It really is that simple and yet so many still fail. They falter slightly or don't get the instant success that they crave and they give up! So many of us seem locked in this cycle and will give up and buy new guru offers time and time again. So where does it go wrong?
We get distracted - We're far too easily distracted. It's hard to admit but it's true. We buy a new ebook or course and think that this is our path to riches. Then a few days later our mailbox gets swamped with the next great offer and we succumb to it. The former path to glory now lies in ruins and will gather cyber dust with the others that we've bought and forgotten. Gurus and their affiliates are quite within their rights to offer you the next big thing - and they'd rather you'd buy that then focus. Look for someone committed to your future not your wallet.
We catch the learning bug - This is when the insatiable hunger for more training and the latest product takes over as you buy and devour them at an alarming rate. The problem is that most online guru training sells you hope not results! This means that they are quickly forgotten as we move on to our next digital fix.
It's too easy to quit - When the going gets tough the tough give up according to those trying to make a living online. I think it's a psychological problem that we don't actually beleive that online success is possible and therefore take the slightest failure such as the lack of traffic after a single article as proof of this negative thought. If we were given not only a blueprint but also step-by-step instructions backed up by support that we could beleive in then our chances of success would be greatly improved.
We fail to follow up the plan with the necessary action - To get success online you need to have a plan and then take all the action necessary to fully implement it. That may seem obvious but if you aren't prepared to invest the required time and effort you will inevitably fail again and again leaving you open to those quick fix scams.
It really isn't our fault because everything you've been told about affiliate marketing is wrong! We need to stop being lead around like sheep and start taking action and responsibility.
The route to succes is actually surprisingly simple.
1. Choose a product to promote - I'm going to recommend one but feel free to choose something else.
2. Read it through twice. The second time take notes of what steps you need to take and what else you need.
3. Create a detailed plan of what you need to do. The keyword is detailed - break this down further into a task list.
4. There are many different approaches you can now take. Either start at the top of the list, start with some easy tasks or tackle them in a mixture of the other two. The important thing is that you keep going and get those tasks crossed off.
5. Whenever you have some free time do a task.
6. Keep on going until the list is complete.
7. Make sure you celebrate those landmarks such as the first sign up to an autoresponder and that first sale.
