SO HERE'S YOUR WEBSITE, WHATS NEXT! Ultimately you will end up with your own website through which you will drive your visitors, from here you will point them to your affiliate sites where they will succumb to the killer sales page and make purchases.
Keeping this in mind, know that you will still have to make people aware of your site, this stage is imperative to your online success so you will have to work out which traffic generation methods you wish to implement.
Choose three or four different methods that you will enjoy using and are comfortable with but always be on the lookout for new promotions that look promising thus ensuring a broader spectrum of potential consumers to be targeted.
'PROMOTE' THE PRODUCTS - DON'T 'PUSH' THEM Treat your website basically as a funnel, its purpose is to introduce the visitors to the main product sales page site through the promotion of the product, so rather than put the heavy sales copy on visitors you should be trying to promote and display the benefits of the product and try to install a feeling of need or want putting the visitor in a position where they feel the desire to purchase rather than the hard sell, that would be a mistake and should be avoided at all cost.
The job of the main product sales site is to do the hard selling for you so don't push the product on your site.
Now this leads us into the second job for this site and one that is very important for the future.
BUILD A LIST - This really pays dividends Repeat business is the life blood of brick and mortar businesses and so it is the same for us on the internet the hard work has already been done some one has found us and is interested in something we have to offer, having a mechanism in place to capture their details is essential and can save us plenty of time and effort when it comes to presenting them with a future proposal to purchase possibly similar products, a ready made market if you like, the sales are in the list im sure you have heard this said before and it is very true.
GO TO SLEEP AND YOU LOSE Keep in mind that the internet moves along at its own pace which as you can imagine is pretty frenetic as its pushed by millions, so you must remember that once the commissions start rolling in you should keep your finger on the pulse to remain viable and not to lose your place in the sun as it were; don't let this momentum die get in and accelerate your online business building it and your reputation fixing or discarding that which is not working.
Just remember that the only silly question is one that isn't asked so any problems encountered should be fixed or explored, to ignore them could be a costly error.
BE MINDFUL of YOUR REPUTATION Remember you are here for a long time as well as a good time so your reputation means everything don't get caught up in questionable practices or products remember the world is your oyster when it comes to picking products.
DON'T TOSS IN THE TOWEL Your successful affiliate business will ultimately be determined by ability to stay in the game.
If certain products are lost causes learn from them and move on, but don't throw in the towel because more effort or learning may be needed to succeed in that particular instance.
Remember you are in control of your own success!
