Hey guys. I dont know HTML so uploading websites and all these tracking codes, postback urls and what not are confusing me. Can someone mentor me and coach me to get an affiliate campaign to earn money? I'm a college kid and really need some help earning money. Thanks
Tackle one step at a time. All the info is in the forum, there's a great getting started guide. As far as adding the codes / tracking, it will make sense if you read the user guide that comes with each tracking software and just work your way through it. Figuring these things out is a good litmus test for whether you're the kind of person who can make it in affiliate marketing. i.e., if you want someone to organize all the information and spoon feed it to you instead of working through it and figuring out how / what works and why, you may not be cut out for this industry.
That being said, just take it 1 step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself. Define the first task you need to figure out, then do it, and proceed from there. It's what every one in this forum did, most of us without access to the great resources that are available here.
ok cool. thanks.
Yeah you're gonna need to research one thing at a time.
If you're desperate for money, I would consider finding an alternate way (but still try affiliate marketing) because chances are you will lose $2000 over the next 2 months before you start making money. You need to have a bit of disposable money to start comfortably.
I can completely understand why it's confusing right now! I was pretty confused when I started affiliate marketing and I've got a 20+ year technical background.
As you may have seen, I'm actively working on making the technical aspects of affiliate marketing more easily understandable. There are now a lot of guides on the forum on various technical aspects, and I'm writing more today!
If you're having any problems that aren't covered by our current guides, please do post 'em on the forum so that a) you can get help and b) I know what else I need to cover.
