Well, the biggest reason is that there are some 3 billion people who are searching for information and looking for solutions to problems online. Working online from home and getting in front of some of these people would be a smart business to be involved with.
So how can we do that?
With affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can do this. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily at Wealthy Affiliates, and there is no need to go anywhere as they are available online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and you can learnall you need to know. (I will talk more about them soon).
In the meantime let’s now look at the biggest fear/problem people have to work online, and that is SELLING…
How to Sell?
Expert salespeople and successful marketers know and understand the importance of selling the problem first, which is why they always start off by describing the problems that their product or service is the answer to.
By doing so they ensure that they have a ‘target’ audience for the solution they are proposing. Then once they have identified potential customers they then proceed to unearth the potential clients ‘hot buttons’ and this is usually achieved by asking questions or in the case of online marketing, presenting the proposal in a helpful and customer focused way.
But It Doesn’t Always Happen
Unfortunately, most salespeople and marketers jump right into selling the features and benefits of their product, or service without taking the time to understand if the prospect even has a need for the solution they are presenting.
So to sell something successfully, you should always “sell the problem BEFORE you sell the solution!”
So creating an affiliate website is not about selling. Instead, it’s about giving your readers accurate information and presenting real solutions to problems.
How to Provide Information?
One way to present information is through the use of product recommendations that actually provides a real solution to a real problem.
When you are recommending products this way, there are some things to remember in how to make this type of product promotion work to your advantage.
Also
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather than lose points, this will make your recommendation more believable and will tend to increase your credibility. If your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than happy to learn what is good and what is not so good about the product and how it will benefit them.
Most top selling marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting products because if the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will also trust your recommendations.
Something Else
Another thing to remember is to avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident than to scream out and seek attention. Remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to the internet more and more and are asking experts and many already know the things that you know.
Buyer resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche and are trustworthy, they are more inclined to make a purchase through you.
Also, before you recommend a product, you should at the very least have given it a try and have tested the products support service. Do not run the risk of promoting junk merchandise and services. Just remember that it takes a long time to build credibility and trust among your visitors, and this can all be destroyed by one small mistake on your part.

Last Time
In a previous post, I gave a short history lesson on economic wealth and talked about “The invisible hand” concept of the free market and how it works best when it is run from the bottom up.
I mentioned that in the past, economies and communities were controlled by the very visible hand of kings, queens, and emperors and how these tyrants used the economy for their own benefit and how the masses worked extremely hard for only a small portion of the production of their own efforts. I mentioned the power structure and you can see it in the image below;
Not Much Has Changed
Not much has changed. Just the names and titles of those involved.
But why is it important to mention this?
Because if you’re not one of the top 1% it didn’t work for YOU then, and it’s not working for YOU now!
“What has this got to do with, ‘How to work online from home?Stay with me – and you will soon see”.
The Economic Power
The economic power of any system run from the bottom up cannot be overemphasized. True free market capitalism is what creates real wealth, not political intervention.
Today, we see a breakdown of the entire global economy because of the top-down, political control mentality of the free market system. The effects of which is the cause of the worsening global financial situation we are witnessing each day.
“We are seeing this in places like the ‘stock market‘, that if you don’t re-organise your business model into one, that’s run from the bottom-up and focused on your customer. – You will go broke!
Real-life examples such as former rock-solid, giant companies like, Kodak, General Motors, Polaroid, Bethlehem Steel, are just some, whose stock price has crashed.
These are all perfect examples of top-down mentalities that reversed the free market rules, ‘got into bed with the politicians‘ while ignoring the ‘customers‘ at the bottom, all to their eventual peril.
More Evidence
Evidence of this upside down mentality impacting in the marketplace, is the recent statistics from the Music Recording Industry. It shows that worldwide revenues have fallen every year from $26.6 billion in 1999 – to less than $15billion in 2014.
Revenue has fallen but the number of people listening to music has gone up.
Capitol Records Building a Music Industry Icon
In the old days, talented singers or performers had to struggle to find a good agent who was ‘connected’ to the ‘right‘ producers or record labels. Sometimes they performed for free just for an opportunity and hoped that they might be ‘discovered‘.
It was Hard
It was a tough business, sometimes they lived in tiny apartments and ate dry biscuits, trying to survive the best they could while they focused on their ‘dream‘.
The ‘system’ and the agents didn’t really care because there were thousands of wannabe artists desperate to get a break and unless you got ‘lucky’ or someone associated with someone high-and-mighty recommended you, it just wasn’t going to happen.
It was a top-down, dog-eat-dog environment. The consumers, the listeners and viewers were at the mercy of the music industry ‘system’. They decided what talent was, and you (the market) could only consume what was put in front of you. Your choice of music was decided by them. It had been that way for years; the ‘people‘ (the market) had no say.
You have a dream: You want to become an Internet Marketer, and make lots and lots of money online so one day you can tell your boss to ‘have a nice day.’
In this dream scenario you work less, make more money so you can quit your day job. – Then you see it!
It’s a sales letter that reads, “Work online earn money” and next week you can kiss your day job goodbye, forever.” It continues… “this is the best small business to start and you will be rich in no time at all”…blah blah blah.
But In Reality
But sadly, real life doesn’t work like that. It turns out to be just another scam. Or if it is legit and you do make some money, it’s not usually enough to allow you to quit your job.
In fact, life continually gets in the way. You may even make a little extra money but then it dries up. Or youhave an emergency and the extra money you made gets you out of that crisis but you’re no further ahead.
Or perhaps you have the best of intentions but you haven’t quite got around to making the ‘elusive fortune‘ online and you still have your job. Even though you swore you would be retired and living the easy life by now.
But….Whoops…
How do you eat a watermelon? Unless you’re a Hippopotamus, you really can’t get it all into your mouth in one go, so instead you must eat it one small bite at a time.
It’s No Different
Building your online income so you can tell your boss ‘to shove it‘, works the same way. You do it one step at a time and you go through the process of replacing your current income, one little step at a time.
It’s a funny thing because really you can make $5,000 a month online fairly easily, but only when you KNOW you can do it. But first you need an education, in internet marketing and until you KNOW how this dream may seem just out of reach.
As long as the goal seems out of reach your subconscious will sabotage your every step and see to it that it never happens.
If you can’t conceive it, there is no way you’re going to achieve it, no matter how hard you try.
Riding A Bike
It’s like learning to ride a bike, once you learn how, you never forget. But no-one learned to ride a bike without falling off at least once and even though it was painful, we just got back on and tried again.
Why? Because as children, we never ever thought that we couldn’t do it. Every other kid was riding a bike and we were going to do it too!
We struggled and never gave up because there was nothing in our subconscious to stop us, ‘fighting‘ to learn how to ride that bike.
Magic Does Happen
The magic is this; Instead of sitting down at your computer and thinking, “Okay, I’m going to make enough money to quit my job! Or “I’ve got to make enough money to cover all my expenses this month.”
You simply tell yourself you’re going to make enough to cover one little bill. This simple trick will help you outsmart your subconscious, which is alway fighting you. Not wanting you to move out of your comfort zone.
If you do this one small step at a time, You’re no longer trying to create an entire business, or changing your life, because your subconscious really doesn’t like changes. Instead, you’re simply taking one small step.
Get that first bill paid and you’ll be on your way enjoying numerous little successes along the way that will fuel you and keep you going to achieving financial freedom, one step at a time.
Start Small
So pick a monthly bill, any bill, maybe it’s your $100 electric bill, great. Now focus on getting enough income coming in each month to completely cover that bill. All you need to make a consistent $100 a month and that bill is then taken care of.
Don’t spend this new income on anything other than paying that bill. Any money you make above what it takes to pay the bill is either reinvested into your business.
The Next Step
You then pick another bill and start covering that every month, too. And you just keep adding another bill, then another bill, into the mix until they are ALL covered.
This should include your mortgage or rent, and your food, in fact, everything.
Your Mind
Your mind can wrap itself around this concept of taking it one step at a time. Your subconscious will stop fighting you and you’ll be surprised how easy the process becomes.
It’s all about small steps that prove you can do it and that proof will allow you to move on to the next level, and the next and on and on it will go.
Success
Once you’ve got all of your bills covered and then some, you can now quit your day job with confidence because now you KNOW you can make money online.
There is no question. You’ve already proven you’ve got the confidence and the skills. But notice how you did it, not all at once, but simply one bill at a time.
You’re no longer trying to create an entire business all you are doing, is simply taking the first steps.
Get that first bill paid and you’ll be on your way to achieving total financial freedom, one step at a time without your subconscious sabotaging your success.
