The best affiliate programs can’t help your lack of credibility!
Okay, so why is it that some super successful marketers (both) on and offline.
And high extremely high profile celebs like Oprah, have a ton of respect and credibility, while others (sadly) do not?
And you best believe that when it comes to successfully marketing anything online (including) the best affiliate programs, you’ll continually struggle until you fix this one glaringly simple problem.
That being your total lack of real world credibility.
And no, this is not some product you can purchase online, and have it immediately shipped to you. 😀 You have to (both) steadily build and earn it, in order for it to become and or develop into an extremely valuable asset of some kind.
Introducing Three Incredibly Simple Reasons Why You’re Not Really Successful Using Affiliate Marketing! (And What To Do About !)
A lot of fancy words could be used to (overly) describe what the real problem is, and why your attempts at affiliate marketing are failing.
But to cut to the chase, there are basically three incredibly simple reasons why your constantly struggling and will continue to fail trying to Internet market in general and affiliate marketing in particular.
1.) First and foremost; you have zero (long term) credibility established with your target audience!Nod your head cadets, because it’s true.
You’re Constantly Trying To Sell Things Online Before You’ve Even Established Any Long Term Bankable Credibility!
2.) You haven’t bothered to build any type of bankable repoire with them and provided any real value to them, by way of some powerful free ‘how to’ problem solving information, and careful strategic follow up, long before you ever attempted to sell them something of value.
3.) And finally (in a word), they simply do not (yet) trust you enough (or) believe in you enough to part with their extremely hard earned dollars!
My friend; this is a mighty tall order and until you properly address (and fix) these main three (undeniable) concerns, you’re going to continue to starve! With that said, let’s now quickly turn your attention to:
How You Can Apply An Extremely Valuable Marketing Lesson That You Can Learn From A Bald Headed Sales Rep!
Picture the following rather ridiculous (real life) scenario, and see if you can’t successfully apply the powerful overall lesson(s) to your current marketing dilemma, as it pertains to why your continuously struggling with marketing (even) the best affiliate programs.
Imagine you’re relaxing at home (one rather quiet ) Saturday afternoon, when suddenly and totally unexpectedly, your door bell rings.
You open the door and this incredibly charismatic door to door sales rep (desperately) wants to talk to you (briefly) about this darn right revolutionary and totally new product called ‘Hair Grow Plus’.
The short of the story is, because they are so persuasive, enthusiastic and down right persistent, (and besides) they’ve assured you their extremely well crafted presentation, will take no longer than 15 minutes of your extremely valuable time. 😀
You decide (against) your better judgement to indulge them for the next 15 minutes or so.
Until You Establish Long Term Credibility And Trust With Your Target Audience, You Won’t Make A Dime Online!
Just as the person comes in and settles down, and right before they start their presentation. They remove their hat, and suddenly the ugly glaring reality becomes way too obvious for you to ignore!
Guess what? They are totally bald headed! Say what? Yep. They don’t have a stitch of hair!
Of course (right about now) you’re wondering what, (if anything) this rather ridiculous scenario has to do with successful Internet marketing in general and affiliate marketing in particular? Correct?
Building Your Business On Or Offline Involves Continuously Building Some Rock Solid Credibility!
Simply this: Just like the charismatic bald headed sales rep has no credibility, (likewise) how can you as a glorified online newbie, attempt to market some product or service that:
A.) You’ve never personally used? (So not good.)
B.) Or have not yet personally benefited from on any measurable level?
Seriously, how can any serious sales rep (look you in the eye), and with a straight face (recommend) a hair grow product, when they themselves are bald?
And similarly, how can you simply rush over to Clickbank and sign up for some affiliate program, (that you) personally have never used nor personally benefited from and really expect to make money with it!
Share Your Real Life Online Experiences With Your Target Audience And You’ll Start Creating Unshakable And Bankable Trust!
Instead, what if you created a free lead generating product,(by way) of a special ‘how to’ report and or video series,on how you successfully created your first opt in email/mobile marketing list of X number of subscribers.
( In other words,(in the beginning) take your focus on how much money someone can potentially make.
And (instead) focus on teaching other beginners (some) of the things that you’ve actually done and learned, from some of the courses and or programs and services that you’ve purchased,that’s a far more helpful and credible approach.)
How To Advertise Your Business And Or Services So It’s More Far Likely You Will Ultimately Succeed!
1.) Or how you successfully set up your very first opt in box on your state of the art WordPress blog and or e-commerce site.
2.) Or how you successfully added your affiliate links to the side bars on your blog.
In other words, (rather) than trying to convey this fa-sad about earning a gazillion dollars online (like) the gurus and gurettes.
Instead teach/share your real world experiences about whatever you’ve done to this point with the tons of other online newbies, to this point,who also haven’t yet reached your current level of expertise!
Promoting The Best Affiliate Programs Definitely Won’t Save You If You Haven’t Established Some Rock Solid Credibility First!
This proven approach (over time) makes far more sense, and you’ll start to position yourself within your particular niche, as a well respected source within your industry.
In short, be your newbies guide and protect their integrity and guard it like your own and watch (both) your long term credibility and sales grow!
Because if you don’t, you won’t be able to sell or market much, even if it’s one of the best affiliate programs available! Don’t you agree?
