Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this,

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliates conversion rates.

So one thing that has recently come up in a conversation I received from one of my close friends.

And I felt it something a lot of people “think about” and base their whole online journey around.

So it’s today’s “life lesson” for my subscribers. And it does directly relate to everyone who’s reading this because I’ll tell you, until YOU are motivated as person in the RIGHT way, success and a long term business is hard to achieve.

***START CONVERSATION*****

Friend: “Jimmy – How do you do it?”

Me: “Do what?”

Friend: “Motivate yourself? Make lots of money?”

Me: “Friend, that’s your problem right there. You make it about the money and when you make it about ‘the money’ you start to lack motivation quickly when you don’t start earning it quickly. In my niche, we teach those to make money online BUT what many don’t realize is it’s NOT just about the money. You should be looking at the long term picture- your drive and passion of wanting THE big picture.”
