You can create a web site in as little as 48 hours and it&#8217;s possible to start earning money shortly after that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying it will be easy.  You&#8217;re going to have to do some work.  And there&#8217;s <strong><em>no guarantee<\/em><\/strong> that you&#8217;ll make money.  If anyone tells you otherwise, pleeeeeeeeeeze don&#8217;t buy any products or services from them.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t have to take years for you to make a profit and you don&#8217;t have to go into debt to do it.  Review what I said <a href=\"https:\/\/sherylschuff.com\/blog\/affiliate-marketing\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-start-an-on-line-business\/\">here<\/a>.  It really <strong><em>is possible<\/em><\/strong> to start making money in 30 days or less.<\/p>\n<p>I made my first dollar <!--more-->from affiliate marketing after completing the <a href=\"http:\/\/thirtydaychallenge.com\">30 Day Challenge<\/a> in the summer of 2008.  I encourage you to sign up and try out their program for yourself.  What you&#8217;ll get (all for free) is a thorough introduction to affiliate marketing for beginners.<\/p>\n<p>The Challenge has run &#8220;live&#8221; every August for the past several years, but the training material remains available (and still free) year round.  So you can start whenever you&#8217;re ready.  You probably won&#8217;t see a lot of activity in their forum area if you&#8217;re working the program in the off-season, but you&#8217;ll still get some very worthwhile instruction.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with the tools they suggest you use, they have a pre-season area with training you should look at before you start the Day 1 activity.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit that I didn&#8217;t use all of their tools and you don&#8217;t have to either.  Approach the exercise as a way to <strong>start learning about the possibilities<\/strong> that exist in affiliate marketing and do your best to complete as many of the activities as possible.  It&#8217;s a great way to get your basic training.<\/p>\n<p>I put up a small affiliate web site to do some market testing and see if the theories I was learning during the 30 Day Challenge  actually worked.  For me, they did.  I earned some small commissions shortly after my site had been on-line for a month.  I did very little work on the site once it was in place and it continued generating small commissions for many months.<\/p>\n<p>I put it into &#8220;maintenance&#8221; mode a few months ago, planning to upgrade my WordPress installation and add some new ways to make money from the site.  Then I got swamped with other work and haven&#8217;t revamped the site yet.  Still, it continues to get traffic almost every day.  I haven&#8217;t spent a cent on advertising. <\/p>\n<p>You can take as long as you like to go through the 30 Day Challenge.  If it takes you longer than 30 days, that&#8217;s OK.  Start today and do it at your own pace.  I think you&#8217;ll be glad you did.  If you don&#8217;t finish it, that&#8217;s OK, too.  You&#8217;re sure to learn some important ideas and concepts about Internet marketing.<\/p>\n<p>There goes your &#8220;it takes too long to get started&#8221; excuse.<\/p>\n<p>What else is keeping you from beginning today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> You don&#8217;t have to work for months before earning your first dollar on-line.
