Sounds like one of those scammy e-book titles you always hear about over at Digital Point, right? Thankfully, I’ m not gonna sell you anything. The past month has been pretty shitty for me. It was probably the worst month for marketing in my life. I decided enough was enough and I just had to kick up my profits. Here is how I got myself on the right track.

Set up the office

I set up my own home office. This makes me feel like while I’m at my desk, I’ve got to be on the job at all times. On top of this, I’ve got my designer that comes in and helps me get my tasks done. He’s what keeps me from searching for porn on Google. That’d be awkward if he caught me doing that, aye?

Talked to some friends

I use a private chat I’m part of with a small circle of friends that are also other affiliate marketers. I tried a little better to participage and ask some questions. They are all great people and helped point me in the right direction to get some motivation and make some profits. Without the other people I know in marketing, I’d probably still be a giant boat of fail. Just reaching out and contacting someone, anyone, you know in marketing can go a long way in helping you succeed.

Asked my affiliate managers

Your relationship with your affiliate manager is huge! Don’t underestimate them, and don’t let them underestimate you. You pay for their shiny new cars and $50 lunches, so why shouldn’t you be swamping them with questions? Anyways, I talked with one of my favorite AMs and one of the coolest cats I know, Ryan Eagle, from Eagle Web Assets. It’s a private network, but if you are buddies with me, him or Harrison, you can prolly find a way to sneak in.

Anyways, he knows what offers I like to run and how I promote everything, and this kid just asks me “What offer do you want and what payout do you want for it?” He goes out and gets whatever the hell you want to promote without shaking. You want to know how much money he took on that offer? The offer pays out 5 more cents on his end. I have to sent 1000 leads just for him to make $50. What a playa! He helped me snatch an offer that many other networks don’t have, and gave me a higher payout than anyone else will have for sure! On top of that, he gave me advice for generating traffic from areas I hadn’t heard of!

With all these working in connection, I’ve been able to raise my revenue over 5x of what I was pushing last week. It looks like it will be pretty consistent, too. So, get out there, sign up for some affiliate networks (My favorites: EWA, Tatto Media, Motive Interactive, Advaliant), split test some offers, ask me for advice, and make some money!
