Casual Articles - What Does The New Affiliate Need?
Don't Sell Your Services; That's Not What People Buy areas of promotion outside of website promotion etc).Believe it or not, no one actually buys your service. No one buys coaching. No one buys consulting. No one buys financial planning. So what do people buy? Well, there are, in fact, two things people buy.The first thing people buy is a solution to a problem.People buy a service only because they believe it will solve certain problems and give them certain results. They are not buying the "how" of a service. Your service is simply the "how" you do it. Your service is the tool or method you use to solve problems and deliver results.Do you buy a hammer because you just want a hammer? Do you buy a car because you just want a car? Do you go to the dentist because you happen to feel like being drilled? These examples s Domains are priced from as little as $5 to about an average of $12 per year. Certainly don't ever pay more than $20 for your standard .com, .net or .biz domains. A hosting package with the necessary facilities for a new Affiliate should cost no more than $3 to $5 per month. If it does, you're being charged too much, or paying for things that you simply don't need, nor ever will. A hosting package, which includes free 'sub-domains’, is a must for any Affiliate. Safelist Membersh It's not surprising at all, given the level of exposure that this particular home business model enjoys online. Certainly, every website with a home based business theme promotes or at least suggests Affiliate marketing as a possibility for the thousands of budding 'Netpreneurs' (not being a fan of 'buzzwords', I really do hate that expression!). There would also seem to have been a recent increase in ebooks and tutorials etc promising the recipe for success in Affiliate Marketing. Having written one myself and read many, I can say firsthand that some are valuable, helpful and useful products which will go a long way towards getting a budding Affiliate up and running and, provided they have the necessary drive, perseverance and 'certain other qualities', on the way to success in their dream of working from home. Of course, some (IMO probably about 50%) are total rubbish, a promotional vehicle for some other product or program, or both. One article is certainly not going to go anywhere near giving the necessary advice to the information hungry 'Newbie' who is chasing the promised dream of a successful home business. Nor will it suggest much in terms of the necessary requirements and facilities etc. However, after recommending a couple of the better (and more reasonably priced) tutorial ebooks, I will generally suggest that their initial Affiliate endeavor should include, at least, the following: Domain and Hosting Package - Although it is possible for some to achieve a level of success in Affiliate Marketing without a website, the chances of a 'Newbie' having the knowledge, experience and abilities in the required areas is unlikely (i.e. copy writing ability for email ads and Google Adwords® and knowledge and skills in areas of promotion outside of website promotion etc).

Safelist Memberships - I know that many say that Safelists are not very useful for promoting anything, as they are populated primarily by other home business people who are all there to promote rather than buy. This is true however, the fact that most are others in the same position as yourself, Safelists are a good opportunity for a new Affiliate to promote products, which may well be of interest to others who are also building or promoting their Affiliate activities thus, they are also useful for building your downlines. Membership and activity in at least, a couple of larger ones, plus a few of the smaller (they can tend to be more responsive 'pro-rata') is a good idea. Safelists also offer the opportunity to see how others are writing their email copy and seeing what other opportunities are available can be an educational experience for the new operator. Safelists are also very much a good way to simply stay in touch with what is happening in the Affiliate/Home Business industry. Traffic Exchange - Again, there are some who may doubt the usefulness of the Traffic Exchanges however, again, I see them as a useful facility, especially for the new Affiliate. Admittedly, the traffic that your website will receive from the exchanges is 'non-targeted' and very unlikely to consist of anyone other than those who are, again, in the same position as yourself. However, as in the case of Safelists, Traffic Exchanges are useful for building your Affiliate downlines and also for the very same opportunities and experience that the Safelists present. Imaging Editor - In my opinion, a good image editor is essential for anyone involved in building and maintaining their own website/s (for a new Affiliate to pay for this service would be financially crippling). The good news is that there are a number of imaging programs, which will perform all the modification and adjustments that most webmasters would need and the one I suggest as the best is freeware. It is called 'Irfanview®' and can be downloaded free at their website Irfanview.com. Website Editing Program - As I just mentioned, having to pay someone to build and maintain a website (let alone more th
