Affiliate Marketing Mentorship

Joining an affiliate marketing mentorship program is one of the best things you can do to achieve success online. Without help, affiliate marketing can be a complete nightmare! Before finding an affiliate marketing mentorship group, I struggled for years with affiliate marketing. Get help by signing up on this site for the free video series.

You’ll find the same mentors who helped me achieve success online through affiliate marketing. To promote products online and earn commissions is simple when you know how; but can be very difficult if you don’t!

Affiliate Marketing Mentorship – What Affiliate Marketing Is Not

A lot of people come into the affiliate marketing space looking for a quick buck. I was the same when I first started. I got dazzled by the excessive claims and the “fast money” courses. Unfortunately most of what I tried didn’t work. At best, I ran into a lot of problems.

I didn’t get any traffic to my websites, I got advertising accounts shut down, I got lost in the maze of continuous learning. Many of the problems I encountered would have been avoided (or quickly resolved) had I had access to other affiliates ahead of me on the journey.

But I was all alone. It took me years before I got the help I so desperately needed.

Affiliate marketing is an awesome way to make money – when it works. But until it works it’s just a series of difficulties and struggles. Most of what you do doesn’t work. There seems to be no reward for a lot of work, at least that was my experience. That’s why so many just give up – they don’t get anywhere. A mentorship program and community of support has changed that for me. It could do the same for you too!

Affiliate Marketing Mentorship – Stuart And Jay

Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek founded the SFM in 2010. They created an online community and mentorship program for people who want to transition into digital entrepreneurs. Since then, thousands of people have joined the community and have accessed online training and resources from all around the world.

But what’s different about the SFM to any of the other digital profit courses I took prior to finding them? Before the SFM Mentors, I took several online courses which claimed to teach how to earn online. But earning online isn’t easy! It does take time and effort. One of the first things I noticed about Stuart and Jay was that they weren’t overstating the ease of earning online like many of the other marketers I found prior to them.

As I went on to find, they actually show up for their members too. Other course founders were nowhere to be seen! Stuart and Jay showed up for webinars and (pre-pandemic) in person too! I met Stuart and Jay in London shortly after joining the community in 2014. They still turn up for live calls today (October 2020).

Affiliate Marketing Mentorship – The Community

But Stuart and Jay have created so much more than their own coaching program. There’s now many mentors and coaches belonging to the SFM who offer 1 on 1 affiliate marketing coaching and mentoring through Stuart and Jay’s community.

There’s many groups teaching all kinds of marketing and self development entrepreneurial skills and mindsets. Mindset training was something I never thought I needed. But since going through the training and personal coaching sessions I’ve come to realise how important it actually is for building a profitable online business.

With the wrong mindset, you could be working for years in all the wrong activities. Your thinking is a vital part of a successful business online. The SFM mentors helped me to realise and understand what personal thinking limitations I was carrying around with me which were holding me back.

Why Mentorship Is So Important For Success Online

mentorship and what you don't know

Many struggle with building a successful online business because their thinking doesn’t accommodate for what they need to do to succeed. One of my own personal issues was a poverty mindset. I struggled to overcome this for many years. Even with a large ticket sales funnel, I was terrified of spending money on advertising because my work was sporadic and money was limited.

But of course this was the case because of my existing mindsets about money and lack. If you don’t think you have much, you create the circumstances to prove yourself right! You can still be poor and have an abundance mindset.

Frugal thinking can help you live beneath your means and survive, but being frugal with my advertising budget didn’t help grow my online business! I used cheaper alternatives and still do. But paid marketing has been fundamental to growing beyond my comfort zones and achieving a larger income online.

Of course whether or not you can use paid marketing will depend on your business model.

Affiliate Marketing Mentorship – Business Model

When I first started doing affiliate marketing I chose products I knew of. I used Amazon and eBay and referred people to products on those sites through my affiliate links. But physical products tend to pay the least to affiliates. Look at Amazon’s commission structure for example.

They pay from 3-11% on a sale to affiliates. Later I learned to sell digital products and could earn 40%+ on my sales. But I was also in the dark still and have learned through the SFM Digital Business system to use recurring income affiliate programs, high ticket items and even multi-tier sales to make an affiliate business more lucrative and my efforts more efficient.

The six figure (plus) business model pictured above offers multiple earning strategies within a product range:

  • A built in sales team – closing sales on your behalf
  • A product range – refer a customer and benefit from lifetime commissions and later purchases
  • Multi-tier commissions – earn from sales made by your referrals.
  • High ticket items – using high value digital products gives you the best reward for your efforts and makes affiliate marketing more efficient.

The SFM Digital Business System offers all of these benefits at the highest level (DEA Partner Member). But it also offers a range of “buy-ins” which allow you to position your sales funnel at an affordable level that’s right for you. As a basic member, you can benefit from the following sales system and model. The commission structure even offers 101% commission on the All-In-One Package. (See chart below).
