Why Opportunities Like Empower Network Are Not A Golden Ticket To Success

By Howe Russell


One of the biggest internet myths surrounding affiliate marketing is that you can make money online without any effort at all. Every opportunity bills itself as the next big thing, with people believing that opportunities like Empower Network are literally going to change their lives for them.

If you have been through this situation before, today you are going to discover why it happens and how to stop it.

There is also a common misconception that every home business opportunity is illegal. While there are certainly bad eggs out there, just as there are in any niche, the majority of reputable online businesses are perfectly safe and legal, with years of experience to back up their claims. However, just because an opportunity is safe it doesn't mean you'll succeed with it. The ability to create an income may be there, but most people can't seem to make it work like others are able to.

The two main reasons people fail online come down to easily avoided mindsets which they have picked up from false marketing.

* When you are your own boss you love what you do. You don't want to do five minutes per day on your business. If you do, then you won't get anywhere with it.

* Ignore those who promise you an easy ride for joining a new online business 'before the masses'. They rely on your inability to say no.

That's right. The 'secret to success', which so many Gurus will try to sell you along the way, is simply learning how to approach your online business with the same mentality you'd put towards an offline business in the real world. That's it, it's very simple and it almost seems like it's just common sense. Yet for some reason, almost everybody who gets involved in an affiliate program makes those mistakes.

These type of false expectations are specific to the internet. If you encounter anybody who is working to build an income via an offline affiliate program like Mary Kay you will notice they don't have the same mindset. They realize that they need to prioritize their business and slowly build it up from the ground.

People often find it very hard to get a common sense answer when looking at an affiliate program because they are being bombarded with hype and marketing talk from existing affiliates looking to sign them up. They'll say whatever they can to get that signup, even if it means grossly exaggerating the truth.

If you are to achieve your goals you need to get serious. Plan your journey to success or you'll never reach your destination.

* What are your short-term goals and aims?

* What is the long-term vision? You must be trying to achieve something. Being clear about it will help you to get there.

* If you aren't prepared to learn how to market and grow your business then you should not be attempting to create one.

* If you don't do something each day to build your business then it won't grow. It isn't going to happen by itself, after all.

The fourth step is the most important of all. Much like life, you will find it impossible to get anywhere if you aren't prepared to work for it. While there are countless Gurus out there who will be prepared to take your cash and sell you impossible dreams, the truth is you won't get anywhere close to realizing them until you begin to work hard for yourself.

The main difference between being able to make money online and failing is the ability to treat your business as a priority in your life. While there are many great companies out there to choose from, you need to make the most of it for yourself. This is why so many affiliates using programs like Empower Network and Global Domains International tend to fail.
