Message #1 Do This and You Will Fail with Affiliate Marketing I've got some sad news to report. You probably don't want to read this, but I need to let you know just so you can avoid wasting your time: the vast majority of people who try affiliate marketing fail. Now, for the good news. You don't have to be one of them. That's right, if you do it right, you don't have to fail. Here are just the common ways people screw up affiliate marketing. Remember, you just need to avoid doing these and you have a higher chance of making money online. No Niche Research If you are excited about promoting a particular product because you heard that it makes money, think again. It may not be the right product for you. You might be targeting the wrong niche or you're targeting the wrong audience. Do a little bit of research ahead of time. Make sure that you are systematic about it. Bad Niche Research Plans A lot of affiliate marketers think that niche research is simply just looking at what's hot or what's trending and calling it a day. That is not much of a plan. In fact, the only thing you are planning to do when you look for niches that way is to fail. Don't do it. Wrong Content Strategy After you have nailed the right niche, your problems are not over. You still need to produce the right content to appeal to the right audience to produce the right outcome. This takes planning. This takes a clear strategy. Simply writing "hot content" just because you think it's hot is a sure recipe for disaster. You have to write content that you know your audience members would be interested in. You cannot take guesses. You cannot take wild shots in the dark. You have to be sure that they are interested in the content that you are producing. No Promotion Plan or Content Distribution List A lot of marketers have a "publish and pray" strategy. That is not a strategy. You have to have a list of places you're going to distribute your content before you even put up your blog or your website. Otherwise, your affiliate marketing business is dead in the water.
