There are many millions of affiliate and network marketers in the world trying to make money on the internet. Face it, The competition is tremendous. Being in this world for ten years let me tell you the hard truth, either you will take it or leave it: a shocking 90% of people already failed before they started. Although excitement is something that is good to have when starting any business, remember just because you are excited about something doesn’t mean other people are. Don’t ever forget that!

So why will 90% fail? because they are not focusing and doing their homework.You got to put in that serious time in research just as you have done in college. Study,study,study;Then Execute-consistently.

   So, here is the three tips on affiliate marketing-how not to fail.

(1) How to generate a leads list: you can have the best product and website in the world, but with no leads, No Profit!-simple wisdom. You must get leads from social networking events, parties, school, warm markets, waiters in restaurants-any and everywhere!

As for on-line, start a blog that people can become fans and suscribe to; open up a free EzineArticle account. Also you can start a YouTube account. This can work out excellent, because when you make your information sessions more personable, trust can be established.

Bottom line, save all emails and contact information you get in a folder, because just because someone is not interested in the present moment, doesn’t mean they won’t be six months later. You can just send them information as a reminder of your business twice a month-long as they didn’t completely say no to the possibility of joining or buying what you have. Just keep giving it value.

(2) How to build Traffic regularly: A lot of people rely on warm markets-and even worse-cold markets to promote their business. Its good to do offline in combination with on-line methods. But truthfully. since there are tens of millions of people online there is more massive exposure to the world on what you have to offer. When it comes to getting rejected too much in person, that can create a lack of faith in your business, resulting in you giving up. When it comes to on-line the difference is, you expect it. But as you become more wise in SEO, keyword research, buying legitimate prospect list, doing promotions of free give aways (which increases value) you will get more and more traffic and eventually more sign-ups

(3) Don’t become a salesman, but establish relationships:   Unfortunately, nowadays, people don’t trust salesman too much, but they do trust  a business man of integrity and honor. Never let your desperation of your personal financial situation make you become pushy. Always show value-over and over again with patience. Do not Spam people!   when people trust your sincerity in combination with the value of what you have, eventually when the time is right, they will respond with a question about what you have or just plain sign up, or purchase what you have to offer.

Just put yourself in the person’s shoes you are approaching and imagine what makes you want to buy what a stranger has.
