Let's talk about some superpowers you can have in affiliate marketing by being super focused: gaining traction and avoiding distraction. So you probably know that the world gets more and more distracted, and people that can focus and go in the direction they want - have good results.

The opposite of traction is a distraction, and it’s not a focus but traction that gives an advantage in affiliate business. Distraction is any action that pulls you away from what you were going to do and, in this way pulling you away from becoming the kind of person you want to become. So any action can be traction or destruction. Imagine that you are standing on the crossroad, and the left is traction, and if you turn right, there is a distraction. You can go anyway: you can go to the right or the left, and depending on your choice, you will be coming closer to your goal or going away from your it.

Any action can become a distraction if you are going away from where you were going in your planning—for example, checking emails or watching YouTube videos. Does it what you were planning to do, or is it something you are unconsciously doing right now? If it is so, you will go away from complicated things like creating an article or making a YouTube video, or thinking about your affiliate marketing strategy.

Distraction can come from two sources. One is external, and the other is internal. External happens, for example, when your phone rings and somebody wants to talk with you. Internal is more critical and more sophisticated. Most of the things that we are doing in our lives are dependent on internal triggers. Every product that you are using online is the answer to the equation of your inner state. For example, if you feel bored or stressed, you can watch some YouTube videos or go to the Facebook news feed. What happens there is an apparent escape from internal discomfort.

Okay, so now let's talk about how to become indestructible in 4 easy steps. Step number one is mastering the internal triggers that you have inside of you. The first step guarantees that you must be a master of your way of dealing with the discomfort that you have inside. This method will help you to do things that are only related to your goals and your success.

The second step is to make time for traction. A lot of people have a schedule. But the problem with the scheduled list is that if you don't have time for some work to do, you will worry a lot about a list of things you need to accomplish.

Instead of a schedule, you need to make a time window in your day to make some traction. For example, writing articles or creating YouTube videos or finding affiliate offers or something related to your business. A time window can have a size from 30 minutes to few hours.

The third step is to get an advantage from external triggers. If you know how external stimuli work, you can make them your aliens to help you achieve your goals.

The final fourth stage is to prevent distraction by agreeing with yourself. When you agree with yourself every time you go outside of the new things to do for you, you will remember it because you wrote it down somewhere on the paper or in your notepad, and now you are coming back to your initial goal.

Master your time, and your traction will give you a significant tremendous advantage. Because most people don't think and that’s why it is your secret advantage that you can have. Most people don't make time to think. Such people automatically react to external triggers and don't have time to think deeply about what they need to do and what strategies they need to have in their life or business.

There are two types of work: reactive work and the other is reflective work. Reflective work requires brain and mental energy, and most people don't do it because it's not something easy to accomplish. So instead, most people do reactive work.

If you want to have a substantial competitive advantage in the modern world, I can give you a magic formula:

Here is a four-step plan for product selection that will give you tremendous leverage in your affiliate marketing game. Step number one is to select a product that has something interesting about it: some story that you can tell in your offer, advertisement, blog post, video. A product that has a story will help you to increase your sales and engage the audience. In case this product doesn't have a great story, you can come up with some great stories yourself. Anyway, a key here is to find an existing story about this product that you can tell your audience or make a story about this product. But please don't be boring because boring will not sell. Step number two is finding a product that is rare or underserved on the market. If everyone is promoting the same product right now in the marketplace, it's probably hard to stand out from the crowd. But if some product has significant potential and not so many people know about it, you have a great chance that you can present it to the market in such an exciting way that the market will find about this product from you. Of course, you can promote products that everybody else is promoting but if you choose between promoting something special or something that everybody else is promoting, select the first option. Step number three is to promote only high-quality products. Something you can proudly use yourself or that you have tried yourself or your friends, peers, family, etc. But if you don't know the product’s quality, what's the most obvious thing to do? That’s right: to try it (spoiler: you can do it easily in the Contexter marketplace). You can do it in two ways: the first way you can buy a product yourself and try it. The second way you can write to the product creator and ask him to give it to you for free is to review this product and promote it to other people. In most cases, he will be happy to do it for you. If the product quality is not excellent and you will start to promote it to the audience, you will lose trust in this promotion and other offers that you will encourage later. Also, as I was talking about before, promoting high-quality products will give you long-term success. Plus, it will make you much fewer refunds and, of course, much fewer angry people complaining about you. And last but not least, the best thing to do to select the best affiliate product you can is to choose a product that solves some pain for your audience. To do it, you need to understand very well your audience's problems and worries. If you solve some pain problems for your audience with the product you are promoting, they will be happy and thankful to you, and they will trust you more and return to you again and again. Conversely, if you propose some products that are not relevant to your audience slowly, you will see how people will unsubscribe from you. Maybe not on the first day, but slowly and slowly. So, in summary, if you want to be a master in affiliate products selection, follow these critical steps: 1. Find the project that has some story or come up with it. 2. The product has to be quality. 3. Product has to be rare or relatively unknown to your audience. 4. It has to solve some pains of your audience.

Legendary copywriter Eugen Schwarz once said that the most prepared person that puts time and effort into research wins and gets the most money. It has a direct connection with the affiliate product promotion and product selection process. One of the biggest mistakes I see people make while promoting products, they don’t know it. Sometimes, they want the maximum commission or because everyone is promoting it or an urgent need to earn money. Knowing your commission is an excellent thing to do, but it is only a part of the decision-making process to decide if to promote this product or not. And to promote a product only based on a commission factor is a no-no rule to follow. So let me tell you again, it is critical to know your product even better than its creator knows it.

It is also important because if you want to get an advantage over your competition, they don't know the product and you can know it. It can be a significant competitive advantage for you. This approach provides you a way you can crash and beat your competition.

So my advice here is this: don't waste time and try to examine the landing page of the product right now, learn reviews of the product, both negative and positive, listen to interviews with the product creator, and find out something significant about this product on YouTube, Instagram, or other social networks. Read articles about this product and collect as much information as possible. Extremely important in this process is to find something extraordinary about the product, and the only possible way to do it is to gather a lot of information about it. Research various sources to extract and find something specific about this product that nobody else tells about it.

The general rule here is not to promote the product if you don't know everything about it and you didn't find some angle from which you can tell about it in the best possible way. Most marketers don't do it, but it is a necessary step for your long-term success. By doing all these necessary steps and work, you will earn trust from the audience and increase sales.

You will increase conversions, and you will increase word of mouth about your brand and about products you promote. Doing so will promote your products in a much more secure way, and the audience will trust you more. People will think about you as an expert. Like about somebody who understands its niche, who understands the products and needs of the customers. You will get more authority, and all this will result in more money in your bank account.

Use the products, try the product, and be much happier recommending it to people. Check if you like it and if you know that it gives value to you and if so, it will provide added value to others. Promote only in this situation, and this small thing will set you apart. When you know all about the products that you are promoting, you will be much more confident and happy promoting them to your audience.

When you gather a lot of information, the next step is to talk about the product in some particular way from some unique angle. This concept will give you the ability to present even an old product as a new product. It is very well known in the advertisement industry that “new” is the most important word. You can be talking about the oldest thing in the world that people spoke about hundreds of millions of times. But because you did the research before and found some unique angle and because you present it in a new and fresh way, people will pay much more attention to you, a

``` Hi, my name is Alex, and I am the founder and chief developer of Contexter.

And in this short video, you will learn how to showcase your products to relevant audiences of bloggers/influencers/podcasters and give them ready to use all-in-one platform for promoting your products.

First, I want to tell you a short story in one minute about two digital course creators that can resonate with you. Both were passionate art creators, and both decided to create a course to teach others how to create fantastic art in their homes’ comfort. Both of them had a similar experience in their crafts. And as a result, they both get the market to like their products, and clients paid them money for courses. They got similar setup and functional products that people recommended to their friends.

But in half a year, as it turned out, their performance results were not the same. One of them sold 2 times more products than the other and got several times more subscribers and clients.

They started from the same place and in similar conditions. So you can ask what the difference was that gave them so different results? How can that be? The secret is that one that sold more of the products used joined ventures method (known today as merely affiliate promotions) The other did a pretty good job too. Don’t take me wrong it was not his fault. He simply did not have the needed tools to make those affiliate deals and was discouraged by past efforts and effectiveness in this direction.

But making partnerships without a good strategy, patience, skills, and guidance can be challenging.

Why?

Because contacting potential partners and making deals can be time-consuming requires biz skills and can subtract time and energy from doing creative work itself.

But imagine a place where you can find relevant bloggers to cooperate with, and they can on their own discover your products. They can try them, promote, collaborate with you, create product offers and bundles, embed them in their blogs or newsletters in few clicks.

Enter modern partnership marketing, which Contexter is all about…

I am not talking about regular affiliate sales: having a headache with cookie tracking and limited possibilities. I am talking about mastering partnership marketing in a modern way to showcase your products to an audience you could not have access to before.

We began asking hundreds of creators and publishers what they needed to make partnerships to be: 1 easy to implement 2 have transparent tracking and collaboration between publisher and product creator 3 that can be implemented with minimum tech skils 4 and have all required tech tools to make product delivery to end client easy 5 that is optimized for conversions 6 that has a free collaborative environment clear from distractions where both publishers and creators can concentrate on what matters the most: increasing sales and happiness that clients can get from purchased products

But the problem was that what they wanted simply did not exist.

That’s how Contexer was born:

It is an all-in-one partnership platform for breakthrough traffic monetization with digital products.

Contexter helps individual creators of high-quality digital products to get clients through affiliate partnerships with publishers using contextual commerce technology.

We use the traditional affiliate method of rewarding publishers for endorsing: fee for a sale.

But thanks to contextual commerce, it is all about context, which creates increased performance and makes it different.

The fundamental ingredient that can boost your affiliate sales even when you make minimal efforts in promotions Ok, small disclosure, so it is not about the modern sales funnel or the latest chatbot software.People do business with those who provide the most value they also know, like, and trust.I don’t know who specifically said this but let’s talk a bit about the last word: trust and how it can give you leverage in your affiliate marketing.Trust takes time to create and energy to maintain, but it is necessary to make affiliate sales.By building trust first in your community (it can be an email list, Youtube channel group, or social media), you earn the right to be listened to and only after that promote products to your audience that trust and beliefs in you.Trust does not correlate with the number of people that listen to you. Of course, the more people trust you, the better, but better to have 100 people who trust you than 1000th who have any doubts. So by building trust, first affiliate sales will follow - it will almost come naturally. But how to build trust? Let’s look at two ways how you can do it. They are related but a bit different.The first one is giving value. And I was repeatedly giving value. It looks like karma: the more you give, the more you get in return. This thing does exist. Before Gary Vaynerchuk became famous, Gary Vee - he was giving and giving. Creating and creating free content even when there were only a few subscribers, and few people commented - yet he liked what he was doing and continued posting. Probably it took him years, but it paid off - so giving a lot of value to people you care about and sincerely wanting to help is the key here.The second way of building trust is through people that can recommend you and your brand, not your affiliate offer.It is all about who knows you, not only about whom you know. For example, some podcast host facebook or Instagram blogger knows you can recommend you to their audience and help you grow your audience sales and trust to you.But again you can do it only if you follow the way I mentioned before: you give give give. And give to everyone - because you do not always know what will work: so continue giving to big and small. Some not so “big” friend that likes your work and content can make you an introduction to some opportunity you have not even thought.If you do these two things - money will follow your path.Some newbie affiliate marketers often start posting their links all over the internet without giving any value. It produces spam but not sales. One way to do it in Contexter is to go inside the community for publishers and product creators to collaborate inside the Contexter platform. There you can post some valuable info and find deals or cooperations with other people - build your trust and network. Also, take a free course for publishers: How To Skyrocket Traffic Monetization With Contextual Commerce.Simply go to contexter.org to see more details about the Contexter project and try to join it and get approved quickly.

How not to make people lose attention and slowly unsubscribe from your affiliate promotions - Contexter Commerce Let’s continue talking about leverage and how you can use it to quadruple your affiliate marketing success. In this lesson, I am talking about relevance. It is all about relevance - and this is so basic. Marketing 101 but affiliates so miss that it's worth talking about it here to give you an advantage. I don’t know if the day you are reading or listening to this radio is still relevant. But back in the days when it was, I often tried to find some FM frequency with music that I like or a new kind of show to entertain myself. As you know, the process was straightforward, sure you remember it. Start to spin the wheel and then first get some noise, and after some gentle tuning, you will be able to find some show. But the process just started here. Very often, after a few minutes of listening to the channel, I was able to figure out if I need to continue spinning to find something else or not. I don’t need to be a genius to understand that I decided if the show or channel is exciting or not based on an essential internal factor: is it relevant to me or not. And of course, the more relevant the show has on the channel, the more often I will return to that channel again and again, and the more often I will listen to that or other shows on that particular frequency. I will start skipping other channels and frequencies if that channel will continue its trend. And that has a direct connection with the way you are promoting products to your audience or list. The key here is the product you are promoting has to be in perfect harmony with your list and their needs, wants, and willingness to pay for it. It does not mean that if you found out about some latest “gurus” products and started promoting it will not work. It can work and even make you a couple of dozens of sales here and there. Problems appear when this product is not in tune with your existing audience: it does not correlate with their desires, anxieties, hopes, and needs. And maybe not the same day, but slowly, these people start to unsubscribe from you or pay more attention to other places. And that unquestionably will happen because it works the same as if it would work in our example with radio channel search. So the secret here is finding problems that your audience has and, after that, find a product that can solve that problem. Otherwise, you will see how your people start to lose attention to you little by little. And just because everyone on the internet is promoting some product and you started doing the same thing is not a justification. Again this is very basic, but this is a principle, not a tactic - so you can take it seriously. If products' relevance to your people will be high, it will not only make you more money. It will have a long term impact on your journey: people will care more about what you are going to say to them will be waiting for your next offer as an old friend they have not seen for a year as a result, they will trust you more and recommend you to others as an authority that truly understands others’ needs. Finding great digital products in Context is not a difficult task. In the marketplace section, you can search and filter products based on your needs (type number of sales category, etc.) and can even ask the product creator to try the product you liked. Just go to contexter.org to find more on how to do it in the free affiliate marketing course you can take right now. Even if you do not use Contexter, that knowledge can give you important leverage in your affiliate marketing journey.

How to build a relationship with your audience for your affiliate partnership offers from the right foot.

Let's talk a bit about martial arts. You probably watched many movies about it, participated in local self-defense groups, or even tried to become a professional fighter? There are some essential principles in martial arts that can you can use in your affiliate marketing endeavors. And those principles, as seen, again and again, can quadruple your success. You would probably outsmart other affiliates in a space that is trying to sell the same product or similar offer. And this has nothing in common with the size of your audience nor the size of your list or YouTube Channel. I am talking, of course, about leverage here. Some superpowers that you can turn on and become unstoppable. So what is leverage in martial arts? Leverage is when even being smaller, you win because you know how to use your body so that your partner in the fight can’t. There are ways to kick a competitor in their peaceful places like head or knees in eastern martial arts or by using the opponent’s weight and mass against him. Same in affiliate marketing success. There is no need to be the biggest guy/gal in the room to win a creative fight here. As a result, you will not probably put someone out of business, but part of the customers that now belong to others will be yours even if you are in a highly competitive market. And that will give you two, three, or even five times more customers than you have now. Of course, this means you will bring you accordingly two, three, or even five times more money to grow your business and feed your family. But the right implemented leverage will not only bring you more money but will make your life easier. For example, one of the side effects can be that you will grow your list much faster, and the word of mouth of your current subscribers/clients will be on fire. And all of this regardless of your current list size or your name recognition. Ok, enough intro here, and let's look at one of the fundamental strategies that can give you that tremendous leverage that I so nicely pictured you. It can seem extremely simple, and I would say even banal. Here it is: "Truly caring about your audience.” It is not as simple as you can think about it because most people don't do it. Genuinely caring about your customers’ list is vital that all the superior funnels and products will not give you that leverage without this critical ingredient. What do I mean about "Caring"? The unique approach here is to see real people: their problems, desires, needs, expectations, fears, etc. - and sincerely profoundly caring about them. Think about them as not cold emails or names that subscribed to you, but as human beings - as your own second family. If you don’t do this, then there is a chance that you will think about them as a list of people that will send money to your bank account just on your wish: you press a button - send your offer in an email and become rich. Partly - just on the surface, that process looks like that. But without a mind-shift about "truly caring about people," long term success is not possible IMHO. How to do it? Instead of just coming up with a marketing promise, excellent copy, or video, ask yourself what the real current need or problem of people you want to serve is and how you can help solve it with your service product or offer. It changes the way your audience responds to your offers. This mind-shift is simple but powerful that will give you significant long term leverage. Trust me on that implementation, and this will make you stand out from the marketplace. By the way, one of the “technical” implementations you can do is to create a bridge landing page that talks about “needs” and problems that a product you are promoting solves. And you can do it easily on the Contexter platform. Just go to contexter.org, and you will find a free course you can take about affiliate marketing for
