Watching the grass grow can be frustrating. What more should I be doing?Date:
The biggest challenge facing anyone starting out in affiliate marketing -- in my opinion -- is the feeling of isolation. I clearly remember how lonely I felt in the beginning, building my first few sites in the basement and nervously wondering, 'am I doing it right?' Or, 'is this really going to work?' Like you, maybe, I wasn't even sure if my 'pay-codes' were properly imbedded. I constantly fretted about whether the search engines would rank me high enough to get traffic. And the wait for indexing was almost unbearable at times. What I needed was an example of successIn those early days, I would have paid thousands to anyone with a proven track record if they would talk to me about their 'real life' experience on the Net with affiliate programs. Wouldn't it be great, I thought, if I had such a mentor, and I could get him (or her) on the phone every few weeks, just to chat for a half hour or so. What a confidence builder that would be, to hear about his successes -- and failures -- first hand. Then, I wouldn't have to be constantly wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just the fact of 'knowing' there was someone out there who had a 'handle' on this business would have provided the inspiration I desperately needed, as I started out with affiliate programs. And if there was some 'little thing' I needed clarification about, he could easily set me straight, without wasting a lot of time myself digging through the chat rooms and forums to find out, -- followed, of course, by the inevitable second guessing. Just being able to pick his brain about how he sets goals and stays motivated during the predictable 'rough spots' associated with entrepreneurship would have been invaluable. Because frankly, there were times when I felt like calling it quits. Twice a month subscribers to my audio newsletter get to hear first hand about issues that affect all affiliate marketers
I considered one-on-one consulting, but the cost would be out of reach, if I were to charge appropriately for my personal attention. I thought of writing a newsletter. But frankly, newsletters and e-zines are a-dime-a-dozen these days. And it would be difficult to deliver the 'flavour' of success on the Net using e-mail. Then a comment by a business associate got me thinking. He said, 'why not record some of my phone conversations and convert them to 'streamable' audio, so that anyone with speakers and a media player could listen as I talk about the day-to-day aspects I encounter as a successful affiliate marketer?' It occurred to us both that I often discussed things in casual conversations on the phone that could, conceivably, alter your whole approach to affiliate marketing. If for no other reason, than you could get an 'insiders' peek into my business and personal life that has been completely transformed, in a financial sense, by developing high traffic web sites, as an affiliate for hundreds of merchants in numerous industries. And although these calls would require pre-recording, they could be open-ended enough to allow for the spontaneity one would expect when overhearing friends talking about the ups and downs of their business. To accommodate my travel schedule there is no fixed schedule. But each edition will arrive by e-mail twice a month, approximately every two weeks. The duration should be about 30-40 minutes. As a general rule, the shows are roughly divided into three 10-12 minute segments that each deal with one of three aspects: inspiration, information and motivation. Enjoy three complimentary Buzz shows:
At a cost of only US $10.00 a month -- which you may cancel ANYTIME -- you can stay "plugged in" to the real life aspects of life on the Net with affiliate programsIn order to provide you with a sense of continuity, I'll send a new edition approximately every two weeks. That way you'll be better plugged in. Hopefully, these regular audio newsletters will keep you inspired, informed and most importantly -- MOTIVATED. Once again, you get TWO editions each month -- not one -- for the low price of US $10.00. So, your cost per edition is less than five dollars. And you don't even need a credit card -- just an e-mail address -- because PayPal handles the collection of subscription fees. (and converts numerous foreign currencies into the U.S. equivalent) NOTE: Upon subscribing you gain immediate access to my archives -- which contains over 35 HOURS of audio (see entire archive). And, of course, your subscription may be easily and quickly cancelled anytime. Can you afford to wait and let the competition gain the upper hand in the fast moving world of the Internet?If there is one thing I've learned in my journey to financial success on the Net it is this: be careful who you listen to. I clearly remember when, in the winter of 2002, Google changed their algorithms; catching me and countless others in a vulnerable position due to following the prevailing wisdom at the time on how to gain PageRank -- and traffic -- at Google. Thankfully, I was able to recognize my mistake and take corrective action. Others were not so fortunate. Frankly, there is nothing more depressing than to see one of your websites go from -- 1000 visitors a day to ZERO visitors a day -- between the time you go to bed at night and the time you reboot your computer in the morning. It would truly be a shame for you NOT TO AT LEAST TEST DRIVE MY AUDIO NEWSLETTER. Seriously, I now enjoy incredible success on the Net -- with no end in sight -- as the possibilities for new industries to pursue continues to increase. I spent three years getting to this point and have written an acclaimed training detailing my procedures. (full details here) If you had asked me three years ago to spend ten bucks a month for the chance to 'conference in', as a bona fide expert discusses his business, I wouldn't even hesitate. And if you've just bought my manual let me tell you this: the first few months are critically important. For only an extra $10 a month you simply MUST subscribe so that your motivation remains high as you get started. It would be a shame if you put my training manual on the "back burner" as some have done due to feeling isolated. By starting off with a twice-a-month subscription to "the buzz" for only an extra $10 you almost guarantee yourself a successful start -- and from there the skies-the-limit!! So I urge you to give James Martell's Affiliate Buzz a try for only US $10.00 a month -- even if only for a few editions -- rather than miss out on possibly hearing the vital key to your own success in the competitive, ever changing world of the Internet. Warmly,
James Martell Upon subscribing you gain immediate access. Remember, you are NOT on the hook each month if you don't like it, and of course I have made it very easy for you to unsubscribe as well! Plus, each new audio newsletter is archived, so you can listen again and again and 'mine' each edition for some 'nugget' that might provide you with that 'missing' element to your own success. |
