Build and Brand
Internet Marketing is not difficult when you apply some basic principles, regardless of what method of traffic delivery you use and what products you choose to promote.
However, most people fail in online marketing be it network marketing or affiliate marketing because they constantly put the marketing cart before the horse.
People are constantly encouraged to directly promote either affiliate or mlm programs directly, thereby building the program's profile and not their own.
Successful Internet Marketers do not promote affiliate programs or mlm programs directly.
They promote themselves.
They build their following - through mail lists and blog subscribers and then they make considered recommendations of quality products and services.
Its called branding and building.
A simple concept that requires some time and effort but - its time and effort well spent.

Nothing happens overnight - its all about staying power and sticking to your guns. There are lots of fly by nighters who come out with all guns blazing and disappear in three weeks. people are naturally skeptical and if they aren't they should be. But if you keep plugging away you gradually build a following of people who trust you - that's when you have a business

Very true as I know now. I am on the right track. I started working on a global level july this year on faceplate and apsense. I was a nowbody when i started because before i was only active in Holland. Look what happened. Yesteday i was chosen business expert of the week on Apsense (although there are many here that have way more expertise than I have) but is is a good motivation to carry ons as I did til now.

I agree, I think... It takes time and effort...and patience, I guess. I started end June on USA sites and I have done nothing than branding in various ways. I am now at the point that people start to know me. I did not get much sign ups for anything yet; I guess that is where the patience comes in.
