Don't Sell To People- Help Them!

What you say - Promoting someone else's products, what could be better? No overhead, no warehousing, no handling of money/cards, no hassle with complaints.

So why do 95% of new marketers fail? Isn't it easy? Well, here are some reasons so many marketers have no success.

1. They Don't Stand out From The Crowd

Think about it, There are thousands of people in affiliate marketing. If you went to a flea market to buy anything, let's just say a toaster. When you get there, 1,000 people are selling the exact same toaster. Which one do you buy?

If you are the only one selling an item it wouldn't be hard. When people are bombarded by so many offering the same thing it's a different ball game!

2. They Don't Know Enough About What they Are Selling

It is almost embarrassing to see someone selling something they don't know much about. Compare these 2 pitches

More than 5 million bottles of this all-natural, clear liquid formula have been used by people of every age, living with all sorts of aches and pains.

John: Spray this on for pain.

Who do you buy from? Try to be a user of the product yourself. You can then relate personal experience.

3. They Don't Have Relationships

People like to buy from someone they trust! Going back to our flea market wouldn't you go to the person you know rather than the 999 people you didn't know?

4. They Try To Sell

You have seen this here in the forum before. DON'T SELL TO PEOPLE - HELP THEM!
This is a MINDSET. Take the thought of sales out of your mind. Start each day with this thought:
I'm going to help people today!

5. They Promote Low Commission Products

Help People With Higher Commission Products.

If you are helping people find a product with a commission of .50 cents and your friend is helping people find a product with $50 who is going to have to have the most sales?

6. They Are Not Persistent

if your mindset is weak, you will fail. People don’t succeed because they are brilliantly smart or fail due to the lack of skills. The “finisher“ succeed, because they never give up. The loser fail, because they don’t believe in theirselves and in what they do. This is why ANYONE can be successful in this business.

True Success is not found by trying to push negative thoughts out of your head (an impossibility). True Success is common sense understanding of why people fail and avoid those same pitfalls!
