If you want to learn to do anything well, from driving a car to playing tennis, you will learn faster and better if you get proper instructions. This same concept applies to skydiving as well, and probably even more so.
Great skydiving instruction will make the sport much safer and more enjoyable and will probably make you want to continue in the sport.
If you think that skydiving is as simple as just diving out of a plane with a parachute once it has risen to a certain height, you are sorely mistaken. That may certainly be the basics of skydiving, but you have to take instructions to really get the fullest benefit and to make sure you remain safe in the air and make a safe landing when you hit the ground.
A good skydiving instructor will explain to you what the effects of free falling at various speeds are and what are the best positions to take while free falling.
You can either have a personal instructor, or you can learn as part of a group that is at the same stage of lesson as you are.
As with anything you want to learn, ask questions to make sure you get all of the information you need. A good instructor will be happy to answer any and all questions and make sure you understand exactly what is going to happen during the dive. Listen to the questions of the other students as well; they might bring up something you didn't think about.
Once you are up in the air is NOT the time to start thinking about the questions you should have asked-there will not be enough time. The ground instructor will take as much time as is necessary to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable about exactly what they need to do once they are up in the plane. If the ground crew or instructors seem to be rushing to get as many classes in as possible, think about going to another school.
In order to decide which you should attend, you should ask around among friends to find out who has done it and who they recommend. If none of your acquaintances have ever tried the sport, consider getting in touch with a skydiving club who can give you a list of instructors they consider reliable and reputable.
If you follow this information about skydiving instruction, you will assure that you will have a great time learning the sport and getting into your first skydive jumps.
You've selected a product or service to promote. You've been promoting it for a month and still haven't made a sale. You start second guessing your product/service. Is it a scam or an opportunity? Before you can answer that question you have to ask yourself: Have I explicitly done everything the company has told me to do as an affiliate?
If you are making a gourmet stew developed by a famous chef, he will give you a specific recipe to follow. Unless you follow his instructions precisely, you will not know if you like his stew or not. If you follow his recipe precisely but you add paprika instead of garlic (because you don't like garlic), you will not have prepared his world-famous stew. If your stew turns out bad, you can't blame the famous chef because you didn't do what he told you to do.
In the same manner, firms that use affiliates have often taken extreme effort to develop a process (or recipe) they want their affiliates to follow. These firms have a lot more at stake in terms of investment and job security than the affiliates do. The firms believe they have a successful formula and risk their money and careers on it. The firm's success depends on how well the affiliates follow their instructions. The three major causes of failed affiliates are: (1) not following instructions explicitly; (2) not performing all of the required instructions; (3) not giving the process enough time to produce results (impatience).
If you have not followed instructions explicitly or completely nor given the process enough time to produce results, you can not properly evaluate the product or service you are promoting. The two major symptoms of being a failed affiliate in the making are: (1) not making sales; (2) looking for the ?silver bullet? by continually changing products. If you have these symptoms, my recommendation is to select a firm that you strongly believe in and follow their instructions explicitly and with blind faith.
If after following all the instructions precisely and completely (as well as giving the process ample time to produce results) the process doesn't produce the results the firm says it would, you can confidently say you made the wrong decision in promoting that firm. Ironically, the chances of this happening are slim. Successful and reputable companies have a proven formula. Successful affiliates follow the formula. The two keys to success are: (1) select a successful and reputable company to promote; (2) follow all their instructions precisely and completely.
