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

~Abraham speaks about the greatest gift you can give to your child. The child is thinking, and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child, from parent to child, from parent to child. The child is vibrationally receiving your fears, your beliefs, even without your spoken word… If you want to do that which is of greatest value for your child, give thought only to that which you want, and your child will receive only those wanted thoughts. Excerpted from a workshop in “The law of attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham” on Saturday, July 1st, 2006 All Is Well Abraham-Hicks abrahamhicks Abraham Hicks Abraham Law of Attraction LOA

It is quite fascinating today when I see some parents letting their child or children tell them (the parent) what they want to do or what they’re going to do. Or even what they won’t do. Do you let your child tell you want they’re going to do? I’m from the old school. Back in the day if I told my parents what I was going to do or want I wanted to do in detail I would have been slapped right in the face and put in my place as a child. Yes, it is necessary for children today to have a say so in their activities today. But, by the same token you as a parent have to be the one shaping, molding and directing your child’s life. Until your child begins helping take care of the home including but not limited to; paying some of the bills, buying groceries, buying their own clothes etc. then you as the parent have all decision making that’s best for your child or children. There are some things of course you can let your child decide to a certain degree. Like if they want to play a particular sport or participate in some other extra-curricular activity.

Some parents today want to be their children friends. That’s o.k. to a certain degree; there’s certain limits; and a time and place to be-friend your child. For instance, say you were both out having fun at a store or some place of recreation. But then if parental decisions need to be addressed, then don’t look to your child to make a decision which is your responsibility as a parent. As a parent today you want to make sure you are in control of your child’s life until they reach the age of majority which in some states is either 18 or 19 years old (check your state laws for accuracy).

Reason being once your child reaches a certain age they will be constantly telling you all the time what they will do or what they will not do and you could find yourself being intimidated by your own child. You don’t want that. Your job a parent is shaping and molding your child to become a splitting image of yourself. Hopefully your demeanor and your attitude is one that is warm, welcoming and friendly. Your children will mimic your behavior patterns. So if they see you being considerate and kind they will do the same. Yet, if they see you clowning and acting a fool trust me, they will imitate you.

I know we have all these child custody laws granting children their rights. Which is cool; but as long as you are providing the necessities for your child or children then do not be intimidated by the judicial system. Learn the system for your benefit and for the benefits of your children.

Who’s the Parent you or your Child?

Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3.

Some singers catapulted to stardom rather quickly, some sparkled, flickered a little and then faded into obscurity while most singers stayed the same for years if not forever at mediocrity level?

Why is it that most singers never make it big in their singing career, not to say becoming superstars? Well, for starters, most singers begin their career as a lounge singer, singing in small clubs and belting out cover versions of established and popular singers. They selection of songs will be dictated by their audiences and so they must cover a wide genre of songs.

At one moment, you can enjoy a Barbara Streisand ballad and then the next song will be a fast Chaka Khan number followed by latin inspired Michael Buble’s ‘Sway’. Yes, it is good to be versatile and able to sing songs of various styles and genre. In fact it is even admirable if you can sing a Celine Dione number and sounded like Celine and then a Frank Sinatra swing sounding like ol’ blue eyes himself.

However, as a famous vocal coach, Brett Manning once said, ‘I have coached dozens of young women who can now sing almost exactly like Celine Dion. But then again, who wants a counterfeit when the real Celine Dione is already available?’ This quote is taken from Brett’s article ‘How to build a successful singing voice’.

In other words, most singers just take it as part of their job to sound like the original cover versions of songs and never try to create a distinctive sound and style of their own. Now, if all singers sounded alike, how would you get noticed and recognized for who you are? How to make it big as a singer when you can only sing other people’s song and imitate other singer’s style of singing?

Let me ask you a question, how many times have you heard a song being sung and immediately able to identify the singer although you have never heard that particular song performed by the singer? Many times isn’t it? Why? Because every prolific singer’s voice and style are like their thumbprint. It is distinguishable from the rest of the pack. That is why they stand out and get noticed.

If you want your singing voice to get noticed and make it big as a singer, develop a distinctive style and voice of your own. After all, you have sung so many singer’s style that you can use these influences to develop your own and stand out from the crowd.

Till next time, happy singing.
