3 Mistakes You Are Making Right Now with Affiliate Marketing!

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest cash producing systems there are in the world. But some people lack the fundamentals of affiliate marketing.

Chances are darn good that you are at least making 1 of the 3 mistakes I'm about to list here. If you find yourself making one or all of them, fix it...seeing that they can cost you a lot of lost commissions.

Mistake #1 - The "Get Rich Quick Scheme" Mindset

If you are thinking that you can get rich overnight or within a few days simply because some other guru told you it's possible, you are in for a serious shock. I have been in this industry for just more than 2 years. It might not be that long compared to others, but one thing that I did learn is that there is no such thing as "getting rich quick".

Those programs are bogus so never ever follow them. If a guru tells you that you can make money online with his program, but doesn't claim how long...then there are more legitimacy to it. Those people who tell you "make $1000 in 24 hours" are all scammers. I tried it all and all of them failed.

So stop thinking "quick" and start thinking "long term profit". You are suppose to build yourself an affiliate marketing BUSINESS that can generate thousands.

Mistake #2 - Not building a subscriber base.

Most affiliates simply slap up a website and think they are going to make thousands. While that can happen if it's a very good and popular website, one thing that should never be left off the table is a subscriber list.

You need to funnel your website traffic so that they sign up for a free course or e-newsletter and by doing that you get them into your subscriber list. This will enable you to market to them over and over. Not only will this increase your overall profits by a staggering sum, but it will also generate serious repeat traffic as well as loyalty towards your website.

Mistake #3 - Going Loco with your promotion efforts

SO many affiliates make this mistake and they are losing potential thousands of dollars in commissions. What is it? They simply promote too many products on their website! Don't fall into this trap...ever. When building a website, you are obviously adding content to your site each day. The most important thing is that you concentrate on selling only 1 or 2 products on your site.

Obviously it's going to be more difficult only concentrating on 1 or 2 products if your website is about PC's or Printers. In that case you need to give several options. But if your website is about helping people with acne, you seriously need to consider removing all other affiliate products and only push one. It will really help you increase your monthly income to new heights.
