How many step by step affiliate marketing plans do you really need? The answer to that question is easy. You only need one. It just has to be the one that you apply, test, modify, re apply, modify again, and retest, until you have gotten it working successfully.
There are many step by step plans available if you search for them. There are plans for article marketing, pay per click marketing, email marketing, and probably dozens of other approaches. There are plans you pay for and plans you can find for free.
But how do you know which of the step by step plans really work?
Remember what I said about only needing one step by step affiliate marketing plan?
1. *Pick a plan*, any plan.
2. *Take action with each step* of that plan.
3. As you take each step *evaluate the effect of each of those actions*
4. If the effect is positive *do more of that*
5. If the effect is negative *stop that approach to that step* and
6. *Try a different way* for that step
Repeat 3 through 6 until you can answer Yes to the following question:
Have I given this plan every effort I possibly can to make it work for me?
If you can answer Yes to that question, but you are not making money online by following that step by step affiliate marketing plan, have someone you trust review the steps you followed and ask for feedback. It s easy to find someone who is willing to give you this kind of feedback by joining a membership site for affiliate marketers, whether a free site or a paid site.
Because you have already tried something and have evaluated each action you took, you will be able to ask very specific questions. When you do that in the affiliate marketing forums like those at Warrior Forum, Digital Point, Internet Marketing Center or Wealthy Affiliate, you are much more likely to get helpful advice.
Now, what are some of the things that have to be covered in a step by step affiliate marketing plan?
What is my niche market?
What is the biggest need, problem or desire of people in this niche market area?
Are people in this niche market searching for a solution online?
How often do they search for it?
What words do they use when they search for it?
What products could fill that need or desire or solve that problem?
What affiliate programs are there for hose products?
How do I sign up for the affiliate programs I choose?
How do I create some type of website to presell visitors on the idea
that the product I am promoting is a good solution that will help
them?
How do I get people who want or need that solution to find and go to my
particular website?
How do I track the flow of visitors to my site so I know if it is
increasing or not?
How do I convince people who find my website to choose to buy the
product I am promoting?
How do I systematically test different approaches to getting traffic to
my site and getting site visitors to buy what I am promoting?
Those are just a few of the key questions that have to be answered.
