Learn Affiliate Marketing

By Calvin Newstead

Learning Affiliate marketing can be done many ways but time and time again it has shown that the people that have the patience to learn affiliate marketing basics, for example, niche research, product selection, keyword research, pre-sell copy, website building, link cloaking, auto-responders and traffic generation go onto create significant affiliate marketing businesses.

I learned affiliate marketing from a well known guru, he taught me the basics and did not leave anything out, at the time it was frustrating but now I have the knowledge that opens many more doors which now is really paying dividends.

It amazes me just how many people try affiliate marketing and have absolutely no idea of the basics. I was recently looking through a forum when I found a thread on making your first affiliate sale. There were many post that had comments saying that they have been promoting products through PPC and losing money, then they ask questions like, "what is a list", "what is an opt-in page", "what a pre-sell was" and many had no idea what affiliate link cloaking was and they wondered why they were losing money.

Lets just take affiliate link cloaking for example, it is a well known fact that most people do not like other people making money from their purchase so they will go out of their way to delete the affiliate ID from the affiliate link even though they will not pay any less.

Then there is theft through spyware or theifware which steels your commissions that you work hard for. So not using affiliate link cloaking can potentially cost you many sales. This is just one basic that when applied can lift your conversion rates over night and it only takes seconds to cloak a link once you know what to do.

With out a doubt, the basics are important if you wish to build a successful affiliate marketing business that will give you a very health income to support a life style that most only dream about. So it is important to start to learn affiliate marketing with the right mindset first, a mindset that you are not going to make your fortune overnight it is going to take a bit of time and effort coupled with persistence. If you go into learning affiliate marketing with this attitude then you are already half way there and ahead of 90% of other newbie’s to affiliate marketing.
