The time has come to step up, be a man and start my first ppc campaign. Hopefully I will not loose ALL the money; hopefully I will get some conversions and earn some of the money back; if not, at least I will gain some experience in this field and I will read more, learn more and try again. One important thing: don’t use moneys you can’t afford to lose (moneys to pay the bills or groceries moneys). Use your spare money and remember to set up a budget. And don’t be disappointed if you will loose some money at the beginning. Dust yourself off and try again

What to read?

I want to share with you all the free tips, e-books, articles that I’ve found on the net and read. I consider that all the basics and more are covered here and that’s all the knowledge you need in order to get started, everything for free of course.

I will start with High Performance Affiliate Marketing - a free 149 pages long e-book about affiliate marketing. This one it’s must read. It teaches you step by step what you should do to become a successful affiliate. It goes from affiliate marketing, to finding profitable affiliate opportunities, from keyword selection to building a website that sells, from seo to link building. Trust me, all you are looking for in getting started in the affiliate marketing world is here.

Another place you should check out daily and read its Googlelady and her free e-book The Adwords Quality Guide. Her site is full of affiliate marketing tip, tricks and real-life stories from an affiliate point of view. You will learn a lot by reading her posts.

What forums should you be a part of? 

Well, the first forum you should definitely be a part of is Digital Point (this is actually the only forum I am currently a part off because it offered me all I needed). You will find a lot of experience people there that will give you good advice, a lot of resources and news about seo, social media, and latest affiliate program.
Another forum I’ve just joined is SEO Chat. You will find there search engine strategies, pay per click search engines, optimization tips and a lot more information useful for an affiliate marketer. 

Hope I helped you a little. Remember, read, learn and practice.
