Just realized after 10 years of working as a marketing specialist for digital agencies that I don't know a damn thing. If I had to survive on my own, and earn money online I wouldn't make it. I want to learn how to make a self-sufficient income. I think BHW has the resources to make that possible. The first thing I want to learn is how to do product research and identify niches where there is demand and offers that resonate. Let's get it!

Welcome to the forum!! Are you trying to tackle the world of affiliate marketing, smart links and offers? Have you already tried anything and figured out that may or may not work for you. This is definitely a great place to start and look for the right threads and information to find what will work well for you! :)

My background is mostly in local search optimization for small businesses, seo, building websites, and email marketing. If I'm being honest, none of these things have helped the businesses that employ me so I guess I am lucky I have had a job for as long as I have.

I am definitely interested in affiliate marketing. I am not sure what a smart link is.

I had success years ago selling day trading type offers but eventually the places I was promoting it didn't let me do it anymore.

I then attempted to promote personal health coaching (I have extensive personal experience and success with treating back pain and digestive disorders). I bought a course by Sam Ovens - Consulting Accelerator to help me do that but was unable to make it work by promoting my offers through Facebook groups, youtube, etc.

I then paid for another coach to help me find another niche that would work. That failed as well. I tried to put out content like Russel Brunson about another product and that gained no traction. I have certainly paid out a lot of money for these products with not much to show for it. Seems like the solutions are way too complicated for my skillset so I can't implement them properly.

So I want to start out small, figure out what works, and make my first marketing dollar since my day trading product 10 years ago. I think promoting other people's products is going to be a good start. Thanks for the encouragement and I am going to read and absorb as much as I can every day on BHW :)

Oh wow! That is amazing! Truthfully was quite a pleasant read! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Smartlink is a URL through which you can redirect traffic to the correct offer based on targeting on Geo, device, etc. This will help to utilize the traffic without wasting it, so you bring the right eyes to your offers and products you are trying to advertise. This forum has definitely a lot of material worth reading before diving right in:) Please do share your progress when you can that I am sure will also help a lot of people exploring the world of Affiliate marketing.

Are sure these skills didn't help your clients.

These are all the skills one need for affiliate marketing or creating passive income stream.

So you already have knowledge and you just need to put that into action.

Thanks for the encouragement! I feel like you guys on here are the real deal. Looking forward to being a part of this community and making things happen!
 
All you need is a cup of coffee and some free time to read BHW money making section. Check for old threads.
Thanks Nut-Nights. I went all the way back on the Making Money --> Making Money section. All the way back to page 2982 which has posts from 2006/2007. A lot of talk about adsense. I am guess that is too far perhaps. Can you give me an idea of how back you think it would make sense to go?
 
Semrush recommended for niche research. Once you know the competition you want to investigate, analyze your competition through the semrush site.
