It's vital that you surmount a series of resistance points on
your way to establishing a customer.

The four primary obstacles facing you are: NO TRUST - NO NEED -
NO HELP - and NO HURRY

You'll want to handle each one in a specific order.

Nobody has any idea of who you are in the internet environment.
It can be an uphill battle to motivate potential buyers to do
business with you (a stranger) and risk losing in some regard.

A smooth and rapid technique for establishing trust is for you to
provide something of real value to your website visitor at no
cost to them. Your reader's mind is filled with questions and
unkowns when they first come across your website.

Giving before you try to take (sell) something is a great
resistance-buster. An example of a very valuable free gift you
could offer is to produce a review of a popular and good-selling
internet-based business plan.

A popular product that you would enjoy owning and using yourself
is a great one upon which to base your report. No trust quickly
loses its power when you provide this kind of free information.
You are now ready for obstacle number two which is NO NEED.

The most straight-forward method of dealing with this no-need
obstacle is to choose a product or service that has some great
testimonials.

Once you begin to elaborate on the virtues of your product, your
site visitor starts thinking about the issue of (NO HELP) which
is actually obstacle number three.

At this point, your reader trusts you and is in more of a buying
mode. However, some doubt remains as to whether what you have
will really help them improve their life in some way.

This is the NO HELP obstacle trying hard to maintain its hold on
your reader's mind. You will achieve great strides with this
obstacle when you can point to the words of other people.

Now is the time to let your reader learn about the experience of
others who found out for themselves how well the product worked
for them and how it improved something in their lives.

The ease, wisdom and strength of your becoming an affiliate
marketer begin to present themselves at this time.

When you begin your business as an affiliate, a huge number of
hassles, worries and concerns are taken off your shoulders.
Also, powerful obstacle-busters in the form of testimonials from
happy customers are yours to use.

And a fast start with easier mastery of the hurdles can be yours
when you begin your business as an affiliate for a proven
product. Credibility and simplicity are there for you and many
times you can get a 50% to 75% share of the selling price!

You are now in the position of three hurdles down and one to go.
So you're now faced with obstacle number four, which is
overcoming the natural human tendency to resist buying through
the rationale of NO HURRY!

The best tools I've found to overcome NO HURRY are to instill a
fear of loss that could be suffered if they don't act now.
Develop the idea of limited time availability for your product as
one way to combat this problem.

Even if the product has every appearance of being available for
quite some time, the price could likely escalate. This is
particularly true if you have selected a popular product to
promote as an affiliate.

Two motivators that will work in your favor nearly all the time
when well-used are price climbs and shortage of a popular
product.

Your long-range focus should be one of building a sizeable list
of loyal subscribers that can be a continual source of cash-flow
for you. It's fun and financially rewarding (although
challenging at first) to build an expanding list of responsive
subscribers.

When you do, they will be your asset for years and years. You
will get better and better all the time at overcoming the four
obstacles. As you do, your responsive subscriber list as well as
your business and income will grow.
