Affiliate Programs: Why They Work and Why They Don?t!
Here it is in Black and White: Don't make the same mistakes many newmarketers do. Don't give up! I've heard tons of discouraging stories aboutaffiliate programs. And, quite honestly, I wasone of them some years ago. It is a common story. You get into the Internet,surf a bit, find this website about how you canmake money and say: "Baboooom, I can do it too".So you start TRYING to sell marketing products,ebooks and money tree schemes. You try getting areferral that will get a referral that will get100 referrals promoting a supposed "marketing tactic". The fact is that 95% of these people don't evermake a single red cent. Why? Fact #1 - Because most of these "gold mines" do notwork and many of the products are junk. Fact #2 - Because the market is SO saturated, thereis SO much competition it is virtually a pain to peerin. Plus, newbies don't have a chance to compete withthe guys that REALLY know Internet marketing. It makessense, right? Fact #3 - With no straight forward "down on thetable money" you are not going to get quick qualitytraffic, no matter what they say. This is the MAIN reason why most Internet Marketingnewbies get discouraged, and just refuse to continuefighting their way through. It is SO important to make the right start and to keepin mind that you CAN succeed! Look. I will never get tired of repeating this overand over. Do not just try promoting marketingproducts. Find your niche, and explore other markets.There is so much money to be made with it! I personalytry a new niche evrey month or two. Once I have one setup and running I look for another. If one is notworking as well as I want it to, I drop it and move on.The ones that seem to really interest people I willstick with and make work.(It takes real commitment and perserverince) Pets, umbrellas, golf, kitchen, gardening, horrormovies, piano lessons, wine, cosmetics...thepossibilities are virtually endless. If you do it theright way, you WILL make a consistent stream ofincoming money. This is the REAL Internet Marketing. Refrain from the advice of fake gurus that have neverever made a buck applying their auto proclaimed "hotsecret techniques". I don't make all my income with my marketingproducts and services. I'm makingdecent money form it but, I also started out, andstill do niche marketing. In fact I am starting abrand new website for Health and Beauty For Men and Women. It will sell real, heath products just like your localhealth store. No scams or quick fixes. You know whatI'm talking about. We've all seen those ads for pillsor a powder for example that claim to help you loose weight and look like a super model in ten days?Yeah, Right! You could have a Spanish recipe website , a guitar website, a women's product website, a general topic book website, a general discussion forum website...Like I said, I am always planning to explore new markets. With these kinds of sites , I make money promoting otherpeople's stuff (affiliate marketing). That is, I sell their products and I get a commission.I just need to build a website, provide good contentand get the traffic by applying different techniques(I describe exactly what I do in the Marketing MasterCourse) When you do this correctly, you have a realMoney Machine that can work on autopilot. There is no secrets here?The way I made itin this business was by researching, studying,contacting people, asking questions... testing, testing and testing somemore. You can look at it this way?I see this as if I were playing an exciting game. Not something to drive me crazy or worry about or walk away from. Do you want it to be an exciting winning game for youtoo? It is really all up to you. You just need to try and avoid mistakes (we all make one every now and again, but learn from it!) and, take it one step at a time and don't get discouraged. You can do it! I know because I did.
