Top Affiliate Marketers Forget What Really Matters

Top affiliate marketers recruiting for dollars but what exactly have they been doing to help new recruits get started? I’ve heard many stories from newbies that started programs, most of them said they never can get a hold of their sponsor and when they do all they get is “Go to your back office for assistance or Google the information.”

What type of bullshit is that to tell a new affiliate that has no idea how to build their business? Their lack of commitment to new members is the result of people leaving the program because the sponsor abandons them. How would it make you feel? I’m sure you would pissed, wouldn’t you?

Listen, I’m not trying to scorn or shame the behaviors of the top gurus of the industry. I wish you the best of success in the industry. But what I stand against is when people put their trust into a program that leaves them behind.

I stand against a marketer who doesn’t go above and beyond going out of their way to make sure new recruits are getting support. There’s more to this industry than the money you want to make.

“I just got started with company XYZ, but I have no clue what to do to start making money!” Is what I see in Facebook business groups by newbies who are getting started. If you’re getting started for the 1^st time what you need to be focused on is working on your mindset daily.

Your business can’t go to fruition if you don’t shift your thought process. Got to learn how to brand yourself, not just the company you promote. The company should be an afterthought. The product is you. You need to go find a coach and mentor that will fundamentally teach you how to market.

Shifting your mindset and learning how to brand yourself makes all the difference. Don’t make the mistakes most newbies make building your business “winging it”. This will hurt you and your reputation. There’s a saying I heard once that goes “Reputation is like virginity; you can only lose it once.”

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype created by the money-making gurus telling you “How would you like to on cash instantly on autopilot like me so that you have more fun time? Ask me how?” while in their expensive Jaguar or Porshe with a high-tech camera.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet, because getting on the path to your first six or seven figures is going to be a painful experience for you. Remember to focus on why you embarked on this journey in the first place. Whether you want more free time firing a boss. More time with your loved ones.

Or maybe you want to go on expensive trips on your terms or maybe get out of debt you’re currently drowning in. All those accomplishments are fantastic, but is that the only reason you got started? What about a lifestyle of unlimited choices, creating joyful experiences and happy memories?

Don’t concentrate all your focus on the WHAT and the HOW. Focus on the WHY and incorporate your why into everything you do for marketing. Most gurus put a lot of emphasis on reasons like ‘make money’ or ‘having more money and time into my business’. These reasons are just action steps, a means to an end. These aren’t the ultimate outcome for your business.

Don’t be like those fake people that dismiss the learning part of business that attempt to dazzle you with their wisdom that sucks you into their program that drains all of your money learning strategies that don’t work. You want to create longevity, you want to be the go-to guy your audience knows, likes, & trusts.
