7 Things To Focus On To Help Your Online Business
I had a chance meeting mid week, but then having said that not a lot that happens in this life is down to chance, if we invest energy into anything then things will start happening.
It is one of those times where by I seem to be either picking up folks or dropping folks off at the airport, mid week was the same, I like airports one of my favorite things is watching the folks as they go about their business, by observation you can build pictures, people watching is actually good value and dear I say it an international pass time.
I happened to be in the food court and saw this guy who I had seen online and had also purchased products from.
Internet guy wow you are actually a real person.
Do I don't I ?
Well, I did it, introduced myself sort of feeling like a star struck teenager lol.
Well, it turns out, that they are all just like you and me just normal folks, as a by line just been skiing and now off to the next engagement. I was invited to sit down and have a coffee with him and his traveling companions who were also marketers by the flow of the conversation.
"I remember thinking please don't let me say the wrong thing or embarrass my self. I didn't have to worry and big lesson;"
We all probably know more than we give ourselves credit for.
One of those times when you "fly on the wall it", but I did ask what were the basics as they saw it.
So I thought that I would pass it on it maybe helpful to some of you folks
what do we need to be successful at affiliate marketing?
- You need a product to sell or promote
- You need an audience to promote that offer or product to.
- You need a mechanism to deliver that message to your audience
- You need to offer your audience something of value to build their trust in you, crafting a relationship with them trying to create that balance between giving value and resources and selling and promoting.
- You need to continually look at ways you can develop not only your skills but also the way in which you deliver your message
- You need to continually monitor your results or not as the case may be and look at how you can change things to create the outcomes that you desire.
- If it is going well don't try and reinvent what is working well if things are not going well or the rules of the game are changed look at ways that you can adapt this will ensure your survival.
Well, that was action packed, and that was some food for thought for me any how. You may find it of interest as well, the industry that we are involved in provides so many opportunities to live and create different lifestyles hopefully we are all on that track to success. Pleased as punch to be here at WA definitely a good move and such good value.
Enjoy

Well done on your unplanned meeting and that was nice that they invited to you join them and have coffee and a chat. I have to say that I would have been the same as you, scared in case I made an idiot of myself by saying something that was stupid.
Great useful information from them and certainly food for thought. I am going to star this for later.
Thank you Alexander. xxx
It was a classic for sure Cheryl, the thing as I have written we all know more than we credit ourselves with. One of the take homes was the fact that folks that come to online marketing seem to have a similar mind set.
Some excellent tips and advice I am rejigging the sails, thank you for stopping by.
You are welcome and have fun with your rejigging.
You are so right though as we all learn things through doing the training and things like that so we do all know a lot more than we give ourselves credit for but we sometimes don't notice until we are put in a position where we can use it.
We really should all give ourselves a pat on the back from time to time for what we all do and know. xxx
I agrre100% with you there Cheryl, sometimes it is good to stop and catch your breath and share some time with family and friends or just do something completely different.
Awesome insight. I don't believe in coincidences and agree that rewards follow efforts. Thanks for passing along those nuggets.
Yes, I totally agree, there seems to be a current running through the affiliate marketing industry and there are some tried and true formulas that really work, it is always good to meet new like minded folks. thank you for dropping by Richard all the best.
Those unexpected meetings are always a blessing. It sounds like you weren't disappointed and they gave some really good advice. Thanks for passing it along. Debbie
Hi Debbie pleasantly surprised and I think that it made me aware of something we are involved in a very large industry, at the top end it is legitimate and professional and there are a lot of very passionate folks all striving to help others. That is kind of special, WA in its self, stands tall and we as members should feel proud to be associated.
I really liked that one. Good on you for taking a risk and introducing yourself to a stranger. It all worked out really well. Good on you. Thanks for sharing.
Ther are so many opportunities out there sometimes it is just matter of reaching out, the thing that grabs me is that folks that are in the know are only too happy to share their knowledge and experiences, I think that there is a strong message in that one., thank you for stopping by Glenys.
