1.
Lack of a plan The internet changes, almost on daily basis and so it is necessary that you should work out a plan that will prepare you for all the exigencies and dynamics that go along with the internet.
2.
Not believing in the product In order to achieve success as an affiliate marketer, you should develop passion and at the same time believing in the product or service that you are selling.
It does not really mean that all people who visit your website must purchase something, but try to sound convincing to show that you at least believe in the product you are selling.
3.
Not Standing Out There are countless affiliate program websites which look very identical and mix things up, thereby subsuming and preventing them from standing out.
Naturally, you are bound to make mistakes as an affiliate marketer, but try to move with confidence.
As much as you are focused and committed, the sky will be your limit.
4.
Giving up too early Many affiliates have the notion that they are going to be making money very quickly and once the time frame they set for themselves elapses and they are not seeing results, they just give up without realizing that they are already on their way to success and they need is just a little more push and patience.
Do not give too early and at the wrong time.
5.
Joining too many affiliate programs The most common mistake of affiliates is the temptation of thinking that the more programs they join, the bigger their profits.
Do not join or promote every available niche.
Though it is desirable to have multiple streams of income from various niches and programs, focus on one affiliate or a couple of few programs or niche which can generate you a minimum of 50% and progress from here.
In all, devote ample time and learn the intricacies of affiliate marketing and pin point all reasons that could cause your success or failure.
There is just a thin line between success and failure.
