Is New Year, 2007 the year you vowed to gain financial independence through internet marketing$%: Or is it the year you will again find excuses for procrastinating$%: You know the ones: I'm too busy at work, the kids take all my attention, I'm exausted when I get home at night, or maybe, possibly, the biggest one, FEAR! It's not uncommon. Some of us are so fearful of starting something new, we'd rather sit through a whole series of "Chucky" reruns.

Maybe you've been overwhelmed over how many promotional business choices there are in internet marketing. So maybe you should narrow your selection down to a manageble number, say one. By doing this you can concentrate on learning a specific phase of the promotional side of your business and adding to it later as you grow in confidence.

Let's look at affiliate marketing as your program of choice. This is a great online business to get started in. As you look around for information, you see there's a lot of different ways in which to approach it. There are a number of ways you can promote affiliate marketing thereby sending traffic to your site. Trying to learn, understand and use all these at one time can be daunting.

Affiliate marketing can be advanced through building email lists, using pay per click adwords, joining forums, developing yourself as an affiliate, or writing for articles submissions sites. If you tried to do all of these at one time, you can see how mind boggling it would be. If you were to start with just one you will not subject yourself to undo pressure. Let's examine these five choices:

• Building Email Lists building email lists is a great way to bring traffic to your affiliate product. There are however, a few learning steps that make it somewhat involved right from the start. You have to find ways to develop those lists. For instance, it is a good idea to have a squeeze page (a page to insert a form to retrieve a potential customers name and email address) If you have already built a web page, which you should have, then this involves another step. Building a list of at least a 1000 people (recommended) can take a long time.
• Using Pay Per Click Adwords Pay per click AdWords is the practice of using paid for keywords to advertise what it is you're trying to promote. Using pay per click AdWords requires learning a specialize skill in itself. Everyone will warn you to look out for this one if you don't know what you're doing. However if you master this method, and there are ways you can, you could find yourself in an enviable financial position in a relatively short period of time.
• Joining Forums There are many forums you can join and post to, and dialogue with others. By inserting your sig file in your posts, you can build a relationship with other members. This will help get your name out there and bring traffic to your site.. This can involve a lot of time and maybe not a lot of traffic. However, it can work as a nice supplement.
• Developing Yourself As An Affiliate This by far is the way to make the greatest amount of money, but it ain't easy! This requires developing your own product. Writing your own eBook is probably the fastest way to go. You will probably need a big list and some serious capital for advertising costs alone.
• Article Writing There are lots of articles submissions sites on the internet such as this one. They are free to subscribe too and can reward you with a vast amount of recognition. It is common for publishers and ezines to pick up these artcles and reprint them, thereby sending traffic to even more viewers. You are permitted links at the bottom of the article with which to connect to your website.

If you select affiliate marketing as your choice of where to start your business, you can pick one of the promotional plans above to begin drawing traffic. In this way you won't be trying to take on too much at once and can focus on developing your site in one step stages. In time as you feel more comfortable, you can decide on what your next phase of promotion will be.
