Since affiliate marketing has made some bloggers wealthy, many people have decided to join the trail.However, research has shown that affiliates world over, in the process of picking affiliate make certain mistakes, which hold them down. So let’s look into those negative habits that have been or will hold you down as an affiliate. And I hope you will take cognizant of them.
Wrong Selection.
Most affiliates make a false start by making the wrong selection and they end up picking market laggards instead of market leaders. Before going into a selection process, an affiliate must be certain about what he wants in share – appreciation, commission, and bonus as well as how long he intended to keep his membership.
Declining Affiliate Programs.
A good affiliate programs appreciate in profits just as a bad affiliate program depreciates in profits. One of the greatest mistakes an affiliate can make is set up account with affiliate program that is experiencing a continuous downward trend in commission-able products because the company might be in serious trouble and possible be heading for bankruptcy.
Undue Sentiments.
Some affiliates often enroll into a company because of the company’s name or because they feel good about it, putting little or no consideration on the present performance or future potentials. The first step to identifying market winners is to identify leading winners of the past, learn their characteristics and the profit pattern they developed in the past.
Accepting Unworthy Gift.
Average affiliates cannot discern the trick of an unethical marketer who uses unworthy freebies to lure them into performing certain actions. Some affiliates love free gift as they love themselves. I am not saying free gifts aren’t ok but you should not allow them to enslave you or put you into bondage. There are lots of freebies to attract and hook you as there are genuine ones to help you. So learn how to receive freebie without exchanging your soul.
Quick Rich Syndromes
Affiliates, mostly first timer and speculators want to make kill on affiliate marketing; therefore, they delve into the market without carrying out the necessary research or consulting professionals. At the end, they get their fingers burnt. If you are first timer or speculator, the name of the game is patience, and the only way you can double you’re your money instantly is to fold it into two equal halves. A much better approach to get rich is to accumulate wealth in a slower safe manner. Do not involve yourself in get- rich quick scheme as you will lose your hard earn cash.
Appetite To Do Everything You See Online.
Many affiliates especially the first timers, engage themselves in anything that promises income. That’s why they fall into scam and conclude that there is no legit way to make money online. There too many noise that would definitely distract you if you’re not sure what you want and how to run your business. I want my dear readers to know that most of those flyers, ads, banners and infomercials claiming that you could make thousands of dollars in no time are scam. They often have membership or joining fee. Which of course earn the promoters money from those who are desperate to make quick money. It doesn’t work in the long run. The vast people who get involve with them end up losing money. It is hard to earn a living. But it’s hard and painful when you spend your hard-earned cash on financial back holes.
Much Desire For Proof
Some affiliates are bent on seeing proof before they can join any affiliate program.Pretty good anyway. This has made most ethical marketers push out proof to convince you into believing whatever they sell to you. Requesting for proof is quite good but doing your due diligence is the most important. Some proofs are false. Tell me. What is impossible online? May be taking risk… You forgot? Setting up account with Face book, Google, YouTube name it, is risk taking.You expose your bio data, pictures to the whole world. You must take risk to succeed in life. But take only a calculated risk. Had it been no proof was given to you as a result of tight schedule, You would lose the right opportunity in fear?Desire for proof is good but much of it holds you down.
Holding Tight.
This is typical to a particular affiliate program that has performed exceptionally in the past. Affiliate gets attached to them expecting a repeat performance. There are many affiliate programs that the professional marketers make money from. Setting up account with such programs will lead to experiencing a continuous downward trend in profit. Beware; affiliate program should be your slave and not the otherwise.
Writing Bad Contents.
Remember, content drives the Internet, and consumers are looking for information which solves a problem, not an immediate sales pitch. The trust, credibility, and authority that content marketing creates knocks down sales resistance, all while providing a baseline introduction to the benefits of a particular product or service.The individuals and businesses that are having the most success online tend to take an approach that involves a high ratio of valuable content that seemingly has no sales agenda, mixed with periodic promotional messages to the people who can eventually become your customers. Now you’ve got to find readers for that content which means you’ll create content that is specifically designed to attract and widen your audience. This is where you put all your headline-writing skills into practice. Content that attracts attention also tends to have a strong, well-defined point of view.A little controversy can be good for attracting new readers, as long as you don’t fall into the trap of seeking attention for its own sake. You’ll still rely on the factors that make your content worth reading: make it useful, make it interesting, make it readable, and put a killer headline on it.
Not Building Trust Before You Pitch.
Remember, the success of any affiliate marketing program depends on genuinely compelling content and products. You want your readers to dig email providers, and do anything they can to make sure they’re getting your content. Most email newsletters are pitch-fests, which makes them no fun to read. Make sure yours is nicely loaded with cookie content, so readers become trained to open everything you send.
