You Don’t Need Anymore Information To Succeed

This post is part of the Why You Suck At Affiliate Marketing series.

The title of this post is brutally honest. It’s clear, simple, and it’s true. You do not need any more information.

As we already established, you suck at affiliate marketing. But it’s not because you don’t know enough about it. Listen, you’ve been at this awhile now, so you already know what you need to make a profit online.

Think about it: you make money by putting your affiliate links out there and convincing people to click on them and make purchases. This isn’t rocket science. You put your affiliate links out there by having a blog or a landing page, advertising through PPC, posting to niche forums, publishing articles to authority sites, etc.

What makes you think another $97 eBook, or another $49/month training portal, is going to change any of that?

Sure… obviously you don’t know everything. There’s still learning to be done and experience to be gained. But you’re not making any profits, so you can’t afford to spend any more money on training resources that just delay the inevitable.

You need to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

You need to implement the stuff you already know before you take the time or spend the money to learn more.

Keep in mind that the people who can succeed in a job or industry are the ones out there doing it. The ones who can’t become college professors. ;-)

Do you want to be Professor Affiliate Marketer? Or do you want to make a huge pile of cash, pay off all your bills, and tell your boss to shove it?

I know which option is my choice.

If you’ve been working at affiliate marketing for less than a month or so, then okay, you probably still need to invest the time and money to learn the basics. But once you know the basics, continued learning is just a diversion from that activities it really takes to earn money.

Sure, your learning never stops, and you should always strive to know as much as you can. But it comes within reason, and it comes over time and with experience. It’s time to leave school and start earning some cash.

So get to it… now!

See what’s in that empty box? It’s your affiliate marketing income.

You’re not making any money. Or at least nothing even remotely close to what you were hoping for. And you’ve been at this for how long? One month… Two months… Six months… An entire year or more?

Dude… face it… you suck at affiliate marketing.

It looks like you need some help, so let me clue you in to a few things. Don’t worry, I’m not going to bombard you will false promises and charge you $97 for them. But I’m not going to pull any punches here either.

Let’s just get brutally honest for a moment, and face some hard cruel facts:

  • You don’t need any more information to succeed.
  • You don’t need any more software, utilities, tools, resources, or memberships.
  • You need to stop looking for shortcuts.
  • You need to get to work.
  • You need to get real about successes and failures.
  • You need to stop being scared of winning.

All you need to do is take what you already know, stop looking for shortcuts, stop being lazy, stop making excuses, and get to work.

Easy right? Well guess what, it’s not as hard as you’re making it.

Over the next few days I’m going to cover each of the points in that list above in greater detail. So if you’re not making money in affiliate marketing, you need to check back each day for the next installment. Unless you don’t want success, in which case I can’t help you.

Your choice…
