Any advice for a newbie?

**Mattbar** · 27 July 2015, 10:12 am

Hello GPWA

I'm very new to this industry, I've got a couple of sites in development and in time I would love some specific advice about them.

In the mean time does anyone have any generic advice for a newbie entering this world?

Cheers

I know this guy in the real world btw (he's actually sitting next to me right now), so be nice to him.

Or not, I don't care.

**Mattbar** · 27 July 2015, 10:22 am

Yeah he's not lying, and he is actually bald and an idiot.....

Copy all of 'baldidiot' content, focus his keywords, link to his sites from various non-related ones, profit. All jokes aside, welcome to the industry. Arm yourself with patience and enjoy building your websites as well as filling them with content.

Soon enough you'd know if you wanna do this for living and keep on going or migrate to something else

Oh Don't worry my content will be better than BaldIdiots

From what I've heard if you can have some patience and not give up too soon this is not only a profitable industry but a really fun environment too

Im sure he can point you in the right direction, in terms of partners and programs who are good for business. Yah running out of patience is perhaps the rank 1 factor for not succeeding in any field i'd assume.

Yeah I've been helping him out getting started (even pinched a few of my domains). He still insists on working with PP and WH though

Everyone deserves one chance

Patience is the most important. Especially if you want to drive traffic by SEO. It will take time to get started with everything. But once you see some money comming in it will be easier to be patient. Don't think this is the big industry where you will be rich in 1 year.

Keep reading GPWA of course! You will find many tips and good information on this website.

So if I say "hey Matt get me a beer" I'll get two beers?

Welcome to the industry - the more, the merrier. Prepare yourself for failure because fail you will. And then you'll learn from your mistakes and develop a profitable project.

Cheers Dan

I hope to prove you wrong

But yes prepared to make mistakes and learn. Thats one reason why I have a few projects on the go

**eCasinos** · 27 July 2015, 12:16 pm

A mistake doesn't need to be all bad, that’s the way you learn

I don’t know how far you have come but why not start to act as a customer, search for whatever you niche is and take a look at the top 10 sites from the SERP. What´s good and what bad in your opinion, is it a site you get confidence in, if not why.
If I find a site with a good looking theme, I check it via “Show source” and do a search for “theme”.. That’s in Chrome then..

Wait a minute, you wondering about what mistakes you could make.....and you actually admitted to knowing baldidiot?....

oops...just kidding, Welcome to the GPWA....

Thanks for the nice welcome Risk.

Seriously though I would be nowhere without that bald idiot.

Always speak to your Affiliate Programs let them help you with Content, Reviews ,images etc any program worth its wait will go out of their way to assist affiliates or should in my books and if they dont well maybe make a change . We sometimes are busy yes and have limited resources but are always happy to assist where we can
