For some of us this is our ticket out and a way to bring value to other peoples lives as we spread the 'behind the scene' of an online business in its purest form here at Wealthy Affiliate.

We do know that a great foundation is necessary for long-term online business success and am grateful that Wealthy Affiliate provides that training and beyond to accomplish such an elegant endeavor.

With the conversion rate been 1-3% online, you will need 15,000 people exposed to this opportunity to experience community and growth where passion is transformed to profits.

There are two ways to go about it:

Passive way

This is where we know the mantra of Wealthy Affiliate as 'Valuable Content written consistently' is King.

Also, sharing that valuable content in social media spheres that targets your ideal audience without of course been spammy is a sure way of getting the desired traffic.

Doing Pay Per Click campaigns after you set the budget too, is a passive way to bring people to your offer and the training here will guide you to the best practices.

Lastly, in this passive way of doing things, there's contributing support and commenting on great reads where your audience hang out online without even leaving your links; pure contribution tactic.

Active way

This is where you actively are in charge of how many people get to know about your product, service or Wealthy Affiliate for this matter.

By working the math backward with 15,000 people in a year, (well, it's March now so we have 10 months left in 2014) you need to expose it to 1,500 people each month and 375 people each week and 62.5 that is 63 people each day for six days.

This approach will require that you get to have a database where you can email 63 people each day. Since majority of us like me are new to Affiliate Marketing and online business, we need to start somewhere and collect the emails.

There's a training here on how to breakdown this goal and go about setting a specific amount of time to bring about the results.

Interdependence

The active way depends entirely on the passive way in that, you need to have your content going on consistently and you contributing it socially and participating in forums or hangouts where your audience is found online so that you can back it up.

When someone goes to the link you provided in the email, they should go to a post where you have highlighted the benefits of what you are promoting and not to the sign-up area. This will increase sign-ups I bet.

Help needed

In this training by Mike, he highlights how to go about getting the emails and building a database for you to email.

I got a little confused for sure. Please, if you understand the B.E.G.I.N. technique of setting goals, I will appreciate if you break it down to bite size tips. I've not been able to contact Mike

In the mean time, I will work on creating content.

Thanks so so much for any input
