00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.439
market without a website? Oh?
Yeah, can I cover that? Now?
30
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.680
Tell me? Can you picture what
it would be like in nineteen sixty
31
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:08.280
three to be an escapee from communist
Yugoslavia. Yeah, would you like to
32
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.159

44
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.000
Oh, We're happy to have you. And I want to show everyone how
45
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.160
I came about inviting you on the
show. When I decided to explore affiliate
46
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:27.319
marketing for me, I bought this
book and have it has become. As
47
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.000
I told you before we went on
the air, my Bible and you wrote
48
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.959
this along with Ted. How long
did it? Well? First of all,
49
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.920
let's go back to tell us a
little bit about what it was like
50
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:47.680
to escape from Yugoslavia in nineteen sixty
three. When how old were you?
51
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:54.680
Well, I was four years old. And what happened was that my family.
52
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.160
The interesting thing is that my mother
was actually born in Superior, Wisconsin,
53
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.480
of old Quirks of oh So at
the time my mother left, first
54
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.360
she came to America and with the
other relatives, they pulled a lot of
55
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:12.199
strings at the State Department and immigration, and that got me, my father,
56
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.879
and my brother into America in nineteen
sixty three, and I've been a
57
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:24.519
grateful citizen ever since. Oh that's
wonderful. My grandparents came from Poland,
58
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.959
and my husband's parents were born in
Norway, so we have shared the immigrant
59
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:38.600
experience along successfully along, just like
you have. And where are you settled
60
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.199
now? Where do you live now? Well? I live in a well.
61
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.759
The first thirty years of my American
life, I lived in Hoboken,
62
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.800
New Jersey. Then when I got
married to my bride in nineteen ninety three
63
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.160
moved up here to angle with Cliffs
and me and the missus just to celebrated
64
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.639
our thirty year anniversary in October.
Oh, congratulations, that's wonderful. I'm
65
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:08.720
so happy to hear that we just
celebrated our fifty third unbelievable, isn't it.
66
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.759
Amazing stuff? Amazing stuff. And
by the way, you mentioned Yugoslavia
67
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.360
earlier, you know, And if
I can make two brief points about that,
68
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.920
okay. Number one, when I've
done my seminars, and I've done
69
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:24.120
all over twenty five hundred across the
country since nineteen eighty three, I always
70
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.319
introduced myself as a raven capitalist,
and I go, you know, why
71
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.240
am I raving capitalists? Because I
was born in a communist country. That's
72
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.720
how you become a raven capitalist,
you know, And so I figured it
73
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.839
might as well be the title of
a website, right, Oh. Perfect.
74
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.839
And the second point is that in
nineteen ninety three, me and the
75
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.560
missus her name is fran Me and
the missus we were going to as part
76
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.160
of our honeymoon, go to Yugoslavia, you know. But by the Mediterranean
77
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:56.360
sounds romantic, but at the time, Yugoslavia was collapsing into hyperinflation, civil
78
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.000
war, chaos, and you know, things like that ruined a good honeymoon.
79
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.839
So instead we did it in the
Caribbean instead, which is a lot
80
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.879
more calm and a lot more fun. Actually, as I was entering my
81
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.360
marriagehood, so to speak, Yugoslavia
had entered the dustbin of history and it's
82
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.160
no longer around, and you know, we want people to do well versus
83
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.160
what happened there, you know.
Yeah, Now, did you automatically become
84
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.920
a citizen when your mother became a
citizen? How does that work when you're
85
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.759
so no, No, no,
she was automatically a citizen. I had
86
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.120
to earned my own way, so
to speak. So I came to America.
87
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.920
I was a green card alien,
a legal alien, if I can
88
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.399
mention that, and I didn't.
And I finally was naturalized in nineteen seventy
89
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.920
eight, all right, and actually
December fourteenth, so an anniversary is coming
90
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.120
up there, you know, And
it was a glorious day for me personally,
91
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.040
you know, So I'm grateful.
Oh, wonderful story. Yeah,
92
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.279
I know. Our family has gone
through that same experience, and it's just
93
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.399
been amazing to share that, especially
nowadays because you hear so many anti immigration
94
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.959
comments and things. And you made
a good point and you said, legally,
95
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.639
and that is something that our family
did too, and legally we did
96
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.839
it according to the rules and it's
worked out beautifully. Now, when you
97
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.039
wrote this book, you wrote it
with Ted Siddal, Right, yeah,
98
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.879
yeah, sudele. And how long
have you been working with him? And
99
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.320
how long did it take to write
this book? Well, you know,
100
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.480
he runs his own website, and
I had did interviews with him because it
101
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.120
was about precious metals, et cetera. And so I interviewed because I wrote
102
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.679
two dummies Guides on precious metals,
so I was a freaking frequent guest.
103
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.240
And for me, I knew that
affiliate marketing was a great topic. And
104
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.120
I went to the dummies Guide folks, and I said, I'd love to
105
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.679
do a Dummy's guide on affiliate marketing. And they say, well, it's
106
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.759
not on our radar screen. So
I had to justify it, and I
107
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.240
said to him, it's probably as
a singular business activity. It's probably the
108
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.480
most prevalent business online. It's amazing
how many people make money at affiliate marketing.
109
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.080
Sometimes people don't notice it because some
people don't mention it, although of
110
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.840
course to at TC rules they should
mention it. But in any case,
111
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.080
billions and billions of dollars have been
done through affiliate marketing, and so I
112
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.159
wanted to have a ten on because
he was also I first crossed pats with
113
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.320
him when he took one of my
classes many years ago. So he went
114
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.600
from being a student to a client, to a friend to a business associate.
115
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.399
So he went through that and so
and he did lots of affiliate marketing
116
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.080
over the years. So I broke
a topic with him and I said,
117
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.480
look, you are excellent with beginners. I'd love to have you come on
118
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.600
board as a co author. So
he and I did it. We made
119
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.919
the case, and the folks at
the w SKUND Wiley Wiley, the publisher,
120
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.600
was convinced, and I think they're
happy they did it. It was
121
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.679
a it's a good book, and
it's a kind of book that is needed
122
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.919
in so many ways, especially in
today's very difficult economy, you know,
123
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:26.080
between inflation, economic tensions, struggling, and affiliate marketing is probably it could
124
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.080
be maybe the best sideline business you
can do from the comfort of home.
125
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.080
Everyone has a smartphone, everyone has
a laptop, but one or both,
126
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.600
and for you to be simply registered
and as an affiliate. The basic activity
127
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.000
is to share a link with somebody. Yes, they click on the link,
128
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.399
they go to a landing page.
The landing page does all the selling,
129
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.240
you know. So so to me, I think it's since I know
130
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.159
I know people over the years who
have made a full time income doing it
131
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.519
part time, and I know that
that would help so many people out there
132
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.799
who are struggling or worried about their
uncertainty. You know, for many people,
133
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.279
an additional even part time, if
all they did was a few thousand
134
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.519
dollars extra, that makes a difference
between getting through that year or having some
135
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.720
economic pain. So for me,
I love the topic and I'd love to
136
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.600
see more people consider it and some
people you'll get to the point where you
137
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.320
can become a merchant once you create
your own product or service. You could
138
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.879
start in a Philly program and it's
a powerful form of marketing for companies out
139
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.240
there. This is why so many
companies do it out there. So this
140
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.480
is a great area for your audience
to explore. And it's an interesting because
141
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.440
you know, I'm exploring this myself, which is why I invited you on
142
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.840
the show, and you know,
as my listeners, no, I'm really
143
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.279
a senior. So if I'm interested
in doing this and working out how to
144
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.240
do it, anyone at any age
can do it. And this is such
145
00:11:54.279 --> 00:12:01.120
a brilliant idea for young people who
are starting out. And of course you
146
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.480
know they're also savvy when it comes
to technology, So for most of these
147
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:11.080
young people, this will be probably
a pretty reasonable easy thing to do,
148
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.519
don't you agree? Oh? Absolutely? And the thing is this, like
149
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.559
right now, what's coming up?
Tax seasons coming up? And for me,
150
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.360
I do a whole class. My
second longest running class is called home
151
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.480
Business Goal of Mine and I And
for me, I know, we joke
152
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.200
about me being called the raving capitalist
because I escaped the communist country, but
153
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:41.120
raving capitalist is actually a formal approach
that's probably built more success stories in some
154
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.559
way, shape or form than any
other form out there. You know.
155
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.559
All raving capitalist is is that you
do the two pronged approach for wealth building.
156
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.960
Prong number one is to have your
money working for you. In other
157
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.000
words, try to invest, try
to save, you know, And that's
158
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.759
that's why books like Stock Investing for
Dummies help people choose one so that they
159
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.759
can make that part of their picture, you know, and I do a
160
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.799
lot of other things, but the
second prong is active wealth building. Active
161
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.960
wealth building, everyone has a few
hours in their spare time, so why
162
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.759
not have fun and make money?
And then you open up really some tremendously
163
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.440
powerful benefits because affiliate marketing is technically
a home based business. And for me,
164
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.720
the second August running class I did
was Home Business coal Mine, and
165
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.519
I said about the seven powerful benefits
of having a home business. You know,
166
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.200
one of them, I mean one
of them is, of course income,
167
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.480
that's the main one people think about. The second one is that you
168
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.799
enjoy yourself. You should have fun. Business should be fun. I watched
169
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.039
you in your promo. I go, oh, she's having a blast bliss
170
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.039
Jr. Jones. But that there's
also more practical reasons for doing this.
171
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.480
And affiliate marketing is as good as
any home business out there because once you
172
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.279
have a legitimate home based business,
you can be able to write off legitimately
173
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:09.240
a home office and that and that
is worth thousands of dollars to people you
174
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.360
know, and and and also too, do you realize that when you have
175
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.360
your oho home business, you have
the legal ability to create your own four
176
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.200
oh one K plan or the legal
ability to create what's called a step I
177
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.039
ra you know, and you mentioned
you're a senior, and for me,
178
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.039
I think affilly marketing and other home
based businesses are ideal for seniors because you
179
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.799
have a wealth of knowledge, experience, you still got the energy and and
180
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.480
you know what, if you feel
you're doing something vibrant and passionate, you're
181
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.519
going to put more years in your
life and you're going to put more joy
182
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.559
in the people around you when you're
doing this. So a Philly marketing and
183
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.960
again, any home business, I'm
a champion of this. I've been an
184
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.559
advocate for going on almost four decades
on this topic. Yeah, well that's
185
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.960
why I invited you on the show. But you know, right now we're
186
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.799
we're going to take a break.
And if you were a whiner or know
187
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.039
a winer, this would be the
perfect book to give them for Christmas.
188
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.399
Lately, there is a whining epidemic
in our world. People are even whining
189
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.759

tired of listening to everyone whining all the

Genie did the audio and I was
just thrilled when I listened to it.
204
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.840
Probably before we go on, let's
share everyone with everyone again your website information
205
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.200
and how they can contact you.
Okay. Well, by the way,
206
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.320
I just want to get get an
awkward moment out of the way. I
207
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.639
was going to do a book called
Thou shehled Wine and I don't know it's
208
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.840
good. I don't want to get
I don't want to get on your band
209
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.159
side. But anyway, yeah,
anyway, I love it. That's very
210
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:06.680
good here anyway. So the website
is again my monica Ravingcapitalists. So it's
211
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:12.680
Ravingcapitalist dot com. Okay, and
there's where virtual all the books I have
212
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.440
and all the seminars, and actually
I'm going to be upgrading every seminar I
213
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.079
have. All of them are online, you know, some of them are
214
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.880
on you Demi. And my main
courses are the Home Business Goal Mine and
215
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.880
my longest running course was the fifty
dollars Wealth Builder, which just had a
216
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.400
forty year anniversary, where I help
people to invest even with small amounts of
217
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.599
money. Oh. I love that. Plenty of courses. I hope people
218
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.960
can take a look. And I'm
easy to find too. You know,
219
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.160
my name is my email paul at
melogeneviic dot com. So perfect. Yeah,
220
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.799
I love that for seniors, you
know, and also for all your
221
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:55.119
seniors. Paula and I before we
went on the air, I asked him
222
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.359
about being an affiliate. So you'll
see I've added my name to his website.
223
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.319
So I don't know how that works, but maybe it'll work. I
224
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.319
recommend him. Oh, you know
what, we'll have to reconnect about that
225
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.920
because that one says gravity capitalists,
so I'm raving capitalists. So we'll think,
226
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.599
well, we'll work it out.
I would be honored to have you
227
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.720
as an affiliate and to help monetize
your wondful efforts in twenty twenty four.
228
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.640
You're right, I misspelled it,
so one but one put the right one
229
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.319
up, so that's good. He's
very good that way. And you know,
230
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.559
I want to share with everyone that
the first thing I did when I
231
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.279
bought your book, I read it
from the front to back, and I
232
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.880
really was very impressed with Around page
thirty two, you shared some really important
233
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:47.319
things about controlling your email, and
I followed your advice and it just saves
234
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.519
me, oh a lot of time. So you have a lot of really
235
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.839
just practical things in your book that
people can take advantage of. I believe
236
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.480
page thirty two the it goes to
Ted Pseudo for writing that. You know,
237
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.559
so it was a team effort and
thank you for mentioning. Okay,
238
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.759
and then maybe someday we'll get ted
on the show too. Let's talk about
239
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:18.599
when people try to do this,
what are the pitfalls and what are some
240
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.799
of the risks, so you can, you know, give everyone appraisal of
241
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:27.400
your opinion of the difficulties that you
might encounter. Okay, Well, first
242
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.440
of all, I think what most
people need to do is just because it's
243
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.839
easy that you can share a link
with somebody, that doesn't always mean you
244
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.839
should. You know, the people
who do the greatest job in affiliate marketing
245
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.759
is that because of Philly, marketing
is in so many categories and in so
246
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.400
many areas, and you know,
there's even seasonal. I know some people
247
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.559
who do affilly marketing during Christmas time
because they want to make sure that if
248
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.720
people are going to be buying a
gift anyway, they might as well buy
249
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.359
to an affiliate link. So the
first thing people need to do is to
250
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.519
is to choose their niche, whatever
that is. I always tell people go
251
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.039
to where your passion is. You
know, like if you love fashions,
252
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.160
there are many great websites out there
about fashion and they have you know,
253
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:19.559
an affiliate program. All right,
So please choose an area where it's where
254
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.839
it's your specialty and area do you
gravitate towards any way where it's a natural
255
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.799
for you to communicate how much you
love you know, this particular topic.
256
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.440
All right. So that's that's the
first thing. Because right now, like
257
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.519
in the book, we mentioned several
platforms in that that people can go and
258
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:42.599
research different ideas. Might I give
those out? These these are the ones.
259
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.119
Listen, these are public available and
they've been they've done billions of dollars
260
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.079
worth. You have clickbank dot com, which is a very large site.
261
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:57.440
They've done over six billion dollars in
revenue, and they do an excellent job
262
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.119
for both the merchant and the affiliate. They protect they protect the affiliate.
263
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.960
Whenever consumers buy through a merchant at
clickbank, they have to they have to
264
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.759
do a sixty day money back guarantee
and they're very strong about that. They
265
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.400
do a lot of work to make
sure it's a diligent, you know,
266
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.960
marketplace, and uh and that one
and they go there. There's affiliate programs
267
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:26.200
on I saw horse racing. Uh, wellness, I mean, you'll be
268
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.759
surprised what what is out there?
So people don't have to automatically just go
269
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:37.079
with what they think is the most
popular. Sometimes the most successful ones are
270
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.039
you know, sometimes obscure niches.
Believe it or not. You know,
271
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.039
for example, when people go online. I mean there's even people who've made
272
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.680
a fortune from listen to this embarrassing
niches. You know, you decide what
273
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:59.519
an embarrassment is. But there are
vendors, programs and service providers who help
274
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.839
people embarrassing problems, you know what
I mean. Whatever I mean, I'll
275
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.079
leave it up to the I don't
want to go into them. You know,
276
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.359
this is keeping PG you know.
But anyway, so you make money
277
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:14.160
because when people go online and they're
desperate to find a solution, it is
278
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.160
good that they that you're part of
the solution to help them find it.
279
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.440
And let's face it, a lot
of these purchases are going to be made
280
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.680
anyway. So if the affiliate does
the research on the category and on the
281
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.400
niche, and they could put themselves
up Now you mentioned earlier, to be
282
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.640
an affiliate, you don't have to
have a blog or a website. This
283
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.359
is this is very true about a
Philly mark. Now keep in mind there's
284
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.839
people out there who could. I
mean, you could do a blog or
285
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.680
website, either for low cost or
for free. I mean there are sites
286
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.039
out there where you could put up
a free blog, you know, like
287
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:55.000
me for example, me as a
merchant. Another great site to look at,
288
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.640
which I've been active on for a
number of years is jvzoo dot com.
289
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:03.079
Jvzoo have come to know the president
that personally, she does a magnificent
290
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.640
job. They do a lot of
due diligence at sites like that to protect
291
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.799
both merchants and affiliates and make sure
that everyone's happy with the transaction and most
292
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.440
assuredly the consumer. At the end
of all this, all right, you
293
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.880
mentioned you might be on Amazon.
Amazon has one of the most active affiliate
294
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.400
sites you know, on the planet. Basically they you know, I think
295
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.559
ten did the research and he found
out that they have almost a million affiliates
296
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:34.079
all by themselves, you know.
And the interesting thing is the affiliate program
297
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:40.240
was how they made their most assured
success in the yearly years. Okay,
298
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.400
because one thing they did in the
early years, whenever he saw people who
299
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.599
did like a website on Guardening,
they would approach them and say, we
300
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.200
have guarding products. Join our affiliate
program, and you know, and that's
301
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:59.559
and so they they reached out to
many different bloggers and websites. Yeah,
302
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.519
because you're saying because for Amazon and
all the other merchants of Philly, marketing,
303
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.119
if it's done right, tends to
be a low risk way of marketing
304
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.960
for them because you could have a
thousand people sign up to your Philly program.
305
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.720
If no one sells anything, you
don't pay out any commissions. It's
306
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:22.319
performance based. It's performance based.
So that's why merchants love afilling marketing.
307
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:29.240
I just became I'm dipping my toe
into the Amazon world. I just became
308
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.519
an Amazon associate wonderful, and I'm
doing a lot of research on that and
309
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:40.559
I'm very excited about it because I
I'm on such good terms with the prime
310
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:47.680
delivery guy in the neighborhood. A
few weeks ago, he knocked on the
311
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:53.200
door to see if I was okay
because he hadn't dropped anything off. And
312
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.920
I said, well, yeah,
I'm fine, but we have a lot
313
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:03.000
of family visiting and I'm not spending
money on Amazon right now. And by
314
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.839
the way, you mentioned you're an
Audible. Yes, Audible is an Amazon
315
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.319
company and they're part of the Amazon
affiliate program as well. Oh okay,
316
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.240
I didn't. I didn't realize that, all right, Yeah, no,
317
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.960
January. I mean if I had
talked with you privately, you know,
318
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.960
even if it's whining or not,
I would it would be so many things
319
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.799
to share with you that you can
do so well with this where you're benefiting
320
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.079
your audience benefit yourself. It's a
win win situation and Afhilly marketing can be
321
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.519
a huge part of that. So
looking forward to you having a blast of
322
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.960
a twenty twenty four. Oh fun. But and you know, I think
323
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:44.039
there's a lot of seniors who are
just like me, and they're they're looking,
324
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:49.759
they're looking for something to do,
and they're curious about this whole market.
325
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.799
We're going to take a break because
you know, sixty years ago,
326
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:02.079
something terrible happened in our country and
people are still asking sixty years later,
327
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:10.079
who killed Kennedy. Let me ask
you a question, are you still wondering
328
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:15.599
who killed Kennedy? Over fifty years
later? The assassination is still a mystery.
329
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:19.680
It is unfinished business for our country. Now get ready for a theory
330
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.759
that you've never heard before but will
make more sense than any other conspiracy theory.
331
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:30.599
That you've ever heard in the past. January Jones speaks the unspeakable in
332
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:37.359
her book Jackie, Ari and Jack
the tragic love triangle connecting Jackie and aristotalonass
333
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:44.480
romantically prior to JFK's assassination. Did
you know that Ari was Jackie's guest in
334
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.079
the White House during the JFK funeral. He was the only non family member
335
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.960
who was invited by Jackie to stay
there during the funeral. Aristotlonasis was one
336
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.640
of the wealthiest men in the world, with the means, the motive,
337
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:02.079
and the money to order an assassination
that was the perfect crime of the last
338
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:07.000
century. All Right needed class and
Jackie needed cash. They were perfect for
339
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:14.039
each other. Now what is Camelot? It is but another tragic love triangle?
340
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:19.039
Jackie, Ari and Jack is available
at January Jones dot com, Amazon
341
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:30.440

Read by mis Jones. Now we're back
342
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.759
with our new friend Paul, who
is the co author of Affiliate Marketing for
343
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:41.160
Dummies. This is so exciting and
I know that after with the show,
344
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.319
I'm going to have to have you
back next year because I know my listeners
345
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.519
are going to just wonder what I'm
doing with all this information, so I've
346
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:55.880
got to get something going here.
Let's talk about what to do. What
347
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:02.000
are just a few you gave us, some wonderful information, some resources that
348
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.240
is just amazing. And what other
suggestions do you have for people like me
349
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.839
who are seniors and thinking, oh, maybe I could try this. Well,
350
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:17.039
First of all, the great thing
is that the current generation of seniors
351
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.839
are more tech savvy than ever before, and more of them than ever are
352
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.599
on things like social media and everything
else. So affiliate marketing tends to be
353
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:30.759
a natural part of this, all
right. And so the thing is where
354
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.759
do senior citizens want to spend their
time? And the amazing thing what I'd
355
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.880
love to see them do is if
people are more retired and they're spending more
356
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.960
of their times on things such as
hobbies, vacationing and all the rest,
357
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.000
this is the place to do things
such as an affiliate program. For example,
358
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:55.400
Google allows you to put up a
free blog at their site blogger dot
359
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.519
com. Okay, so I know
plenty of my students in the past.
360
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.799
What they used to do was put
their interests on the blog. Again,
361
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.599
it's free, all right, And
then you're allowed to put affiliate links on
362
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.279
there. But for example, if
you have seniors who love movies, as
363
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:17.440
an example, movies, a lot
of the movie producers who sell paraphernalia books
364
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.680
that most of them have in the
Philly program. As a matter of fact,
365
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.279
if all you did was Amazon,
here's the interesting thing. Like for
366
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.200
me, at my site raving Capitalist, people can find out about my dummies
367
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.559
guides. Of course, you know
what's quite interesting. When people bought I
368
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.000
remember when somebody had clicked on the
book. I end up finding out I
369
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.559
got a twelve dollars commission from that
single click. I go, how did
370
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.000
that happen? Because usually when you're
selling a book that's like twenty twenty five
371
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.400
bucks, you're not going to get
a twelve dollars commission. But I will
372
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.920
tell you how Amazon works it.
People clicked on that link, all right,
373
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.039
say for you know, Philly Marketing
for Dummies, and they went to
374
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.960
Amazon, and then all of a
sudden they searched for something else and bought
375
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.920
something else. Believe it or not, because of Amazon's algorithm, that sale,
376
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.839
you know, credits you with a
commission, even though it had nothing
377
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:12.000
to do with that particular click.
So when I found out that somebody bought
378
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:17.599
a vacuum cleaner from me. I. Oh, that's it. That's amazing,
379
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.680
you know what I mean. And
because they were looking for the book,
380
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.359
but that probably whatever, their spouse
tapp him on the shoulder and says,
381
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.880
well, you please buy that vacuum
cleaner. And then he bought a
382
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.720
vacuum cleaner. And I got a
twelve dollars commission because of that vacuum cleaner.
383
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.759
Oh my gosh, that is amazing. So the thing is, if
384
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:40.680
you generate enough activity many times,
your affiliate link could be live for an
385
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.480
extended period of time, which means
you might end up getting Now it's Christmas
386
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:48.920
season, see how people are ready
to buy, so you might be making
387
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.759
money that you had no ideas that
you were going to generate, you know,
388
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.440
all because all because you were showing
initiative starting with your affiliate program.
389
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.200
Yeah. Anyway, I'm kicking myself
that I'm not up running for Christmas,
390
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:06.440
and you know, and I know
exactly where I'm headed because everything you've said
391
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:11.640
about Amazon is just so appealing to
me because I have such a big account
392
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:18.880
there. I actually went and changed
my one of my domain names to January
393
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:23.680
Jones Influencer and so that's what we
did with my YouTube account, put that
394
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:29.160
out there, and so I'm just
starting to put the pieces together. It's
395
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.200
kind of kind of like a big
puzzle, isn't it exactly? Well,
396
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.200
for example, you know what you
did. You showed that your great promo
397
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.759
a little while ago, over right, you know that book you know,
398
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.839
on what happened the tragedy from sixty
years ago? Well, imagine if you
399
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.160
had a free blog and you did
a couple of articles, you know,
400
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:53.680
on that incident, and a couple
of articles reviewing books on it. I
401
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.480
mean, you have your own,
but you know there's many other books.
402
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.960
So in many cases, from an
affiliate marketer's point of view, you may
403
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.160
not be worried about people buying yours
or someone else's. But if a lot
404
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.039
of them are buying all of these
books and you're making money from all of
405
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.880
these books books, no, the
cubulative effect would be, you know,
406
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.920
a wonderful effect on you on your
pocketbook, so to speak. Yeah,
407
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.079
no, no, no, no, share with me. Like the secret
408
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:24.279
for a successful blog would putting a
whole chapter in a blog work? Or
409
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:29.559
is that too much? No?
What I suggest is, you know,
410
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:31.839
like you remember if it's a if
you're writing a book, you're doing the
411
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:35.440
Shahrazon approach, you know what I
mean, You write a little bit of
412
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.200
it. More is in the book. Here's a click here to find out
413
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.519
more. You know what I mean? Oh okay, that's called the share
414
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.039
Shahrazon technique. You know. But
really many people could do many things,
415
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.680
like, for example, for you, you're doing this as a video,
416
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.400
and right now, there are many
wonderful video platforms. Many people think of
417
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.000
the obvious, which is YouTube,
all right, but there's also Rumble and
418
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:00.240
bit shoot and all the other ones
out there, and there's people who are
419
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.440
doing great work putting up amazing content. But what they will do is once
420
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.079
the video is out there and they
do all the keywords, then in the
421
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:14.440
description they will put in the affiliate
links of the hottest products out there tied
422
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:17.519
to the content of the video.
And so in many cases this will give
423
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.960
you passive income because that video is
up twenty four hours a day, you
424
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.559
can go on to something else,
you know. So there's a you know,
425
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:29.000
and also too, one thinguy like
one technique that I like that I'll
426
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.319
be doing with my affiliates in twenty
twenty four is that me? You know,
427
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:37.400
obviously, tax season's coming, So
my programs have been helping people saving
428
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.839
their taxes because there was a time
for about twenty five years I was a
429
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:45.240
tax preparer and tax planner, so
I took all that information and I was
430
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.880
teaching people how it works and how
to save money in terms of your activities.
431
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:54.720
So the thing is, so in
many cases, I'll put up a
432
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.640
free video out there and put links
to to my my courses, and that's
433
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:05.960
worked for me. So many people
their platform for getting an audience is something
434
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.960
like where are the people out there? Because think about it, you have
435
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.159
the gateway to a product that whatever
it is, a product or service that's
436
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.800
really wonderful. Yeah, so all
you need to complete the cycle is an
437
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.599
audience. Right, where is that
audience? Okay, that's rumble if it's
438
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.360
YouTube, if it's Google. So
so now a lot of people, let
439
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.679
me ask you a question, like, you know, if I your show,
440
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:34.039
this video will be up at YouTube
within an hour that we go off
441
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:38.960
the air. So if I wanted
to promote your book so that I would
442
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:44.280
be able to recommend it, I
would have to post would I have to
443
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.119
do? I have to get a
written permission from you to do that.
444
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:52.760
No. No, Once you're an
Amazon associate, part of agreements by everybody
445
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.920
on they agree to be part of
the A filly program automatically who is providing
446
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:01.840
goods and services? You as a
merchant, you as an affiliate, you
447
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:07.639
know, and Amazon. Now,
Amazon doesn't give huge commissions, you know.
448
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.119
Their commissions range from a couple percent
to like twelve percent depending on the
449
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:16.519
product or whatever. Okay, So
the advantage of being on Amazon is because
450
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.039
it is so widely accepted and people
buy from it anyway. Those might be
451
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:27.480
smaller transactions, but cumulatively you'll get
more people, you know, happily buying
452
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.079
through you because I have Amazon is
there. Meanwhile, there are a lot
453
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.760
of other merchants on there, like
you know, people like myself, and
454
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:38.280
people on clickbank and on jv zoo, where the commissions are twenty five,
455
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.679
fifty, sixty seventy percent, you
know. And so that's what I do.
456
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.400
I make it a practice that anybody
who becomes my affiliate, I automatically
457
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.920
give sixty percent. All right,
So then what I do after this show
458
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:58.159
is I put your book on,
and then I after slash, I put
459
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:04.199
my associate ID well, if it's
your book, all you need to do
460
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.840
is get the link from uh from
Amazon. Your I D will be there,
461
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.440
you know it. They'll show you
how to do that at the Amazon
462
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.360
Associates web page. You know,
you look up the you look up the
463
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:19.920
book, it'll find it. You
can choose to click on it to get
464
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.199
the link. You'll give you a
link. Now whenever you provide this link
465
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.760
in a blog, social media,
in your description with this, et cetera.
466
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.920
Anybody who clicks on that link,
it has your unique ID and whatever
467
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:36.320
purchases are made, those will rack
up sales for you or again or any
468
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:39.440
affiliate who uses their link. Okay, so then all I have to do
469
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:45.639
is at my associate ID and then
that would connect me. You are right,
470
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.199
but you have to find the product. This way, they have the
471
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:53.000
link and the and your code and
then you're you're good to go. At
472
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:57.719
that point, that's exciting. So
maybe I could start doing some more of
473
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.400
this sooner, because I was kind
of thinking, oh, this is so
474
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:06.679
much to put together that I'm probably
not gonna till next Let me give you
475
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:15.320
if I can kick up a notch
on the excitement. One thing you'll find
476
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:22.360
is, for example, there are
merchants out there that give you that if
477
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:28.000
you sell their stuff, their commission
comes to you in a form of a
478
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:31.920
subscription. For example, there are
subscriptions out there where they might charge whatever,
479
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.840
thirty nine dollars a month, all
right, and your commission might be
480
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.039
ten dollars that month, but ten
dollars every month for as long as those
481
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.320
people are in the program. So
you might have a situation where you make
482
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:52.400
one click, one transaction and it's
good for passive income into the future.
483
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.760
Is that cool? That is?
That is so cool. I love hearing
484
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.920
this. And let me tell you
what happens as well. Also to many
485
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.320
of these merchants, they do a
funnel. In other words, they might
486
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.440
offer something that's like whatever, a
seven dollars program, but then when people
487
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.119
buy it, they get an email
saying, thank you so much. Here's
488
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.440
our advanced program for fifty nine.
Here's another program for one hundred, seventy
489
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.719
undred. But you'll get a percentage
of every one of those in the funnel.
490
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.079
You know, if people were to
make all their transactions or even some
491
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.360
of the transactions whatever. Is Because
what many merchants will do is that they
492
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:30.159
might have like say, let's say
their first program, the first step in
493
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.280
the funnel is a fifteen dollars offering, you know, something small that'd be
494
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.760
more excited about. So they might
give in this funnel a seventy five percent
495
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:43.199
commission. But then they give you
the second step of the funnel a fifty
496
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.280
percent commission. But that's a much
higher value program. So we add up
497
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:52.480
all the potential, you know,
commissions, you know, sometimes you know,
498
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:59.000
one click starts to bull rolling hundreds
of dollars worth of commissions. All
499
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:04.800
I can say is who knew?
And I'm going to promote a wonderful book.
500
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.920

priceless ball. So, Paul, what
527
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.280
else can you tell us about this
exciting show that we're doing. Well,
528
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.239
here's the interesting thing. Let me
tell you how I've been doing this with
529
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:45.199
some of my clients. The great
thing about a Philly marketing from my point
530
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.079
of view as a merchant, is
that because you're dealing with digital products,
531
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.639
you know, once you create them, it's not the same as you know,
532
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.760
other kind of products. Yeah,
like to have a small your profit
533
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.519
margin, so to speak, you
could be a pretty wide one be able
534
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.559
to cut it up. So in
my case, what I've done, and
535
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:06.800
this might be a private conversation with
you, but even though I charge I
536
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.559
pay sixty percent as an affiliate,
I actually have a second tier where I
537
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.840
pay ten percent. In other words, sometimes I've had people tell me,
538
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.760
you know, Paul, I'm not
a big marketer, you know what I
539
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:23.440
mean. But I know these organizations
over here who need fundraising. So I
540
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:25.960
said that that, well, you
know, feel free to connect me with
541
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.400
them, and I'll give you credit
for that. And so what happens to
542
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:34.320
the fundraising organization will get the sixty
percent, this individual, this individual get
543
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.559
ten percent for the for the UH, for the introduction, and then they'll
544
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:42.920
be making money off their efforts and
everyone's happy, you know. So in
545
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.639
other words, I just gave you
an example of a two tier system,
546
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:51.440
and there are many there are many
programs out there that are two tier.
547
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.000
So the idea that you could make
money on your own sales, and then
548
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:58.719
if you invite other people who said
I love the product, you know,
549
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:00.880
they'll say to January in January says, well, here, here's a link
550
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:06.079
to sign up, and you can
market it too in your venusing platforms and
551
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:08.800
your activities. And if they do
that, then you would get an override
552
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:13.880
on their activities. Yeah, and
that's a perfect that is a perfect business,
553
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:16.760
you know, for for seniors and
other people you know, like we're
554
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:21.719
disabled, et cetera. So Philly
marketing has a lot of power for many
555
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.000
different types of people. Out there, So it gets exciting once you know
556
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.239
how to start looking at it and
the light bulb goes off, and you
557
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:34.320
know, when you were talking about
the digital market, like I just realized
558
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:38.159
that we have to change my whole
website because if you can't see it on
559
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:45.199
your phone, it's not going to
be useful. And also finding out like
560
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:51.199
all of the books becoming audio books, audible is digital and you don't have
561
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:55.239
to have an inventory and it just
now is your book an audible book too?
562
00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:00.519
Yes, it is, actually is. I'm it's easy to etc.
563
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:02.719
So I'm glad they have it?
Is that? And did you do the
564
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.360
recording or did ten? No,
they got somebody with a more resonant voice
565
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.239
than myself, you know, but
maybe they should have got you because you
566
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:14.719
have a very pleasant voice. Yeah, yeah, I did. I hired
567
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:21.559
someone who I'd liked to sound like
great. I just I am so excited
568
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:23.960
having you on the show, and
I'm sure that I want to have you
569
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:32.199
come back after the holidays and check
in with you now for any of our
570
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:38.360
listeners. What are the most frequently
asked questions that people ask you about this
571
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:45.719
about your seminars and why you how
you can help them. Well, I
572
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.719
my seminars really, they did come
from my background, and they were designed
573
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.000
for people who don't make a lot
of money who want a lot of information
574
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:58.199
on the practical signe because that's been
where I've been for the last forty years.
575
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:01.320
Yeah, when people it got.
The amazing thing is that when I
576
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:06.519
started my first seminar, which is
called the fifty dollars Wealth Builder, Yeah,
577
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:08.280
you know, people turned to me
and they'd laugh and say, oh,
578
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.360
Paul, I would love to invest, but I don't even have fifty
579
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:15.679
dollars, so I go really,
So that's when I'd launched the second one,
580
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:19.800
which you call how to Start a
Home based Business. We live in
581
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:28.800
a time when the real necessity in
your success is your time, your desire.
582
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.599
It's no law. It's not starting
a business the way it was ten
583
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.559
or twenty or fifty years ago,
when you had to have a lot of
584
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.360
expertise, you had to have you
know, you had to hire a lawyer,
585
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:42.480
this and that, and you had
to pay a lot of money for
586
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.679
an office. You can run home, and you can do a business for
587
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.719
next to nothing, And you can
start an affiliate marketing business literally for nothing.
588
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:54.280
So a lot of people don't realize
this, and for me, as
589
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:59.000
you, I'm grateful you mentioned I
was a certified financier planner for thirty six
590
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:04.320
years. People with their finances all
the time, and so I was always
591
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.039
an advocate for people to have a
part time, whole business. And I
592
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.559
didn't care if they were a senior, if they were a teenager, a
593
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.039
college student, that it is,
the executive, a housewife. It didn't
594
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.519
matter to me because we all have
something we love to do, we all
595
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:23.400
have some spare time. And when
you add this dimension, it's beneficial for
596
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:28.159
a variety of reasons, like for
example, when you talk to financial planners,
597
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.480
they always talk about diversification. Right, you have to you be diversified
598
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.599
in your four h one K plan, diversified in your stock brokerage account,
599
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.519
and diversified you should have stocks and
bought whatever. But me, I took
600
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:43.719
it to different. Of course,
I love diversification for the people doing that,
601
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:49.320
but I said, but most people
are not diversified in their active wealth
602
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.880
building. Most people either have a
job or they're retired, and they have
603
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.159
a single pension source. To me, a sideline business, a part time
604
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.079
business, call it what you will. It added diversification to their picture.
605
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:05.880
It was perfect for seniors. And
I think about the people who lost their
606
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.079
jobs and everything else. Had they
had a second source of income, I
607
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:14.719
would have been properly diversified. They
were protected themselves to a greater extent,
608
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:19.199
for themselves, their loved ones,
and really taken advantage of what America is
609
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.719
about. Well, Paul, this
has been wonderful, but I just got
610
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:25.639
the word that we are we're running
out of time. And I hope the
611
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:32.159
one hundred and ninety thousand people each
month who download this program save this and
612
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.320
check in with Paul and sign up
for one of his seminars. And Paul,
613
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:42.679
I definitely would love to have you
come back and we'll do this again.
614
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:47.599
And for my dear listeners, I
hope you've enjoyed our time together and
615
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:52.480
I hope you've learned as much as
I have today. We always try to
616
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:58.639
be informative, and Paul is especially
inspiring. My upcoming guests will all be
617
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:04.440
eclectic, energized, and exciting,
just like Paul was today. Now I'm
618
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:08.639
signing off and thank you for entering
the No Wine Zone, or with Paul,
619
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:15.800
the Drinking Wine Zone. Share our
share stories, and share our show
620
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:22.920
with everyone you know. Remember you
need to stop whining and then start smiling.
621
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:28.000
And if that doesn't work, then
you can start eating chocolate, lots
622
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:34.400
and lots of chocolate. Take care
and stay safe until we meet again.
623
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:43.960
We want to thank you for listening
to January Jones sharing success stories. Always
624
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:47.199
remember miss Jones' personal mantra, if
you can think it, you can do
625
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.519
it. That's what all of our
guests have done with their lives, and
626
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:54.559
so can you. You are the
ultimate success coach in your own life.
627
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.400
All you need to do will be
to start sharing your own story with your
628
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:04.480
family and we hope that our guest
stories will encourage you to explore an equation
629
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:08.920
in your future that will combine your
creativity plus connecting with others will enable you
630
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:15.639
to be successful too. Always remember
your passion plus your purpose will equal prosperity
631
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:21.400
as you explore the wonderful world of
January Jones
