Need Help to Take My First Step into Affiliate Marketing

Marketing
1

Hi All,

First of all I’d like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me. Who Am I, what I Do and most importantly why I am here?

Well my name is Nikhil and I’m 23yr old guy from India. After completing my graduation I did a diploma in web designing and letter I started my career as a web designer. But after 3-4 months I quit my job as neither I found it interesting nor I was very good at it (may be that’s the right reason, Sigh:p). In meanwhile I came to know about Internet Marketing and related stuff from one of my close friend like it’s an easy way to make lots of money and all. So i started reading and developing interest. Side by side i did a short term course on seo and internet marketing from a local institute. And yeah they provided me a placement in a small IT company. Now I’m working here from the past 5 months.

It’s a small IT company with only 4-5 employees. They provide products/software in the sphere of data recovery and email migrations. My role here is to promote and market their products over the internet. So i do all the SEO work for their sites. I’m also responsible for maintaining existing and sometimes designing their new websites due to my web-designer background. And guess what in spite of not being a professional content writer I do write content for their websites too. Here are the quick stats of the site I’m working:

(1)PDF Security Removal: Working on this site from the last there and a half month

Alexa Rank: 1,472,706
Page Rank: 2

(2)PDF Unlockers: Working on this from the last 3 months:

Alexa Rank: 1,740,218
Page Rank: 3

(3)Unlock a PDF: Working on this from last 3 weeks only

Alexa Rank: 5,495,289
Page Rank: N/A

All of these sites are showing in google SERPs and the traffic is converting into sales too. And for this what i get is Rs.8000 ( USD 151) . I’m not complaining as long as I’m learning something from it. But i have a life too, i want to do something on my own to earn. Now what I’m thinking is becoming a software affiliate by joining their affiliate programs. So that i can sell their software and earn commission. I’m gonna create some websites and promote their products the way i do it here.

Now i want to ask from you guys it it going to work or its just a part of my day-dreaming routine:(? I need your suggestions, advice about how to start it? Is it gonna work or not?

P.s: I don’t know whether it is the right place to ask or not? But moderators please remind me in case if you’re going to delete it so that I can move to appropriate thread.

Regards
Nick:slight_smile:

It will work if you make it!

You have already had some success so you should be able to replicate it right?! After all there is only one way to find out if it will work for you and that’s to give it a go. As the old saying goes:

“You’re better off regretting something you did do, rather than something you didn’t…”

Good luck

The reason why you got no replies is that you don’t have a plan yet. I empathize with your situation. It looks as if you have more time than capital so focus on your strengths.

Stick with something that you are familiar with in order to develop a website. Spend some time writing content where you can place some ads, and do some SEO work to support it. One thing that I would encourage is that you spend time on your spelling and grammar when writing the content. Your post has some noticeable errors that might discourage networks from adding your website if they are in your content.

Good luck
