Everyone has seen them. The websites that promise you can
start making money in fifteen minutes. The adverts claiming
you could start making a hundred thousand pounds a month.
The ebooks that swear they can make you a millionaire.
It sounds too good to be true, right?
In general, that's because it is.
There is a chance you could start making money with
affiliate marketing within fifteen minutes. You might start
making a hundred thousand pounds a month. And it is
possible that, out there somewhere, there is an ebook that
can make you a millionaire.
There is also the chance that you could win the lottery.
And if you believe these promises, you will probably be
better off trying to do that.
Most of these promises are rubbish. You will not start
making money in fifteen minutes. Most of these ebooks are
so long you probably won't even have finished reading it by
then! After that, you still have to set up a website, write
some sales copy, find products to promote, design an
advertising campaign…
Maybe the ebook you have does not mention these things.
Maybe it suggests you can just whack an advert up on Google
Adwords and expect the money to start pouring in. If it
does, it is wrong. Google Adwords is one of the hardest
ways to make money, and one of the easiest ways to lose it.
The chances of you making hundreds of thousands of pounds a
month are slim as well, as are the chances of you becoming
a millionaire. I have no doubt it is possible, but very few
manage it. Those who do tend to put in years of work,
educating themselves about every aspect of marketing and
spending hours refining their campaigns. They also tend to
be very intelligent with a natural talent for selling!
The reason promises like these are made is simple: because
people want to believe them. They want to believe that the
product they are about to buy can change their lives, make
them rich. They dream of a better life. There is nothing
wrong with that: but it isn't an attitude that will make
them money. Marketers know that they aren't selling an
informational product. They're selling a fantasy. That's
why they make the wild promises they do.
The fact is, it's difficult to make money. You need time,
patience, and the willingness to work hard. And you need to
find a good product that will tell you what you need to
know: a product that gives you advice you can act on, not
just the hope that one day you could make as much money as
some of the super-affiliates.
How do you spot a product like that? It can be difficult.
Look for products that don't make promises that are too
wild. They should at least sound realistic – so no programs
that promise they can make you a millionaire in 24 hours!
But try to ignore the promises and claims that this ebook
can make you rich. Read carefully, and see what is actually
offered.
Affiliate marketers make all sorts of wild promises and
claims. You need to read carefully to find the truth hidden
behind the hyperbole.
