I can remember it all too clearly..
Back in 1999, when I began my
journey online there were only 5-10
'experts' in Internet Marketing.
It was a wonderful place to live
in, a safe environment where you
could work and breathe without
being poisoned with some hyped
up product.
Fast forward and the industry,
started to change. The 'sharks'
smelt blood and entered our
market place and started
destroying the industry..
What happened?
Simple really...
Greed. Products upon products
started to filter into the market
place like a tidal wave - relentless
and not caring about the damage
it left in it's wake...
People running up HUGE debts
on credit cards, in some cases
taking equity out of their homes
just to become another victim of
a vicious scam.
I monitored everything, my blood
boiling every second of the day
until it was too much.
That was when the 'Guru Slayer'
was born - a guide created for
an ordinary person to follow a
step by step plan online.
Not hype, not fluff or any BS. Short,
sharp, crisp and to the point.
No high price tag, no hard
selling...
I only hope it will help the market
place return to the state we
once had it in...
Warm Regards,
Andrew Fox

5 Personality Traits of a Super Affiliate
An overwhelming number of people are flocking to the internet to get their share of the online riches. One of the most popular business ventures for work at home beginners is affiliate marketing. With no boss, no deadlines and no stock to deal with, the popularity of affiliate marketing continues to grow. With so much attractive appeal one would think that just about everyone can succeed at affiliate marketing. However, only 20 percent of people doing affiliate marketing are successful and all of them have these five qualities.
1. Investing themselves With any task you must invest the time and effort that is needed to make it work. If you are not invested in your business, dont expect it to grow. Floods of money will not be pouring into your account in the beginning of your affiliate marketing journey. And like every journey its the little day to day steps that truly make the difference.
2. Willing to learn Affiliate marketing is applied knowledge. In order to apply the steps used by the masters, you must first be willing to learn the steps. While many people do invest time and effort in building their business very few take time to learn how to build a successful business from scratch. There are several ways an affiliate can get lost in the industry and fail but there are also many ways for an affiliate to succeed. This is done by keeping an open mind and welcoming ideas and suggestions given to you by those who have a firm understanding of the business.
3. Determination As an affiliate marketer you must possess the ability to push yourself. 80 percent of people fail because the lack the determination to reach further, climb higher and go farther. This perhaps stems from a lack of self discipline, which brings me to quality four.
4. Discipline All successful affiliate marketers have a strong sense of self-discipline. They are able to get themselves to take action regardless of their emotional state. Thus they are able to accomplish more in a faster period of time. Their marketing goals are not just set for the sake of having a goal, they are done deals. It is virtually guaranteed that they will follow through with every goal they set because they have made the conscious decision to do so.
5. Optimism A positive attitude is the key to succeeding at virtually everything, including affiliate marketing. Why be optimistic? Optimism means explaining setbacks to yourself in ways that gives you resilience, strength and determination. Optimism improves yo�r ability to succeed. Your attitude towards your business should always be good even if things are not going the way you planned.
You can be among the 20 percent of affiliate marketers who are living the net marketing dream. It starts with building theses qualities within you. They are essential to your success as an affiliate marketer.
