First action as an affiliate: Scoping Read Materials.

Posted by Iskandar Hussein as


We are now moving into action phase. This blog will move to answer the question on "What kind of material should I read and where can I get it?"

We are looking for reading material to achieve our objective to understand how to get customers for the GDI Web Hosting services. We will properly scope our reading materials and produce a list of reading topics.

Scoping of Reading Materials

To understand on how to get customers for the GDI Web Hosting Services, we need to produce reading topics which enable us to perform a specific search for material relating to:



  • Several types of customers who in need of web hosting services.
  • Different customer behavior on the net.
  • Several different kinds of features offered as selling point by web hosting service provider.
  • Several effective approaches used by experience affiliate marketers to attract customer to purchase the web hosting services.
  • Several different type of affiliate marketer which would help to understand our competitors better.
  • How the affiliate marketing trend does looks like from now to next five years.
  • Type of support groups to help us to grow and improvise the knowledge.
  • Risk associating to the activities, getting the customer in.
  • Mitigating risk associating to customer searching activities.
  • Type of attitude needed in order to progress throughout the process.
  • Entry point and exit strategy for affiliate marketing business.
I believe we have enough lists for us to build the topic for our reading material. You can expand the list if you want. Again I would like remind you that, I am using GDI as my product. You can select your own product and your list should be somewhat similar to the lists we build above. The only different would be the web hosting service statement. You can change it to your own product or services.

In our next entry, we will cover on the list of reading topics for us to work on.
