Working at Home is Easy But.....
I live in an idealic part of the world with forest and
nature all around me.I have pet cattle,a beautiful garden
which gives me much pleasure,two dogs,one cat,and of course
my wife. (bless her) The only fly in the ointment is that
in order to maintain my piece of paradise,I must work! Paid
employment starts in the late afternoons until 2am the
following morning at a factory some 55 miles away.This
allows me to work at home in the mornings and early
afternoons.(naturally my wake up times are very flexible)
This routine generally works very well.
Suddenly my world was turned upside down.Can you guess what
I happened? I bought a computer!First off I went and
frenitically downloaded music to my new mp3 player which I
could not operate properly.To save my perceived
embarassment I emailed the mp3 manufacturer along the line
"my daddy bought me one of your players but he can't get it
too work for me."Their reply was a comprehensive manual
with an understanding note "we hope this will help your
daddy "Only I knew that I was the oldest kid in the world
The foregoing sets the scene for my next and continuing
adventure; internet marketing.A new and fascinating place
that still excites me to this day.I attacked internet
marketing with a vengance. Here was my exit ticket to not
being forced to leave home to work.From Google to forex
trading to Commission Junction I blindly threw myself into
this new medium. The world was going to be my oyster
because every marketing 'guru' told me how easy it was to
succeed online,never mind the fact I knew absolutely
nothing about the subject. My wife disapproved.Icould see
her point of view for I made no money but spent plenty;(I
hope she never reads this) chores were'nt getting done and
I was falling asleep at work.Panic and guilt started to
set-in to my psyche.I had to 'compute'after work by the
eerie glow of my 19inch LCD screen.(what a beauty) Mistakes
were made,wrong keys were hit,passwords lost and notes sent
to the wrong recipitants.Emails went flying around to
'guru's'to double check if I was doing the right thing.(how
are you Steve) This mayhen lasted about five months and I
felt as if I was going to blow up. I had to take a large
breath (read slap) and cut out all my programs with one or
two exceptions I felt comfortable with.Slowely but surely
my blood pressure dropped and I began to get a grip on this
brave new world.Things began to fall into place and my
learning curve headed north.
Having given you some small idea of my turbulant internet
marketing initiation I feel overqualified to be able to
give some basic tips to those of you who know very little
about the net but are contemplating taking the plunge.If I
had have applied them from the beginning of my foree into
affiliate marketing,I would have saved a heck of a lot of
time and money.Icall these my "pre sign uppers."
Firstly,have a good look at yourself.Are you
psychologically suited to internet marketing.Any successful
selling requires a certain flair;tailor your efforts to
your strengths and use the expertise of others to bulk up
your fluffy areas.One advantage of the internet is that
contact is thru a keyboard and not face to face.
A solid working knowledge of your computer before you begin
marketing will save an enormous amount of time and
frustration.This may sound strange to-day but if I was in
this position then you may be too.Your website or product
range may get set up for you but you will then have to
drive it;this will take some computer skills.
Will you be able to manage all your commitments? Internet
marketing will be a rod across your back if you already
have two jobs,six kids,and three wives.It's a fact that
especially in the beginning it takes time to get up and
running.Earning money on'auto pilot'didn't just happen for
me.
Create an area of calm and comfort without unwanted
distractions.This business requires concentration and
accuracy.You don't want the kids queueing up to play games
or email their friends.
Save a mountain of time by organizing your online/offline
work station.Do this from the start and the result will be
more time available for the other half of your life.As you
progress you will develop a rhythem of working which suites
you.
Ask questions.Everyone I've dealt with have been helpful
and courteous no matter what the silly question.I'm a
member of one forum which has become indespensable to my
progress.
Gather information thru newsletter,forums,free manuals and
the like.The more you delve into affiliate marketing the
more you'll become aware of who the experts are in your
area of interest.Accept freebies that appeal or may be
useful,just be aware that there's an underlying reason for
everything.
Dont buy any software when it's probably available for free
somewhere.Once you enter the mainstream the opportunities
to obtain software will find you.I say this with the
qualification that in some cases it does end up cost
effective and more productive to purchase a few services
and software items.
Well,it's now up to you to make the decision whether or not
to become an affiliate merketer.If you do take the plunge
get a program you will be comfortable with;one that
provides second to none products, training and on going
support.
I wish you every success
