After two years of researching, downloading a boatload of $$$ products, attending webinars and using up all of my savings, I came to ONE big conclusion.
I was going to promote other people's products! It is what is called "affiliate marketing" and what I didn't realize (and you may not know either) is that there are thousands of companies who allow you to advertise for them, or share a link to their website and offer you a commission for each sale.
What's the catch?
Many of these companies only offer 1 - 6% of each sale, so if you are promoting something that only costs $20, and you make 5% commission, your take home pay is only
$1 DOLLAR!
What? Hmmmm...there has to be a better way.
You have to KNOW your audience.
You have to KNOW what your audience is looking to solve a problem.
Other successful affiliate marketers added this golden nugget of #truth.
Solve a problem and you'll never go broke.
Solve a problem that is like something a person thinks about at least 6 times a day.
Plus, solve that problem with an instant downloadable product that pays you as the affiliate as least 50% of each sale.
Here's an example:
So, if the course is $47, you would get $23.50. If the printable planner is $27, you would get $13.50 into your paypal account.
Now, let's think BIG! If you got 100 sales at $13.50 in a month that is $1300. And that would pay for all those little "extras." Note: No one can guarantee any sales in any time period. There is no way to know what sales can/will be. I am sharing this for educational purposes only and as a case study. Plus, this was the mindshift that got me from $8.50 to over $100,000 in affiliate sales in one platform over 10 years. You just have to do possibility thinking.
And when I found out that literally MILLIONS of people love printables, that became a no-brainer for me.
Well..I'll just promote "all things printable." And it is working, and I am on track to have a bigger year this next year if I stay focused and work hard.
Does this sound familiar?
Tired of struggling,
drinking WAY too much coffee, and wasting months to get your blog views up so you can muster up the courage
to apply to one of those big advertising companies?
