Default Hi, I want to make affiliate marketing my career

Hello, I am 21 and in college, working from home online. I want to make Affiliate Marketing my main income.

Right now I am promoting things like Firesales or Resell Rights Packages... in order to build a list....

So right now I've been looking for all the super sales I can find. And how to set up a supersale of my own! Or along with others..

Do you have any tips to quickly advertise things like Firesales?

Thanks and nice to meet you all.

-Aaron

Hi,
Not into fire sales myself but into niche marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a great business but obviously it takes some hard work

I think what you need to do is build an opt in email list. That way you can promote directly to your subscribers

there really are no short cuts

Hi, thanks for the response.

How do you market with Niche products?

An information site? A newsletter? A product? All three?

I agree building a list is key.

But as for Firesales, what about things like e-zine Solo Ads and so forth?

There must be ways to quickly promote things such as firesales aside from having your OWN list. Maybe leveraging someone elses in a clever way.

Regards,

Aaron

My suggestion is to learn SEO first. Getting targetted traffic to a site is imperative to making money.

I don't think its just choosing IM to be your sole income- its whether or not you can. don't quit your day job in other words. Start off adding a couple more hours a week and see if the added hours are paying off.
