What Does Vegetables Have To Do With Affiliate Marketing?

I hated Vegetables, but what does it have to do with Affiliate Marketing?

When I was a young man of 10 years old, I was a rather playful boy, and without mention, I prefer toys or doodling over chores anytime, back then.

However, as talented as I was, my doodles were never really appreciated much by my late mum, partly because I chose the living room sofa as my canvas and in the end the only reward I’d receive were nagging words of lesson from Mummy, as I’d affectionately call her.

I remember how I used to tag along whenever she goes to the market and I especially look forward to when it’s time to buy the vegetables.

I have a confession to make — that I do not like greenies or vegetables, but I would always pull Mummy over to this particular stall, which was seen over by a middle aged lady, or whom I call Vegetable Lady, and buy our vegetables from her.

I would give all sorts of reasons like ‘this vegetable is so green and fresh’ or ‘let’s try this weird looking green stuffs, I think I’m going to love it’, and not give up until Mummy buys some.

Of course I end up not eating most of the vegetables, and knowing that I didn’t enjoy vegetables then why did I get Mummy to buy them?

I was rewarded by Vegetable Lady.

You see, back then, whenever Mummy bought vegetables, I would be given a sweet from the Vegetable Lady.

When you’re 10 years old, a sweet is a big reward!

I was being rewarded simply for getting Mummy to buy vegetables, and if you look closely within this story, this is Affiliate Marketing in its simplest form.

I was an affiliate marketer without even realising.

Here’s how an affiliate marketing equation would look like:

Customers buy Products that are promoted by Marketers, that are sold by Vendors. Vendors then give Marketers Commissions for helping them clinch the sale.

If we inserted my story into the equation:

Mummy buys Vegetables, that are promoted by Me, that are sold by Vegetable Lady. Vegetable Lady then gives Me Sweets for helping her clinch the sale.

Easy eh?

If you can relate to this story then I’m sure that the equation can relate to you at some point in your life as well.

You would also fully understand that to succeed as an affiliate marketer, you need to answer these questions before you can tackle the business head on successfully.

1. Do you have a trusted Vendor to partner with?

2. Do you have a workable Product to promote?

3. Do you have an attaractive marketing pages for Customers to view the products?

4. Can you convince the website viewers into clinching a sale and earning your Commisions?

5. And are You ready to commit time and dedicate energy into this newly found business?

Wow, big questions indeed.

These are the questions an Internet Marketer indulging in Affiliate Marketing needs to ask and convincingly have the answers to before venturing out into this work from home business model.

This is indeed an easy way for anyone to start earning money online.

No doubt Affiliate Marketing can be explained much more than within these pages, but hopefully my story is adequate enough an introduction as to what Affiliate Marketing is all about.

With plenty of dedication, hard work and smart marketing plans, your success is never too far behind.

Anyway, I suppose vegetables aren’t so bad after all.
