Marketers VS Website Designers

I joined Wealthy Affiliate to become a “Wealthy Affiliate” and live a lifestyle of freedom fun and fulfillment.

How much time do you spend on marketing, and how much time do you spend working on your website?

It would seem to me, that anything and everything that you need would be contained within this platform. However, I’ve noticed a lot of conversation about going outside of the Wealthy Affiliate platform to find different hosting services, and other tools.

I think you might agree, that finding products and services with Affiliate programs is not the challenge. There are a plethora of products and services online that have affiliate programs.

The challenge is finding prospective customers that are in alignment with those products and services that will buy them and become customers.

The formula is simple.

Product + Prospect = $ALE

So why then, do so many Affiliates struggle to make money? Is it because they are distracted doing tasks like working on the website?

Perhaps our solution as a community is to focus on collaborating to fill a central hub database of shoppers. (Does this already exist here in Wealthy Affiliate?) Saturation is not an issue. There are millions and millions of consumers on the planet. The issue is categorized lead lists. Categorized by niche. We already know a plethora of niches. Heck, list brokers have used the SIC (Standard Industry Code) system for years.

If we have access to a list of categorized prospective buyers, do we need to continually tweek our websites? Or could we simply allow the shoppers into the Wealthy Affiliate Department Store to shop and purchase.

Some of you might be thinking, it would not be fair, because the marketers that got in first would get all the business. The solution for this, is put in URL rotators to distribute the traffic equally and fairly.

They used to say Content is King.

However, the Internet and the platforms have changed. Your content is curated, suppressed and overshadowed by the bigger fish in the pond. Keywords have become scrambled, coded or ignored. Domains have become blocked, suppressed or misdirected. Cancel Culture and control have become acceptable. Statistics are full of manipulative false metrics.

Product + Prospect = $ALE

Can it be this simple?

How I make money online from home here in Minneapolis (Fridley) Minnesota

How to make money online from home!

Yes, it can be done.

Granted, it’s not that easy, to even make one sale. This is why I prefer the recurring subscription model products. You make that one sale, and you earn commissions month after month as long as the customer continues to use the software product.

Do you need a website? Not necessarily. But it helps. Having a website gives people the feeling that you are in it for the long term. And you are more likely to be trusted. Trust is vital.

Do you need to show your face online? No, you do not need to show your face online. However in my opinion that will accelerate the trust factor, and trust is vital.

Do you need to spend money to make money. Most people would say you need to spend money to make money. However, I do not believe that is true. You will need to expand some energy and do some work.

We can do this together.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE: I need to let you know, that there are links on this website that go to products that I will earn a commission from when you buy the product. This is how I make money on the Internet. Thank you for your support.

These Passive Income Ideas will shift your mindset to Wealthy and Wise

Some will claim that passive income does not exist.

This is because they have a different definition of what passive actually means.

Passive Income Ideas will set you free!

Passive income comes from activity that you have done previously, and you do not need to actively sell something to create the income in real time. It happens after the fact.

This blog post is an example. I am doing this blog post at 6:27am CST on a Monday morning. I do not expect to make an actual sale at 6:28am CST.

The money generated from this post, might happen tomorrow, in a week, in a month, maybe even a year or two. That will be passive income.

This book by author, Robert Kiyosaki will help you shift your mindset from the employee “wage slave” to a wealthy investor of your energy, time and money.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSER: I need to let you know, that there are affiliate links on this website, that will compensate me with a commission, if you decide to Uber just one of these products or services. Thank you for your support. This is how I make money on the Internet.

Minnesota Economic Collapse

The Covid thing really caused a lot of problems globally. More specifically, financial problems. Yes of course there were health and wellness situations and there were relationships that were torn apart with differing opinions.

One of the main problems that was caused by the Covid situation, is the financial crisis around the globe. Businesses were closed so employees could not be paid. If employees have no money, they can’t pay their rent or mortgage for their home, they cut back on buying products and services, and the economy is stressed.

One of the reasons I enjoy being self-employed, is I did not have to worry about losing my job. Granted, my event business came to a screeching halt, but my Affiliate relationships continued to pay me.

The businesses that purchased much of their software via me, (through my affiliate links) are still using the software to operate their business, which means every recurring month, I earn a recurring commission, that puts money in my bank account.

There is a link to some of the software and tools that I used to operate my business, and I also promote these products and services to other business owners.

Don’t confuse Affiliate Marketing with MLM or Network Marketing Pyramids

Yes, there is a difference.

The simplest way I can put it is this.

if the structure goes beyond 2 tiers, it is an MLM (Multi Level Marketing) plan.

The affiliate marketing model does not go beyond to levels. The second level is only for a broker that wants to manage a team.

The affiliate marketing model is really no different than the insurance or the real estate model where there are agents and brokers. A broker would manage multiple agents. The affiliate agents promote the product or service directly to the consumer or end-user.

if it seems too complicated as to how you get paid, it’s probably a multi level type scheme with multiple percentage payouts.

KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE.

Medtronic insulin pumps vulnerable to hacking issues corrective action

The cybersecurity risk is the latest in a series of issues that the pumps, and Medtronic’s diabetes business, have faced in recent months.

Medtronic began alerting patients Tuesday of a technological weakness in its MiniMed 600 Series insulin pumps that makes it vulnerable to hacking, the latest in a series of problems for the device and the company’s diabetes business.

Medtronic said it is not possible for someone to gain unauthorized pump access through the internet.

In an earnings call last month, Medtronic chief executive Geoff Martha said the company has “completed more than 90% of the actions we committed to the FDA” in response to the warning letter.
