In recent years, many people were trying their hands on affiliate marketing, and the bad news is that around
97 percent of them failed. There are different reasons for that trend, and if you would like to avoid the most
common internet marketing pitfalls, you have to try and learn from other people’s mistakes. Read about
them below.
Expecting Too Much Too Soon
As the internet is full of scams, many people claim that it is possible to start making money in just hours
with affiliate marketing. As long as people believe this story, they will never take the business model
seriously, and can only expect the results associated with their input. Just in like every business, there is a
learning curve involved in affiliate internet marketing.
Competition
Just imagine a town of 2000 people with over 100 home repair services. Do you think that all of those
people would make a living? Obviously, not. Still, the best would find a strategy to please customers and
make them order the service from them. The same is true with affiliate marketing. There is a huge
competition and internet marketers should focus on giving people a good reason to buy from them and no
other people.
Picking the Wrong Campaigns
Those who are inexperienced with internet marketing often pick the wrong promotion methods and
campaigns. As there are hundreds of CPA networks and thousands of affiliate marketing companies on the
internet, it is not easy to find the right one at first. However, market research and participating in forums
would certainly help marketers avoid making a mistake and wasting their efforts.
Seasonal Affiliate Marketing
There is a great trend among affiliate marketers, and this is seasonal promotions. Whenever there is a new
ClickBank launch they jump on the offer, make some money and then earn nothing for the rest of the year.
Or even worse: find a seasonal offer online and market before Christmas, then spend a few months to
change their promotion for a new product. Successful affiliate marketing starts with a long term promotion
plan that involves list building and reputation management. Find out more about the advanced affiliate
