If you’ve just entered the world of affiliate marketing, understand why you’re there.
Are you exploring an additional source of income to add to a regular job? Are you looking to replace your current job with a new career? Or have you found yourself without a job and looking to generate income?
Understanding your answers to these questions will help you focus on your chances of success with affiliate marketing.
If you decide to use affiliate marketing as a source of income, make sure you understand the four pillars for a successful decision:
- Hour
- Money
- tip
- Support
Hour
Understand that it will take time.
Do you have time to commit?
Are you willing to spend some of your available time to make this happen? If you don’t have time, are you going to figure out how to do it?
What are you willing to give up in order to be successful in internet marketing? How patient are you?
The truth is that it will take longer than you think.
Money
A corollary of time is money.
How much do you need? Do you have the money to support you during the time it takes to learn affiliate marketing and be successful?
How much money will you need from affiliate marketing to support yourself? Are you sure that’s enough?
You always need more money than you think you need.
