Affiliate marketing lessons.

Thousands upon thousands of folks who would love to become successful online by selling other peoples stuff.  You and I have downloaded thousands of e-books, and continue reading books, blogs and websites that do there best to influence you into buying products to help with your online efforts.

You can make a decent part time or full time living by becoming an affiliate marketer, whether you start your own affiliate program or sell someone else’s affiliate products.  But how does the inexperienced newbie, or intermediate person really become successful at doing something they have never done or have very little experience at.

How do people start learning this affiliate marketing thing? Do people really make money online by selling other people’s stuff.  Why is it so difficult to profit and why are their so many Guru’s pitching the same thing over and over again.

Learning affiliate marketing is like anything else.  It takes time, patience and a big willingness to accept the fact that you will fail.  Yes YOU will fail!  But and this is a big but…this will become your inspiration to succeed.  Let me tell you a quick story about my sport playing days.

Please bear with me.  I so desperately wanted to become a softball player.  I had no talent zero, zilch, nada.  I tried to join several teams but no one wanted me.  I failed miserably and team after team dropped me from their roster like a wet paper bag full of potatoes.

Could not throw, run nor hit.  I knew deep in my heart that I was awful…just plain no good.  But the desire to be a good player was embedded deep into my soul, heart and mind.

Just tolerate me awhile longer and you will see my affiliate marketing lessons analogy.

I could have quit or turned to something less demanding.  Maybe I could do tiddly winks, horse shoes – maybe jogging, nope.  I wanted to become a good solid softball player and nothing short of a heart attack was going to stop me.

I started reading softball books at the local library (no internet in 1974).  I went to several free coaching lessons at our University.  I bought numerous books on how to gain bat speed, strengthen exercises for power.  I read books about stretching and using lighter weights for sprinters.  I studied and practiced religiously almost to the point of madness.

I also went to several college and inter-city-leagues games and studied the best players. I studied their every move how they so effortlessly ran, caught, and hit the long ball.  I asked questions and did my best to get good useful advice.

It took more than several years to become that good solid all around player that I wanted to become.  Other teams noticed and it didn’t take long till I was listed on their roster.  It felt good to accomplish something I knew would happen.

Most folks have to learn and train to become proficient at what they want.  It does not happen overnight.  There are some people who have God-given talent but they too have to keep analyzing and keep current of the latest techniques in what ever niche, sport or trade that will keep them at the pinnacle of their profession.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what the analogy between my sports venture and affiliate marketing are.  Stop fiddling around and make the right choices.  Read, research, ask questions, and become active with your own online social interaction.  You will find a lot of good people willing to help you with your own online success.

This is not really an affiliate marketing lesson but more of an inspirational story about the determination to succeed.
