5 Affiliate Marketing Facts of Life

February 03, 2010  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: Learn how to make your own clothes

Affiliate marketing (AM) is fast becoming a major trend in
online business. With the internet still in its adolescent
years, it has already established itself as an extremely viable
career opportunity, bridging the advertising gap for companies,
while providing much sought-after work at home revenue.

With the boom in affiliate marketing, however, there is a
growing wave of new marketers that become easily discouraged
when the initial hype wears off and they don’t understand what
to expect in the business. For those just entering the arena,
here are a few Facts Of Life about Affiliate Marketing:

1) YOU WILL HAVE TO INVEST SOME MONEY Affiliate marketing being
a hybrid of the independent contractor & the self-employed small
business owner, it is inevitable that some money be invested.
While a contractor might earn a base pay + commission, they also
have little or no control over product, promotion or price. And,
while a self-employed owner controls all these, they also pay
all the bills.

But an AM is neither. They don’t control price nor, once they
sign up, product. But they do control promotion. And, unlike a
self-employed worker, they bear only a fraction of the costs.
The advertising fraction.

So, the bad news is affiliate marketers do have to invest some
money, at some point, even in the best programs or scenerios.
But this has also become a growing trend in all sales positions,
as well as positions in all industries. Many positions include a
certain amount of investment. Any job that requires a uniform,
for example, means investing in special clothes. Plus most
realtors must pay for their own advertising.

The good news is that, unlike other sales positions (but similar
to small business), the AM controls that cost because they
decide on which advertisements to invest.

The best news is that many companies, like Plug-in-Profits
(http://trackermo.com/pips.html), now offer great affiliate
support and will guide the new AM until they understand the
business and can stand on their own two feet.

2) YOU WILL HAVE TO INVEST SOME TIME Affiliate marketing works
on the slide-rule effect. That is, the more effort the AM
invests, the richer the dividends. And, like a microcosm of a
career, the AM works their tail off in the beginning– then
works less and less as their sales build. But this can be
measured in months, rather than years (thus, the mirocosm).

Still, many enter the AM arena thinking all they have to do is
sign up as an affiliate, then sit back and reap the rewards. And
that’s just when they should be getting busy. The rewards will
come, but not until they’ve put in their time.

The bad news here is to expect to eat, drink and sleep
marketing– at first.

The good news is that, according to experts in the field, an
affiliate can expect to see a return on their investment within
the first 3-9 months, depending on how much time they spend at
it.

3) YOU WILL GET BURNED ONCE OR TWICE It’s inevitable. Either by
paying astronomical fees for hosting, for leads or for some
other service (not to mention, the existence of scams), it
happens. That’s why “expert” and “experience” have the same root
word. It takes experience to know what’s going on, how to spot a
scam, and to know a good opportunity when it arrives.

The good news is, experience is the best teacher of all. And a
new AM will soon learn from their mistakes.

4) YOU WILL HAVE TO UPDATE YOURSELF The internet has been called
the most fluid industry ever. That’s a poetic way of saying it
changes faster and more often than a body of water. Engineers
call it expotential growth, though it’s more reminiscent of
growth on a cellular level: Rather like a baby starting as two
single cells and, in nine short months, becoming a fully formed
infant. Or, like a pyramid scheme that really works!

Whatever the analogy, the point is the internet is constantly,
incessantly, (sometimes annoyingly) changing. What was vital two
years ago (SE placement, keywords, Pay-Per-Click), is now
becoming passe, replaced by new types of more effective
marketing techniques (PowerLinking, Opt-in lists, pay-per-buy).

All of which leads to–

5) YOU MUST BE PRO-ACTIVE To keep the revenues up, AMs must find
good resources to monitor the business. Newsletters, forums and
affiliate resource pages all become vital to watching the latest
trends. They are filled with the latest information, the latest
ideas and the newest concepts in advertising.

Also, in the case of the AM with their own website, that must be
updated occasionally, too, while the affiliate landing page is
kept up by the company. But when an AM opts for their own page,
they must be aware that every few months or years, a new
enhancement takes off. Right now, the latest is audio and or
animated spokespeople.

Once an affiliate marketer arms themself with these facts of
life, they have a very good chance of succeeding in this new
arena.–mo

Therefore, the awful news is Affiliate Marketers do have to invest some money, at some point, even in
the best programs or scenerios. But this has also become a rising trend in all sales positions, as well as positions in all industries. Many positions include a certain amount
of investment. Any job that requires a consistent, for instance, wealth investing in special clothes. Plus most realtors must pay for their own advertising.

Earn Passive Time!

January 31, 2010  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: Learn how to make your own clothes

If I want to be rich and wealthy, I need to change my mindset to invest in assets that generate passive income. Becoming rich has nothing to do with how much I earn. This is what I have learned from the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. If I had earned a lot and spent on luxury items, I would be simply wasting my opportunity to accumulate wealth. In fact I would loss out to someone who had earned much lesser and invested in assets that generate passive income. In the long run, he would be able to accumulate more wealth than me.

Since it is possible to invest in assets to earn passive income, is it possible to invest in assets that generate passive time?

Before I investigate into details, let us have a common understanding of what is passive time. I define passive time as time gained to accomplish things with little or no human intervention. Just like in the case of passive income, it is earned with little or no human intervention. For example, when I invest in a property to collect rental income, there is little or no work required on my part to earn that rental income.

Based on my definition of passive time, are there assets that generate passive time? To answer this question, let look at the example of a washing machine. As we all know, a washing machine helps to wash clothes. But it helps to generate passive time too!

Firstly, a washing machine will wash the clothes automatically after I have choose the washing option and set it running. This means that I can be doing some other things while the washing machine is washing the clothes. Passive time is earned because the washing machine is washing the clothes automatically. All I need to invest is a little time to choose the washing option and set it running.

Secondly, a washing machine speeds up the washing process. Imagine if I were to manually wash my clothes, I would have to spend much longer time than the washing machine. In this sense, passive time is earned because now I can do the same amount of work in lesser time. All I need to do is to invest some time to choose, buy and install a washing machine.

In other words, an asset such as a washing machine that automates a manual process is considered to be generating passive time. Also, an asset such as a washing machine that improves the efficiency by speeding up the process is considered to generate passive time. Thus, I should be looking for assets with these two features to generate passive time.

Since I already know how to identify an asset that generates passive income, the next step will be on how to select relevant assets to fit into my life so that I can gain passive time. Before that, let me explain what do I mean by relevant asset.

A washing machine is relevant if I use it to wash my clothes. When I use it to wash my clothes, then I am earning passive time. If I do not use the washing machine at all, then it is a liability since it does not earn passive time. Just like if I have a property, I need to rent it out to earn passive income. If I do not rent it out or fail to rent it out, then I do not earn passive income. In this case, the property will be a liability based on my understanding from the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki.

To be able to identify relevant assets, the first thing I must do is to identify all the manual processes in my daily life that can be either automated or speed up or both. That is I must keep a time statements just like I need to keep a personal financial statements. A financial statements help to identify how I spend my money. Similarly, a time statements help to identify how I spend my time. In short, a time statement is like a recording of all my daily activities.

I will probably need record all my daily activities for about a few month to identify how I spend my time. Based on the list of activities that I am always doing, I need to filter through the activities and see if I can automate or speed up some of my daily activities by investing in certain assets that generates passive time. In this way, I can identify the relevant assets to invest in.

Why am I focusing so much on learning to invest time? Well, time is one of the two things that are available that I can invest so as to create wealth based on my understanding from the Rich Dad’s Series by Robert Kiyosaki. The other being money. Since I need to have more time to invest so as to create wealth, I need to learn to invest time to gain more passive time!
