Affiliate Marketing – Every Journey Has to Start Somewhere, Amiright?
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started." -Mark Twain
Hey and welcome to what I can only describe as the start of a path of chaos, confusion, probably tears, and then hopefully a paycheck. Aren’t you glad you’re here?! Here I am baring all on my journey to make money online, through Affiliate Marketing. I’m not starting on day one. No, I’m starting my blog on day 180. I’m not wide-eyed and naive to expect that I’m going to be making money tomorrow. No, I’ve been working for 6 straight months. Scratch that, I’ve been “a looky loo” for 4 years!! But 10 months ago I decided to take massive action. And I failed over and over and over. I’ve already lost more money than I’d like to admit. But I’m not giving up.
Why, after I’ve already lost $xxxxxxx amounts of money would I continue to pursue this? Why, after I trusted a well known marketing coach who sold me an absolute crap product, would I keep pushing on? I’m glad you asked.
I understand that building any business takes a monetary investment, not to mention determination, grit and a willingness to fail more than your human nature would typically allow for. I believe that Affiliate Marketing is an undeniably solid path to building a long term business if you’re looking for something that will be able to provide you financial stability and maybe even retire you to a pretty nice lifestyle in the relatively near future. (Like, much nearer than my 60th birthday).
I believe this because I’ve done a lot of “studying” on YouTube, IG and the other ones and while I admit – YES, I can be a sucker for good marketing – I’ve actually seen some really impressively transformative stories from people of all backgrounds and experiences. I will share some of those stories which inspired me with you in the future.
Additionally, it’s been shared with me that Forbes magazine, among other financial publications, have named affiliate marketing as the fastest growing industry with the largest potential income of this decade. Now, that’s a train I want to make sure I’m on.
So, I’m this far in, and I’m starting again. Can I tell you what I’m starting over with? I joined Master Affiliate Profits, or “MAP”. This is an affiliate marketplace of the future. I joined because it’s going to pay long term dividends for years to come! Also, it’s a goldmine for marketing education, teaching me everything I need to know to get started, including how to set up this blog, and will continue to host extremely valuable courses and programs in the future! And as someone who sees myself as an expert marketer in the near future, though very much a clueless novice today, I feel strongly that the MAP ecosystem is something any affiliate marketer who takes herself seriously NEEDS to be a part of.
I’m sure you have a lot more questions:
-What exactly is affiliate marketing? Who’s it for?
-How does writing a blog lead to a paycheck?
-Who even are you???
-What is MAP and why should I check it out? (ok This one I will elaborate on in a future post but for now you should CLICK HERE to learn more, because they’re actually about to launch a new phase of the program and it would GREATLY BEHOOVE YOU to get in before the next phase takes off.)
Don’t worry, you’ll get answers to these questions and many more if you make sure you subscribe and follow along this riveting journey. (If it’s not riveting in the next 3 months, you and I can both quit.)
I’m looking forward to sharing my process with whomever finds themselves in my little corner of the internet. I’ve already learned a lot and I feel like I’m just getting started, so please check back to follow along my progress!
…and in my eagerness, I have a tendency to ramble on a bit so use the comment box below if you need me to SLOW……DOWN……. and take a breath. See you on the next one!
