A few weeks ago I decide to join another marketing program to build my income. The plan is solid and the opportunity to achieve my goals is there. I'm happy with the program and what it has to offer. Unfortunately I'm not very happy with my progress. Being new at this particular program but not new at marketing I didn't pay very much attention to the details. In particular, the marketing plan.
In the home based business field there are literally hundreds of internet companies that promise to make the newbie Entrepreneur wealthy by drawing in targeted traffic through their advertising programs. Having bought into a few of them I can say for a fact they are junk and are simply sucking money out of the new wannabe marketer. Better said, they don't work. But of course I learned this the hard way having bought into several blast your ad to 10 million web site advertisers and others. of course they do blast your ad to 10 million sites and of course you get 0 results.
Some other programs that are available for newbies are mentoring programs. Some claim to make the new person rich earning thousands a month in short period of time while others are good solid programs. I hope that most newbies to marketing understand or will come to understand quickly that there is no such thing as a get rich scheme that works. Can mentoring programs work for a new person, of course they can. They can work if you have a very tight Niche market and if you have the time and money and the willingness to work the suggested programs.
When it comes to Affiliate Marketing or Network marketing mentoring programs usually do not help because these are very wide open programs. These are not Niche markets or even close to being one.
I'm a little slow to learn new things especially when I think I know it all. My In-Box has been swamped with emails for the last few weeks. All coming from advertising and marketing companies I either spent some money with or simply made an enquiry to. Unfortunately these fine people do not understand it is wasted email space. I delete them and empty the trash as quickly as I see them.
Being the hard learner that I am I also deleted the emails from the program I signed up as an Affiliate with. I tend to learn the hard way so I decided to take a look at some of the emails, from my new program. What I found was all my searching was a big waste of time because the new program I signed up for not only has a great Affiliate program that can produce pay checks if done correctly it also has a plan teach you how to make money with the program. What to do and how to do it was right in front of my face the entire time.
Most companies who market on the internet through either Affiliate marketing or Network marketing have both a product of value and a marketing plan to help the new person grow their business. Some are of high value and offer a solid marketing plan while others offer plans that are nearly useless.
Having looked at many online opportunities and promotional companies I known there are many companies that will simply sell the new person a bill of goods and products that simply will not work. The online marketing industry is huge and a large percentage of it is aimed at the inexperienced newbie knowing very well their thirst for success will cause them to buy into their program no matter if it holds real value or not. Unfortunately there are far to many new people who are just starting out with a home based business that fall for the traps and spend money on things that will not work.
My suggestion for those who want a home based business that is profitable is to go through the program you are affiliated with from front to back and top to bottom. Learn what they offer in marketing programs and apply what they teach. The chances are pretty good if your involved with a successful company that their strategies have worked for others and will work for you as well.
