Everyone makes mistakes at some point when doing affiliate marketing. However mistakes aren't always a bad thing because you can learn from them and turn them into a positive. Many very successful affiliate marketers had made a lot of mistakes along the way, it's how they got where they are today. Some small boo boos, some too embarrassing to share. But what matters is learning from those mistakes so that you never do them again. That's how you turn mistakes into positives! Think about all the affiliate marketing you've been doing over the past 12 months or more. How many mistakes have you made? You must have made one! How did you turn that/those mistakes into a positive so that it made you a better affiliate marketer?

Another huge mistake I've heard of is, that affiliate marketers doesn't creates unique tracking IDs, so they won't know where the sale came from.. The reason for the mistake in this scenario is that you won't be able to scale things up with that specific campaign of yours and you'll lose potential future sales.
A third mistake I've heard of, and the last I'll mention right now, is that affiliate marketers doesn't stick to their plan. As soon as they hear about a new cool product they start promoting that, instead of sticking to the products they already promoted. This would be a mistake because when you don't stay with your "game plan" you'll end up losing both focus and potential sales.
These things are something I would remember if I were to start working in this field but I look forward to other replies as I've much to learn!

hitmeasap As I create and sell my own products I can't say that I've made any mistakes in this field. However, as I've been a freelancer for quite some time now, this has also given me some "insight" and knowledge. What I've come to understand, there's some major mistakes new affiliate marketers are doing. For instance, they sign up to each and every affiliate program they can, so they can promote and advertise endless products.. And this usually ends up in a huge disaster. Less is more so to speak, if you'd want to do things right. Promote only one or a few products at most at the same time. That way, you'll be able to focus on these things alone and you'll get better results by doing so.
