Curiosity seekers Gullible People Get Rich Quick Hopefuls
If you portray your business as a get rich quick scheme, then that is what you will get. People looking to get rich quick. Not exactly my idea of a good affiliate. Why? Because each person who fits into any of above groups has their own reason for signing up none of which is to run a business. Most individuals like this sign up and do little if anything. When they realize that they're not going to get a free lunch most will opt out in a day or two. Those who remain will just ignore your emails. By way. How would you like to go to a job interview and be told you will make $20.00 an hour. You work for 2 weeks only to find out that you have to work for company 10 years before receiving that amount per hour. You would probably walk out door feeling you were decieved. That is exactly what happens to people who answer ads loaded with hype. They feel as though they were decieved.
Not only that but it can be costly to run an ad campaign that uses hype. Think of Pay Per Click campaigns. Your are spending money on clicks of those who are not interested in running a business. I would rather get one hit to my website a day from someone who will do what it takes to succeed then a million hits from people who want to get rich by end of day.
Rather have an ad campaign that focuses on what average person can expect. Most people are in this category. An average person. So target your advertising as if everyone who reads it already understands ins and outs of internet marketing. Portray your opportunity as one that will take years to reach it's full potential. Be honest and up front. Then you will get people signing up who are ready to build a business up over time. Remember. Get Rid Of The Hype. If average person won't make $15,000 dollars a month then don't say they will. If average person will probably make $1,000 a month then say that. What's wrong with making a $1,000 more a month then they had before. If you have been able to quit your job because of your affiliate program, prove it. If you can't offer up some type of proof, (copies of checks, real testimonials, etc...) then just keep it to yourself.
The point being made is this. Most people are already aware of saying, "If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is." There are exceptions to this rule but for most part it is a true statement. Now if you follow advice given above you will probably see a significant drop in your website traffic. And also a drop in amount of affiliates you are getting. But like I and so many others say. "It's not quanity of affiliates you are getting but quality of affiliates you get.
Leave hype to those who want to brag about amount of website traffic and affiliate sign ups they are getting. I'll take a big fat check over hype any time.
