1.0 Journey To Massive Commissions

First off, I would like to congratulate you for picking up this book! This can only mean one thing, you are ready to act.

You are finally entertaining the idea of earning the extra commission that you are worth. You acknowledged the struggle that you are going through should earn you more than what it is now. You are ready to take the extra miles with your online business.

Above all, you are motivated to take all the necessary actions for your online marketing success. You are ready to take action to upgrade your Internet marketing business.

2.0 How To Get Started

We all know that the concept of affiliate marketing is simple: we are selling products or services for others. And of course, we are doing the marketing campaign for other vendors’ products to be sold to the public. In other words, it gives us the avenue to earn commissions through promoting other peoples or companies’ products.
We all started out by choosing a product we like or rewarding. We then promote it in the most efficient way we can and make a sizable profit for our efforts. But in the end of the day, the most important and truly rewarding part of affiliating is when a sale is made. That’s right folks, our long hard earn commission!

Essentially, it is a performance-based marketing. I’m sure you agree with me on this one; ‘how much you earn as an affiliate to the vendor corresponds to your sales’. If you were to make a lot of sales, then you’ll earn a big amount of commission. If not, however, you won’t earn as much.

That is why we must remember: we will only be commissioned when a sale is made through the link we provide. We will not be commissioned for sales that were made from other links.

But I know what you are thinking, you’ve done all that and yet it’s not enough, isn’t it? You would probably be wondering about the extra commission you can earn that will double, no, triple your commission!

Truth about maximizing your commission is that, it’s not as simple as it sounds, but it’s also not as difficult as you’d think.

3.0 Why Affiliate Marketing?

Through affiliate marketing, you are able to accomplish three things for three different people.

First, you are making yourself feel good for earning a commission. Second, you’re helping a company or other people to gain new customers that they don’t already have. Finally, you are making a new satisfying experience to your customers. They would discover a product from you that can really be helpful and desirable.

Let’s make it clear. Our expenses doing affiliate doesn’t have to be expensive and complicated. In fact, it can be done quickly with a profitable outcome. You don’t need for a big email list to drive traffic to the offer and a huge budget.

So, without having to need those things, what should you have to make extra commissions from affiliate marketing? Personally, I would say a sense of creativity and a good work ethic will take you a long way when you apply them to the proper strategies.

The thing about affiliate is how we don’t have to make our own products for this business to run. Yes, you know that you don’t have to go through the trouble of actually coming up with ideas and the labor of producing something. Instead, you’ll be selling other people’s products.

You are, in short, an online sales agent. Your main task is to make sales but to do so, you have to be creative with your approach to your potentials. That is why on further chapters, I will break down the steps you need, to scout for the potential killer products!

On another note, you don’t have to provide customer support for the products you sell. All enquiries or complaints will be directed to the product’s vendor. The vendor is responsible for its products and customer care. They will bear the brunt and grunts if anything goes wrong.

However, should that happen, your reputation and credibility would be affected too, but not as severe as the vendors’. I’m sure some of us have gone through this experience at some point. So, always keep that in mind.

What’s more, most of us neglect even the very basics of affiliate skills when we first started. So, what are those mistakes you’ve been doing all this while that you are unaware of? These could be the very reason why you can’t seem reach the breakthrough you’ve always wanted for your commission.

The thing that you could’ve been doing unknowingly is not building your own mailing list. This is an exceptional no! Your buyers’ list is the very foundation of your affiliate marketing endeavor. It is the very basic of it all and you should always regard it with the highest importance.

You might think I’m joking but there are some of us who neglect the need to follow-up with their list!

Another folly of a common affiliate marketer is not knowing how to generate traffic at its fullest. You have your own way of doing this, of course, but are you truly maximizing the number of potentials that you should have been generating?

Social Media Marketing Manager

A blueprint for running a successful Social Media Marketing business.

What Social Media Managers Do?

A social media manager simply manages the social media networking and marketing on behalf of individuals and organisations.

Social media is this year's black and the most cutting edge form of marketing and networking. Why? Because it takes us back to basics, back to real time two way communication.

Done well it is about communication to and from a service or product provider and customers. It is about finding out the needs of the customer through direct communication and following trends. This is done through various platforms like blogging and websites, networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, video and podcasting sites, online radio blogging and live streaming sites, customer reviews and book-marking sites. After all, you only have one reputation.

As you can imagine, that takes quite a bit of work, some technical skill, an ability to write well and the discipline to maintain it all. Many businesses do not have the time or are lacking some of the skills to do this well. Some people would argue that unless these platforms are maintained regularly and kept dynamic and fresh that it is better not to do it at all. It is also important that businesses understand web etiquette and best practice when making posts or submitting articles and videos.

A social media manager has a number of roles and can offer a wide range of services.

These can include training individuals and organisations or managing the whole thing.

Management involves:

- helping people to set up a social network package
- explaining the interconnections between the various platforms
- creating a routine and schedule for posting
- helping to streamline existing routines
- making them more efficient or partially or completely managing all of
the social media and networking

A social media manager becomes the front line of customer service and can pick up communications from existing or potential customers and feed them to the appropriate person.

The manager can also keep an eye out for any potentially damaging or incorrect information that is being posted by others. A good manager will gain an excellent understanding of the business and be able to spot opportunities as they arise, plant seeds and connect with the right people. He or she can deliver content, build links, network and translate digital information from the online community.

A good online presence is not about just having a website or ranking well on Google anymore, you need a presence on sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Linked In and You Tube. Your blog is where people will go to make sure you are current and credible but it also floats your site.

Good managers are passionate about social media are there to help their clients to have success online!

Social Media Manager Qualities

1. You understand technology, but you love people. Social media technology is a means to an end, that end generally being to communicate effectively, build trust and foster community.

Social Media Managers are usually outgoing people who understand what social media can do and want to use it to reach out to people — friends, customers, clients, people with similar interests, etc.

2. You possess intellectual and emotional curiousity. Sure, you’re supposed to know stuff — your company’s business, details about products and services, problem resolution procedures, etc. — but your real strength is the desire and ability to look at things from another person’s perspective. Empathy. The best customer reps have it; for a social media manager, it’s imperative.

3. You’re thoughtful, not impulsive or reactive. Being a social media manager is about more than tweeting positive thoughts and virtual brand-building. There’s a lot of pressure. Many organizations aren’t totally sold on social media, measuring its impact (especially short-term) can be difficult, not all your co-workers may be “getting it,” and dealing with crises (or even just haters) can test your patience. If you can handle these types of things, you may be able to handle the stress that comes with being a social media manager.

4. You think strategically (and communicate the strategy). An effective social media manager understands an organization’s social media goals and attempts to measure results against them. Equally important, they know how to convey strategic goals to colleagues.

5. You are a team player, not a soloist. There are some giant egos in the social media business, a lot of self-proclaimed “gurus” who amass a lot of Twitter followers and land numerous speaking engagements. Many would make lousy social media managers because they see themselves as superstars or saviors. A good social media manager freely gives out credit for successes to teammates and accepts blame for failures.

Back Therapy: Tips for Dealing & Living with Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common health problems experienced among people. Eight out of ten people will experience back pain some time in their life. It is estimated, that about thirty-one million people in America suffer from lower back pain. The American Chiropractic Association has stated that low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide and that eighty percent of the population, at some point in their life, will experience back pain.

Back pain can be caused by pretty much anything. The wrong movement or even a normal repeated movement can cause back pain. The most common reasons for back pain are ruptured or bulging disks, arthritis, scoliosis, osteoporosis and strained muscles or ligaments. Poor posture, lifting an object that is too heavy or the wrong way, muscle spasm or an abrupt movement is also common reasons for back pain. Cancer and infection such as shingles can also contribute to back pain.

Whatever the cause, it’s important to seek medical advice to find a way to treat it. Most back pain may go away on its own, but others need proper treatment and/or medicine. It’s crucial to note that some back pain may never go away. The good news is that there are ways to deal and live with this pain so you can live your life in the most comfortable way.
Assess Your Lifestyle

If you have started experiencing back pain, the first thing you want to do is assess yourself and everything around you. There are simple ways you can alleviate some types of back pain just by changing some bad habits. Take note when the back pain occurs, what you are doing when it occurs, and how severe the pain is. Analyzing these patterns can help you determine what areas you can fix and possibly reduce or get rid of pain altogether.
Check Your Posture

Bad posture can cause back pain. If you are experiencing back pain while sitting in a chair it could be due to bad posture. To analyze this, have someone take a picture of you while sitting in a chair. If you notice you are slouched over and not sitting up against the back of the chair with your feet flat to the grown, then your posture is wrong. Chances are, if you are experiencing bad posture while sitting down then your posture is probably incorrect while walking too.

Maintaining correct posture keeps your spine and the muscles surrounding your spine strong; preventing you from experiencing any back pain. Constant slouching or drooping can cause the muscles around your spine to become weak. Weak muscles have a harder time maintaining balance which has a negative impact on your back, resulting in back pain. Improving your posture can easily alleviate some pain with practice and time.

Check Your Lifting Technique

If you experience back pain while or after lifting an object, then you may not be lifting correctly. Picking up objects that are too heavy for you or incorrectly can cause strain in your back and/or cause bulging disks. Make sure when you are lifting objects that your feet are shoulder-width apart and that you bend down at the knees not your waist. Get as close to the object as you can and slowly lift straight up maintaining correct posture; stand straight up with your shoulders back. Never bend down to lift objects or carry large objects over your shoulders. If you find yourself above the object rather than level with it, stop what you are doing and start over. It might seem silly to do this even with smaller objects, but the goal is to get into a good habit to lower your risks.
Don’t Live a Sedentary Lifestyle

If you find that you have constant back pain but are confused because you really don’t do much throughout your day besides sitting around due to driving or working in front of a computer, then the problem could be simple. You are living a sedentary lifestyle and you need to find ways to add more activity in your day. Always sitting or lying down causes back pain for a couple of reasons.

You probably have poor posture, which as stated above, causes your muscles to be weak and it may also add on some extra weight. The extra pounds can weigh on your spine making it harder to have proper posture. If you find this to be true, you can easily fix this habit by adding in a few small activities each day. Don’t do anything too major, too quickly, because the sedentary lifestyle has made your back weak and more acceptable to injury. Start by walking around your house or neighborhood for five to ten minutes every day and then add in more time as you go along. Eventually, you will notice a big change not only in your back but your happiness as well.

These changes might not make all your back pain go away, but it could help reduce it as time goes on. These bad habits are the most common cause of back pain. If you still experience a high amount of back pain visit a doctor.

Potential Medical Interventions

Learning to deal with back pain is a must if you want to live a long and happy life. But, it’s important to first seek medical attention to make sure your back pain can’t be treated or at least reduced as you build better habits. Not only that, back pain can be a sign of a much more serious complication such as cancer. A doctor can help you pinpoint where the pain is coming from and determine if there are any underlying medical issues that may be causing the pain such as inflammation or scoliosis.

Medication

The most common treatment for back pain is medication. This includes pain relievers, narcotic painkillers, muscle relaxers and steroids. Painkillers and muscle relaxers are very controversial because they are known to be habit forming. If you find that they help you continue your day relatively pain free, and that you are using them safely, then nothing is wrong with taking them. Just take caution and understand the side effects.

Physical Therapy

If you are experiencing severe back pain, then physical therapy is a good potential treatment. It is used to strengthen those areas of your body that are weak or can’t move around very well. A physical therapist will use heat, cold, water or electrical stimulation to reduce any swelling or pain you may have, and then teach you an exercise program to rebuild your strength.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractors are trained medical professionals that work directly with injuries related to the spine. Back pain is treated by manually adjusting or manipulating the spine using special methods and equipment. These adjustments help reduce pain by restoring the functionality of the spine. Do not try cracking your back at home, go to a professional who has a good reputation as an adjustment done by someone who has no idea what they’re doing could be very dangerous.

Surgery

When no other treatments have successfully relieved your back pain, then surgery is an option. Just like the above treatments, it may or may not help. This is because doctors are not able to predict one hundred percent if it will work or not. Spinal fusion is the most popular type of back surgery. During a spinal fusion the surgeon will fuse together parts of the vertebrae to reduce stretching of a nerve possibly responsible for pain. As with any surgery, there are major risks that could be life threatening and recovery may take weeks and require a lot of missed work.
Proper Footwear

Back pain can also be associated with the shoes you wear. You may even be experiencing unevenness from your legs. A doctor can easily measure each of your legs to determine if this is the cause. If so, you can help with this issue by wearing special shoes with inserts that correct the problem.

Heating Pads or Ice Packs

Heating pads can be used to reduce back pain because it is believed that it warms and relaxes the muscles surrounding the spine. Ice packs can reduce back pain too because it reduces swelling and inflammation around the spine. In fact, if you have nerve pain, such as a pinched sciatica nerve, then ice is better than heat to help you get relief. Tip: Use small paper cups to freeze water, and then peel back the paper to reveal the ice to rub on the back.

Exercise and Diet Always Helps

Living with continuous back pain can really put a drain on your attitude and overall health. It’s not easy and takes a lot of work to even get out of bed. To prevent your days from becoming harder you must take notice and make an effort to improve your overall health. Proper diet and exercise will increase your happiness and even reduce or help manage your back pain. When it comes to exercise you should first contact a medical professional for advice. Certain activities can cause more harm than good.

Visualize Yourself As You Want To Be

Instead of worrying about what people think about you, how about you start looking at yourself the way you want to be looked at? Don’t visualize yourself as manifestations of your fears and self-consciousness; picture yourself as you would want people to picture you. Forget about your shortcomings and losses and just look at yourself as a winner. You’re there; you’re alive and healthy, so why sell yourself short? Just look in the mirror for a good 10 seconds and repeat to yourself the following: “I am beautiful; I am the best version of me, I am who I am and that’s perfect”.

This process will take some time, but the more you say it the more you start believing it yourself. You might think this is pretty useless at the time, but we can assure you that it’s not. The more highly you think of yourself the more confident you’ll become and being confident can completely change everyone’s opinion on you as a person. Although technically nothing changes physically, people will immediately start noticing the difference and commend you for it.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

eGwedtetifndgsfoduftsdoffsydodufrscdofsmdffosrdt zone is especially important since you’re basically forcing yourself to pull through uncomfortable moments just for the sake of learning how to deal with new surroundings. This is quite a hard step to take, but it is worth the hassle. So, for this step we suggest that you do something different today, something that you’ve never done before. Have you ever woken up at 6 AM and just went for a jogging session? No? Maybe it’s time you start. Have you ever tried going to a nightclub and just dancing all night long? Why not start now?

Regardless of what it is, you need to make sure that you start bursting out of your bubble and interact with more strangers. Put yourself in awkward situations and force yourself to break through. This, as previously mentioned, is quite difficult since you have to make sure that you do it regardless of how unsettling and scary it may be. Even if it’s something as silly as saying hello to your neighbor in the morning, make sure that you do that with a smile on your face because you’ve earned it. The more awkward the situation is the better because you’re eventually going to evolve and become a better version of yourself in no time.

Take The 100 Days Of Rejection Challenge

Now this is a very interesting concept because it implies sabotaging yourself to the point where you can’t feel the pain of rejection anymore. Jia Jiang has become world famous for creating this interesting social experiment. His idea was as follows: Make incredibly unreasonable requests to people all around you for 100 days straight. After you’ve gotten rejected that many times you should be able to handle rejection pretty easily. Being able to take rejection without actually getting hurt actually empowers you and your self-confidence greatly.

Although it does sound silly at first, this social experiment has proven to be quite effective on the long run. Jia Jiang’s experience for example has showed him that without the fear of being rejected he can do so much more now. This is definitely one of the most effective ways to get out of your protective shell, but it is also one of the most extreme ones. A lot of people will not be able to do this for so long, but even only doing this for a couple of days has shown to make a difference. Just remember that although this is extremely hard to accomplish, it also does have a very high rate of success. So, if you’re lacking in the self-confidence category then this is a must for you.

9 l 10 Things You Can Do to Boost Your Self-Confidence

Helping someone is definitely a way to forget about your own problems because it forces you to ignore your problems at the moment and concentrate more on what’s happening around you. If you’re good at something why not share the knowledge and help someone out? It’s a great confidence boost and it puts things into a whole new perspective. It can even help you become more appreciative of what you currently have. Now, we’re not saying that you should just seek out people in need to think of yourself as their superior. What we’re saying is that you should purposely teach, mentor and train those around you to the point where you no longer think about your shortcomings but instead think of how much progress those people have made thanks to you. Think less about yourself and more about the impact you’ve made so far on everyone else.

11 l 10 Things You Can Do to Boost Your Self-Confidence

This is definitely a rough step to take, but the evidence is clear, it helps a lot. First of all you need to identify your flaws, but instead of letting them dwell and hurt you all you need to do is try to find ways to fix them and make yourself better. This is pretty hard at first, but once you get the gist of it you should have no problem with becoming the best version of yourself. Maintain your hygiene, eat healthier food, and make sure that you don’t waste a lot of time doing nothing. It may sound silly and redundant at first but the best way to fix your problems is to face them head on and unless you want to have them ruin your self-confidence you need to make sure that you no longer give them the power to hurt you.

It’s a simple equation at that point. You – Flaws = Confident.

13 l 10 Things You Can Do to Boost Your Self-Confidence

One of the main problems that most people with low self-confidence have is the fact that they consider everyone around them as their superiors. They think of themselves as inferior which really shows in their behavior. In order to fix this problem all that you need to do is see everyone as equal around you. Nobody’s better than anyone else, regardless of their flaws. The moment you start to see everyone as the best version of themselves you’ll start seeing yourself that way too. You don’t need to waste all that time thinking that life just sort of handed everyone a magical superiority potion and realize the fact that at the end of the day everyone has flaws. The main reason as to why these people don’t have the low self-esteem you do is because they tackle it the way we’ve been telling you to tackle it. So, remove the idea from your head that people around you are better than you are.

Kickass Offline Profits

Let’s get right into with this report. Everyone knows that there is a TON of money to be made in the offline niche. I am also going to assume that is why you purchased this report.

The only way to get offline clients and get them paying you a ton of money up front and a monthly fee is to have them know that you exist!

If they don’t know who you are and don’t know that you even exist AND don’t know that you can help their business there is absolutely 0 chance that they will ever cut you a check. Can we agree on that much?

There are a ton of ways to get in front of business owners. I am sure that you have read all sorts of reports about them:

1. Cold calling. Who really wants to do that?

2. Emailing. Can-Spam compliant ways to do this are few and far between.

3. Networking. This can be a great way to get in front of the business owners in your local area. It requires you to go out and actually talk to people.

4. Asking family and friends. This isn’t some sort of MLM we are starting here!

I am sure that you can add a few more to that list if you have bought a good amount of courses on online marketing. This report isn’t going to debate the merits of any of these methods. They all work if you are willing to put the time and effort into them.

The last method I forgot to mention is buying domains, getting them ranked and then calling business owners. This requires both cold calling and purchasing domains that might sit in your account forever with nothing ever coming of them.

The reason I listed the last method is that we are going to be doing a version of that which won’t cost you the price of a domain name every time you want to target a different niche. You can target city dentist, lawyer and accountant without having to buy a domain name for each one.

We are going to be leveraging videos and Youtube to get in front of our prospective clients and we are going to force them to notice us!

The twist I put on making sure that THEY NOTICE YOUR VIDEO is 1 of the most clever marketing tactics that I have ever come up with. It is so damn cheap I can’t believe it.

1st thing 1st is that we need something that will cause business owners to pick up the phone and call you. For that to happen you will need some sort of web property.

The video that we are going to be uploading to YouTube will be a quick 1-2 minute video that will sell your services to the prospective business owner. Don’t worry, I will be providing you the script and Power Point template for you to use.

The thing to remember here is that Youtube can’t read the content of the videos. (at least I don’t think they can just yet) That means that the only thing that they have to go on is the description and everything that you put on it when you upload the video.

That means that you can rank these videos for money keywords that the business owners would want their website ranking for. Since the video will be an advertisement for your business you will be proving to them that you can get the job done as far as getting traffic and at the same time be right in their face with your message. I will cover how to make sure that they notice your video later on in the report.

Uploading to YouTube

This is the only part of the process that you have any control over the “On page SEO” since Youtube will only allow you to have certain specs on your video.

The 1st thing that you need to do is makes sure that your video is named the exact term that you are going after. For this example I am going to be using “Houston Dentist”.

The exact title of the video I am going to be talking about would be:

Houston Dentist | Houston Tx Dentist | Dentis Houston Tx Next thing that we need to focus on is the Description. In the description the 1st thing that you want to add is your offline consulting website. If you don’t have a website you will want to add an email to the description. The video that we are going to be adding to youtube will have the call to action at the end of it.

If you don’t have a website set up for you consulting practice don’t worry because it isn’t necessary. I do suggest that once you have made a sale or 2 that you invest in at least a 3-5 page static site so that you have a place to send potential clients to show them your portfolio and other things. But to get started it isn’t necessary.
