Thank you Stuart!

Again a great comment and it is soooo true…

As a beginner, I just made the mistake of sending traffic to the affiliate pages directly and also putting them into traffic exchanges, clicking myself almost to dead. All wrong!

And very important to realise: on the affiliate page there is usually also a sign-up box. Guess from whom, the owner of the page. So as such an affiliate, I was building the list of others, not mine. I just wastet a lot of time and effort.

My advice: use the affiliate material usually availabe, then make a squeeze page of your own to presell the product, create a small report or review and let your visitor sign up to YOUR list first to get it. In the report you then have the real affiliate links or more…

Believe me, it works. And when you use Stuarts Turnkey Cash Kits, you get plenty of good samples you can learn from!

Good luck and most important – Enjoy what you are doing.

Thanks you for all of your advice, My main problem is sending that first email, for fear of spam, so how do you get that first name to start your list

Thanks

Luis – When you have a system with a professional autoresponder service like Aweber (the one I use), each subscriber is double optin, meaning they had to register then confirm, meaning they requested the info and agreed to receiving emails, so there is little worry about spam complaints.

Malcolm – Good point. You need traffic first to send to your squeeze page and get them on your list. The lucky thing is that we can “borrow” existing lists (solo emails, ezine ads etc) and get them on to our list.

Thanks everyone for the comments so far!

P.S.
BTW.
I love your blog theme…!!

It took me a long time to realise not only the importance … but long term value of building a list. I wished I’d listened to people like you several years ago because I’d have cut years of scraping sales and spinning my wheels.

Now I’m actually seeing daily growth and progression – and it feels good!

Thanks for the post!

This is some fanatastic advice. I’m fiercely following along and looking forward to learning from you.

I normally jump all over the ‘net because I have the tendancy to read often (which isn’t always a great idea because the majority of blogs just copy from each other) but I have to say that yours contains some real substance! Thanks for stopping the trend of just being another copycat site!

Affiliate marketing has the potential for bringinng passive income streams, but you unquestionably will want to put some time and effort when starting out to get your strategies in place.

Thanks for that it’s just what I was looking for. Come visit sometime maybe you’ll find something useful too

Fantastic advise. will try to follow.
