| New affiliate marketers often underestimate how much promotion is required to generate leads. To get leads that convert to sales involves knowing the best places to promote as well as how to promote. One of most common mistakes we see is marketers who focus on just 1 method of promotion. This single focused approach limits your marketing reach and your results. Don't put all your eggs in one marketing basket. Each type of marketing may have limitations so if you rely on more then one method you will get better results. Another common mistake is not being consistent in your marketing efforts. Too often we see people promote like crazy for a few days, then do less and less until they are doing virtually no marketing. Finally newbies often make the mistake of trying to BUY a totally automated INSTANT results approach to marketing. This isn't realistic and leads to disappointment, frustration and cursing. Being profitable in affiliate marketing is like any offline business, it takes time, effort and commitment. If you want your business to GROW and GROW you need to plant the seeds, then nurture it with water, feed and focused attention. This requires consistent effort and ongoing plans and application to reach new markets, tap new customers, attract new eyeballs to your offers. MORE is BETTER when it comes to promotion.
