Affiliate Marketing is a great way to earn extra money. No doubt about it. Especially given the fact that, unlike Network Marketing, there isn’t any need to spend time on developing relationships and teaching people how to duplicate your success. But here’s the bummer.
Unless you’re prepared to spend the time and money to learn how to become a hugely successful Affiliate, then you are not going to earn any great fortunes from it. In truth, no matter which form of marketing you want to go in for, there is a necessary learning curve before you start earning any real money.
Those who think they simply have to find the right product, or the right programme, and the money will start flowing are living in cloud cuckoo land. And it’s a pretty expensive place to live, let me tell you!
When you keep shelling out cash looking for the ‘right’ product/programme to make you rich, it doesn’t take long before you begin to think that it’s a waste of time and every product out there is just another scam. In truth, if this is what you’re doing, then you’re the one scamming yourself.
The fact is that most products available on the Internet, are full of really great information. Information that can help you earn all the extra money you want. But you have to implement what they tell you. And this is where you earn the money, not from selling them on as an affiliate.
If you’re expecting to strike it rich by signing up for a product that promises to show you how to earn extra money, and then, because there’s an affiliate programme associated with that product, you immediately start implementing a promotion campaign instead of studying and applying the teachings first, you are fooling yourself.
And it’s easy to do. We’ve probably all done it when we first started out. A lot of times, the product owners make it seem like that’s the right thing to do. As soon as you’ve signed up, you’re told that you can start earning some extra money by directing others to youraffiliateurl.com and how easy it will be.
Bang goes your focus. Instead of taking the time to read, study and apply what you’ve just bought, you’re back on the treadmill of trying to sell something else – you’ve just signed up to another affiliate product that will make you neither richer or wiser.
Do yourself a favour. Check through all the affiliate products you’ve bought already and have tried to make money from. Now set aside some time and actually go through them and read them. If you’ve bought a product on generating traffic, go put it to use and generate some traffic to your own website instead of to your affiliate site.
If you own Magnetic Sponsoring, and haven’t read it because you’ve been too busy promoting it ( 
) go read it right now. Watch your commissions skyrocket once you start to actually implement what Mike teaches you in there!
The more you learn, the more you earn. It really is that simple. If you just applied a tiny fraction of all the stuff you’ve acquired your ability to sign up new people into your business, sell more products, generate more leads, drive more traffic … will ultimately be the key to you earning more money.
None of The Insiders got to be successful Magnetic Sponsoring affiliates simply by buying the book and then trying to persuade others to do the same! In fact, to quote Mike himself:
…in order to become “magnetic”, you must increase your value to others through education and experience
