5. Believing the hype

And yes, I do mean the hype promoted by your own program. Those income projections that every program makes are just that, projections. You can make that much. Will you within your first few months of the program? Most likely not. Look at this as a long term commitment in your future, not a way to get wealthy quick. Believe in yourself and your talent to make your goals come true. But don't believe the hype.

4. Expecting instant outcome with little effort

Expect to work your business. And expect to work it daily. If you opened your own neighborhood store, you'd expect to have to go in
to work daily, would not you? You'd expect to have to advertise and get people to come to your store. Well, you just opened your own
brand new internet store, what are you going to do to make it work? How are you going to get people to come look at your product?

3. Lack of a plan and definite goals

You've most likely heard the saying, plan your work and work your plan. You need to have a specific plan and clear, quantifiable goals.
Many people join affiliate programs with the blurred goal of wanting to make a lot of money. How much money? How rapidly do you require it?
(Try to be reasonable here, making a million dollars in one month is not realistic.) Okay, you have your clear, detailed goal. Now how are you going to get there. Again, think clear, detailed steps here.

2. Advertising your affiliate link

Wait a minute, if you don't promote your affiliate link, how are you supposed to get revenues and downline members? Create your own website that has a link to your affiliate program. Every affiliate for your program gets the same website that you do. You have to be
able to make yourself dissimilar from everyone else. The way you do that is with your own website.

1. Quitting

You've been working your affiliate program for 2, 3, maybe even 4 months now with very little to show for it. You are getting dispirited
and beginning to question if this is worth it after all. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and figure out what it is you need to be doing.
Learn more. Bug your sponsor and your upline members until they help you out. Don't quit. No one ever achieved victory by quitting. Neither
will you.
