The Right State of Mind
Lets talk about Mindset for a moment.
After 3 years online there is ONE thing that I have learned.
90% of everyone who start a program will never start.
All my own stats shows this. All my research shows this.
Another thing I have learned that you probably heard before is:
80% of Affiliate marketing is Mindset
This means to do affiliate marketing you need a certain Mindset to keep it up over time.
1. So what is this Affiliate marketing Mindset?
2. Why do 90% who sign up to a program online never start?
3. And why do so many who start do not get any results and quit.
Well, Let me try to answer this.
First of all most people online look for quick fixes.
Something that can make them rich overnight or in a very short time.
And when they realize they do not find it they quit
1. The affiliate marketing Mindset
In contrary to what many believe the Affiliate marketing mindset is a longterm one.
You can vision your goal and you have an inner drive to get there.
You know the road to personal success is a Journey.
You do some work today that you do not know if will pay off or not, but you do it anyway.
Even if you fail you keep on going.
You are putting in the right effort and invest in yourself and your business.
People with an affiliate marketing mindset are not afraid of failing because they know they will learn from their failures.
They know they will probably suck from the start and that they will have to learn
what it takes to succeed by practicing and improving their skills.
They know the grass is not greener on the other side.
That it all boils down to ONE simple thing.
Themselves.
2. Why don`t they start ?
90% never start because they self sabotage.
They do not think they can do it.
And they are afraid what others will say
And they do not prioritize it
3. Why do they not get any results?
Most people who sign up for a program online and actually start, struggle to see results fast.
Their expectations or the quick fix syndrome kicks in.
They thought it would be easy
They thought it would be effortless
They thought money would roll in as soon as they put out their affiliate link
And when reality hits them and they do not get any results, they blame the program.
They say: this program does not work. I do not get any results with it.
The truth is .
THEY do not work.
THEY do not believe in their own abilities to figure it all out.
THEY do not put the effort needed into it.
THEY do not invest time in it.
THEY do not possess the right state of mind.
THEY are afraid to go out of their comfortzone.
THEY do not invest in themselves and their business
I know some people will not like to read this.
That is fine. This blogpost is written for you.
But after 3 years online talking to so many people I found this to be the truth.
So if you are feeling like this you can just give up , right?
You think there is no solution for you.
You think Affiliate marketing does not work because you got no results fast.
You do not believe you are able to do it.
Let me tell you a true story before you decide to quit.
Last week I talked to an inspiring man who had beem 10 years online without making any money.
I was shocked to hear that. Most people would probably give up in that time including myself.
Imagine... 10 years without a single commission?
He had moved from program to program in the hope that he would find that magic program that would make him a millionaire.
It was nowhere to be found.
He told me he had self sabotaged his own success for a long time.
He told me that when he actually realized he had to work on himself and put himself into the right state of mind, and he started putting in the work, asking people for help and became bolder and less afraid, he started to see results.
And because he did not give up - Last week he got his first commission Ever.
After 10 years!
Well here is what you can do to get results instead of giving up .
Put yourself into the right Affiliate marketing state of mind.
Become excited!
Start the program you signed up for.
Do not have big expectations to earn anything from the start
Do not expect things to be easy and fall into your lap from the sky.
Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Learn from them.
Do not self sabotage.
Invest in yourself. Learn new skills.
Invest in your business. Time and money.
Belive in your own abilities to figure it all out.
Put in the efforts needed.
Practice and Practice to be consistent.
Do not know where to start?

Hi Hilde
A great post. Thank you!
Actually, world class performers in any subject, when asked, consistently say that between 70% and 90% of their achievements are due to soft skills (mindset) as opposed to the physical actions they take.

Hello, Hilde. Great post. I saw all the get-rich in your first-month scams. I knew that was impossible, and everyone and their brother's aunts, uncles, and neighbors would be doing it, LOL.
I then thought I needed a place to learn before earning that's when I found WA. I was told from the start it would not be easy, and it is not.
I am having a hard time right now over crazy stuff. I try and work hard things work one day, then I think, Ok, I have this part down wrong because the next day doing the same thing I did yesterday won't work at all.
I walk away and take a break. Then I still have trouble when I go back and can't get anything to go my way. I am a positive person. I am a salesman and was raised by a salesman. I know how to create a sale; I need to learn the techy parts.
I think Jay said it best when he said, when you get frustrated and worried, If you can do this, think about what you knew when you came to WA. So I did and was surprised when I thought about it.
You have to crawl before you can walk, right?
I sure do agree. I hope it doesn't take ten years, either. LOL
