Why Many Affiliate Marketers Are Always Plugging The Next Big Thing

By Russell Howe


With all the hype surrounding companies such as Empower Network and Vi, it is easy to see why many people are attracted to the prospect of making money online. However, most people fail to see any results. Today we will reveal one of the main reasons for this.

Despite the fact that over 90% of people who try to use the internet to become their own boss do not succeed, if you were to speak to anybody trying to build an income online they would tell you how serious they are about reaching success. This doesn't match up to the facts.

Unfortunately, there are a large number of individuals who view the internet as little more than a lottery ticket. They hope to find the next big thing and never do. These individuals can be seen joining affiliate program after affiliate program every couple of months. If you know anybody who is stuck in this frame of mind, you'll notice that each time you speak to them they are trying to convince you to join a new business and telling you it's the best thing out there.

Of course, the majority of people who try to create their own business in the real world fail as well. It's just that those figures are not published for all to see. The fact is you'll face a tough time if you are to achieve your ambitions. If you do not genuinely love your idea then it won't work. This is a major issue in affiliate programs, where many members have joined purely for the income opportunity. []

That's the main reason budding internet marketers don't succeed with their chosen ventures.

Yet despite the fact that so much internet marketing is bogus information on earning a living without applying the effort, there are some truths behind them. The truth is, like most affiliate programs will tell you, somebody can certainly build a fantastic income from home without having any experience in sales or any skills with computers. What they don't tell you, however, is that you need a whole lot of determination just like you would if you opened up a store or a gym. There is no hands free way to work for yourself.

If you were immediately drawn to the possibility of an online business because you don't like the idea of pushing yourself hard, then you should cancel whatever affiliate program you have joined immediately. It doesn't matter whether you believe your chosen business has the potential to be the next Facebook or Google, and it doesn't matter how great the compensation package is. If you don't work at your business every day you won't reach any success. Many people falsely believe they can strike it rich by getting in early to new opportunities and then watching the earth move underneath them as others join later. []

Sadly, affiliate programs have been in this business for far longer than the affiliate themselves. They know this is how people think, so they target those individuals with their marketing. They realize that even if those non-serious members quit they have still achieved a couple of months worth of membership from them, as well as grown their email opt-in list considerably. This is why those type of companies often offer free pre-launch phases.

The bottom line is you cannot become successful in the business world, whether it is online or offline, without fully focusing your long-term efforts on your chosen affiliate program. If you haven't reached success yet, it's because you haven't earned it yet. While it would be easy to see a potentially lucrative company like Empower Network as an easy way to make money online, the fact is the affiliates who are generating serious incomes are really working hard in order to do so.
