You’ve been at this affiliate marketing thing for a while now haven’t you? You were all excited, you knew it could work, and you wanted it to work so badly. You’ve bought a program or two, perhaps a keyword tool and maybe you even belong to a membership site. But your sales are nonexistent or pathetic.
Do you know why most new affiliate marketers fail? Because they get to the point that you are right now and give up. Some of them didn’t have any business trying to start an internet marketing company because they thought it was just a way to make easy money fast. Others are like you. Hard workers but overwhelmed with information that simply can’t be sorted out in any fashion that actually produces results.
It’s a tough place to be and it can be very disheartening. If you’re single then all you have to worry about is yourself and you probably knew the odds when you jumped into this. If you have a family however, you probably feel like you’ve let them down even though you’ve given it your best.
What Happened to The Dream?
Let’s take a minute and see if we can figure out why you are where you are.
In the beginning you probably ran across an email offer that had a spiffy sales letter and maybe even a video pitching how easy it was to make money on “autopilot”. You didn’t bite right away. You hung out in some forums and got an idea from those places what might work and what to stay away from.
And then you found something that you jumped on. Maybe you were unfortunate enough to buy into a program that taught PPC. Shortly thereafter you figured out that PPC was one of the fastest ways to go broke so you tried something else. If you came across one of the more reputable programs that are based on article writing, then you probably struggled putting together articles and getting them posted to ten or more directories.
Still no sales. So you start building backlinks creating web 2.0 sites, you ping every article, you build a half dozen free blogs on blogger, you do all this stuff and still don’t get what you were looking for. You try using a squeeze page and when that doesn’t work you switch to redirects. Then you start to question the product you’re promoting, then the entire niche you have chosen.
Down but not out you change your plan and join a membership site thinking that will finally give you the blueprint for success. It makes perfect sense to hang out with successful marketers and see how they do it. But then you discover they are just as secretive about what they do as the greenest newbie is. You have access to an enormous amount of training material but you are at a loss to make sense of it all. It’s simply overwhelming.
And so here you are, wondering just what you have to do to make this affiliate marketing thing work.
What You Were Missing
Well let’s look at the two things you don’t have.
You don’t have a plan. We’re talking a legitimate plan for a business not step 1 through 5 for how to market an article. You have to know where you want to go and you have to know what you’re going to do to get there.
The other thing you didn’t have is a “boss”. Think about that for a moment. If you had a problem at your day job, if something didn’t go the way it was supposed to, who would you go to for help? Your boss right? And the reason you go to him or her is because he or she knows the business better than you if for no other reason than they’ve been in it longer and have more experience.
So who could you turn to when you had a question about affiliate marketing? Did you post your question in a forum and have some other newbie answer it for you? Were you ever able to talk to someone you knew had the experience to get help? How much easier would your journey have been if you had the confidence that what you were doing was going to work. How much more confidence would you have had if a proven marketer told you that you were on the right track?
Where You Can Get It
So you didn’t have a business plan and you didn’t have a “boss”.
What if you could get both? What if you could get a proven business “blueprint” and scheduled real time contact with a professional affiliate marketer to answer your questions? What if you could have a real, sustainable affiliate business in six months? What if you could say goodbye to your day job and hello to a viable home based business?
Enter James Martell
This guy is not your typical high hype internet guru. In fact his story will probably sound remarkably like yours.
James started in affiliate marketing over ten years ago and he started at the same place you did knowing little to nothing as to how it works but confidant that it he worked hard enough it would. He was fortunate to have a friend to serve as his “boss” to answer his questions and quickly built a part time venture into a successful internet business that makes him a healthy income and provides all the benefits of owning your own shop.
Want to know how?
Okay that was meant as a tease to get you to watch his video. It’s five minutes long and I’ll guarantee it will be the most informative five minute video you watch today. This is the solution, the blueprint that makes sense.
And the reason that it makes sense is because it treats your business as a total business not just focusing on one part. There is a proven business plan that gives you the confidence of knowing where you are going and just how you are going to get there.
And if you hit a roadblock along the way, you’ve got scheduled live interaction with the man himself. In short, you get everything you’ve been missing up to now.
If you don’t do anything else today to further your business, watching this video will make the day worthwhile. This could be your new beginning.
