How To Find The Best Affiliate Marketing Training

How To Find The Best Affiliate Marketing Training

There are SO MANY training programs out there all promising to make you rich online with as little effort as possible. Well, first of all, a good program will never promise you overnight success or millions of dollars. The fact is that it takes an average of 18 months to 2 years to build a successful affiliate marketing company online, and though there are some extreme examples where people make millions of dollars a year, most successful affiliate marketers earn a comfortable living. I highly recommend you check out the following two articles:

• How To Avoid Affiliate Marketing Scams
• How Long It REALLY Takes To Make Money Online

Those two articles will help you to avoid the common affiliate marketing scams and will also give you a more realistic expectation as to how soon you will be earning revenue, assuming you do everything right.

So, a program that promises you anything outrageous should send you immediate red flags. Secondly, the best affiliate marketing training programs offer comprehensive support. Most people starting out in affiliate marketing do not have any formal training in web design, sales and marketing, and content creation. A good program will support you from beginning to end with lots of instructional classes and videos and expert technical support to help you fully understand the business.

And finally, before signing up for any type of affiliate marketer training program, ask yourself, “does this REALLY make sense?” For example, if someone is selling you an $8 e-book and that e-book is supposed to show you how to create websites that earn $10k per month on autopilot, do you really think that makes sense? If you figured out how to create “auto-pilot” websites that earn $10k per month would you give away your secrets to everyone in a measly $8 e-book? Of course not! You’d be spending your time building as many of those auto-pilot websites you could and become a billionaire!

On the flip side, don’t trust the super expensive “mentoring” programs, either. Some so-called “guru’s” will charge hundreds, thousands, or even 10’s of thousands of dollars as a way to seem more legitimate. “I won’t give away my secrets for $8, but if you pay me $10k and come to this inner-circle retreat I will!”

Hogwash. There are no shortcuts and really, with affiliate marketing, there aren’t any secrets, either. Real affiliate marketing takes hard work, so before joining any type of training program, keep this in mind. Affiliate marketing is NOT a get-rich-quick industry, so don’t believe it.
