To have freedom of time and money is pretty precious. Without money, time is spent with worry and uncertainty. But if you’re trapped in a career or job which takes your peace of mind, it can be the same! So even with money problems solved, many people find themselves in the same mental anguish, if they hate their job.
So what’s the answer? How can you have freedom of time and money, without compromising peace of mind? For most the answer is to find something they are passionate about and would do anyway, even if money wasn’t involved.
But the answer also lies in looking at the the way we work – trading time for money. If you’re working in a job which pays you for the hours you work, you’re trading your time for money. A better way of earning money which sets you free is to sell products instead. Anyone can do this with a clever business model called affiliate marketing, even with no products to sell of their own! What’s even better about this way of working is that you can automate the process which can give you your life back and allow you to create more freedom of time and money.
Freedom Of Time And Money – Why Affiliate Marketing?
So why is affiliate marketing the best solution to creating freedom of time and money? Affiliate marketing is one of the simplest business models which anyone can use. By promoting other people’s products and services online, affiliates earn a percentage of whatever they sell. Because this process can be automated, affiliates can effectively earn through automation.
There’s no need for dealing with customers or handling products either with affiliate marketing. Simply refer online sales and earn commissions from the referrals. This very simple business model makes affiliate marketing one of the most popular ways to earn online. However, affiliate marketing isn’t easy. It’s no quick solution to paying the bills every month.
But once you have made your first sale online, you can make many more. Over time and with patience, anyone can build an affiliate business from scratch from anywhere, even with no skills or experience.
This way of earning is much better than the time for money deal which most have accepted as “reality”.
Freedom Of Time And Money: Subscription Products
Subscription products can be sold too by affiliates and this is a major key to long term success with affiliate marketing. If you sell a single product which pays a “one time” commission, you only get paid once. But if you promote a subscription affiliate product which pays recurring commissions, you can get a lifetime income from each sale.
A recurring income which comes in month after month can completely set you free both in terms of time and money. It doesn’t rely on you turning up to a place of work each day and trading your time.
An example of a subscription product is a software product such as Aweber. Aweber is an email autoresponder service used by online business owners. Because they are so useful for businesses, both online and offline, autoresponders become a cornerstone of a businesses operations. This means the business person will maintain their subscription of the service, often for a lifetime! If you have referred the sale, this means you’ll make an income from that referral on a monthly basis for as long as your customer maintains their subscription.
Become An Affiliate
As you can see there’s huge power in the model of selling products and services online. It allows you to detach yourself from the time for money trap!
The only question then is “how do I sell online”?
There’s many ways to sell products and services online as an affiliate marketer. Some affiliates are bloggers (like me) and find customers through creating written content. Others use paid marketing and build huge email lists which they use to promote products and services.
An email list can be built up to have tens of thousands of subscribers. This is hugely valuable when you consider that many of your subscribers can purchase something from you on complete autopilot.
