Affiliate marketing = frustrating
Failure kind of sucks though.
Wow, affiliate marketing can be really frustrating. It build you up just to break you down. In this case I really hope the old addage is true that what doesn’t kill you only make you stronger.
I have started putting to work what I have learned studying the PPC Formula. Well, it is very apparent I have a lot to learn. My first real campaign was started yesterday. It started out well and then just crashed. Things like this could really get a guy down if you let it.
So after I got done feeling like a total idiot I decided to think about what went wrong. Here is what I came up with came up with after pondering my failures for a bit:
- Though the offer was decent the landing page totally sucked. I should have taken more time and analyzed more offers.
- I bid too much on keywords. Not much more to say on this one.
- More time should have been put into monitoring and tracking the campaign.
On one hand it sucks to fail. On the other it is something I can live with if I learn from my mistakes. I am going to study some more and then get back to it. It is going to take a lot more than a little lost money to make me quit. I want to be a successful affiliate marketer too bad to do that.
With that said I would really like to find someone to mentor me.

As much as I want to, I haven’t really capitalized on the opportunity presented by affiliate programs. I just can decide which one to start with. I did register with Market Leverage but alas, was rejected.
