All About PayPal… It’s About Time!

You know, when I used to monitor customer support at Affiliate Funnel, I was shocked at how many customers did not know how to manage their PayPal account.  Yeah, real people doing business online with absolutely no idea how to keep track of their money.  Kind of like opening a convienience store with no clue how to work the register.  NOT a good idea.

In my opinion, the #1 reason people think affiliate programs are “scams” is the fact that so many go broke when they lose track of all their monthly subscriptions, and when the monthly re-billing goes through, they find themselves slapped with over draft fees, and in some cases, end up losing their bank accounts.  Truly a sad state of affairs, but as of today, help is on the way.

Sunny Suggs, Author of No More No-Script and a plethora of other newbie friendly guides, has just put together the definitive PayPal guide for online business owners.  In true Sunny Suggs fashion, she’s included a ton of Screenshots, complete with arrows pointing to crucial buttons, and clear and simple instructions that ensure it’s easy as can be to take control of your outgoing AND incoming funds.

This one is quickly going on my “must have” list and I’m sure you can see why.  Is there anything more important to your business than knowing how to keep track of your money?  Personally, I like getting paid.  I like being able to cancel a subscription that I don’t need with a couple of mouse clicks too.  Even better, I like being able to recommend free info to my newbie friends, and this one meets my 3 top criteria.  Useful info, Easy to follow, and 100% free to download.

This program doesn’t work!

  In my e-mail series, I stress the fact that in order to succeed, you must do what failures refuse to do.  If there’s one phrase I hear failed marketers say more often than any other it’s usually something like that headline.  “This program doesn’t work”, “That site is a scam” and the list goes on.  Just this morning I heard a gentleman comment, “I’m not sure if I want to invest in that when I don’t even know if it will work.”

Here’s the bottom line.  No program,  no “proven marketing system”, is going to work until YOU do.  Until you make a conscious decision to apply the necessary techniques,  nothing is going to “work” for you.  You may have to ask a lot of questions, but you better believe anyone who is successful online had their share of questions in the beginning.

If you aren’t making any money online yet, why not give this a try. Send an e-mail to the support team or owner of your primary affiliate program and ask them how you might improve your results.  Assuming you’ve already read and implemented any techniques recommended on their site,  If they aren’t willing to help, it’s a good sign you may need to look for another program.

I’m confident that anyone with a strong desire for success can achieve it, but you must adopt a “refuse to fail” mentality.  You see, you only become a failure when you make a decision to quit trying.  When you quit trying, you’ve essentially chosen to fail, and at that point there’s only one person to blame.

In short…  seek the knowledge, apply the knowledge, and persevere.
