97% Failure Rate for Most Affilaite Marketers

There is a saying,

 ”If you give a man a fish, he can eat for a day.

If you Teach a man to fish, he can eat for a lifetime”.

Most affiliate marketers fail to make money online. All the proven statistics state this as fact. Why? Lack of effort? NO….lack of education? YES!!  Education on the product, on techniques, on the entire “internet marketing” process. People see all those ads or ebooks of “self proclaimed guru’s” stating that they made thousands of dollars using a certian ”technique”, or that they “Broke the Code” for Google Adsense. People jump at the chance to make a quick buck, so they buy the ebook, thinking it’s all true, follow what the very inventive “Guru” says and they never see a dime. Ok, maybe a few bucks, which barely off-sets the google listing fee’s or the cost of this ebook. But where is that $31,576.00 that the “guru” claims to have made in 1 day? Didn’t it say “Follow my Step by Step Methods and you will reap vast rewards”? Face it, the only ones making any money are these idiots hocking bogus ebooks, and he makes it off unsuspecting, uneducated people looking for a quick payday.

Look….be honest with yourself. If all this hype was true, and it was so easy to make a killing in marketing, Google Adsense, or most of these so called money generating programs, there would be no poverty in this world. There would be no need for welfare systems. Goverments around the world would just give out computers and tell people to go make that $31,576.00 everyday. There would be no need for charities like ”Save the Children” or “Unicef”, and we all would be driving fancy cars and have huge homes. Why? Because everyone would have that ebook. Am I right? Think about it when you see that next “quick fix scam” some slick con-man dreamed up. There’s a new one out there everyday it seems.

Now….let’s take that saying above, and apply it to Internet Marketing.

If you give a man a “quick fix scam”, maybe he can earn for a day (by unloading it on others)…..If you Teach  a man to properly educate himself with a plan, the right tools, the ways & means to properly implement them, the patience to know “when & where”, …he can earn for a lifetime. Makes sense doesn’t it?
I have adopted this saying into our marketing plan also: “if you give a man a One Time Sale, he can eat for a day….If you educate a man about Residual Income, he will eat for a lifetime.”

If you stop and look at what the few True Marketers say, even they say they struggled in the beginning, that they didn’t make much money and where about to throw in the towel. But they stuck with it and took that “lean period” and learned everything they could. Educating themselves by “trail and error” techniques” until things started falling into place for them where they actually started to earn a living from all this. But it took years.  Not days!! Understand this and that will be your first step to educating yourself.

Moral of the story is:

• There are NO QUICK FIXES, no ONE STEP PLANS!! Except that as fact! Look at the “Big Picture”.
• Take the time to look into all this. There are many facets to Internet Marketing, and you need to know most all of them in order to see results. The few who do make a living online learned how to “merge” these different facets, to make a path to follow.
• Take time to “weed out” the true marketers from those “self proclaimed guru’s”. Read their blogs, visit their websites, try to understand the path they are on. Never be affraid to contact them and ask questions. A True Marketer is always willing to help those who ask.
• Do Not Quit your day job just yet…..Educate yourself first!! Make a plan, follow it. You will see results in the long run. Most “wanna-be” marketers do not see the big picture, only seeing that “quick payday pipe dream”. Those are the ones who will fail.
• Education, Patience, Diligents, Trial and Error, Creativity, Contacts, Tracking your Efforts and Timing….These all factor in a future in Internet Marketing.
