Not All Affiliate Products Are Created Equal

This article was actually taken from my old blog that I sold away last year. I think the content is still relevant, that’s why I decided to republish the article. Sometimes people quit too early in their affiliate marketing journey. It might happen because they were not seeing any result instantly.

Actually, I believe there’s 2 main reasons why people don’t make money as an affiliate marketer.

1. They’re still in their learning curve phase.
Like everything else in life, you’ve got to spend some time to be familiar with your tools.
If you’re planning to make a living online, you should stop spending too much money on ebooks and let them collect digital dust. Stop being an affiliate newbie by choice and doing endless reading. Why not just try out what you have learn and tweak whatever that doesn’t seem right along the way? You might see a sale here and there. Don’t you think that would be a better way to keep your passion stay strong?

2. There’s something wrong with the product
Even Gobala Krishnan have a hard time to promote one of the products he is endorsing – Aweber! I was very surprised when he mentioned that he just got his first affiliate cheque from Aweber, after promoting it for almost 2 years! Before you say he is lousy, you need to know that Gobala is a well known affiliate marketer in Malaysia. He even ordered a review from John Chow to promote his instant wordpress template the other day. Just imagine, if Gobala were only promoting Aweber autoresponder in his entire online marketing journey, I don’t think he can even afford the $400 for his review on John Chow’s blog.

I think you would love this because I am going to introduce you guys to Cody Moya. He is a well known (and wealthy) affiliate marketer. He is currently offering free access to his Internet Marketing Courses. I know you might need to spend thousands of dollars for a similar course elsewhere. So, grab it before Cody Moya change his mind!

So, do you consider yourself as an affiliate marketer? Do you have any specific tips to share on how to overcome affiliate marketing learning curve? I’d love to know

p/s: You might want to try GetResponse to start your email marketing campaigns, it’s probably the best autoresponder because I use GetResponse for my marketing project, and I love them!
