What
does it Take to Get Results?

Every Affiliate I talk to tells me they want to make
money.
Makes sense. When I talk to my Top Affiliates in SystemeIO and in
SFI, they say the same thing, they want results. When I talk to a brand
new Affiliate, you got it, they want results.
We all want results in our affiliate marketing efforts. The key is in
learning how to consistently create
results.
That word: “create” is a very important word.
Successful
business people know that success isn’t
“found”. It
is not the result of luck. It is created by the action steps we take on
a consistent basis.
Here are 3 essential steps I believe every one of us should be taking
if we want to create affiliate marketing results in our businesses.
These are the things I am doing on a consistent basis, myself.
1) Training My Mind. Skip this step and none of the other steps will
matter. If you want success, you absolutely MUST get your mind
straight. How do I do this?
I attend online and offline training events to increase my knowledge of
email marketing, affiliate marketing, and list building as well as
overall business and success principles.
I read books by and about other successful people. It’s all
about
getting my mind in line with the way other successful people think.
I engage with like minded people who both benefit and contribute to my
personal journey.
There will be tough times. There will be distractions. Life gets busy
and things happen. There will be setbacks. Some of the people you
thought were going to run with you never take action. Or they quit.
There will be the naysayer who slanders your business and business
pursuits. I have had them all. You will too.
This is why I MUST train My mind to stay focused on My goals and the
processes that will get me there. Without this step, the following 2
steps will not matter. Why? Because that previous paragraph is true.
How do you spot someone with a mind trained for success? They
aren’t complaining. They aren’t jumping from one
program to
another. They aren’t making excuses. They are attending
webinars. They are reading
personal development books. They are constantly learning and
contributing.
2) List Building. Affiliate marketing results depend on list building. I know this is a
broken record repeating the same thing over and over, but it is TRUE.
I use free and paid traffic resources, advertising resources, traffic
exchanges, social media, etc… to constantly build my list of
prospects who are LOOKING FOR the kind of information I offer. In this
case, I am offering information about email marketing, affiliate
marketing, and the SystemeIO autoresponder system.
The people I talk to are people who WANT to know more and have
requested information. A targeted prospect list is an incredibly
valuable business asset and should never be overlooked. One of my
mentors said before we have an MVP we need to have an MVA.
What’s
that mean? Your A – Audience is first and foremost even
before
your P – Products. (MV is Minimum Viable, but could be Most
Valuable too.)
How do I build my list? All of my advertising and posts direct visitors
to my capture page where they can request more information. When they
fill out the form, they are added to my list for consistent follow up
and they get the requested information.
This happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all automatically. By the
time I personally hear from someone, they have typically seen my videos,
read my information, and may have a few questions. Maybe they just want
to see if I’m real and will actually reply to an email. This
makes it much easier to talk to them AND helps to disqualify those who
are not serious.
This means I am always working with workers.
3) Content Creation. When I write articles for my blogs (like the one
you are reading now), I will typically focus my content on how to solve
a problem.
With this blog, the content will typically be about helping businesses
who are affiliate marketers and using email marketing. The articles are
designed to answer questions and provide solutions.
Most of the time, my articles will also include an option for visitors
to request more information by filling out a form. You will see one at
the bottom of this article. This takes us back to Step 2 above, build
your list.
Along the way, I get to meet new people, make new contacts, even make
new friends, and build my lists. This helps build credibility and
rapport. That leads to sales. Not everybody who reads my content wants
to do business with me. But some do. And that is when the fun starts
time and time again!
Take the time to train your mind, build your lists, and create value in the market place.
The Affiliate
Marketing Results you create can pay you for years to
come.
