Why Do Beginners Struggle With Affiliate Marketing?

By Anne O'Dwyer   

Affiliate marketing is a great concept: your products are provided, so with an affiliate link all you have to do is find customers, you don't even have to worry about delivery it is done for you, often electronically, or they could be physical products, but as you see a great way in theory, to start online.

Originally Clickbank marketplace, was where many affiliates started online. It is a store of E books, with sales pages provided by the vendor to send your customers to with your affiliate link.

Another option is visiting a large warehouse of products where a selection can be made; you then build your own website, sales pages and learn the marketing techniques. You can see with the Clickbank route and possibly the second, commissions are small so that a great number of sales have to be made to make a decent living.

The biggest draw back with the second route, besides the meagre commissions, it is the length of time it takes to become proficient at all the techniques, so that everything look professional to entice customers to trust you and part with their money. So if you need loads of customers because of the small returns, how are you going to find a lot of traffic cheap enough to cover your costs, never mind making a profit.

So let’s look at a better way. Choose a mentor who supplies excellent products, professionally prepared sales pages and up-to-date training in the best sales techniques and marketing; plus the secret ingredient that makes it all work.

The secret ingredient that makes all the difference is a large selection of products at various price points according to the requirements of your customers. So entry-level products with small commissions up to expensive and sophisticated products paying larger commissions, all this together with a tried and tested formula of successful marketing.

So to sum up, the simple but effective way to learn affiliate marketing, is with a mentor providing a range of products, professional sales pages, and excellent training; who also pays generous commissions enabling you to purchase instant traffic and therefore earn a good return for your efforts.

So start now and make 2016 a year to remember!
