How's Your Affiliate Marketing Going?
Learning affiliate marketing can be tricky....and trying to help a large group of people learn affiliate marketing can be really tricky, too. I like to touch base with my friends and see how it's going so I can figure out how to help you better in the future.
If you have a few spare minutes, could you answer the following 11 questions for me please?
All responses in the poll area are anonymous so feel free to be honest. If you'd like to publicly expand on your answers, feel free to use the comment areas located throughout this page.
I appreciate your time very much!
1. Your Earnings
2. How Long Have You Been Working Online?
3. Your First Sale

Tell Your First Sale Story
I remember my first sale... a whopping $7.00! But you woulda thought I hit the lottery ;)
It was a defining moment for me, tho... If I could make $7.00, then I could make anything I put my mind to.
Want to share the story of your first sale and what it meant to you? I'd love to hear it!
(please, no affiliate links or self-promotional links...thank you)

4. How Much Do You Need?
I remember when I was learning affiliate marketing that I would look at the income screenshots of the "gurus" and think...
"If I could only make a percentage of that, I could pay my bills and not have to get a 'real' job".
What is that amount for you?
5. Your Investments
We buy training, and tools, and domain names, and all kinds of stuff in our industry.....
6. Your Biggest Issue
7. Your RoadBlocks

It's different for all of us, but we each will find there is one thing that is like a brick wall for us.
Talk About Issues and RoadBlocks

- whoever got into a roadblock should know - outsourcing is the way to do it, or practicing it hard enough. unless you are going for a super competitive niche - motivation and knowledge is your fuel and you can do it.

- Ifeel my biggest problem is staying focused. We travel a great deal and some times I do not have internet connections. When I do get hooked up again, it takes me quite a long time to get through all my email. I know I should just delete a lot of it, and I do. But as I am a slow reader, I get lost in the maze of it all. I really try to stay focused on reading only mail from folks like you, Mike Dillard, Katie Freiling and a couple other mentors. I have a few goals that I would like to attain within the very near futher. I just need to get on with it. Thank you so much for your caring ways and everything you do to try helping others.

- I have bought a ton of courses, including yours. I "think" I get it, but then when I sit down to get my "new business" going, I stop cold. I don't know what to do first. I have bought domain names, signed up with host gator, signed up with clickbank, etc. I attempt to find a niche that fits "criteria" and I get stuck.
I get overwhelmed on what to do first. I don't know what to WRITE on my "page" and then I get confused...can I put the same article on my webpage and then submit it to ezine articles or is that a duplicate??? How do I write like an expert on a product or subject that I am not an expert on?
Pretty soon I get overwhelmed and I get stuck again. So...what do I do??? I go purchase another product that will surely show me exactly how to get myself online and making some money.
I am very frustrated...with myself...with what feels like ignorance on something that everyone else seems to be getting done.

9. Your Lists
10. Problems With the 8 Steps
To me, the basic affiliate marketing sales process breaks down into 8 steps. While product first/market first is a "chicken or the egg" type question, for this poll we will start with finding the product you want to sell and then take it from there.
11. Why?

Anything You'd Like To Add?
Feel free to speak openly about affiliate marketing... it could not only help me learn how to teach better, you could help others who are in the same situation as yourself.
