Successful affiliate marketers see obstacles as opportunities to learn, not reasons to give up. They have learned the underlying secret of success: the persistence of the country.
Persistence brings its own unique reward in the form of what I call the four Rs: resources, accomplishment, relationships, and rewards.
1.Resources
By sticking with an affiliate program, you’ll be able to understand the resources available to you and how best to use them for your program. Many affiliate programs today provide support for affiliate marketing in the form of individual ads, classified ads, banners, suggested signature lines, articles for your website or blog, safe list memberships, viral e-books, viral reports, marketing videos and autoresponder message series.
These resources are often supported by forums, chat rooms, conference calls, and tutorials where you can learn how to make the best use of these resources for the affiliate program involved.
It is not possible in two or three months to effectively use all of these resources or fully understand your affiliate program, product and/or service offering, and relevant target market dynamics.
By not sticking with your affiliate program, you are missing out on learning opportunities and underutilizing the resources available to you (which you are ultimately paying for).
two.Realization
Persistence brings greater fulfillment through exposure to these affiliate resources, successful affiliates, and the systems that support your affiliate program. You learn (over time) which marketing strategies are the most profitable for the product or service you are marketing through your affiliate program.
You also come to fully appreciate your program’s tracking system, reporting system, and commission structure. Persistence helps you better understand the features and benefits of your product/service offering, the actual target market, and how to sell to this market.
Persistence can bring the realization of the best way to use your resources and personal skills for your affiliate program. It can also help you discover ways to achieve synergy between the various affiliate programs you participate in.
3.Relations
Persistence builds relationships over time, especially if you actively communicate with your sponsor, upline, downline, and other affiliates through the affiliate program’s forum, conference calls, or teleclasses.
The relationships, in turn, provide resources, support, encouragement, and ideas to help you improve your effectiveness and income as an affiliate. You can access affiliate marketing training through these relationships.
If you don’t persist, you cut yourself off from these relationship benefits.
Four.rewards
Persistence can bring a variety of rewards. Loyalty to an affiliate program is often rewarded by a sponsor or owner of the program. Sometimes this takes the form of discounts, bonuses, additional credits, or downline members. You can also benefit through the natural evolution of the program as it is refined, improved, and updated. Old members are usually given the first access to new offers.
Persistence can lead to you emerging as a program leader, which in turn can lead to lucrative offers to act as a leader in another affiliate program.
These four R’s (resources, achievements, relationships, and rewards) are interdependent. With persistence comes a form of synergy where the four R’s reinforce each other and you receive an even greater benefit from the fact that they are actively working together to increase your affiliate income.
Country Persistence – Takes you to another level of development as an affiliate marketer, deepens your understanding of affiliate marketing, enriches your online experience, and provides monetary rewards.
How often have you asked yourself: where would I be now if I had just stuck with that other affiliate program?
