Just Dive In

Unlike many endeavors, affiliate marketing often rewards those who simply leap in, especially when starting out. Yes, indeed, there are many, many things you don’t know. Tons of things. You’re a virtual babe in the affiliate marketing world, pink-skinned and ignorant.

But don’t let those facts reduce you to inaction. Don’t sit around and say “Yeah, I’d like to do that affiliate stuff but I need to do more research first, and I need to find the perfect market and domain name, and build a snazzy, well-designed website, and and and…”

Bullshit. Just dive in. Trust me on this one. It’ll make more sense when we’re farther down the road, but there are many reasons why it’s best to simply leap in at first, with the knowledge that you’ll be tweaking, optimizing, and adding content as time goes by.

Regardless of what affiliate market you end up targeting, your success is almost always going to hinge on getting “good” search engine traffic. The sooner you get content out there, the faster you see returns. That means you need to get started. Now. Today. Not next week when you have all of your ducks in a row. Now.
