Setting goals is absolutely necessary to your affiliate marketing career. Personally, I set goals for myself every week because I have a very short attention span and always need to work on a different one before I lose sight of what the goal was.

If you’re new to affiliate marketing and haven’t made any money online, you should set a goal for yourself to make your first $100 online in 30 days. I hear that there’s a great program that helps you do this called the 30-day Challenge. I’ve heard lots about this but haven’t actually used myself.

I made my first $100 online by promoting Project Payday on Craigslist. I didn’t have any money to promote the program on Adwords, so I posted ads on craigslist, which is free. The crazy thing about this is that I only set a goal for myself to make $100 in a month but I made $100 in about 10 days. This happened for me back in 2007.

Goals are great because they keep you motivated to work. You also work harder than if you didn’t have any goals. Even if you don’t meet your goals all the time, you will have definitely learned something from each experience that will make you a better marketer.

Increase your click-thru-rate on adwords with these simple tips.

1. Use the targeted keyword in your ad as much as possible. Include it in the title, description and the URL. Now, for the URL, adwords won’t allow you to make up a fictious website name anymore like they used to. But, you can make up a fake subdomain name. For example: http://money.effbomb.com. The keyword will show up in bold letters and should help you to catch more eyeballs.

2. Capitalize the first letter of every word in the Ad. Google won’t allow ads in ALL CAPS so capitalizing every first letter will have to suffice.

3. Make use of special characters. I try to use these as much as possible. A lot of people don’t use these, but I know first-hand that it’ll draw more attention to your ad. Use characters like these: ? & $ @ % #

These should help you increase your click-thru-rate.
