Golden Goose Marketing

A lot of us are very concerned with training courses and simple affiliate marketing systems, but there’s actually a better “affiliate marketing system” that anyone can take advantage of.  It goes back to our days in school and the “buddy system”.  Remember that?  The teachers would pair off students so everyone would have a better chance of getting back to the classroom.  The same thing applies with affiliate marketing.  If you pair off with another affiliate, you’re going to have a much better chance of achieving profitability.

But why is it so much better to have a partner?  There are a few reasons.  First, a partner holds you accountable.  If you don’t do any work on your affiliate campaigns, your partner is going to nag you.  If you get frustrated, your partner can help you through it.  If you have a question, you suddenly have two brains to pick instead of just your own.  And of course, by providing those benefits to someone else, you’re diminishing the inherent loneliness in working on a computer by yourself all day.

Of course, an affiliate partner can also dramatically improve your networking.  By having a close friend in the industry, you’ll gain access to their network, and you’ll be able to pair others in your network up with your partner as is appropriate.  It makes you more of a “connector” and people tend to remember that kind of help.

In general, there’s no good reason to avoid meeting other affiliates and cultivating close relationships with those that fit you best.  Whether you meet them on message boards, chat rooms, or real life events, the important thing is that you have someone to share the day-to-day grind with.
