Affiliate Motivation

z

One thing I am constantly seeing with Affiliates is their lack of motivation. At first they are all about, trying to get out there, making it their number #1 goal. They join as many groups, affiliate channels, buy as many books as they can and get sucked into every offer they see, your favorites are probably boggled with everything you have signed up for or are interested in knowing more about. So, guess what? They are now offically overwhelmed, they have no idea where to turn, how to react and so guess what happens? They stop, go on to their next desparate ploy to creating wealth online.

I hate seeing that, it makes me sad. I know their is a way around the system of Internet Marketing. It's really not that hard. I have written about it before. I have initialized a checklist on what to do & not to do. I have even thought about it in even more depth. There are ALOT of niches out there. Yet I see the same pattern, everyone is trying to follow someone else's module. It doesn't work that way. You have to start with what you know. There are people out there that are always flashing these ads about how to make money, now I know this isn't something most affiliates know, because they haven't been here as long as some of these other players have been. They know what you want to hear & how to tug at the nerve. Trust me, I know this because I have been there many a times. I have listened to others, doled out alot of money yet I have seen nothing positive come out of the whole deal because you are following a chain of command effect.

The players that have been here the longest know that you are going to see their information, buy the product thinking that you are going to make $674,783.99 in 23 hours and 32 seconds. They know that you are going to try to sell them that same niche that they just got you with. Then they also know, that in 3-5 days you are going to give up & the cycle will continue.

You want a solution, you want to be successful, you are determined to make this work! I think I might have one. Let's ask the first question though?

1. Are you ready?
2. What are your hobbies?
3. What do you consider yourself an expert on?
4. What fascinates you that makes you want to know more about?
5. Can your hobby or fascination make you money?
6. What tools do you have to make this work?
7. Do you have the patience?

These are some valid points to look at while trying to find your common ground with Internet Marketing. I am not going to sugarcoat anything here, but this takes time & effort. If you are hanging around reputable Internet Marketers, they will tell you the same thing. I like to think that I am a pretty patient in all areas of my life except for when I am waiting for dinner & it seems like they are taking forever. I am always available for helping anyone who is willing to put in the time & effort. The internet is still young, if treated properly it can bring you income for a long time coming.

For those who have taken that deep breath and are in this for the long haul, congrats & welcome to your freedom. An additional checklist to be sure this is the right avenue.

Til next time,

A beginner Internet Marketers' checklist

z

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd write a topic that I have kind of noticed amongst everyone. A little checklist that will help you figure what you are doing and how to go about it....

You want to make money, you have either came here because you have a knack, a morbid fascination or you are desparate to make money. Now while having morbid fascinations & knacks are all fine and dandy, being desparate is not the way to go and I am sure alot of the old timers'll agree. When you are desparate, everything around you becomes a mess.

1. I want you to think before you step into the world of Internet Marketing and ask yourself..

a)Is this the right avenue?
It's ok if it isn't, there are many avenues to making money..

b)Are you here because of all the hype and the dollar signs?
If you are here because you have "seen" the bank statements, paypal accounts, etc, realize that it took these people hours and days and sometimes months & years to get where they are..

c)Can you afford the costs involved?
No matter what people tell you, there are costs involved, always a few costs whether you see it or not. You having an internet connection is a cost associated, just to show the glimpse I am going with this.

d)Do you have your goals in place, eggs lined in order?
Every successful business/marketer has a plan, a business goal, an idea. The end product, like for example, mine is to raise capital from doing this to start my own business. I have a business plan & idea that I want to follow.

e)Is there a backup plan if this shouldn't work?
Not everyone is cut out to do this, prepare a backup plan!

f)Are you setting your goals too high?
If you are, tone em down
g)Are you desparate for money, is rent due? Chase knocking on your door?
If this is a secret yes, then please contact a credit counselor, debt analyzer, We don't know your situation, but I'm sure we've all been there and we want success not doom!


If this has been said, well it's always great to get another angle on everything :)

good luck!
Alison
