Fail, Fail, Fail

Part of life is failing and I probably am an expert at it.

One of the main reasons why I am successful today is because I have failed enough times to know what to NOT do.

So often people start trying to make money online in a few weeks and tell me how they are frustrated because they can’t get anything to work.

Failing since 2004

Let me put things into perspective for you. I have been working at making an income online since 2004. It wasn’t until 2007 that I earned enough to make it full time. It wasn’t until 2008 that I made enough for me to feel comfortable. It’s now half way through 2009, 5 years later.

During the 5 years, I tried everything I could possibly try.

Edison failed over 1000 times before he created the lightbulb. Those failures are what defined his success.

You will never fail if…

You will never fail if… you never try. The bigger the risks you take, the bigger the success you’re going to have. Plain and simple.

I know of numerous people who want to be full time internet marketers but don’t want to risk PPC Money, advertising money, etc. Essentially they want no risk, and 100% reward. The times this happens are very few and far between.

Minimize Risk

There are a ton of ways to minimize risk in this game especially. When I was first starting affiliate marketing, I had very little reliable sources, which is one of the main reasons why I created this blog.

Now there are a TON of great resources out which I recommend to everyone who asks me. The hilarious part is that many people still do not take my advice because the resources usually cost something. Again, it’s better that way because if you’re not willing to risk $40 bucks a month for a training program, then you’re not going to be willing to risk $1000 on PPC.

Resources to help Minimize Risk

If you’re looking to start in affiliate marketing, the best place you can go to in my honest opinion, is PPC Coach. You can read my full review of PPC Coach.

Another great place is Affiliate Summit. Networking in person with people is a great way to learn new tricks, tips and overall gain a ton of valuable information.

So there you have it. Now go fail!
