Colleen Slater.
I just got an email today from one of the people I’m subscribed to, fellow Aussie, Colleen Slater. I didn’t really notice that she’d be quiet for the past few months until I’d received the email from her today.
Apparently, she was embroiled in her legal battle again with her ex-husband and her children, which has been going on for 3 and a half years. 3.5 years! Talk about holding a long grudge! I don’t pretend to know Colleen Slater, but anyone who can make as much as she does online isn’t someone to be messed with. The fact that love empowered her to become Australia’s best niche blogger with 0 experience is also to be commended.
The main thing here is that her income had kept on steadily coming in, WITHOUT her maintenance. That’s an Affiliate Marketer’s ultimate goal. She didn’t have to worry about looking after it and let the dough roll in
Anywho, in other news, I had another mini-brainwave today while walking down to a train platform on the way back home. Everyone says that the greatest asset that everyone has from the day that they’re born is Time. And that’s true. It’s so great because once you spend Time, it’s gone forever. There is no way you can get it back. No dumb jibes about time machines, please. Thank you.
So. How does this apply to Affiliate Marketing? Well, this should actually go into the Incantation post that I drafted last night, but think about it. If you gave people the choice to leave the page, ie. you actually said, “if at any time on this page you find it unhelpful, click out of this window. Thank you!” Be grateful for people actually visiting your site at all. I’ll refine this post later when I get around to writing my Incantation post.
The main thing I want to say about this sort of mindset is that not only does it help you bond with your prospects, it also FORCES you to become a better Marketer. Think about it. If you don’t want to waste your prospects’ time, you want to offer them the best possible information, ie. giving them exactly what they need fullstop.
You don’t want to waste your own time by spending either a short amount of time writing a scrappy review that sounds spammy and increases your bounce rate, nor do you want to spend hours procrastinating and putting up a poor review that sends your customers around in circles and inevitably off your landing page. A time-oriented focus will benefit all parties involved.
Oh by the way, if you’re a stay-at-home mother wanting to make it big in the online industry, turn to Colleen Slater for a bit of inspiration and advice!
