  3. Hey, just wanted to say you’ve put together some great articles for affiliate marketing newbies, but also some interesting ideas for the more advanced ones in the business. I especially like your ideas for making money while you’re building your online business, such as getting paid for writing online reviews. But even the idea of doing a dog-walking business as a side hustle is great!

  4. The affiliate market is a wide on here competitions are out, but we all need to understand it’s not a matter of how others are growing but how well your are growing on your own. Making money in the affiliate market involves having a proper blog page where one can share his affiliate link so people can purchase stuffs for themselves. However having a link isn’t mist important but having a proper niche to help. For me that’s the best way to making money online. A really nice post you have here, I look forward to seeing more of your post.

  5. Hi, there, Michael. I appreciate your in depth explanation and other aspects of affiliate marketing. This will definitely help a lot of people, including myself, to learn about the nitty gritty of this platform. There are still many individuals who have no clue how to start and where to start this online business. I’m a newbie so I’m still in the process of gathering substantial information to succeed in affiliate marketing. Right now it’s my sideline cause I’m still keeping my full-time job as a teacher. I was hoping that I could come up with a great result in the future since I’m still trying to increase my ranking page. Thank you for sharing this with us. Have a nice day!

  8. Hello, Michael, I should agree this is a great job you are doing here teaching people how to build online businesses are small they need to know about it. Robert Kiyosaki once said the greatest investment you can ever make is not real estate or commodities or anything like that, the greatest investment is when you invest in yourself through knowledge. When I got to that I knew I had to take the 19$ training and see how it works by learning to be an affiliate marketer. I wish you all the best mate and may your hard work and love for help to pay out in the end.

  11. Hi, Michael. What a great website! You give fantastic tips on how to build an online business. I would really like to give up my 9 -5 job and work from home. I feel overwhelmed though, and quite frankly terrified. How and where do I start? I have never built a website before, would this be a problem? Could you let me know what I would be getting for $19?

    I really look forward to hearing from you.

  13. Hi, I like what you are promoting here. The freedom lifestyle of working from home is no longer just a dream. Anyone can have it. The tools and resources are better today than people realize.

    The internet has made it easier than ever to work from home. You still have to work hard and all that stuff, however, today is the best time in history to be an entrepreneur.

  15. One of the wonders in life is being able to control your own fate and destiny, but choosing the type of work you like.

    Affiliate marketing is a tool anyone can use to create a business online. Besides helping people to solve their life issues, what is best is that we are also getting paid a commission.

    That being said, it is still important to choose a platform that guides us properly on the steps to go about creating a strong business online. I do agree with you that Wealthy Affiliate platform is a great place to start started.

If your newsletter is newbie friendly, I’d be eager to join. I know that launching our own business had never been easy. But I also know we need guidance to get started.

  23. It is an awesome site offering various practical ideas for earning money.

    The question I always have asked myself ” how do I stand out among the crowds?”.

    It is not easy to get on page 1 of Google with this fiercely competitive world trying to walk on top of you.

    It might be easy to make money but it is not enough to get by and quit your job.

  24. Hi, Michael; Attending an online class or webinar is cool, Everybody should be eager to learn something new regardless of their age. For example, If more people had learned about computer practice and the Internet, fewer people would have fallen victim to Cybercrime.

    There would be more successful Affiliate marketers around the world who have money to support their grandchildren to take a vacation and live a more stressless lifestyle.

    I do agree that people should have a purpose for which they study. If one studies too much without a purpose it will cause him to be miserable as there will be no one to converse with on his level.

    Do you believe everyone can study from an online course?

  25. Michael I wish I would have stumbled across your website when I started affiliate marketing.

  26. Hello. You really got me with this information. My friends and I discuss everyday about how to make money online. Always our discussion turns into skeptical conclusions because some of them have families. Can be this an obstacle?

But in saying that, learning is key even for the most experienced especially since the internet is forever evolving.

    Reply

    • Hi, Jay,

      Blogging is meant for a certain space of people and unless you know that, it’s unlikely that you will ever make money in that space. Computers was invented and what happened was people followed suit. Unless you have something to contribute then you won’t find any ‘real’ success online. I mean people aren’t stupid they won’t just read anyones site…

I am trying to establish my site. Will you please give me some suggestions?

    Reply

    • Hi, Aysha, thank you for your questions and the fact that you choose Affiliate Training Now to get help. I will surely tell you what you need to hear now.

      Affiliate Marketing is choosing one product and then writes a post or review on it. Even WA, they have links that you can add to your post. If you want to use a link from Amazon then you will make money through commissions with them.

      Just set up your website and choose a niche, whether you want to make a Niche like mine or a product niche for eBay and Amazon. You will need to decide on that.

      Just get your site built, so that you start to grow for your site’s keyword.

      If you need anything else just pop back, I look forward to helping you again.

      Sincerely,

      Michael V.

  37. I have found your website on affiliate marketing to be very helpful and your honesty and attention to detail is greatly appreciated. I was hoping you could help me with an issue I am not very clear on. On my new niche affiliate website I need to add those affiliate disclaimers and the cookie policy “accept” thingy. Do you know what would be the easiest way to do this on WordPress? Thanks I really appreciate your help.

    Reply

    • Hey Julz, and thanks for your question. Yes, I do know how! For your disclaimer just find somewhere on your site where it can go. Once that’s done, you’ll then need to figure out what you want it to say. Many websites say all different things.

      I haven’t needed to add a Cooky Policy yet because I’m doing SEO, which is free traffic from Google.

      But this is what my disclaimer says:

      Disclaimer: All of our reviews and recommendations are completely impartial but some posts may include affiliate links that can earn us a commission.

      If you know how to interlink just add it. If you sign up to WA through one of my links I will be your coach and Ill be able to show you more through video intent, and in depth affiliate training which will be of serious benefit to you.

      Let me know how you go with your links and whether you get the Cooky Policy installed, ok?

It is a no brainer for anyone wanting to do affiliate marketing to get on board with Wealthy Affiliate.  There is so much value in the training and it is all presented in an easy to follow way. Right now with the Black Friday deal is a great time to get started. 

    Can you tell me please?  Are you able to keep up with all the work in Wealthy Affiliate as there seems to be so much content to work through and how much time do you put in each day?

    Looking forward to your answer.

    • Hi, Judy and thanks for your questions. Due to the workload in WA it isn’t hard to finish. Once your site is up and running the other lessons can just be marked off as you go. The main importance (although they are all important) is getting your site SEO built out and your content indexing in Google. That way you can then focus on content creation.

      Thanks again,

  41. I have to say I find your AffiliateTrainingnow.com website very attractive. It is clean, the sections are neatly arranged and the navigation is smooth. I tried it out and was able to access every section of the website seamlessly.
    I am particularly drawn by your range of posts that provide education for would-be entrepreneurs. They seem to answer every probing question the newbie Internet marketer would want answered before embarking on the journey. That will build trust between you and your readers and encourage conversion.
    I notice you were silent on the Wealthy Affiliate $349 yearly payment. You seemed to emphasize the $19 initial payment and the $49 monthly payment. Are you afraid it could be a turn off for a would-be affiliate marketer? The savings are massive and could be attractive to a newbie.

    Reply

    • Hi Dada, thank you for your comments. Indeed the yearly payment is has been silenced but not due to silence. It can be found upon entering the structure and if you feel the training is necessary then that option is definitely there.

  44. Hi, Michael, you seem like someone who knows a lot about affiliate marketing that is something that I’ve recently discovered. I am very excited to start making money using this business model, the benefits you mentioned such as being able to never have to work a regular job again really appeals to me.

    However, I have heard that this is a very slow way to make money online, it could take a year or more for profits to really show. Do you have any tips on how to speed things up? Is it possible to make $1000 a month in 3 months time?

    Reply

    • Hi, Son, No it only takes a few months but this is on course with right keyword selections. If you build a website and choose good keywords you will make money straight away. Have you got money that you can spend?

  46. The first time I heard about passive income was when I read the famous Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad. This was a game changer for me – as I have grown up in a poor dad’s family alike. The thing that scares me most is the demographic structure. It is obvious that we must save for our retirements, but not all people do so. Moreover, saving is not the best option – generating passive income is much better.
