subject: Are You Killing Your Affiliate Marketing Business With These 3 Basic Mistakes? [print this page] Affiliate marketing is a flexible part time home business we can pick for potentially great amount of profits. Thats the reason why we see more marketers entering this form of business. Like all types of businesses, there are always pitfalls. If we are not careful, we can lose a large chunk of our profits or even our business. A business is about building systems. So we have to ensure that the structure of our system is steady.
Here are some of the mistakes we can avoid.
The first mistake is to choose the wrong affiliate product. The most important point about choosing a product to market is that you must like it. How else to know if you like it? Go try it. It is easy to share something which you have tried and like! It doesnt matter as much that the product is in demand. It is more important that you like it.
The second mistake would be to join too many affiliate programs.
The logic about making more money online may seem simple join more programs! This is not true. Marketing a products requires your effort and time. If you have too many programs at hand, then youll be dividing your time and effort among the products. When your efforts are spread too thin, you may not see decent results. In my opinion, it is best to start with one.
Choose a product which you like and pays you at least 50% commission. Focus your efforts on marketing this product and once youve made reasonable profit out of it, for example, you made 50 sales, then you can move on to another program.
The third mistake is also the most deadly not buying the products or services.
The point about using your product here is to understand your product. Only when you have understood your product then you can explain the benefits and the features of the product effectively so that you can inject the desire to buy in your prospects. The idea is to be convincing.
Be the living proof of the product! When you have tried, you will be able to tell if the program delivers what it promises. Promoting a overhyped or product of inferior quality may damage your reputation as a marketer.
Remember that these mistakes can potentially eat into your profits or destroy your business. So pay close attention constantly so as to not commit these 3 basic marketing mistakes.
Now that youve received tips on how to boost your internet marketing business, Ive an interesting story to share.
A miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily.
One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it.
The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations.
A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
