Motivation to keep on going in AM (4)

Hi, a question that i'm wondering for all these while which i would be really interested to know from Affiliates. What kinds of motivation that constantly keeps you going on in Affiliate Marketing even in the hard times? I'll be very upfront with you, the strongest motivation for me to keep on going in Affiliate Marketing is to hope that i could buy myself my very first car of my own. Which is a Mercedes-Benz E250 (W212 facelift). Let's just say that i have a soft spot in cars.

Stackman, BBrock and myself were asked this question during an interview with Viperchill.

When things don’t work out in campaigns, say you’re losing money or you don’t even know if you believe that making money online is possible, what keeps you going? What stopped you from just throwing in the towel?

Mr. Green “I’m a very competitive person so I leverage that competitive nature by surrounding myself with successful people. Through mastermind groups, and the infamous STM forum. This works for me in two ways; firstly I get constant feedback from people actually making money online and secondly it pushes me to beat their success.

To those people who are unsure if people make money online then I’d advise you to browse to Facebook, Google, Youtube or your favorite adult entertainment site. Every single one of those sites are riddled with ads people are making money from. As soon as you stop seeing those ads, please call me. I will start applying for a new job.”

Stackman “For me it was easy to never throw in the towel.

- First I generated revenue from ads and websites before affiliate marketing, so I had a taste of what was possible.

- Second, I had a real life friend making more money then I could imagine at the time so i knew it was the real deal.

- A lot of my early Adwords campaigns completely failed, and I wanted to quit, but I knew I had to make it work.

My goal was big time freedom! You need a goal, other than $xxx/day. A real goal will help you try and try again until you make it work.

The only thing you need to learn is to never give up. No one makes it work in the first week, some do in the first month maybe but throw all of that aside because it doesn’t matter how fast some others have made it work. All you need to know is it’s possible and quite easy with the right mindset.

The right mindset is:

- Giving yourself 3 months to try at least 20 different campaigns

- Realize you need to come up with unique concepts and ideas and not just steal others’ campaigns. I’m not just saying this either. If you’re the second guy stealing a campaign concept from the inventor, then yes maybe it’ll work. 99% though will be the 50th or 500th copycat and at that point you stand no chance of making money with it.

- Test, test, test. Test thousands of ads, hundreds of landing pages and never think you’ve tested enough.”

Bbrock “I think that goes back to me just being positive. I don’t linger and think about failures over and over, I tend to move on faster than for example my friends who tend to over think. I guess being an entrepreneur is kind of like that.”

Affiliate Marketing is just a way to reach a higher level in your life.
For me, Freedom, kids, earning more money then the average person.
To reach that, for now it's affiliate marketing, maybe in a few years it will be something else.
