Online Success- Just $100,000 will get you started!
I can't believe the amount of people who say that
they are 'entrepreneurs' with their own 'online business',
but who treat it just like a 'hobby' or a 'game' to fit inbetween
their other leisure activities.
Before the advent of the Internet, a business required a massive
investment to get started. People would think in terms of at
least 3-5 years before they recovered what they had paid
out, and were making a profit.
Nowadays you can start an online 'business' for next to nothing,
but for some reason people expect to make a profit from it
immediately, and are then disappointed when it doesn't happen.
If only people could put in the same level of commitment,
as they would if they had spent tens of thousands of dollars
setting up an offline business, then far more people would be
successful.
If only people could stop thinking of their online business as
if it were a lottery ticket. There are no instant winnings, and
instant gratification.
And don't forget the fact that most people
with a lottery ticket are losers!
Success is not easy. It takes time, but the rewards you
eventually receive are worth far more than any lottery win!
No one successful ever said it was easy. And if people
do say it is easy then they are lying!
As you probably know, most people start off trying to
make money online, by signing up with an affiliate program.
An affiliate program allows anyone at all to start up a business
for virtually nothing.
But just because it is so easy, and free, to sign up for an
affiliate program, it is easy to make the mistake of
thinking that there is no work involved either, or to
believe that you will never experience problems like
you do with any other business.
Most people also think that because they have a great looking
affiliate website, then that is all they need.
Yet 95% of people fail with their affiliate sites. Why do you
think that is?
I would say that the fact that it cost them nothing to get
started accounts for a lot of it!
At the first hurdle they come across, most people give up.
It cost them nothing, so it is easy to walk away, because
they will have lost nothing.
On the other hand, someone who had invested $100,000 in
their business
will fight tooth and nail to make their business
work!
They will find solutions to problems, they will approach
things a different way, do whatever is necessary, until it does
work, rather than give up, because they have invested too
much to lose it all.
So if you want to know the correct approach to making
a success of your affiliate business, it is to imagine that it
cost you $100,000 to get started!
Imagine if you had to use your life savings, mortgage your home,
or borrow from the bank to start up, then you would have a
completely different attitude to begin with.
If you can imagine that every month you are paying back
as much as you can possibly afford to the bank for your
business, and then you really use this money as your
advertising and promotion budget, then you will see your
business grow dramatically!
Use some of your budget to get your own website.
This is essential, to have you own unique site, and
you can have links to all of your different programs.
And follow advice!
If you had really invested $100,000 in your online business,
then you would be more inclined to take advice from people who
had already become successful.
And the advise you will get from all the experts is that
virtually all your efforts should go into promoting your
own newsletter, not in promoting your affiliate site
directly. Everyone agrees that '..the money is in the list..'
Encourage people to subscribe to it, by offering freebies, and
incentives if they do subscribe.
In every newsletter, you keep telling people about your
programs, and eventually they will buy something from you!
Think long term investment. Not short term. You could
send a few thousand people to your one affiliate website,
and you might, if you are lucky, make a bit of money.
But having that same amount of people on your subscriber
list will eventually make you rich!
