Hey guys...

[jesseakers]

I am new to the forum and have been reading a lot of posts hoping for things to start becoming a little no more clear but am getting mentally sidetracked. There is a lot to learn and kudos to you that have it all figured out. My question would be are there any books/videos that you would suggest for a beginner? It seems that there are several ways to find success but choosing a way seems like the first step and with all of the choices it is kinda tough to choose what I am going to do. I actually messed around a bit with e commerce back in like......97 and I made my 1st $40 without spending a dime but the company never paid me. Back then I didn't understand that you needed to make x amount to justify cutting a check so I got flustered and didn't try anymore. But looking around your forum and searching the net has got me intrigued again. This time I am not giving up! Where can I get a summary of sorts covering the different options/campaigns that have proven successful?

Hey! I'm new too so don't hang on every word I say, but I'm nice.

Here's a kick ass thread you need to read:
http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate...-trove-2008-articles-posts-you-need-read.html

I wouldn't recommend everything in it, but there is some killer information there.


Here's a newbie guide to affiliate marketing:
Newbie Guide | NickyCakes.com

You have to understand some terms to get it, but it's pretty straight forward.

This whole forum has a lot of good ideas. I would suggest being careful where and what you post though here, it's a lot different but it has a lot to offer you.

These people know what they are talking about so it's best to shut up and listen.
(not necessarily myself, I'm a newbie as I said)

Giving straight forward to you the whole point in making your money is choosing how to do it.

You could start your own informational product and market it/give it to affiliates

You could affiliate market things yourself, you could use free method and/or paid methods

you could use Grey hat methods (I suggest grey instead of black as black never ends up being good for you)

and there are many other ways, but the thing is you have to think outside the box. Many people who have the best methods are hush hush about it because the more people that know the less they'll make, usually.

You sound like you aren't the kind that sticks to a plan if you made $40 and quit. You have to be able to stick to your plan, not get sidetracked and be fucking determined. Determination, hope, start up money and most importantly SMARTS are gonna get you somewhere.

As for books or places to read stuff, there are plenty of free places to read stuff. Do google searches, ask questions in the newbie section here (please use the SEARCH bar first, many things are already answered!)

Or pay somebody here who's experienced to guide you through something.

Here's another note for the forums: Don't get riled up about anybody commenting on your posts/threads. It means nothing. Ignore it.

Well, I hope I helped!
