Because Your Lucky Number Is?

I am a strong believer in the Pareto Principle, otherwise known as the 80/20 rule, or the rule of the vital few and the trivial many.

In any human activity, just a small group of factors is responsible for the lion's share of success.

For example, just 20% of affiliates earn 80% of the commissions.

20% of authors sell 80% of all books.

Only 20% of the people who read this article will benefit from taking action.

20% of your daily activities generate 80% of your success and income; and so on.

Have you figured out what your lucky number is yet?

Yes it's the magic 20 percent, you don't need to master scores of techniques and learn hundreds of secrets. Just a few - the right few - will bring you outrageous online success.

That's why it's important that you take time to identify the best places to invest your time an energy. Choose the affiliate programmes that generate the best return. Identify the ezines and web sites that create profitable returns on your advertising efforts.

Invest your time in developing the skills, knowledge and experience required to become one of the successful 20% of all affiliates

Learn and apply the right skills and techniques and you will become a giant of your industry. You will grow richer than you ever would otherwise. And you will be happy, because achievement is the key to happiness.

In short, you will succeed by mastering the vital few, while others squander their time on the trivial many.

Where can you learn those vital few skills?

Here are my top three recommendations...

Firstly, James Martell's 8-step process, which currently sells for $167, provides every piece to the puzzle of affiliate marketing and guarantees that anyone who follows in his footsteps will succeed! http://go-click.com/to/martell

And then in the less expensive ($47) The Super Affiliate Handbook Rosalind Gardner really goes into the details on how you can build you own profitable Internet business. http://go-click.com/to/gardner

And finally, there's an interesting alternative to just reading ebooks. There is a brand new programme that just gives you baby- step instructions. You will enjoy UNLIMITED step by step training for any and AS MANY affiliate programs as you want. And, at the time of writing, you can get started for only $29.97 http://go-click.com/to/class

Whichever one you choose, please DO ensure that you are one of the 20% who takes action. Because, if you invest your time in developing the right skills, you too could become a member of the 20% club and earn your share of the 80% in commissions!
