New here. Anyway, I got some questions.

I'm 17 in a couple months, am I too young/illegal to start affiliate marketing? I'm from England.

Also, I got a ton of free time on my hands as I'm off college for a couple of months, how should I get started? Possible to link me to some tutorials?

Thanks.
 


Well, you'll need your parents credit card if you plan on engaging in any PPC campaign. Nickcakes has an excellent noob tutorial on his blog which can be found here.
 
Hmm, do I HAVE to engage in a PCC campaign to do this? Could I create a site and get traffic and any money I earn goes to my paypal or would I HAVE to have a credit card? I got a debit card and a verified paypal account.
 
As I'm 18 in like 14 months I think I'm just going to gather up a lot of information within the next year and make my site. When I'm 18 i'll join some affiliate networks. Now, my main priority is just thinking of what kind of site I'd like to make and doing it.

Just so you know, you won't find anyone (here at least) who will tell you what to make. You got to figure it out for yourself. Trial and error. But it isn't as hard as you might think. What do you see all over the net and TV or Radio now-a-days? Or what big thing is about to come up that you my be able to jump on?

Yeah I realise that man, I want to think about it for myself :). I gotta put in the hard work and I'm more than happy to do so. Basically I live in the busy part of London (Oxford street etc) and I walk around 7 miles through there and back everyday, so an idea may come to me through one of them walks.

Thanks.
 
If you are interested in football, create a blog for Premier League. Create a good blog and promote using SEO techniques. Of course you can use PPC to do this as so many networks accept Paypal. Start now so that by 18 you can produce decent traffic to your blog. You can then sell Premier League tickets, Replica shirts, travel ads etc. through your blog. Though you live in England you could think of creating a system to buy/sell football tickets on your website.

Quick bump. I've been reading a lot of guides and tutorials, trying to get in a lot of info. There's one thing I couldn't find though. As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to start affiliate marketing when I'm 18 (I've read about people under 18 getting in trouble with tax etc), and I also don't want to rush. Once I create my site (.com domain and hosted), is my main priority getting traffic on my site and advertising it, even though I'll have no ads on it. Apart from getting traffic on my site, what else would I need to focus on? Would any earnings at all be made from traffic etc? (I don't really care about earnings at this stage).

Sorry for the newb question but I tried finding this on the site, looked through the stickies but I couldn't find it. Thanks.
 
I started right before I turned 15 (2007 join date) Im 17 right now, basically what I did was buy a few domains, develop established sites, make revenue, put back into sites. Once you turn 18 you should have a nice bit of startup money not to mention an established site is good for long term revenue. Don't let age limit you.
 
Just start your site now, don't wait.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to begin and try to make my site soon (first time). Once it's been created, should I concentrate on getting more traffic, adverting it and working on my site, like putting a lot of info on it etc? Would I earn anything with no ads being on the site? (I think not, but just checking lol)

Cheers for the help

Yes all of those things... Don't paralyze yourself with a constant focus on gathering info, Just Do It..Nike style

You will learn best by doing
