5 Quick-Fire Newbie Affiliate Tips

and if you're a brand new affiliate.
you're early in the game like you know.
keep your day job.
stack that paper and be committed to the.
long haul.
so number one is get ready set aside.
some money and know that you're going to.
lose it testing.
to get your journey started in affiliate.
marketing in the early days i had a hard.
time like you know i didn't have a lot.
of money as.
driving cab and i was trying to get.
affiliate market popping every time i.
kept seeing losses it was like really.
stressing me out but.
once you hit a win and you start seeing.
that money flow in then you're kind of.
like okay i get it this works.
it takes almost like a gambler's mindset.
to get good at affiliate marketing.
because you need to be able to like go.
into those losses.
and understand mentally that you're.
going to get yourself out of that.
every time you see a loss your brain is.
trying to check you saying hey step out.
step out you're hitting your wrist.
tolerance once you start getting some.
wins under your belt or and you trust.
the process the money will come.
so have a risk tolerance set aside money.
and get mentally prepared that.
you will lose some money in the in the.
learning phase just as much as you spend.
to learn.
um it will all come back just as soon as.
you hit a winning campaign number two.
pick a source and uh and pick a an offer.
type.
and stick to that until you can have.
profitability if you push a certain type.
of offer.
there's little nuances that you need to.
know about the psychology of who's.
going into that offer why they sign up.
for these kind of things.
and so you know it's very different if.
you promote casino and then you go to.
dating and then you go to finance.
you don't or car insurance or whatever.
if you don't learn each of the nuances.
you'll just find yourself constantly.
bumping around and you won't be able to.
hit roi on any particular campaign.
number three i would say is like when.
you find a winning campaign.
don't get complacent don't be like oh.
man life is good.
everything's good i'm not gonna work.
hard if you hit a winning campaign.
you need to sleep by your desk work 16.
hours a day.
milk that thing for what it's worth and.
and take that money in the bank.
and set yourself up for the next round.
of testing in the next campaign because.
in affiliate marketing it is very often.
if ever.
it's never consistent so you know when.
you have a whale on your hand or a.
winning campaign.
you need to live breathe and die by that.
campaign and milk it for what it's worth.
and then once you got that money in the.
bank then you know you can ease up a.
little bit but don't.
ever like let opportunity run away from.
you because you know if you make 10.
grand and then you're chilling and you.
don't.
go hard at it that 10 grand could have.
been 100 grand or 200 grand so.
you're really shooting yourself in the.
foot if you've got a fish on the hook.
man you got to make the most of it.
what i do is i look at the fundamentals.
of why my competitor is doing well.
and then i add my own flavor my own.
twist my own copy my own angle.
and i just look at the marketing.
psychology of why is this working for.
somebody and then reverse engineer that.
you know my own funnel the last thing.
i'll say guys is when you're new you've.
got to kind of cut your teeth and.
run through networks and and run a.
certain way.
but as soon as you can and i wish that.
somebody had taught me this earlier is.
you got to find an edge.
and that edge is often relationships.
with advertisers relationship with.
networks.
but also the second part of that is.
finding an edge by being creative and.
unique.
and not just trying to rip everybody.
like you're gonna have a tough time.
getting profitable and scalable when.
you're all you're doing is just.
copycatting everybody else.
what you'll learn as you get into the.
affiliate game is like the more and more.
traffic you run you always need an edge.
the mistakes i made in the early days.
was just thinking that i could copycat.
somebody's campaign and make a bunch of.
money.
um sometimes you do like i'm not gonna.
lie like you know you sometimes rip a.
campaign and.
it's pretty fresh and it does work but.
what you'll find is anything that's like.
already kind of hit the spy tools or.
been out for a minute it's not going to.
give you good roi.
