More than 90% of people who sign up for clickbank fail. Why is that? Most people give up, don´t think it can work for them or haven´t obtained the necessary skills to be succesful at internet marketing. The fact is to do it right you need to go through a good affiliate marketing training course. With so many options out there (some making unrealistic promises), how do you pick the right one?

I have been through several training courses (some good, some bad, and one or two really good ones). Here are some tips to help you pick the best affiliate marketing training course so that you don´t loose time (or in some cases money):

1. Pick a course that gives you clear action items that you can work through.

This was one of the most helpful things for me. You really can get lost with all the information out there. Having an action plan to follow and the encouragement to take one step at a time was extremely helpful for me.

2. Pick a training course that allows you to have access to mentoring.

In any field of learning one of the key aspects that leads to success is having a mentor, someone who is in the same field who has more experience, is succesful and is willing to offer one on one help. This will really narrow down your options. Having an affiliate marketing training course that offers one on one help is extremely valuable. There are not too many places on the internet where you can get real one on one help.

3. Pick training that allows you to try some of it for free before paying.

As I searched different training options, I signed up for a free course. It was one of the most helpful courses I had done and it gave me a feel for what I what learn if I decided to sign up and pay the monthly fee. There are a few places that you can get access to training for free. The desire from those that offer this free course is that as you see value in the course you will then decide to join their affiliate marketing training course.

4. Look for a program that offers not only training but internet marketing tools as well.

You want something that not only offers you a good affiliate marketing training course but that offers you keyword research tools, forums, webinars, clickbank research tools, etc. Some programs will even offer hosting and other tools for website development.

Being successful at affiliate marketing doesn´t happen overnight and doesn´t usually happen without proper training. I hope these tips on picking the right affiliate marketing training course will help you make a good decision. Keep at it!
