Why So Many Affiliate Marketers Fail To Make Money Online

By Russ Howe


Affiliate marketing isn't entirely what it seems. From the outside, it's easy to see it as an easy way to make money online. Companies such as Mary Kay or Empower Network are all too keen to boast about how quickly you will be able to build an income from home. This causes many people to make rash decisions which they ultimately regret.

Today, we are going to look at why you shouldn't rush into an affiliate marketing opportunity as well as revealing why most people fail to make it work.

If you have been weighing up which opportunity to join, then it's highly likely you have already encountered many success stories of people who have 'made it good' on the internet. Make no mistake about it, one of the biggest attractions affiliate marketing offers is the ability to create a new financial future without any limits, and it is genuinely achievable.

However, as with most things in life, it isn't as easy as dreaming your way to success.

If you want to go into business for yourself then you need to think the same way you would think out in the real world. You wouldn't start a new business if you didn't have any financial power to begin with. Most affiliate marketers are not in that situation and they are hoping that the opportunity they have discovered is going to act as a golden ticket to success.

If you're in a bad financial position right now, the internet is not the quick solution some people believe it to be.

Ask yourself the same type of questions you would ask if you were dreaming up your own business. What are you trying to achieve? Where do you want to be in two years from now? How much time per day can you actually put towards building your business? Questions like these will help you to get into the correct mindset.

All of the success stories you see online did just that.

Every home business dresses itself up in marketing hype and claims that you will be able to be a part of the biggest company in the history of the internet, a ground floor opportunity which nobody else knows about. That's a marketing tactic they use to get people curious bout the opportunity itself. Once you're in, however, the hard work begins.

For most people, that is where the fun stops and reality hits them quite hard in the face. They suddenly realize that all of the claims about generating an easy income were false. they realize they were misled by all of the hype which told them they'd be able to earn from the efforts of 'the masses' joining after them.

For most people, the mental challenge of becoming their own boss is something they are not expecting and don't feel ready to tackle. The idea of being able to make money online with opportunities like Avon or Empower Network might be very appealing, but in order to actually realize your goals you'll need to be very serious. Otherwise your business will not grow, no matter how much potential income is on the table.
