Two Basic affiliate marketing secrets

By Samo Yanezic

These two basic affiliate marketing secrets will help you enormously (if followed) in your affiliate business. I am mentioning these rules under affiliate heading, but due to their general nature, they are applicable in every field of human activity.

Secret one: Take action. Stop hoping that having a magic product will solve your indecision. There isn't anything magical, in fact. Only your hard work and perseverance, as well as your knowledge about your business, will help you be successful. And that knowledge will come to you simply by means of experience and by staying with it.

Another point to make is that of course, there's a lot of theory, and you need that when it comes to affiliate marketing, too. However, you need practical application and information as much as you need theory. You need to be able to, again, take action.

It's been said that sometimes, high school students have actually committed suicide in various parts of the world where a lot is taught, but there's not much given on application. That doesn't have to be you.

If you keep doing, if you keep trying and experimenting with different things, you'll create your own gold mine of knowledge, and THAT is gold.

I will give an example: many years ago I decided to go and live in a deep forest for one month and see what will happen to me. I learned on my skin that it is very hard to survive if you are alone. This, of course, is an accepted and well known fact, but the difference is that I`ve learned it by trying it. And this changed me more than all the schools.

Simply put, of course you need to learn, but also take action. Sometimes, you need to take action in order TO learn. If you have a good balance of both, you'll learn what you need to know to become a successful marketer.

The second basic secret when it comes to affiliate marketing is that you have to keep POSITIVE. One of the things about affiliate marketing that's always going to be true is that it can be frustrating sometimes. However, you can't quit when you get frustrated. Every successful marketer has been frustrated. You will be, too. However, the frustration can't make you give up. It should only encourage you to try harder.

Therefore, when you encounter problems, don't make excuses or give up. Instead, find solutions. In general, you're not going to have to "make up a solution," because there's already one out there. All you have to do is look for it. (There's a saying that a problem is only a problem if there is a solution to it. Without solutions, there are no problems to begin with. This is true of affiliate marketing, too.)

Make this instead: when facing a problem, mentally create another problem of comparable magnitude. And then another one and another one. Just continue to create problems till the original (real) problem vanish as a problem. At the end you should feel also a great relief and your capability in this area will be restored.

Best of luck to you. You can do it! - 20769
