CHAPTER 1
CONFIGURE YOUR MINDSET FOR SUCCESS

I have studied all my successes in life, and the first natural


principle that is responsible for any advancement especially in
business is the installation of a healthy mentality.

Those days, when I used to see “HOW I MADE 1 MILLION IN


90days”. I would hiss and think to myself “What a taboo. It’s just a
scam”.

I would be like,” These people have come again”, and I always


used to think that they were trying to rip me off of my hard-earned
money.

You wouldn’t blame me,my friend.

You see, at that point in my life, I didn‟t even know anyone that
had 500k.

All my friends were average human beings that prided themselves


with 4- 5 figures at most.

I even used to think that any rich man was doing blood money or
running a cyber scam( Yahoo yahoo).
2
Whenever I remember my ignorant thoughts, I can't help but feel
ashamed deep down.
But you‟ll not blame me.

Why do I keep saying,” don‟t blame me”?

Well, would you blame a little baby for crying out loud in a quiet
place?

The baby clearly doesn’t know anything about life…and that was
how I was.

I had little wisdom about how to make money, manage and


multiply money.

Until one day…

The shift in my money mindset only really started when a friend


introduced me to a network marketing scheme where they used to
have a series of training sessions from week to week.

In that group, I met so many people who had already made


millions, and everyday, different kinds of testimonies rolled out.
In fact, it was like a very normal thing that anyone can do
regardless of your background…

And within a few weeks of joining that group, I slowly began to


believe in my heart that anyone can be rich without getting their
hands dirty.

That was my first mindset shift.

And it opened my brain wider for mindset shift number 2…

” the intense desire to make clean money.”

I decided to find out what these guys were doing that I didn’t know
about. I paid more attention to the training and each time I
implemented it, I saw massive results.

And that was how I scaled my network marketing business.

I decided to apply these principles into other businesses and trust


me, the results have been mind blowing till date.
In this chapter, I’m going to be talking about installing a positive
mindset so you can attain success in every area.

So Jackto, what is Mindset?

Mindset is a set of belief systems that guides the way we think and
act…and it is usually formed by the realities we have been
exposed to.

You can link this definition with my story about how my mentality
shifted from believing it is not possible to make millions legally to
believing it is possible to make millions legally.

4
Your realities also have a strong role in changing your mindset.
And when I talk about realities I mean:

1. THE ENVIRONMENT YOU FIND YOURSELF IN: You are a


direct result of your environment. Imagine you sleep where goats
sleep. Over time, you‟ll begin to smell like a goat and probably act
like a goat too just to adapt into their social environment.

It’s the same thing if you stay around billionaires…the truth is that
over time you’ll grow into being a millionaire then a billionaire.
And that’s why African elders will always say that you should never
raise a child in the market…because they will only learn to be
noisy and rowdy.

It’s time to inspect your physical space because it will directly


influence your mentality and your mentality will trigger your
actions.

I was added to a Whatsapp group where they normally talk about


success and my failure mentality automatically disappeared to
give room for a new mentality.

So if you ask me if this has worked for me, I wouldn’t hesitate to


give you a million instances both academically and business wise.

5
2. THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO: Show me your friend and I will
tell you who you are.

I had one course mate that hated a lecturer with his heart. After
every class, he would express his irritation to me. Over time, I
grew into the person who started seeing reasons to hate that
same lecturer.

Imagine you had friends who love talking about success, do you
know what will happen to you?

You will contact that desire for success too.

Unapologetically vet your association and evict some


personalities when necessary.

These two factors largely affect your mindset.

So if you are that person who wants to make millions from any
business, don't joke with your Association and Environment.

CHAPTER 2

21ST CENTURY ONLINE BUSINESS

When we talk about online business, what do we really mean?

In this chapter, I’ll be telling you about some online businesses


you can do and get massive amounts of money.

Business can simply be defined as the act of buying and selling of


goods and services. Without complicating matters, that’s the true
definition of business.

What is online?
Basically, online is anything that has to do with the involvement of
the internet.

Online business has become the order of the day; a lot of young
people across the world are now taking advantage of the internet
because it‟s where most people spend a huge amount of their
time.

Online business is the act of doing business online; that means


the selling of goods and services online.

7
The offline business and online business are almost similar.

When I started craving for success financially, I decided to search


on google, I typed just like most people will do “How to make
money online”.

I saw all kinds of schemes and businesses, some looked real


while some looked fake.

But after diligent research, I found some reliable online businesses


anyone can do and start making money almost immediately after
dedicating time and energy to learning it. They are:
1. Content marketing
2. Social media marketing
3. E-commerce
4. Online courses instruction
5. Online coaching
6. Affiliate marketing

8
Let me explain these few online businesses:

1. CONTENT MARKETING: This kind of marketing is also called


information marketing because it has to do with giving out
information through text format articles, e-books, audio or even
video.

This book is an example of content marketing because I‟m giving


you information in the form of text( this is an e-book).

I can equally convert this to audio or video and you will still get the
same information.
2. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: This online business is very
similar to offline marketing only that it is done using social media.

Social media marketing is an online business of the 21st century


that is thriving and will continue to thrive as long as people use
the internet. Marketing is the promotion of goods and services for
potential customers to see and take action( buy).

3. ECOMMERCE: This is a goldmine in the 21st century because


you don‟t need a physical outlet to make sales; closing is done

9
online, probably through a sales funnel or a website. One can sell
either physical products or digital products on an E-commerce
store.

4. ONLINE COURSE INSTRUCTOR: In this age, information is


heavily sought after and anyone that can package information and
make it accessible will make a massive impact, build influence and
also make so much money too depending on the offering. Online
course is the packaging of information in audio, video or text
format for people who need that information.

5. ONLINE COACHING: In this age,technology has made it


possible to do many things online, one of them is person-to-
person or people interaction virtually( via the internet).
The online coaching niche is really thriving and people on this train
are really making a lot of money for themselves.

6. AFFILIATE MARKETING: In affiliate marketing, you don’t


necessarily need to have the product; you just sell someone’s
product by driving traffic to their stores using your link. You get a
commission after every sale.

10
This and many more are the online businesses of the 21st
century.

Our focus is on affiliate marketing and in the next chapter, we


shall explain all you need to know about affiliate marketing.
11

CHAPTER 3

21ST CENTURY AFFILIATE MARKETING

One day, I went to the market to get a particular red and blue Nike
Air Jordan that I really loved.But because I couldn't find it, I was
just going from one shop to another like someone that didn’t even
know where he was going.

Traders got tired and stopped calling me to buy from them


because I was considered a wanderer in the market.

A young man finally approached me and spoke my language; he


asked “what kind of Nike shoe are you looking for?”.

In my mind, I thought, “Wow”. This guy had been watching me


walk around and studying my behavior just like the Facebook
algorithm.

But because he already knew I was looking for a Nike, I felt like I
could relate my problems to him which was the difficulty in getting
the particular colour of Nike Air I was looking for.

I was so scared of relating to anyone because they will always


hike their prices but I had to give in.
12
In under a minute, he took me to a shop that had exactly what I
was looking for. I bought it immediately, even though I spent
above my budget( exactly what I was avoiding but life happens like
that sometimes).

As I left the shop, the guy who brought me asked for a tip which I
gave him.

But let’s be honest, I also knew that the shop owner would still give
him a commission from the sale…

Even in my personal shop, I give commission for referring.

So back to our discussion on affiliate marketing…


Affiliate marketing is simply connecting a buyer to the seller or
vice-versa, and when the buyer buys; the connector gets a
commission for doing so.

In 21st century affiliate marketing, your concern is to help other


people sell their products using the internet as a vehicle to drive
traffic to the offer.

A lot of people around the world are using this business model to
build their brands while making money. Personally, I’ve

13
tasted affiliate marketing and the commissions have made me
some good figures.

If you are that person who is interested in making money online,


and you don‟t have enough capital, then you should quickly
consider affiliate marketing.

Find someone who has a product that is needed and useful to a


particular audience, negotiate with the owners or system, find out
what being an affiliate for that company entails, fulfill the criteria
and go all in.

Why I like this business model is because;

● You don‟t have to worry about the stress of creating the


product, whether physical or digital.

● You don‟t need to create the marketing system from scratch,


to an extent a lot would have been done for you; your only job is
to drive traffic using your affiliate link.

● You don‟t need to worry about customer support; the


company will worry about that and even more.
14
● You don‟t need to worry about inventory and stocking of
products.

● You don‟t have to buy the product before you can market.

Affiliate marketing is capital-friendly and highly fruitful unlike other


business models.

In the next chapter, I‟ll be telling you how you can make money
from affiliate marketing.
15

CHAPTER 4

MAKING MONEY WITH AFFILIATE MARKETING

To make money from 21st century Affiliate marketing online is


almost similar to making money with affiliate marketing offline. It is
still the same case of having a product you sell and looking for the
customers who need them and after the sale, you get your
commission.

However, as simple and direct as it sounds, you will require


strategy to approach 21st century affiliate marketing.

There are things to take into consideration before starting out your
affiliate marketing business:

1. Choosing a niche: It’s important to choose a category you


like or are enthusiastic about. When you like something you’ll
be passionate about it.

2. Understand the affiliate program so well: Before you sign


up for any affiliate program, do your due diligence to find out
about the method of payment, currencies, days of payment
and so on.
16
3. Always know your affiliate commission before promoting
a product: Different products offer different commissions,so
be careful to always find out how much is attached to a
particular product before promoting.

4. Affiliate link: When you sign up to an affiliate program, there


is a unique link for any product you wish to promote. Be
careful to copy your link correctly so that you wouldn‟t end
up promoting with someone else’s link. If you do that, you‟ll
get no commission.

5. Create your marketing strategy: Traffic is almost


everything you need to make a sale. Identify where your
potential customers are and run traffic that can enable you to
make sales or collect great leads.

6. Follow up: It takes an average person to see something


more than once to make a purchase, so keep following up
with email messaging or direct messaging.

For you to make money in affiliate marketing, these are the things
to consider.
17
CHAPTER 5

SKILLS REQUIRED FOR AFFILIATE MARKETING

Before you can make so much money on affiliate marketing, you


need to acquire some basic skills that will help you in the course
of your journey as an Affiliate Marketer.

When I was starting out as an affiliate marketer, I knew that for me


to be successful, I needed to learn some basic skills. If I hadn’t
learnt them, I would not have experienced massive success.

Some of the skills that helped me were:

1. Social media marketing: Probably you came across this


book from Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp or YouTube.

It wouldn‟t have been possible for this book to get to you if I did
not know how to drive traffic to this book.
18
2. Copywriting: Copywriting is sales in print; you cannot
effectively sell online with zero knowledge on copywriting.
When you learn this skill and use it well, you’ll persuade
people to buy the product you are promoting.

3. Email marketing: You probably got this book in your email


and you’ll be receiving more emails from me informing you
about new trends in the industry. If I didn’t know how to
market through email, you’dnot be reading this book now.

4. Leadership skills: 21st century affiliate marketing will


require your leadership for you to scale. You should be ready
to educate your audience about what your company is
offering through strategic means like uploaded YouTube
videos, blog posts, social media posts and organized online
seminars. People that do this make more sales in affiliate
marketing because as they educate more people, they build
their brand for people to know, like and trust them.

5. Tech Savviness: Another skill that gives you an edge in the


21st century affiliate marketing is your tech knowledge,
19
especially funnel building. Sometimes you may be required
to build optin pages to collect leads. Instead of always paying
a developer, it’s wiser to learn it if you are really serious about
the long term success of your affiliate marketing business.

Those are the basic skills you need to learn to effectively become
a pro in affiliate marketing.

20
CHAPTER 6

STRATEGIES TO SELL WITH AFFILIATE


MARKETING

Selling the products you promote on affiliate marketing can be


challenging especially when you are a newbie in the industry, but
I’m sure this chapter will help you solve that problem.

First of all, waking up one morning and posting your affiliate link for
people to buy what you are promoting is not really a wise way of
selling in the affiliate marketing business.

In this chapter, I’m going to be showing you wise ways of driving


traffic to your offer and possibly selling.

We’ll start with the whatsapp selling strategy…

1. Whatsapp Selling Strategy: Whatsapp is a widely used


instant messaging app that a lot of people are using to sell
now.

21
Once you master the art of selling on whatsapp, you will
experience massive sales provided you have the right audience.
Four basic ways you can get traffics sell through whatsapp are;

a. Whatsapp status
b. Direct messaging
c. Group meetings
d. Broadcast message

a. Whatsapp status: A lot of people will be able to see your


status as long as you have their numbers saved in your
phone and their number saved in your phone.

So imagine you have 5000 kinds of people‟s numbers saved on


your phone, that means over 3000 will definitely see your status if
not more and to make sales it’s all about driving traffic.

The more people that see your offer, the higher the likelihood of
conversion.

22
b. Direct messaging: This is an effective way to also close a
sale or promote your product. All you need to do is to send a
detailed text of what you are offering. Don‟t make it
voluminous, you can add emojis and also give spaces to
make it easy for people to read your offer to the end and
possibly take action
c. Group meetings: This is the housing of an interested
audience in a whatsapp group that has the ability to
accommodate a maximum number of 512 people. When you
send a message to more than one person, everyone in the
group sees it. It can save you time rather than chatting with
each person one by one.

d. Broadcast message: This is the creation of a list of a certain


type of audience on whatsapp…

For example, you can create a list for everyone you just added
to your contact list and send a personalized message to a
maximum of 256 people with just one click.

All these whatsapp strategies are effective depending on how you


use them.

23
2. Instagram sales strategy: There are two effective ways to sell
on Instagram:

a. Using Insta stories


b. Using Insta bio
a. Using Insta stories: This feature is restricted to people with
10k followers, they have the ability to share links on their
stories. It‟s a great way to drive traffic to offers

b. Insta bio: Anyone can use this feature just by placing a link
on their bio to drive traffic to their offers.

c. Instadirect messaging: Another way to sell your affiliate


product on Instagram is to promote the affiliate link via
people‟s DM. Using your discretion, you should know who
finds your offer appealing; don‟t just send your link to
anyone.

3. YouTube selling strategy: I have personally bought some


product using this method I’ll be telling you now. This strategy
entails giving value through video content on YouTube. You can
use your video to explain your offer then place the links on

24
the description and inform viewers to take advantage of your offer.

4. Sales funnel: This method of selling has made me and so


many people a lot of money and it is proven to be trusted, provided
you know your onions well. This is the act of taking potential
customers on a journey to explain what you are offering. It could
be in the form of a sales page (Text , graphics or video).

5. Facebook ads: Over 1 billion people use Facebook and it‟s a


great tool to drive traffic to your offer directly or to your sales page
just by running a paid advertisement with Facebook.

6. Email Marketing: With this strategy, you can send


personalized email to people but you must first persuade people
to willingly give you their emails. One of the ways to get people's
email is to give them a gift that they can only access through their
email. After which, you can send them personalized messages
about your offer. Let your lead magnet correlate with your offer so
you can get the best set of people to talk to about your products.

25
These are sales strategies that have been tested and trusted, you
can use them to generate massive income with Affiliate marketing.
26

CHAPTER 7

COPYWRITING FOR AFFILIATE MARKETING

Marketing is the heart of affiliate marketing and that is why anyone


who desires success in their affiliate business should learn
copywriting.

Copywriting is written content that convinces the audience to take


action.

Almost everything you write within a business context could be


considered a copy. Words used on Webpages, ads,email
newsletter, promotional materials, business cards, video scripts,
Instagram posts, LinkedIn profiles, YouTube descriptions, words
on the back of a carton of orange juice, flyers passed out at
events houses/offices and the list goes on.

Almost everywhere you come into contact with a business, copy


shows up in one form or another. Without copy, businesses can
hardly communicate anything to customers at all.

27
Copywriting is a combination of creativity and science that helps
us connect and communicate with our customers persuasively.
COPYWRITING BASICS

This section will cover the basics of copywriting, particularly for


online content such as webpage, and it’s easy as most people are
on their smartphone with technology advancements.

Understand that humans do not read online materials in the same


way that they would re-printed material.

It is important to remember that web users are active, not passive.


So if they cannot find a reason for staying on the site, they will
leave it. The attention span of average adults is 7 to 8 seconds.

They will be focused on finding a particular product, service or


piece of information. They may have questions like “what’s in for
me?” “Will I find what I‟m looking for on this page or site?”

28
Focus on your target audience. Remember, you will not be able to
reach out to everyone, so always show that you copy addresses to
your particular niche market.

Support your copy with facts; let the facts speak for themselves. It
is important that you make your descriptions compelling, although
not excessive. Many visitors will leave a site if they feel it is too full
of hype.

Keep your copy simple. You should be able to convey one key
idea effectively in one or two lines of writing.

Is it better to have a short or long copy? There‟s no right or wrong


on the length of a copy.

As long as it is captivating, the audience may read to the end of a


long copy. Your Audience is made up of individuals who have
different preferences. Some may like to read and analyze before
they make a purchase decision. Some like to read the Essentials
and make a fast decision whether to buy or not.

29
COPYWRITING TIPS

To become a good copywriter, you must do the following;

1.Start with research


Research is the key for coming up with profitable ideas and the
right angle for your copy. All the copywriters and advertising
experts know the value of research. David Ogilvy, the father of
advertising, used to always preach the importance of conducting
thorough research before writing a single word of copy.

What do you research on?


● Your target audience

✔Your products

✔Your competition

✔Keyword research

✔Current trend

30
2. Customers: The primary focus of your research should be on
the customers

The point of customer research is to understand the underlying


feelings, behavior, pain points and desire that influences a buying
action.

Customer research helps you identify the elements of your


products that matter most to your best customers. With that
information, you can double down to improve on marketing those
features.

3.Address your audience personally


Customers don‟t care about your company. At least, they don‟t
care about your company until you show that you care about them
first.

4.Make your copy memorable


You must be able to grab a new reader's attention. How do you
make something stick in the mind of your reader? Use words that
connect : Tell stories, use analogies, paint a picture, replace
Jargons with simple language.

31
5.Write simply
Make your message clear and concise so your audience
understands your offer of benefits as quickly as possible.

6.Write at your customer’s stage of awareness

7.Organize your writing with a formula


Using a copywriting formula will allow you to write more effectively.
In the next chapter I’ll be talking about copywriting formulas.

8.What will your readers miss out if they don’t choose you?
People don‟t like the feeling of missing out. Structure your
message in a way that will highlight the consequences of not
getting your product or service.

9.Credibility
Credibility is the trust of your audience on your products or
services. Credibility can include guarantees, testimonials, years of
experience, awards, media rating, media coverage etc

32
10. Trigger emotions
Your audience are human beings with emotions. And humans buy
using emotions and justify their purchase with logic. So it’s a good
idea to incorporate strong emotions like fear, greed, anger,
exclusivity in your copy.

33
CHAPTER 8

COPYWRITING FORMULA

With a copywriting formula, you can write your copy faster and
with greater likelihood of success. Be aware that different
formulas work for different groups, content types, and writing
styles.

Criteria for easy copywriting formula:

1. Easy for you to remember and master

2. Able to help new and experienced copywriters to quickly


produce effective copy

3. Have a successful track record —in some cases, decades


long successful track records.

34
Below are the most common copywriting formulas used:

Copywriting formula 1: AIDA

This is one of the oldest formulae and it is still working effectively.


It has been used in direct mails, televisions and radio, sales
pages, landing pages, blog posts, social media ads, etc

Attention: Shake the reader out of their ordinary lives; Create an


outstanding attention grabber in the middle of other competitors'
messages.

Interest: Give out interesting and fresh information that appeals to


the reader

Desire: Engage their heart so they want what you are offering

Action: Call on them to take the next step

35
Copywriting formula 2: AIDCA

Very similar to the first formula but here there’s an introduction of


a C and it stands for;

Conviction: Create a desire and conviction in your reader to use


your solution.

Copywriting formula 3: The 4Cs

Clear: Understand your audience and goals; make your writing


clearer by using small words, short sentences, header and bullet
points.

Concise: Have information conveyed in the fewest possible


words.

Compelling: Copy must also be interesting enough for your


audience to actually read it. The key is to focus on the reader's
needs. Problems and desires.

Credible: Write with credibility that what you are promising can
definitely happen. Provide customer testimonials to address your
audience's skepticism.

36
Copywriting formula 4: PAS
Dan Kennedy called PAS the most reliable sales formula ever
invented.

Problem: Present the problem your prospect feels

Agitation: Poke at that problem until it springs up a desire for a


solution

Solution: Present your solution to the agitated problem

Copywriting formula 5: Storytelling

These storytelling formulae will be a twist, attention grabbing and


engaging audience formula. It can be written using these three
elements;

Star: The main character of your story

Story: The story itself

Solution: How the star wins in the end

37
Copywriting formula 6: The objection handling
Your audience may be skeptical. Selling is about handling
objections. If your copy can solve these basic objections, you
have a high chance of getting your audience to take action at the
end. Some of their objections may include:

1. I don’t have enough money.


2. I don’t have enough time.
3. It won’t work for me
4. I don’t believe you
5. I don’t need it

These copywriting formulas provide a good guide especially to get


started with copywriting quickly. Once you write regularly, you may
not need to refer to these formulas. Don‟t just read this; Take out
your notebook and start practicing on using the formulas.
