There are a lot of mistakes that people will make when they start their affiliate marketing business. But you also have to know that experience earn from this business is the best teacher. I have been successes with making money online as an affiliate marketer and I hope that you become it to.

In this article I am going to list the top 3 affiliate marketing mistakes that you must to know. These mistakes are the cause of failures in the past and still cause affiliates to fail in today. You must know these mistakes as a starting point before you decide to stop or not to do the business.

o The Earning Opportunity

Most people come to the internet affiliate marketing world with the intention of making money. The super secret here is that most of these people are not looking for ways to make money, but instead they are looking for a magic solution where they will be able to make tons of money fast.

Nothing is further from the truth. Today’s affiliate marketers are actually tired of failures. They are constantly looking for ways to make money online. Affiliate marketing actually is a business in the true sense of the word. It is a career that you need to put in if you want to have a credible money making stay at home business.

o Too Much Affiliate Competition

The other reason why most affiliates fail is because they are far from competitive in the marketplace. Even though the affiliate marketing industry gets a lot of money for each sale, most of the new affiliates are competing with hundreds or even thousands of other affiliates.

It is challenging to make money as an affiliate especially when you have to compete with hot products being promoted by other affiliates. I believe that the best solution to this problem is to get your own product and using a little bit of unethical methods in order to help you get your own edge.

o Not Buying the Product or Using the Service

Another common mistake is that they try to promote a product or service without using it. How can you sell something if you never use it? By using the product and finding out whether it delivers what it promises to do on your website you become a credible and living testaments copy. Your customers will feel that when they buy your product that it has a 100% guaranteed working order.

I have seen people promoting their product with reviews never even taking a dime of the money they are making. These reviews are usually left by a third party and it is obviously a predetermined result.

o Spamming Their Link

This is the most popular mistake that new affiliates make. They use a variety of techniques to drive traffic to their site and it sounds like they are getting a reasonable amount of traffic, but what they are actually doing is Spamming. Spamming is an agreement where a website owner agrees to send new visitors to an affiliate website in return for a payment of whatever promised benefits the web site merchant promises.

These guys are so lazy that they are willing to give away $1000’s of dollars to these “online marketers” for nothing. These are the guys that can give away cash without even buying anything at ClickBank.

o Investing All Your Money In One Product or Top Affiliate Program

hoping to be successful at this is like trying to eat satisfactory and balanced meals. Majority of the new affiliates will blindly choose a top affiliate program with some hype that the merchant will make them money if they sell this product. When they cannot deliver satisfactory results, they will los accredited and disabled their members area and stop there.

In the end, you will be left unhappy and still wondering why your clicks are not converting and how to turn it into sales. By avoiding this mistake, you are on the fast track to being successful and return on your investment.

I always remind myself that it is like what breedingains are; nothing beats experience. So just take action, learn from your experience and the by-products of your experience will lead you to your victory!
