Counting the cost.
Since starting Affiliate Marketing in Early 2008 I have spent over $5000 in IM courses & tools. I now have an arsenal of software & scripts that leverage my time and profitability.
Just a means to an end?
Was this necessary? For me yes, definitely! In purchasing the various courses I have not only got lifetime upgrades & support BUT more importantly I have personally networked with some of the most brilliant IM minds on the planet. This is worth FAR more than what I have spent and has fast tracked my online success. If I was to summarise its not only finding the best leverage tools, it’s critical to find the right mentors as well.
Who is your mentor today?
Follow the Leader
The most brilliant minds will tell you if you really want to succeed, hang out with those who are already successful. This can be in any walk of life…a truly gifted person is very rare, maybe 0.001% of the population… what makes an expert is someone who has PRACTISED for YEARS and become an authority on the subject, which means YOU can become that expert if you so desire.
Leverage the right tools
SO where is this leading? Well I am constantly evaluating not just what I know but who I know and my recent discovery in the team behind IM Sigma & the awesome tools they are developing has yet again confirmed my belief in following excellence. The release of a tool within the IM world that can discover with such accuracy the depth & breadth of internet traffic sources within a niche & pull out both the online shops & the affiliates THAT ARE EXCELLING in this current downturn…is pure Gold to me. Welcome to the world of the “Competitors Traffic Desk”. As I am in close contact with the developers of this tool I will release more “inside” information as I get it… so stay tuned!
