Okay, so I’ve started with the affiliate program for internet profits. After about two day’s worth of learning all about affiliate marketing I’m now a certified partner with my official certification and everything.
The next step is to get an opt-in started. In affiliate marketing this is a simple website that directs potential leads to enter their information, in my case email and name, which is added to an email list in return for value. In this case the value I’m offering them is Making Money Online – Avoiding the Pitfalls. The software I’m using to set this up is BuilderAll. Since I used the Quick Start Challenge this software is familiar to me. BuilderAll also includes MailingBoss software which will help set up mailing campaigns. My opt-in website is setup and ready to add leads to my email list.
Overall I see these first steps as a relatively positive experience. Dean Holland talks about issues to moving forward especially as fears. The fear: what if it doesn’t work? The fear: What if it works? These must be something facing all new business starters or affiliate marketers and I’m glad that he mentioned them. Now, when I feel that uncomfortable feeling welling up to ward me away from my laptop I can just simply name it: Fear of Failure, Fear of Success, or whatever it my be and move on.
Sincerely,
Jon James
