What advice would you give a person just starting out in affiliate marketing?

The one advice you must follow to succeed is to be patient.

Ask yourself, if some random person you knew nothing about started to push a product on you, would you buy it?

Most people would answer that “no”.

And the reason for that is that there’s no trust built yet between “some random person” and you.

In affiliate marketing you hear a magic word a lot, “Authority”.

Once you gain authority, the road to making sales is paved for you.

There are a few ways to get authority, all of which take time. There are no shortcuts here.

You have to know in advance that it’ll take time to make sales, and to decide in advance that you’re just going to continue.

See it, if you want, as an investment. You’re putting a lot of work and time into it now to build up your authority, and once you’ve gained it you’ll start reaping the rewards.

I keep banging on about this in my posts but it’s true. The number one reason for beginners to stop affiliate marketing before they ever made money doing it, is that they lost patience.

Don’t be sold on Quick & Easy, it does not exist. Definitely not in affiliate marketing. Put in the work, day in day out, and in time you’ll see the results.

Hope that helps

Jon
