We all know that there are many elements that we consider “key” elements to success. As with anything you do dedication, time, effort, determination, wisdom, knowledge they are all important factors in you being successful with affiliate marketing. We think that, while everything is important, staying focused might just be the most important key to success. All to often we are busy with our day to day activities and forget to do the things we need to do for our affiliate marketing. It’s pretty easy to forget seeing as how most everyone reading this probably just considers affiliate marketing something you do part time for some extra cash. Unless you are making hundreds of thousands of dollars it’s probably not your main stream of income and therefore it can get overlooked fairly easy for days at a time. While this may be common it certainly isn’t a good thing for you or your success in affiliate marketing. This industry requires you to stay focused and set goals in order to become successful.
We always suggest being goal oriented because it gives you a target to work towards. If you don’t have goals you just sit on the computer every day doing a plethora of things that add up to basically nothing. If you have a goal in mind then your doing things to achieve that goal and eventually they can pay off when you successfully get to that point. We will point out a few goals and how to plan for those goals right now:
#1. Let’s say you want to have a successful blog on (maybe blogster.com) about weight loss, online movie rentals, and skin care.
GOAL: Create 3 blogs on blogster.com (one for each category), generate traffic to those blogs by blogging daily, linking, and promotion.
Focus on:
#1. Setting up the blogs over at www.blogster.com
#2. Writing a post on each blog every day of the week. Never miss one!
#3. Posting links to your blog on forums, other blogs, and other websites.
#4. Submit articles with links and information on your blog to article websites.
#5. Utilize Twitter, Facebook, & MySpace to drive your social network friends to your blog daily.
You see you have a goal and you also have things to focus on each and every day. It really helps to draw something like this out for everything you want to do with your affiliate marketing website. If you want to setup PPC accounts on Google, Yahoo!, MSN draw out your goal, how many ads you want to have written, and then write out the steps to get there. Each time you finish a step simply mark it off your list and continue on. Before you know it you will have achieved your goal and success should be right around the corner. Remember stay focused and stay motivated…. we’re always here to help if you need us!

Sounds a bit out there huh? I mean how in the word can you get “free advertising” on “the radio” right? Well actually it can happen in some areas of the country. Radio stations typically love to help their listeners out (kinda like local news stations). It shouldn’t be hard for you to give them a buzz and see if you can get on their morning show, late show, or the drive at 5 show in your local area. PR companies normally handle this for you, however, they cost money. There is absolutely nothing wrong with YOU acting as your own PR agent and locking down some radio PR for your website. You just need a story (typically how you got started) and a cause (to help people find better deals online). This strategy may be harder to utilize in large cities like New York, Chicago, LA etc but in small towns typically people will help each other out, and radio stations are willing to get you a little PR in every once in awhile. This strategy is “thinking outside the box” which is good. It’s time for you to start thinking differently so you can open up doors to opportunities that would have otherwise been closed. So today, right now, start calling local radio stations and see if you can land yourself a nice PR spot.
You know it’s amazing how far “word of mouth” can really get you in business. Most people typically write off word of mouth advertising simply because it’s obviously not going to get you the reach that Yahoo!, Google, MSN or Facebook will achieve. With that said, and naturally thats probably true, word of mouth advertising can still actually generate some buzz about your website. There is an offer inside of your MyAccount area (Marketing Tools>Resource Links) to get free business cards from VistaPrint.com. The cards look great and they are totally customizable so you can give them the look and feel you want. Get your free business cards and give them out to friends, family, people you work with, and just people you meet on a daily basis. Remember its not about one particular method reaching millions of people it’s about a “collection of methods” reaching an amazingly large number of people. This is just one of the methods in the overall collection, but it’s certainly not one we suggest you write off and forget about.
We think Dan’s story is a great one! Dan is like many other people in America “just worried about his job security”. Dan is now 50 years old and is a dry waller by trade. He was looking for something he could do to make money online, and possibly be able to quit his current job as a dry waller. Dan says in his video “he isn’t a social networker” but he was able to use just a few of the techniques we teach to generate about $75 in just a couple days and almost $500 in about a month using the system. Here is a great video from Dan and we want to thank Dan for sharing his story with not only us but all of our members and potential new members. We hope Dan builds his business up to the amount of money he needs to quit his job and work from home full time! Dan we appreciate you, your story, your testimonial and we wish you nothing but success!

We look forward to bringing both of these members stories and techniques to all our AffiliateMembership.com members so you can learn, grow, and become even more profitable.
Our first teleconference training event went great! We had a few hickups with the telephone line and the timing, but overall the information was there and it was very informative! All members can login to their accounts and download a recording of the call and listen to it as often as you like. Our next call will feature a few successful members sharing their stories as well as an update on social media marketing and how you can utilize it to become extremely profitable with our system.
We have now loaded new marketing videos that teach you about social network advertising. One of the best new ways to advertise is to take advantage of the social network scene, and by this we mean Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and the like.
