Is Affiliate Marketing For You?

By Howe Russell


Over the last ten years there has been a surge in popularity for people looking to make money online and affiliate marketing is one of the methods which is commonly used. Today we'll look at why many people don't get the results they want from it and show you the simple steps which should help you to determine whether this is an area you want to pursue.

We've all heard the statements that 97% of people fail to reach success on the internet. Naturally, this stat is designed to shock you into reality.

There are a number of reasons this happens to most people and today we're going to share those with you.

* Their upline or sponsor provides no help.

* The affiliate is only interested in making money and has no interest in the actual products their chosen company provides.

* The age old rule of business pops up again. People simply don't work hard enough.

It might look easy written up there but those three steps trip up just about everybody in the home based business industry at some point.

However, one of the massive redeeming attributes this industry holds is that it's true anybody can achieve success with it, regardless of knowledge or background. It you work at your business, you'll generally see results from it. []

There is a small margin between reaching your goals and getting no results. Affiliate marketing lives by the same rules as any business, those who are experiencing the big results you hear about online are normal people who are just working a little bit differently the the masses.

Those people are literally working on their business whenever they can. They're putting in effort every single day of the year without fail. There aren't many who are prepared to do that.

As many people have said in the past, 'you can not climb the ladder of success while your hands are in your pockets.'

Rules number two and three are by far the most common reasons for failure to achieve online business goals. The first rule, while still important, is something which can be easily overcome just by being serious and taking responsibility for yourself.

Keep your brain fully engaged to avoid the typical hype you'll encounter online. Every opportunity presents itself as the next big thing and it's likely you'll be tempted to fall for it a few times unless you look at potential businesses the same way you'd look at a business move in the everyday offline world.

Usually you don't discover how hard it is to become your own boss until you have tried it, but by now you should have a rough idea of the things you will deal with along the way.

If you believe you can strike it lucky to change your financial life you'd be better off playing the lottery.

Affiliate marketing is such a big industry now that there are literally thousands to choose from. The difference between a brand like Empower Network or Avon comes down to as little as personal taste, so take your time in making a decision for yourself. There is undoubtedly the ability to make money online but, as we have pointed out, the reasons many people fail are not always as complex as they like the make out.
