Happy Saturday, Affiliate Marketers!
As I sit here, the fog has blanketed the city, making it oh-so-tempting to hit snooze on my alarm. But, instead of snoozing, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates and insights from my week—insights that can help you advance your own affiliate marketing journey.
Overcoming Tech Hurdles
First and foremost, I’m ecstatic to report that the domain issue I was grappling with last week is finally resolved. Huge thanks to the amazing support teams at domaine.com and SMTP.com, and especially to CJ from our Affiliate Solutions Community, who spent hours on the phone with me troubleshooting the problem. This experience taught me an invaluable lesson: never hesitate to reach out for help. Whether it’s a technical glitch or a strategic challenge, the right support can turn a major setback into a minor speed bump.
When you hit a roadblock, remember that there’s always a solution. Seek out resources and communities that can provide assistance. The right support can save you time, stress, and sometimes even a lot of money.
Leveraging Real-Time Feedback
This week, I also had a fantastic meeting with Sophie. She was thrilled with my email campaign, and I’m excited to announce that my Facebook ad is now live! Seeing traffic flow through my sequence is incredibly rewarding. For those of you just starting out, remember: setting up your ads is just the beginning. Success in affiliate marketing relies on continuous optimization and real-time feedback. Analyze your results, tweak your strategies, and always strive to improve.
Don’t just launch your campaigns and walk away. Regularly review performance metrics and be prepared to make adjustments. This iterative process is key to maximizing your ROI.
Embracing New Technologies
In other thrilling news, Dean recently announced a new AI feature that I can’t wait to test out. AI tools are revolutionizing our industry by streamlining processes and providing deeper insights. If you haven’t yet explored how AI can enhance your marketing strategies, now is the time. These technologies can offer valuable data, automate repetitive tasks, and give you a competitive edge.
Embrace new technologies as they emerge. AI and other advanced tools can significantly enhance your marketing efforts. Stay informed about the latest trends and be ready to integrate them into your strategy.
Balancing Professional and Personal Growth
Friday was a big day for me beyond the affiliate marketing world. I had a major presentation at work. It covered four key areas: Clinical, Creating a Special Place for Employees, Operations Excellence, and Growth. I’m thrilled to share that I nailed it and was offered a promotion! I’m still debating whether to accept the new role, but this experience reinforced a vital lesson: that hard work and dedication are crucial to achieving your goals.
Decision-making can be daunting, especially when considering how each choice aligns with your personal goals and happiness. I know I’m not alone in this struggle, and it’s something I constantly reflect on. If you’re in a similar boat, remember that every choice is a step on your journey, and sometimes the most challenging decisions lead to the greatest rewards.
The best advice I can give myself and others is when mulling over these decisions, make sure they align with both your professional goals and personal satisfaction. Reflect on what truly resonates with your aspirations and make choices that support your overall happiness. It is not about the right or wrong decision either, each decision leads you down a path, a new adventure, a journey, one that you should delve into a explore with an open mind and heart, give it your all and see where it leads you enjoying and celebrating the steps along the way.
What’s on My Plate Today
Today, my to-do list includes working on my ClickFunnels funnels for my books and updating the links inside, revamping my book launch strategy, and finalizing my latest book for publication. I’m also preparing a broadcast email and creating a video to share tips and advice with fellow marketers. I believe in the power of community and knowledge sharing, and I’m excited to contribute to our collective success.
With Dean’s Affiliate System program, our community has moved to Skool, it is the “hot” new platform – lol. It has been really exciting, and I have to say I love helping people, so when people get stuck and post a question, being able to make a quick how-to video and get them unstuck not only builds the relationship but makes me feel good I was able to help and a sense of pride showing all my hard work and learning are paying off, it feels really good to be like “ I know that, let me show you!”
It is important to continuously learn and grow, investing in your education and community. Sharing knowledge not only helps others but also reinforces your own learning and growth.
Your Affiliate Marketing Success
Here’s a nugget of wisdom for those new to affiliate marketing: Persistence and adaptability are your best friends. The journey is filled with learning opportunities, and every challenge you overcome brings you closer to your goals. Embrace the process, seek help when needed, and keep pushing forward. Your success is within reach!
Enjoy your weekend, and take some time to recharge amidst the hustle. Remember, we’re all in this together—moving from rookie to riches!
Here to support you every step of the way,

I admire your resolve to get things done, Alison.
If I were faced with some San Francisco fog, I’d surely want to make my way to the nearest BART station to get whisked away to the land of sunshine, lol.
I rather like your mention of your reaching out for help with technical hurdles. And it bears repeating, “the right support can turn a major setback into a minor speed bump.”.
You appear to be forging ahead well both professionally and personally.

Hi Alison – Even though we all need sleep, I’m glad that you didn’t hit the snooze button and shared with us this wisdom. This was such a great post and a lot to unpack and I’m happy to do so. I’m so glad you were able to get some of your issues settled with the help of a fellow colleague and friend, CJ. He has helped me in the past as well and his advice, patience and knowledge is invaluable! And I’m excited about the new technology that will be offered to us hopefully this week in the way of AI. The key is to not let it do our business but to be used as a tool for our business. I like your new friends, “Persistence and adaptability are your best friends.” I think I will make friends with them as well and as always, I thank you and wish you well this week. Now, you can get some sleep. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
