Hi Allan Gardyne, I am also trying to find easy-to-use advice for beginners in Affiliate Marketing and found your page here, after I read some of your posts, I really don't know what else I can add to the newbies, that you haven't already written about here. So what I will do is leave a link on my page like some one else has done, I can see further up on this page... ;o). Why try to do something, when you have already covered it so well. Susanne |

Thanks for this comprehensive list
I think the major stumbling block for affiliate marketing beginners is the psychology of affiliate marketing The unrealistic expectations due to all the hype, finding out that this business actually does require a certain amount of hard work, the fact that returns on investment are often not immediate. These are but a few examples I wonder if you could suggest any site that addresses this mind set of an affiliate marketer [My free Affiliate Program Tutorial discusses the mindset of an affiliate marketer. It's not just 18 steps to follow. If you click on the "Beginners" link at the top left of this page, you'll find it. Allan.] |

Ami, I think your point is very well taken. Internet Marketing is a job just like any other, it still takes work.
For beginners I would highly suggest becoming a member of popular webmaster forums such as forums.digitalpoint.com warriorforum.com http://www.v7n.com/forums These forums are packed with tons of information and you can ask your own questions as well. |
