Affiliate marketing is becoming a larger and larger topic recently, but very few actually succeed at it. Why is this? It is because they are naive (not meaning to insult), and do not understand that it actually takes work to promote products as an affiliate. How can they get the information they need to become successful at affiliate marketing? The two guys that I believe are some of the best at teaching affiliate marketing are: well, we'll get there in a minute. First of all, what are the biggest mistakes affiliates make that make them unsuccessful? One of the biggest mistakes is that the affiliate simply sets up a website, puts their affiliate link on it, and then assumes people will find their site and they will become rich. This is definitely not the case, and when affiliates do not realize this they just give up for lack of results. This does not require any special product to fix. Someone just needs to inform the affiliate that they have to actually promote their website or nothing will happen. The second biggest mistake is that affiliates promote their products through PPC when they have no idea what they are doing and they lose all of their money and go broke. They then conclude that affiliate marketing is impossible and they give up. This is something that will take some learning to rectify. If you can unlock the secrets of becoming successful with Google Adwords and similar programs, then you can actually become a very successful at affiliate marketing. But where can you learn these secrets to success through PPC? Well, the two guys I learned from and would recommend everyone else learn from is Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey. They have developed an amazing program called Commission Blueprint. This is a blueprint for successful PPC marketing. It includes videos, review page templates, and pdf's describing creating powerful opt-in pages, presell pages and review pages. You also get access to their forum where you can discuss you PPC efforts with other like-minded individuals and further enhance your knowledge. Commission Blueprint will take you from total newbie to superaffilliate in no time whatsoever. Even if you haven't made a penny from PPC advertising, they will teach you exactly how you can make hundreds, thousands, even millions from PPC advertising. Anyone can succeed just as long as they have the proper training and the willingness to work hard and ignore all the garbage they have been told by everyone else. Commission Blueprint is that training, the willingness to work hard is up to you. (Don't worry, as you go along it gets easier and easier). For a full review of Commission Blueprint Visit: http://www.top5-workathome.com/commissionblueprint You can try to figure it out on your own, but it will probably cost you a lot of money before you figure out how to succeed with PPC advertising. Make the initial investment and maybe in a while you'll be one like Tim and Steve, teaching others how to succeed. How would that feel? To Your Success, Shawn Horwood
