Okay so I've been lurking here for a bit, trying to get my head around this whole game. Been going through some of the stickys, (although there are a few dead links in there btw). Being a total noob to basically everything affiliate marketing there is a lot of shit to try and "get".
Backlinking, clickbank, SEO, about 46 different colored hats of marketing, a lot of which is probably common to many of you but Christ, it's a bit overwhelming to someone brand new.
I mean I have some ideas on what I'd like to try as far as a niche....I think. But where to go from there is like WTF, I've watched you tube videos on this, looked at some books, lurked here, watched the videos in that thread about the hand holding for newbies (seemed straightforward enough), but I have no idea on things like say an eBook:
Do I write one of them?
Is there a place where someone has one and I can promote it?
Is it worth trying the strategy mentioned in that thread?
Or is it better to do a blog or do a website?
What about a site like Commission Junction? Do I try to get something going there to start out?
I don't want this to come off as a "looking for a handout thread", I'm willing to read and research but there is (or seems like) so much shit to know before I even get started. Am I obsessing over too much here?
As far was what I'm looking to achieve going into this..... Simple. Probably what a lot of people starting out look for. A way to actually see something come out of it. I'm not looking to make 10K a month right off the bat, not that I'd hate it. But I have a bit of a realist in me, I would just like to see something generating anything remotely profitable to offset.......whatever the hell it is I'm supposed to be doing.
So.
If this does go against all that is this site, I'll apologize in advance, go back to lurking and you guys can flame on!
