Why Motivation Is A Key Ingredient To Success With An Affiliate Program

By Howe Russell


Motivation can be a key factor when trying to make money online, with affiliate programs like Empower Network even basing their business model upon it. So today we ask and answer the all important question. How important is motivation when you're trying to work from home?

You can usually tell a lot about a person based off their reaction the first time they have the idea of using the internet to create an income from home. If they see it as an instant, overnight answer to all of their problems they tend to fail. If they start looking at it as a real business opportunity they tend to experience some success.

Believe it or not, very few of the 100,000 daily searches for ways to work from home are genuine. Most of them are carried out by people looking to stumble onto a golden opportunity. A person in that mindset has no intention or desire to start their own business or build something from the ground floor.

The MLM scene is notorious for it's false marketing and promises of an easy income via minimal effort. While some companies try to train affiliates in the reality of home business, most folks simply don't want to learn because they were only attracted thanks to the false marketing in the first place. As a result, you have someone in a catch 22 situation jumping from business-to-business in the false hope of striking it lucky one day.

One of the reasons so many people quit in the home business world is the fact that they were never truly in it for the right reasons. They wanted to make a quick buck and got out when they realized it didn't work that way.

If you truly wish to become your own boss, you'd be doing yourself a massive favor to study the behavior of somebody who has started their own company in your local area. Look at how they handle their business and watch how they deal with things when they aren't going so well, too. Many people in affiliate programs cannot handle the pressure, despite the fact that they are 'their own boss'... []

Like a lot of other things in life, motivation is a useless attribute if no further action is taken. While countless internet marketers spend all day posting inspirational quotes to their social network followers, very few of them live their lives by the motivational words they're preaching to others. Once the going gets tough, all that motivational talk goes out of the window and they fall flat.

While it's easy to get lost in the hype of the motivational stories which surround online businesses like Empower Network you must remember that most affiliates fail. Many people confuse motivation with excitement. Excitement wears off, whereas motivation is the thing which is going to get you out of bed at 5 in the morning because you want to get something done before you have to go to work. If you want to make money online you should stop now and ask yourself which one sounds more like you.
