There is a different way of thinking to an affiliate marketer than an average person.

Let me rephrase that.

There is a different way of thinking to a successful affiliate marketer than the average person.

I’m going to call this the Spend Factor.

Just for example, I know affiliates who spend $2,000 a day and make $900. Many of you do much more and some even less. Still the principle remains the same. You have a spend amount that hopefully produces a certain number for results.

To the normal person, they don’t get this. This is why they work for the money they make, spend it and it’s gone. Once spent – the money leaves. Nothing is left but a product in its place or a full belly after a meal.

When you take money and put it to work (example: stocks, real estate or affiliate marketing strategies) you are creating opportunity for your money to work for you.

You are taking that money and planting a seed that hopefully produces more money. That planted money is money you can’t spend. It’s working money. Many people do not understand this principle.

If you leave it there and keep the money working, whether in media buys, ppc campaigns or buying new ips, the process hopefully continues.

Honestly, this way of thinking isn’t normal in the general public. To many people it doesn’t make sense to spend $2,000 to make $900. So they will work 8 hours a day to make $100.

Herein lays the success to our industry as well. 

So the next time you increase your Spend amount – you’re just planting a bigger tree for bigger results.

Build a forest!
