Smart Marketing, Don’t Throw Your Money Away
Not long ago I joined a new Affiliate Marketing program. I wanted to add a little to my bottom line and found a program I knew would do it for me. While I’m not new to marketing I’m new to this kind of program. Thinking I knew it all I didn’t pay attention to the program details.
In the home based business field there are literally hundreds of internet companies that promise to make the newbie Entrepreneur wealthy by drawing in targeted traffic through their advertising programs. Having purchased into a few of them I have the ability to say for a fact they are junk and are simply sucking money out of the new wannabe marketer. Better said, they don’t work. But of course I learned this the hard way having purchased into several blast your ad to 10 million web site advertisers and others. of course they do blast your ad to 10 million sites and of course you get 0 results.
My second move was to join clubs that promise to mentor me to riches. I joined two of them to be exact and they will do what they promised at a cost of $97.00 per month each. Like most it will take forever for them to mentor you to a point where you can quit your job. The question is, are they worth it? Yes they have the ability to be, especially if you have a niche that is super tight or you want to begin a tight niche web site even though you might not be interested in it.
Even though I looked into mentoring programs for my new Affiliate adventure and spent some money on a couple of them they proved to be pointless. Affiliate Marketing is not a Niche market and can not be worked as one.
Having to learn most things the hard way I’ve been religiously sorting through hundreds of emails and clicking the delete button like it was a religion. Because I’ve searched out so many new marketing companies and spent a few dollars with some they all send a relentless amount of emails.
Being the hard learner that I am I also deleted the emails from the program I signed up as an Affiliate with. I tend to learn the hard way so I decided to take a look at some of the emails, from my new program. What I found was all my searching was a huge waste of time because the new program I signed up for not only has a great Affiliate program that can produce pay checks if done correctly it also has a plan instruct you how to make money with the program. What to do and how to do it was right in front of my face the entire time.
I have looked at many marketing programs over the years and nearly all of them have a marketing strategy in place. I’ll admit that some of them are very weak and won’t really produce like most want but they’re there anyway.
I’ve know this for a long time but foolishly looked for a superior way, my own way, to market the program. Unfortunately to many new Affiliates do the same thing and often times waste more time and money than I did. Online advertising and marketing holds many traps that new people can easily fall into if they are not taught correctly from the start. It’s simply too simple to spend big amounts of cash thinking a fortune will be made.
My recommendation for those who want a home based business that is profitable is to go through the program you are affiliated with from front to back and top to bottom. Learn what they offer in marketing programs and apply what they instruct. The chances are pretty good if your involved with a successful company that their strategies have worked for others and will work for you as well.
