My Core Belief About Affiliate Marketing

I use Core belief here because tonight I logged onto a work at home forum, it is my favorite one, I am on a few. I don't log onto them as much as I should. Every time I do I tell myself you should do this a couple times a week. I learn something new each time. Today I was reminded by a very respected member there in his post about Frank Kern's Core Influence series, or program or whatever it is. I watched a few of these videos and I had forgotten about them. I also realized what Frank Kern teaches I pretty much do. For the most part anyway.

The general message is you have to be able to understand their problems, feel them really so you can communicate through to their core personality. You have to get to know them I believe or communicate to them as if you know them and feel their pain or problem. So in essence if you feel their pain, you do understand and you sort of become an authority to you audience.

I don't underestimate the power of really getting to know my audience. I do this through Facebook and some forums related to my niche. I guess you could say I am building an online presence and credibility slowly but surely. If you remember, I am not in a huge hurry hear nor am I the most organized.

Bottom line, I choose a niche that I am absolutely passionate about. I know that I help other people and this and the passion means I enjoy what I do. Since I enjoy what I do, that core thing resonates through my writing. This is my core belief about affiliate marketing, you have to love what you do, be passionate, and the rest will follow.

I also have a few followers in the affiliate marketing niche. There are a few that follow this blog. The main purpose of this blog is Pot Pie Girls program. It's just a side thing from my niche and the reason is it worked for me. It opened the door and painted a picture for me. After my first week long project that I followed step by step, I started learning, a lot.

I really am pretty clueless about a lot of this stuff, but I believe in what I do, I like it and it works. It can be done. I may do things backwards, that is debateable for sure. If you read this blog I think you might see I have learned a lot from day one. At least I hope so. I am still very much a newbie.

Oh and I think in my last post I said I would update about my articles that I had screwed up links in, the domain was auctioned off because I wasn't paying attention. I fixed them. I was curios if those few articles out of the loop would make a difference. Turns out it did, not huge by any means, maybe an average of $80.00 per week, but hey, it's something.

Thanks to my friends on the work at home forums! I would not be here if not for you, really I wouldn't.

If you have made it this far I must add that core belief or feeling the pain or problem that you want to solve should transfer into your key word research. I have come up with many a good key words by putting myself into the shoes of another or remembering a time when I was in the exact same shoes. Use this core belief thing for key words, article titles, domain names etc....
