Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

1.They don't have the right coach or mentor. -Got to learn from those that do what they preach and have results.

2.They don't have the right offer.- Most affiliate products are sold for under $250 and to make a good income you need to sell a lot of them.(hint- you need high ticket offers)

3.They don't join the right community.- Getting support and help is essential. The better the help the faster success will come.(do you think WA is the right community? I have my doubts)

4.They think they need to have Techie-Experience for website design or other technical skills.- Todays applications and tools are easy to use, and take little time to get to know. So the tech excuse is lame....

5.They don't create a high converting sales funnel.- Without a sales funnel, there are hardly any sales. Its like shooting with your eyes closed.

And an extra mistake.

6. They don't take their business serious enough. Treat it like a hobby.......
