Success By An Affiliate
Category: Affiliate Marketing - Basics | Date: 2003-04-28 |
As you may have noticed many things can stand in the way of your business goals. Lifes demanding burdens taking away your time and often hindering your success. There is another alternative that I have found as not only a great way to earn money for your own business. Its also a great way to achieve financial freedom, a learning resource or to use as your full-time business.
Many entrepreneurs out there are carrying a load of debt in their quest for a better life and financial freedom. This is just one of many things that make it hard sometimes for ordinary people to start their own business. Not to mention getting the money to pay for proper support and resources. Also what about organizing their product or service? Wheres the time, knowledge and support going to come from?
Many people have found useful alternatives that some have a hard time finding. Such as, business loans, grants, and reliable support. Something that I have done before is sell things I own to get money to get started. I sold my car and lost every penny of the investment! I was riding my bike and catching the bus all over town for months. Plus I still had payments on the car to make!
Like many I didnt have the money or knowledge of the proper channels to financing my dream. In the beginning I really didnt even know what I wanted to do! I just knew that I wanted to stop talking and make something happen. I tried many other entrepreneurs businesses including many MLM programs. I paid into countless get rich schemas that were not getting me anywhere.
During all this time I was learning something very valuable. What was this? A few basics needed for a successful business. Here are three very important things you need:
· A product or service wanted and needed by a wide variety of people.
· A price that is reasonable and affordable.
· Be able to generate a reasonable profit off of your sell price.
There is one more very important thing that must be done after attaining these three things. But before I reveal this here is something that many people take for granted. These are obstacles that many entrepreneurs have a hard time overcoming. The thing is, affiliate programs have eliminated all of these obstacles!
After realizing this you must know that the main job of an affiliate is to move the product or service. You need to promote and advertise like crazy. That is where all of your focus needs to be. Whatever you are getting paid for selling is what you need to promote. You as an affiliate are the sales force for the business you are in. The better you do that job the more you will get paid!
So how do you advertise? Your enroller or the owner of the business you are promoting knows the most effective ways. Ask them and they will tell you things from ezines to banners to infomercials and more. Primarily it is your responsibility if you want to make the most money to find the most effective ways to move the goods or services. Let the consumers know your product is out there. Learn the product and advertise what the consumer needs or wants. Be honest. False advertising may get you sales but it will get you a lot of refunds too.
If you are trying to get started fast, affiliate programs can take you where you want to go and further. Here are some things to keep in mind for picking a good affiliate program to promote that can make you money.
· Join a business that provides a product or service wanted by many people.
· Make sure that the goods or services are doing what they say they do. Try the product to find out.
· Be cautious about affiliate programs that promote paypal and other payment options and give you a clickbank id for promoting your website (example= www.trynow.com/clickbankID#/usa.html). You will loss commissions. The only commission you will receive will be from people that buy from the clickbank link.
· Stop blowing your money on training tapes that just give testimonies. Spend that money advertising the product.
· Make sure you can get support from the people in the business with you. After all you are their sales force. Dont be afraid to ask for advice.
· Dont promote a product you dont like. It will affect your advertising efforts and responses.
· Dont get involved with envelope stuffing. There are machines from companies like Neopost and others that print flyers and put them into envelopes. They fold and seal too. The purchase price is the same as what these envelope-stuffing companies say they can pay you each week ($4,000 starting price).
· Never, Never, Never Give Up! It will pay off down the road. Trust me.
