Hello,

If you are still reading this thread looking for recommendations I would suggest that you start social marketing with squidoo/hubpages. It is very simple to get a page started that will collect your clicks, and you can immediately network to get views and the pages are seod for you, etc.

HOWEVER......you still need to do everything you would with a normal website to promote it, and this of course takes time and seo skills, link building skills, etc.

So, if you want to attempt to get traffic quickly and possibly get one of your first few sales then head over to a social site, like the ones mentioned above( which are free), and take a look around. This is by far one of the fastest ways to get started. If you go down the wordpress path, or attempt to create a site from scratch, you will spend tons of time building the thing before you can even think about marketing it.

People making good money have at least a year of skills, and often times they are using PPC and dancing with the devil of credit. We tend to see the success stories, and they are so conspicuous because they go viral on the web. In summation, uhhh..... I must close with the old cliche: Internet Marketing is harder than your average job, and..... you may put loads of time in for very little profit when you first start out. Good luck.

P.S. Make sure you pick a merchant with 1800# tracking, no sequence that overrides your cookies(e-mails from a merchant to YOUR lead that don't credit your cookie), and encrypt your links. Oh, and NO EBOOKS.

P.P.S 8 hours a day for a month with 0 profit is very common if you work to get organic traffic.

Affiliate marketing is not something you can master in a day. It is not as easy as posting your affiliate link to every person on earth. You need to constantly update yourself about the business.

You can get people to motivate you everyday but I personally think that motivation should come from within. You should be clear of what you want to achieve in life and in your business.

If you get your mind right, you will be able to market your product more consistently and it will be your turn to give encouraging words to others very soon.

Hope that helps.

Hmm dont know about 5 minutes a day, but an hour or two can definitely see you making progress within a month.
