The number one problem that people fail to do in Affiliate Marketing is they do not treat it as a business. If you do not treat it as a business you will get poor results and tell yourself, “I knew this wouldn’t work in the first place!”

1. You need a plan of action. Write down a step by step plan of action to keep focus on what steps to take in order to achieve your goals. This includes being diligent, serious, and working smarter not harder. Put yourself in the person looking for information. What are they looking for? Step outside the box, get away from the herd mentality. Try to be unique.

2. Aim to help others. You want to be helpful to people in whatever niche your in. Work hard on trying to understand their feelings, and that you really care for others to provide with solutions they are looking for. In return they will be willing to help you.

3. Get a domain name. Try to get domain name that reflects the type of niche you’re advertising for. Don’t get a domain with your name in it, you are selling the product not yourself. This will be a big turn-off to buyer.

4. Get a web hosting account. There are a lot web hosting sites out there, some good, some better than others. But web hosting is what you need to take yourself into the bigger money, which is what we are talking about here today.

5. Get an auto-responder. If you want to make serious money, then you need an auto-responder to capture names of people that checkout your ad. These are people you can sell to over and over again. By not following up on your list, you are leaving money on the table. You worked hard for your list don’t let it go to waste. That is why you must build trust with your list by offering free stuff with quality content, and they will buy from you time and time again.
