Super Affiliate Marketing Blog

Time and time again, webmasters are constantly seeking that one golden secret that the big boys seem to know and keep safeguarded away from them. Other times people we’ve never heard about make false claims with inflated stats to sell their ebooks and self help products that make you wonder “well, if it works so damn well, why don’t you keep it a secret and just replicate the crap out of it yourself?”. Yeah, well, the answer to that question is because they are either too lazy to keep on doing it and want to cash out really quickly, or they never really accomplished it, and know that since everyone is looking for an answer, they can tell a pretty good story to make you believe that they have it. Which leads me to the next question, of all of these self help ebooks and fluff, have you made it big yet? Have you done as well as the author or even come close to it? The answer is probably no. Sure, they may have made a few great statements and points, given you some new ideas, but really, all of these products are the same product of Grade-A 100% pure packaged bullshit.

So how does a regular webmaster win big in the affiliate marketing game exactly? Just like a recipe for a cake, you can’t just make something out of one ingredient, you have to combine them, measure them out correctly, and follow specific steps to come out with a final product that absolutely rocks. And just like with baking, as a newbie in the field you will fail, make mistakes, and most probably will not succeed as much as the pro’s do, especially on your first time. But it’s up to you, and you only to keep plugging away and staying focused with your eye on the prize.

This is by far, the biggest mistake ever made by webmasters who are trying to conquer a market. Their drive for success just plain sucks. Don’t get offended and deny it either, because if you aren’t happy with your success, or you have had very little or no success at affiliate marketing, then your drive to succeed is not where it should be. Don’t ask me where it is, because I don’t have that answer for you. You should know yourself well enough now to realize that you need to change the way you work, research, think, and develope your sites and strategies.

To get yourself into the right state of mind, with the right attitude you have to do something that really excites you and gets you revved up. For me, I like mob movies and movies about guys pulling off big jobs while everyone doubts them. I don’t sit there and watch a full movie to get myself revved up, instead, I’ll sometimes take a DVD of The Godfather, and watch some of my favorite parts. The whole thing takes 20 minutes or so. Sometimes, when I’m not in the mood for that, I’ll listen to a song that gets me in a real working type mood, something fast and heavy usually, like Metallica, or a really high energy trance track or set. Generally, when I’m doing my work I am listening to trance music. I know a lot of people don’t get it, but this is something I like a lot, and it keeps me focused, happy, and energized. I also have a drink near me at all times, usually soda, and I go out for cigarette breaks every so often. It may not be a healthy routine, but it’s my routine, and it works very well for me.

So now that you’ve laid out what gets you revved up and ready to work, you have to actually have this great thing called FOLLOW THROUGH. With many of my projects, including the blog, follow through is by far the toughest thing to master. Following through with your ideas and projects is tough because you have to sit down for what seems to be long periods of time to perfect it. It seems like suck a daunting task usually, so I’ll procrastinate it, put it off for another time or for “later”, except later almost never arrives.

My point is that you cannot give yourself excuses anymore. Don’t let anything get in your way. If you have a task to do, do it, and move onto the next thing. If you are doing something well, and making money from it, there are always areas to improve on. Comparing your setup to your competition’s is key, because you can bet that they are doing the same with their setup to yours.

The answer to the secret is that one of the most serious ingredients to really succeed is getting yourself in the right state of mind. The most common mistake is when a webmaster convinces themself they are ready for the project, but really, all they are ready to do is count their money, or even worse, what they could be making (spending it before they’ve made it). This is poison to a potentially successful webmaster. The answers to your questions are laid out right before you, it’s up to you to reach out and grab it and do something with it. If all those idiots that make the bullshit ebooks can do it, so can you.
