Just over a year ago, I had no idea what an affiliate was.  The word had never entered my vocabulary. I never thought about it.  One day a friend introduced me to the idea.

 

It began with Ann Sieg’s e-books.  Then within the Renegade system, I could become an affiliate with AWeber, Oprius, Amazon, Site Build It, and on and on.  I was flying by the seat of my pants, following each step, not having a clue what I was doing.

 

Next came Mike Klingler’s Renegade University, another affiliate.  I’ve learned a lot there.  I learned about social marketing, Squidoo, FaceBook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube and more.

 

I learned about branding myself, not my product.  Building lists, Lead Capture Pages, and attraction marketing.   I could go on but I think you get the picture.

 

As I have ventured onto the internet, I have come across multiple lead capture pages. All of these pages wanting my contact info so I can have a web site or an e-book to end all e-books to help me earn money on the internet.

 

The purpose… get my own web site, promote it and build my list so others can do the same thing.  There are thousands on the internet all marketing basically the same thing.  I know you’ve seen them.

 

Write an article, write a blog, write a Squidoo page, distinguish myself as an expert and I would have people streaming to my affiliates and making tons of money. 

 

I’ve seen many people writing about the same things with their own unique spin.

 

Those who have experienced this same path know what I’m talking about.  How many will really make the money promised? 

 

Don’t get me wrong, affiliates do make money and I applaud those who are.

 

There are also people producing great information.  I’ve learned from them and I thank them and appreciate them for sharing.  Not my expertise.

 

So, what would an ideal affiliate look like in my opinion?

 

Here is what my dream affiliate includes.

The value would be worth more than the investment

It would pay to unlimited levels

Earnings would be from $25 to $125 on each new affiliate

There would be a positive impact on the environment with each new affiliate

A consumable product would be included which pays to unlimited levels

The product would be in high demand, one of a kind, backed by multiple patents and thousands of research papers

The product would be in one of the biggest growth industries in the U.S.

The affiliate program would be self-funded

It would be backed by a stable, growing, expanding, over 50 year old company

Both the product and the affiliate program would be backed by multiple patents

The “list” would be buyers

It would include the opportunity to earn yearly expense paid exotic vacations based on performance

On-line 24/7 free training and education

Personal Support

Is there anything out there with all of these components?  Do you know of any?

I do.  After learning what an affiliate was, how they paid and how they worked, the light bulbs came on!

I have an affiliate program which includes all of these things.  It is in my own “backyard.”

A smart move for someone who doesn’t have $20 Million would be to follow this intelligent, successful, entrepreneur businessman.

Having a home based business never was part of my plan.  Being a wife and mother was the most important career I could have.

So when a friend pestered me to the point I could no longer avoid her, I agreed to attend a meeting.  I had already started using one of the products she promoted and I really liked it.

What harm would it be to attend a meeting?

Remembering our experience with bras and girdles, Andy bowed out.  If I wanted to get involved, he said, go but don’t include him.

Long story short, I learned about nutrition, a new business model and I could make money and be at home with my kids.

Sounded good.  Since I was experiencing very low energy (which my Dr. said there was nothing wrong with me),  I decided to try the nutritional products. 

My energy soon returned.  I shared all I knew about this new business with friends and family. 

 Without knowing what I was doing, I soon had a home based business going.

Our business boomed, then tragedy struck.  Our 10 year-old son died in a car accident.  Our world changed.  My business, which was now “our” business, moved to the back burner.

We moved from our family home, then moved again.  Almost 10 years went by without us actively working our business.

But something interesting and amazing kept happening.  We continued to receive residual earnings checks from our “business.”

We had shared our products with so many friends and family who loved them as we did, and they continued to use them.  So had we.

One day Andy asked me why I didn’t go out and get a job to keep me busy.  By this time our youngest son was a senior in high school. 

I thought about it, but the idea of being on someone else’s time schedule, getting up early, going to work in a snow storm, or not having the luxury of being home baking cookies or reading a good book did not appeal to me.

Besides, by bonus check was about the same amount as someone working full time.  Why would I want to go to work?

That is when I realized what a wonderful gift my friend had shared with me so many years before.

The products have kept us healthy, living “green” and making money.  Our little home based business had provided for us during lean times.  It took us on vacations and helped pay the bills.

Now we haven’t been “super stars” in this home based business industry, but we haven’t been slouches either.  Working part-time and no-time, we have made more than most people working full time.

More importantly, we have helped many people have healthier lives,  healthier homes and made many lifetime friends. 

Money cannot compensate for that.
