Why Motivation Is A Key Ingredient To Success With An Affiliate Program

By Howe Russell


If you speak to any affiliate marketer you'll undoubtedly be told that anybody can become their own boss, no matter whether you speak to an Empower Network or Avon representative. That's because you'll often encounter folks who are purely interested in getting a new referral, i.e. you. However, the fact is not everyone can become their own boss. Not everyone can make money online. Not everyone is motivated enough to make it happen.

With so many affiliates using various companies, how do some succeed and some fail despite the fact they're promoting the same thing with the same start-up package? The key is often the individual's motivation for success. The home business industry is terrible for presenting itself as an instant financial solution, attracting many hopeful folks who are looking for a quick fix solution, most of whom are just not ready to become their own boss.

Believe it or not, very few of the 100,000 daily searches for ways to work from home are genuine. Most of them are carried out by people looking to stumble onto a golden opportunity. A person in that mindset has no intention or desire to start their own business or build something from the ground floor.

The MLM scene is notorious for it's false marketing and promises of an easy income via minimal effort. While some companies try to train affiliates in the reality of home business, most folks simply don't want to learn because they were only attracted thanks to the false marketing in the first place. As a result, you have someone in a catch 22 situation jumping from business-to-business in the false hope of striking it lucky one day.

Motivation is often very lacking in these individuals. After all, they're mainly turning to the internet based upon the false idea that it's going to change their life overnight without any effort on their part. That's why so many people in the home business industry quit within the first six months.

Despite the fact that they're trying to build an income for themselves, most people quit because they put a massive amount of pressure on themselves to succeed overnight. By overnight, we mean within the first six months. That's no way to run a good business! Watch how successful entrepreneurs work and you'll notice that everything is distinctly more long-term. [

Like a lot of other things in life, motivation is a useless attribute if no further action is taken. While countless internet marketers spend all day posting inspirational quotes to their social network followers, very few of them live their lives by the motivational words they're preaching to others. Once the going gets tough, all that motivational talk goes out of the window and they fall flat.

Indeed, motivation is a tricky subject. It's one which is key to the home business industry because those who have it in spades generally find it easier to make money online regardless of what business they use. Then you have companies like Empower Network which try to use motivational material as a product because they know most affiliates are in need of it. One thing is for sure, you need to be very confident and motivated if you are going to build any business from the ground up.
