Many people
are drawn to affiliate marketing through a desire to work from home and be
their own boss. A recent study by Indiana University found evidence to support
the fact that online learning is actually superior to classroom-based training,
primarily because special efforts are made by tutors to engage students. This
is good news for the increasing number of people considering affiliate
marketing as an answer to issues such as childcare responsibilities and long
commutes. Working from home is also believed to reduce stress levels associated
with juggling work and private life commitments, and lead to job enrichment
through the freedoms gained by being one's own boss. However, new entrepreneurs
often forget to take into consideration a significant drawback of working from
home: The deep sense of isolation you can feel when you are struggling alone to
master a new business and the accompanying challenges.
Fortunately,
this problem is now beginning to be recognized by some online business training
companies, such as the affiliate marketing portal, Affilorama.com. Affilorama
provides step-by-step training, information and resources for people wishing to
make money with affiliate marketing, and they believe they are also well on the
way to overcoming the isolation of working from home. From the outset,
Affilorama has recognized that its members - who are based in more than 20
different countries - could easily feel isolated in their efforts to establish
an affiliate marketing business, and that some would be more likely to give up
as a result. So when Affilorama was launched in 2006, Affilorma's founder Mark
Ling made sure that a members' forum was part of the training package. This
means members can login and chat to other Affilorama users at any time of day
or night about their progress, or just pass the time of day. The forum has been
enthusiastically embraced by Affilorama members, including New Zealand member Billy
Lockwood, who says "Affilorama provides a great place to meet people who are in
the same boat as me. These connections are really useful for bouncing ideas off
one another and keeping us motivated through the tough times, and the staff are
always there too with the answers I need".
Although
Affilorama isn't the first online training portal to offer a forum, few other
sites can compare with the sheer amount of support Affilorama members receive.
The company's staff are on the forum daily and reach members through various
routes including email, live webinars and social media outlets.
Now
Affilorama has gone even further in its efforts to encourage community spirit
by making forum member profiles public by default. This means members will more
readily be able to view information about other members, including their name,
location, photo, previous forum posts and their websites. Those who want to
take sharing a step further can even write a blurb about themselves to add to
their profile. Ling says: "Our move to encourage public member
identities will accentuate our friendly, welcome environment so members can
develop kinships with ease and feel less alone embarking on their common
ventures".
Being able to view other members' profiles has a
number of advantages for Affilorama members, including the ability to learn
more about the people they chat to, or whose advice they are reading,
potentially contact other people living in their area and even band together
for joint venture partnerships. In turn, home-based affiliate marketers have an
easy avenue to receive support and understanding from like-minded people when
they are facing challenges or achieving success.
