A friend of mine posted this on Facebook and I just had to write a post about it!
So many people who have not yet made it online (and even some who are starting to) come up to me and ask me what my secret is. You know, the one magical secret that I must never tell anyone about how to REALLY succeed with affiliate marketing!
This is even more common for those of us who release guides or ebooks about a subject such as making money online. Your guide is only ? Oh... you must have left the secret out. I can't tell you how many times I got accused of this when I launched my Facebook Ads Guide from people who did not purchase the guide. "For $79, you MUST have left the magic secret out."
Truth be told, I didn't leave out any magical formula or unknown secret in my guide. The main ingredient that separates successful from unsuccessful is learning how to handle failure. So many affiliates who are starting out fail, fail, fail and then give up.
Did you know that I failed for 3+ years at making money online? Yup... over 3 years of trying, testing, failing, and more failing. But because I had a passion for making money online... even when I was making none, I continued at it. Because of that, I am fortunate enough to be able to work online full time and have for the past three and a half years!
*Zac Johnson fans even fail!*
Quick Story
The other day a friend of mine got a request from another friend asking if he knew how I was making money online. His reply was basically... "he doesn't tell me his secret." I wanted to say, "Um... I don't have a secret formula or something..." It was frustrating because not only have I given him my Affiliate marketing guide resource, I've also offered a copy of my Facebook Ads Guide...
The most annoying part is the friend that said I never gave him my secret has NEVER failed at making a campaign in his life. Well... that's because he's never made a campaign... Nope, not even one.
So I guess from now on, when people ask me what my secret is... I'll be sure to tell them...
failure.
