Step-by-Step Process to be an Affiliate

October 19, 2009 by Shawn Collins

Q: Where is the money on the Web? I’ve got years without success, how can I make it happen? What can someone who would like to be your copycat do as a step-by-step process I can follow?

Shawn CollinsA: I am not going to encourage copycats, which is one of the reasons I don’t talk about all of my affiliate sites. I don’t see any upsides to assisting people in emulating my original work.

As far as where you can find the money, it’s not as easy as that. Trends are changing all the time, but I would encourage you to follow your passions and create a site or sites based on your interests, so your efforts will have staying power.

Successful affiliate efforts don’t happen overnight, and I’m sure you are too aware, since you say you’ve gone years without success.

That’s way too long, so you should scrap whatever you’ve been doing.

Start from scratch, focus on what you like, and put out a constant stream of original content. It’s vital to be patient, because it will take months, at a minimum, to get some momentum.
