The Facts On Making Money With Affiliate Programs

By Russell Howe


There are numerous ways to make money online these days, one of which is working as an affiliate of an online business and earning an income by recommending customers to a certain brand or program.

There are a few things you need to know before you get started, that's for sure.
Full time father Russ Howe reveals how he managed to make money online for his young son.


Most companies offer some sort of affiliate plan and one popular way to build an income from home is to become an affiliate of an existing corporation or company. Even popular sites like Amazon run this type of thing and it's growing in popularity each year.

While it makes perfect sense to pair yourself with an already trusted name and earn a living by recommending their products rather than trying to set up your own brand from the ground up, this often actually holds people back when it comes to potential earnings.

Having something which is already established goes a long way to removing the drive and focus you actually need to become successful as your own boss. When you're trying to carve out a living for yourself with a hobby or personal interest your back is often up against the wall, you know how serious you must be in order to succeed.

The drive necessary to become your own boss is what's often lacking among affiliate marketers and we will show you why in just a second. Anyone who has achieved success with their own brand in the real world will possess a very different attitude to those you see from people attempting to work from home.

Take a look around for ways to work from home on the internet and you will see one statement repeated over and over again. It's easy, you can do it almost on complete auto pilot. This nonsense mentality removes the drive and dedication from the affiliate, they want results for nothing. Empower Network is a great example of an online opportunity so misunderstood that, despite offering real riches to those who push themselves with it, very few affiliates actually get the most from it in the way they could if they just applied themselves.

The online world consists largely of people who wouldn't last two minutes in the real world trying to become their own boss, but they waste money online because it's simple and easy to fall into. Without the determination to succeed, the greatest of opportunities can become nothing more than a little pipe dream.

That certainly doesn't mean you don't have what it takes, of course. It just means you need to be sure about what you are doing beforehand rather than copying the same mistakes thousands of others make every day. Set your goals beforehand and treat your business like a business.

You can't reach your goal without actually moving forward.

That statement describes the predicament of thousands of affiliate marketers around the world. They are their own worst enemy.

There are two types of people who try to make money online and they consist of those looking for an instant, easy solution to all of their problems and those genuinely looking to create a long term income for their family from home. Which are you? It's easy to tell.
