good morning to you let's get at it let's get at it what we're talking about today is affiliate
marketing the secret to success so um i've been talking a lot about affiliate marketing with you
guys recently and that is because it is the way to literally make money without spending money
okay uh or if you do spend money it's a very very very nominal small amount of money just for like
website hosting and that sort of thing it's not a big deal at all and so what we're going to talk
about today is the secret to success so whenever i see affiliate marketers out in the world
most of them run ads to the affiliate stuff that they have going on right most of them do that
and uh and that's all fine and good but you're spending money to hopefully fingers crossed make
money and for me that's not really how i like to roll and so uh what we're going to be talking
about is how we organically do it okay so this is not utilizing ads i don't use ads on anything and
i'm not going to tell you to start now right so let's go ahead and make this thing happen
without having to spend money now the very first thing that we need to focus on
is a niche okay and so a niche you guys is um what is the topic what is the type of people
who are you talking to hey michelle and lyn i see you there
who are you talking to and what matters to them so whenever i see affiliate marketers out there
it's kind of just this uh throwing spaghetti at the wall concept and what i'm saying is beginners
beginner affiliate marketers now people with established personal brands know how to roll
they know how to do it which is what i'm going to be teaching you guys that's what i've developed on
my own and what i know how to do and what i'm going to be teaching you okay because i don't
see anybody else doing it and so what the heck let me show you how to do this thing okay but uh
people that are newer at affiliate marketing what you see is you see different social media
posts and then they're like hey buy this thing you're like what uh why would i buy that thing
also why are you talking about this thing why does this thing matter to me all of that you know
it's very much like an ad that hasn't had money put behind it okay we don't want our social media
posts are like who we are you know our extensions of who we are in our personal brand we don't want
our posts to look like ads right why on earth would you want that that will cause people to
stop following you it will cause people to stop trusting you and will absolutely stop
or cause people to stop paying attention to you that's not at all what we want right and so let's
talk about niche a little bit you guys uh it's i i call our niche our bat signal so what i want
you guys to do is and i've had you guys do this exercise a million times but if you're new and you
haven't done this exercise before my suggestion is this grab a piece of paper put it long ways
like landscape long ways make a line draw a line on the paper put a little arrow at the end doesn't
really matter if the arrow is at the end or not but really it signifies the rest of your life
because this line signifies your life up until today right now okay go ahead and draw that line
now what i'm going to have you do is i'm going to have you put little hash marks in that line
the hash marks represent and you only put a hash mark for every one of these things
that it represents of course the hash marks represent different times in your life where
you really needed somebody's help where you were you know your back was against the wall
and you really just could have used somebody to just inner intervene i almost said interfere
kind of the same but in a positive way intervene in your life put their hand down to you
so you could grab it and they could pull you out of whatever the thing is that you were stuck in
what are the different stuck points in your life those are what you're going to hash out
on this timeline of your life what were your stuck points you guys have no idea how valuable this is
okay this is everything so if you're avoiding doing this exercise you're avoiding success let
me just that that's the formula you avoid doing martha's exercise for you you avoid success in
affiliate marketing without ads period okay so do this exercise what are the hash marks and then
what i want you to do is i want you to sort of now not literally but um sort of figuratively you kind
of go up 30 000 feet and you look down at this timeline of your life and you see the different
hash marks and you really think about each one of them and then you pick one you pick one of them to
be able to serve so this is what i call your bat signal these are your people this is your niche
okay so let's not overthink niche we don't need to say well who do i want
to market to well who do i want to who do i want to sell to and blah blah blah
that's you're already approaching it from the wrong energy let's heads up
pick a version of yourself in your life and say this is the version of me that just it fills me up
to be able to serve this person i want to be the hand that intervenes in their life i want to be
the person that pulls them out of where they are now am i saying that you should create coaching
programs courses write books stuff like that maybe eventually yeah i mean i'm always about that
but right now what we're going to focus on is affiliate marketing so you don't have to create
a thing but you do definitely need to know who you're talking to okay once we have this done
go ahead and comment that you have it done we're going to be moving on next week i'm going to have
a challenge within the next a couple of weeks now it's not going to be next week because my calendar
is full next week the following week is when i really think i'm going to be able to do it you
do need to make sure that you're in my group where that challenge is going to happen the challenge
well the group is the link is in the description of this video okay but the challenge itself is
going to be um it's the families creating legacies group by the way i think i have a couple groups in
the description of the video um but the challenge is going to be i'm going to show you how to kick
start your affiliate marketing income stream and some of you guys know how much i make a quarter of
what i make right now i'm i'm increasing it to 50 of what i make i'm getting ready to just go
a quarter of what i make right now is from affiliate marketing so i absolutely
know how to teach you how to do this i started affiliate marketing
years ago before i even had an audience okay so we're talking 2013 that would be around when i
started affiliate marketing how many years ago is that oh my word that's nine years ago
man time flies so nine years now i've been doing affiliate marketing um and have been making money
the entire time and i don't i didn't have an audience to begin with so i'm gonna be showing i
i am the person to show you how to do this i've literally done it okay and then i'll show
you how to be able to even build other income streams around it if you want to right that's
that's completely up to you you can just make a living doing affiliate marketing that's okay too
so uh i want you guys to do this exercise come back in the comments let me know
whenever the exercise is done and you have picked a version of yourself that you are going to serve
and then we will move forward next week also make sure you have this book okay by the time the um
by the time the challenge starts i want you to have this book
and i want you to have started reading it or be in process of reading it this is very very important
in our challenge okay this book is literally when i read it a few months ago i was like okay yeah i
do that and i do that and i do that and i do that so instead of me having to write a book about the
things that i do it's literally already written so just go grab it it's free plus shipping uh
some people have grabbed the audiobook as well i do not blame you for doing that whenever you
go to buy the book it allows you to pick up the audiobook i would do that i did that also okay
