Post 91 – My Affiliate Marketing Blog
Something to ponder as we go into a new year.
It’s time to tell you some truth’s about Affiliate Marketing its time to be shared, as not many people talk about the reality behind the business.
The reality of internet marketing and using it for the ability to grow a business can change your life dramatically.
So it’s time to take a stand against anyone that pushes or touts get rich quick garbage schemes.
There is different sectors and different people within the internet marketing space and it needs to be understood, there is no such thing as get rich quick.
When you know what you’re doing and have a proven process and all the right things in place you can make a lot of money relatively quickly? Yes you can.
But there is a time line of things that need to take place. You have to learn and understand enough. Know what’s going on like what is a squeeze page, what is list building, want is traffic generation and how to do it. What’s conversions, what is a sales funnel, what are fiscal products and digital products What is and how do you do email marketing.
There are so many aspects to the online marketing business you can’t just turn up and push a few buttons and become a millionaire, it’s not going to happen.
The reason for being so passionate about this is because I have been down this road of being sold shiny objects for so long. I like everyone else truly believed there was such a thing as getting rich quick. I believed I could buy a piece of software and flood my sites with traffic and flood my bank account with affiliate commissions.
So, the reality of this and I will put it politely it’s all BS it’s not true.
You have to learn what it’s all about. Learn what to do and consistently and relentlessly implement. Then review what’s happening and optimise.
When you can do that and have the right things in place it can be a success and change your life but until that time and you have to except this is a business.
The business being centred around giving value to others in exchange for value back.
That’s why I create these videos and posts and I hope you get some value from them. If so then they are doing what they are supposed to.
Ultimately that’s what it’s all about. Even though we are marketing online, every time a sale or order comes through or a subscriber joins your list. That’s a real person who is opting in or purchasing a product they are expecting an exchange of value to take place as that’s all money is really a token of value.
You cannot get money for nothing.
That’s why you will hear very successful entrepreneurs say that your income is directly relative to the amount of value your giving and serving to your market place and that’s absolutely true.
So the concept of getting rich quick without any real work or valve is nonsense so don’t let anyone tell you different.
To build a business takes work, effort, education and relentless consistent application of what you are doing every single day.
You need to keep focused and when you do that, your life can change Don’t be tricked by false promises.
I do know as it took me 5 years before I found someone to help and put me on the right road to success.
If you are needing help with your business just contact me and I can hopefully give you some valuable advice.
OK bye for now

Well the week started where I left off waiting on FB to come back with something positive but they never.
So decided just to run my new ad and see how it would go.
I had already uploaded the new video onto my FB page so it was already to go and funnily enough I got a notification from FB to boost this post.
Which I took little encouragement from as they had done this before and then unapproved my add.
So just bit the bullet and placed just the one ad to see if it was approved.
After some hours It can back with this ad being approved so I set up 3 more just the same going to different countries again as a split test.
We will see how long this ad runs for.
I also got another notification about the previous ad was still not approved so decided just to delete these as no sense in wasting more time on this.
Unfortunately, my VIP call with Dean didn’t happen as he had had some virus/chest infection. Nothing is going to happen on calls now until after the New Year.
As a Certified Partner not only do we get weekly coaching to help with our business which is over and above my VIP call. There was last week the monthly update that Dean does to let us know of things that are coming up in the near future. I was unable to be there live but caught the recording. Lots of good information
Still trying to get the hang of this new WordPress post setup. Think I preferred the old one as easier to work with. This new setup as a lot more things you have to consider to get the same outcome. Strange really as things should be easier not harder.
I have recorded another new video probably go live with it on Monday.
Merry Christmas to all.

The week started Monday with setting up one ad again after a small bit of editing and just waiting for approval.
Had my weekly VIP call with Dean and I let him know what was going on and where I was at the moment and just wait and see the outcome.
He told me to let him know how things were going later in the week.
So FB took their time but by Tuesday the ad was running and everything looked fine.
So I set up another 3 the same but different countries as a split test to see which ones are doing best.
Well for some unknown reason by Friday all the ads were shut down again as not approved.
This is what I got ( This ad isn’t running because it doesn’t follow our Advertising Policies )
OK on Tuesday but not by Friday and nothing had been changed by me!!
I would not mind but I have had notification from them twice to boost the original post they would not approve. Figure that one out??
So have done some more editing and put in appeals but who know it seem it’s in the lap of the gods.
I have another new video I could run but just wondering if it is worth the bother.
Seriously thinking of booting FB ads into touch and doing some other form of advertising.
Severly pissed off!!
Watch this space.
On top of that it seems WordPress has a new setup for writing these posts that I will need to get the hang of.

I didn’t book my weekly call with Dean this week as not sure what was going on during my time in Dubai so better not to book then not turn up.
I shut down the FB Ad I was running and set up a new one which I had already prepared to save some time.
But had some problems with that as for some reason after waiting quite some time, they didn’t approve it.
I changed some of the headline wording and tried again, they still didn’t approve perhaps there was something on the video they didn’t like, who know?
I appealed the decision and waited for an answer but all I could see was not approved on the ad.
What you get from the ad to their non approval is not very clear so perhaps do another video and try again which will be in the following week.
Low and behold 4 days after my appeal they have approved the new ad, but only thing is I deleted the whole thing as I was a bit pissed off with them and just decided to leave things and enjoy my short break with the family.
Which I did and had a great time through out besides the problems with the FB ads which were soon forgotten.
Only thing is holiday is over and now its back to work……..

Had my weekly VIP call with Dean on Monday and talked about the problems with FB Ads and not really getting anywhere during the previous week. Dean himself also had problems trying to access his ads manager.
I went over the campaigns I was running for Black Friday weekend and appeared to be running fine after taking some time to get everything approved.
Got a couple of opt-ins from the Black Friday Campaign onto my email list.
Tuesday morning shut down the BF campaign and run a different FB Ad everything looking good.
Catching up with a few other things and make changes to my opt-in pages.
Also taking a bit of a break away from work on a short holiday to Dubai with some of he family.
