Learning to be a leader through affiliate marketing

This seems to be a contradiction in terms - surely you need to be a good leader in order to be a successful team leader in an affiliate program ??

Well, not necessarily because quite often being involved in an affiliate marketing program can provide you with the tools and teach you how to become a great leader.

Attributes Of A Good Leader

A good leader invariably has learned the following skill sets:
  • They do not waste their time on skeptics or on people who aren't motivated to work the program.  They learn to identify and concentrate instead on the workers, on the ones who want to succeed and have, or are prepared to develop, the mindset to succeed. 
  • They communicate regularly and constantly with their team despite external influences and are constantly there to provide support and assistance.
  • They continually motivate and teach their team members the core principles of duplication and motivation. This is the way their network grows and strengthens.
  • They learn to communicate with others easily and knowledgeably about the business and to avoid over complicating it. This gives a good impression not only of the business but also of themselves as a leader.  They teach their team this same skill.  If you cannot get your point across clearly and effectively then you are lacking one of the essential qualities of a leader.  Learn to do this.
  • They learn to develop their own skill sets; if they can't do this then they can't hope to be able to help others do it.
  • They are prepared to acknowledge that they don't know it all and have room to grow and improve.  Recognising and admitting this as a leader is a tough call.
All of these are easily able to be learned and developed.  Because successful affiliate marketing is based on successful team work and networking,  it follows that good leadership is a must in the chain of success.  Therefore a good affiliate program will provide the training to enable you to grow and develop as a leader.  It is after all in their best interests as well - good leaders develop good teams and good teams bring in good results ....

Can We Really Trust Network Marketers?

What is it about multi level and network marketing that makes people automatically think 'SCAM'? The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning; to create a product or service to make the world a better place . ~Guy Kawasaki Multi Level Marketing Or Pyramid Scheme If you think multi level marketing and pyramid scheme are one and the same thing, you're not alone.  Unfortunately the terms 'MLM' (multi level marketing and also referred to as network marketing , direct selling, referral marketing etc) and 'down line' conjure up a negative image with many people because they associate them with illegal pyramid schemes and scams.  Nothing could be further from the truth and if you know what to look for you can easily tell which is which.   A Pyramid Scheme requires you to pay a fee to 'start earning'.  Unfortunately though that is about all a PS consists of - the ' income' is solely derived from those 'join up fees ...

Things you should know about Network Marketing ....

Network marketing has its origins in plain old 'word of mouth' recommendation and to this day this is STILL the number one method of endorsement for products and services.  If you want to find out how good, bad or indifferent something is the first thing you do is find someone you know who has used or bought it and you ask them for their opinion. Network marketing simply uses this 'personal recommendation / word of mouth' networking to promote particular goods and services.  In return, those who promote and recommend are rewarded for their services by receiving a share of the proceeds of sales that result from their PR efforts.  This share is part of normally what would otherwise have been spent on advertising. Of course, if this concept is going to work to its fullest potential it does require that those who recommend and promote the products should actually have first hand experience of them.  Otherwise it just becomes yet another 'hard sell' which doesn...
