Affiliate Marketing Success With a Little Help From...

After months of studying, investigation, frustration, highs and lows;
I have found my niche. I am an affiliate marketer. Big deal, right?
Well, it is actually. And I’m going to tell you why. I know what you’re thinking,
it’s the money. Nope. Don’t get me wrong, making a living is what any business is about. For me (if you read my bio) you’ll know that is more than true. In fact, like all of you, money (the necessity of it) is why I began this journey online. Here’s what a thousand hours have taught me. If you want to say “give me the money” – you have to be able to say it to someone. If you are operating in a vacuum, without someone to give you fresh air and light your path, success can be as elusive as catching sunbeams.
The Miracle of the Simple Truth is that I have found a way to keep my sanity and grow my business. I have friends. Others may call them mentors, coaches or a host of things. In the past several months, I have come to think of these amazing professionals as my friends. Why? The definition of a friend in Webster’s Dictionary is “one attached to another by esteem – support – mentor.” Even the dictionary validates my presumption in calling the folks my newest friends.
Here’s the thing. I am going to tell you who they are. No, they do not know I am writing this article. It is quite likely they will never read this. It matters not.
What does matter is that you learn about them. I promise you that they really can and want to make us successful: if you model them; if you do the work; if you are persistent; and; if you do not give up or give in. They can light your path to financial freedom! They have all earned my utmost respect. These are my mentors; my partners in business and I their loyal affiliate.
Here is how my week led me to write this and share it with you:
I had a one-on-one call with Dan Kuschell, founder of Prosperity Based Living. He was, as always both kind and patient. It was late in the evening and, as happens when I speak with him, his voice was cracking with fatigue at the end of a very long day talking to his students. He listened to what I had to say and made four crucial suggestions on how to further improve my business. Believe me when I tell you that I started them immediately at the end of our call. When this extremely successful renowned speaker and consultant makes time for me in his hectic schedule, making suggestions, only a fool would fail to follow through! Not only is he helpful, he actually listens and encourages his protégés to see the very best in their potential.
Next, like so many other times, I fired emails back and forth to Dan’s Director of Coaching. Ryan is at our disposal by phone, fax and email. Without him, even this blog would not have gotten off the ground. He accepts with patience questions from a newbie like myself as if they are not ones he has heard and answered a hundred times before. He is supportive, enthusiastic and this week alone has suffered through my questions while answering me with encouragement – making me feel better able to continue my quest. I am proud to be affiliated with these men and with the Prosperity Based Living Protégé Program.

The next step in my week was a mentoring call with someone through whom I was introduced to Dan and, as luck would have it, was once mentored by him as well! She is the very first person in whose company I became an affiliate. In fact, it was through her organization that I earned my very first affiliate check! Her name is Mary Gersten, the founder of Global Cash Flow Network. Her story about struggle and rebuilding a life for she and her four children was the reason I became interested in affiliate marketing. I understood her adversities and related to her strength. As my friend (remember the definition)she has become one of my personal heroines.
I was privileged to join her on a live call very late in the evening. Even a power outage in my neighbourhood did not dampen my learning. I made notes in the pitch blackness so as not to miss a moment of training! Following her tips to the letter, I called one of her many superb coaches to get some help. Jan (a terrific Level 2 coach) led me through some big issues, put me in touch with the answers I needed and followed up with my progress the following Monday morning. Between the coaches, Daniel (my favourite support guy), the Director of Quality Services, Wade and Director of Support, Melissa, I have gone from zero to becoming a Certified Media Placement Specialist in a few short months! Who knew? Mary knew. In fact, she guaranteed it.
Remember she and Dan are not mystics. They are experts who will guide you but cannot force you to be a success. It’s all about you – about what you do with what they so generously give you. Do the work. Mary gave me direction in my journey to reinvent myself.

Finally, it is the coaching that amazes me. These industry leaders challenge us to learn all of their success secrets by modeling them precisely so that we can be where we want to be and get where we are going. Model them I shall, follow them I will and share them with all of you I am proud to do. In my next blog, I am going to discuss two more such giants who have founded highly successful businesses and from who I have learned so much more than I thought I could.

PS: My signature salutation was truly a direct result of these new friends and their tremendous influence on my business.
