Focus on Success - How To Make Affiliates Work For You


How do we go about getting success with affiliate programs my friends?

Let me tell you - the key to achieving success in the Internet Affiliate Game is FOCUS - plain and simple!

Here's what you have to do: -

-Read around and find out what's on offer - there are many articles available to guide you.

-Do your research once and do it right - the time you take now will pay dividends in the future.

-Pick a subject area that will retain your interest and close in on it. You want to become the specialist in this area so that people are drawn to you.

-Then find just a handful of affiliate programs to compliment your choice!

Just a handful?

That's right.

Because here's the thing, you focus on a maximum of 5 chosen affiliate programs and then you market, market, market them!

a) You're a specialist, you know what you're talking about - this makes marketing easier

b) People will trust your proven judgement and follow your leads

c) You'll have a ton of energy to put into marketing your selective affiliates and THAT my friend is what will make you ultimately a success.

If you go wide fast, you lose momentum, if you spread yourself thin you lose direction and credibility.

You see, it's not which affiliate you ultimately choose that will bring in the rewards, it is how successfully you can promote and market that affiliate to your customers that will bring in the financial reward that you so richly deserve.

Think about it.

It makes A LOT of sense.

Find your focal point!

Find your affiliate programs!

Become the specialist!

And drive the best-targeted prospects possible to your affiliates!

Honestly, I'm not a big affiliate fan because in the past I haven't gotten 90% of the money promised either because they disappear before they pay out or they have so many exceptions -- paying out once a quarter, has to be over X dollars first, etc. Another negative side is that some of them think that 10% commission or some low amount is worth the 20 hours it takes for us to sell it.
