The Most Important Lesson In Affiliate Marketing
A few years ago my sister almost died!
To cut a long story short she was in hospital for what should have been a minor operation which suddenly went very badly wrong. Thankfully she survived but during the surgery she received 18 units of blood. To put that into context it's basically like having your entire body's blood volume replaced twice!
Afterwards I made a pledge that I would return those 18 units of blood (and hopefully a lot more too), so every 4-5 months now I make an appointment to give blood via the local blood transfusion service.
Today I gave my 10th unit so I am now over halfway towards fulfilling my initial pledge. I can never fully repay what the surgeon did for my family by saving my sister but I hope that by giving blood regularly I can help to save others.
Giving Value
I was reminded of the importance of giving value to your customers when I was watching one of Kyle's recent classes. He was talking about the importance of looking after your customers by promoting products that will actually bring tangible benefits to the customer rather than just promoting the product that will give you the highest commission pay-out.
It reminded me of a famous quote about marketing which goes something like this: “You Can Have Everything in Life You Want if You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” I'm pretty sure it was Zig Ziglar that said it.
I continuously see people asking "How can I make money?" or "How soon can I make money". The answer is simply - you can make money by genuinely helping other people.
Who are you going to help today?
All the best,
Dave

Hi Susan
Yes it was a scary time back then but she’s totally fine now thankfully.
Giving blood is an easy way to just give something back 🙂
Hope all is well with you.
Thanks

Great post Dave! Happy to hear that your sister pulled through my friend and giving is what it's all about! :-)

Hi, Dave
I'm glad your sister is ok. Blood donation is a wonderful community service. Keep up the great work! 👍
Just so you know, 1 unit of whole blood = 500 mL, so 18 units would be 9,000 ml. The human body normally contains 5,000 ml of blood, so your statement is approximately correct. 😎
Rock On! 🤘

Hi Frank.
Yes I knew it was not exactly twice the amount which is why i described it as "basically like", but it's not far off.
Donating blood is an easy way to support the health service and help save lives. I keep trying to encourage friends and family to join me .
Keep rocking 🤘

The world needs more people like you, Dave! 👍👍
Maybe we could clone you. Lol 😎
Have a great week ahead!

I don't think my wife would agree with cloning me 🤣. I think she reckons one of me is enough.
Lol, thanks for the kind words though 👍
Hanging in there fighting the nonsensical DL battle with my state, otherwise, all is good, Dave!

Affiliate marketing is a win-win proposition, if you like. Our clients win when we help them find what they want, and we win when we get paid our affiliate commission.
This can only happen when we have a first hand knowledge of our clients' pain points.
What an ordeal! Great to learn your sister survived it all.
Hi Dada
Yes that’s exactly right. Creating those win-win scenarios is what makes a successful online business.
Thanks
