2008-09-16 It is easy for affiliate marketers to fall into pitfalls.
Some can be really costly for you in terms of your profits. So what are the 3 Biggest Mistakes most affiliates make? 1. Choosing the wrong affiliate product Some affiliates jump on the bandwagon and start promoting every single hot product. Yes, some of them are great products, like Jason Jame's Untold Marketing Secrets, Eric's Affiliate Rockstar Status and Chris's Day Job Killer. But it can be sickening to receive tons of emails promoting the same product with the same sales pitch. Some affiliates do not even bother to change the email sales letter. Pick a product that you are passionate about. And make extra effort to differentiate yourself from other affiliates. You may want to look at these few. 2. Joining one too many affiliate programs Many affiliates chase after the newest affiliate programs. The internet is full of new stuff so you can never catch up with all of them. While it is good to have multiple streams of income, it is difficult to promote all at the same time and you end up losing focus. It is always good to concentrate on one great program and promote it with your best efforts. Once the results are good, set it on autopilot/semi-autopilot mode and move on to the next. 3. Not buying the product or service Your task as an affiliate is to convince your prospects to buy your product. To do that, you need to know it inside out. It is always good to try out the product or service and when you love what you see, promote it as a living testimony. There is greater persuasion in your promotion efforts.

affiliate marketing. But I thought this is something refreshing to know. From the many famous affiliate marketers I have come across, there are 4 positive habits which all successful affiliates have: 1. Income Goal Setting Set an income goal with milestones in-between. If you want to earn a $6000/mth income in one year's time, target to increase your earnings by $500 each month. Most affiliates do not set a realistic income goal. Without this, there is no way you can spur yourself on and to measure your progress. So if you are not doing so, then your success can be limited. 2. Investing In Learning Invest in learning new affiliate marketing techniques. Attend seminars, participate in forums like KeywordAvalanche and WarriorForum or buy a good ebook to read. There is always something new to pick up. Sometime back, I wanted to learn the art of blogging for income badly and so I got a copy of Rob Benwell's Blogging To The Bank 2.0. The result was a more than 200% jump in my online income. 3. Investing In Good Tools Invest your earnings into good tools that can multiply your business. Online businesses are the same as offline businesses. Ploughing part of your earnings back into your affiliate marketing business would grow your income exponentially. 4. Apply What You Learn The most successful affiliates are not always the most knowledgeable ones. They are the ones who put action to what they learnt. Cultivate these habits and you are set for a lifetime of unstoppable income!
