CHAPTER 4
HOW TO GUARANTEE SUCCESS
AS AN AFFILIATE
To succeed as an affiliate marketer, you need to equip yourself with the right mindset
from the word “go.” Here’s how:
1. Set a Goal and Keep it in Focus
Give yourself something to aim for. Write down where you want to be in six months:
How much passive income do you want to be generating? How many websites do you
want to create? How many articles do you want to write for your blogs?
2. Balance Research and Action
There are a lot of resources, websites and experts on the topic of making money online.
There are also hundreds of different ways to do it, but the only way you’ll ever succeed
with any of them is to see one through to the end.
We’re not saying to keep a closed mind to new ideas and strategies, but make sure you
balance your research with real, tangible action. Try to spend 20 percent of your time
learning, and 80 percent of your time actually DOING.
If you purchase a course, or subscribe to a particular strategy, make sure you actually go
through with it. Don’t fill your computer — or your head — with courses you’ve never
completed.

3. Be Patient and Enjoy the Ride!
Your affiliate empire will not come about after a few days sitting in front of your
computer. Give yourself a chance! Stick with it.There is no point worrying about what
might or might not happen in the future. If you hit a setback, take it in your stride.
