Ok, so this may not be exactly what most marketers do each day, but it gives you an idea of how a successful affiliate marketer spends his or her time.
All you need to do to be in this position is to find a successful online marketer who has "been there, done that" and then learn from what he or she has to teach. But most importantly you MUST IMPLEMENT what you learn.
It will take time. Probably more time that you first think, so give yourself a bit of flexibility to reach your goals. If you're very serious and take action, there is no reason why you too can't live the lifestyle of an online marketer.
Is that success looming in the distance?
Remember, success is not measured by the amount of material wealth you obtain but by who you are as a person.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Pastor Bobby Keating. I have been in Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Home Based Business, Work at Home, and endless other names for about 15 years.
Basically I have been under the impression for the last 15 years or so that I could make money at home with my computer.
When I first started, I felt in my bones that within a very short time, I would be just rolling in dough. That was 15 or so years ago.
I shudder remembering the amount of money, time, effort, money (my money) that I spent trying to get rich.
I let my greed guide me and guide me it did to the point of bankruptcy.If you’ve been doing this for a while, I’m sure you can relate. If you’ve just begun, don’t get discouraged. Read on. I want you to benefit from my mistakes. I have a lot to tell you...
Everyone likes to make money. Everybody knows that it takes money to survive. It takes money to live well. Money is a tool for us to use to get the things that we need and the things we want. Unfortunately sometimes the necessity for money overrides our sensibilities and we are consumed with a passion to make money. Money becomes the master.
This may seem strange but our attitude towards money can determine how much of it we will win. If we make money the focal point of our endeavors, we make wrong decisions and often fall for things that we know in our hearts are wrong.
First let me state that success is not measured by the amount of material wealth that we ac- quire. It is measured by the amount of balance we attain between our physical selves and our spiritual selves.
We must ask ourselves a question. Am I a physical being who sometimes has a spiritual experience or am I a spiritual being who is now having a physical experience? Before we can begin a journey, we need to know where the starting point lies. Keep reading and soon all of this will begin to make sense. The very best advice for becoming successful comes directly from the Holy Scriptures. In the book of Jeremiah, God tells Jeremiah, who doubts his ability to be successful, something that changed my opinion of myself.
He told Jeremiah, “I knew you before you were conceived in your mother’s womb.” Think about that. God knew Jeremiah, He knew me, and He knew you before we became physical beings.
To me, this was an immense revelation. I realized that my essence, my core state of being is spiritual. Just like my physical body needs to be nourished and exercised, my spiritual self has the same needs.
In order for me to find success, I needed to find balance between my physical being and my spiritual being. Read on and we’ll go on an adventure. Our goal is harmony because harmony will facilitate our success.
Discovering the essential parts of my “self” was the beginning of my path to success. Understanding that, in order for me to be successful, I needed to work on balancing my primary spiritual self with my secondary physical self. I needed to keep my physical body healthy and, just as importantly, I needed to keep my spiritual self healthy.
In modern society, it’s not easy to admit that we need spiritual and physical balance. We are sophisticated, educated and liberated. Unfortunately, in our effort to be the” captain” of our own destiny, we lose site of the true source of principles that will guide us to the success in life that we need so very much. We refuse to relinquish control of the wheel, even when we know that we are headed to- ward the rocks of ruin and destruction. Every good captain relies on the guidance of a good navigator.
Right now, at the beginning of our journey, we need to take the advice of the best navigator that is available to us. For me, I can only tell you what I know works, my navigator is Christ.
From my personal experience, I have amassed a vast knowledge of what not to do. Also I have discovered something that has catapulted me into the fast track to success. I want to share both with you.
I know that you’re anxious to get to the “good” stuff. Be assured that even the bad stuff is good stuff to know. When you know that there is a pothole in the road, you know to avoid it. By not avoiding the potholes and pitfalls, you avoid success. Be patient. Patience is a virtue.
I’m not going to dwell on the negative but I want you to be aware of some “negative motivations” that seem pretty and the right thing to do but will ultimately delay your advancement on the road to success.
First of all, if you are not ready to devote some time to “working” these strategies, you may as well put this book down and continue stumbling down the road. Maybe after 10 or 15 years of potholes, pitfalls and wasted cash and time, you’ll pick it up again. There’s a train coming! You need to stop, look and listen. Read on! You’ll be glad you did. I guarantee it!
Pothole #1. The smooth talker. I know that you know that there are literally thousands of smooth talking con artists out there.
Just look at the number of Biz Ops web sites and newsletters there are out on the Internet. I’m not kidding. There was a time that my inbox was filled with this newsletter and that newsletter. All of them selling ad space to every Tom Dick and Harry who would fork over money. 95% of them have 0% integrity.
Don’t misunderstand. There are scores of really good email newsletters that operate legitimately and offer great information. Weeding thru the mess is the time consuming problem.
How many times have you heard - “Make tons of money in 2 weeks and fire your boss!” - “This is the sure fire best Internet Program ever. No work, it’s automated and it’ll make you a ton of money in no time.” “ Six Figure income with no work, no effort. You get everything FREE!” Etc.
You’ve seen them; everyone in the universe has seen them. They all work! (For the guy who initiates them but not for the poor schmuck who falls for the pitch!)
There is a bunch of money being made and an even greater amount being lost (wasted) by people who are letting their greed control their brains. Don’t fall for all of the crap ads you see. If it sounds too good to be true - it isn’t. I’ve done a lot of accidental research. I know that the vast majority of these things don’t work.
I’ve created cheesy web sites with a hundred affiliate links that sat dead in the water. Why do you think all of these guys want you to sell their products for them?
For all of you who are interested, I will show you how to create your own “information product” that you can sell, give away or do whatever.
In fact, I’ll even give you a few. Later on I’ll tell you about them. Don’t skip ahead and try to find out what it is. If you do, you’ll miss the point.
Remember, patience is a virtue. I want you to understand the principles first so you’ll be able to appreciate the value of this information.
Timing is key. Education is vital, and personal development is essential to creating success. Please read ALL of this information.
Pothole #2 - “Easy, no learning a system necessary. We’ll do all of the work for you! “Have you run across a few of these programs that tell you that it’s so easy that their 7 yr old child could do it?
Do not be foolishly lead into a false sense of security that this wonderful company started by a guy who has now made millions of $ on the Internet is not only going to disclose to you ALL of his hard earned secrets but He’s created a system that’s going to do all of the work for you. Aren’t we fortunate to have someone who cares so much about us!
I am, later, going to let you in on something that will work for you. It’s working for me in an amazing way. I’m going to be honest and up front with you, though. I’m going to show you how to become successful. Actually we’re going to make each other successful. I’m not doing this for free. If you see that this will take you where you want to be, I’m going to give you a head start. Not only that, I’m going to be your personal mentor. I’ am successful. If you’re willing to work at it and follow directions, you’ll make money and so will I. Is that an honest proposal? I want you to be successful because that will make me even more successful. The catch is that you MUST be willing to learn. You must be willing to put forth some effort. You MUST work on becoming balanced in both spirit and body. That’s not too much to ask in return for the information that I’m going to share with you.
I am by vocation an evangelist. My first passion is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Don’t worry; I’m not going to ask you to join a church or anything like that. I just want you to know who I am and what I believe. I want you to be able to trust that what I tell you is the truth. I answer to a Higher Authority. I MUST be honest with you and I will.
You need to study and devote some time to this. Soon you’ll see that this will be your occupation. You’ll be able to work from home, spend more time with you family, be financially secure. You’ll be able to apply all of this to your life and create the lifestyle that best works for you!
Are you ready to learn? One of the greatest facilities that God gave human beings is the ability to learn. Each of us, according to interest, discipline, drive and motivation can learn. Some quickly, others not as quickly.
We know that whatever we do, the more we learn about it, the easier it becomes and the better we do it. Whether it’s our job or a game or a relationship, our success comes through learning.
The same applies to personal development and success. The more we learn and apply that which we learn, the farther down the road to success we advance.
I want to introduce you to The Christian Success Institute. At the Christian Success Institute, we have gathered some of the top personal development coaches, motivationalist, and entrepreneurs. Each of them offers instructions in every aspect of personal development.
These are the top success winners on the planet. We are also in the process of bringing on- board a number of the world’s most successful spiritual development counselors. These men and women are the top in their field and have prepared a course of study designed to teach you not only what success is all about but how to attain it.
There are two parts to The Christian Success Institute.1.) You will have the expert coaching you need to learn to be successful through an in depth Success Training Bible Study and an Intense Study of King Solomon’s Principles for Success and a study of the latest Internet Marketing Strategies and Applications.
2.) There is an opportunity to earn a lifetime residual income while you learn.Residual income is that automatic income that keeps on coming in month after month.
The best part of all of this is that I, personally, should you decide to try this, will be your personal mentor. I’ll teach you how to be successful and I’ll teach you how to make others successful. I’ll give you all of the ways that I use to earn more and more every month.
I won’t get into exactly how this works here. I will tell you that, when you join as an active student, you will have access to some truly inspiring information.
