Recently Super Affiliate Accelerated has announced that they are dropping the price of their start-up system of running an affiliate marketing business to $50, compared to what was it again? $2,000? $1,500? It's a bit fuzzy on the former cost, but the bottom line is that they are offering whoever joins to get new their MOCA blueprint, MOCA is the abbreviation for Mindset, Offer, Conversion, Audience.
They offer blueprints, lectures, strategies and one to one mentorships to help set people up to create a 6 figure online business with products that can generate evergreen leads and constant flow of content and clients so that you're not wasting time asking every Tom, Dick and Sally on the internet. Instead they have systems that help you find people that will buy the products on a frequent basis. They claim no upselling, no hidden fees and they will offer a full refund if it doesn't work out. Something Exitus Elite didn't offer when I joined their system.
However, many people who do stuff online though seem to do Successful Solutions Method. Including a few I've spoken to via live video chat. What do you do? You do online jobs for at least an hour and you get paid to do it. You don't have to recruit or sell, although I suspect you earn a lot more if you do. The entry is $125, for the lowest level, which includes an admin fee, not sure what that means exactly but I assume there's a certain fee, with SSM monthly? annual? I don't know, but the highest is $2,000. It seems to be all over Facebook with those who join show earnings from $50 to $1,000. I just can't join their webinars due to them taking part at midnight, where I am. A lot online webinars seem to take part very late at night for that matter. To be fair, I think they do replays on YouTube.
Myonline Startup still holds onto their lifetime offer of being a partner for life, for how long, I don't know. Once that offer expires, it's a monthly cost to new partners. The cost to join is $197 altogether, but there's also a VAT surcharge, making it just over £200 on my side, that figures. To become a lifetime partner and one where I would get people to join Myonline Startup and if the people I recruit make a lot of money on clickbank and/or wealthy affiliate or what have you, I make a lot of money as well. Watching the days pass me by leaves me very anxious. I sometimes don't know whether I should try just one, buy them all or do nothing. Why? Each of them such interesting prospects and the reviews check out in terms of whether they're worth joining. For what it's worth, I hate the hesitation.
My mind keeps thinking of various factors, not the least of which are my parents. They want me to wait for a couple more weeks as I have tutors for my university course. There is a lot of things that are going to be used to help my university course but they are going to take up a lot of my time. Other factors are the products such as what products do you sell?, my mindset, my lack of clarity or clients and my autism. Yes, I said that I have autism. I have some mental challenges to myself, but don't we all have that in our lives?
More importantly, what is my niche? What do I like doing and can I turn that into some affiliate strategy? I love video games, and I remember seeing some gaming affiliate links, I've also seen players get thousands of likes and comments on their game streams, so it's possible for gaming to be my niche, but I'm no professional and I probably need years to master the games. That and I don't have the right recording equipment or technology.
I like to learn how to cook but I can only motivate myself to cook if I'm feeding someone else, like my parents. If I'm home alone, I'd rather pop a pie and chips in the oven. I love to watch chefs cook food and I do entertain the idea of trying the recipes and I do take pictures of food at every pub and restaurant I go to. My phone is clogged with pictures of food that I took over the years. I wonder if that's affiliate marketing of some kind?
I enjoy looking up stuff to help the environment as I'm a firm believer of Global Warming. I do a lot of litter picking but I doubt this would be part of an affiliate marketing strategy. The only thing I've been promoting in terms of environmental ideas is Ecosia, a search engine that plant trees with it's advertising revenue. I've been raising awareness of it for years, mostly face to face, but with the coronavirus, I have been raising awareness of it online.
I know that taking on too many products is a seriously bad idea, I speak of experience. I'm sure many entrepreneurs know what Shiny Object Syndrome is like. I'm told to stick to one platform and master it in say, six months.
I've currently got a few things that are free to join and can make a bit of money online but whether they offer financial freedom is simply juries out on them. What doesn't help is the fact that how do you recruit people to join them? Lots of entrepreneurs want to pitch their own ideas instead of giving my products a try, and they promise me good fortune on their pitches but they want me to pay for them. I don't think I'm ready for that.
The problem has not necessarily been the money, although there is a legitimate concern. Financially wise, I'm basically holding on with my benefits covering the cost of my flat, along with a weekend job and my parents are quite well off. My parents have long invested into some estate agency stuff and property business and their pension is invested into the stock market. When they go, I'm inheriting all the money earned out of it. My parents have actually ran a successful business, long before I was born before they decided to go back to the 9-5 jobs. I find it amusing that entrepreneurs comment of hating their 9-5 jobs and became entrepreneurs to escape that fate. My parents are likely to be the other way around.
Say I join at least one of these and I manage to make a lot of money without emotionally breaking down. My parents will say that my benefits will be lost and I may have to pay for the things myself that my benefits have covered and I'll have to go through the micromanagement of taxes and such. I've relied on my parents to handle the details, paperwork and phone calls as I find the whole thing a nightmare. I hate dealing with handling the programs and such. It was a time consuming aggravation to get my software sorted and making sure that there's no problems with the equipment I was given.
Does that mean I may have to let go of a few things? Almost certainly. I can't imagine myself being the same in say 5 years time. Regardless of my choices in the future.
