E Commerce Mentorship

An e commerce mentorship program can help you develop skills to earn online from your digital efforts. On the surface this doesn’t sound like it would be too difficult. But with all the conflicting marketing strategies and products available online, it can become a minefield.

Which products do you use? What does this allow you to use for your marketing? With low value e commerce products, such as physical affiliate products, for example, you only make small commissions (3-11%). This doesn’t leave much scope for marketing. It tends to mean you’ll need to use some free marketing strategy. This can take months or years to come to fruition! Most will quit long before this happens!

An e commerce mentorship can help both in terms of product choice and marketing strategy; and of course the psychology aspect too. With a good business model, you can make far faster progress; especially if it allows the use of paid marketing strategies.

When I started looking into making money from e commerce, I learned affiliate marketing. I did the work but nothing happened and I struggled for years. That was because I was using the wrong business model and the wrong marketing strategies!

Free marketing strategies can take a long time to work. Blogging takes a long time to work, for example. When you don’t get the reassurance that you’re on track, it’s easy to dismiss your efforts and simply give up. E Commerce mentorship can help by giving your the reassurance that you’re on track!

E Commerce Mentorship Program

I found an e commerce mentorship program and met founders Jay Kubassek and Stuart Ross. After some initial scepticism, I was able to overcome many of the issues holding me back online:

Doubt and fear that it wouldn’t work
Uncertainty of my marketing strategy
Using the right business models
Following others who have already succeeded online (modelling success)
Focusing on what I wanted to happen, rather than doubts and fear

Using The Right Business Models

When I first started in the affiliate marketing space I use affiliate marketing. One of the first programs I joined was Amazon. But Amazon only pays its affiliates 3-11% commission on any of its products. This means all of my marketing strategies had to be free! As mentioned already, free strategies take time and are incredibly slow.

I learned to use a better business model instead:

High Ticket Digital Products – Digital products typically pay much more commissions than physical products (40%+)
Recurring income products – memberships and software products allow you to earn recurring income from each customer. See recurring commission affiliate programs.
Multi-tier commissions – earn from sales made by your referrals.
A product range – gives you the ability to earn from existing customers when they order another product
A built in sales team.

See SFM digital business system for more on this.

Mental Blocks To Success

Besides the business model variations online, there’s another hidden blockage to your success. It’s in your mind. When you can follow other successful online entrepreneurs and do what they do, you know you are on track. But it’s usually fear which holds people from doing this. “What if’s” are the splinters in your mind which stop you from doing the things successful online marketers do.

What if it doesn’t work? I’ll lose money! “What if it’s a scam?”, or “what if I fail?”.

A poverty mindset can stop you taking the right actions in an online business because you’re afraid you’ll lose money or lose face if you fail. Old mental “loops” of thinking will keep you stuck forever if you don’t uncover the perpetrator and banish it! See why affiliate marketing does not work!

Get Mentored

If you’re serious about making a serious income online, or even a part time income, it’s well worth getting the right training and support. I struggled for years online and it was only through the support that I was eventually able to make it work.
