A Newbie CAN Make Money Online

Many new affiliate marketers will not make money online. In fact, more than 90% will make little or no money during their first year. Why is it that some people can make millions through affiliate marketing while the majority makes no money at all?

One big reason the most newbies fail is they fall for the hype. They may have started their online business because a friend or associate told them about the fantastic profits available with affiliate products. Because of their inexperience, they jump right in and begin doing searches on ‘making money with affiliate products.’ This type of search will bring up many products that help you make money using affiliate products. Unfortunately, some of those products say that you can make millions in a matter of months. Those of us who are experienced know that this type of product is usually a scam. But the newbie falls for the scam and pulls out the credit card.

When a month has passed and he’s made no money, he abandons this product and moves on to something else. He would have been much better off doing his initial research on some of the large forums. If he had, he would have learned that the key to making affiliate money (or any money online) is in generating traffic.

The newbie marketer goes through the same process with this second product. Because he hasn’t learned how to efficiently generate traffic, he has very little hope of making money. Because he only stays with a program for a month or so, he has NO HOPE of making money.

SO, if you are new to this business and want to make money, do your initial research in the large forums. The Warrior Forum and Digital Point are two good ones. Most people in forums are more than willing to help those who are new to the business. Second, whichever program you choose to promote, make sure it is a good, high quality product, and stay with it for a few months. Make sure that you have sent at least 300 people to the merchant’s sales page before you give up and promote something else. By employing these techniques, you increase your chances of making money from ‘no hope’ to a decent chance.

I recently wrote an article designed to provide information to people who were new to Internet marketing. It was titled, “30 Marketing Facts for the Article Marketing Newbie.” Shortly after the article was posted, someone emailed me saying that they did not appreciate being called a newbie. Wow, some people are soooo sensitive.

I have two nephews that play Runescape on the Internet. It is a game where players interact with each other by buying, selling, acquiring items, and fighting monsters. They tell me that “newbie” or “noob” is considered a derogatory term on that site. Of course it is a game played mostly by the younger generation and profanity is not permitted.

Newbie is not a derogatory term. It is a term that is commonly used on the Internet that refers to someone that is “new” to the business. If you’ve been involved in your Internet business for less than six months, you are probably a newbie. There’s nothing wrong with that, everyone’s got to start somewhere.

I remember when I first ventured into the business. As I wasn’t a techie (knowledgeable in technical computer matters), it all seemed a little overwhelming at first. I didn’t know an SEO from a MLM and I thought a JV was a junior varsity something or other. (It is a joint venture.) But in time I learned some of the jargon and you will too.

However, if you are a newbie, don’t despair. Although many sites offer info for the newbie at a price, there are sites that you can visit that offer help for free. One such site is Joe Robson's "The Newbie Club" (http://www.newbieclub.com/). The Newbie Club provides free ebooks, free tutorials, free ecourses, a free guest book for your website, free autoresponders, and best of all, free membership. This is a great place to go if you are relatively new to the business and need information relating to the Internet or computers.

Another great resource for information is on the article marketing sites. Of course, I’m probably preaching to the choir on this because that’s how you found this article. But you can find information on almost any topic imaginable by searching among their article database. Truly amazing and all for free.

One final method I suggest for information is through forums. A forum is basically a place where you can go to ask questions and have them answered. The easiest way to get started is to browse through the questions that have been asked previously. Frequently this will provide you with the information you need. If you don’t find your answers there, post your own question.

So, remember, newbie is not a derogatory term. And, if you are a newbie, good luck in your new endeavor!
