I am going to start a new series today.
7 Reasons Affiliates Fail
In my studies about affiliate marketing, I kept reading about 7 very common reasons that affected the results achieved by Affiliate marketers. There are other reasons as well but these 7 seemed to be the most common. Over the next week, I will discuss these 7 reasons.
Monkey See, Monkey Do - Making easy on yourself by only using marketing aids provided by the product or service and doing nothing original.
Trying to Make a Sale Too Fast - It is unresonable to think that your sales will be made the first time you advertise or email.
Selling Filet at MacDonald's - Trying to sell high-ticket products without building rapport with prospects
Lack of Focus on Traffic - Trying every traffic software, strategy and trick spread you too thin.
Offer Overload - Making too many offers in too short a time.
7-Second Expectations - Expecting results to soon.
Not Creating a Journey - Not building a journey for the customer after they buy your product.
These 7 reasons can keep you from making sales; and, maybe more important, keep you from keeping customers for resales. I will explore each of these in more detail over the next week's posts.
I hope you find this topic interesting. I encourage you to provide feedback, good and bad, with your comments. This is the only way I can improve. Thank you in Advance.
See You At The Bank,
