When you place your first website - you have to admit that he is very green to the ways of the Internet world. Do you think that once your website is, and you have put your links in place, you will be in the money. I, and I'm sure many would love that's true. Just think how many super affiliates would have. I'll give you a taste of what to expect really.

The Beginning of the Start

That was exciting at first, and you have a sense of pride in their accomplishment. Okay, no small feat to get a web site and online. But this is only the beginning of their experience in internet marketing.

Once you have your website, you must be wondering - where do I begin, or what should I do now? If you are short of money, which, in most cases people are initially - you can start by:

1. Writing Articles
2. Optimizing your site for search engines
3. Putting Adsense on your site

All this takes time and work. However, at the beginning, you have time to optimize, to write articles, and to put AdSense ads on your site. Why? It has been said that over the next six months or nine months, Google and possibly other search engines, may put the litter box. Some say the Sandbox exists, some say no. Whatever it is called, you will see a degree of latency on your site.

My thinking is that there may be a pre-set time of six months before seeing an increase in unique clicks - I know I did. I think it may be several reasons for this:

1. It's a great way to protect the Internet community against unscrupulous sites - I figure that these sites have a lifespan of six months before people give them the boot. It only takes one person to feel the attenuation of a scam, before talk in the online forums begins.
2. Websites go up and down every day. Search engines are looking to save themselves time and money. If you are still on the line after six months or nine months, you are paying your debts, and that may appear you are serious about maintaining a business online.

What should I do during that period of six months or nine

First, and above all - I have already provided this information - do not get frustrated and give up. Of course, at first only the clicks you can view your account, but that will change.

Second, start position, so when your dormancy with the search engines ends, you have quality content and quality products to start flying. That means, writing articles, getting your name to the masses, and learn to use Adsense.
And when you have spare change, try your hand at advertising on Adwords.

At the beginning of your learning curve is just outside the door - take this time to read, buy appropriate books, experimentation and research. All are important to move the learning curve of the expert level.

To conclude, a website is just a small part, but an important part of becoming an affiliate marketer. The most important elements, is persistence, hard work, and marketing. And finally, if you still have the passion after the initial euphoria of becoming an online entrepreneur vanishes - then you need to do.
