What is the difference between a $10,000,000 affiliate launch and one that keeps capping out at 1/2 or lowers that size? Well, we studied the differences between the two and it's probably not what you think. And these lessons apply whether you are running a $1,000,000 launch now or a $100 launch.

If you've ever doubted that you can be successful with your online business, this episode is for you. If you've watched others launch their business or product and thought, "that will never be me," this episode is for you. Today, I'll share why I KNOW you'll be successful with your online business. At one time or another, we all have doubts. We think that we don’t have enough experience. Or that we have the wrong kind. We think that our platform is too small. Or that the costs are too high. We tell ourselves, “I’m not like so-and-so.” We tell ourselves that we aren’t interesting enough or that we aren’t skilled enough. We prevent ourselves from taking the steps we need to take to be successful. In short, we lie to ourselves and cripple ourselves. Lynda J. Keagan wrote to me recently with this: I am the founder of Journal Writers, the largest journaling community on Google+. For a couple of years, I wasn’t doing much. Mostly because I was afraid of success. It seemed intimidating to me. I have conquered my fears, and now I’m doing my best to go full force in offering my creative services. I responded back to her and as I often do, I knew that more people were struggling with that same fear, doubts and intimidation. I knew that many others were downplaying their own experiences, successes, and abilities, just like Lynda was. Key Takeaways To overcome the doubts preventing you from succeeding in your online business: 1. Look to your past. You have more skills, experiences, and abilities than you give yourself credit for. 2. Give yourself credit for starting. The reality is that 99.9% of people will never get their first email subscriber. They will never write their first book. They will never record their first video. Take a moment to acknowledge the progress you’ve already made. You started and that is more than most people will ever do. 3. Don’t compare yourself to others. I didn’t mention this in the video, but the biggest mistake you can make is to compare your beginning or middle to someone else’s polished end. I love what Steven Furtick says about this insecurity: The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel. Focus on your own race and run it your way. You’ll get to your finish line soon enough.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about how to get past failure. Failure in a promotion, failure in business, failure in all kinds of things. The problem with failure is that most people handle it wrong. They respond in the wrong way and then change course. Rather than trying the same thing again, they think they have to try something new. Today, I'll share how successful people bounce back from failure and how you can, too.

Well, you first take out the people who already bought the product. That’s 20 people. Down to 480. Then you take out the people who never clicked to the sales page. That gets us down to 300 or so. Then take out the people who only clicked once. That eliminates another 150-ish. Down to about 30% of optins, or 150 people. Target THEM! How do you get the phone numbers? 1. If buyers and you use a CRM, boom. 2. WhitePages.com - reverse lookup by email, etc. 3. ASK THEM!

One of the greatest conversion-booster for this launch will be some KILLER video Case Studies, showcasing ordinary people getting extraordinary results with our coaching program. So while we hit a home run in October, this upcoming launch should perform even better! This course is an in-demand resource for bloggers, consultants, coaches, Internet Marketers, Social Media experts, and “Platform Builders” who know the power of direct response copywriting… but who can’t afford to hire a top-flight copywriter. Price $1997 Course includes lifetime access to the members area, the right to download and keep all materials, and major bonuses. Affiliate Commission You get big rewards for helping your list… 40% for each course sale (roughly $800). Plus it’s a lifetime cookie, so this could benefit you for months or even years.  We had affiliates who promoted the first launch earn major conversions during the second launch just from traffic they sent during the first launch! PLUS…some awesome prizes that we will announce later. Promotional Resources You’ll have everything you need — done for you and ready to go: Swipe copy for email and social media. Banner ads and more will be provided as well. Important Dates  February 5-23, 2018 We will have more information on PLC content, etc. as we get closer to the launch.

I learned a valuable lesson from Andy Stanley years ago that I'm practicing right now. I'm taking a quick break while recording some videos for new buyers from an affiliate offer we recently promoted.

Jennie from Little Girl Designs asked me about segmenting her list to better target content and promotions. Here is my answer. Jennie asked:  So, question about segmenting my list. I do it but I don't necessarily sent out content per each segment on a weekly basis. Do you regularly send content to each of these segments to keep the list warm or because they're already receiving your main newsletter content, just keep it at that unless you have something really specific? Curious about your thoughts.
