Golden Goose Marketing

Before you buy any kind of affiliate marketing training, there are a number of questions you should ask.  Too often, we let ourselves be swayed by a fancy sales letter or a cool promotional video, but with so much at stake, it’s important to be cool and rational.  Next time you’re thinking about a big training investment, go through these questions first.  You won’t always be able to get precise answers, but the responses you get can also tell you a lot.

• Do you offer a money back guarantee?  What do I have to do to get it?
• What is the average affiliate income of  your students?  What percentage of your students are profitable?  They probably won’t have exact answers, but you will learn a lot by how they respond.
• What is your background?  How long have you been in the industry?
• What does your course teach?  What does it leave out?
• Do students need any tools to follow your strategies?  If so, how much do they cost?

Depending on the nature of the product, you may be able to come up with other questions that are relevant.  The main thing here is to examine each product with an objective eye.  By having a checklist, you encourage yourself to really examine things before jumping in headfirst, full of optimism.  Dare to be a little skeptical.  Questioning someone else’s product or system doesn’t mean that you’re questioning your own ability to succeed.  It’s just good business.
