Buyer Beware: Affiliate Marketers Don"t Believe The Hype
Buyer beware: Don't believe the hype, the only one's making millions from a few clicks are those who put in the hard work in the beginning and now they use you to do the hard work for them.
You are being sold on this idea because it is a pretty picture of how everything works.
This concept sells because people believe the hype.
They believe that they can earn millions with a program by just buying some PPC clicks on Google.
What they are not told is that PPC clicks are first and foremost for those who are experienced and even then there are no guarantees especially with the changes that have taken place with a lot of these PPC programs.
Affiliate Marketing reviews are sites that talk about different affiliate products.
In reality you don't really need this because if you are using a affiliate company like clickbank they have their own stats directly on their website which make deciding which programs to promote much easier.
If you feel that you must have this information you could join forums.
Since forums are communities of like-minded people you will be able to get some good information if you go there and read through the boards.
Coaching programs can be a good thing but they can also bleed you dry (monitarily) if you don't do your research first and choose the right mentor.
My advise before deciding to go with a mentoring program is to first build a relationship with the person you are considering becoming your mentor.
If they have a newsletter, sign up for it.
Read what they have to say.
If they are always "selling" this is probably not the person you want to follow.
High cost automated systems are not in my personal opinion for those who are just getting started and who do not have the capital to invest in them.
Some of the people who market these systems could care less how you get the money.
Some would even suggest you put the system on a credit card which is probably the worst thing you could do for yourself.
Best advise, if you can afford it, and you know the seller, you believe in the potential, and they have a guarantee; go for it.
However, if you are like most new affiliate marketers getting started online, best thing to do would be to do the old fashioned hard work.
Build your income and when you have expendable income you can look at some of the high ticket items.
The important thing is to not go further into debt trying to pay for something you cannot afford.
Don't be fooled by the false promises, you can be successful.
