Clickbank Affiliate Marketing Tips

I’ve had a whirlwind month. I decided to go back to school so I can reach my ultimate dream of getting an MBA degree. It’s not always fun, but it is exciting. Beyond that, I met a girl back in December and as of this weekend, we’re now officially “together”. It’s a rather exciting time to say the least.

And this has caused me to really focus on what I’ve been doing, what I want to be doing, and how I can better serve my customers. (Hopefully that’s you). So, I’m writing this just to sort of reach out to you and hopefully give you a little insight into what I’ve been thinking.

What Makes Life Worth Living Anyway?

If you really are into this whole making money on the internet thing, odds are you have a reason for it. And if you’re like me, it’s just because you like money. Sure, money is awesome. I heard someone say the other day, “I don’t like money, I like the way it spends.” Made me chuckle. But let’s get serious here for a minute.

The real reason you want to work from home, or make a lot of money is so you can do more things with your family, right? Right now, I am really enjoying myself because my business runs even when I’m not around. I spent Sunday at Epcot in Disney with my girlfriend. While I was there having a blast, my business brought money in for me automatically.

Even as I write this from the comfort of my home, I have lots of automatic ways of making money online. And that’s great for me right? I’m gonna make another assumption here. I’d bet you’ve been trying to make money on the internet for a while. You’ve probably bought a lot of stuff and tried a few different things.

But no matter how hard you’ve tried, things just don’t seem to work out for you. And there’s a good reason for that.

Perception vs. Reality (The Internet Marketing Game)

In life, there is no absolute reality experienced by everyone. We all see with our eyes and then use our brains to “perceive” what just happened. That’s why 5 people can see the same car accident and give 5 different accounts of what happened. Sometimes, they can’t even agree on the color of the cars involved!

In reality, (pun intended) perception is what we go by. But how does this apply to Internet Marketing. Here’s how: The “gurus” and the internet marketing stars sell a dream. They don’t mean to. I will be honest and say I even do it myself. I’ve been doing this whole business thing since 2006. So when I say something is easy… it is – TO ME.

But to you, it probably isn’t. But common sense will tell you that you can’t sell something as “hard, difficult to learn, and very time consuming.” Who wants to buy that, right? So, we focus on the easy aspects, the parts that we like doing. But I am convinced that internet marketers put blinders on to the “reality” of the situation.

When we create a new business, we work like dogs. We are putting together all these different pages, contacting vendors, joint venture partners, writing copy, getting graphics done, working on the flow of the sales process. I mean, there is A LOT. But we sort of just “do it”. And guess what? When you’re done with it, everything really does sort of just happen and go “easy”.

But we tend to forget about the work, the hard part…the stuff we do that goes unnoticed by the masses that really creates the money. And this is the part that you don’t get to see and we don’t talk about.

How Much Money Do You Need?

I listen to Tony Robbins a lot. Really love his stuff. And he talked about how most people want to get “rich” when they don’t really need to. They just need to get enough money to cover their living expenses. Just imagine how you would feel if you brought in enough money each month to cover your house payment,electric, water, you car payment, insurance, and gas, food, credit card payments, or whatever else you had to pay for each month.

Now imagine if you could do that without a J.O.B.

Sounds pretty awesome right?

I’ve been able to do that for 5 years now. It hasn’t always been easy. And some years I make WAY more than other years. But overall, it’s been an awesome ride.

A New Way Of Internet Marketing

I’ve really taken a step back and looked at my life. And as I do that, I realize that I haven’t been “living” like I should. What I mean is that I’ve been very work focused. I guess that’s the nature of life in America. We are definitely trained to work. And I’m not saying I’m not gonna work and create like I’ve been doing.

But I am changing my priorities. I’ll be spending a lot more time with my girlfriend now. As a matter of fact, I’ve got a lot of plans (in my head) to travel with her. I’ll spend more time with my family, and I’ll focus on the things I want to do, not just my business.

And I will work less hours than I’ve ever worked before. And I plan on doing it by giving away more value than I ever have before. And I want to pass that value onto you.

I don’t want to go into it all here right now, I’ll put up a page soon to explain everything to you. I’ve got something in mind that I think you will absolutely love. It’s not meant to get you rich, it’s just meant to help you get started, make money, and eventually replace your day job so you can do what you want with your life.

That’s my new manifesto now.

I want to help people do what they want to do with their lives… even when they aren’t sure how.
