Learning Affiliate Marketing - Practical advice and tips for those looking to learn Affiliate Marketing
OK, First things first - Affiliate Marketing is easy. Yes, you'll have to put a lot of hard work in, but there's no "secret" or "magic formula". But you can learn affiliate marketing all by yourself with needing any ebooks or paying out for any courses. I will tell you everything you need to teach yourself Affiliate Marketing in the next two paragraphs..
First of all, you need a website. Get yourself some
cheap hosting and your own domain name - Don't go for free hosting or free domains as they just look unprofessional. Then you'll need to get some affiliate links to go on your site - Sign up with the main UK networks such as
Affiliate Window,
Affiliate Future and
Paid on Results (There's a full list of all the UK networks in the main menu to the right), and start putting
relevant links on your site.
Once you've got your site live with some affiliate links on, then it's time to start experimenting and researching what works best - To speed up this process and help you learn Affiliate Marketing quicker, pop over to some Affiliate forums like
Affiliates4u or
Abestweb, and read, read, read. There's tons of information there - More than enough for those learning Affiliate Marketing. And if you're still hungry for more, then there's hundreds of articles right here on Lammo to help you. Just use the search button in the Right Hand menu to find what you're looking for.

Pinch, Punch. first of the Month - No returns! Yes, it’s the first of July today, the sun is shining, and that can mean only one thing - it’s time to start planning for Christmas! Of course, some people have already been working on their Christmas sites for a couple of months, but for me July is when it all starts to happen. If you don’t plan your Christmas strategy until the nights are drawing in and the days are getting colder and darker, then you could be missing out on a huge amount of sales.
It can be really hard knucking down and thinking about Christmas when it seems that Summer is only just starting to…

A couple of times a week, someone will pop up on an Affiliate Marketing forum with the immortal words “I’ve just read Mr X’s ebook on ‘How I make a Trillion Dollars a Day from Affiliate Marketing’ and I’m more confused than ever” That same person will then usually ask for advice, have another twenty questions and finally give up as it all sounds too hard. Some voice of reason will then pop up with the poser “If you’d spent all this time trying stuff out rather than asking twenty questions, then you’d have your answers, and more than likely a few quid in your pocket too.”
I’ve…

6th September will always be an Important day for me, for it was six years ago today, 6th September 2001 that I handed my notice in at the last “proper” job I will ever have, and decided to concentrate on being a full-time affiliate.
Many part-time affiliates consider taking the plunge and going full-time but it can be very scary giving up the security of a pay-cheque to go it alone. So I thought I’d share my experiences of giving up the day job to help those currently considering it plan what could potentially be the best move they ever made. Plus I’d better write it all down while I still remember it - I am turning 30 in a few weeks, and I’ve heard the memory is the first to…
