Affiliate Marketing Tools for Beginners

February 11, 2008 Filed Under: Affiliate Marketing Tools

I have received emails about what tools new Affiliate Marketers need in order to be successful in Internet Marketing.  Here is the most important advice I can give you about tools.

Do not spend any of your hard earned money on affiliate marketing tools!

  NONE!!

 I just read a post from Amit Mehta about a new tool to help generate huge campaigns in minutes called Efficient PPC.  This program is supposed to provide all of the functionality of SpeedPPC at a dramatically reduced price - $99.  SpeedPPC cost an astounding $497 (read: 500 smackers, big ones, quan, walrus pelts)

Are they worth it?  Well, that depends on your needs and campaign strategy.  They are very powerful tools and can do amazing things but the one thing they WON’T do is make you successful overnight.

For new affiliate marketers, you already have all of the tools you need to get started making money online.

Beginner affiliate marketers should focus on taking the lessons they’ve learned and applying them TODAY!  Start small and cheap, build a small campaign with what you’ve got, first.  Make sure affiliate marketing is something you really want to do.

Then after the endorphin high of making your first sale wears off (and it is an awesome feeling, even if it is for only 12.95 like mine was), analyze what got you that sale, rinse and repeat until you have a full-blown successful campaign.

Get two successful campaigns running, then you can accurately assess whether you need a tool like SpeedPPC or it’s less expensive cousin Efficient PPC.  By then, you’ll have the money to invest in an expensive product or program and you’ll have the knowledge of how to get the most out of these tools.

Don’t be an idiot like I was.  I dropped a TON of money into Affiliate Marketing tools and programs and all I had to show for it was that $12.95 sale.  I ditched the tools, got back to the basics and now my endorphins are throwing parties 2-3 times a day and for significantly more than 12.95 a sale (actually one campaign is almost $100 a sale).

Stick with me for the Beginner Affiliate Marketing Course and I’ll show you the only tools you need to get started are sitting right in front of you.

Definitely take a look at the SpeedPPC and Efficient PCC websites, their tutorials on setting the program up give some insights into how to run a good campaign but keep your wallet in your pocket.

    Good advice. I’m new to internet marketing, well, let me rephrase. I’m new to internet marketing that will work. I plan to follow your blog and learn as much as I can. I definitely think people are willing to throw money at things thinking that it’ll make getting rich easy.

    Love the blog, and I see you’ve read 4HWW, which has got me back into wanting to make an income from any internet connection in the world.

    Cheers!

    Chis,
    Welcome aboard. I hope you get some real value out of these lessons.

    It is starting slow but I promise this is going to be fun!

    Yeah, I enjoyed the 4HWW but like all books of that nature, it was very over simplified. They are GREAT for motivation though, that is why I have a shelf full of them.

    Best of luck,
    Mike
