Types of Entrepreneurs in Affiliate Marketing




5 Types of Entrepreneurs. Some Succeed, Some Fail.

I get asked this all the time. What is the "success rate" of affiliate marketing? This is not exactly a "one size fits all" answer, because there are way too many personal characteristics and traits that will impact your success. Also, if you view entrepreneurship as an opportunity versus a business, the answer will be completely different for you.
There are a lot of moving pieces when you are talking about "personal" success and the dependencies between your work ethic, your knowledge, and your access to the resources you need to achieve success.
So how would one go about determining their potential success rate?
To get the answer of affiliate marketing success rates, it is best to look at the rates in which people succeed in business. On average, a decent percentage of all people fail in business. It is said that 80% of people fail at business within the first 5 years being in business. I believe that statistic is probably quite accurate, but you certainly don't have to be another "failure" statistic.
The cool part is YOU get to decide whether you are part of the 20% of people that are thriving and succeeding in your affiliate marketing business after 5 years, or if you are part of those that fit into the category of failing within your first 5 years.
And this brings me to...

The 5 Different Types of Aspiring Entrepreneur.

I have spent the last 15 years working with well over a million aspiring entrepreneurs directly. I have seen it all, but importantly I have seen characteristics and traits that tend to lead people to success, and I also see people that are failing and this is almost always a result of their habits.
I have classified entrepreneurs into 5 different categories, with some of them leading to you being in the 80% that end up in sometimes guaranteed failure, while others are in the top 20% and even in the top 1%. Let's have a look here.

(1) The Nothing Doers.

Bottom 10%, FAIL
As with any business, there is going to be a percentage of people that are "nothing doers", or in other words, they don't do squat. If you find yourself starting buying into an idea, but never following through with anything this is you. You stand a VERY good chance of failing if you fall into this category, actually it is imminent.
If you are not willing to do anything, you can't expect results. In my mind, doing something and failing at it is 100x better than not doing anything at all. The nothing doers are certainly not the category you want to fall in, but I can tell you that there are a high percentage of people out there that do fall neatly into it.
Be a "doer". You will only benefit from that.

(2) The Shiny Object Buyers.

Bottom 50%, FAIL
There is a large crowd of people that are trying to buy their way to success. The tend to be drawn to pictures of fancy cars, lavish vacations, outrageous claims of income, and luxurious mansions. They buy something, they get excited about it for a week, then they fizzle when their normal day to day overrides their ambitions to succeed.

Do they stop there?

No, they may take a break for a few weeks or a few months. This is followed by them falling back into purchasing products out of sheer personal guilt over and over again. They tend to indicate they have "bought lots" of courses to validate that they are doing something with themselves, but ultimately lack in the success department. Being a part of many programs over the years is not a claim and overspending your way to try to achieve success is not actual success.
Shiny object buyers can succeed at times. It is rare, but it does happen. This group takes up a large portion of those that fail.
If you suffer from this, please stop. Buying MORE products does not correlate to MORE success. Quite the contrary.

3. The Work Until Something Bad Happens.

Outcome: Bottom 80%, FAIL
OK, many of you may be in this boat. Lots of people out there are willing to try something new and learn something new. However, as they move along in their journey, there is almost certainly going to be a wall they hit (a business hurdle). This happens any time you are learning something new and is part of the learning process.
However, as we get older we tend to become more and more deflated by the simplest of failures. Remember those days when we were kids where we would fall off our bike, hurt ourselves, yet keep going. Well, we tend to become adverse to failure as we get older as we are taught in school it is not good to get something wrong (ie, getting an F), and the conditioning of this mentality continues as we move on with our careers.
There is a large percentage of people that are willing to start a business but when times get tough, they resort to the easiest path which is unfortunately quitting...which subsequently leads to failure.

4. The Willing to Work Their Tail Off.

Outcome: Top 20%, SUCCESS
This is a crowd that works hard, and is willing to turn over the rocks and do so with consistency. This group are those that will succeed and create long term businesses. They have the tendency to outwork their competition and when they hit roadblocks they work harder.
With a mixture of ongoing education and advancement of one's skill set, alongside the ability to work hard with consistency and persistence, you can and will be part of the top 20% in business that thrives for years.

The Willing to Fail, to Prevail.

Outcome: Top 1%, SUCCESS
You can work hard all you want, but that will only get you to a certain point in business. Those that are willing to take chances and try things that almost certainly could end in failure, are those that have a competitive advantage of their fellow successful business owners.
Embracing the idea of failure, being creative with your business, and always looking ahead regardless of what is in your way will lead you to the top 1%. There are very few people that ever make it to this category, and it is because there are simply very few people that are willing to work hard with persistence, be creative, embrace the idea of failure as a learning experience, and that won't let anything get in the way of their success.
You can absolutely be in the top 1%, now that you understand the attributes of those that are in it!

These are FIVE different types of entrepreneurs, with different work ethic and characteristics that achieve a wide array of results/outcomes in business. The good news is that if you fit into a category and don't like the "outcome", you can change the course in which you are heading and very quickly and become a higher achieving entrepreneur.
So if you fall into the first 3 "failing" categories, recognize that you are within one of those. Make the changes you need to become a better work-ethic, greater skilled, and more creative entrepreneur and their results will follow.
Which type of entrepreneur class do you fit into and which type are you capable of being? I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and comments on affiliate marketing success rates!

Affiliate Marketing Skills


How to Improve Your Affiliate Marketing Blog | News Adswikia Affiliate Marketing

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Simply, by definition, affiliate marketing is known to be "a marketing arrangement by which an online retailer pays a commission to an external website for traffic or sales generated from its referrals." If you're a beginner or new to the term of affiliate marketing, there’s a possibility all of this went completely over your head.
Let's break it down for you. Affiliate marketing is largely regarded as one of the most modern, quick and effective ways to make money online. While many would quote it to be a 'side hustle,' a lot of people successful at it make it their primary means of income. In simpler terms, it is described as the partnership between an individual and a business where the individual creates content, such as blog posts or videos, to market the said business's products or services. This drives an audience towards the product or service for sale and, in turn, the individual, or the affiliate marketer, earns a commission.
However, this is just a basic description of what the job holds. Affiliate marketers can take upon any method that works best for them. For example, a blogger looking to get involved would probably become an affiliate through an affiliate network and would either place a button, banner or link within their blog posts, which will get their reader’s

attention and drive them to the product being marketed. The more social media channels and platforms on the internet utilized, the better the product will be marketed.


The Benefits of Affiliate Marketing 

1.    Minimal Expertise Required:
While almost any other career choice in the world would require you to have some prior knowledge or education in it, affiliate marketing is one of those where you need not be a know-it-all on the subject matter. You can learn along the way, but its one of those fields that puts the term 'practice makes perfect' into use.  There are multiple available methodologies and strategies to follow on the internet on how to make affiliate marketing success for you. You can choose the one you resonate with most, or which works best for you and try to go with it. It is merely a trial-and-error based line of work. If you're already an existing blogger or content creator on the world wide web, you can benefit even more by partnering with a business to be an affiliate marketer!



1.    You don't need a lot of money to start it:
While many people shy away from venturing out into new waters when it comes to changing career paths or finding a new one due to financial constraints or money problems, affiliate marketing is not the same. It is a fairly low-cost business opportunity, and nothing is stopping you from joining it. You don't need a lot of resources to get started on affiliate marketing compared to other business ventures. All you need is to have access to the internet and some electricity to assist it for you! If you're tech-savvy, that might give you an upperhand at the game, but it is not essentially a requirement. Similarly, if you're an existing blogger or content creator on the internet, you might have a head-start, but a lot of people have still made it reasonably well without either of these two skills.
1.    It is a Wide Industry:
Affiliate marketing as an industry is one with a lot of depth and width to it. It is pretty far-reaching and profitable, and one which may have over a billion-dollar' worth in it. Since it is a vast field, searching for products or services you understand well and see yourself working with is fairly easy to do and one that will allow you to understand the whole ordeal better. Due to the fact that you can make your own choices, you can maintain your honesty and sincerity, which comes with it, which would probably help earn the trust of your customers faster. Commission wise, it has been proven that those people who show the most belief and interest in their products are the ones that tend to be more successful than their counterparts.
1.    Flexibility and Freedom come with it:
No matter whether your approach at affiliate marketing is for a secondary means of income or primary means of income, it comes with a considerable amount of freedom, independence and flexibility. Unlike any other ordinary job, affiliate marketing lets you make a few decisions on your own, such as choosing your schedule and when you want to work. Similarly, you can take your off days and even decide who you want to partner or work with. The environment and timetable you choose can be by your comfort so you can maximize and optimize your productivity.
1.    You can choose it as a Secondary Source of Income:
Affiliate Marketing doesn't have to be the only way for you to earn an income. In fact, if you already have a job and don't want to quit it, but still need some extra cash on the side. Affiliate Marketing may be the best option for you! You can use it to make money on the side without any pressure of making it big right at the start since you already have an income supporting you. This means you can be much more relaxed with your venture and can take time to figure out the method and strategy that works best for you. However, if you do choose to make it your primary source of income, it could very well be one and can make you money faster than looking for a job.
These are just a few benefits of affiliate marketing. Of course, since the market is so wide, the benefits that come with it can be just as vast. Even if there may be risks involved, the advantages could work to outweigh them.

Mobile Shopping Audience



If you want to maximize exposure and boost sales,
you absolutely need to make sure your ecommerce
website is optimized for mobile devices.

With more  people logging on via a mobile device
rather than a laptop or computer, it's important
that merchants and other business owners cater
to this ever-growing audience.

Thankfully, you can do this in many different ways.

To start, you'll want to make sure that your 
website is properly viewed on mobile devices, such

This basically means that you want to simplify the
shopping process so that mobile users are able to
quickly checkout with the products they're
interested in without taking them away from the
platform they're currently using.  

The easier you make the checkout process,
and the fewer required fields, the better.

2)  Be interactive. It's more important than ever
for online business owners to be responsive with
potential customers before and after the purchase.  

You should also consider opening up different channels
of communication that are specific to mobile users,
including live app based support or groups.

3)  Simplify navigation.  Always test out your
website on a variety of mobile devices to make sure
that everything looks the way that it should.  

Keep navigation simple and clear so that mobile users
are able to quickly return to the main page, or find
their way through different product types and categories.

4) Accept guest checkouts.  If you want to increase
conversion rates you should reconsider requiring
customers to create an account, or log into an account
in order to purchase your products.

These are just 4 of the many tips and strategies you'll
discover over the next few days. 

In our next post, we'll take a look at a few essentials for a 
successful ecommerce mobile site, so keep a look out for

Mindset and Your Life: How to Live an Amazing Life



Have you ever felt as though you should be getting more from life?

Do you ever feel tired, stressed out, or overworked?

Has your health and vitality suffered? Do you seem to be completely unable to get afloat? Perhaps you feel like you’re just treading water. All this can eventually start to get you down. This is not what we were promised. Perhaps you always pictured that your life would be different. Many of us assumed we would someday make a lot of money.

Many of us assume that we should have much more energy than we do. And we see people around us who seem to have the things that we want to achieve. We all know people who are polished, who are confident, who look attractive. We all know people who seem to have it all. So why can’t we have that? Why is life being so unfair to us?
Well, if you have read any of the other guides so far then you know that this is where you are going wrong to start with.

It’s blaming your circumstances and it’s blaming other people. You have everything you need to live a truly incredible life right now. All that is missing is the right mindset to go about achieving it. You know what’s even more likely? You’re already living a truly amazing life. You already have everything that anyone could ever ask for… but you just don’t appreciate it.

As we’ve learned over this series, your happiness and your accomplishments stem from you. And more than that, they stem from your mindset and the way that you view yourself and your life. They stem from having the drive to go out and get the things you feel you deserve. And from knowing how you are going to go about doing that. In this final guide, you’re going to learn how to make some simple changes.

You’re going to learn how to start fortifying yourself against challenge. You’re going to learn to start appreciating all the things you already have. And you’re going to learn to master your life so that you can decide precisely what kind of person you want to be. Precisely what you are going to achieve.

What Are Your Priorities?

The first thing you need to do is to start reassessing some of your priorities. Many of us complain that we aren’t healthier, happier or richer but we never do anything about it. That’s because  despite what we’re saying  we aren’t giving those aspects of our lives priority. Let’s break down your current routine shall we and see if we can assess the problem?

You’re telling people you want to have six pack abs. you’re telling people you want to be a successful author or a successful business owner. You tell people that your family means everything to you. Okay then. So, if that’s true, those are the things you should be spending the majority of your time on right?

Instead, what you will probably find is that your lifestyle looks something more like this:

Sleep: 6-7 Hours

Work: 8-9 Hours

Commuting: 1-2 Hours

Lunch Break: 30 Minutes

Everything else: ~5 Hours

And in those roughly five hours, you need to fit in waking up, getting ready for the day, washing dishes, doing the laundry, cooking. Now ask me again why you don’t have the lifestyle you want? You claim that your goals and dreams are your top priority and yet you don’t live a life that reflects that in the slightest. This reminds me very much of the problem with modern politics.

So often, we are told by our political leaders just how much money they have managed to save. They’ll tell us how they have increased the value of the dollar. They’ll boast that they’re paying off the deficit. But is this how we should really be judging their success? How about much more important metrics like quality of life? Or happiness?

You’re doing the same thing in your own life. You’re pouring 90% of your effort into your work and coming away completely exhausted. Of course everything else suffers.

How it Got This Way

Have you ever asked how things got this way?

The answer, while it might not be very pleasant, ultimately comes down to fear and indoctrination. It’s fear because we are driven so often by a fear of our partners leaving us. By a fear of debt. By a fear of not being able to put a deposit on a house. Of being single in our 40s and missing the boat to have children. This means that you are motivated by the stick rather than the carrot.

You are focused on running away from all the things you don’t want, rather than toward all the things you do want. And this really isn’t helped by the media and by the way we’re brought up. This is where the whole ‘indoctrination’ part comes in. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I’m not here to tell you that this is a deliberate move on the part of the government or any such thing. BUT it is nevertheless the way most of us are brought up. We are raised to believe that we are born into some kind of debt.

That we owe this debt to society. That hard graft and work is something to be proud of. Meanwhile, we are taught to want all kinds of things that are just out of our grasp. These include widescreen TVs, lavish properties, expensive looking cars and more. We work toward these things, we work because we’re afraid of debt, and we work because it is what society expects of us. But let me ask you this: is there really any inherent value in work itself? Working toward a good cause is of course a good thing.

Working to support your family is likewise to be applauded. But those people who proudly state that they’ve ‘never missed a day of work!’ or who retire in their 80s, or who talk in a generally proud fashion about the work they did stacking palettes. It’s nice they’re proud. Really it is. But here’s the sad part: if they didn’t come in, the world would keep on ticking on without them. And even if it didn’t, the worst case scenario is that someone would get a palette late.

Meanwhile, wouldn’t it have been much better if they had looked after their health? If they had spent more time with their family? If they had pursued a passion and written a beautiful piece of music? Work in itself should be a means to an end and certainly not a means in itself. Work only has value as long as the end product has value. And even then, it’s not worth sacrificing every other aspect of your life for.

Lifestyle Design

The simple cognitive shift I want you to make here then is that you are not living to work but working to live. It’s a cliché I know, but if you actually follow that advice through to its logical conclusion, then you find yourself with something akin to lifestyle design. Lifestyle design is a way of life that simply flips traditional notions of work on their head and instead focuses on building a lifestyle you can be happy with.

You decide what it is you want to accomplish, who you want to be and then you change your career and other factors in order to fit around that lifestyle. For many people, this will mean becoming a digital nomad. Thanks to modern technology, there is no need for us to work from a stuffy office or make a long journey into work. Instead, we can simply load up the computer and work from home.

This affords an amazing amount of freedom, allowing you to work from wherever you like and whenever you like. Many people will take advantage of this by travelling the world with just a laptop and working from coffee shops. That’s lifestyle design and that’s being a ‘digital nomad’.But it can also mean something much smaller. It means looking at the promotion that comes with so much extra responsibility and it means asking yourself if it’s worth it.

Wouldn’t it be much better to spend more time with your family and keep the job you’ve got? Alternatively, maybe you take on that job but you negotiate having one day off so that you get a whole day to yourself. Or perhaps you take on a part-time job and a side-income instead. Maybe you conclude that in order to follow your passions, the best option is to become a garbage collector so that you can be free by 2pm in the afternoon. Need more money? Then get a smaller house!

It can even mean that you choose to move home somewhere that you’ll be nearer to work so that you have a shorter commute. A shorter commute means 30 minutes extra to yourself per day. Maybe you decide to pay for a cleaner so that you can have a beautiful home! There are so many variables here that you can play around with that you don’t need to take the most obvious route through your life.  You don’t have to follow the predetermined path that has been set out for you by society and you don’t need to keep making life harder and harder.

Some More Changes

Choosing to design your own lifestyle and take back control is one way to start getting what you want from life. But there are a few others too that will help you with this. One cognitive shift is to know your worth, to stand your ground and lose the fear. Another cognitive shift is to recognize that time and money are both interchangeable. This latter point means that if you are getting paid more but you are also working longer hours then you aren’t really getting a pay rise at all.

The only way this would count as a pay rise is if you got paid more for working the same hours. So, if you’re being offered profession up the ladder but it involves staying later at work, there is an obvious answer: you’ll just take the pay rise thanks! This is where knowing your worth comes in. You see, many of us are afraid to ask for more money, or are afraid to increase our rates. We think if we do that, we’ll lose work and we’ll end up homeless. Again: lose the fear. This doesn’t happen.

If you are providing a good service to someone, or if you’re a good employee, then you can afford to charge more.
Think about how much they’re earning thanks to you and how much they’d lose if you stopped working for them.
You have the right to charge more. And not only that, but it is common for wages to go up regardless of responsibilities. So, if you feel you need more money then don’t be afraid to ask for it. And if they refuse? Then you look elsewhere for a new employer or new clients.

As Tim Ferriss says: ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Ultimately, you are worth what you think you are worth. If you put a price on your head that is too low, then you can work incredibly hard for no reward. Keep looking. And keep learning.  And here’s one more thing: don’t wait. Don’t wait for life to get better. Don’t wait until you’re old and retired. Because life always throws you curveballs and the stars never align. The only way you can live a better life is to start right NOW. And don’t tell me you’re too old: you’re never too old to be the person you always wanted to be.

So if you’ve been putting off going travelling because of fear, because of opportunity and because you worry that life won’t be there for you when you get back it is time to buck up your ideas. Take charge and go now. This is the only way you’ll ever go. Work will be there when you get back. And if it isn’t? At least you’ve done something truly memorable and worthwhile. What could be more valuable?

It Starts With Everything

Hopefully, some of these tips will help you to start getting more from your life simply by changing your priorities and going after the things you want.

So where do you start?

The answer is with everything.

What I mean by this, is that if you want to be healthier and happier and to live a generally better life, then you need to change everything all at once. We’ve discussed that your ability to change your life starts in the mind. But have you considered what affects your mind?

The mind has a limited amount of energy. Throughout these guides, I’ve asked a lot from you: to take more responsibility, to lose your fear, to practice discipline, to stay motivated. All those things take energy. And if you’ve only got 5 hours outside of work to be productive in, then you’re going to struggle. You’ll struggle even more if you’re highly stressed and if you’re burned out.

So as you start to put the emphasis a bit more back onto you. As you start to focus on your goals and on the things that make you happy, you can also look at how you can ensure you are charged and able to get the very most out of life. It starts with simple things: things like getting enough sleep, things like going out in the sun occasionally and maybe things like taking vitamin supplements.

Later it goes on to more profound matters: learning to meditate. Finding a passion. Surrounding yourself with the right people. Every aspect of your health and your lifestyle will feed back into the way you feel and what you can accomplish. You need to start small and build up the energy you want. Right now you might feel trapped by your circumstances, so find just that small crack of light.

That might mean getting a little more energy by taking a supplement in the morning. But if that gives you enough fuel to consider implementing systems to keep your home tidier and that gives you the mental space to start challenging your work-life balance… then it will all be worth it.

And Finally

And finally? Learn to appreciate what you have right now. Because this is the ultimate key to happiness. The truth is that if you keep dreaming of that widescreen TV then you won’t be able to escape the hedonistic treadmill. You’ll stay in the fight or flight mode, you’ll keep pushing and fighting. And looking forward to a holiday isn’t much better. Looking forward to quitting your job isn’t that much better either.

Do it now. And meanwhile, learn to focus on what’s already just right in your life. If you stop and smell the roses, if you practice a ‘gratitude mindset’ you’ll realize you’ve probably already accomplished a whole lot. And you’ll find that you already have many happy moments in your daily life. Live in those moments.
