Chapter One
A f f i r m & B e l i e v e
✔ I Can Do It!
✔ I am Capable & Responsible
✔ I Believe in Myself!
✔ If others Can, then I CAN too!
✔ I Love Myself & I choose Growth!
✔ I have Everything Required To
Succeed!
✔ I Am A SUCCESS Story!
Your Mind is the soil on which your seed (result) in anything is planted,
incubated and birthed; the way we think about things and the way we
Perceive things has all the power to make us or break us.
One's mindset mostly takes and reflect on them inform of Low self-
esteem, Fear or Doubts, and unless we work on our Mind, we will be
powerless. It doesn't matter how hard you try, if your Mind isn't
convinced that you will succeed, you will keep Failing.
Everything changed for me when I started taking the above statement
seriously cos that was when I started working on my Mind to always see
Positive only, Think Positive & Focus only on the POSITIVE! And I hope
you start taking it seriously too.
I have studied all my successes in life and the first natural principle
that was responsible for any advancement especially in business is
the installation of a healthy mentality. Positive Mindset is KEY!
In this chapter I‟m going to tell you how to install a positive
mentality so you can attain success in every area.
Imagine you had friends who love talking about success, do you know
what will happen to you? You will contact that feeling of success too.
Unapologetically review 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 place of dwelling.
For your Mind to truly have a shift, you will pay attention to feeding it
with what will make that shift happen; Life Changing Books/ Audio, I
was deeply helped by reading " Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hills,
You are a Badass by Jen Sincero, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert
Kiyosaki, and listening to Apostle Joshua Selman, and Myron Golden's
Talks. I recommend you get these materials and start consuming with
all diligence and seriousness.
Chapter Two
UNDERSTANDING 21ST CENTURY ONLINE BUSINESS
This barrier has probably robbed you from taking up the biggest & greatest
opportunity in 21st century which is the ability to work, earn and build your
dream with the help of your gadget (phone or Laptop) using the internet.
Now! Its right and most especially important that you learn the truth
and use this truth to set your feet matching on the path of easy Wealth.
There is a secret method through which anybody who
understands English, who has a phone, and has connection to
the internet can be banking in thousands and millions from the
comfort of their homes, from any part of the world and in the
middle of their daily normal Jobs.
The thing is that your parent don't know about these, besides their
own parents used their job to train them well and offer them a
Comfortable life, they in their own right, used their job to train you
and your siblings and offer you a Comfortable life, it's rather natural
that they expect you to get a job and use it to train your own children
and offer them a Comfortable life...
looking at our time and space, the world is now a global village that
we can see how someone in another continent is living their life,
thinking of how outrageous outbreak of Pandemics can get every
soul on earth shut indoor for 365days or more, seeing how high cost
of living has become in a deteriorating economy like Nigeria. It's
obvious that maintaining a healthy living in the 21st century is very
hard, and an average parents raising a happy fulfilled Children is no
longer as simple or easy as before.
A job is not a way out! Every single person who is living the life of your
dream is not doing so by just a job, they are probably working as the
CEOs, the Top Salesmen, the Top share holders of the companies
they are working with.
Chapter Three
What is
Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is simply
Wow! this guy has been watching me walk around and he was just
studying my behavior just like Facebook algorithm. He knew I was
looking for a strapped heel, I felt relieved and related my problems
to him which was difficulty in getting a particular colour of the
strapped heel shoe I was looking for. I went ahead to explain to him
that I was scared of relating to anyone initially because they may
give me fake or hike the price.
Under a minute, he took me to a shop that had exactly what I
was looking for, I bought it immediately and thanked him for
helping me to finally achieve what I wanted...
Now this guy is not the onwer of the shop he took me to neither
is he the onwer of the shoe I bought. He is simply an Affiliate
Marketer who connect a buyer (me in this case) to the seller and
the moment I bought, he got a commission from the shop owner
because he is the one that made the salesl happen... Who knows,
the shop owner may not have even sold anything before this guy
brought me.
These are Digital affiliate platforms that has been set down on
automated systems to serve you as an affiliate. Unlike, in the physical
one where you have to go about in the market, find customers,
connect them to the seller and then wait for the seller to pay you...
sometimes it doesn't end well as the seller might owe you or refuse to
pay you as at when agreed.
These affiliate platforms saves you all the stress as everything has been
automated. Just register on any of them, copy your unique affiliate link
on the product market place for the particular product you wish to
sell, send it to your prospects, once they click it and buy, you earn your
commission instantly.
Will it be hard this way? Yes very hard but definitely not
impossible, you will waste time trying to figure out what works
from your series of errors but then eventually after possibly a
long while, you may finally figure things out and be fine or you
may get too frustrated and give up. But at the end you need to
accept the outcome of the choice you made.
So yes, you can definitely start affiliate Marketing for free or for
just a little fee strictly on your own, and still survive. But if you
are someone that truly desire to succeed faster, if you love to
save time and save yourself so much stress or frustrations... then
I advise you definitely start with the option B which is, get a
course and have someone guide you.
Chapter Four
YOU WON'T MAKE ANY SALE UNLESS YOU MAKE
PEACE WITH THESE TRUTHS!
TRUTH NO. 1: The first thing I want you to make Peace with is
that you will never succeed in a business you feel doubts or
shame about. If you are ashemed of working as an affiliate
online, you won't succeed in it. This is particularly true about
selling anything online, if you are more concerned about how
people will see you than how to make that money, the
dominate concern which is "what will people say" will see to it
that you will not see any money from the business.
TRUTH NO. 3: School won't make you rich! Don't quote me wrong,
school is good, infact very important and neccesarily! But if your
reason for going to school is to become rich, then, that's the wrong
place to learn how money works! Go to school to gain Civil
knowledge, to become ethical and refined and if your goal of going
to school is to learn a profession like a doctor, lawyer, pilot,
engineer, thats very good too.
Here are the 3 top skills you must thoroughly learn and understand
to successfully do well as an affiliate Marketer:
The beautiful thing is that, as you are trying to learn and
understand these skills, once you are practicing and making
attempts to implement while under the process, YOU WILL START
MAKING SALES! (This is why affiliate marketing is practically the
easiest business out there; You earn as you Learn).
The best thing is to try connecting with these people first to build your
KLT factor, this is a very crucial part of sales funnels, KLT simply means
KNOW, LIKE and TRUST . One of the biggest mistakes most newbies
make is that once anybody message them, the next thing they are
telling the person is to "come and buy". No! I don't want you to fall under
that category cos you'll be shutting off your chances of selling even
before the real selling begins. For the sale to happen this people must
feel connected to you, and if your content is serving its purpose well, it
should be easy.
You are supposed to first genuinely meet people at the level where they
are, give them room to know you, like you and trust you. Your first sales
mostly will come from your already existing Audience (people who
already know you like your friends, classmates, or neighbors), and reason
is because this people already qualified under your KLT factor check.
Under sale funnel building you also will learn how to generate your
customized link which is what you will use and bring people to your
WhatsApp for closing sales. Sales funnel system is also where running
webinars falls, doing video training etc all this fall under this category
cos you are trying to achieve one thing; help people know you and
understand what you do. Now this is just the traditional way to build
sales funnel.
There is a Sophisticated way to building your sales funnel. This is where you
start hearing and learning things about:
1. Landing page/Thank you page
2. Website
3. Instant form
4. Running Ads
You can decide to either do any of those yourself by learning it as all this are
topics every standard affiliate marketing course will teach you. Now there are
different types of sale funnels systems and I will just highlight a few in this
book.
1. The Lead Magnet Funnel: This is one of the simplest and most used types of
sales funnels. It is also known as the free sample funnel. The concept of this
funnel is to get the prospect into your WhatsApp or email, then offer a freebie
in return. This is like a give and take situation.
The workflow of this funnel is as following:
Lead magnet landing page > Email nurture sequence > Buying your product
This funnel works best when you want to sell a low ticket product.
2. The Webinar Funnel: as the name suggests this funnel is used to get the
prospect to register and attend your webinar. The Webinar Funnel gives you
more time to close potential customers at a higher price point. If you are
going to sell your product/service through online events, this is the type of
funnel to use in your business.
3. The Service Upsell Funnel: This funnel can help you make more money from
almost the same amount of effort. Here’s how: you have convinced your
prospect to buy your main front end offer. The customer has entered in his
card details and made the payment but before sending him to your thank you
page, you send them to a landing page that gives them an opportunity to buy
a higher price product, complimentary to your front end offer.
Now we are Nigerians and we are selling majorly to the Nigeria people.
Usually, when it comes to generating leads Organically, the easiest way to
get people to actually pay attention to you, is for you to have something
that they need which you can offer them for free. Nigerians loves free
things! It could be anything.
I used Facebook to build my list and thats because I was always giving out
quality content & opportunities for them to learn something from me or
recieve something from me basically free, wecall this lead Magnet.
Chapter Six
DON'T JUST LEARN, LEARN TO IMPLEMENT
The biggest way newbie affiliates or even many affiliate marketer
jeopardize their chances at cashing out immediately is that " they usually
refuse to IMPLEMENT". This prompts me to ask you this question; how do
you expect the result to come when you are not carrying out/practicalising
what you are learning?
Example is: Lets say you opened your course and the first part talks about
building a Positive mindset, don't just nod your head and write it down
alone, go look for materials to help you do that. In my own case, I started
reading the "Power of the Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy.
It is for you to imitate what is in the course you are going through and
then craft something similar and use it. Everything your course is talking
about is to give you an insight on what you should start doing but sadly, I
see lots of new affiliate and even older ones continue posting their usual
memes, and unrelated stuffs on their statuses, and other SM handles, and
then come back to specifically complain that it isn't working... if you are in
this shoe or plan to be in this shoe then I hope you realize sooner that you
are killing your chances in a wicked way and totally wasting your Time
and I hope you REPENT.
This secret is the biggest thing that helped me! When I got
registered, apart from aggressively going through my training
course, I was intentionally copying my mentor and others that were
already ahead of me in the business, I remember once I wake up,
and my data is on, the first place I go is the search icon on my status
and type my mentors name, then whatever I see there on his status,
I just copy it, following his tempo, I will simply edit to suit my own
Audience and that's it, I usually post it on my status... Then next
thing is people were messaging me with different reactions.
Now following this route, I was motivated to also learn and patterm
my own content to come out like that of my mentor, at the
beginning many people didn't actually appreciate my new post but
guess what? By day three, I have made a sale, and that sale came
from one of my WhatsApp status viewers, this person kept
disturbing me to show him the way, he was feeling the pressure
coming from my content and was simply reacting to it. I didn't even
have time to explain anything to anybody as I was more focused on
going through my training and needed to understand many things
first. But because I was doing the things I was learning as I was
learning it, I got result directly proportional to the energy I was
giving out.
I was so busy doing what I was learning such that I didn't even know
when this person registered as he was the one that called me to tell
me... and I was wowed, then I checked my mail and saw it was true,
checked my affiliate dashboard and saw 25k sitting pretty there.
Affiliate marketing is such fun and easy business to do when you focus
on what is important; developing yourself, Implementing what you are
learning, Following your mentors instructions and doing all this with
big Positive Mindset.
As I realized that this was working, I then went ahead to start looking
for other top Affiliates and connecting to them especially on twitter, I
also started following the Big People in internet marketing and
imitating what they were doing, I kept doing it, and more sales kept
coming by now, I started becoming good too in creating my own stuffs,
and that's how I am here today, as you can see, I just created a book too.
This is your wake up a call
The thing is that, no matter how smart or clever you may feel you are at
the game of copying people, if you aren't doing it with the intention to
grow, and found your own self, you will destroy your chances of
achieving tangible success cos you will remain a fake, and fake things
don't last no matter how beautiful, shiny or attractive it may look.
Chapter Eight
THIS IS HOW THE FIRST SALE HAPPENS!
You need four things here:
1. A Burning Desire/Positive Mindset
2. A hot selling product
3. A Startegy and A working System
4. Traffic
The moment you have signed up as an affiliate, start feeding and filing
your mind with the right stuffs, this is what will keep your mind at it's
optimal level and keep you in the right energy, you need an optimized
Mind to work Online.
The next thing is studying what is inside your course, in this process you
will learn about the affiliate market place in the platform you are
working under, and the different product listed there. You have to do a
product survey or resesrch to pick the best product to promote. As an
affiliate you can promote any product on your affiliate marketplace, but I
will tell you the hottest product right now that you can go for which are
products on affiliate marketing, Amazon KDP, Freelancing., Relocation,
Ecommerce and many more. I listed it according to the hottest. Then
next is to get your Unique affiliate link for the product you wish to
promote.
Now, you are going to make this sale from people you are meeting on
the street of social media, which can be ticktok, Facebook, Instagram,
twitter, etc. All this people will eventually end up in your WhatsApp
when any sale is about to be closed, so you are supposed to take your
WhatsApp seriously especially your WhatsApp status. by sharing an
engaging/valuable contents that will Nurture these people, it should
motivate, attract, compel and convince your audience to buy what you
sell.
Third part is, you should come up with a strategy. What really worked for
me and also worked for my students was organizing classes, Your first
class being the most Important; I usually tell my new students to choose
any topic they feel will help their audience in any way or teach anything
that their audience will appreciate, it could be on any topic; Flyer
making, Animation, ebook creation, Facebook Ads, Mindset, WhatsApp
Marketing, public speaking, any thing you know that will be helpful to
people, create a good looking flyer and use it to invite people to that
class by sharing to your existing contacts, to your friends, to groups you
belong to etc.
What this will help you do is that it will give you authority fast as people
who participate in your class and really learnt something valuable will
automatically start looking up to you like a coach and not just that, they
will come to like you and possibly trust you.
In this class, Connect what you teach them to the product you plan to
promote, there is always a way to do it. You can add it as part of what you
will be teaching in your webinar, so once you have successfully taught
them the free training you promised, you can go ahead and run the
training on what you are promoting. The thing is that because you have
given them something valuable for free, they would naturally come to
like you, know you better and probably trust you to do business with you.
Then use the powerful strategy of selling offers to compel them. Offers
are what these people will gain when they take action. If you did a good
product research and studied what you promote well, you will be able to
craft compelling offers as that product already has some offers built
around it.
Don't just run that webinar and abandon them like that, selling is
psychological so you need to nurture them more by continuing dropping
valueable stuffs for them targeted at using it to sell your product to them.
Finally, make sure that more people are seeing you every single day!
TRAFFIC is the lifeblood of selling, the higher the number of persons who
knows what you are doing, the higher your chances at making that sale.
All my students that I guided on how to do this made more than one sale
on their first webinar. So you see, even if it is only this chapter that you
take seriously in your affiliate journey, you are going to succeed fast and
that's the truth.
Note: Make sure that all your social media platforms are well optimized;
use a good profile picture, give a bio that helps people know what you do
and don't try to come out as the perfect one. You are a solution provider,
let your Profile make people see you as a human like them who have
something valuable to offer.
