How to Earn Money with Affiliate Marketing

Have you been wondering how you can earn money with affiliate marketing?

Are you interested in learning how you can really make money online without any start up costs or monthly fees?

What many people don’t realize is that if you want to be successful online (whatever you choose to do), you need a platform. I recommend you start a blog for a few reasons. Mainly because it’s a platform you own, where you can build your brand, and engage with people.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media networks are also platforms you can use to grow your affiliate earnings. The key is knowing how to build an audience, and engage that audience, so you can sell to that audience.

Building Your Personal Brand & Content Creation

It is beyond clear that we are in full fledged, Digital Mode. Everyone and their mama is a content creator now. With platforms like IG and Facebook encouraging folks to post reels to earn pay, it makes sense.

However, not everyone is creating content to build a reputable business. Those like you and I, can sometimes get ‘lost in the sauce’ for not doing the most to get noticed (if you know what I mean).

In our case, it is important to not only create content, but build a personal brand that will last well beyond whatever is currently trending on Tik Tok.

Why You Need Support to Grow Into Your Success

In the summer of 2002, I was first introduced to a home based business. I was 22 years old, newly married and a mom of 3.

As an only child raised by my grandmother, I knew by the time I was 11 that when I grew up, I wanted a large family and to work from home. Even though I had no idea what that really looked like back then…I dreamed of being my own boss.

When the opportunity was presented to me, I was very interested. Not because of the products (because I was not into makeup), but I was very intrigued by how I could make my own money from home.

Are You Prepared for the Economic Shift?

Let’s be real…many jobs are being phased out. Employees are being replaced by A.I. (artificial intelligence) and automation. You may think your job is safe, and it very well may be, for now.

But what about your kids?

Take McDonald’s for instance…they are revamping their customer experience by eliminating human interaction.

Will fast food jobs, those typically suited for teens or young adults, still be available in the next 3-5 years?

Times are changing.

The gig economy is booming.

Home food deliveries are on the rise.

Less people are needed in the office.

Zoom meetings are no longer weird.

Schooling has gone virtual.

The Struggle of the Multifaceted Entrepreneur

Should you focus on this instead of that?

Or…do this, instead of that.

How often have you been told to focus on the main thing?

I have a passion for many “things”…like, entrepreneurship, wealth building, various areas of marketing, spirituality, and natural health and wellness to name a few. Many born entrepreneurs are multifaceted.

However, when it comes to business, we are often taught to focus on just one thing (as to not confuse people). Which I agree with to a degree.

We can look “crazy” (or like we lack focus) if we are constantly promoting different products or services that don’t normally mesh well. In other words…dabbling in multiple industries.

Why You Should Build Your Personal Brand

If you want to grow a successful home based business, you must embrace the idea of building a personal brand.

It doesn’t matter if you are brand new to the online business space, or a bit more seasoned. Whether you are an entrepreneur, home business owner or are just getting started…branding yourself is necessary.

There is no need to get worried because it’s not as hard or complex as you may think.

As a professional in the home business arena, you have to learn to separate yourself from your company. You are an INDEPENDENT business owner. Therefore, you need a way to stand out and represent yourself as an individual.

Personal branding is the way to do that.

Why You Have to Keep Moving Forward

No matter what is happening in your life or business, you have to keep moving forward. Yes, sometimes that can be hard. However, it’s important to do for many reasons.

Imagine this…

You started a business because you were tired of working at a job that robbed you of your passions. You showed up everyday, performed your work, and left at the end of the day feeling unfulfilled.

You are fed up, frustrated and exhausted from the dreadful routine. But now, that new business has ignited that fire within you once again. You’re happy doing what you enjoy (even if it is only in your spare time).

How to Sell When You Are Not Good At Sales

Do you want to start a business but feel like you are not good at sales? You may not think of yourself as a “salesperson”, but really…we all are.

Follow me for a minute…

Have you ever ate at a restaurant and told a friend how amazing the food was?

Did you ever watch a really good movie, then share about it on Facebook?

Ever listen to a deep song and play it for your significant other?

If you said, “yea, I’ve done that”…congratulations, you are good at sales!

What Is Your Perception of Sales?

Most people who think they are not good at sales have had a negative experience at some point in time. That particular event is what forms your belief about selling and sales.

Start An Online Work At Home Career

Have you been looking into starting an online work at home business?

Are you confused about all the options that are currently available?

Before you get super excited, and sign on with a budding start-up, or a company that sounds too good to be true, you’ll need to do your due diligence.

What Are You Looking For In a Work At Home Business?

The first thing you will need to do is be clear about what you are looking for in a company, and what you are willing to do, to earn an income.

How to Start A Blog In 3 Simple Steps

Many entrepreneurs wonder how to start a blog, so they can build their online presence, grow their brand or business, and start making money online.

Fast forward to today…blogging is still my primary method for growing my business and has proven to be the most effective way to attract new leads, and generate sales online.

Even if you are new to blogging, in this post you will learn…
