Affiliate Marketing Training -- Is Online Business For You?

Affiliate Marketing training is not about helping you select the HOT program, signing up, and checking your bank account. Initially, it is all about YOU and what you will need to bring to the table in order to join the ranks of successful Internet Marketers. A typical training series may well start out, "In the coming weeks, you will ...."

First, if your reaction to "in the coming weeks" is, "c'mon, cut to the chase and show me the money", ... you probably cannot be helped, because ... The Magic Pill Does Not Exist! Your earning potential on the Internet is limited only by your willingness to consistently take positive action. If you charge off like Indiana Jones in search of the Magic Pill to Riches, well, hopefully you like fantasies that don't have a happy ending. Learn, strictly follow your plan, be consistent, don't get distracted, and you will become one of the Success Stories!

Let's establish obtainable goals

* You want to attain financial security.

* You want total control of your business.

* You do not want your business to envelop your life.

* You want to be proud of what you have accomplished.

* You want to help other people succeed.

You are reading this because you probably fall into 1 of 3 categories:

* You are EXPLORING entering the field of online marketing and wish to achieve the above stated goals.

* You have ENTERED the field of Internet marketing, but are getting frustrated in trying to achieve these goals.

* You have ESTABLISHED a successful business model with another product, have it on virtual autopilot, and are looking to reinvest your time into another potential stream of income.

If you are a 1 or 2, you need what 3 has ... an established, successful, business model. To do that, you must follow a focused, organized, step by step plan. In spite of all the extravagant promises you will see as you explore possibilities, the fact remains that your success will be determined by your consistent commitment to reaching your goals, one step at a time.

Your Timing Could Not Be Better ....

World wide, online sales are currently estimated at 600 billion dollars per year, and increasing dramatically. Your $100k per year is waiting for you, but you'll never grab it maintaining a shotgun approach and hoping for the best.

But what about those bank statements that you see showing $400 per day in sales? Well, most of them are probably true. And, those sales may well have been generated by that particular product. However, what you aren't told about is the rock solid business plan/marketing strategy that this person has developed over months, or even years, depending upon the amount of time and commitment that was available.

As an example, if you were planning on preparing a wonderful 5 course dinner for some very special guests, would you not agree that intimate knowledge of each menu item would be necessary to accomplish your goal?

In order to become a successful Internet marketer, the same is true. Each component of your business plan must be completely developed and set in motion before your profits will explode.

Are we talking about those 2 four letter words .... Hard Work???

Yep, and we also need to throw in time, consistency, organization, goal orientation, some money, and determination. Don't move towards the "page close" key yet. Here are some words that will make all of the above worthwhile: fun, challenging, personally rewarding, own boss, freedom, network/friend building, and most of all, financial security NOW and for the future.

Unlike our example above, where making money by applying culinary skills can involve considerable time and expense for training, as an Internet marketer, each step that you add to your business model will create income for you exponentially. The more that you consistently put in, the greater your long term rewards.

You will find ebook and FREE offers available virtually every day. Many are a source for good information and perhaps a potential profit generator. Then again, some are not. Always remember the mantra ... "Take the Best and leave the Rest". Focus on those available tools that will help you TODAY, not kinda, sorta, maybe down the road.

You're going to have more "new best friends" than you know what to do with. You must become very selfish with your valuable time. If you have committed 3 hours to work on your business, don't waste 1 hour opening emails and chasing websites that sound interesting. Save them for future viewing and accomplish your daily projects first.

While you're business is growing, you probably will purchase something that doesn't work out. Be thorough, ask yourself if this product will help you now, or does it just seem too good to pass up. We have ALL frittered away money. But always remember, you can recover lost money, but you can never recover lost time!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of developing an online business is the amount of creativity that you can use. There are no set methods for developing opt-in lists, advertising, search engine optimization, etc. Find a program or product that really interests you. Conduct a search and read what people have to say about it. Ask about it in forums. Set on it, get over the hype, and look again. If you're still excited ... go for it. Success will NOT come to you ... you MUST take action!

It is certainly helpful to mimic successful marketers, but you will find that your growth will be much greater IF you strive to understand exactly how all of the pieces fit together in order to make the whole. Be a student at all times, not someone else's employee.

Success in your online business is achieved in the same manner as a "brick and mortar" business ... Learn ... Develop ... Apply. Your success will be determined to a great extent by what is "between your ears". There is absolutely no need to re-invent the wheel ... After all, it is Your Story ... begin writing it.!
