Mastermind Affiliate Program

It’s worth joining a mastermind affiliate program if you’re thinking of being an affiliate marketer. With a mastermind affiliate program, you can learn from others who are further ahead than you. Without a mastermind group, you’re very much on your own as an affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is far from easy and there’s plenty of hurdles which you’ll encounter if you attempt to earn from it. With a mastermind group you can shortcut some of these problems by:

  • Learning from other affiliates who are making the same mistakes as you
  • Learn from mentors and coaches who have been doing affiliate marketing much longer.
  • Ask questions and gain insight to help you progress much more quickly.

Why Choose A Mastermind Affiliate Program?

A mastermind affiliate program gives you support and help on the journey to becoming a digital entrepreneur. Earning online isn’t an easy thing and most affiliates will quit before they even have 1000 email subscribers. Going it alone therefore is more likely to end in your quitting! See affiliate marketing failure rate. With help and support, you can more easily glean what is required for success with an affiliate business and decide whether it is right for you, or not!

A digital business system like that of the SFM is also a huge help. Digital products pay much more than physical products. See affiliate marketing commission rates. With many affiliate products you can promote them through a email marketing system. With a digital product range, you can earn far more than from selling a basic level product because you can earn from multiple products and you’ll have multiple sources of income.

So from a $100 product, for example, you can potentially earn $1 a month per subscriber to your list. With a high ticket product range this number increases to about $5 per subscriber.

A mastermind program can also mean you get the support you need when you’re encountering problems, as you surely will! Coaches and mentors can help you overcome obstacles and approach your online business with the right mindset. See affiliate marketing mindset. Coaches can hold you accountable to your plan/strategy, or simply help you not to quit when things seem like they aren’t going your way!

On your own, these battles are much harder to overcome!

Your Best Chance Of Success As An Affiliate

Affiliate marketing is a performance based business model in which you promote other people’s products online and get paid when you make a sale. No sales equals no payday! Many quit affiliate marketing too easily because they don’t get the traction they want in the early days. But affiliate marketing is a long term thing. It doesn’t happen overnight. Most new affiliates starting out will assume it doesn’t work. But they would be wrong. Thousands of people make a living from affiliate marketing.

It’s just that it takes some time to find your feet and start making sales. First learn how to sell an item online. Once you can do this once, you can do it again and again! It’s a skill which can serve you for a lifetime, so you have to keep an eye on the bigger picture when you’re starting out.

A good analogy to affiliate marketing is to view it like the Chinese Bamboo tree. The Chinese Bamboo tree has a 4-5 year gestation period in which nothing sprouts above the surface of the soil. If you didn’t know what it was, you would probably give up assuming that the plant was dead. But after the 4-5 year gestation period, the Chinese Bamboo suddenly sprouts to 90 feet tall within a matter of 6 weeks!

In James Clear’s book Atomic Habits, he shows us this chart.

This is also a good analogy of the timeline of an affiliate marketer. “The valley of disappointment” is what many would-be affiliates experience when they give up. They work for some time but see no tangible results. But as you persevere through this difficult time, you come out the other side and things can change dramatically.

Without a mentor, it can be very difficult to get through this initial period of disappointment as an affiliate marketer. The work/activity:results line is not linear. Rather 80-90% of what you will do as an affiliate will not work. Only 10-20% of what you do will actually work. Once you have done enough work to see some tangible results, you’ll understand what needs to be done. You can then apply Pareto’s principle (the 80/20 rule), to your online business. See Pareto rule in business.
