For the last two weeks, I have received several questions via contact form regarding how to be successful with affiliate marketing in a short time. That is indeed an interesting question and I think that many of you are interested in what I would say in this article too.
I understand that all of us would love to boost our commissions in a very short time but I would say that you should wait as nothing is easy. Your hard work will definitely be rewarded.
It is not hard to find a lot of ebooks online saying that they have made hundreds of thousands USD per month without doing anything. Do you believe that? If you think it is true, so you should not read my blog anymore and unsubscribe to my feed too.
I myself have spent a lot of money buying these kinds of ebooks from clickbank and read all of them but I have found out that all of formulas mentioned in their ebooks are similar. Many of them use PLR with some changes. You need to read their disclaimers at the end of their sale pages an you will see that you are not guaranteed to earn as much as they have disclosed in their ebooks.
But, what is the facts behind these millionaire ebooks?
There are two theories that I can tell you all about these ebooks (1) the proofs of revenue in these ebooks are fake or copied from other sources, not their real earning and (2) these earning have been accumulated for a long time or from different streams, not from what those ebooks formulas. You can trust what I say or not but you need to be practical and realistic. Don't trust what are theoretical!
Many of you are willing to pay for about $100 to get an ebook from someone who self-disclosed that s/he had made $500,000 per 45 days from what s/he mentioned in the ebook. I know that you are very hurried to get rich online but my advice is that don't hurry!
Affiliate marketing is a long journey that needs your patience and learning process. You can not make money right away after joining it. You can be lucky to get 1-2 sales at first day but you should not consider it a great step to get rich in a week or even month. Your readers are smarter and smarter so you need to provide them value in order to convince them to order via your affiliate links.
I have made nothing from affiliate networks last 5 years and I felt upset about my blogging journey and thought that I should quit but I did not. I knew that affiliate marketing should be a long journey to success.
When you will get success with affiliate marketing?
There is no fixed time for you. You can be successful within 3-6 months or even 2-3 years. It depends a lot on what you want to do. If you areserious about affiliate marketing and you are eager to learn about it, you should be successfully. But, I must tell you that erase your thoughts that you can get rich fast, you will be successful soon. That lazy thought will discourage you if you can not refer any clients within a week.
Be well prepared with a realistic plan in place, you will surely get success!
