    How To Build Your Best Online Business

    From an outsider looking in, it may seem daunting and impossible to start your own business.

    It’s not.

    Plenty of people with lesser skill sets, resources and time, from all walks of life and of all ages have gone to live the life they’ve always dreamed of by simply putting one foot in front of the other. Like anything, entrepreneurship can be a taught and learned skill.

    Remember the time when you learned how to ride a bike?

    In the beginning, it wasn’t easy right? Unless you had an adult helping you while you pedal. The most challenging part about riding a bike is balancing and braking. Building a business is no different.

    5 Mistakes To Avoid When Starting Affiliate Marketing

    Do you wish you could make money online while writing blogs from the beaches of Thailand?

    In the ever-evolving landscape of online business, affiliate marketing has emerged as a promising opportunity for individuals and organizations to generate passive income. By promoting products and earning commissions for each successful referral, affiliate marketers can tap into a vast online market and achieve financial success. However, navigating the realm of affiliate marketing can be challenging, especially for beginners. In this article, we will delve into the five critical mistakes to avoid when starting your affiliate marketing journey, equipping you with the knowledge to excel in this competitive industry.

     1. Neglecting Proper Niche Research

    Choosing the right niche is fundamental to the success of your affiliate marketing endeavors. One common mistake beginners make is neglecting thorough niche research. By understanding the interests, needs, and preferences of your target audience, you can identify profitable niches and tailor your marketing efforts accordingly. Take the time to analyze keyword trends, conduct market research, and utilize keyword research tools to uncover lucrative niches with high search volume and low competition.

    2. Overlooking the Importance of Content Quality

    Content is king in the world of affiliate marketing. Producing high-quality, engaging, and valuable content is essential for attracting and retaining your audience. Avoid the mistake of prioritizing quantity over quality. Focus on crafting compelling blog posts, articles, videos, or podcasts that provide genuine value to your readers. Invest time in thorough research, employ a conversational tone, and incorporate storytelling techniques to captivate your audience and establish yourself as an authoritative figure in your niche.

    3. Failure to Build and Nurture an Engaged Audience

    Building a loyal and engaged audience is a cornerstone of successful affiliate marketing. Many beginners underestimate the importance of nurturing a community around their brand. Interact with your audience through social media platforms, respond to comments and messages promptly, and foster a sense of trust and connection. Engage your audience through email newsletters, exclusive offers, and personalized content to create a lasting relationship. By fostering an engaged community, you enhance the likelihood of conversions and long-term success.

    4. Disregarding the Power of SEO Optimization

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a vital aspect of affiliate marketing. By optimizing your website and content for search engines, you can increase your visibility and attract organic traffic. Incorporate relevant keywords naturally throughout your content, optimize meta tags and descriptions, and focus on building high-quality backlinks from reputable sources. Additionally, consider employing local SEO strategies if your affiliate marketing efforts target specific geographical regions. Remember, a well-optimized website is more likely to rank higher in search engine results, ultimately driving more traffic and potential conversions.

    5. Ignoring Data Analysis and Tracking

    To excel in affiliate marketing, it is crucial to analyze and track the performance of your campaigns continually. Neglecting this aspect can hinder your ability to make data-driven decisions and optimize your strategies. Utilize analytical tools like Google Analytics to monitor website traffic, conversion rates, and user behavior. Leverage affiliate marketing tracking software to track clicks, sales, and commission earnings accurately. By analyzing this data, you can identify trends, uncover areas for improvement, and refine your marketing tactics for better results.

    Conclusion

    Embarking on an affiliate marketing journey can be both exciting and challenging. By avoiding these five common mistakes, you can position yourself for success and outperform competitors in the online realm. Remember, comprehensive niche research, high-quality content creation, community engagement, SEO optimization, and data analysis are essential components of a winning affiliate marketing strategy. By implementing these best practices, you can build a profitable affiliate marketing business and achieve your financial goals.

  • How To Become The Top Salesman In Your Organization

    How To Become The Top Salesman In Your Organization

    My Door-to-door sales strategy that allowed me to become the top salesman in my company… at 14

    The story I’m about to share with you not only changed the game for me back then, but it’s been one of the single biggest lessons that’s allowed me to crush it in network marketing for almost 20 years now and has allowed me to become the top salesman in multiple companies.

    I got my first sales job at 14 selling newspapers door-to-door.

    And boy did I suck.

    Jimmy was my trainer. He was 16, heavyset (which will matter here in just a moment) and this kid was so good he could sell reading glasses to the blind.

    I followed him around for two nights and watched him pitch.

    Smooth as silk.

    He had no fear, built rapport immediately, flowed right into the presentation and seemed to be able to overcome just about every objection that came up. There was a reason they chose Jimmy to be the trainer.

    Then on the 3rd night, it was my turn to go it alone.

    I was incredibly nervous but felt I learned enough to become the top salesman for that night.

    Door after door after door I screwed it up. I finished the night with a goose egg… that’s right – zero sales.

    I remember thinking I would never have what it took to become the top salesman… or even get ONE sale. I almost quit.

    But I persisted on and eventually, I got to the point where I could get through the presentations, overcome some objections and in some cases even make some sales.

    There were 6-8 of us who they’d pick up in a big van, drop us off in different neighborhoods and then pick us up at the end of the night and we’d tally up everyone’s sales.

    They ran a contest each night. Whoever sold the most subscriptions would win some kind of prize. It was usually something like $ 10 or a gift certificate somewhere.

    Each and every night ended up with yours truly being disappointed because I literally NEVER finished #1. I got beat every night by the other kids. (Jimmy won more than anyone else by far)

    Well, I may have sucked as a salesman, but I was hyper-competitive even back then. It pissed me off so bad that I got beat night after night I was thinking about how I could possibly win and become the top salesman?

    Walking from door-to-door for 3-4 hours a night you have lots of time to think.

    It finally hit me.

    Jimmy, not being in the best shape, moved pretty slow. I was always a skinny kid and in pretty good shape.

    I thought to myself, maybe if I RUN from door-to-door and just talk to more people, I can beat Jimmy.

    So that’s exactly what I did. I started sprinting from door to door. Considering that half the people didn’t even answer the door, you can talk to a hell of a lot more people when you run.

    And guess what started to happen?

    Not every night, but every once in awhile, I would win the nightly top sales award.

    I had found a way to become the top salesman for the night!

    It felt so good!

    Did I become the top salesperson on those nights because I was a better salesperson?

    Obviously not.

    Jimmy was way better of a salesman than I ever hoped to be.

    I beat him, even though in comparison I sucked, simply because I talked to way more people every night.

    When I got into network marketing, I sucked just as bad as I did as a newspaper salesman.

    If you know my story, you know I struggled for 5 long and painful years. At one point I was homeless and sleeping in my little, red, beat up Honda Civic bathing in gas station bathrooms selling above ground swimming pools.

    I may have been a little bit slow, but when I finally decided to get it through my thick skull that it’s simply a numbers game, THEN I started to win.

    In the past 19 years, I’ve become the top salesman, the #1 income earner in three companies NOT because I’m the best closer, the best presenter, or the best of anything.

    I became #1 because I worked the numbers MASSIVELY.

    I got rejected MASSIVELY.

    Sure, I’ve learned to master every major skill in our profession, but you can be the very best in the world and you’ll get beat ALL DAY LONG by the person who may have less skill, but is willing to talk to 5 times more people.

    If you suck right now, remember this…

    What you lack in skill, you make up for in numbers.

    On a skill level from 1-10, I don’t care if you’re a 2 or a 3… You can still beat the person who is a 9 or a 10 if you’re willing to talk to 5 times more people.

    And don’t worry, if you’re continuing to invest in yourself to learn the skills, you’ll get mastery fast if you’re willing to do the work.

    So…

    Go do the work.
