Affiliate marketing article: Setting Affiliate Income Goals-Secrets To Quiting Your Job and Living On Affiliate Income

Article Tips > Affiliate marketing

So, you want to quit your job and earn a living as an internet affiliate income junkie? Well, I've done it. From Google AdSense alone, I've had $15,000 months with NO advertising budget. Here's how you can do set goals to accomplish that too.

How does this schedule sound? Wake up at 10 AM or later to hang out at the gym. Then, eating lunch out at your favorite restaurant where you do not need to even order... they just make your lunch when they see you in line. Checking your income in the afternoon before a matinée movie with you wife while the kids are in school. Take a break for a nice dinner out with the family and a relaxing evening watching television and playing video games with the kids.

Does that sound far fetched? That was my lifestyle before I got bored and started several new projects and it is possible for someone to have that type of lifestyle. How? Well, I'm going to share with you the goal setting secret that I used to achieve that lifestyle right here.

It all came down to two simple concepts: constant and never-ending improvement and leverage.

First, the concept of constant and never-ending improvement (CANI) came from Tony Robbins. I would listen to Tony Robbins' Personal Power II course while I took afternoon walks in a mountain hiking park half a mile from my mountain home in Fort Collins, Colorado.

In that course, Tony Robbins would talk about using the concept of constant and never-ending improvement to improve all aspects of your life and business.

For example, I'd set a goal to generate $5 per day from affiliate programs (eventually it become mostly Google AdSense). Then, I'd list out all the ways that I could achieve that goal:

1. Get more traffic to my existing websites
2. Improve my Click Through Ratio on my web pages
3. Put up more websites
4. Write more content
5. Increase my search engine indexing

And so on.

Then, I'd do just one little thing--the thing that would have the biggest impact for the smallest amount of effort--to improve each area each day. The results started to compound on themselves.

If I improved my Click Through Ratio by 10% and my traffic by 10% and the amount of content by 10% and the number of websites by 10%, then it is not 10% plus 10% plus 10% plus 10%... it is 10% better times 10% better times 10% better times 10% better.

The difference is subtle... instead of a 40% increase for that day, it resulted in a 46% increase, but the long term result was HUGE in terms of income.

Each day, I'd get up and just work on making improvement. If you've ever seen the movie, "What About Bob", you probably remember "Baby Steps". That was my mantra.

"Baby Steps" to get another network of websites up. "Baby Steps" to get people to write content for us. "Baby Steps" to submit our sites to search engines and so on.

The second part of my model had to do with leverage. Earlier, I explained that I did "the thing that would have the biggest impact for the smallest amount of effort". Note, I said "smallest amount of effort".

I would seek out ways to leverage myself. I would hire people to do work for me that could easily be done by them that took up time for me. So, the constant and never-ending improvement coupled with leverage allowed me--and will allow YOU--to set and achieve goals to make a living solely from affiliate income and quit your job.

So, get started today by setting a goal for $5 per day from affiliate income. Work toward achieving that goal by making improvements each day to your system and leveraging your efforts. Repeat and raise your goal as needed.

To your success...
