Broke affiliates become desperate affiliates. Every flashy opportunity becomes extremely enticing, and they fall prey to scams that offer a quick deposit for little effort.
Genius Timing
The wisdom surrounding a digital lifestyle is genius. 9-to-5 incomes are not scaling as quickly as the cost-of-living. And technology experts are telling us that by 2030, hundreds of millions of jobs are expected to be replaced by artificial intelligence, robots.

Sadly, lack-of-funds are pushing many affiliates back into the 9-to-5 workforce.
What gives?

First
What You Think is your foundation to every outcome in life. If you don’t believe in yourself, it’s going to show-through in your advertising. If you feel desperate, then you lose your attractive appeal in your conversations. If you don’t know your niche market, then heads won’t turn your direction.

Second
Where You Point is your needle in the haystack. This is your niche, and the most crucial aspect to your successful marketing campaigns. The audience that you choose to advertise to will either be perfectly attracted to your authentic brand, or repulsed by your scent of salesmanship. Every niche has their own language. Choose a language that you already know. This gives you the home team advantage. You make the biggest impact on your most familiar turf.

Remember, the value that you bring to your niche market is YOU. The content that you create is threaded with your own personal passion. That is what builds an audience. Your product doesn’t matter nearly as much as your confidence, your passion, and your personal story.
Third
What You Give is the heartbeat to your profit. You have heard about the importance of generating a list and then monetizing that list. Well, if you don’t start right, you’re probably not going to end right. In other words, once your list is in the building process, affiliates are taught to bring incredible value to their list before they try to pitch them into a product funnel. If the value you bring to your list is what keeps their attention and brings out their credit card, then it is the value you initially offer that will attract them in the first place. Don’t make the mistake of becoming pitch happy. Constantly give value to whomever might be watching.
What you give is YOU.
Put others first and get in the habit of giving so much value that your audience reaches out to you first. When meeting new prospects, it is tempting to trade career information. Disclosing too much, too soon, can put up walls of resistance. The more questions that you ask your new social friends, the more curious they become about you. Ask, don’t tell. It works.
Fourth
Who You Follow is a sure-fire way to mastering the art of the digital experts. Most affiliates fly solo. They think that they can do it alone. Don’t kid yourself. If you think that your efficiency measures up to the top earners then consider how much time you spend distracted by other opportunities or swim ![]()
around in facebook without a clear focus. The accountability of a mentor can laser-pin your focus, keeping you from costly distractions and procrastination, and ultimately increase your earnings significantly.
Find a mentor or a group of leaders who have done what you are mastering. Your mentors will save you from the pitfalls that they went through. Time and money are valuable commodities as an affiliate. A little humility in front of a mentor can direct the thousands of advertising dollars that you might have lost into a successful campaign that you can duplicate over and over.
Summary
