Many home based business entrepreneurs feel that their hands are tied when it comes to Internet marketing because they are daunted by the prospect of trying to learn HTML.
They feel that the only option that is open to them when running a home based business is to use web sites supplied by affiliate marketing programs, they mistakenly think that designing, building and editing web sites is beyond their ability because they cannot learn even basic HTML skills.
Let's face it, as an affiliate marketer promoting somebody Else's web site you are probably one of dozens, maybe even hundreds or thousands of struggling marketers all promoting the same web site, enabling that sites owner to get incredible free advertising and branding all at your expense, whether it's expense in terms of time or in terms of money you, the affiliate are working hard to benefit somebody else. Not only that but the more successful you make the owner of the site you are promoting the harder and less successfully you will work because that same site is being posted and promoted by more and more affiliates. Amazingly the more successful you are the less successful you will become.
To design and develop your own product and leave affiliate marketing completely alone is almost impossible for the average Joe looking to try and generate a little extra income so affiliate marketing is the only option.
To try and alleviate this problem many home based business entrepreneurs have taken to 'affiliate jumping'. Of course the guys at the top will (correctly) advocate persistence and not jumping around from product to product, after all no businessman would want to lose his(or her) unpaid sales force that would mean they would have to constantly increase their own recruiting efforts just to keep pace with the attrition.
Affiliate jumping, the practice of always jumping onto every new affiliate membership that comes out is clearly not the answer, it prevents the home based business entrepreneur from building their own identity and makes building credibility extremely difficult.
It may surprise many frustrated and struggling affiliate marketers that it is now possible, even easy, to design, build and edit their own website without any HTML skills at all. Of course a product still needs to be offered but the affiliate marketer can now build or at least personalise a web site to make their offer unique and personal.
Designing and building a website is extremely simple by utilising one of the many free web builder sites available such as Yola, Wix, Squidoo etc.
Personalising and editing websites is equally simple by using one of the free 'What you see is what you get' web building and editing programs such as Kompozer.
Even simpler for editing, is using something like 'Blogger' to design what you need then simply click the HTML button and there is the code which can then be copied and pasted wherever it is needed.
