Affiliate marketing is a business like any other in many ways, and so it attracts the same wide variety of people that other industries do – possibly even more so, since affiliate marketing enjoys a world-wide audience. So like every category of business since the dawn of our race, some might stretch the truth a little further than others, to be polite about it…

Look through your inbox if you’re already into affiliate marketing or even just starting to check it out as a possible business venture. How many of the subject lines are for products and resources being hailed as the next ultimate solution? How many affiliate marketers and online merchants are trying to make you think their recommendation is an ‘easy button’ – a solution to all your online problems, some set-and-forget trick that will bring you a massive affiliate income with no effort on your part? They may not say it in so many words, but you recognize the intent to position it that way, don’t you?

You’ll never see that from a super-affiliate. They recognize that they want – and need – to do business with you long term if they want to maintain their standard of living, so they avoid setting you up for obvious disappointment in what they promote. Instead they’ll tell you what the tool or resource does, how it can help you, and leave it up to you whether it’s right for your business or not. After all, with tens or hundreds of thousands of marketers on their e-zine list, they know any given tool is only right for a percentage of their readers at any given time.

So don’t be one of the affiliate marketing newbies who hops from product to product hoping to find that ‘magic button’ – for all the hype from some quarters, there is no ‘trick’ to affiliate marketing success. It comes from learning the promotional systems that work currently in your chosen niche and using those to promote only top-quality, useful products that you truly believe can help your readers. Systems like building your e-zine list with targeted prospects at all times, maintaining regular contact with your readers, providing a good ratio of content to sales pitches, etc.

Starting as you go through your inbox today, identify which marketers are hyping you and which are pointing you to helpful resources, not designed to be an easy button but just to help in some part of what you’re doing online in your affiliate marketing. Unsubscribe from the former and give that extra time and attention to the latter – and learn how to build successful affiliate marketing systems of your own!

    Like anyone who has been working online for even just a few days, I see those types of hype filled emails all the time. It takes a bit of practice though to be able to quickly see which ones are true hype and which are worth taking a longer look at.

    Doug Champigny says…

    Good point, Joel – and we should point out that it does get easier once you’ve been online as long as you & I have. You just start to recognize the patterns that the hype tends to take versus the legitimate e-mails. -DC.

    Great points. Even with segmenting of lists any specific offer is usually only applicable to a % of the list.

    Providing people with why it would help and who it will help makes their decision easier and helps teach the rest what it does.

    Doug Champigny says…

    That’s the trick these days, eh Mike? Getting a good strong content-filled e-mail through the filters while keeping it short enough to meet today’s ‘sound bite’ attention spans. Your e-zine is a good example for people to follow, and one of the ones I read every day. -DC.

    I think I understand exactly what you are saying and it makes a lot of sense to me. My inbox is loaded with all kinds of wild offers and I know some are over the top. And it would be nice to clear out and unsubscribe to a lot of the email I am getting. Thanks.

    Doug Champigny says…

    It’s a task we all need to do from time to time, Andre – I get up to about 150 e-zines, then have to pare it back to about 100 when I find I’m not having time to read every one that I want to. It’s often hard deciding who to cut and who to keep, until you start thinking in terms of who’s helping me and who’s just helping themselves TO me. ;-) -DC.
