Having been in MLM and Network Marketing before, my experience is that it is by far easier to make money online with Affiliate Marketing than with MLM.  As I said, this is my experience.  Others may have made or are having different experiences.

What exactly is Affiliate Marketing? It is a revenue sharing business relationship between the affiliate or the member of a program who agrees to promote the products or services, and the merchant or the program owner or founder who offers them.  (e.g. look at GRU or SSF…)

The affiliate advertises the merchant’s products and services and gets a commission for every successful referral. Every time a customer is referred to the merchant’s site, through the affiliate’s efforts, and makes a purchase, the affiliate gets a share of the profit. No payment is due to the affiliate until successful results are realized. Compensation is based on either number of visits (Pay-per-click), registrant (Pay-per-lead), or commission for each sale (Pay-per-sale).

Affiliate Marketers can earn a few bucks to thousands of dollars with affiliate programs. The opportunity to earn in affiliate marketing can only be limited by the affiliate’s determination, creativity and strategy.  It is a brilliant way to earn online. Why?  Because you do not have to produce your own product or service to make a buck.

The more you advertise your merchant’s products, the more you get in return.  Profits in affiliate marketing usually start small but can get larger as the campaign starts to build up steam.  And this may take some time in the beginning.

There are many ways that an affiliate marketer can do to maximize their profits.  If you ask any affiliate marketer how many affiliate checks they would want to receive, they will most likely want to get as many as possible.  Some affiliate checks are small, amounting to nothing more than $25. While others are large and can easily reach the thousands and even more.  Over time, these affiliate checks may build up to a really impressive amount.

However, making a fortune in affiliate marketing is not instant.  Affiliate Marketing is NOT a quick rich scheme, although I admit, sometimes it seems to look like that.

You should put in enough work and effort as well. You have to use your imagination to find more ways to attract more web traffic that can convert to sales for the merchant and profit for you as well.

How many affiliate checks do you want to receive?  Most affiliate marketers will enthusiastically reply that they want to receive as many affiliate checks as possible.  However, is it as easy as it sounds?  Does joining many affiliate marketers guarantee more affiliate checks that really amount to something?  The answer is NO.

Most affiliate marketers assume that joining multiple affiliate programs is a wise option. Because, it is very easy to join affiliate programs and there is really nothing to lose, affiliate marketers are tempted to join as many programs they can get their hands on. Thus, they fail to give their affiliate programs enough attention and work that they ought to receive. The maximum potential of the affiliate programs are not realized and the resulting income from these programs will almost certainly be disappointing.

That’s why the best way to achieve multiple streams of income is to concentrate on one affiliate program first.  To FOCUS.  Learn the ropes FIRST. Choose a product or service that you can promote passionately.  Pick a product in which you have complete trust.  The best products and services to promote are those that you use personally. Your prospects will be able to sense your sincerity whenever you promote a product that you have experienced.  This will greatly enhance your credibility as well as your product’s marketability and will really encourage your prospect to purchase or avail of the product or service.

As soon as your first affiliate program is making a reasonable profit then, and ONLY THEN, can you proceed to joining another affiliate program and repeat the process. “Too much, too soon” is a common pitfall in affiliate marketing. Joining too many affiliate programs simultaneously in the hopes of having multiple streams of income simply DOES NOT work.

FOCUS FIRST on one affiliate program and work on it so that it makes a good profit. Then, go find another promising program and give it your best effort.  The question should not be how many affiliate checks you WANT to receive, but how many “high-paying” affiliate checks CAN you receive.  The answer lies in your determination to succeed and determination to maximize your earning potential.  With the right tools, the right actions, and perseverance you can definitely make a good profit out of affiliate marketing.

Hope your summer goes well?

It has been a very busy summer for me so far, endless (it seems) wonderful summer weather in the North West, visits with friends and family, and … my baby girl got married 2 weeks ago. Now it’s getting back  to my online marketing world (slowly….:-) and getting ready for September, when everybody goes online and seems to get into a panic to make more money, to get out of the rat race, to have a NO MORE JOB life…..holidays are nice, eh?

And just in time the Helping Hands Wealth Formula was launched. Great stuff. Founded by Beau Bridgewater, thank you Beau, we all know that team works work, but , why don’t you read for yourself, what this new Helping Hands Wealth FormulaFormula is all about.

BTW, we are all giving away 12+ PAID sign ups in Powerline 100.

So here is the beginning of the report…..

How To Create A $15k-20k Per Month Residual Income, Within SIX Months Online, Surfing ONLY 1-2 Hours Per Day, Simply By GIVING AWAY Our Wealth Formula!

How is that for a report title?  Sounds like a bunch of hype huh?

I assure you it is not. It just sounds like hype in these days because very few are building a network marketing business online like it is supposed to be done.

There are a few problems online when it comes to building a network marketing business…

1) No one works as a team. They say they do, but I have seen very little of this actually happening.

2) Everyone is out for “self” and thus they defeat themselves before they even start.

I cannot tell you how many times I have seen a network marketing “Guru” get an award for being a top recruiter and a leader when I know for a fact NO ONE in his downline is doing well.

What is the point of that and why in the heck is that “Guru” getting a leadership award?

FACT:

Without people working together towards a common goal, network marketing becomes a JOKE and good folks like you will never achieve the numbers mentioned in the headline above.

BUT…

When you have a whole team working with you, and FOR you, this is quite achievable and much easier than you think.

You don’t have to put in 16 hours per day online to make money, nor do you have to work alone.

In fact, if everyone just does their small part, you only need to spend ONE or TWO Hours online surfing the traffic exchanges to achieve the level of income mentioned above!

I know you probably don’t believe me so I am going to show you how it is done.

But first, we need to go over what the business opportunity is that we are building as a team.

You need to see the products we have and how much can be made as a result of building your team and distribution network.
