What Type Of Internet Marketing Affiliate Are You?

The lure of being a network marketing affiliate is increased by the fact that there are super-affiliates, who are making money online so quickly, you would have thought they had won the State lotto or they are into drug smuggling. In some instances, you are talking about one million dollars in a week.

There are many publications about how to make money online. Newbies are spending up big in the hope of being able to cash in on this easy money. Then they find themselves wondering what to do with all this knowledge they have in their heads. It is as if they are suffering from paralysis of analysis.

Once I was doing some Citibank training and what struck me was there were basically two types of people in the group of forty people all sitting down listening to the lectures. One group of people seemed so intent on wanting to know the ins and outs of every little piece of information that was uttered by the trainer. The other group seemed more intent on just having fun and enjoying plenty of frivolity.

What really intrigued me when it came to group discussions was the really serious studious types had their heads over the manuals, and were like squirrels chattering away, debating every little pro and con there might be. In particular, this group of people seemed to be like an Internet forum where all the know-alls are to be found. They had all the answers and knew all the reasons why the trainer might be incorrect, and even made major issues about how the manual was written and numerous other matters.

The other group of people were kind of lost as to what they were really supposed to be learning. You see this was the development of a sales force, and all they wanted to do was get through the two weeks of classroom work and start making money.

Just as you could have predicted, the know-alls, the ones with all the questions and queries and doubts were the ones who bombed out and the ones who didn't seem to know half as much, and probably sounded like certain Presidents, basically just got around to getting the job done.

This is the biggest problem that I have seen for newbies when it comes to making money online as an Internet marketer. These newbies want to know how to make money online, so they read and gather information, but they never really apply the information, so that it becomes experiential knowledge. There is a difference between claiming to have knowledge of something and actually being able to demonstrate know-how.

Successful Internet marketers know that the only reason they are able to make money online is because they have been truly entrepreneurial and taken minor risks alone the way to find out what works, and what doesn't work. This is the only way a newbie to Internet marketing is going to truly learn. Merely reading about something and not actually trying to put the information into practice is not going to work.

Know-how is real knowledge. Being a spectator and being able to talk about what might have been, could be, or should be, and then hesitating about losing a little money here and there, just demonstrates what little understanding a person has about making money online. If you pay thousands to do a course at University, and spend hours of your time doing it for nothing, how much would you expect to pay to be able to learn how to make money online, and possibly, in the millions.

Anyhow, the problem for most is not knowing where to go, where you can actually get the tools with which to start applying the trade of Internet marketing. But there are some surprisingly unbelievable cheap hands-on courses available where you get all the tools needed to be a successful apprentice affiliate Internet marketer, if you know where to look and know who to ask.

I will break the ice and ask: What type of Internet marketer are you?
