Good info. Nothing happens without traffic...and EVERYTHING happens WITH it.

Just wanted to thank you for the info. I'm new to this and am very overwhelmed at this point. I'm trying to find some direction. I've put up a simple site already and I've also got invovled in a few programs already. It seems to me that anyone who even remotely sounds like they want to offer help are just trying to get you to join their programs so it's hard to trust anyone. Anyway thanks again for the info

That's DEFINITELY true. Don't spend a DIME until you've done a lot of reading...at least a month's worth.

Then pick a path and stick with it. That's where most people fall down.

Hey Y'all,
I'm new to this forum and to affiliate marketing. I am fortunate in that I can put together a half decent website. Ive found a couple of products on clickbank but so far no luck for 3 weeks. Are thay the only game in town? I like the post about staying focused - big problem for me. I have 2 marketing sites up and both need work. I'll focus on one at a time until each is right. Keep the advice coming and thanks a lot.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you are ) focus is key. Really try and maximize traffic to one of your sites, and if possible use that to try and promote your other. However, neither will succeed if spread your attention too thin over too many projects. Once you get it down, multitasking will be not only easier, but more successful. Most of all, good luck!

I couldn't put up a website worth a darn. I understood all the concepts about SEO, getting traffic, PPC, affiliate marketing, etc. but I could not for the life of me create a website or blog and attach it to the webhost. Just could not.

I came to realize that I needed a designer to help me, and I got one that did. My site is up and running, and I paid another specialist to get me some traffic. I'm getting some traffic now.

I agree it takes patience, but part of growing in a business is learning from your mistakes, finding your strengths and weaknesses and working around them. If you believe that crap about the SECRET and wishing your way to riches, then what on earth are you doing trying to open a business? You should be meditating now.

Remember that Thomas Edison said that success was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, but if something aint working, don't repeat it. Get creative and find other ways or relent to the fact that you need a little help.
