Affiliate Marketing.. Where Do I Start?

Besides the great BHW forum you will find helpful tips on diggittymarketing and seotool industryblogs like semrush and ahref. Also check blogs of the bigger affnetworks. These offer good knowledge and studies on the topic of affmarketing for free.

If you have little to 0 budget I would advise you to learn how to get a site/blog up and running

Hello everyone,

I love going through the money making section here because of the ideas that people bring to the table. That being said I'm pretty new to IM in general. I understand the concepts that are being posted here in regards to IM and Affiliate Marketing. My problem is not knowing where to start...

I want to be able to bring in traffic but how do I set up my first money making link? What is a good website to start with? How do I set up my first pay per click link so that I can begin to use these methods??

Thank you so much. A referral to a youtube video, website, forum, post, anything that can give me some info. Even personal help and advice on how to start here would be amazing. Thanks again

Sure. I don’t buy courses though

If you know absolutely nothing, do check those all time best on reddit. Also, probably worth checking out Backlinko, or sticky posts in several subforums here on BHW. Stick with those 3 sources. TOO much stuff to filter through on the SEO/IM world, and this can be hard for a beginner.

Thanks. This is where I get stuck. There’s an overload of information that I end up confusing myself with. I’ve decided to start my own social media blog since this post. I chose this because of the low cost startup. This will also get the ball rolling and allow me to interact with what I continue to learn, thanks for this piece of information!

The fact you know and have joined this forum means you have already taken the first step! Here are some tips:

1. Be ready to read, read and read. Read as much as you can from this forum (affiliate marketing subforum for you)- read main posts and even replies. There is golden nuggets everywhere.
2. Do not have the shiny object syndrome. As a beginner, you need not pay to learn anything which is available for free elsewhere. Plan your budget.
3. Do some research on reddit and see what they are doing.
4. Plan and most importantly, EXECUTE!
5. You will get stuck - dont worry. There are 1000s of members here who will help you out

Good luck!

This is such good advice I can’t stress it enough. No matter what I do if I decide I’m determined to learn something I always will on my own without paying course. That’s been my experience at least. Patience is key here. I’ve learned a lot since this post and I’ve started my own social media blog to get the ball rolling. I want to interact with what I learn here; I still want to learn black hat methods and build my own easy small website to create traffic. This is my BIG goal (although it may seem like a piece of cake to a lot of people). I’m hoping to make some friends in this industry and learn with people.

Avoid too much information overload with courses and tutorials..narrow down to tips and implement immediately.

Where to start internet market depend on your intentions where do you want to specialize on and improve yourself on. Good luck to your journey

You can check out a fantastic article on Affiliate Marketing on Nolan Shipmans blog which is very insightful but i won't post the link because i might get accused for spamming you! I only dabble a little bit in affiliate marketing, it's more of a high interest of mine rather than something i do. I highly recommend reading it though!

The easy way in the beggining, is get a .com domain and redirect it to a smarturl, (you can get it from your affiliate network) and then search on BHW and specially on the journey section to see how other people are driving traffic. And u will start earning money.

For the niches, u can go with any profitable niche.

you better read more before going into any field, specially if u gonna risk money

Really interesting

Just pick a method shared in this section and start it. Some of the methods do not even require any investment.

If you have budget to invest then start with learning paid traffic. Push is better for newbie. If you don't have budget then start with free methods such as creating social media accounts facebook, instagram , twitter and promoting CPA offers or porn re-upload (search it on BHW) method.
