The Easiest Ways To Ensure That Your Home Based Business Or Affiliate Program Does Not Fail

By Russell Howe


If you were to read any Avon or Empower Network review today, you could be forgiven for believing that being your own boss on the internet is actually pretty easy. That's because it's tough to find legitimate information on internet marketing without merely finding sales pitches.

The latest statistics reveal that over ninety percent of entrepreneurs are unsuccessful.

Why is this? Well,there are four main reasons and they are shown below:

* Most affiliates don't know how to effectively run a business.

* No support from those around you.

* General negativity when things don't work out quickly enough.

* Lack of consistency.

If someone is able to eliminate all four items on the list above, then they are usually on the road to success within their chosen affiliate program. Usually, though, at least one of the items above will prove to be the marketer's downfall. [

Let's take a look at each rule in more depth:

* A lack of understanding on how to operate a business.

This stems from the fact that the internet makes it possible for literally anybody to join an affiliate program and earn an income. Most of the people getting involved in these programs have little past experience in the business world and lack the advertising or marketing knowledge to succeed.

* Friends tend to be very negative about working on the internet.

The first time you tell your family and friends that you have ambitions to make money online you are likely to be faced with a barrage of insults about being a dreamer and a lazy person. That's because the internet is synonymous with the get rich quick scheme. Of course, these are not real and anyone who makes a full time income via the internet has to work incredibly hard for it. You shouldn't let this initial negative reaction get you down, because it can put you on a path to failure.

* Affiliates generally quit in the early stages of developing a business idea.

There is a six month rule in the business world. If somebody can make it six months, they have shown that they have what it takes to succeed. Most affiliate marketers can not do this. They become stressed out if they don't see any results within the first three months and quit on themselves. Then they find another business and repeat the process again. If you want to reach success you need to be prepared to work at it into the long term.

* Very few affiliates marketers are consistent with their efforts to build their brand.

Stemming from the last point, a lack of consistency is very common among internet marketers. While they are keen at the start, their efforts tend to tail off after just a few short weeks before ending completely shortly afterwards. Your life is a long term thing, so any attempts to change it must also be long term. No great empire was built in a short space of time. You can eliminate this common problem by simply taking the time to write a business plan before you start. That way, you can hold yourself accountable for reaching your goals and treat your business like the long term opportunity it is.

If you are able to be one of the very few entrepreneurs who can take charge of the four steps above and use them to your advantage, you will greatly improve your chances of success. These issues exist in companies ranging from Empower Network to Avon, right across to board.
