The Reason Most People Fail In Affiliate Marketing

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.

* No help or support.

* 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.

Those three seemingly simple things prevent literally millions of people from achieving their online goals.

The ace up the sleeve of the industry in general, naturally, is the massively appealing fact that absolutely anyone can reach success if they are prepared to get serious with their efforts to become their own boss. Once you get past all of the whining and looking for excuses, you're left with the fact that it's just like any other business in that you must work hard to see results. []

The part where most of us get lost, however, is being able to find the fine lines between success and failure. Those who are able to get the most out of their affiliate marketing business are not geniuses, they are regular people just like you. They're just doing one small thing differently to the majority.

They're applying themselves to their business. They're treating it like a real business. When others are sat back waiting for a magic online system to develop their income, the serious folks are out there putting the work in for themselves.

The idea of earning from the comfort of your own home in your PJ's might sound great but you have to be ready to work just as hard as you would if you owned a real world business.

If you can focus your efforts on conquering steps two and three you should be absolutely fine. The first rule is something you cannot control, so if you are unlucky enough to be misled by a so-called 'Guru' making big promises to you and then delivering nothing, don't worry. You are the one responsible for your results anyway.

Affiliate marketing is merely a method, you need to be able to apply yourself fully to it or it won't develop into anything more than a pipe dream. You wouldn't open up a store and the relax and expect it to take care of itself, so don't take that route here either.

Sadly, there are thousands of so-called 'Gurus' out there on the internet who will not let you know the facts of becoming your own boss until you have parted company with your hard earned money. You'll often be led into opportunities believing you are going to strike it lucky.

Until you get out of that mentality it will continue happening to you.

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.
