Ready, now here we go…

# 1. WRONG Attitude:

Believing that visitors will just click on your affiliate links and buy. As an affiliate marketer, your primary work is to do what we call “pre-selling". Notwithstanding, the art of pre-selling goes beyond merely displaying affiliate links on your site or blog.

But pre-selling involves that you help your visitors to understand the benefits or solutions to problems that the products or services you are promoting you give them.

By employing this swift method, you can then encourage them to click on your licks. Whether you are using article, sales letter, text links or landing page, you will only be successful if you give some favorable recommendations of the product.

It is also good to provide good offers design to attract your readers to warm up and check up the product on the merchant’s site.

# 2. WRONG Attitude:

Belief that you can get free organic traffic. Well this only seems true on paper, but in reality there is really nothing as free organic traffic. I believe it is more of myth than reality.

You see, if you own an affiliate marketing website, do you think people will find you without promoting it?

No of course!

You must engage in some conscious, deliberate SEO marketing and techniques on a consistent basis in order for web searchers to find you via search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and others.

With time, your search engine optimization marketing campaign efforts will start paying off. People will start visiting your site after typing in the keywords you’d promoted via smart SEO such as linking strategies and on-page strategies.

Perhaps, this may account why some guys call it ‘free organic search traffic’ because you do not pay for the traffic. But this assertion is very wrong and awfully misleading to new comers online.

# 3. WRONG Attitude:

Thinking one marketing strategy or method is all you need online. Can you imagine some guys saying that if you submit one or few articles to the article directories, you will get all the traffic to make sale?

If you believe this kind of error, you will actually earn poverty and not money! Just like any business offline, you must be flexible in marketing your affiliate marketing website.

Spread your dragnet far and wide – look out for the places your potential customers are congregating and promote there.

Using a combination of email list, PPC, buying text ads/banners, SEO, article marketing, generating list on your site, forum marketing, engaging in article syndications etc will help you a great deal. Don’t limit the potential of your site.

# 4. WRONG Attitude:

Wrong attitude toward the performances of your marketing campaign. I remember when I newly started online; I was more fascinated in checking on how much money I’d earned and nothing else. This is a big mistake that I found most affiliate marketers online are also making.

You know why this attitude is dangerous? When you care only for the check then the tendency is to give up soon when you find out that the money earned is small.

What you should do is to study your campaigns in order to discover areas that need adjustments.

Look you will go a long way if you take time to study and fine tune every aspect of your marketing or promotional campaign. This will help you deploy the best and most money making campaigns for your affiliate marketing online.

At least check and study the following about your visitors:How many visitors is your site generating? How many of the visitors are unique? How many of them are returning to your site? Check the length of time each spends on your site and the pages on your site? Find out the country and state they are based? Etc.

Don’t worry because this task is easy. With an excellent traffic stat tool, you can get to know all these information and much more on the click. A good one is www.statcounter.com. You can start with the free version.

# 5. WRONG Attitude:

Wrong choice of affiliate marketing program. It seems many newbie affiliate marketers easily get carried away with popular opinions or sentiments when choosing an affiliate program.

Many people usually make the fatal mistake of signing up with online affiliate programs that do not offer them sellable products.

It is good to go for high commissions, but can you really make the promised commission if the product you are promoting is difficult to sell? Well you know the answer yourself now – you won’t make a dime online!
