Money Making Tips – Lessons on Affiliate Marketing pt. 16 – Making it Real

It’s been said before that a dream has a lot of power. But without action, that same dream never amounts to anything. How do you ensure that your dream of making money online will come true? How do you know if it will or not? The truth is, you don’t know if it will or not. Only you can know that. But the only way to make any progress is simply to struggle on. It’s true that if you follow the right plan to a “T” you will see results. So why do so many people fail? The truth is, they either don’t know how to follow a plan, or they lose faith in it. In any case, the point is not a plan; the point is seeing real results and acting on them. When I was first starting out online, the thing that really changed everything for me was when I could “SEE” real results for myself. That was the most encouraging thing that I found. So how do you see real results? How do you see your progress if you haven’t even made one affiliate sale online? How, how, how…

If you haven’t even made “ONE” affiliate sale online, then let me address this next part specifically to you. When I was working with squidoo and making my first affiliate sale online (squidoo is where I started), it actually surprised me when I made my first sale. I knew that’s what I was doing it for…but in the process of doing it I had actually kind of lost track of the fact that I was doing it for money. The reason for this is that I was working on visitors; I was working on getting organic search results, things that are very concrete, real goals, but that have nothing to do with money. You too can do this, and I’m going to show you a few goals that you can have, that have nothing to do with money…

1. Clicks

2. Visitors

3. Organic Search Results

4. “Likes” or other sharing results

5. …and others

No matter if you’re using a social media content site like HubPages or Squidoo, or if you have your own website, you should always be able to track the visitors or organic/paid/direct traffic you’re getting. It’s important for one thing, and terribly interesting for another thing. If you know that 99% of your traffic is coming from paid traffic, even though you’re doing tons of article marketing, this could be a very bad thing. Something about your article marketing just isn’t cutting it. If, however, you’re getting a healthy amount of organic search traffic then you’re probably doing something right. Try to set some simple goals like this for yourself if you can, and see if you don’t start to get motivation to work harder. When you get addicted to this kind of goal-setting, eventually sales will roll in and you will say to yourself, whew, how did that happen?!
