very inspired post, thanks Linda!

It's really not easy to start and it's all about learning, test, trial and error...
If there are so easy to success, then we will have a lot of multi-millionaire on the road...

Is there an easy to understand 'affiliate road map' though - by following which a newbie affiliate would be able to get himself or herself going from scratch, without having much to read? Some ways of promoting a product that would be working right away for most cases?

I wrote an article called Getting Started Online and compared it to starting a business offline.

Quick answer no, you're starting a new business. The best thing you can do is learn everything you can about it

There really are a lot of risks involved, but might be worth taking as long as you're determined and skilled. Thanks for the informative post..

I finally got this a while back. My background is in sales, pr, teaching etc. I came onto the internet understanding how business worked. For the longest time I wondered why are newbies not treating this like an offline business?

Answer - they have, on the average, no offline business experience

Beleive it or not, this was a revelation to me

It was written by Matt Levenhagen and I hope he'll pardon me for quoting so much of the article, but he makes such important points PLUS you really need to go to his blog to read the rest of this insightful piece.



Go read the rest at Matt's blog:
Desire Mixed with Trial & Error Equals Affiliate Success

Then come back and share your thoughts below.

I totally agree with you! In fact, the idea is pretty similar to one of the philosophy in my life.

You must have the flexibility to change what's not working now, and take even more action!

I haven’t seen a data entry site yet that’s not a scam nor have a seen a site that promises hundreds of dollars a day that is not a scam

Although I am new to relatively new Internet Marketing the one thing I have learned is that it definitely takes time and perseverance. I am hopeful that one day, the efforts will pay off. In the meantime I have dedicated all my free time in developing my business. It is important to note that after struggling on my own, I have found it extremely useful to work with others who have been there and done that successfully.
