When I was a new affiliate marketer, I made a lot of mistakes that set me back on my journey to being an online entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promised myself that one day when my platform is big enough, I would make sure that I help as many people as I can to avoid the mistakes that I made.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is that day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing hurts me more than seeing another online entrepreneur make the exact same mistakes that I did and knowing what kind of an impact it can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in this article, I am going to share with you 3 major mistakes that I made as an affiliate marketer and how to avoid them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Truth About Picking A Niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into the mistakes to avoid, there is one essential topic that we cannot brush over: Niches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People will tell you that picking a niche is going to be the most important part of your journey.<\/strong> This is actually very true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they also say that some niches are terrible and you won’t make any money from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is where I disagree.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all niches are created equal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, you can still make money from these niches. <\/strong>The only difference is you need to manage your expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain niches make more money than others and some are more scalable than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to make $100,000 a month talking about goldfish, you may have a hard time. That being said, you could maybe make $500-$1,000 a month if you play your cards right<\/strong> in that niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So make sure you do some market research and look at the numbers that you can expect to see from the niche that you are picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will save you a lot of disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Not Doing Enough Keyword and Market Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As newbies in the affiliate world, you are almost conditioned to believe that all you need to do is get a link, share it, and then start making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, there is a whole setup behind the scenes<\/a> that the gurus forget to tell us. Without this setup, there is a very slim chance to become successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest mistakes I made was going into an affiliate marketing platform without doing enough keyword and market research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some key aspects the beginners tend to miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
