Hey guys, first time poster here. I want to start an Internet business and am currently doing my due diligance on the different market verticals. I'm leaning more towards affiliate marketing, and I've come accross the following resources. Can anyone provide a review? Or suggest another good resource to learn about the business and get started? Thanks in advance.

- WealthAffiliate.com

- SupperAffiliates.com

- RichJerk.com

Thanks.
 


I wouldn't bother to spend money on any of those as you can probably find them for free, but you can definitely find all of the information you need on this forum and in the blogs of many of this forum's members. Those programs are set up to prey on people new to the business and create lots of hype and don't really deliver for the money. They're set up to make the person selling them money, not to make you money. But then again, I'm a newb at this shit too so dont take my word as concrete truth.
 
In my experience (of business in general - I'm an Internet marketing n00b as well), you won't gain a great deal from just reading resources. Best thing to do is get your hands dirty and not worry too much about where to start. Pick something. (Anything)

Give it a go.
Expect to fail. (Failure is good. You don't learn half as much from successes.)
Do a bit more reading.
Record everything you do and learn from it.
Repeat x 10000

I'm doing my first test today - I've already sussed that the affiliate programme sucks and I'll need to change it, but it's far more about understanding the process at this stage.

It's a good thing nobody told Thomas Edison that. ;)

In all seriousness - no, if you do the same thing over and over again 10,000 times, you probably have a mental deficiency of some sort. But if you go in prepared to do whatever it takes, and to learn from all your mistakes, you have a decent chance of getting somewhere.

I reckon most people give up after 5-7 failures.
 
Yeah, dude, please don't waste your money on those books (especially RichJerk - it's a crock full of dooky).

I agree with ones that say to read this board, or any other forums you're a member of, and read the piss out of it. Pick something, do it, and see what happens. If you fail (and the reality is, you probably will), then just try again! It takes most successful marketers years of trial and error before they find what they're really good at.

Good luck!
 
Yeah read the forum, and especially check out emp's sticky thread in the newbie section. It's a good starting point. Reading blogs and forums (for free) will teach you much more than most ebooks that you have to pay for.

Think twice before you pay for information in this business. ;)
 
all of those things will ensure failure.

You need to find something searchers NEED and then convince them why your offer fits their NEED.

Rich jerk is a MLM scheme and the others are jsut trying to take your money for information that is freely distributed elsewhere.

If you really wanna spend money on info products, the only ones that I can say are really worth it are marketingsherpa's stuff.
 
I bought Rich Jerk a year ago and wasn't impressed. I felt like I wasted my money. I have never heard of superaffiliates.com so I can't give you an honest review.

I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for a month and I have learned more than I ever learned from any of the ebooks that I bought.

I am giving 25% off of Wealthy Affiliate plus 4 bonuses and the tools to get your own referral sales (you get 14 dollars a month for everyone you refer to wealthy affiliate but you have to be a Wealtlhy Affiliate member to be an affiliate) Its easy to get two people to sign up which gets you the Wealthy Affiliate membership for free. My site is wealthyaffiliatepromotion.com
