This is the continuation of the last post discussing the biggest, hardest pill to swallow in affiliate marketing.
It's Going to Take Money
The 4 products/services that you absolutely need are
- Autoresponder ✔️
- Training Hub
- Tracking Service
- Hosting Service
We finished autoresponders and are using $20/month as the cost of your autoresponder for our budget. Now let's talk about training hubs.
Why do I need a training hub? If you are not consistently making income from the internet that gives you the lifestyle you want and a growing income, then you need to learn how to do better from someone/someplace. You need new ideas and you need to keep up with what is happening on the internet, trying to do it on your own can easily get you into a rut that keeps your business from growing or even worse shrinking.
There are many training hubs out there. As you can imagine, they have a wide variance in price. I went through a period where I tried one high-priced training hub after another. My logic being if they cost more, they must be better. They weren't. Almost all of them focused on Facebook Ads which are costly. Facebook is also finicky and will cancel your account at the drop of a hat with little warning. A lot of training hubs let you join for free. Join, check them out and see if it is the one for you.
I highly recommend ClickTrackProfit. It is one of the best, if not the best, training hubs. CTP will teach you how to grow any business using FREE resources. Also, you will learn about the future of affiliate marketing with blockchains and cryptocurrencies. The methods you learn will build long-term relationships with your affiliates for long-term, sustained income. For our budget, let's put $27/month which is the cost of their top upgrade. By upgrading you get access to all of the training available. I would suggest starting with a free membership. Get through all the training available. CTP has several live training sessions each week. It is impossible to get better training especially for free. Plus you will learn how to start earning cryptocurrency with $0 investment.
If you are looking for training on a specific topic, I would highly recommend Udemy. If you are not familiar with Udemy, it is a source of 100s, probably 1000s, of training courses. Several times a year they have sales where most courses are between $10-12. These are quality training courses that you can review over and over if needed. I try to do at least 2 courses per year usually on a technical topic.
So the budget looks like this at this point
Product | Cost/Month | Comment |
---|---|---|
Autorespnder | $20 | Needed right away |
Training Hub | $27 | Start for free, upgrade later |
TOTAL | $47 |
