Baby Power Affiliate without his M&Ms? :-)

I still remember the day Clayden was born like it was this morning. Man, who would have thought he'll be wearing a little tuxedo now and constantly showering his dad with tantrums :-)

That's how it goes, as a baby he was totally dependent on his mum and me to look after him. He's still relying on us now of course, but at 28 months he has grown in strength and confidence. So much so that he's now able to 'challenge' us whenever he doesn't get his beloved M&Ms!

What am I trying to say, baby talk?

Well it's all about growing and learning and advancing forward one step at a time.

It's about taking the first baby steps before running. And so it is with Affiliate Marketing, or any business you venture in for that matter. Building a firm solid foundation is much more important to your long-term success than anything else.

Before you make that $100,000, you got to first make $10. You got to get started making that FIRST sale. Before you jump into the fire, you got to test the heat. Before you taste success you got to taste some failure.

Have you heard of the "Law Of Growth" from my friend Jason Oman?

Success takes a series of steps building upon each other before it fully blooms. It's not a one-off thing.

Ask yourself what you need to do today, what you need to do NOW, to make that first sale, that first $10, that first $1000...and do it carefully without jumping in too fast initially. Give yourself time to learn, and thus grow steadily.

This simple law is governed by nature and applies no matter what business or activity you're in, be it your own products, resale rights, and especially affiliate marketing.

Look, the great thing about affiliate marketing is you've the luxury of using other people's time and resources as your own learning curve and education - WITHOUT much risk compared to doing it otherwise. This will naturally shape your knowledge and grow your strength...until you're ready to advance to your own products (with all the marketing experience behind you already). You can also use this concept to test campaigns and strategies before applying them to your own sites.

Affiliate marketing is an indispensable and powerful "testbed" and educational tool you CANNOT afford to ignore.

It will get easier and easier once you get the momentum and know how. You'll get more and more confident and achieve better results as you go along. But you got to take these baby steps first...

...just ask Clayden :-)
