Step # 1 

After attending Ross Goldberg’s Master’s Seminar and hearing Anik Signal story of success in affiliate marketing, I swore that I would start NOW to try and learn this business. I decided to start promoting Six Figure Yearly affiliate program. This was my second choice as first signed up for The Rich Jerk.

I’m going to record my thoughts as I go along to promote this as I’m plan on writing a step-by-step book when I finish.

Fear

The first emotion that went through my head was fear. I kept procrastinate with getting started and did everything around going to ClickBank to pick out a program.

Step # 2

The second thing I did was sign up for Anthony Blake’s forum that Anik Singal said he learned a lot about affiliate marketing from. It’s funny, I did try finding Anik’s name and was unable to find anything related to him in the forum. I suppose Anik got so popular that Anthony had to delete them all. I’ll give Anik the benefit of the doubt that he’s telling the truth.

Step # 3

I downloaded a PDF file recommended by Anthony Blake called “Clickbank PayDay.” After skimming through the report, I found it not to be useful for my situation. It’s more for publishers who have electronic products to sell.

Step # 4

I came up with another idea. After viewing the report, I decided that I would look for other Clickbank Free Reports on the Internet. I found one, “The ClickBank Case Study.”

Step # 5

I wanted to research some other forums that were associated with learning ClickBank. I signed up for ClickBank Success Forums. I read a few of the posts. The one that interested me was using classified post for promoting ClickBank products.

Step # 6

I signed up for USFreeAds. I started creating an ad and found out I couldn’t post a link or put an email address in without upgrading to the premium services that include being able to submit your url.

Step # 7

After thinking of what to do next I Googled Six Figure Yearly and found some feedback on the WAHM.com forum. It seems from the feedback from others that have purchased the Six Figure Yearly program that is no more than regirgitated information on using ClickBank to sell products to make six-figures. Can’t anyone come up with some orginial products? My conclusion, dump the idea and go back to the drawing board. If the landing page has people questioning it right off the start, who will chance spending $69.00?

I was finally able to finish the second principle in Maria Nemeth’s book, “The Energy of Money.” This chapter was a little bit challenging for me as I had to faces some truths about myself. As Maria puts it in her book, “The only thing that keeps us from wanting to know who are is the fear of who we might be.”

The focus of this chapter was understanding “Your Standards of Integrity.” The core of who you are. Your pure self. I can remember a time when I was trusting, loving, and had no bitterness about people or life. I suppose that is what forty years of living will do to an old chap.

Nemeth introduces the concept of “Coming Full Circle with Integrity.” Picture a circle that has a “gap” that leaves it incomplete. The gap is suppose to represent what is missing in the completeness of your true self. When I focused on that gap, the one dominating thought that kept “popping up” was love. At first, I thought, “What does this have to do with my relationship with money?” The answer came as quickly as the question did; Everything. My relationships with my boss, my co-workers, and the customers I server all reflect on my ability to have money flow into my life. And right now, my future isn’t looking to good with my employer as my “love” hasn’t been present there with any of them.
