^^^^ Noob methods for failure.

If you are new and only have a few hundred bucks to your name to test with the above method might work - but it relies on you finding a product that 'accidentally' works for you.

Here's what I'd say.

Don't randomly set up campaigns and try to sell ebooks or skin creams or something. You should be attempting campaigns that have shown good results for other affiliates. Especially if you're new.

If you can't get a campaign to profit and you know other affs are doing well with it then you are the problem. The good news is you can fix your problems and make the campaign work.

Spending $100 on a campaign and deciding it's a failure is retarded. If I had done that in the beginning I'd be nowhere and probably would have given up... or I'd be one of the affiliate marketing morons that makes a couple grand a day, thinks he's "made it" and starts a blog/twitter to tell everyone how I did it (you know who you are).

My method is to start the campaign and force it to profitability, where there is a will there is a way and it's much easier than jumping from product to product trying to find one that works by accident. Sure you might lose some money in the beginning but you make it back when you figure out how to stop losing money and start making money.

The truth is that most products will sell if promoted correctly.

99.9% of the time the problem is not the campaign, it's the affiliate. (btw - that is the exact phrase that someone said to me and changed my life)
This is good info, and I gave you a "Like." What would your approach be if you were testing your own info product (as I am)?
