Which of these mistakes are you making with affiliate marketing?

Without a doubt affiliate marketing is becoming one of most powerful and affordable ways to earn a very healthy living online. Whether you are striving to be a power affiliate or simply want to make a few extra dollars on side this article will share with you some common mistakes affiliates are making and how you can avoid them.

Mistake 1: Choosing bandwagon affiliate products

What I mean is choosing what you *think* is a hot item instead of choosing what interest you. Take a look at any super affiliate and I guarantee you will see one common thread. They are actually interested in what they are selling.

>>Solution<< Pick products and services that appeal to you. Then, do some research and find out if they are in demand. If they are, find a suitable affiliate program and join it.

Mistake 2: Not putting in work.

Since affiliate programs are usually free to join this makes them both elluring and at same time a waste of time. What I mean is, you have nothing to lose by joining one, two, three, four affiliate programs. Except of course your time.

>>Solution<< Choose one affiliate program and stick with it until it is making a reasonable profit. Then, repeat process with another affiliate program if you wish to do so. This will keep you from spreading yourself to thin and wasting valuable time.

Mistake 3: Failing to pre-sell your prospects.

Our hobbies help us to relax and forget our everyday problems and troubles.

We are all experts in one or more fields of our lives.

But I am sure that not everyone has a hobby that makes money for him/her (except, of course, if you love your job).

Just imagine, wouldn't it be great if you could have a money making hobby? You could get involved even more with what you already love to do, you could treat your family and friends with extra cash, or... even quit your current job that you probably hate.

You see, everyone can make money with his/her hobby, and I am going to reveal it to you in a minute...

There are millions of people who have same hobbies and interests just like you. Everyone is searching for more information about their hobbies and passions. Take a guess - what is best place to find information today? I think you will agree that World Wide Web (the Internet) is one of best places on Earth to look for information related to your hobby. Millions of people use Internet to find answers to questions they have, to solve problems they encounter every day.

So, how could you make money with your hobby? It's simple - build your own web site (online business) about your hobby.
