Promoting “Making Money Online” Niche Before Making Actual Money is…

Just wrong. It just doesn’t make sense. This normally goes for newcomers. I know I’m drilling into a delicate topic here but I’m sure a lot of you have asked yourselves this question. Why would one promote “making money online” niche when you can’t back it up with experience? It’s like promoting a car that you have never owned before and have never tried out. How honest and sincere would you truly be (and successful for that matter)?

I’m a strong believer in that that you should promote products and services online in the same way as you would offline! You are there to serve your customers, to help them and potentially satisfy their needs and you wouldn’t do that if you had no idea what it is that you’re actually promoting, would you? Put yourself into customer’s shoes.

Being an owner of a website should ultimately be the same as owning a regular brick and mortar store. If people can’t literally see you it doesn’t mean you should invent fictional stories to lure them into buying. They will eventually find out anyway and your success will be shortlived. Think hard before venturing into something like that, it is your reputation on the line.

I’m Not Saying That...

You should abandon promoting WA or any other affiliate school. I’m only saying that if you’re new at this, try learning the ins and outs of affiliate marketing in general first. Promote other niches. Ask yourself what is it that interests you and try promoting that very thing. After you make your first sale, then will you be genuinely eligible to approach the “make money online” niche, because you have in fact “walked the walk”.

For all newcomers, I would suggest that you first take a look at the Online Entrepreneur Certification program and after you soaked all the information, try promoting a niche that is not “Making Money Online”. As soon as you succeed (and I’m positive you will!), if you so desire, go along promoting this niche.

What are your thoughts on this matter (especially experienced members)?
