Unfortunately, the world of internet and affiliate
marketing is littered with lies, cheats, and false claims.
I want to cover 3 myths that are seen in the world
of online marketing in hopes to bringing some clarity to those of you having
difficulties.
- Push Button Software
Push button software programs typically are only
part of the whole business set-up. Sure, there are some great software programs
out there that I could not live without.
However, I have never seen any successful online
business owner or affiliate marketer become ultra successful simply by
implementing 1 piece of software.
For instance, let's say you find a push button
software that helps flood your site with traffic. If you do not have your
funnel set up properly, which includes follow up, back end offers, email
autoresponders, shopping carts or merchant accounts, etc, you will not succeed
just getting traffic to your offer.
Suggestion: Implement timeless traffic
strategies to existing funnels that have proven to work. This is where getting
involved in a proven affiliate program will be helpful for the beginner or
failing marketer.
- Gurus Use Their Own Products
One myth that many of you fall victim to is purchasing
these products that the "gurus" say can make you the same amount of
money online that they have made.
Maybe their sales page shows proof of their
earnings by demonstrating a live screen cast of their bank account or affiliate
back-office account.
However, the truth behind this myth is that many
of these product owners are making that money selling that product to
buyers like you! The product owners share their lists with other product owners
and get help from affiliates spreading the information around the web and the
income comes from the actual selling of the information product, NOT from using
the system they are trying to sell you!
Suggestion: Really do your research
on the products and use your best judgment on what people are recommending.
Only get involved with programs with many testimonials.
**Also remember that there are naysayers about
every program - this is an advanced marketing strategy to get you away from one
product and to buy their product!
- Free Traffic
Any type of traffic you get is really not free.
Now, you may not pay for your traffic with cash up front, but if you do not,
you are spending a lot of time, which to a successful business owner, ends up
costing me a lot of money.
For instance, to see what your time is worth,
calculate your weekly salary and divide that by hours, and then minutes. So if
you make $1000 per week on your business and you work 20 hours that equals $50
per hour.
So if you were to spend 3 hours per week on
getting "free" traffic - you could probably get better results
spending that $150 on advertising to targeted markets.
PLUS, with paid traffic you can scale up much
quicker. It takes weeks, sometimes months to get scaled up with free traffic
methods.
Suggestion: Learn a successful paid
traffic system. Master this method prior to moving on to the other paid
methods. However, you will need to send this traffic to a fully functioning,
set-up marketing funnel that has proven results.
