Have you ever stopped and considered your own buying habits?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself: Why did I buy that product?

Whether it was a new car, a treadmill, or a new book…ask yourself…

-Where did your interest begin?
-What steps did you take next?
-How did you make the decision to pull out your credit card?

By doing this exercise – your mind will begin to open up, and see how people make BUYING decisions.

See, that’s the bottom line…You need to find the BUYERS, NOT just leads, prospects, or tire kickers.

Granted, you can build relationships with prospects, warm them up to your idea, get them to like and trust you, then ask them to buy your product or one you recommend…but frankly, that’s a lot harder than just intercepting a buyer.

So let’s break this down in plain English.

Here are the 5 stages of the buying process.

1.) The person is introduced to a product through media.
2.) The person decides they WANT to buy the product.
3.) The buyer begins to RESEARCH the PRODUCT NAME online
4.) The buyer is finds REVIEWS, and is EDUCATED.
5.) The buyer FEELS EMPOWERED, and BUYS the BEST product!

Notice the key words.

-Want
-Research
-Product name
-Reviews
-Educated
-Feels empowered
-Buys the best

Repeat the list above out loud to yourself…

Are you beginning to see the picture?

Any light bulbs go on yet?

No?

Well, let me explain why this should excite you!

A buyer is someone who has been introduced to a product, and they have made up their mind that they are READY to buy a product, but they just need a little confirmation and education before they spend their money.

In this day and age of lies and scams, people are more skeptical than ever before…so online buyers use the internet to educate themselves BEFORE they buy.

Thus begins the online research process.

And this is where the “gold” begins for us affiliate marketers…and it’s so simple, you’re going to slap yourself for not thinking of this before.

As an affiliate marketer, it is our job to intercept the buyer, and help them make an informed decision.

Let me say that again…because you need to get this.

It is our job to intercept the buyer, and help them make an informed decision.

And when we do that, the buyer feels empowered…and happily buys the product. The key is, the buyer buys the product THROUGH our affiliate link, and that is how we are compensated for doing our job.

Now the buyer is happy because we educated them, and we are happy because we got paid. It’s a win win situation.

And it all happened because we understood HOW people make buying decisions.

It all happened because we intercepted the buyer, and helped them make an informed decision.

And that my friend, is one of the easiest way to make money online.
