Beginners Affiliate Marketing Free Blog Series

by David Osajie on April 2, 2010

Affiliate Marketer

I’m starting a free blog series here on DavidOsajie.com, on how to set up and run an affiliate website/business that makes money.

If you’re already an affiliate, but not making enough. Or perhaps you’re just trying to test the waters, I invite you to stick with me as we go through this step by step right here on this blog.

The purpose of this blog series is to make the whole process simple and fun. I could have just packaged this (I would in the future), and given it out for free download. But in my opinion it wouldn’t be as effective as working together, and asking questions. Besides you’d be more motivated when you see others taking part.

Here’s how I’m structuring this series:

1. Pick a Product to Promote.

2. Research Your Main Keyword.

3. Register a Domain Name And Get a Web host.

4. Install WordPress On Your Domain.

5. Search And Install a Suitable Theme For Your WordPress Site.

6. Install & Configure The WordPress Plugins Required.

7. Plan & create Your Site’s Contents.

8. Obtain And Cloak Your Affiliate Link.

9. Drive Traffic To Your New Site And Make Some Money.

10. Rinse And Repeat.

Immediately I finish with each post, I’ll come back here to link to it. So ensure you bookmark this page, better still subscribe to my RSS feeds to get notified of each new post.

By the end of this series, you will not only make your first affiliate sale (if you’re yet to make one), but you’ll become a super affiliate. Ok, I agree that’s stretching it too far, but at least you’ll start making a decent monthly income, and hopefully expand from there.

Requirements: What You Need To Successfully Follow Along:

1. First and foremost, you need a credit card for hosting and domain registration.

2. Get an internet connection, cyber cafe won’t help you one bit. But if you can manage, no problem. I just can’t work in a cyber cafe, especially in Nigeria.

3. You need a Clickbank account, and a means of receiving your affiliate cheques in Nigeria.

4. The rest is just the investment of your time, patience, hard work, and diligence.

I hope this series go smoothly like I plan, so everybody can make money and be happy.

First Lesson: Pick a Product to Promote.

Shina, adding links to your blogpost is quite simple, when composing your content, click on the link tab on the menu and input your affiliate url. Or if it’s an image banner, you can upload that and link to it.

Thank you very much for the swift reply and the solution

I was told by respected internet marketer that without getting
your tax number on clickbank, you cannot withdraw money from your click bank account. Is that saying true? If yes, how can i get my tax number?

Reply

David Osajie April 20, 2010 at 12:35 am

@Fred, it’s funny these respected internet marketers didn’t see it fit to explain to you how they went around theirs.

Somebody asked a similar question here, and I gave a simple solution to it. Just go through the post and the comments.

David,
I have tried somany things on the internet but with nothing encouraging for a future.The Aw survey you gave me when I paid for my paypal acct opening have not produced any decent income since they only give one survey of$1 every month. Will this affiliate marketing make a real change?
Please I will like to inform you that the IP changer you sent me that time, I did not experience any change or hide because I have tried to take some surveys but could not.
Please let me hear from you.

Great work Dav. But i will want you to rewrite on an article you’ve already published title “Blogger for newbies”. I think Blogger can be a steping stone for the newbies in affiliate marketing without investing much of naira, from there we can move to register domain.

Thank you.

You’re right, almost every newbie starts out with free blogs. I started with that.

My area of interest is on the list is from 7-9.I’ll most grateful if you can elaborate on that.
Finally, i want to know if the ip changer you recently advertised works on proxy settings like your-freedom.
THANKS

Of course I didn’t abandon it. I’ve just been tied down lately. Will get to it pretty soon, plus I’m thinking of doing some videos to simplify the whole process.

I actually planned on hosting a series on affiliate marketing right here on this blog, but I had to send this instead as a download to my readers. But I’ve seen that this isn’t effective one bit, people still need to be pushed to take action.

Here’s how to fund your payoneer.

Of course you need a website to do internet business. You can withdraw from Clickbank using Graphcard.
