Why Are Beginners Marketing the Hard Way?

What is wrong with people? Why do some people have to do things the hard way. Do they want to be martyrs or is it just ignorance? When it comes to beginners marketing online they have legitimate reasons for doing things the hard way. First they find themselves in unfamiliar territory. The affiliate marketing business is like no other. It is convenient and can be worked from home. It takes almost no investment because most have access to a computer with an Internet connection and they are suffering from information overload. All of this creates the illusion that this is going to be easy and fun.

At first it is. Just like anything new it is exciting and this euphoria stimulates the beginners marketing to gobble up any and all get rich quick plans to the demise of their wallets. Once the honeymoon is over they are left with trying to juggle all their disorganized plans and programs not to mention a hodge podge of poorly built landing pages and websites that haven't even make a dime!

As a beginner marketing online this was true of me. I remember I named my first domain after the motorcycle I ride when the site had nothing to do with motorcycles. I just didn't know any better. This and a bunch of other mistakes started to weigh heavy on my pocketbook and my morale when I realized that after eight months I still hadn't seen any results for my hard work.

At this point I was getting desperate and ready to quit, just like 90% of the other beginners marketing out there at any given time. Then a couple of things happened to me quite by accident. First I ran across a couple of quality online affiliate courses and for some reason make the decision to join them. Desperation I guess because I have always despised anything to do with organized education. To restrictive if you know what I mean.

The second is one simple technique I learned at one of these affiliate schools that turned my beginners marketing career around and opened my mind to many other possibilities. I will explain that in just a second. If you find yourself to be one of the many beginners marketing with little to no results then I dedicate this article to you my friend. So here goes.

First you need to educate yourself, you need to invest in your knowledge of the basics. A good foundation is need for any and all beginners marketing to prepare for advanced growth later. I can't emphasize this fact enough. I recommend that you enroll in an affiliate school or university. There are several great ones out there. I know, you are worried about the cost, but can you afford to continue as you are? And I am going to tell you how I covered my cost and belong to not one but three affiliate schools for FREE!

The advantages that beginners marketing online gain from enrolling in an affiliate marketing university would take several of these articles to divulge so instead I am going to explain just one simple method I learned from one to see if I can dazzle you... LOL... not really, but this was a turning point for me.

Every Guru get rich quick scheme I read at some point depended on Goggle Adwords to make you rich and I am sure it is possible but not for marketing beginners with little money to invest. And almost all these self made millionaires tout the construction of websites and landing pages since they say direct linking is dead because Google doesn't allow affiliate links any more. Here is what they don't tell you because it won't make them any money.

You can promote any affiliate product without any website, landing pages, hosting expense and all the headaches associated with them and even use Google Adwords if you like using this Newbie Jump Start method....drumroll...LOL

Register a domain. One that uses the affiliate products name. For example: If promoting AffiliateUniversity.com you could register GetAffiliateUniversity.com, JoinAffiliateUniversity.com or even BuyAffiliateUnoversity.com. Understand? Then have that domain forwarded (this is free) to your affiliate link. Wala! Now 100% of your clicks will be directed to your affiliate products sales page.

Here is a little known fact. Most merchant's spend thousands on research, development and testing to get their sales pages to be high converting power houses. They also get all their visitors on their mailing list and if the visitor purchases later you still get your commission. Why you have the merchant doing all the work for you... will almost... but do you see the benefits to you when using this Newbie Jump Start method? This is not all the details and benefits using this method but it is the Readers Digest version so you can see the potential.

So if you are one of the beginners marketing under duress than please, seriously consider enrolling in an affiliate university and if you use the above technique on their affiliate program to get more members you can have your monthly enrollment covered by the third sale! See you there.
