Putting The Building Blocks In Place
As I have already suggested, being a successful affiliate marketer is synonymous with being a successful business person.
And, as with any other business, in order to be a successful affiliate marketer you need to spend some money on your business. Now, I know that you will probably have read or seen many books and special reports that will tell you that you do not need to spend money to be an affiliate marketer.
That is absolutely correct. If you just want to be an affiliate marketer, like everyone else, then do not spend any money.
However, you already know that 19 out of every 20 affiliate marketers will fail, and by choosing not to spend any money you are giving yourself an awfully good chance of becoming one of the ones who never make it.
You must take this business extremely seriously, and accept that any serious business, online or in the real world, needs some investment in order to stand any chance of achieving success.
So, going right back to the stage of creating your business plan, you must build a sensible budget into that plan.
Of course, it does not make sense to spend a lot of money when you first launch your affiliate marketing career, but there are some basic requirements that you must put in place.
By the way, on the subject of budgets, once you do start seeing some earnings from your affiliate marketing efforts come through the door, you should allocate as high a percentage of those earnings as you can afford for reinvestment back into your business.
Do not fall into the trap of spending all your affiliate earnings without any reinvestment into the business as this will only guarantee that you never really move away from first base.
But, returning to your initial situation, the first two things that I would recommend you should spend a little money on is your own domain name and a web hosting account where the web pages that you build will be hosted.
You will then need to get yourself an autoresponder account, as this is perhaps the most critical tool that you need for building your own online business. Because of the importance, I would recommend that you consider using a paid option for your autoresponder account, although it is possible to set up a free account if money is a critical issue for you.
