Vital Qualifications Needed to Become an Affiliate Marketer
Vital Qualifications Needed to Become an Affiliate Marketer
TENS OF THOUSANDS of people are making money online daily in the business of Affiliate Marketing. The good news is that you can do the same thing. This is a Billion Dollar Industry and there is plenty of money to go around to everyone who enters this business SMARTLY.
What do I mean enter this business smart? I mean that, many come in this business and many more have failed One of the biggest reasons why people fail online, other than traffic generation is that they do not have the VITAL QUALIFICATIONS to succeed.
The lure of Affiliate Marketing is that you can get in this business and free yourself from a boss, you can make a ton of money easily, and you can work from home. All of these basic qualities are true but, you still need to have the QUALIFICATIONS to succeed. Ill list them here for you.
You have to Want To Learn
First off, to come in this business without any training and expect to make millions is pretty much like jumping in the river without a life jacket. If you learned how to swim you will be fine but, if you were never trained to swim, you will drown.
This is a learning business. You need to find a great program on Affiliate Marketing (check the site below for the program I personally use) and once you find a program on this business you must be willing to learn it and be open to being trained. This information is something you need to soak in and be able to duplicate. This is not going to be a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME. You are not going to get in today and make money in 1 hr, unless you’re just really lucky. NOTE: Most advertisements are just to pull you in.
You must be Willing to Work
This is the second qualification and the most important to me. You have to be willing to invest time into making your business grow. Now, the great thing is you don’t need to work 12 hours a day to make it work. The Top Affiliate Marketers I know work maybe 2-4 hours a day to make 5 digits or more monthly. It is Important to know in this business don’t expect immediate results. This business is more like a train… Once it gets moving IT REALLY MOVES.
You must be Willing to Wait
Like I said earlier you must be willing to wait on it to work. This means that you must put in the work and be determined to make it work. You cannot stop. You must continue even without seeing visible results. Even, if it took you a year to build it to $ 5000.00 a month would it be worth it?
You just be disciplined to work on your home based business and stay optimistic. With a good attitude you will make it. Then afterwards you will be a Super Affiliate and you will be able to kick back and enjoy your life.

The Internet Marketer – The One Thing You Need To Create Passive Income and Earn Money Online – Pt 8
On our journey to become an internet marketer, so far we have explored the concept of niches, keywords and how they relate to the information people are searching for and I have shown some free, useful tools to explore the demographics of the buyers for that market. Put simply:
1/ Find a market that has buyers who are willing to buy to satisfy their needs.
2/ Know just who your buyers are. Age, income, education, interests.
3/ Create and/or promote a product which fills one or more of the needs of those buyers.
In this article we will be looking at two more ways to gauge interest in a niche. Just as computer memory is expanding exponentially, so are the possibilities of the internet. These changes occur every day and they are distracting from the focus to earn money online. Which is not to say that we should ignore the advances that are being made, but rather that we should be aware that not every new bright bauble is absolutely essential to our quest.
I have spoken previously about the many emails which find their way to your inbox once you commence to show an interest in making money online. Suddenly, offers of new, must have ebooks, software, concepts and loopholes appear like clockwork in your inbox. My advice is to find one person you find interesting and has a good reputation and receive his emails. Unsubscribe from everyone else. Believe me, if something revolutionary appears, you will hear about it.
These emails often set off an autoresponder series which sends you emails every few days. There is a marketing saying that the sale is not made until the seventh offer. Autoresponders are one of the ten or so major developments in the actual business of selling something to somebody in the last ten years. They allow marketers to present their offers to their double opt-in list over and over again. Without a doubt, emails to a targeted list, sell. So much so that it becomes statistically useful to work out how much each name on your list is worth each month. That reliable!
Like memory, emails have exploded exponentially. Seemingly an allegory to the old saying that “work expands to fill the time available”.
Just quickly, there have only been around a dozen or so revolutionary developments in internet selling in the last ten years. In no particular order:
1/ Autoresponders.
2/ Online auctions, especially eBay.
3/ Paypal.
4/ Pay Per Click advertising.
5/ The rise of social networking such as Facebook and Twitter and their siblings.
6/ Blogs.
7/ DIY websites and shopping carts.
8/ Live chat.
9/ Streaming audio and video.
There may be others, but , whatever.
To further research into the market activity of a niche. Go to Amazon. Choose “books’ from the drop-down menu and type in your niche and search. Check the number of results. Greater than 150 is encouraging. There is considerable activity in this niche. Now choose “movies and TV” from the drop-down menu. Once again check the number of results. More than 25 is good. If the niche meets either of these criteria, then people are interested.
One further site that gives an excellent indication of the activity and actual buying within a niche is eBay. To be banal, people are buying and selling on ebay all the time! What better place to use to gauge activity and competition? The difference is that this time we are going to type in a far more generic niche to get the most related results. So if your niche is mp3 meditation downloads, start with meditation to get a feel of what the market is offering and, most importantly, buying.
In the left hand pane of the screen, scroll down from “refine search” and click on “All categories”. This will show you how many books, dvds, movies, television and downloads relate to your niche. Now go to sales and type in “completed sales” and scan down the list of completed sales for products relating to your niche. You can swiftly gauge how many sales are being made, what is selling and for how much! This sort of information is priceless, and crucial, when you begin selling or promoting your products.
Spend some time playing with these tools and analyzing the results to further refine your decision on what you are creating or promoting. Taking action is essential for the internet marketer. You cannot follow a plan without taking action. Without action you are just reading a novel and imagining being able to earn money online.
You need a plan to achieve your purpose. You need to take action on that plan. Get a plan. Follow it.
Kindness is more important than wisdom.
