Affiliate Marketing Myths You Should Be Aware Of

If affiliate marketing is so great, why are so many people struggling?

And why are few others making it where others have failed?

The answer is simple: SYSTEM

Most beginners go online wanting to succeed or start an online business, but often times they either don’t have a strategy to follow or they do what used to work before (but not anymore today!)

Wouldn’t it be great to follow a time-tested blueprint so you can create your own paycheck every week or every day?

Ever have those days when the people around you are being toxic over the things you must have when venturing into affiliate marketing?

I don’t know about you, but until now, I have people telling me that I won’t earn a lot of commission if I still do not have over thousands on my mailing list.

I mean, where do these myths come from and why is it that every myth turns out to be demotivating?

We have been promoting from day one and there’s still rumors flying about saying how you shouldn’t be doing this and that!

But you are a Super Affiliate are you not?

As a Super Affiliate myself, allow me to assist my fellow supers. Because in this post, I’m going to break the top 2 myths about affiliate marketing! That’s right, I’m going to show you that you are only a few steps away from breaking out in of all the mysteries and negativity.

No kryptonite is going to stop you. Prove to yourself that this is a viable opportunity to earn every bit of extra commission!

The first myth I’m breaking is concerning the size of your email list. It is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. People say you need a HUGE list to make money with affiliate marketing.

NOT TRUE!

The quality of the list is more important than the size. Just because you can mail to 100,000 subscribers does not mean you will make any sales. Having a list of buyers is 100 times better than having a list of subscribers that have only opted in for a free report. Trust me on this one.

Because those free subscribers can and will make purchases, but someone that has already purchased from you are already starting to trust you and will make more purchases because you have recommended it to them!

So, the bigger the email list with buyers will in turn, produce higher commissions and profits from your efforts. Just as long as you deliver quality and value to them.

It’s not just about delivering promotions to them all the time, but also giving them advice and show them results. Sending them clickable links or any forms of call-to-actions in every email is not important. You must have them view your recommendations regularly as well.

Emailing daily is a must! You need to keep you and your brand at the top of your subscribers’ mind and inbox. Don’t let yourself be forgotten. If you are not emailing your list AT LEAST once a day you are leaving money on the table. There goes the extra commission you could be making.

Well, at some point having a huge email list is important but not the sole measurement of a successful affiliate email campaign. In fact, many marketers worry and do their best to maintain their overall number of subscribers on their lists. Keeping subscribers is important but it’s not the only stats to focus on.

There are other metrics that can determine how good your email list and your email campaign is; the rate of opened messages, clicks through your links and also, your sales conversions.

The last myth I’m about to break is the Technical Barriers. Honestly, all of us can be swayed by this myth the first time you hear it.

I realized you don’t really need to know all the computer jargons to make commissions.

You see, setting up your own blog might be simple and easy from the start but it’s not the same story as you go through the process.

How to secure a good number of viewers to your articles is the biggest problem even for the experienced bloggers.

It’s definitely hard to engage enough eyeballs when you are creating your new blog. You need to realize that you are competing in a huge and populated market that makes for very tough competition. But that is why you have this one relief that sets you apart from everyone else; you are offering a unique product.

But let me tell you now, you must deal with the facts about your product and by the end of the day, you need to provide satisfying information to the never-ending questions coming in from your prospects.

Also, don’t forget that you are selling something that is not tangible. You have to work on your revenues from ads and from other working affiliate links in your blog. We have all been there.

However, if you really want to generate real profits you have to create a massive audience. That is the real deal.

Niche websites are also easy to make but it is also the same reason why the competition is greater. I mean, how many of us here created a website only to be demotivated by the compelling and eye-catching website of our competitors?

You need to realize making a good-looking website is nothing without visitors. Just hop to WordPress.com and start making your own website or blog from there. It is the simplest and user-friendly website making I’ve ever used.

Pick a layout and treat the whole editing process as part of your branding materials.

From the colors, all the way to the pictures you choose.

In order to get a large number of visitors to your sites, you have to enhance your search engine optimization (SEO) skills since search engine traffic contributes to a large part of total traffic going to a niche site. And WordPress have all that! The right-hand panel, ‘Post Setting ‘utilizes the SEO.

These are just examples of websites and technical issues. These are something that can be overcome and solved by a good work ethic. Your determination is going to carve a successful affiliate journey! So, start exploring WordPress.
