1USE YOUR MOTIVATION

If you are like most businessmen and women of today, your motivation seems to have its highs and lows as your focus moves from one business project to the next. There is no doubt that you are ultimately interested in business, but many find it difficult to stay focused on a single business interest and fail to stick with one activity for any length of time. This is primarily due to the fact that an individual's patience tends to have its ups and downs, and interests change almost daily.

Similarly, others find themselves struggling through the same tasks repeatedly watching the clock, praying quitting time comes quickly. Now, if you are in a good mood, you may find some tasks just stimulating enough to make them enjoyable, however, the occurrence is rare. When your tasks do not match your moods, it can be difficult to make it through the workday.

When you run your own home business, you have more freedom than you would ever have working for an outside employer. The biggest benefit is that you can work on whatever you want, whenever you want. Your days are random, changing with your mood, but you still manage to get things done.

The key is to use your motivation and go where it takes you. For example, you turn on your computer Monday morning and find out that a major client is looking for a new slogan for their campaign. All of a sudden, ideas begin to come out of nowhere, as you are motivated to work on this project. Whereas that client whom you have submitted work to repeatedly, only to have it sent back because they change their mind, does not motivate you quite so much. You can come back to that one when you have ideas that are more productive; no sense in wasting time that you could be using to work on more interesting projects for the time being.

Make no mistake, if you want a niche site or have access to niche traffic, ClickBank is a good source of great selling books, software or other digital products that can instantly be downloaded.

ClickBank, throughout the years, has built a solid reputation as an affiliate marketing platform. It has a very robust tracking system. It also has a wide range of products. This is its biggest attraction.

While there are specialized affiliate marketing programs like MarketHealth, if you are looking for an affiliate program that offers digital products across a very wide range of niches, you can't go wrong with ClickBank. It is a tried and proven platform that's been used by thousands upon thousands of affiliates throughout the years.
This book teaches you how to market ClickBank products the right way. I'm not going to teach you basic affiliate marketing, nor am I going to tell you how ClickBank works. Instead, I'm going to teach you how to market affiliate products from ClickBank the right way.

Believe it or not, most ClickBank affiliates struggle. They really do. In many cases, they cut their teeth on ClickBank before achieving success with other programs.
The reason too many people struggle with ClickBank is because they do not know how to market products the right way. While the fact that most ClickBank affiliates struggle is unavoidable, this book teaches you NOT to be one of them.

Chapter 1

Your ClickBank Success Depends on the Niche You Choose

If you want to succeed with affiliate marketing, you must first build your business (and it is a business – it is not a hobby!), you have to build it on the right niche. A niche, of course, relates to the category of topics or problems that the products you are promoting solve. That's what a niche is.

Unfortunately, failed marketers choose niches the wrong way. First, they go for niches based on a hunch. They have a "gut feel" that a niche is "hot" or "awesome."
This is a serious problem because even if you think something is great, it doesn't necessarily mean that your target audience members will share your impression. There might be a big disconnect between what you think about a product and your intended audiences.

Failed marketers also choose niches based on popularity. When you go on ClickBank, you can search for existing products based on keyword relevance as well as gravity. Gravity measures how fast a particular product is selling.

Too many ClickBank affiliates select solely based on gravity. This is a serious statistical mistake. It really is.

Why? Let's say you have ten affiliates all promoting the same product. Nine of them suck, but the tenth affiliate marketer is selling this product all day, every day. Due to the huge amount of sales generated by that one affiliate, the gravity score for that product is going to look distorted.

If you're just going to go with how that fast that product is selling, you may be given the impression that you're looking at a slam dunk. Unfortunately, you find out in the worst way

possible when you start selling that product that you're actually like the nine other affiliates who suck at selling that product. Do you see how this works?
You can't just go based on popularity. You have to look at the big picture. You have to consider other factors.

Finally, failed ClickBank marketers struggle because they simply copied somebody else's model. Don't get me wrong, if you know what you're doing, copying somebody's success can lead to your own success. I have no problems with copying.

What I do have problems with is when you copy blindly. Unfortunately, this is precisely what these struggling or failed ClickBank marketers do.

How Winning ClickBank Marketers Choose Niches

Now that you have a clear understanding of how failed marketers choose ClickBank niches, let me tell you how successful ClickBank marketers play the game. First, they find traffic. This is very important. You must determine whether a niche has demand or not.

This is the first question you need to ask yourself: Is there an existing demand for this type of product? Put in another way, do the problems that these products solve get enough interest on the internet? Are people willing to buy solutions to these problems?

Next, successful ClickBank marketers figure out how other existing marketers market that product. They don't start from scratch. They don't trust their gut instincts. They don't follow their hunches. Instead, they look at what already works. They look for objective proof that the promotion model set by a competitor succeeds at some level or another.

Third, successful ClickBank marketers create a value-driven marketing platform to promote ClickBank products. They don't just post content, they don't just blast out links, they create an integrated system that markets many different ClickBank products over time.

Usually, they use a mailing list to do this. They attract people based on content, get people to sign up to their mailing list, and then they send useful information alternating with promotional offers. Eventually, the list pays for itself and much more.

Finally, successful ClickBank affiliates use a 3-layer conversion system. This is a highly effective content marketing system that markets to people in a way that doesn't offend them or turn them off.

I'll describe this in more detail in the next chapter. What's important is that you understand that you're going to have to use high quality content to deliver value to the lives of people you are trying to market to.

Introduction

We go through life doing our best to reach our dreams and our goals. We think that once we’ve achieved success, we’ll finally be happy and at peace with the world. This may be true. However, the simple fact is that not everyone’s going to end up successful. Only a small minority will reach the pinnacle of wealth and power. Most of us are going to get stuck living mediocre lives.

So, the question is, does that mean only a small percentage of people are going to live happy lives? Are the rich, powerful and successful the only ones with the right to be happy?

The answer is, fortunately, no. You need neither money nor power to have a happy and fulfilling life. After all, happiness is a state of mind.

You can have all the money in the world and still be unhappy. On the other side of the coin, you can have no worldly possessions but still live a very happy life.

In this in-depth guide on happiness, you’re going to learn that your happiness isn’t dependent on money, career, or status in life. It starts with you.

Chapter 1: The Road To Happiness

“The most simple things can bring the most happiness.” -Izabella Scorupco We all have different definitions of happiness. What might make you happy may not be a source of happiness for other people. What others call their source of joy and fulfillment, may be a source of disdain for you.

For instance, many may say their happiness comes from their families and their good health. For others, it might be their jobs and their careers. For some, it’s their wealth and their social standing in the community. For more than a few people, tasty food and drinks light them up like no other. And the list goes on.

With that said, researchers have long debated on a single definition of happiness. This is because there are far too many factors that affect and contribute to a person's happiness. The consensus, however, is that “happiness is the state of being happy.”

I know this definition still seems a bit vague, but the point is that happiness is a mental state that reflects the range of emotions you encounter on a daily basis. It defines how you view your life, that is, whether you’re satisfied or unsatisfied with your quality of life. If you’re dissatisfied, then obviously, it means you’re not happy. However, if you are, then good for you!

Now the thing is, just because someone’s happy doesn’t mean they’re going to be immune to negative emotions. Nothing can be further from the truth. Happy people still encounter trials and challenges, but they deal with these differently than unhappy people would. This is what sets them apart from the rest of the population.

Happy people aren’t deterred easily. They’re less susceptible to negative emotions. They don’t allow others to walk all over them. Their happiness is contagious, and people naturally gravitate towards them. You’d know a genuinely happy person when you meet them. They can literally light up a room just by being in it.

No matter what your personal definition of happiness is, this simple truth remains: we can all use some more happiness in our lives. The world will be a much better place to live in if everyone on this planet radiates happiness.

Chapter 2: Figure Out Why You’re Unhappy

“Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.” - Don Herold

When you’re constantly feeling the blues and you can’t remember the last time you’ve felt happy and free, then you need to figure out why as soon as possible. Getting stuck in an unhappy state is obviously not ideal for any sane person as unhappiness can quickly spiral into depression. Hopefully, it isn’t too late. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to figure out what’s causing your unhappiness.

Are you doing what you want to be doing?

Ask yourself this very important question. If you answer “no,” then what are you doing about it? Are you taking any steps towards the job or career you want? Or, do you feel like you’re trapped in a day job you don’t particularly like, but you stay in it because it pays the bills?

For many people, this is a common dilemma. They know they’re not happy with their current jobs, but they stay in it year in and year out. They may not like it, but they feel like they have no other choice. Over a period of time, their day jobs become their comfort zone. They become afraid of pursuing their passions. If you’re one of them, then you need to figure out how you can free yourself to pursue your interests and your passions in life.

In the beginning, you probably didn’t have a lot of say in the matter. Your parents probably didn’t support your dream to become a musician or a professional athlete or an artist. They’ve probably heard horror stories of people who pursued their passions and ended up hungry and homeless. Since you’re too afraid to disobey your parents, you do their bidding and work at a job you dislike.

If this story sounds familiar, or if you’re still trapped in this position, then it’s time to do something about it. Can you not find a way to pursue your passion? What steps are you taking to free yourself of this trap? Your answers will hopefully help you see the light, so you can finally start pursuing the career that will make you happy. Are your thoughts making you unhappy?

You have a say about what goes on in your mind, that is, you have a choice about the kind of thoughts you allow to run through your head. You can choose to think positively, or you can choose the opposite. If you choose the latter, then obviously, it’s going to make you unhappy.

Of course, you can easily tell yourself to stop thinking negative thoughts. But this is easier said than done. We can bump our heads all we want, and the negative thoughts will still continue in the background. This is literally why some people go crazy. They hear voices, and they can’t stop listening to it no matter what they do.

Visualization plays a vital role in overcoming negative thoughts. But it’s also important to be self-aware and to pay attention to your thoughts.

Here’s a trick you can try right now: Every time you catch yourself thinking negatively, tell yourself to stop. Take a deep breath and imagine your whole body’s coated in oil and the negativity’s sliding off of you. With the negativity banished from your mind, you can then let your positive thoughts take over.

Are you aiming for perfection?

There are lots of things you can be aiming for – perfection isn’t one of them. Why? Because when you set perfection as your ultimate goal, you’re inevitably setting yourself up for failure. Not just any failure, but a catastrophic one at that, especially if you give it your all.

Instead of perfection, aim for something more realistic, like excellence, for instance. It’s still higher up on the achievement scale, but at least, it’s more attainable. Not a single one of us is perfect, so why aim for perfection?

Perfection is, to put it bluntly, overrated. When you aim for perfection, you set a bar so high that when you make a single, tiny mistake, it can cause everything you’ve worked so hard for to crumble.

When you aim for excellence, however, you give yourself a fighting chance to succeed. You’re not going to be scared to go out there and make a fool of yourself because you know your chances of making it are good. You use your mistakes and your failures as learning experiences.

And the other benefit of aiming for excellence? You’ve always got some more room to grow! You can be the best performer at work, in school, or your sport, and still have the opportunity to do an even better job next time.

Once you’ve figured out why you’re unhappy, you’ll be able to move forward and finally be on the path to creating happiness in your life.
