The Wealthy Affiliate

Ever wonder why 5% of affiliates in any program ever make money with them? Why do 95% of them fail?
Aside from a lack of funds to make a go of the business, there are a number of reasons why only the top 5% make and you don’t. Here are some reasons:

• The top 5% take a serious approach to making a go of their marketing program. It’s not a hobby, it’s a business like any other.
• The top 5% have a vision of what they’d like to accomplish. Their goals are important.
• The top 5% have a plan to achieve the vision. Without a plan they can only expect to drift along. And they know that an affiliate program takes care of most everything. All they need do is market the program. Ultimately they become expert marketers.
• The top 5% are COMMITTED to success.
• The top 5% are willing to work as a team with their sponsors and downline members. They’re not prepared to sit on the fence waiting for someone else to make them rich. They communicate. They get active in the forums. They email with offers. They make regular mail-outs and establish friendships that lead to lifelong customers.
• The top 5% are PATIENT. They know riches don’t come overnight.
• The top 5% are realistic. They don’t believe in the get-rich-quick schemes that come along to dupe the foolhardy.
• The top 5% are willing to put forth the effort required to reach their goals.
• The top 5% are willing to sacrifice backyard barbecues and Monday night football. Frivolous activity that doesn’t impact on their accomplishment is put on the back burner in favor of concentrated effort.
• The top 5% are willing to do what it takes even if it means a sizable outlay of capital to get started.
• The top 5% persevere. They congratulate themselves when they’ve accomplished something, even if it appears to be a small step. The never get discouraged.
• The top 5% are constantly learning. The Internet is always changing. So, to stay ahead and maintain their web presence they study new avenues of marketing and promotion.
• The top 5% are flexible. What worked yesterday won’t necessarily work today. They’re willing to move with the changes.
• The top 5% network with friends and business associates.
• The top 5% keep abreast of advertising opportunities. They don’t join every offer that comes along, but if an offer is solid and helps promote their business, they’re not afraid to seize it and work it to their advantage.

Everyone wants to start an online business and hopefully make enough to fire the boss and get financially independent. But few are willing to put forth the sacrifices that are a prerequisite for success. The rules of doing business online is no different than the rules of running a real world business. And the sooner you realize that, the better will be your chances of becoming one of those 5% that get rich from their affiliate program.
