If you do not know what an affiliate program is Wholesale Derek Rivers Jersey , it is simply the process of merchants paying you to bring them sales or leads.
Here is why affiliate marketing is so easy and profitable:
1. Affiliate programs are free to join. The merchants do not charge you to become an affiliate, because they obviously want you to succeed.
2. Merchants spend hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in advertising, that very rarely results in a sale. Seen all the commercials on Television? Do you think everyone who see it will buy the product? Of course not!
3. Merchants love affiliate programs because they are able to pay you only if a sale is made. And because this advertising is a guaranteed sale for them, they are able to pay you very well Wholesale Malcom Brown Jersey , usually between 10-30%. They are happy to do so because the sale has already been made.
4. Since we are still in the early years of affiliate marketing, there is a large shortage of affiliates. There will be many people who sign up to become an affiliate, but either do not have the skills or the time to become very successful. They will then blow off future opportunities simply because they failed with one affiliate merchant.

I know it's more popular to think of entrepreneurs as "haggard," working hard and hustling to make their mark. But you can have a successful business with ease. It can, and should Wholesale Deatrich Wise Jr. Jersey , be fun.
We define a "Joyful Entrepreneur" as one who enjoys and takes ownership of hisher business (whether he owns it or is working for someone else), one who utilizes her strengths and passions and creates a life she loves.
Top Ten Tips for Joyful Entrepreneurship (whether you are a Joyful Entrepreneur or strive to be one)
1. Create a really juicy and compelling vision. A goal by itself is flat and lifeless without a vision. Spend time making that goal come alive by imagining what it will be like when you have accomplished your goals. Make it compelling, real, fun Wholesale Devin McCourty Jersey , and personal to you and your life. This is what gets you excited about taking action to make a goal happen!
For example, I am writing a digital workbook called, "Package Your Passion ? Expand Your Business with Workshops and Teleclasses." If I focus on the goal of getting it done, and then I think of where is the time going to come from to write this Wholesale Stephen Gostkowski Jersey , what kind of technology should I use... I end up getting bogged down in the "hows" and don't make any progress.
On the flip side, if I think about how good it will feel to have an eBook completed - I feel excited. I imagine myself being thrilled to have a way of offering value to people who want to tap into my coaching and marketing expertise. The thought of recurring revenue feels really good and effortless, too (as opposed to coaching 40 ? 50 clients). The thought of more revenue makes me think of how many more people I will be able to reach with my message, and I feel like I'm making a contribution in the world that feels really authentic. Can you see and feel how more alive that sounds? I'm ready to stop writing this newsletter and get to work on the book!
2. Your home is the foundation for business growth. If your home environment - your house Wholesale Dont'a Hightower Jersey , your relationships, bill paying, chores - are in chaos or are dysfunctional, then it's constantly in the back of your mind Wholesale James White Jersey , sucking away your creativity and energy.
Decide now to take care of those things to provide a clear foundation for your mind. What can you do take care of it? Automate bill paying, get a maid (in my case, I found a housekeeper who will actually take care of the house and cook us a home-cooked meal twice a week. I can't tell you how freeing that makes me feel!) Ask a friend to come over and help you organize your junk drawers or clear clutter. Taking the time to take care of your home and life will free your mind to focus on things other than what's not working or draining your energy.
3. Work from your Strengths. Know what you are good at and what you enjoy doing and then PLAN that into your business. Don't plan to send out a weekly ezine if you hate to write. This is the key to building a sustainable business and enjoying life - build on what you enjoy, and the rest comes naturally.
4. Get help before you need it. It's easier to get to the next level of success in your business and enjoyment in your life if you have help. The issue isn't about whether or not you can do a particular task. It's about whether that's the best place for you to spend your time. The question this increase my energy? Am I excited to do this particular thing? Or Wholesale Tom Brady Jersey , does it feel like a "have to"? Look for ways to redesign those activities - let go of it, delegate, trade services, or hire someone to help.
Spend time thinking about the ideal partner for the help you need. Don't wait until it's crisis mode and you're forced to make quick decisions. If you can tell your business is going through a growth spurt or getting ready to grow Wholesale Rob Gronkowski Jersey , think about what will help make this growth successful. Think about getting help from an assistant (real or virtual) to handle the small administrative duties, someone to update your website, or market your business. This takes pressure and time off.
