Start An Online Business From Scratch – Startup Mentorship Program

If you’ve no experience of building an online business, The SFM offers a complete ‘all-in-one’ package which offers a digital business system, a range of products and all the training, tools and education you’ll need to build an online business, without any prior knowledge.

The SFM business system (see digital success mentoring program), offers a range of digital products to sell and a step by step tutorial process for setting it all up. You can earn from this sales funnel (see ready made sales funnel) through a business model known as affiliate marketing.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a business model in which ‘affiliates’ can promote and sell other people’s products on the internet. When a sale is made, the sale is tracked back to the affiliate who referred the sale via their unique affiliate link. They earn a commission from the sale, even though they don’t personally own the products themselves.

Affiliate marketers can promote almost any product you can find on the internet. Providing a product or service has an affiliate program, anyone can join the program, promote the product and earn commissions based on the sale.

Not all affiliate programs are equal though. For example, digital products tend to pay much larger commissions than physical products. Typically, physical products pay 3-10% commissions to affiliates whereas digital products can pay 40-50% commissions.

That’s because physical products carry more costs including postage, manufacturing and handling costs. Digital products don’t have such high costs so they can pass the savings on the affiliates who promote them.

What’s Involved In An Online Business?

startup mentorship program — Stuart Ross Explains How Software Takes Much Of The Technical Difficulty Out Of Starting An Online Business

An online business can be built from anywhere using a sales funnel, digital products and a marketing ‘engine’. With the right kind of products, you can earn considerably more than with the ‘wrong’ kinds of products, too.

As you can see in the video (click image above), much of the technical aspect of building these systems has been removed. This makes a ‘startup online business’ much more accessible to anyone, even without any experience.

There’s still things to learn though, even after setting up the fundamental systems which will help you sell products over the internet. The main focus once you’ve done that is marketing your sales funnel. Marketing can be done in a variety of ways including both content marketing and paid marketing strategies.

Benefits Of A Digital Product Range – Startup Mentorship Program

A digital product range can give you an instant business model which has the benefit of:

Total geographical freedom – work from anywhere from a laptop.
The ability to sell over the internet to anyone globally – no postage or delivery problems with digital products since they can be downloaded from the internet.
The ability to scale up sales, once you reach a profitable marketing model

Once your business model is in place you need to learn online marketing strategies to find customers for your business. This takes quite a bit of understanding and learning and this is where you need help from a mentor. Without the proper help and advice, this can be a very lonely and difficult road to travel.

Online marketing is a skill and like any other skill it needs to be learned over time. This process is much faster when learning from others who have already done what you need to do.

Affiliate Marketing Mentor

It’s worth getting an affiliate marketing mentor for a number of reasons. Firstly, affiliate marketing is a difficult thing to get right. Despite what many affiliate will tell you; it’s not easy! It’s particularly not easy if you intend to make a full time living from affiliate marketing; which can be done.

But without the proper mentor, affiliate marketing will be much, much harder.

Why Get An Affiliate Marketing Mentor?

My journey with affiliate marketing started over 10 years ago. I jumped from one ‘system’ to another, frantic to make some money from the internet. What I found was disappointment after disappointment! I don’t want the same for you! You can benefit from all the time I spent and the mistakes I made!

See 23 mistakes newbie affiliates should avoid.

A simple way to avoid all of these mistakes is to get a mentor and join an online community where you’ll get the help you need. See digital success mentoring program. You can still go wrong of course, no matter what you do. Affiliate marketing is a great business model when it’s working. But it’s a really frustrating one when it isn’t.

By joining an online community, you can learn from people who are actually earning online. One of the main problems with affiliate marketing is all the help and advice out there isn’t necessarily coming from people who have ‘walked the walk’ themselves. Often it’s from newbie affiliates themselves, trying to make a buck!

Problems With Affiliate Marketing

There’s a few problems with affiliate marketing which can be avoided with the right mentor. Here’s a short list but also see Why Affiliate Marketing Does Not Work:

Overwhelm – there’s too much information on the internet about affiliate marketing. If you start subscribing to many lists, you’ll be inundated and this leads to information overload – then comes inactivity!
Shiny Object Syndrome – Every affiliate marketer promises some ‘easier system’ which out performs the last. If you keep buying into this lie, you’ll be struggling forever, jumping from one product to another.
Being a busy fool – affiliate marketers need to learn how to control their time. Focusing on money producing activities is vital to begin earning as an affiliate. Otherwise you can spend all day on unimportant takes and never make any money.
9 to 5 thinking teaches us that despite our productivity we still get paid. With affiliate marketing it’s different. You need to be productive or you won’t get paid. Old habits can hinder our progress and we need to start thinking like an entrepreneur, not a ‘technician’. Work on yourself and on your business, don’t get caught up working ‘in’ your business.
Growth is aways limited by your thinking – that’s why you need a mentor. You can’t see what you don’t know; a mentor can!

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a business strategy which allows anyone to promote and sell other people’s products over the internet via recommendations. If they make a sale based on a recommendation or referral, they earn a commission. Their sale is tracked through their own unique affiliate link, and they are credited for the sale. With the rise on online purchases, affiliate marketing is a good strategy to use to benefit from the growing digital economy.

What Does SFM’s Digital Success Mentoring Program Involve?

The SFM offers a number of opportunities to develop an understanding of digital marketing. One of the best ways to learn digital marketing is through promoting The SFM program itself. The tools and education available through The SFM can also be used in an existing business, if you already have one, or to promote other affiliate products.

The SFM’s own digital products range offers a strategy for affiliate marketers to benefit from a number of digital product sales and strategies. With affiliate marketing, you can promote any product on the internet. With The SFM product range, there are some advantages:

A range of digital products – digital products typically pay more than physical products – 40-50% compared with 3-10% for physical product promotion.
Subscription products which pay ongoing commissions – this is a massive key to earning consistently through affiliate marketing.
High Ticket Products – The SFM product range includes a number of high ticket items which you can promote according to the products you purchase for your ‘digital store’. High ticket sales help you offset paid marketing and scale up more quickly and easily than low value items.
Up-sells – A range of products to promote to existing customers which are closed by an in-house sales team on your behalf. (Most affiliate programs pay you once and never for further purchases made by your referral at a later date.)
Multi-tier sales – earn commissions based on sales made by your team.

Most affiliate companies only pay you once for a sale. With a range of products like this, you can benefit from ongoing sales to existing customers.
