Two Affiliate Marketing Mistakes Made By Beginners
Written by Pablo Palatnik on July 6, 2007
I’ll make this quick and sweet. You can read as many blogs as you want, purchase as many programs as you would like about making money with affiliate marketing but the field is a whole other ball game.
Now if you’re planning on starting affiliate marketing doing PPC and have never done so…good luck. It’s going to be a bumpy ride but chances are from running a bunch of campaigns, something will give. Affiliate Marketing is like almost everything else, it’s a numbers game.
I ran a campaign for something everyone kept saying wouldn’t work and is dead and BAM. Great results…I never really tried it because I thought the market was too saturated for it, but you never know unless you try.
1- Don’t always listen to what you read or hear. Try anything and everything.
2- NEVER GIVE UP. It’s a numbers game. Have to keep going until you find the offer that sticks.
What do others have to say?
Fraser from Azoogle Ads: oh man there’s tons…
1) using the azjmp.com link as their display URL.
2)Bidding on ‘Free’ in ringtones.
3)bidding on trademarked terms.
4)having a tiny KW list, like 5 KW’s.
5)not knowing why they haven’t made any money and got 20 clicks
6)Running the offer that has the highest CPA
Gary from PrimaryAds: Beginning affiliates have an unrealistic view what it takes to make money in affilaite marketing. Their eyes are bigger than there bellies and they come into it with unrealistic expectations and in turn that affects how they actually go about what they are trying to accomplish. Affilaites need a solid foundation of the basics especially when it comes to search marketing. They need to first learn and then when it is time….. execute.

Yes! Completley agree…I know a lot of people that 1- always listen to everything everyone says and 2- really do just give up after 24 hours. I believe you have to run a campaign for about 48+ to really give it a chance.

Pablo, you’ve summed up my sentiments exactly in terms of how ‘the game’ really works.
