Joining too few affiliate programs is a problem for 3 major reasons:
1. The bottom line is that you absolutely, positively MUST start earning multiple streams of income. One income stream, even 2 is not enough in today's world. If you are only relying on your job as your main source of income right now, you're a sitting duck for a financial disaster. If you lose your job or your health, God forbid, you could be in big trouble financially. Most people are just one paycheck away from bankruptcy.
Affiliate marketing is the same way. If you're relying on just one or two affiliate programs to pull in the bulk of your income, you're extremely vulnerable. Even if you've built up a big residual income in a program, if it goes out of business so do you.
2. Joining only one or two affiliate program does not give you enough experience to compare strengths and weaknesses of different programs. It leaves you being unaware of different possibilities and that's very dangerous to your fiscal health.
3. There's a saying that "If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." If you only have one or two different products or programs to promote, that's not enough to solve the many different problems people will be coming to you for. You need to have a variety of tools in your affiliate toolbox so you can pull out the right one at the right time for the right person. If you don't, you will be leaving money on the table. It's that simple.
Why is too many affiliate programs a problem?
Joining too many affiliate programs is a problem for 2 MAJOR reasons:
1. You will get way too distracted. Focus has great power and if you have too many things to think about at one time, you'll get confused. When you're confused, you don't take action. When you don't action, you don't make money.
2. People won't take you seriously. If you're promoting everything and anything, people will sense your lack of sincerity and have no desire to do business with you. One of the big secrets to affiliate marketing success is promoting things you have some experience with and believe in.
But there a magic "sweet spot" somewhere in the middle of having enough products and programs to promote that keep you diversified and capable of solving multiple problems for people.
For example, if you get 100 people to visit your website and only have one product you're promoting and your website successfully converts 1 out of 100 visitors to a sale, then you've made 1 sale. But if you have a couple more products on your site that are related but different, you may find that you get 3-5 people out of 100 who buy from you because they find other things that solve their problems. So just having a few different options for people can multiply your income 300% or more without any additional effort.
In my experience, 5-6 different affiliate programs in a niche is the generally the best starting point. This gives you enough experience with different programs to compare their strengths and weaknesses. It gives you enough diversity so you can offer your prospects the right solution at the right time. And it broadens your own affiliate portfolio enough so that you can survive a disaster just in case one of the affiliate programs you are promoting falls on hard times.
No matter what niche market you are in, I encourage you to you diversify your affiliate portfolio and get at least 5-6 high quality, top paying affiliate programs to promote in order to ensure your short-term and long-term success.
Are you struggling with trying to figure out how to play well?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by so much to practice, so little time?
Are you looking for a way to know what to practice so that you will improve quickly?
An adult student named Liz told me that she finds that she can't decide what to practice because there are too many choices.
Sue often complains that although she's learned many songs, she can no longer play them.
She's frustrated because she loves practicing her new pieces every day, and wishes she could pick up something from the past and just play it.
Has this happened to you?
It's Not Rocket Science
When the young man asks, ?How do I get to Carnegie Hall??
the elderly New Yorker responds, ?Practice, practice, practice.?
Notice that the word practice is stated three times.
It takes 3 weeks to establish a good habit, but only 3 days to lose it.
Every time you focus on one specific musical goal for 21 straight days, you will establish a new keyboard success habit.
Establishing Your Keyboard Success Habit
Here are the three things you need to do to establish your keyboard success habit.
1.Make a choice
Success does not come from practicing all of your songs, exercises and/or classical pieces all the time. There simply aren't enough hours in the day for this.
In order to get great results, you need to pick one piece that you really like and want to learn to play well. You will still practice your other music, but now you have selected one special piece that you want to master, memorize or both.
2.Focus on your number one priority
You need to practice your selected special piece every single day. Sometimes this will be the only thing you practice. Other days, when more time is available, you can give attention to your other musical material. The most important thing is that you concentrate single-mindedly on your number one priority: to practice your special piece daily.
3.Make a commitment and stick to it
Promise yourself that you will keep your commitment to practicing this one special piece for 21 consecutive days, just three weeks. You will amaze yourself when you hear how much better you sound. Your confidence will improve too!
Action Exercises
Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.
First, select one special piece, practice it every single day for three weeks. All of your other music can receive your attention after you focus on your number one priority.
Second, remember that once you see the great results of your efforts, you'll be so excited that you'll repeat this process with another one of your favorite pieces.
Third, take this method up one more notch by practicing your special selected piece every day for three months. Your musical success is guaranteed!
