I'm really stuck in a rut, I've been reading this forum on/off for a while now but a bit overwhelmed by the different terminology and methods discussed.
A bit of background about me and where I'm at....
I've had an interest in the internet and coding for about 20 years, but never made a £1 doing so. I can repurpose html themes, register domains, upload to server, etc, to get a site live. I can make working applications with asp, php, reading/writing to databases, etc. I've experimented with scraping data with python/selenium/beautifulsoup. I'm also reasonably proficient with client side css, javascript, etc. Usually, I can create a script/solution to solve a problem using a suitable language/platform. While my skills are adequate for me, dont think I have the level of experience to get a full time job in this field, more of a hobby coder.
So I think I can get something published, but really struggling with is the basic concepts of how the use the various social 'channels' to funnel traffic through to the offer (affiliate, cpa, etc).
I'm not asking for a specidic method, but asking maybe for some advice where I should start off to dip my toe in IM. Some sort of follow along basic concept. I've thought about starting with an affiliate site with ** number of articles, but not sure on how to use the placement of affiliate links within the site, such as banners, or perhaps product reviews with scraped live pricing from Amazon, with an affiliate link. Is this a viable option to start off with, and scalable. Or are there other revenue streams more rewarding I could try with current skillset.
I'm also unsure on how to generate traffic via social networks, and get followers, etc. I've read posts about other people creating 100's of social accounts, but again dont understand the purpose of this?
Appreciate your time for reading, and welcome and good advice or criticism on the post, etc.
Many thanks, J
