Affiliate marketing is greatly promoted on the internet as
the answer to new found wealth. When in reality almost ninety percent that join
up as an affiliate earn less than a hundred dollars a month. The Affiliate
marketer isn't hurting though because everything they offered was geared to
make sure they always win. It's best to remember that the ninety percent who
are receiving little value financially are the financial life blood of the
marketer. They purposely design their website "squeeze" page to lure
the gullible into believing in the dream of making lots of easy money. Offering
free this and free that to help make the small investment required seem like a
real deal. Now in all fairness there is the ten percent that achieve that
higher income. However they succeed because they know it's a highly competitive
arena and understand what internet marketing practices it takes to succeed.
Important Tools Affiliate Marketers Need
Many times the more successful affiliate marketers offer a
free website as part of their road to wealth package. Oh, they keep their word
all right. They will provide easy access to getting a domain name, web hosting,
and the installation of the free website. However it's usually a one page
website designed and optimized to benefit the affiliate marketer not the new affiliate.
On top of that the marketers don't care if the new sign up understands what he
is doing. There's no "Before You Start" manual offered explaining
established internet marketing technique. Even the hosting, which is an
additional cost, is often also owned by the affiliate marketer. Those ten
percent who are doing will either have enough capital to have well designed
websites made or know how to make one themselves. To succeed as an affiliate
you must have a good website.
In order for an
affiliate to earn income from their new one page website they need one crucial
thing. Customers! And on the internet that only happens if you get
"traffic". This is when the small investment ends and the novice
finds out that they have to again dig deep into their wallet. To make things
worst most free websites have the HTML code search engine optimized to benefit
the affiliate marketer. The internet newbie doesn't realize this having no
understanding of the mechanics of websites. Also even though they have access
to the websites control panel it's meaningless. They have no way of making
changes to their advantage unless they already own and know how to use an HTML
editor which most folks usually don't. The novice affiliate is pretty much
forced to use pay per click advertising to generate any traffic to their sight
causing again more drain on the finances. The point being made here is that
being an affiliate can be very profitable but it's not an accident.
Affiliate Marketing Success = Consistency & Patient
