3 Affiliate Marketing Myths You Shouldnāt Believe. š¤«
Unfortunately, there are bunch of myths around around the industry.
All of which are false in my opinion...
So here are 3 of the top ones I see and hear often and the truth behind them. šš¼
ā Itās a Get Rich Quick Scheme
This is one of the biggest myths of all.
Some people think that it's an overnight success.
But in reality, Affiliate Marketing is all about building an audience who trusts you and your advice.
So, if you think affiliate marketing is going to make you rich overnight, then that is not going to happen.
ā
Bottom line: To earn online, you need to develop relations, build trust and help solve problems.
ā You Need a Blog or Website
Most of the people think that they need a blog or website to start affiliate marketing.
But thatās not the case at all.
Most people follow the path of creating a blog or website to give value as a way to communicate with their target audience and showcase products and services.
The problem is it takes time and 9/10 times you will get discouraged that you arenāt getting results and end up spinning your wheels.
If you are clear about who your target audience is and you stay consistent in your approach, you can start bringing in money without any complicated tech.
Be active in Facebook groups related to your niche.
You can share tips, and provide value to others within the community. This will get you more connections in your space, which will allow you to build more relationships by helping to solve the problems of others.
ā
Bottom Line: When you give value to your target audience consistently, people are bound to notice you.
ā Affiliate Marketing Can be Completely Automated
If you try to automate every single step of the process, you will end up creating an impersonal, unprofessional relationship.
Itās not good to use the automation at every step.
ā
Bottom line: When getting started with affiliate marketing, the more personal you can be and the more you show that you are actually a genuine person that cares and wants to help, the more commissions you will earn.
In conclusion.. šš¼
Affiliate marketing is all about trust, relationships and the developing the ability to sell āwithout sellingā.
If you stay consistent in your approach, have a basic understanding of sales and have a desire to truly help others, you will win. š°

LESSONS FROM BUSINESS FAILURES
Companies that experience innovation success grab onto it and believe that it is their secret to everlasting success. šā
ā
Unfortunately, this is not the case, although it would definitely make a CEOs job a lot easier. šā
ā
In this post i`ll let you in to the secret of why big companies fail! šā
ā
The business landscape is littered with cautionary tales of huge companies that failed due to lack of innovation.
An unwillingness to innovate puts any company at risk of failure, but refusing to evolve with the market can be even more devastating.ā
The six businesses we'll be discussing are:ā
ā
āMyspaceā
A website that was once the dominating social networking until Facebook came into the scene.
Funny enough in 2005 my space CEO Chris Dewolfe met with Mark Zuckerberg who offered the former 75million dollars for Facebook.
An offer Chris turned down- I believe you are reading this post on Facebook, the rest is history
ā Blackberryā
They changed the game in the mobile industry by offering a device with an arched keyboard.
Their encryption even into the early 2000 was second to none, but they werenāt thinking of their userās experience.
When the entire mobile industry began focusing on touch screens, they were eager to protect what they hadā¦ You know how the story ends
āKodakā
Steve Sasson, the Kodak engineer actually invented the first digital camera back in 1975, but it was a FILMLESS photography, so the managements reaction was,
š³āThatās so cute but donāt tell anyone about itā says Sasson. In short the leaders of Kodak had a golden chance to revolutionize photography but squandered the opportunity for self-preservation.
š¤·š½āā me any shop that is selling films for cameras Iāll give you 100bucksš°
āBlockbusterā
š„The video rental company was at its peak in 2004. They survived the change from VHS to DVDš but failed to innovate into the fast changing market.
The founder of NETFLIX Reed Hastings proposed a partnership with the former CEO of the blockbuster company John Antioco which he turned down. {You probably are looking at your Netflix app wondering what blockbuster is!!}
āNokiaā
š±Nokia was the first company to create a cellular network in the world. The late 1990 and early 2000 they were the global leaders in mobile phones.
š§ļøRain started beating them when they refused to lead the drastic change in their USER experience this lead them to create an operating system they though was good for their USERS but ended up not being a fit in the market.
{Your are probably scrolling to read this message wondering the last time you saw a NOKIA phone}. Right now they are playing catching up
āToys R Usā
The brand executed its own death when they signed a 10year contract to be an exclusive toy vendor at Amazon.
Despite the deal Amazon allowed other toys vendors to sell on its site. Toys R Us sued but as a result missed an opportunity to create its own E-Commerce presence
š¤·š½āāYou are probably wondering what this has got to do with me as an Affiliate or online entrepreneur
Well, it has everything to do with you.
YOU are currently running a business and may fall prey to what hose big companies failed to recognize and soon you may be elbowed by a new crop of entrepreneurs
ā¶ļøYour strategy as an entrepreneur should be laser focused
ā¶ļøMake sure you listen to your clientsā needs
ā¶ļøKeep up with the emerging trends
ā¶ļøAlways be innovative and strategic
šDonāt be part of the statistics of failed entrepreneursš but those who evolved and continue to remain relevant.

I am talking about that period of time, after you decide to dive into the online business thing!
You take action every single day, you do what you think and know is necessary, you sub for every software to help, but then you are not seeing any results š¦
You see, this is where most people give upā¼ļø
They start to changing products, jump on other platforms, and they start to seek shortcuts and forget about the processš¤¦š»āāļø
Self-doubt and distraction will kick in and you kill all the momentum you built š
I know early results will feel great, but reality is something else š

ā
Give up the employee mentality, donāt expect to get paid right after you do the job. The early results are not in dollars š°when the timing is right the money will come in great quantity. Do the job first!
ā
Shutout the distraction and focus on your focus:
šš» Pick one or two platform, until you master them and they pay you the money, then you can go from there. You donāt have to be Gary Vay from day 1 š¤Ŗ
šš» Pick one product that you really believe in, small portfolio of 2 or 3 products that fit in your niche is also good, as long as you can stay focused and in your line of business šš»
ā
Have a proven plan, be consistent, and do the reps.
ā
Be prepared to give yourself 3-6 months to see the results. If there were any magic pill, I would have bought it š
Ps. If you can hire a mentor to work personally with, and sub to softwares; that will help accelerate your growth, but if you canāt just yet, donāt worry, this is not going to kill your chances āļø

But, I am going to stand for, what I stand for!
Whether you have been doing Facebook marketing for a while, or you are just starting; this is something you will soon notice š and I believe it is one of the most essentials to your personal branding first and your business second.
šš» Posts Vs Contents
This one is hands-down the most misunderstood term in Facebook marketing!
Most people in this industry are POSTING to get COMMENTS and make crowd š£
Now, does this go to any conversion? I will leave the answer to you š
If your goal is to be famous and spend hours on Facebook, this is great.
However, if your goal is to build a personal branding and an army of followers, and actually make money, this aināt go nowhere š¤«
Simple example:
šø Posts (you got this, if you are seeing this ā¦ I hope you ā¦, type Amen if you believeā¦ and the list goes on and on and on)
šø Contents (problem and solution, educational, success story, inspirational real story, technical information, mind-set shift ā¦ etc.)
šš» Comments Vs Engagement
Comment is simply saying something, or anything to a post or a content, without even having a look on it š¤
We both know that most people do this to spike-up the algorithm š
Now there is nothing wrong with that; However, I think anyone who stops by a good content is better to leave some insightful thought š , this will help other people see your unique opinion and will make you stand out from the rest; now this is called engagement šš»
The only exception for this rule is that no one can make a very insightful engagement on a POST š¶
What could you say so insightful on a POST like āif you are reading this, I hope you ā¦) š¬
š£š. š¬š¼ššæ šš šš®š¹š¹ š¶š šš¼ššæ šÆšæš¶š±š“š² š½š®š“š², šš¼ššæ šš¢š”š§šš”š§š¦ š¶š šµš¼š šš¼š š½šæš² š³šæš®šŗš² šš¼ššæ šš®š¹š²š š
Makes sense? šš»
One key part of being a great marketer is understanding how (and why) people think and act the way they do. š¤ ā
ā
It's much harder to create compelling content marketing for example, if you donāt know why it would be compelling to your audience in the first place. š¬ā
ā
Understanding some key principles of psychology can take your marketing from š“š¼š¼š± to šš šššš”š, all because the right audience is reading and identifying with it (and most likely converting on it, too).ā
ā
To help you attract, convince, and convert more people with your marketing, you should know the following lessons about psychology. ā¤µ
ā
āļø Priming
āļø Reciprocityā
āļø Social Proofā
āļø Decoy Effectā
āļøScarcityā
āļø Anchoringā
āļøThe Baader-Meinh of Phenomenonā

My Mentor pulled me aside one day, and gave this incredible advice. šØāš«
I listened. It sounded okay, but I didn't really think anything would happen...š
He said "If you truly believe in what you're selling
If you know it's a superior product šÆ
If you know it will make people better Off š¤øāāļø
If you know it can bring people to a place they
may not otherwise get to. š¦
Then Isn't it our OBLIGATION to get our message out there?" š¤
šš That right there changed my perspective on marketing, it took me from being scared to selling, to having a passion for selling products and services that is useful and will enrich a person's life. š

Now Facebook messenger marketing is great, and it works for many people IF you are prepared to spend hours every day chatting with people š„
I prefer to use those hours working on the backbends, the long-terms results!
However if you still want to do messenger marketing here is what you are going to experience š
I believe knowing this upfront will save you tons of time, and energy.
There are mainly 5 different personalities on Facebook which you will find out as soon as they reply to your āmeeting and greetingā firs messagešš»
š¤š§šš ššØš”š§šš„ š¤
No matter what you say in your āmeet greetā message, they will send you their copy paste pitch script and most likely with a link š§¾
š¤š§šš š„š¢šš¢š§ š¤
They will reply with something like āoh, my team and I are working with some exciting projects. I would like it to show you, to take your opinion on, and boom the next thing you see is the link š¤¦š»āāļø
š¤š§šš š¦šš¢š„š§&š¦šŖššš§
Typically a person who replies to your message with either a thump-up, or the word āgoodā š
š¤š§šš š¦ššš ššš”š§šš„šš
You can say whatever you want, the only thing they will say is what they do, they keep asking you questions to figure out way to close you š¤Ø
š¤š§šš š”š¢š„š šš ššØš šš” šššš”š š
Finally, someone who will meet and greet you back and act normal.
ATTRACTION marketing is the answer š¤«

So why is this happening? You must first understand the game of Facebookā¦
Facebook is a platform that wants people to šš¤š£š£ššš© šš£š šš£šššš with each other šā¤ļøšš²š¢š”
What that means is, if your friends/audiences are not interacting with your post, Facebook will determine that the post you make, chances are, are š”š¤š¬-š¦šŖšš”šš©š® šš¤š£š©šš£š©ā¦ And it will not ā promote to more people.

Nobody Makes Money Online!
A common response or comment I hear when people ask me what I do for a living.
Well, let's take a look at the numbers, and you can decide for yourself.š§
The past five years, as seen a 52% growth in the affiliate marketing industry.š¹
81% of brands have adopted affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketers generate 23 % of sales on average for brands.š²
Affiliate marketing has made sales in US dollars in the following years.
2018 - $5.9 Billion
2019 - $6.4 Billion
2020 - $6.8 Billion
2021 - Projected sales are approx. $7.4 Billion
These numbers speak for themselves.š²
The best part of being an affiliate marketer is the potential to make a significant impact on your life and others.š¤
You can work as little or as much as you want.š¤
Have the ability to promote whoever or whatever you want.š
Work from anywhere on the globe, as long as you have access to the internet and a laptop.šš»
So the next time you hear that you can't make money online, share this information with them.š¢

Ever wondered how all the big shots get maximum engagement on their posts? Well here is the trick that they use.
ā
Warm up the Algorithm by engaging other peopleās posts that are similar to your niche.
ā
Write a comment similar to the post.
Do this for at least 20 minutes.
ā
Write your own Post. Write 2 posts a day and have a space of 5-6 hours between these posts.
ā
Write 1 inspirational post per day
ā
Write 1 post that provides value to the readers
ā
Write 3-4 posts a week on promoting your products but be careful not to just promote them directly in the post. e.g.
ā
Want to see this new method that gives me 100 leads a
day on auto-pilot?
ā
Want to start your own online business in $ xx?
ā
Want to design ebooks with absolutely no designing skills and covers at the click on a button?
ā
Forget Fiverr and those expensive graphic designers, learn how to design your own ebooks. Comment āebookā below
ā
Keep refreshing your Friends List by adding new people from different groups according to your niche. The people who are not commenting or engaging, go ahead and unfriend them and just have people who are liking and commenting on your posts.
ā
Every 2 weeks refresh your friend's list. There are a few tools that can help you do this. I use a chrome extension called FB Multi Tools
ā
Add 15-20 new people every day from different FB Groups according to your niche. You can add up to 5,000 people in your friend's list so those are 5,000 potential leads.
ā
You can also add people from buyer groups e.g. if you have purchased a product go to that group and add people from there. Be careful not to spook the group owner though.
ā
You can also look out for Facebook Ads that appear on your timeline and add people who have engaged on those Ads. A good place to add people would be from Facebook Ads by Tony Robbins, Peng Joon, Dean Graziosi, Tai Lopez to name a few.
ā
Stay consistent with your posting on Facebook
Total Posts Per Week - 14
Inspirational Posts - 7
Value Posts - 3
Product Promotion Posts - 4
Facebook Posting Schedule e.g.
Day 1 ( Inspirational + Value)
Day 2 (Inspirational + Product Promotion)
Day 3 ( Inspirational + Value)
Day 4 ( Inspirational + Product Promotion)
Day 5 ( Inspirational + Value)
Day 6 ( Inspirational + Product Promotion)
Day 7 ( Inspirational + Value)

Itās a jungle out there ā¦ā
It is no wonder affiliate marketers have a bad name.š
Someone sends you a friend request. You accept. Then after a quick hello, straight off the bat comes the āSo what do you do?ā question. āā
But you know damn well itās not really āSo what do you do?ā
You know the dude couldn't give a toss what you do.š¤¬
The question is really a statement, a statement that goes like this: āIām throwing out a little question here but in my next message Iām going to tell you how Iām Godās gift to affiliate marketing (Iām a 6 figure earner!!!! ā¦ Iām the best coach you are ever likely to come across ā¦ in fact, I am s**t š hot).
And then, in my third comment to you (a complete stranger) Iām going to ask you what your biggest challenge is in your business.
OK, so I have zero postsš of any qualityš on my profile but I told you IāM GREAT and because I am THAT should be enough.
Therefore, it is obvious YOU NEED ME. And THAT is why Iām going to ask you what your biggest struggle is.
And when you tell me (I wonāt be listening to your answer btw), Iāll hit you with my link.šØ
Boom. Jees Iām good.š
Why does this get up my goatā
Not because it is sheer stupidity. Nor because it demonstrates the dude has no idea what heās doing.
It gets up my goat because it staggers me how often it occurs.
So ... if you are out there thinking about using Facebook to promote your latest thing, remember, your profile is your ongoing message to the world šāāļø reflecting your value to potential customers.š
And your messenger chats reflect your character, your level of genuine interest in who you are talking to and your ability and willingness to help them out.š¤
So donāt be a part of the jungle.ā
Be a value giver.š
šWeāve ALL got Shiny Object Syndrome!š
If you are just starting out in affiliate marketing - or if you are thinking about starting out in affiliate marketing - the one thing that is guaranteed is that you will be inflicted with the dreadful disease called SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME.šš
Everyone has it. Some people have it well under control. But be assured, for most digital marketers, SOS is alive and well.š
You know what Iām talking about ā¦ the lust to jump from one thing to the next. Itās the āGrass Is Always Greenerā syndrome.š
So what should you do about itāā
Know that you have it (yes you do)š
Know that youāll be tempted by many things - courses, widgets, apps, programs - that make you think āOh, so THIS is what I need. If I jump on board with THIS then Iāll finally start making the sales I wantā.š¤
Understand the conditions that activate SOS - because Shiny Object Sydnrome strikes when you are finding things TOUGH.š¤¬
Repeat that ā¦ when you find the going tough is when Shiny Object Sydnrome strikes.š¤¬š¤¬
Once you are aware of the pattern THEN you can say āHello SOS ā¦ no thanks!ā and then check back on your action plan and ACTION the next thing.š¤
Thatās it!
There is a trick to this, however.
SOMETIMES ā¦ the object that looks shiny MIGHT be what you need to embrace next.ā
SOMETIMES! In short, if you are not with an awesome training program that is based on implementation and proven strategies ā¦ and that has a vibrant, active, supportive community of smart people ā¦ and you find such a program then THAT maybe your next step.šāāļøšāāļø
In this instance, it may not be Shiny Object Syndrome at all. It might simply be your green light.š¦
You are going to have to work out the difference yourself.š¤
Happy days š
ā Is Perfectionism Holding You Back? ā
Hereās a message very applicable to affiliate marketing, but also to life in general.
Perfectionism - The progress killer!āš
Perfectionism really says:
āI will not implement anything unless I believe it is up to my (ridiculous, perfectionist) standards. As a result I will produce way less content than is possible, implement way fewer new ideas than I could - all because I value my own perceptions of what is acceptable more than I value progress.āš
The reason why a perfectionist stays a perfectionist is simply by not questioning their own actions,š not gaining clarity on what it is.
How do you change from being a perfectionistāā
Simple.
1) Become aware of your perfectionistic waysš±
2) Become aware that itās all in your mind - your self-judgements (of your own work) that make no real sense todayš¤”
3) Do the opposite š š
Yes, just for the hell of it, put something out there with a typo in it - just to help reprogram yourself. See what it feels like. (You won't die!)š¤£
Put the thing out there after two edits rather than six.ā
š (You can always give it a re-edit in six months when you have a bit more time)ā
š
This is not about publishing crap.
No, rather, the flip side of perfectionism is imperfect action.š¤ Take action. Make mistakes, improve, take more imperfect action.š¤ ā
šNo more perfectionism!š
šVALUE!š
Have you provide any value todayāā
Are you promoting something? Anything? Perhaps here on Facebookā Maybe Youtubeā Pinterestā Whateverā
If you are promoting something then hereās a question for you ...
Are you providing regular value to your audience?
Did you provide švalueš last week? Did you provide švalueš yesterday? Have you provided švalueš today?
There are so many promoters, marketers, etc whose posts are 95% links to offers, links to sell, links all about me, me, me.ā
Yet if you re serious about attracting an audience and promoting your offer to them, then provide VALUE to them.
Everyā
Singleā
Dayā
THEN you'll find your audience knocking on your door.š”
Much better they come knocking on your door than you continually try bashing down theirs with your offers.
šBe valuable!š
ā
Leadership ā
- what is it? Why is it important?
Leadership is about paving the way for others to lead.š
Itās about empowering others.ā
Therefore, itās about helping others.
In affiliate marketing, we need to have a burning desire to help others succeed.š¤
WHY? Because when you have a burning desire to help others - and we demonstrate that desire - those others (your audience) will sense it.š¤©
It's almost as if that 'burning desire to help' has a smell to it!š¤©
By helping others you attract your audience.š¤
BTW, hereās a different kind of activity that also has a SMELL to it - a repellent SMELL!š± š¹
It's called Throwing links around here, there and everywhere WITHOUT providing regular value.š
So ā¦ provide regular value ā
Cultivate within yourself a genuine desire to help people ā
Then demonstrate that desire by helping people ā
š Stay safe š
The reality of marketing on Facebook.
We often hear marketers grumbling āThe market is saturated!āš”
It can certainly look that way on facebook.š±
But what is the realityāā
First up, there are around š.5 BILLION šššššš monthly users on Facebook.š
Do we really need to do the mathāā No!
But hereās the next thing. If affiliate marketing is your game know that:
- The vast majority are not making it
- Most of the glamour is BS
So if you have are a part of a community following a system that actually šWORKSš - for those who follow it and put in the effort - then MOST of the people who make up your so-called āsaturatedā market probably need YOUR help.š¤
You just need to learn how to help them.
ā
Be valuable ā
ā
Offer value and support so your audience comes to you ā
ā
Be genuine, transparent ā
Itās about helping others be successful.
Hav a great day.šš
ššFour Golden Rules When Using Facebook For Organic Reach (Part 2)šš
Following on from my previous post , here are some more tips if you are using Facebook to build up your engagement on your profile. ā
ā
This time, though, letās consider how the Facebook algorithm works so we can get it working in our favourš
The overarching thing to know about Facebook is this: When you send a post, Facebook will show it to about 20 of your friends.
If those people comment on your post (especially 4-5+ words and a heart or emoji) then FB will show it to more people. šš
The more people who comment on your posts, the more your posts will show up on the timelines of your friends and of your friendsā friends. š
The second overarching thing to know is that Facebook monitors so many things (itās scary!)š±
ššFour Golden Rules To Be Aware Of ... šš
ššGolden rule #1šš: Donāt copy-paste otherās posts.
Understand that Facebook knows when you have COPIED a post the algorithm will decrease that postās visibility.
ššGolden Rule #2šš: Don't speed down your FB feed going Like ā¦ Like ... Like ... Like ā¦
Facebook knows when you are speeding down your feed liking people's posts like a mad thing - not reading, not commenting.
If you do this FB knows you are NOT engaging, and as āpunishmentā will send your posts to less people. FB WANTS PEOPLE TO ENAGGE ā¦ SO ENGAGE!
ššGolden Rule #3šš: Don't Suddenly send tons of friend requests
If you have had your FB page for ages (or if it is new) and do often add new friends
ā¦ and THEN you suddenly decide to use FB for promotional purposes
ā¦ and THEN start sending Friend Requests like crazy, what do you think will happen?
Is this something FB wants? No! šš
Will FB assume you are a spammer, a moron, a twat?š¤ Yes!
FB will block you from descending more and if you keep pushing theyāll shut your account down.
ššGolden Rule #4šš: Remember, this is Facebookās sandpit you are playing in, not yours.
Like it or not, we have to play by their rules. Itās just the way it is. š
Facebook provides all this for free. Itās pretty cool.
All you have to do is play by the rules! š
š Stay safe people!š
