The Absolute " No B.S " Way To Start Your Affiliate Marketing Journey 

Affiliate Marketing is really all about personal preferences, your own strengths and weaknesses, your patience, and your financial goals.

It may not sound like the sexiest criteria to being a successful marketer, but it is the truth. If you're brand new to this "make money online" business, article writing may be the easiest route to start off.

Article marketing is also the "slowest" way to get there. You see, there's a rule of thumb in ANY business you get into:

"The more money you spend, the faster the results will be but the riskier it becomes if it doesn't go as planned. The LESS money you spend, the slower the results will be, but the less risky it is on your wallet." Then there are the affiliate- marketing strategies that are a little bit of both.

When you have a good idea of "how" you want to tackle your marketing business, it is time to think about your personal strengths and weaknesses.

What are you good at, and what are you not? What past experiences can you tap into that will help you run your online business? Do you have past business experience? Do you have past sales training? Are you a natural people person? And so on.

After figuring that out the next thing you want to look at is your tolerance level and financial goals. Normally, the two go hand-in-hand. The bigger your financial goals, the less tolerant you are with slow marketing methods like blogging or social networking.

Patience is required no matter what way you market your affiliate business, but the way you choose to market your business (Solo Ads vs. Blogging) determines how fast you reach your goals.

If you need further instructions, pick up an affiliate marketing guide you believe you will benefit you the most.

When it all comes down to the wire, you need to stick with one marketing strategy that will give "you" the unfair advantage to succeed.

I know how tempting it is to find one method, do it, and jump to the next with the promise of faster money around the corner. Nothing wrong with that, but when it gets out of control you accomplish nothing.

If you want to do article marketing, stick with it until you make a certain amount of passive income. If you want to do blogging, stick with that until you make a certain income with that. If you like PPC marketing, stick with that until you succeed -- and so on.
