4 Sure Tips You are Missing Out in Your Journey To Success In Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing

Success in Affiliate marketing has been a thought of many for years. Thinking and doing, but doubt and experiences of many people telling stories have discouraged many since they enter and leave the venture after some time.

Why? Lacking focus, doubting and being impatient due to longing of fast success and in this case I have seen and heard a lot of people   enter and leave affiliating programs and networks. In the same their stories are usually similar and congruent with of any predecessor in affiliate marketing.

Many marketers begin by reading either an eBook or hearing a success story of one engaging in a certain product or reading an inspiring blog and for the first few days, weeks or months, they’re really keen about making sure they succeed at generating a decent income online.

This Sykes them up to put a lot of energy on the venture putting in  a lot of different ideas from different bloggers, eBooks and other sources in the verge to succeed like someone else did .This is done  thinking that in some few days  or weeks one gonna succeed with millions of dollars and become another success story altogether.

But when reality sets in afterwards they realize that success in Affiliate marketing needs time, patience, investment and determination and that it’s not as easy as glorified eBook, blog or success story made it to look.

After reality sets in  the individual either decide that they really don’t want online success that easily and can wait for that success if  it will come by or feels like  the success probably can’t come their way  and he/she is not the one  to make it in affiliate marketing rather it was meant for others. The rather makes one to leave the idea forever not to turn back to it.

So in the long run most people rarely hit their goals. Many people gives affiliate marketing the seriousness it deserves at the start but on the way loose the determination and patience hence don’t seem to succeed making starters to fear due not having great success stories to motivate them to start the venture in question.

Sometimes it’s very discouraging when one invests a lot in something but afterwards never to succeed as intended but this happens to many people who venture into affiliate marketing and if you are one of these people and want to succeed in affiliate marketing, then there are 3 sure things and practices you need to put in mind.

The journey may not be as smooth as thought but advise is success cannot come overnight so one has to be determined and patience as well as do the right  things  to succeed in this venture and surely  with faith success is around that corner and it gonna come your way soon or later.

There are those individuals who want success overnight (that is quicker success and I am actually one of them. In this regard, there are a few things you can do that will really accelerate your success and make sure that it happens before your focus and determination fades away.

And the 4 things I’m talking about in this post are the things I’ve used myself to accelerate my success in online and affiliate marketing and I have seen them working well.

  1. Choose a good & a Relevant Mentor
  2. Be Determined, Patient and Set realistic Goals
  3. Commit and involve yourself fully
  4. Walk with good & positive friends
  1. Choose a good & a Relevant mentor

Many may wonder what this mentor thing is? What is the relationship between mentor and affiliate marketing? A mentor is a person or individual who is well versed with a certain area(in this context affiliate marketing) who has done it and  is willing to share both negative and positive experiences in the field. See also who is a mentor?

So for one to be referred as the mentor should have the ability to share, empower someone to work on his/her own and ability to guide and assist one to reach full potential (succeed in affiliate marketing)

Having a mentor is something that’s made a huge impact in my life. Before I got one, I gambled a lot trying to do this and that and ended up doing everything. But once I found a mentor, I became a lot more focused, more determined, patient as well as started seeing things in a different perspective and I see it working perfectly.

Through a mentor I discovered that hope and focus are the biggest pillars that one needs to work towards not losing. Having someone to give you expert advice in the area, willing and able to listen and advice as well as giving you power to succeed in something made my self-belief to grow stronger and stronger (and still does).

Are there Good Mentors really ?

Finding a good mentor is hard and expensive nowadays because most people who are good at something are too busy to spend their lives helping others do the same thing if they are not getting a dime from the mentoring thing. So if you can find someone who has willingness and ability to struggle with you, then you must be very lucky and look after them.

But again in the process of finding a mentor be careful and on the lookout not to fall into bad hands of Also, beware of the impressionists. These are people who don’t really mentor.

Their aim is to make a coin by use of innocent online marketing starters. You will find them in different forums and Facebook Groups, giving out information in a way suggesting, they have made it in life even though they’ve never made a sale or earn anything in the field they purport to be expert in.

These are not the people to learn from but study mentors to be closely before you start the journey otherwise it may be a very discouraging venture altogether.

2. Be Determined, Patient and Set realistic Goals

Don’t give yourself a massive target in a short timeline. We are all always very ambitious to give ourselves great timelines which put us in a great unmanageable pressure. We often use statements like “By next year, I’m going to make $10000.” And use it to build my home’’ as much as it is a positive thought,

I don’t think it is a realistic thing to put yourself into especially for a starter in a new venture. This is because if you don’t make it in the given timelines one will feel even worse about your situation.

I choose to use the following encouraging statements

  1. “Don’t worry my fellow countrymen, we’ll overcome this pandemic by May”
  2. “My fellow countrymen, we don’t know when we’ll overcome this pandemic but we are going to eventually                                                  

I tend to compare the two statements and suggest that the second one is more positive than the first one due to the realistic nature of the statements.

From the first statement, once May come to an end, the people will be disappointed that they will give up because of setting unrealistic goal.

Those who bank on the second statement will just keep the faith alive until that day comes when all shall be well. Actually that’s the attitude, faith and determination that is needed here to keep you moving towards the success. Therefore if one keeps on moving eventually you will be there as far as affiliate marketing is concerned.

But anyway, there are those who don’t want to wait for so long, that is the impatient ones who want to get there quicker. Then you need to read this

3. Commit and involve yourself fully

In anything, hard workers have the last laugh. Involving yourself yourself in the world of online and affiliate marketing is going to make your journey a lot easier. When you’re thinking about it all the time and putting all your energy in it, you will eventually succeed in anything you are doing.

This can only work easier for you if you find a good forum that’s full of people who can help you achieve your goals, targets and objective. Constantly read more books, listen to audio programs, and chat to people on instant messenger about this stuff before you start engaging fully in any venture.

Commitment also means that get to know all what you need in affiliate marketing, like knowing the best products to affiliate,which affiliates pays well,how to become an affiliate, as well as issues like need to have affiliate marketing software like this one here to track all your affiliate networks.

Involving yourself will make you know the positives and negatives you are likely to encounter in your journey ahead so as to be aware of them and prepare so that they don’t come to you as a surprise which might discourage you.

If you can do these vital things, you’ll virtually guarantee your success in anything you do not necessarily only in affiliate marketing but any other niche you choose to venture in.

4.  Walk with good & positive friends

Succeeding in affiliate marketing isn’t a toll order. It’s the influences that really stop people from achieving what they want in life. And one of the things are the people you surround yourself with.

To start with, take a look at your current situation. Think about the people in your life that influence you the most and compare their situations to yours. Chances are you have a lot in common or you are better than them.

There’s a quote that says show me your friends and I will tell you your character. Actually if you want to know about someone, you just need to know their friends. Friends are likely to advice you otherwise either positively or negatively when you want to start a new venture.

But it does come to a point when you have to decide who you’re going to be and what you need to do to get there. And one of the things you might want to do is to spend less time with people who are dragging you down and more time with people who will pull you up so as to achieve what you want. This will assist you to wean yourself off the negative influences in your life for you to succeed.

You may be having friends who you would be better off without but it does not mean that you go leave them but make them good or find new friends that are good role models and have positive influences on your life. What you need to do instead is find a new bunch of people to hang around with whom you have common thinking on anything you want to undetake.

When you start hanging around people who are successful at what you want to do then your conversations will naturally turn to that topic giving you more ideas for success.

A lot of my good friends nowadays are on internet marketing purely because that’s the world we are in and in fact the future is online marketing. I spend a lot of time working on this stuff and it’s good to have other people to share my experiences with as well as learn from theirs. Learning never ends.

Leave me a comment about today’s post and let me know what your thoughts are about it and I am also open to any experience I would learn from you.
