Crucial Affiliate Tip, Make Things Right, Deal Day!
Published: Fri, 09/13/19
I've been running myself into the ground lately with too little sleep so my goal this week is to get on a good bedtime schedule. I was doing good there for awhile but then I end up staying up later and later. Last night I fell asleep in the middle of the debates and that means I'm exhausted because I love watching politics!
So here's what I have for you today:
#1 - Crucial Affiliate Tip
Sometimes, there's something many of us are talking and joking about behind the scenes and the public doesn't know any better, so I feel compelled to share it with you.There will be times when you take a course for online success and apparently the people teaching it will advise you that when you apply to promote a product as affiliate, you should say something like, "I'm a student of (that vendor's name) and I'm sure I can promote this well," etc.
PLEASE NEVER DO THIS.
You are shooting yourself in the foot SO bad.
Even if the people are top vendors, MANY of them have horrible ethics. I can't tell you how many people I denied on this current launch because they used that cookie cutter statement to apply to promote. First, it shows a total lack of personalization. Better to mention why you like the topic for your list than to say you're a student of these people. Second, if you're learning from them, and I think they're scumbag marketers, I SURE don't want you promoting my stuff.
And don't go by who YOU like. You NEVER know what the vendor thinks of the person you're considering name dropping. SO MUCH goes on behind the scenes that you won't know about. So ALWAYS apply based on your own merit and never ever name drop another person.
#2 - Deal Day
FIRST - It's the LAST DAY for Justin Popovic's Success Rituals PLR sale and it's soooooo good. This is a video course with PLR rights. That means it's something you could turn around and sell and make a nice profit from. Justin's a professional speaker and motivational expert so his stuff is incredible. Check it out here:https://toolsformotivation.com/idevaffiliate//idevaffiliate.php?id=tiffany_181_3_185
SECOND - Sharyn of Content Sparks has a weekend special for half off her "Know Your Customer" PLR bundle here:
https://affiliates.contentsparks.com/aff/idevaffiliate.php?id=1232_46_3_30
It includes a course book, action guide, cheat sheet, graphics and infographics, interview questions, customer profile template, slideshow, and social media posts!
THIRD - Not to toot my own horn (okay yes I will), but my front end and upgrade option to my Total Self Care is getting lots of great feedback! If you get the upgrade with the original article bundle, then you end up with everything you need to start an entire site AND have a product to sell. The articles on the front end will beef up your blog, but then the One Time Offer upgrade gives you an eBook, sales copy, lead magnet, email series, product reviews and ecover graphics.
And the price is between $0.48 and $0.50 per page! SO cheap for good, quality content. Takes the pressure off of YOU to have to research and brainstorm and create it from scratch. AND it's a good crossover niche into any niche that has stress in it.
Check it out - sale only lasts 4 more days:

#3 - Make Things Right
So today a friend and I were talking and she mentioned in passing that a relative of mine (I won't say who but it's not one of my kids) had her PREpay her for some articles and then she never delivered them.I got to see the emails exchanged and there were plenty of excuses - dental problems and a vacation to go on. But she took the money and never delivered!
I was embarrassed to say the least. This was years ago, too. Made me wonder who else this had happened to who didn't tell me because they didn't want to humiliate me?
Anyway, this person was so sweet about it but I begged her to let me make it right - by either refunding the money my relative took or letting me create content for her. She opted for content, so I'm whipping up 15 new articles for her.
Sometimes, things aren't your fault but they DO reflect on you to some degree. After all, it was me who told people to hire this person.
I also had someone years who partner up with me for a launch and they delayed SO much in paying the leaderboard prizes that I asked who won because I was going to pay them myself! (This was before the system had it for all to see).
That annoyed him, but oh well. He finally paid it and didn't give me the names. But I was annoyed.
ALWAYS protect your own reputation. And if someone screwed over your friends or customers, do what you can to remedy the situation. EVEN if they say it's no problem. It's what's RIGHT, period.
Tiff ;)
P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
