Learning Affiliate Marketing

I joined Wealthy Affiliate and have been learning to sell online. I have tried selling online as an affiliate in the past. In fact, I joined wealthy affiliate once before and quit because I didn’t take action and didn’t see results in a month or two. Since then, their site has improved greatly. The help that you receive in your site creation is immense. I’m enjoying checking off the tasks in their affiliate bootcamp.

However, learning a new skill involves a lot of work, discipline and at times frustration. I would be lying if I didn’t say that right now, I’m pretty frustrated. Today, I learned that Google doesn’t like to see a website that is chock full of affiliate links. Oops! I put a link on every page! Argh. This is easily corrected and just part of the learning process. My biggest strength lies in creating content, so it is frustrating to have to take time away from that task to update links, but links are how affiliates earn money. Also, if the search engines are going to rank me lower for now having the links correct, that is a very important thing to know!

I am grateful that within wealthy affiliate people are sharing their real results. It does take some time to get up and running and get a site ranked in Google. It is frustrating to see that you have very little traffic at the beginning. It is frustrating to keep producing content without seeing results in terms of being paid.

However, the community is very lively and helpful. Within wealthy affiliate, you have the ability to give other people feedback on their websites and ask for comments on yours. Sharing your own knowledge helps you to reinforce the knowledge that you have learned from the wealthy affiliate bootcamp course.

While today was a day of frustration, I’m still excited about what is in store for me as I work through the Affiliate Bootcamp course. If I were left up to my own devices, I would just keep writing and ignore some of these little things that will help me get ranked and have my website actually found by people interested in internet marketing and learning how to sell online. It truly is a great way to learn and grow!
