Your vision of your business determines how much money you’ll make along with how much time you’ll spend each day working.
It all has to do with one thing…Leverage.
The ideal business in my opinion would be to have a ClickBank product like fatloss4idiots.com that made 21 million in 2009.
I don’t know their entire marketing strategy, but I imagine it’s mainly this…
A lot of affiliates pounding your offer with traffic all day while you handle customer service.
And that’s IT.
What’s the leverage lesson from this product?
If you have a hot product and high converting sales page in a mass market, you may find yourself living the life.
Imagine outsourcing to a few virtual assistants who handle all your customer support and affiliate support while ClickBank pays all affiliates plus you, and you have the TIME to do what you want.
You could be on a permanent vacation if you want.

This simple model is so obvious, yet why don’t marketers act on it?
Maybe it’s because they don’t think they have the credibility or they can’t create a product?
If you check out fatloss4idiots.com, there’s not even an author, there aren’t any proof elements.
Yet it did 21 million last year!
As for a product, what’s stopping you from buying private label rights to a niche product, rebranding it, and just writing an amazing sales page for it and tweaking it for the highest conversion rate possible?
What’s stopping you from launching products especially when you can get rights to a niche product for $20 then resell it for $47?
Are PLR products good quality?
There are some amazing PLR products and here’s why…
There are so many experts out there who come up with amazing products BUT they don’t know how to sell!
So many of them just end up selling rights to their products to other marketers for chump change.
————————————-
It’s funny because the most profitable things online are OBVIOUS.
You have a product and you get others to market your product for you while you make sales and build a nice big buyers list.
Then you use that buyers list to sell more of your own products and affiliate products.
————————————-
Option #2:
Another ideal business in my opinion is being an affiliate who does this…
*Has found a few high converting and high paying continuity programs.
*Has an eye for high converting sales pages to promote.
*Is focused on generating a list of leads.
*Is highly joint venture focused.
You may find you’re making thousands of dollars per month while working half-days.
…IF you successfully leverage joint ventures to grow at an amazing rate.
Or you may even be a PPC or CPA traffic buff.

Just keep in mind that it’s more profitable and easier to have 2000 affiliates showing up in YOUR merchant stats rather than being 1 of 2000 affiliates showing up in another merchant’s stats.
———————————
Have the business vision that’s going to grant you the income and the amount of free time you wish to have on your hands.

Option #3:
Sell coaching packages in markets like Online Business, Weight Loss, and Relationships.
It doesn’t take more than a handful of coaching packages sold per month to do very well online.
There are wealthy people who come from the offline world who just want to have theirhands held.
They jump online and they want to get on the fast track.
As for coaching other Internet Marketers, you’ll be teaching them many basic things… hosting, setting up a website, product creation, traffic generation…
The main perk is making money before you even have to deliver the work. And you can charge $1,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 or more for a coaching package.
What’s the downside?
You’ll find you’re spending 8-12 hour days fulfilling and preping your coaching sessions.
But it’s a model you may consider if you enjoy it, don’t care about how much time you spend working, and just want big bucks.
Coaching is not for me at least…
Option #1 and #2, even if you make less, are better in my opinion since I value time above all else.
When I coached around 40 clients in 2008, I felt completely drained every day.
But heck, some people like it.
I prefer different forms of leveraging, even if it means less income.
I'm sorry - you can't simply call this "Affiliate Training"
or even Advanced Affiliate Training! You are handing over the goods to an ENTIRE business model - complete with the foundational principles that 95% of all online marketers miss or skip. (Being totally honest here - you pointed out a few things that even I've missed in my
own affiliate marketing endeavors!) I'm blown away at how comprehensive you've been in assembling ALL the pieces of the "profit pie" in a concise, easy to follow, step-by-step formula. This is a no-brainer and the contents in this package far exceed what I've seen a lot of people pay $1000s for in conventional coaching programs. It does my heart good to see two people who aren't turning people lose into a sea of confusion and only revealing half of the picture. You guys covered it all in style!
I was literally blown away by the amount of content you were able to share in just 3 hours. It's truly refreshing to see people who are sharing information on
what's working right NOW based on REAL numbers and REAL results. While others still seem to cover the "same old information", you've laid out a real step by step plan that works, and reveal tips and
tricks I've never heard shared anywhere else! I honestly believe that anyone who gets this course will not only be
successful, but by following your tips on optimizing the entire business model, your members will be making a killing in no time!"
I just finished going though your affiliate training course and
I must say, you guys have really outdone yourselves with this one... IT'S AWESOME! The information you let go in this training course is exactly
what people need to know to get their affiliate marketing
business off the ground. I wish I would've had this info when I first started out... you should be charging more for it.
I definitely will be recommending this to my readers...
Wow Jason! I just finished that video and it is amazing! I was expecting to just watch it real quick, thinking that I wouldn't learn
anything new. But man, I found myself taking 5 pages worth of notes and reconfiguring some of the ways I currently do business. You really do drop some golden nuggets of information
here. You could easily break this stuff up, spread it out over 3 months, and sell it as a continuity product. I feel like I just got a personal coaching session. This really is great work. This isn't me just BSing and kissing your a** either. I really did learn a lot and I
think I'm going to have a much more profitable business for it. Just the resources and links that you give out make this so valuable. You honestly really over-delivered!
This is by far and away the most comprehensive course on Affiliate Marketing I've ever seen. For newbies it answers a lot of questions that often stop them getting started in the first place. But it's not
just for newbies, I'm sure a lot of experienced affiliates don't know a lot of this stuff! Some of the resources in the accompanying PDF I had not seen before, this alone is a very useful part of the package. The bonus Squeeze Page Crusher video is an extremely valuable addition to
the package with some surprising and counter intuitive test results. I
wonder how many squeeze pages out there could benefit from the conversion boosts you guys got?
