It is not surprising to know that there are many people who started
their own affiliate marketing business but only a small percentage of
them will be able to make a full time income that is enough for them to
quite their day job. Is it because the affiliate marketing industry is
getting too competitive, not an easy business for people with no
technical skills or it is just a myth that it is possible to make long
term income from this business?
The fact is that most the reasons
that people gave for their failure in this business is simply just
excuses. If you really want to get results from your own affiliate
marketing business, you will need to make sure that you are doing the
right things. Here are the 3 things that you need to be aware if you
want to get long term affiliate income.
Having The Dedication And Discipline To Achieve Results
If
you really want to make a full time income online from your own
affiliate marketing business and you are new to this business, you
should start thinking how dedicated you need to be in order to achieve
the results. Let's make use of learning driving as an example. If you
wanted to make a living as a professional racer, do you think it is
enough to just practice a few hours weekly and become to be good enough
to compete in the race? If you are just starting out, you will still
need to know the basic skills on how to drive the car.
Once you
know how to drive the car, you will still need to spend a lot of your
time to master the advanced skills that are needed in competitive races.
Professional racers will spends many hours on a daily basis to hone
their skills, study the game, identify their problems and stick to one
training system as that is the way to get results.
You will want
to put in the same effort into building your own affiliate marketing
business. Most people will purchase one internet marketing system, get
excited about it, follow the system for one or two weeks and just give
up when they did not see results. The main problem is that most of them
are not following the system closely and they are simply not prepared to
do the required work to achieve the results. Most of the successful
marketers will have the discipline to follow the system very closely
till they get results and they might even create their own system which
works better.
Focus On Following One System
There are
many products available on the internet that teaches the different
systems to make money online. Most of these products give good advice
except for some junk product. The fact is that most of the systems will
requires the person to use techniques that might be tedious, repetitive
and it will take some times before it will start to show some results.
Many of them will start to complain that the system is not working as
they did not get much result.
Before you start to complain, you
will want to take note of the amount of correct work you have done to
promote your business. Yes, you need to make sure that you are doing the
right working as doing the wrong work for long period of time will not
give you any results. You need to start asking yourself several
questions like:
- Have you written and posted articles consistently?
- Have you done the proper keyword research?
- Have you follow the traffic plan consistently?
Most people
will reply that they did not do much of the task required or they did
not do the task consistently. You need to take note that most of the
proven systems online will requires you to do certain tasks consistently
over a period of time before you will be able to start seeing some
results. If the driving instructor requires you to practice 5 hours
daily but you only practice 5 hours weekly, do you think you will be
able to master the skills. Are you going to start blaming or you are
going to take responsible for your own action?
Having The Discipline To Set Some Time For Your Business
Most
people living in the modern society will complain that they do not have
enough time. If you want to see results from your affiliate marketing
business, you will need to commit some time to growing it. According to
research done by the Neilsen Company, an average American watches at
least 4 hours of TV every day. You can imagine the amount of work that
can be done to grow your business if you invested like 1 or 2 hours into
your business. Watching the TV 4 hours daily will not get you any
results as there is no systems that will allow you to earn money while
you don't have to do any work.
When you are learning something
new, you will have to overcome the learning curve before you will be
able to master the skills. If you are investing time consistently into
your business, you will be able to overcome the learning curve much
faster which means that you will be nearer to achieving the results.
Focus on following one system closely, do all the required tasks and
focus on overcoming any problems that you might face. It is definitely
worth skipping some TV daily to do productive work which will brings you
consistent stream of income on a long term basis.
The affiliate
marketing business will requires you to commit your time, effort and
money into growing your business. If you have not done everything that
you can to make your affiliate marketing dream a reality, it is time for
you to start taking action now. Don't forget to check out The Corner Market-ing. Click here or on my name and see the many proven opportunities we have to offer. That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

He Reward Even The Little Things
"And whosoever shall give
to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." Matthew 10:42
MATTHEW 10:1-42, 11:1, MARK 6:7-13, LUKE 9:1-6
This verse shows that even our smallest acts of kindness will be rewarded. As revealed in 1 Corinthians 3:13, every man's work shall be tried to determine "what sort it is," not what size it is. Many people who have never done anything to gain the attention of the masses will shine bright in the day when the Lord passes out His rewards.
Some of the Lord's rewards for our actions come in this life, such as children, financial blessings, health, and many others. However, some of our rewards will not be realized until we stand before God. This is the case with the reward for enduring persecution.
Many of the rewards for ministering the Gospel will not come until we appear before the Lord. Rewards can be shared by those who aid others in their righteous tasks.
The ungodly who are not in the Kingdom of God will receive no rewards even though some of their actions might have been good. Rewards are only for those who have been cleansed from their evil deeds by the blood of the Lamb.
Regardless of what these rewards shall be, there will not be any exalting of self over others. "For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" (1 Cor. 4:7) The twenty-four elders in Revelation 4:10 are shown casting their crowns (which were rewards) down before the Lord and giving all their praise and worship to Him. It's all because of Him. Thank Him today for His goodness. Be Blessed and as always "Enjoy Your Coffee" by Andrew Wommack

ABOUT PERSECUTION
"But when they persecute
you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye
shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be
come." Matthew 10:23
MATTHEW 10:16-26
Persecution is an inevitable part of the Christian life. Persecution is from Satan and is designed to uproot God's Word in our lives by taking our eyes off Jesus. We should not think it is strange to be persecuted. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Tim. 3:12). We can actually rejoice because we are being persecuted, for Jesus' sake, knowing that the Lord will be with us in the midst of the persecution and that there will be more than ample reward when we stand before Him (Heb. 11:26).
Persecution is an indication that the ones doing the persecuting are under conviction. They realize that they are not living what your words or actions are advocating and so, in defense of self, they attack the ones whom they perceive to be the source of their conviction. If this is understood, it makes persecution much easier to take. They aren't just mad at you; they are convicted. When the Gospel is presented in the power of the Holy Spirit, there will always be either a revival or a riot, but not indifference.
There are many forms of persecution. Having your life threatened because of your faith in Jesus is one way you can be persecuted, but it is not the most damaging. History shows that the Church has always flourished under persecution with increased numbers and zeal. During intense, life-threatening persecution, people's priorities get straightened out and the Lord assumes His rightful place. This always works for our good, regardless of what our outward circumstances might be. Remember it is not you that they are persecuting, but rather Christ in you.

Thanks to the advent of the Internet and incredible advancements in
technology, being an affiliate marketer today has never been easier. It
has also made the work environment more accessible and convenient.
Most affiliate marketers today work from home which not only saves enormous amounts of time and money, but allows business owners the luxury of working at any hour they choose as well as balancing family and personal life.
For the typical affiliate marketer, a great day would like something like this...
After the usual morning routine of waking up and getting ready for the day, the computer in the office is turned on to check out the latest developments that are happening in the market. If need be, the affiliate marketer may need to tweak a few things here and there to make sure everything is running smoothly and that customer's orders have been properly fulfilled.
Next, the website needs to be fine-tuned to ensure maximum efficiency. If not, visitor and conversion rates will decline and that means lower sales.
Once this is done, it's time to submit your program to affiliate marketing directories. Not only do these directories help to attract people in joining your affiliate program but it is a great way of promoting your name and program to other affiliate marketers.
Next, you will spend some time reviewing the number of sales you are receiving from affiliates and to ensure they are accurate. This will include such things as: phone orders, proper communication has been sent out to customers, any new visitors to the website, recording contact information, etc.
One way to ensure more sales is to stay visible and accessible. That means you must selectively choose only the best and most effective ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations that will keep attracting visitors to your website each day.
In addition to this, inquiries from prospects must be answered quickly and efficiently to keep them happy and from going to your competition.
Next, it's important to keep in constant contact with other affiliates in the same program and to build solid relationships with them. You'll want to discuss important things such as best practices and tips, how to best promote each other's products and so on.
After this is completed, you'll write and submit an article or two to e-zine. After checking in on the market once again for any new developments, you will share this information as well as introduce new products with your customers via e-mail, newsletters, blogs, etc. You will also want to update any old content with fresh and relevant information. In these communication messages, don't forget to show your appreciation to those who have helped promote you and your products. You can do so by briefly mentioning the persons, their websites and what they did to help you and others increase sales.
By now it's almost lunch but you still have time to write some recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. After this, you post a few comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site for those looking to break into the market.
You check the clock on the wall and it's just after 1:00PM. Time to grab some lunch, head down to the beach, maybe go for a workout, and then spend time with the family in the evening.
Yep, time flies but you don't care because life as an affiliate marketer is great and the best part is you get to do it all over again tomorrow! Before you go, if you would like additional information as well as online opportunities click on my name. That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Is It Possible?
Is It Possible To Integrate Biblical Values Into Your Professional Life?
Yes! Jesus did it. And so can you!
As a young man, Jesus Christ was in the carpentry business. Can you imagine Him delivering an inferior piece of furniture to a customer?
- Or deceiving people through an advertising campaign?
- Or inflating sale prices beyond reasonable profit margins?
- Or failing to give top notch service after the sale?
- Or underpaying the employees in His carpentry shop?
The fact is that Jesus lived a life of total integrity… and He expects the same of us:
"(He) has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet was without sin… " (Hebrews 4:15)
Dr. Laura Nash, suggests five questions we might ask ourselves as we seek to apply Biblical ethics to business:
1. Am I hiding something?
2. Am I hurting anyone?
3. How does it look from the other person's point of view?
4. Have I discussed this face-to-face?
5. What would I tell my child to do?
If we are unable to integrate Biblical values into our business or profession, perhaps we need to reevaluate our vocation or calling.

How to Add New Backlinks to your Website
Many sites are out there that are adding backlinks - high quality
ones at that - day after day. The sites that manage to do this generally
have two key elements in common. They produce quality content, and they
do it consistently. Whatever your site is about, you will need to
master these elements as well. The key is not in getting wrapped up in
the numbers. Instead you should be getting wrapped up in your passion
and producing the type of specialized content that other sites in your
industry are not. There are a few key steps in being able to do this.
They are as follows:
1) Cover what you know, or what you don't mind learning more about.
It's been said that one should always write what they know without exception. But doing this can turn you into a broken record very quickly. Rather than bang the same drum over and over, you should instead cover the things that fascinate or interest you in addition to what you already know a lot about. By cooking these two elements together, you will be able to bring out informed content with a unique voice. And when you can distinguish yourself as unique in a virtual pond of millions and millions of sites, you are well on your way to keeping the audience around for the long haul.
2) Plan, plan, and then plan some more.
If you fly by the seat of your pants on content, then you will probably produce the occasional piece that hits a home run, but the everyday reality is that you will be adrift in that virtual pond, and the audience will have trouble rescuing you. By planning your content ahead of time, you give yourself, or your professional content provider, a roadmap for further success. Success without planning, it has been said, is impossible. While this may not be true in that it discounts the third element that is about to be discussed, it can kill your frequency and knock you off the right track.
3) Get lucky.
Yes, yes, it seems impossible to will luck to work in your favor, but don't be so quick to dismiss it. There is a direct correlation between luck and hard work. Essentially, doing the very best you can for as long as it takes to find an audience will eventually deliver luck when you are ready for it professionally. When you think of luck, not as some cosmic slot machine that disperses large winnings to people, who rarely play the game, but as what it really is: karma's ability to catch up with your continued hard work and diligence, you are well on your way to where you need to be as a business.

Get Rid of Fear
Luke 8:50, "But when Jesus heard it, he answered him saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole."
Jesus told Jairus to "believe only," implying that faith and fear can operate in us at the same time. This is also the reason James tells us not to be double-minded, or to waiver (Jas. 1:5-8). Fear will negate faith. We can have both thoughts of faith and thoughts of unbelief at the same time.
Fear and faith are opposing forces. Fear is actually faith in reverse. Fear is believing something or someone other than God. Therefore, fear makes us subject to Satan and his death just as faith makes us recipients of all that God has to offer. This is the reason Jesus told Jairus, "Fear not." Jairus' fear would have sealed his daughter's death.
Instead of trying to build huge amounts of faith to overcome our fears and unbelief, a simpler method is to remove our fears by cutting off their source. Then, our simple "child-like" faith that remains will do the job. It doesn't take big faith - just pure faith.
Where does fear come from? Second Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind." It doesn't come from God. The way that fear is able to come upon us is that we take our attention off of Jesus and put it on our situation.
Fear or doubt cannot "just overcome" us. We have to let it in. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God's Word. We would not be tempted with fear or doubt if we didn't consider things that Satan uses to minister that fear and doubt.
Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our concern about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus, the Word. That's good. As always, "Enjoy Your Coffee"
