Learn Why 99% Of Affiliate Newbies Fail? Part 2

The first reason why affiliate marketers beginners fail so miserably to earn any money online is the fierce competition. Believe me, it was easier to make money a couple of years before but today, if you really want to make a living, you need to be armed with the right knowledge and the right tools.

Let's see a couple of other reasons why these marketers fail.

1. Lack of knowledge

It's amazing to see the number of people trying to make money online with this opportunity. And it's even more amazing to see that many of them do not want to invest a cent in their education.

This is a recipe for failure. You need to know what works today and which marketing method are obsolete. Many people try to start with safelists or traffic exchanges for example. If you choose this route, you need to know that you absolutely need a squeeze page to capture your visitors' email address.

If you don't know this, you will not earn a penny from this form of advertising.

2. No website

It is possible to make money from affiliate programs, but the truth is that beginners will struggle if they don't create their own site.

Every super affiliate have one or several website.

3. Not understanding conversion rates

Another reason why newbies fail is that they don't have a clue about hoe to select a winning affiliate programs They don't even understand the numbers like ROI, cost per visitors or any other important metrics.

I made this mistake myself, I was just promoting without really knowing that the heck I was doing. Once I learned to think about my return on investment, cost per lead and other important numbers, my affiliate business really started to take off.

3. Not thinking long term

It's a fact that short term results are often really different than long term results. Be sure that you have a one year plan and that you break it down in monthly, weekly and daily tasks.
