How Amit, Tom and I Got Together… and My Take on the Super Affiliate Lifestyle

How Amit, Tom and I Got Together…

In one of Amit’s posts, he mentioned that one of the keys to working less and making more money as a super affiliate was to build a winning affiliate team. So how did it all began for us?

Tom was Amit’s client, and Amit was mine ;) To be more precise, by the time I got into the picture, Tom and Amit were already more of a ‘team’.

When I first worked with Amit I knew instantly he was different. He had a list of content needs, the style he wanted me to adopt, what the content was for, etc. Now I work with many clients and it really pains me to see them go about like headless chickens sometimes, asking for this one day, this the next, and then this… just because of what they read yesterday, or an ebook they bought and read last night, or a special free report on this super secret new thing, etc., etc. By Friday, the client is into such a fit that he just gets more and more confused on what he wants! Everything is half-way. Nothing is really successful.

Amit was different. He knew what he wanted and how to achieve it. I met Tom on the same project and immediately liked his professionalism and the sincerity that came across even if we only corresponded via email and had our weekly telecons.

Just like what he did with Tom ;) Amit lost NO time in offering me a percentage of his profits in return for continually working with him and prioritizing his projects. And I reacted exactly like Tom (LOL), I was hesitant due to my bursting schedule. To cut the long story short, I accepted but asked for a month or two to fix my schedule.

So why did I accept? Was it the lure of great moolah? First, it’s B.S. to say that making great money online is not great because you know what? IT IS. However, to make it with people you LIKE and most of all RESPECT, that’s something that just doesn’t come across everyday folks.

As a netpreneur, your instinct may be to “keep it all under tabs”. It’s YOUR ideas, YOUR strategies, and therefore YOUR profits. So much so that you don’t want others ‘dipping their hands into your bowl’. Well, as Amit has been trying to teach you – by example – you will achieve WAY MORE than you are currently earning if you let go a little bit. You cannot be the CEO and the janitor you know. One will suffer and you better pray it’s not the CEO part!

 … and My Take on the Super Affiliate Lifestyle

For those of you who are not successful yet with affiliate marketing, you may be asking “Is all this true?”, “Is it possible indeed to achieve financial freedom from  affiliate marketing?” I can only share my experience.

Each check is a great experience :) but one thing sticks out to me.

I was in Spain. I was sitting in a café overlooking the great, blue sea… my husband sitting just across me. We just came from an internet café where we checked out the stats of one of Amit’s affiliate sites and of which I am a partner. That was the time it REALLY donned on me…

I’m on vacation. I have not turned on my laptop in over a week. And I am STILL earning this much. I thought, as I sit here sipping this coffee, enjoying the sun on my face, I am earning and earning well.

Damn! I love affiliate marketing!
