When I first started to venture into Affiliate Marketing and working at home, I quickly discovered that I somehow needed to acquire the virtues of patience, perseverance, and hope. These I have come to know are extremely vital to my success.
I began with such a small amount of financial resources and so little basic computer skills, that I was truly afloat in unchartered waters. But I had the drive and desire to do this so I set out to do just that.
First of all, I would like to say thank you to the successful marketers who spend their time and resources in educating and guiding people like me, to find the way to becoming a success. Without these generous people, I know I'd really be lost..so thank you!!
I started to sign up to some great affiliate marketing sites and with the help of You Tube I began watching a wide variety of tutorial videos on building a website, marketing techniques, and promoting products. And a host of other necessary "things" that I needed to learn how to do. This includes learning a lot of computer skills that I had no knowledge of. I would simply type a search word in to my browser, like how to cut and paste, or how to upload a video, and on and on I went. Now of course all of this didn't cost any money at all.
There are a great number of affiliate programs that I signed up for where I started to learn about the "lingo", so to speak, that is a part of internet marketing. What the various words meant and how to apply them in my marketing endeavor. For example, links, FTP, analytics, SEO, PPC, and so many more.
I was able to invest a small amount of money, which I needed to do, to build my first website. It was $10.00 to register a domain name and about $9.00 a month for hosting. Surly I cannot complain about that! When it comes to the financial part of things I'm really on a shoestring budget. Of course have more money than what I have would enable me to get a little more creative and productive with my campaigns. But I'm thankful as is, and I have found that I can eventually start to bring in an income (though that hasn't happened yet) if I just persevere and continue to learn from others.
Now in regards to the unlimited number of systems that guarantee an enormous amount of money while you hardly do anything, and there are so many of them, all I will say is buyer beware. For me this is a lot of hard work with the study involved and the mindset that I need to get in to. Which is basically, what are people searching for online, what problems are they having that they would like solved, and of course lets not forget about playtime too!!
So in closing, I've learned that this is a goal within my reach and I can succeed on a limited budget if I persevere and continue to stay headed in the right direction!
