This is the best affiliate program on the internet! Put some ads out there and you're on your way to becoming an internet millionaire. Yes?
Before the break ground for your new hill top mansion, here are 5 common mistakes many new affiliate marketers do, which you must avoid.
5. Believe the Hype
And yes, I think the hype promoted by your own program. These revenue projections that all programs are doing is are only projections. You can make that much money. In your first month of the program? Probably not. Look at this as a long term investment in your future, not a way to get rich quickly. Believe in yourself and your ability to make your dream a reality. But do not believe the hype.
4. Expecting immediate results with little effort
Wait for the work of your company. Look forward to work every day. If you opened your own neighborhood store, you expect to go to work every day, is not it? We expect to have to advertise and get people to come to your store. Well, just opened a brand new e-commerce, what will you do to make it work? How are you going to get people to come and see the product?
3. Lack of a plan and specific goals
You've probably heard the saying, plan your work and work your plan. You must have a concrete plan and clear objectives which are measurable. Many people join affiliate programs with vague goals that make a lot of money. How much money? How long do you think? (Try to be realistic here, make a million dollars a month is not realistic.) Well, you need to have clear, concrete goals. Now, how do you get there. Again, think clearly, and make concrete steps.
2. Advertise your affiliate
Wait a minute, if you don't advertise your affiliate link, you would not get your sales and downline members. Create your own website, which is a program for the partner link. Each of your affiliate program on the same site you are doing. You must be different from everyone else. In this way, you are on your site.
1. Quitting the program
You are working with our affiliate program 2, 3, maybe 4 months, very little evidence of gaining income. Then you begin to be discouraged and to wonder if this is worth it in the end. Well, pick yourself up, dust off yourself, and find out what you need to do. Read more. Bug sponsors and your members to mount until they help you out. Do not stop. No one has ever succeeded in affiliate marketing by quitting. Not even you.
