Since I have been learning to make money online with Affiliate Marketing I have learned there are three factors that come into play that answer the question of why you are not making money online.

Why your not making money online is because you have not given your work time to be seen, you don't have enough valuable content out in the online marketplace and you don't have the expertise.

I'm going to examine these three factors here and how you can use this knowledge to give you a fair chance at making money online if your struggling.  These three factors could be the difference for you and your online business:

Time

If you watch any affiliate marketing "Guru" every one of them who is worth anything tells us making money online does not happen over night.

Odi of "Odi Productions" in a recent YouTube video said he didn't make his first sale for a year.  Joshua Elder; same thing, and Nathan Lucas of "Freedom Influencer" struggled for years before he became successful.

This is a huge insight to affiliate marketing and how to make money online.  It is important to understand time and affiliate marketing.  If you think about one year for example.  If it took you one year of doing consistent marketing online to replace your current job would it be worth it?  

And I'm not talking about putting in 8 hours a day 40 hours a week.  I'm talking an hour or two a day!  Would that be worth it to create a passive income that would allow you to stop working for someone else.  I do.  When making money online put time into perspective.  Remember to do something every day that sticks and as time moves forward you WILL see results.

Valuable content

Affiliate marketing is about solving someones problems.  When they seek you out on the Internet its because they have a need to be filled.  Whether its how to make money online, or how to replace the brakes on a 1999 Lexus.  

Your first job as Affiliate Marketers is to solve a problem or a need.  You solve peoples problems by putting valuable content out in the marketplace.  You put enough valuable content in the marketplace and more people looking to fill that specific need will find you.  

Affiliate marketing is not about making money.  It's about helping people.  It's about solving someones problem.  If you can solve someones problems or fill a need, you will make money.  Whether that need is to learn how to make money online, or something entirely difference.

Expertise

To provide valuable content and in order to get people to buy from you and not someone else you need to be an expert in solving that specific problem or need.  If you can solve it people will be more than happy to pay you for your help.

How do you become an expert if your just starting out? Well for starters we all know enough to solve someones problems.  We are all "experts" at something.  You have different life experiences and there is always someone out there that could get value from your knowledge.  

You just need to share it with the Universe.  And in turn the Universe will reward you.  This is how life works.

In Conclusion

Giving your expertise to the marketplace by providing enough valuable content and giving it time for your users to find you on the Internet are the key ingredients to becoming successful online.  

If your missing any one of these three elements that is probably why your not making money online.  I guarantee if you provide valuable content on what your an expert in that helps others solve a problem or a need, and give it enough time for the power of the Internet to do its thing; you will make money.
