I said a little about this in my interview with Yvette which can be found here: http://www.casinoaffiliateprograms.com/rewards-affiliates.php
Basically, the first and foremost thing I would suggest is for a newbie to do their research. Find a niche. Don’t just generalise…
Also, stick to one site when you start.. Don’t try to do 10 sites at once. It’s better to finish one site and get it going, than to not finish 10 sites.
Once the first is done, it will be much easier to start and finish the next one.
Last but not least, don’t give up. It can sometimes take up to a year to see your first paycheck. So don’t think that because you didn’t make any money in the first month, or two or three, that you’ve been unsuccessful… Treat it like your own business because that’s what it is… If you opened your own shop for example, you would have to work hard to get it started.. same thing goes here.
