"What is the biggest mistake to avoid when advertising?"
I just googled "advertising mistakes" and found this website: http://www.smalltownmarketing.com/top_ten_advertising_mistakes.html! I think it is a goldmine for any new affiliate to visit. And I had to admit I made and are still making these mistakes.
His number 1 mistake is "Not knowing if your advertising is working" and the answer is KEY CODES! As SFI offers key codes this is definitely one mistake we all can avoid.
His number 2 mistaking is not testing ads. This is one of my mistakes. Bottom line is to run one ad on one site for a week. If no signups or the key code value is zero, move on. This ad won't work. Try another ad for a week. If after a month and 4 or 5 ads with zero results, move on. This site is of no use. If there are some results, tweak the ad and try again. If more results, start advertise that ad elsewhere at several sites. Then after a week or a month, trim off those sites with meagre results. You have found what work for you. Now await the results.
His number 3 mistake is timing. Another of my ongoing mistakes. There are times to advertise and times to wait. If you can find the ideal time to advertise and it is an awkward time for you, scheduling your advertising with an app could be an answer. Invest in one might be a good idea as you can schedule ads every hour and then check the results and then reschedule for the best time slot.
His number 4 mistake is advertising in the wrong place. Would you advertise liquor to a teetotaler or a Muslim or (worse) a rehabilitated alcoholic? No! You won't. But that is a thing we all do. We advertise "Make money" to an audience that are not interested or think we can take them to the gold pot at the end of the rainbow!
And that is the tip of the iceberg...
