Black Friday in the Personal Development Field

I have been in the personal development field for over 30 years. When I started marketing myself as a professional speaker and trainer, I was a distributor with Performax(assessment profiles) and Personal Development Institute(full training packages). Because I didn't have the same opportunities as the majority of my peers, to work long enough to build up some financial security, before going out on my own; I didn't have the funds to invest in putting together a media kit and marketing my business or compete against my competitors in the field. In addition, I didn't have the opportunity to hire a professional speech coach, to help me improve my delivery from the platform.

I worked at my craft with a modicum of success, but not to the potential that I believe I have. Whether it's Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Og Mandino, Brandon Bruchard, Jack Canfield, or Tony Robbins; they all have a message to give that's basically the same, but their personal experiences and stories are different. For many years these professional speakers, not only sold their products from the front of the room, but they also hired salespeople to help them market their products on the phone.During that time, many of their products were packaged through Nightingale Conant, as audio tapes sold through direct mail or front of the room by other professional speakers.

Today, with the Internet everyone who's in business needs a website, and all these professional speakers have to do is set up an affiliate program, where their customers and anyone who's interested in the personal development field, can help them market their products online and earn a commission. For anyone who's in the personal development field who hasn't developed their own products, or don't have the name recognition to sell their own products, can market their products and earn a nice income.

So, if you don't know what you purchase as a Christmas gift, why not give them the gift of personal development!

Black Friday for Entrepreneurs

As an entrepreneur, you should always look for platforms that offer an opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn to build their business and market their business, as well as, have an affiliate program that you can market to other entrepreneurs who want to control their own business.

There are platforms out their where entrepreneurs can build their own website to market their products, but those websites don't offer them the opportunity to:
1. Learn how to build a professionally looking website
2. Opportunity to learn from the experts
3. Opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs
4. Opportunity to learn search engine optimization with keywords to market themselves successfully
5. How to write blogs and articles to promote themselves and their business
6. Learn about branding their business

Wealthy affiliate, not only meets these needs for an entrepreneur, but they also give you the opportunity as an affiliate to earn commission promoting their platform and product to new and experienced entrepreneurs who want more control over their Internet marketing program for their business!
