Important Steps To Becoming A Top Affiliate Within A Home Based Business

By Howe Russell


Everywhere you look on the internet you'll see opportunities to make money online as an affiliate marketer in your spare time. Companies like Empower Network and Global Domains International happily promote the idea of living life on your own terms. However, if you truly want to become your own boss via the worldwide web, how do you avoid getting lost in the mix of everybody else who's doing the same thing?

Over the last few years you may have read that over 97% of people who attempt to build an online income don't succeed. While the accuracy of that percentage could be called into question, it's certainly a fact that most people who want to build an income from home don't actually get anywhere.

You may be wondering what on Earth it is that so special few are doing which separates them from thousands of others who seemingly can't succeed. Well, you'll probably be pleased to hear that there is no big secret formula.

There are a number of things you should be doing if you are looking to establish yourself as a top sponsor within any affiliate program, all of which we will run through today. The first thing a top internet marketer must do is realize that there are no guarantees. Nothing is going to change your life for you. Every top sponsor in every home business realizes this, and they aren't afraid to work hard on their business. The common trend among people who complain about a lack of results is a lack of action.

The first step to becoming your own boss is one which most people overlook.

Before you do anything, and we mean anything at all, you need to write out a business plan. This is purely for your records and is done in order to help you succeed in achieving your goals. Draw up a plan detailing what you'd like to achieve over the next three months, then six months, and finally a long-term goal of where you would like to be one year from now with your business. Once complete, you don't need to show it to anybody if you don't want to. It may stay locked in cupboard if you wish.

Also, a lack of consistency is a regular problem here as well. By creating a business plan you enable yourself to view your venture as more than just a hopeful punt into unknown territory.

Also, in order to stand out from the crowd in your chosen opportunity you need to start thinking like a leader. The best way to do this is to provide value to others who are in the same niche as you. Most people who are trying to become their own boss need help, they are struggling. Use the huge failure statistic in the industry to your advantage by helping others with useful tips and free advice. Not only does this establish your name within your chosen company, but it gets people talking about you and seeing you as a good sponsor. A lot of people join businesses under sponsors who provide little or no value despite making big promises prior to joining. Setting yourself apart from that stereotype is a great move in becoming established as a quality, trusted leader within your niche.

The key is keeping it simple. Grab yourself a blog so you can rank your content in search engines and you're ready to go. Free tools such as Youtube and Facebook will also play an important role in establishing you as a trusted source of quality tips and information within your chosen company. The trick comes in learning how to use them as one powerful tool to build both your reputation and your business.

Notice how some folks are able to build great social media followings and enhance their reputation, whereas other people really struggle with the concept. That's because a lot of people have no structure or plan to their business. They spend hours trying to multi-task and there is no connection between the things they are doing, leaving them feeling flustered and lost. Social media needs to work as one big, powerful tool in order to succeed. Make your blog your central point. All social media resources lead people back to your blog, which not only keeps things nice and simple but also increases the reputation of your blog as a reliable source of information. [

Also, by spreading your wings into territory most marketers don't understand how to use you'll be able to reach previously untapped markets. While your blog will allow your content to be found in Google, a Youtube channel will allow you to feature videos in your posts and also have content that can be found on Youtube itself. Youtube is the internet's 2nd biggest search engine, so it's power is not to be underestimated. Fan pages on Facebook and Twitter allow for personal connection with people looking to ask questions, as well as providing you with a ready-made audience each time you want to share new content.

It all ties together. Before too long, you can essentially post a link to your content on your Twitter page and have visitors to your blog. If the blog post features a Youtube video, not only does this help you to build a relationship with the viewer but it also gives your Youtube videos more weight which allows them to increase their ranking, too.

So the truth is the successful affiliates in most home businesses are not necessarily working any harder than others, they are merely providing value and managing their time a little bit more effectively.

While it is entirely possible to make money online from your own home in your spare time, you must remember that it's still a business. And business is all about relationships. Whether you're working with a company like Avon or Empower Network doesn't really matter, the same principles apply. By providing regular, free tips that actually help others you'll separate yourself from the many unhelpful individuals in the same industry. If you also make it very easy for people to find you on all the major social media platforms, your brand will grow even further.
