12 Mistakes New Affiliates Make

Affiliate marketing can be one of the easiest but trickiest ways to make money online. That’s why it is said to be that most affiliates are struggling to earn at least a hundred bucks a month. This should be a lucrative business as some affiliates are possibly earning as much as $10,000 per month or much higher than that.

Allan Gardyne, a full time affiliate marketer who earns a good living from affiliate programs since 1998, laid out some of the reasons why most people trying to make money on the internet struggle to earn $100 a month.

1. Telling people how to make money online when you don’t know how yourself.
2. Promoting the program instead of the product
3. Using banners instead of endorsements
4. Failing to capture email addresses
5. Lots of visitors but no sale because of lack of knowledge in PRE-SELLING.
6. Keep on doing same old things that never work.
7. Building business on a foundation of sand.
8. Selling ONLY other people’s products.
9. SELLING instead of HELPING.
10. Learning from mediocre sources.
11. Not injecting your personality into your site.
12. Failing to plan.
