What do you need to get started in Affiliate Marketing ?

Alright, Let me try to break it down  to you today. What is Affiliate Marketing or make it even more simple, what do you do as an online marketer ?

First of all, it is about promoting and recommend potential online shoppers to purchase the product they are really interested in. 

What do you need to get started ?


1. Laptop

2. Internet Connection (Duh !)

That is it for the physical material part. Here are the other things that you need.

1. Go to library, there are plenty of books out there that cover online marketing, social media marketing etc.

2. Your time and I cannot tell you how much time, you can spend 1 hr or 24 hrs of your time to learn more about affiliate marketing each day but learning is not a race to the finish line, it should a lifetime marathon.

Before you go out there and make any money.......

I am not going to give you all kind of false hope about affiliate marketing. Of course, you need a good mentor but you need to help yourself to invest in time and knowledge to learn and apply ! 

Of course, there will be many online marketing guru out there who are just do it for the sake of suck money out of you and not providing you a very detailed way on how to succeed in Affiliate marketing.

Initially, some people may take 6 months to maybe a year to really learn how to make money online. Like I said, it is not a sprint to the finish line, it is a marathon. You are going to meet some learning curve along the way and that is fine.

You need to grow your audience by learning how to create your own facebook page, blogs and websites.

One of the few good place to learn how to make a blog is to go to Blogger.com to sign up.

Then you can sign up for certain webpage and online market to become an affiliate. Make sure the product that you sign up for have quite a good review, you do not want to go promoting product that have bad review as it will affect your reputation down the line. Remember ! it took a second to destroy a reputation and took a lifetime to build it.

That is all I have to say today. Anything that kinda cross my mind, I will put it up on this blog.
