Today's post is going to be pretty short and simple since my last post was packed with a lot of information. Nevertheless, following the advice in this message is a vital step in building a successful internet marketing business - you'll fail in internet marketing if you don't follow this one simple rule.
A lot of people getting started in this industry think affiliate marketing is as simple as posting an affiliate link, driving traffic through that link, and giggling all of the way to the bank.
Rather than trying to make money off of your subscribers, you should be focusing 100% on making their lives better. Deliver value to your subscribers and they will follow you anywhere you go. That's the kind of email list you want, not just a quick "one-off" where you make $20 or $30. Don't treat your email list like a piggy bank.
You can NEVER stop delivering value in your emails, articles, or blog posts. The first time you do it, you will risk that subscriber never opening another email from you. You can't build your relationship with a subscriber if they never open your emails, which means you'll never convert that subscriber into any sort of revenue. But that shouldn't be your focus.
This means don't ever create, "Check out this great new product" emails or blog posts. They'll stop opening your messages and visiting your website in no time. Only send emails that add value to your followers' lives and teach them something that they need to know.
If there's a great product that TRULY makes their lives better (not just because it makes you money) send it to them and explain to them how much it's improved your life and why it will improve theirs.
Your blog posts, articles, and emails will probably be lessons of some kind. For example, if you're running a site in the diet niche you may send out an email that explains how calorie counting works, how there are 3,500 calories in a pound, and simple passing up on 350 calories 10x per week will shrink your belly by 4 pounds a month.
If you're in the golf niche, maybe you want to send a "5 Ways to Improve your Swing and Hit the Ball an Extra 100 feet... OVERNIGHT" email. If you promise it, you HAVE to deliver it otherwise you're letting your followers down and losing a little of their trust.
Add incredible value with your blog post or don't publish it. Add extraordinary value with your email or don't send it. It's as simple as that.
Run your business by this one simple rule and you'll make it sooner or later.
That's it for today's lesson! It's a simple one, but burn it into your mind and don't ever lose sight of it.

It's not that easy. Seriously not remotely.
This myth was started by crappy affiliate marketing programs all over the internet, but the real way you make money in this industry is by delivering valuable content. I mentioned that in the last article too, but what does that actually mean?Rather than trying to make money off of your subscribers, you should be focusing 100% on making their lives better.

Make sure all of your content creates an "Aha!" moment for your followers, and you'll be making money in this industry in no time.
Remember, don't treat your followers like a check you're trying to cash. Add value to their lives and focus on long-term relationships. Every once in awhile you'll come across a product that truly helps them and improves their lives, and recommending it to them (after you've already helped them with several tips, awesome lessons, and valuable content) is almost a sure-fire commission if you've done everything correctly.Add incredible value with your blog post or don't publish it. Add extraordinary value with your email or don't send it. It's as simple as that.
