Are You Cut Out For Affiliate Marketing?

By Howe Russell


Over the last ten years there has been a surge in popularity for people looking to make money online and affiliate marketing is one of the methods which is commonly used. Today we'll look at why many people don't get the results they want from it and show you the simple steps which should help you to determine whether this is an area you want to pursue.

We've all heard the statements that 97% of people fail to reach success on the internet. Naturally, this stat is designed to shock you into reality.

Before you jump into any affiliate program it would be wise to see why most people fail to get any results, that way you can enhance your own chances of success. There are three big issues blocking the path to success for most people.

* No help or support.

* The affiliate is only interested in making money and has no interest in the actual products their chosen company provides.

* The person doesn't spend enough time working on their business.

Those three seemingly simple things prevent literally millions of people from achieving their online goals.

However, one of the massive redeeming attributes this industry holds is that it's true anybody can achieve success with it, regardless of knowledge or background. It you work at your business, you'll generally see results from it.
Russ Howe teaches what he did in order to make money online from home.


There is a small margin between reaching your goals and getting no results. Affiliate marketing lives by the same rules as any business, those who are experiencing the big results you hear about online are normal people who are just working a little bit differently the the masses.

They're applying themselves to their business. They're treating it like a real business. When others are sat back waiting for a magic online system to develop their income, the serious folks are out there putting the work in for themselves.

The idea of earning from the comfort of your own home in your PJ's might sound great but you have to be ready to work just as hard as you would if you owned a real world business.

If you attempt to get involved in any home based business the three reasons for failure will become major factors in your quest for success. Ensure you don't fall victim to any of them, particularly the second and the third reasons, and you should find the journey to success far easier.

There is a ridiculous mindset associated with online business or affiliate marketing which does nothing but hold people back. They go into businesses treating it like a part time hobby or miracle quick fix solution to all of their current problems. Of course, it simply isn't that way in reality. They then wonder why they never saw any results and they quit.

If you can't resist the temptation which will be constantly put under your nose by 'Gurus' trying to temp you with promises of easy, life altering financial rewards you will not get far. There isn't much luck involved in becoming your own boss.

Many people will be ready to test your resolve and offer you the 'next big thing' at every turn. It's up to you to be grown up enough to focus on your own business.

Affiliate marketing is such a big industry now that there are literally thousands to choose from. The difference between a brand like Empower Network or Avon comes down to as little as personal taste, so take your time in making a decision for yourself. There is undoubtedly the ability to make money online but, as we have pointed out, the reasons many people fail are not always as complex as they like the make out.
