The second affiliate marketing mistakes that many newbies make is:
Joining Too Many Affiliate Programs
If you want to make a lot of money with affiliate marketing then you have to promote multiple affiliate products. However one of the biggest mistakes that newbies do is joining multiple affiliate programs!
Huh? I know that this sounds strange, but let me explain.
Having multiple sources of income is a great way to make a lot of money. All super affiliates that are making thousands of dollars every month are promoting many different products by using different methods and strategies. They are joining and promoting hundreds of different affiliate products and get different affiliate cheques every month.
However if you just started affiliate marketing or made a few affiliate commissions online I would advice you not to join several affiliate programs.
Joining and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them. What most newbies do is start promoting a product and before making a sale they start promoting a second product, a third, a forth and so on. They spend months and months trying to promote all that great affiliate products they have found. They dream of all the huge commissions they will earn. But after a couple of months they haven’t earn any money.
Does this sound familiar?
The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the income generated will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would.
The best way to get excellent result is by joining just one program. Then give it your best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is making a profit, it is time to join another affiliate program.
The correct method is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real bright.

Hi Andreas,
I’ve just started reading your blog and I truly wish I had found you sooner. I think I am guilty of every single one of your affiliate marketing mistakes and more!!
There is so much information out there and it is very easy to get sucked into the latest, *must have* system because they always sound so good to someone new.
Slowly but surely, I am learning to sort the wheat from the chaff and am really grateful to marketers such as yourself who are willing to share so many secrets for free.
Thanks so much.
Nikki

Hmm, whilst I agree In principle to what your saying. You also, have to remember that YOU decide to become an affiliate because you DONT have a product to sell. Yes, grabbing an email as you send them off to a list is good practice but there is other ways to get the email as well, like offering a bonus to the product etc.
So, it all depends on how far along you are as a marketer.
Nice read..And good luck!
Hey Andreas. It is good thing I stopped upon this just in time. You are actually my savior on this since I haven’t started my blogs yet. I think I would have been guilty of every single one of your affiliate marketing mistakes and more, no doubt on that! Thanks God you dropped up this and thanks for that. You are going to be my help so far, keep up!

Hey Luicer!
Thank you for your good words. I am just trying to do my best by helping others.
Yes having your own blog is important when doing affiliate marketing (in any niche). I would highly recommend you to start your own blog ASAP and also build a list of subscribers.
Dont feel bad for the mistakes. ALL successful and unsuccessful marketing are failing all the time. The trick is to learn from your or mine mistakes and just keep it going. Nothing is perfect and we will always make mistakes. We just have to reduce them as more as we can so that we can find success faster.
Let me know for any problems you are facing in affiliate marketing or anything related in internet marketing and I would love to help you. You can contact me personally here: http://www.andreasspyrou.com/support
