A Typical Day in the Life of an Affiliate Marketing Associate

A lot of people talk about how much they hate getting up in the morning and rushing off to their job.  They may spend an hour on the freeway, only to find themselves stuck in traffic.  By the time they get to their job, their boss is yelling and they’ve missed an important appointment.  Sounds frustrating, huh?  If you want to make a change in your life, you may want to take a look at a typical day in the life of an affiliate marketing associate.

 

First of all, it’s eight o’clock in the morning and where is the affiliate marketing associate?  Just rolling over, deciding that it might be time to get up.  After strolling over to the coffee pot, they pour their first cup of the day and go out on the deck to enjoy the scenery, while they wake up.  By nine o’clock, they’ve jumped in the shower and are now awake enough to see to their work.

 

Looking at their calendar, the associate realizes there is nothing pressing on the schedule for the day and turns on their computer.  He or she then sits down to check and respond to any emails that have come in.  They log in to the first affiliate program to see if there are any changes or any new product updates.  Once done, they move on the next, until they are done with the programs.  By this time, it’s time for more coffee and a break.

 

After coming back to work, they spend the rest of their day marketing the products they have chosen to sell.   They visit a lot of social networking sites, forums, and discussion groups, as well as classified ad sites.  Of course, they also get into a few conversations in these sites and can’t help but smile.  After all, they may be working, but they are having fun.  Six hours later, after a quick review of their financial documents, the affiliate decides they are done for the day and they shuts down his or her computer.

 

Which scenario sounds the best to you?  If you are one of the people that has spent years working for someone else who may not appreciate all your efforts, you may want to consider becoming an affiliate marketing associate.  Not only will you find it financially rewarding, you might just find yourself having some fun and enjoying your work. 

A Basic Explanation of a Network Marketing System

If you’ve been surfing the web for a way to make money, you’ve definitely found them in networking marketing.  If you wonder why you see so many opportunities in this business, it is because they work.  Millions of people work in this business and have made a successful career for themselves.  Others only do it part-time, but find it allows them to provide their families with things they could not otherwise afford.  So, what exactly is a network marketing system?

 

First of all a network marketing system offers you two ways to make money: commissions from the sale of company products and commissions earned from the sales of your recruits.  In other words, you are doing two major tasks in this business.  You are selling the products and you are selling the company.  

 

When you join a network marketing system, you should spend as much time learning about this particular company that you can.  The company you join should have a training program that will assist you in not only learning the different aspects of the business, but also help you to organize yourself so that you can be more efficient with your marketing.   If the company does not have advanced training, you will find there are a lot of great training programs available online with experienced network marketers.

 

Your main strategy should be to create a website where you can direct traffic to order your products.  To acquire leads, set your website up with a lead generation system.  This way, you’ll always have fresh leads to follow up on and convert them to sales. 

 

The majority of your day will be spent marketing both your products and your business opportunity.  You should learn a variety of techniques that you can utilize in your business and develop a method of tracking what techniques are bringing the most traffic to your website.

 

While you may not get rich with network marketing, you can be sure that if put every effort into making your new business successful, you can earn a healthy living and provide a good life for your family.
