Affiliate Marketing Quiz: Affiliate Email Marketing, the Unicorn and the Dragon. are they all merely Myths?
The good news answer: No, the High-Earning Affiliate is alive and well!
And you can become one, too!
We all want success and success on the internet has to be the sweetest of them all. just imagine, making a great living from home.
Why is affiliate marketing so appealing?
- The affiliate email marketing model is a high reward/low risk way to build substantial income starting part-time.
- Another great benefit of affiliate marketing is that you are encouraged to do what you like doing. the most successful marketers have built their businesses around a central theme they love whether it is a hobby, a personal goal in life or a special skill they enjoy.
- Your internet marketing business opportunity should really be a labor of love.
- You don’t want to represent junk. you want to become known as the expert or experts in your field of internet marketing. For that, you have to have excellent products that you can sell or refer people to. In the affiliate email marketing model, they have already been made for you by the companies you pick and choose! later, you can create your own products.
- You don’t have to invest a penny in manufacturing or warehousing or anything using affiliate marketing. let someone else do that for you!
- Dealing with people can be great, but sometimes it is a great pain. with affiliate marketing, you never have contact with a customer, someone else handles shipping, handling and customer issues. all you do is learn how to attract internet searchers to your site (there’s the challenge), give them good information on what they are seeking and refer them to a high quality affiliated merchant that has the solution to their problem. you get paid if they buy from the company you sent them to. Simple. you don’t even need a merchant account.
Affiliate marketing. What a great way to create a life changing home business!
Colonel Winchester once said, “God created man, my rifle made them all equal.”
This is what the world wide web has done. For the first time in history, the little person has as much chance of succeeding as the big multinationals.
Yet, why do the majority of affiliate marketing people never make a single check considering how simple this is and virtually risk free? the world wide web has been referred to as the river of gold. why don’t they succeed and what’s email got to do with it?
Fact: On average, a person visits a web site 7 times before buying. the best way to earn their trust is to build an email listing to which you send regular newsletters. this keeps you in their mind and builds incredible trust. these are the people that buy into your recommendations over and over again.
Most affiliate marketing sites fail due to one or more of the following four problems. All four are avoidable or beatable with the appropriate strategies and tools. Let’s review…
Affiliate email marketing failure reason #1: Failure to Prepare.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Yes, I know it seems a waste of time to plan and analyze, but it is what the successful do. WARNING: I know you are being bombarded by get rich quick affiliate marketing schemes. Buy this book or use this web hosting and you’ll be wading in money in no time. Don’t buy into it.
It feels “unproductive” to prepare and set up a system. But it’s how the successful succeed.
Part of your preparation should include going beyond the affiliate model.
There are many ways to earn income without ever dealing with a customer. Use them ALL.
Affiliate email marketing failure reason #2: Dependency on Merchants
“Ask not what your merchant can do for you..” – to paraphrase John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)
Be aware that most merchant companies have no training programs. you are on your own. A lot of the stuff they might have is basically useless. there is no help in developing your business with some weekly newsletter talking about their latest banner.
- Understanding in how the internet works.
- Learn how to attract customers drooling for good information.
- Learn how to create your own information products for sale eventually (it’s not hard, folks).
- Find other companies to become affiliated with. you don’t want to depend on just one.
Affiliate email marketing failure reason #3: No web site or a poor one.
“The best place to succeed is where you are, with what you have.” – Charles M. Schwab
The language of the internet is called html (hypertext markup language). If you don’t know this, you will need to hire a web developer.
Even if they learn some code language, most people end up with:
- An amateurish look to what they have done
- They haven’t learned the value of SEO (critical) and so forth. If you don’t know what terms to put into your text, the search engines won’t even notice you.
- Host at a free Web hosting service (#1 credibility destroyer)
- A site that does not have the proper structure or wording. the search engines are king and they look for certain sure signs of quality.
- Getting almost no traffic. People have to know how to attract the attention of the engines and how to please them.
Affiliate email marketing failure reason #4: little or no traffic.
Most affiliates never figure out how to attract tens of thousands of interested, motivated visitors every day and that’s what it takes to make it.
In conclusion: there is really good money to be made. the bad news is that it is not usually made quickly, however and not without some sacrifice of time and effort.
Doing business on the internet is like nothing before. Learn it, profit from it, quit your job some day (not now) and prosper.
God speed and good luck!
