This Affiliate Business . Part 10
Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

Continued from previous blog post
There are a whole lot of programs and systems out, or videos even, that help inspire people. Inspiration is great. BUT, what will you do and what can you do with that inspiration? It helps people too! To help them re-think their life’s map!
So the health issues that I have had and the other problems that came after it? It was my faith in God, yes, and I stumbled upon Dave Wood’s video…. it was JUST WHAT I didn’t even know that I was looking for!
One of my other friends (who also didn’t believe in Empower Network and did everything she could and say to distract me from doing this business), I quit talking to her… I focused on how I can learn new skills at Empower Network.
And then a year later, she sent me a message – she saw the number of people, those who do not PERSONALLY know me, but who reads my blogs, and adds website traffic to my websites, the number of people who “follow my blog posts” – she now sees my “dream of helping more people en masse” coming into fruition.
She now understands it, because I said when I started here, that I prayed about my decision to join, and I had those good intentions with it. And of course, the commissions? I just felt good to know that IT WORKED too!
This Affiliate Business
This is NOT a difficult affiliate business to be in. It requires work, yes, but because it is an ONLINE business, people have a choice, they can buy, if they want to buy, there’s no hard selling. Or they can just read blogs.
Their own time will come when they are happy to make that decision and take that leap of faith. Because, if I can do this? So can they!
If you had a choice to work on an online business, what will you much rather get involved in, one that pays anything less than 100% Commissions, or one that pays 100% Commissions? It’s a no-brainer for me that’s why I joined the Affiliate Business, too. 🙂
If there is a problem with a product, guess what the best thing to do is… consult the manual!
Because we have these technological advances, but humanity?
It hasn’t changed one bit – what do we do? Consult the Creator’s Manual – God’s Word – The Bible.
So, if you want to go into this Affiliate Business? Same thing… there is a Knowledge Base, there is Customer Support, there are FAQs… point people to the right resources so that they can make their own informed decisions.
Are they going to work their own independent affiliate business? That’s on them.
Will they blog daily? That’s on them, too! There are those who JUST blog daily.
There are those who JUST market daily. But if you ask me, if I will join an affiliate, all over again? I will join someone who actually uses the product / the blog. I will join with someone who has a sense of loyalty and commitment and one who is consistent. I will join with someone who actually attend events.
I get a lot of emails from people – it gets screened – but some get forwarded to me for a response, the spammy ones or the “stalker like” emails, don’t even reach me, except this last one and I was advised to seek help from the police, too. 🙂
There are systems in place for any online business, and a lot of people undermine that. I guess I downplay my I.T. skills, but that’s better, you don’t reveal all of it.
We all laughed so hard when a stalker like message (from the same man, WROTE – I mean how deranged can anybody get – that he wrote “condescend”, and then wrote “I love you. I need to hear from you….” – I assume he knew what that meant…. it means “to put aside one’s dignity or superiority voluntarily and assume equality with one regarded as inferior” – he was so high up there, and I was so down there!
The harassment got real scary, that for a while, I did not publish my blog posts. But, the only healthy fear, is fear of God, right? EVERYTHING else comes from the evil one.
Because, guess what… I blog and blog about what I have realized and experienced about how God has helped me through my troubles. And I am sharing my lessons here, too, and if there was a great quote from the Bible that I have read, I even search for it, the exact bible verse and put a direct link to the website that publishes the bible online.
And what’s my point there? So that MORE people can also check out the Bible! The Creator God’s Word! Guests on my blog can do check out the exact verses, too and see that I am not brazenly quoting a verse out of context! They themselves, can check it out, too!
And who will I get to antagonize in the process? Well, that “self-professed prophet, who came down from his self-built throne, who is now stalking me, and attempted to instill fear and cause massive distraction to me and my team.”
The usual questions have been asked, because at first I was responding to them one by one… (It took time out away from what I should be using for blogging)… so I ended up creating blog posts, and then simply send people to “the resource” or the tool I created that answers their questions.
Because I have noticed this …. you can explain something-to-death to someone … BUT, if you get the sense that they are just wasting your time, why waste your limited time?
There are questions that GOOGLE can easily answer! That was why, I blogged about “How To’s” and created quick tutorials on it.
But the first thing I tell people is – JUST START! Just blog! Just watch the training videos! Follow the 8 Core Commitments! Listen to the weekly Empower Hour Conference Calls! Attend the LIVE Events!
Why?
Because that’s all there is to it – it is SIMPLE! Because that’s what I did and do myself.
I will not dare tell someone to do something that I have not had the courage to do myself. And if I can do it, so can they, so can you.
First LOG IN, navigate through your Empower Network Back Office, go through the training videos, DO the 8 Core Commitment, read the Knowledge Base… and when you have more questions that are not in the Knowledge base, or not in my FAQ Video Tutorials, you can call the Customer Support Line.
There’s no babysitting here.
Either you are IN business, or you the business is INSIDE of you.
How does the latter happen? Acquire new skills that you can learn from the Training Products.
That’s it.
I don’t have to explain to ANYBODY what’s the difference between a wordpress blog and an Empower Network blog… why? It’s not a good use of MY time!
And I wrote this in my About Me page
… I will write it again, because I am being truthful here…
… while I value other people’s time? I value my time more! And I am being honest.
I have created enough blog posts and enough videos explaining this business…. just make a decision and you can learn about it, too. I can’t make your decision for you. 🙂 That’s on YOU. 🙂
But I am still in this business, aren’t I? 🙂 After more than a year?
Does that say or prove anything? 🙂
