What mistakes to avoid .
There are things I would do differently if I was just starting out as an affiliate .
1 Not Buy into multiple programs
2 Thinking I can startand make money from jump
3 Jumping on webinar after
4 stay away from pyramids
Affiliate marketing isn’t as easy as how people make it out to be .
I was under the impression that people making money would give me the blue print .
Well that theory proved to be wrong .
In this blog post I am going to be giving tips to help new comers avoid the fads and position themselves for growth .
As a New comer 7 plus years ago I was enticed by affiliates making money .
I Automatically assumed that I can make 10 k per month like my coaches .
Lets get into some tips
The ugly side
I brought into several affiliate programs thinking I was going to get the blue print only to be teased with information.
upselling systems Are horrible .You buy into a program only to be upsold continuously .
The sales funnels were like dark tunnels without any light insight And if you didn’t buy in you was made to feel like you was missing out .
Buying leads
Who in their right minds is going to sell an active list of subscribers ?
I used to get excited when other affiliates were selling leads until i figured it out .
I know damn well I am not selling an email list of buyers but I didn’t know any better .
People only sell cold leads ,meaning people who aren’t buying or responding to their emails .
You don’t need a system
What you need to do is to learn and apply yourself. The only marketing strategy that is infinite is giving value .
All affiliate marketing packages have an expiration date .
When People change the marke changes too .
I do think affiliate marketing programs are still beneficial depending on what you want to achieve .
I just don’t like how some of them are structured .
There are very few people promoting and selling affiliate marketing programs that are genuine .
Do your research
If You want to find out about a company google and online communties are your go to source .
Me personally I get weary of marketers promoting on 1 platform all the time .
The world’s best Marketers market across multiple platforms .
I have had a few bad experiences early on in in my career hence why I am so weary .
Do not Copy and paste
All it takes is for 1 person in your upline to run a successful email campaign to and spread the message because that gets every onelse excited .
What ends up happening is that every body uses the same email copy as if every costumer and prospect is the same .
Soon or later people will unsubscribe from your list because they are receiving similiar emails fromothers . You don’t
The repetitive emails make you look like a spammer .

Most affiliates I have encountered like to push their products and services and market in a sheep like fashion .
Doing things like Making outlandish promises just to coerce people into buying something .
Do not be making promises then after you get the sale your treating people like shit .
I have seen it and experienced and it’s unprofessional. I doubt those marketers are still around generating a steady income today .
To this day I wouldn’t buy from certain individuals because of their conduct .
Do not be a marketing hermit
Do not rely on 1 platform for traffic and money . I like to call it territorial marketing where by you think you are the dominant 1 and also get insecure of other marketers .
Being on a single platform your growth is limited .
Second of all your business can collapse because of an algorithm update and lose majority of your traffic over night .
That is a recipe for disaster.
In the grand scheme of things how can you grow your brand if you are relying on one platform. By doing that you are crippling yourself .

Read up on vendors products on click bank and Jvzoo before marketing them
I like Jvzoo and Click affiliate programs because they make it easy to to become an affiliate and they pay you your commission almost instsntly .
The Down side is that some vendors marketing programs are outdated .
Conclusion
All it takes is for one bad review to ruin your reputation . Do ever not make your prospects feel left out .Some affiliates like creating dis-ease by guilting people into buying .
Yes your time is valuable but you still should be sharing an equal amount of value in the market regardless . I do know that there are tire tickers that waste peoples time .
