5 deadly mistakes to avoid when starting your Affiliate Marketing Business.

5 deadly mistakes to avoid when starting your Affiliate Marketing Business.

These mistakes will cause you a whole lots of worries and could potentially lead you to give up on the business.


1. CARING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK.


This is the number 1 factor for me because I also struggled with this.

Most people don't place value on selling. They see SELLING as begging people for money so when you tell them your business is about selling online...

They tend to give you some negative reactions and you wouldn't want that.

This would come mostly from family and friends and here's the shocker:

It's not because they don't love you. It's because they do.

But little do they know that if you can learn how to SELL...you can earn more than most lawyers... teachers... doctors... and even government officials.

So when that happens...don't argue or take it personally. Just go on with your business.

When the success starts raining in... they'll be your number 1 fan.


2. HAVING A “GET RICH QUICK” MENTALITY

This is a disaster itself. You've seen most people flash a screenshot of their earnings in your face and be thinking...

"If I just start the business today.... within 2 weeks I'm already cashing out."Lol??

weldon oo cashout master ??

While that is possible for some...there are factors they would have in place to get their results within that short time.

Again...it's a BUSINESS.

You don't start a business today and start earning from it the next day.

Have the mindset that "Anything great takes time".

The longer that would take depends on your Commitment.


3. NOT SETTING GOALS.

What goals do you aim to achieve with the business?

What time do you ain to achieve them?

I remember when I got the 72IG Training Program and we were asked to write a letter to ourselves stating our goals with the business.

Of course...I didn't realize the importance then so I didn't do it. Later… I realized that a man without a goal is the blindest of the blinds.

Even much worse for a businessman.

You need clear written goals for your business stating WHAT YOU AIM TO ACHIEVE and WHEN.


And most importantly....set actionable steps to achieve them and work on them every day.

4. RUSHING INTO SELLING WITHOUT LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING IT.

The issue with most newbies into the business is they get started today and start promoting products.

I can tell because I was one of them. Without full understanding and knowledge of how to recommend products...I was pumped up about the business and started promoting it.

The results? A big fat ugly ZERO (0). No sales at all. Would you say that's surprising?

Of course not. There are skills and steps you need to understand before promoting a product. Not knowing them before promoting is a big mistake.

Don't make it.


5. LACK OF FOCUS AND CONSISTENCY.

A young man approached Bill Gates... Warren Buffet and Bill Gates Senior while they were dining in a restaurant and asked:

"Of all the attributes to achieve success...which is the most important?".

All three men turned back and said "FOCUS".

That's how powerful and necessary it is to achieve success in your business or any business even.

Without focus...success can't be achieved.


Focus is giving ultimate attention...dedication and Commitment to a particular goal and never giving up on it until the goal is achieved.

And then Consistency can't be overemphasized.

You need to be consistent with whatever activities you're doing in your business.

You have to keep showing up every day.


So as a quick recap:


5 mistakes to avoid when Starting your Affiliate Marketing Business

1. Caring about what other people think.
