So, I’ve heard from some of you who obtained the Newbie Campus program, and you’re almost all asking the same question… “Now what?”

Please don’t take offense when I say that one week is definitely not enough time to to complete Newbie Campus and implement all you have learned. Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme (even though some programs would want you to think it is), and any techniques you use take a bit of time to generate traffic and results. And those of you who have already seen some sales, congratulations! That’s awesome!

Now just because you’ve gotten your feet wet, applied some successful techniques and obtained some favorable results, it does not mean that you need to run out and get the next great money-making scheme and put that to work! In fact, that’s probably the most costly mistake that new affiliate marketers make — trying one program after another, without fully committing enough time and effort to be profitable at anything. There’s a saying that you may see if you hang out on any affiliate marketing forums, “Lather, rinse, and repeat.” (Yes, they blatantly stole it from your favorite shampoo bottle!) But what they mean is, if you’ve found something that works for you, do it again!

Choose a different product to promote, select a different advertising method, research a few new keywords, and duplicate your initial success. By doing that, you will have your first campaign working for you while you start up something new and increase your daily/weekly/monthly earnings. When you’re learning something new, doing it for the first time is always the most time-consuming, demanding part. Once you’ve completed it, you will expend much less time and energy doing it again, and you will also become better at it!

So, once you’ve found some affiliate marketing success, be sure to “lather, rinse, and repeat” before moving on to something new!
