The misconception around "Easy" With affiliate marketing diversion

When you try to make money online with affiliate marketing, more than 95% of people end up in the devastation of defeat. Why? Due to simple misdirection, they miss the whole point and logic behind affiliate marketing. Those who still think that affiliate marketing is about picking random products and flooding all the major social networks with affiliate links? Well, good luck …

Affiliate marketing is not a contest, it is a journey and if “instant riches” is what affiliate marketing sees, stop now! That’s exactly where 95% go wrong, and when reality sets in and they make little or no money, many are doomed to despair. But what should you understand about affiliate marketing?

Understand why “easy” creates a false sense of security.

Especially in the times we live in and people are desperate. One deceptive but eerily effective marketing technique is to show you how much money “they” are making. But what they often don’t tell you is how long it took them to get there! Most of those impressive screenshots are legitimate, but after 5, 10, or even 15 years.

You need to make your expectations compass realistic. Here are some facts to accept before you even consider making money online, affiliate marketing, or otherwise. Maybe I am going to step on some toes, but that does not make the truth less.

1. Accept the fact that you will probably fail the first time, I guarantee!

2. Accept the fact that there is a possibility of losing some money.

3. Accept the fact that you will probably be testing multiple systems / programs.

4. Accept that success is about knowledge and time.

5. Accept the fact that the only magic money button is you!

6. Accept the fact that your work hours will increase exponentially.

7. Accept the fact that learning is more valuable than winning.

8. Remember to make the freedom you long for greater than the need you feel.

Dissecting the 8 Realities of Affiliate Marketing Misconceptions.

1 – Let me start by saying (as an experienced affiliate marketer) that failure is imminent, but never mistake failure for defeat. It will probably fail the first time, the second time, the third time, and so on. Or maybe you get it because in the end everything depends on you.

Nobody comes to achieve success for you, you are alone with that one. But also remember that failure is manufactured, you never really fail. You just learn, or win, but you can only really fail when you give up.

2 – At some point you will have to spend some money to keep up with the competition or stay behind. From training programs to add-ons and software. There are several tools you need to compete on a professional level. Some of the money you spend, you may end up losing, is going to happen.

In no way am I trying to scare you with the idea of ​​making money online with affiliate marketing. On the contrary, even if it is the bearer of the proverbial bad news. No, I am simply pointing out the facts and all the failures that I had to overcome for almost a decade. When you start, go out with a casual gallop. It is not a contest.

3 – There is no such thing as “One size fits all“What works for one person may not necessarily work for the next. So be prepared to try more programs and systems than you can later remember. But you don’t necessarily need to lose money this way, make sure there is a security Net safety nets?

Yes, also known as a 100% money-back guarantee. When you decide to try something, make sure they offer a money-back guarantee. Why any product owner in my opinion not? They have little faith in your product, and you should too. However, the benefit of testing multiple systems is the knowledge that you take with you. You shouldn’t try to work with affiliate marketing, you should.

4 – As mentioned above, knowledge is the real gold. Because the two most important elements of success are knowledge and time. The longer you continue, the more successful you will be. Go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. It will take time and it will require knowledge to be successful.

Your only secret weapon, especially on a tight budget, is time, make a choice. Make a decision and refuse to be outdone! If you can’t pay more than your competitors, you will have to work harder than them! Time, knowledge, patience, perseverance, and planning!

5 – Stop chasing all the magic money buttons and get rich quick, it is NOT going to happen. But I encourage you to try them all and get the knowledge. While you must realize that there is only one magic button that will turn your PC into a money spitting machine and that is you. Nothing else, no one else. Focus on only one task, system, and / or program at a time. Let me explain it this way.

When you try to cut down a tree. Running around the tree in circles, hitting it at 1000 different spots will be exhausting. All you are doing is making small marks on the crust, with no real damage. But when you keep hitting the same tree in the exact same place 1000 times? Eventually it should go down!

6 – Contrary to popular belief, you are not going to work 10-15 minutes a day. Even if only that is needed to configure a particular system or program. Every system, program, or method you test is a tool, and any tool only works as well as the person using it. The more time you invest in something, the more knowledge you will accumulate.

Be prepared for a sudden increase in work hours when you start affiliate marketing, and a pretty big one. Because your level of success is determined by the amount of effort you are willing to put in. The question is how badly do you want to be successful?

7 – One of the biggest mistakes you can make is focusing on how much you can earn and how soon you will be leaving for that permanent island vacation! Focus on what you can learn and don’t be distracted by the distant glow and sparkling objects of instant riches. It is up to you to generate your wealth with affiliate marketing, everything else is just tools.

Tools that you will have to learn to use correctly. Training videos that you will have to watch more than once before getting it right. Reading of training documents and case studies. Success requires maximum effort.

8 – Why do you want to make money online with affiliate marketing? Take a moment and decide on an answer. If what you crave is instant rich, then you are still focusing on what you think you need. A wish for the impossible to happen suddenly. You’re missing the big picture and focusing on the nasty spot in the corner.

But when you want to make money online from affiliate marketing because you want to work towards financial freedom. Well then you are focusing on the freedom you crave and not the need you feel. Setting realistic long-term goals is how you end up making money online with affiliate marketing.
