Hello There And Welcome to Day 1 

Congratulations! Taking this first step on Day 1 of my 5-days Email Course is the crucial first step to the solid foundation of your online business.

Today’s Course Contents:

• What to expect in the coming days
• A broad overview of what you’ll be doing as the owner of an online business (more details in the future)

Many aspiring online marketers expect an “automatic”, “done for you” and “few clicks success” system that will generate them money overnight or in just a few days. Let’s get that idea out of your head right now.

Making money is going to take some time, and plenty of patience while you learn.

The concepts are very simple. They are easy enough that anyone can achieve success, regardless of their background for as long as they can use a computer and speak English.

Yet, even though the concepts are very simple, doing them correctly will take some practice and patience. Don’t worry though, you’ll have myself and a circle bunch of other successful people help you out as you grow as a new internet business owner.

Coverage of this week

• What it means to do business online
• What is affiliate marketing
• How to make money with your blog.
• Choosing a direction for your new business
• Setting up your first website
• Building and expanding your business
• Popular business models
• Hype vs reality
• How to get started
• Where to get support
• Plus a couple more bonuses after the final day of the course

I will also have about 3 tasks for you to complete each day. These tasks are to get you started ‘taking action’ – one of the most important factors for success. Remember, if you don’t take action, everything is just a theory. You can’t buy anything with theoretical money.

So, I hope to see you in the coming days, because I am going to open your eyes to something that can truly change your life forever.

The Affiliate Marketing and Me

My name is Che. I’ve been an online entrepreneur since 2009. I’m a Registered Nurse (RN) by profession. I’m an investor and an offline entrepreneur. I achieved my financial freedom at the age of 24 (2003) through offline business. Yet, I found online entrepreneurship as the most exciting business adventure. It gives me the best way to help people to become successful and achieve their financial freedom too – whether it’s online or offline.

However, being a successful offline business owner doesn’t necessarily guarantee an instant online success. Although, I must mention that my offline businesses boosted up by making them visible online too. So, online marketing is absolutely indispensable today.

The online business wasn’t always easy for me back in 2009, because it takes time before you can see the result or earn a dollar. So, your patience will definitely get tested. I quit and started all over again and again until I found the real way on how to do it right.

E-commerce, Web shops, Drop shipping, PPC, PPV, multi-leverage marketing, online surveys, automated trading systems, cryptocurrency trading… you name it, I almost tried them all, and never achieve any long-term success. The worst thing was that I met scams and bad business models that I fell with several times.

After the above-mentioned adventures, I found out that Affiliate Marketing through Blogging works best for me. This has changed everything by realizing that earning money online is easy for as long as you stay focus and never quit along the way.

Blogging gives me the time freedom to work anywhere and the financial freedom from the endless possibilities of earning passive income with it.

So, today I don’t want you to experience all the expensive trials and errors that I had before. Because the real key is FOCUS and your patience along the way.

Obviously, my journey to owning an internet-based business wasn’t all fun and games. I had to do a lot of work, in the beginning, to get where I am today! And this is basically the same as the offline business.

The good news is that I’ve already taken this path before and will help you navigate your way to earning your first dollar.

The Affiliate Marketing & You

This course is for complete newbies and intermediate affiliate website owners. If you’re already earning a full-time income as an online marketer, you’ll probably be bored with these lessons.

In that case, please feel free to contact me privately inside Wealthy Affiliate to see if I can help you with something specific.

As promised, the concepts covered and tasks required in this course are very basic, but are very important to getting into the right mindset to build a solid foundation of a successful, long-lasting and legitimate online business.

Regardless of your experience, it only takes a few minutes to skim down the page and look for corns of wisdom.

Many “gurus” out there teach garbage because it “sounds” great and convincing, but it doesn’t work.

You do not need to be an expert in anything to be able to benefit from this course, or from affiliate marketing.

I started out without any background with online business and the success is immeasurable – both personally and financially.

I absolutely believe that you can do the same if you follow the simple steps within this course.

Getting Started – Golden Advice

Based on my own experience as a complete newbie, here are some very useful tips to keep in mind over the next couple of days.

• Take it slow.

Quitting is the number 1 reason for failure. Many people quit in the beginning because they feel overwhelmed with a lot of information to take in, and sometimes it’ll seem like everyone has a “head start” on you. Don’t worry. This is your OWN journey. Take all the time you need.

Of course, it’s very important to take actions as well, but if something comes up and you need to take a break for a day or two, do it. The internet will still be here when you get back.

• Forget about the money for now.

It’s crazy to say that, I know, but remember that making money is just a part of the business and you need to build a solid foundation for your success. In order to do that, you MUST learn other essential concepts and skills.

This is not a “get rich quick” scheme, and you will not be making money overnight. So please forget about the money for now and concentrate on the skills you need before you earn money.

For instance, you need to learn how to write a high-quality article for your blog before you start promoting products.

Don’t get mistaken though. It is, of course, possible to make a lot of money doing this online business and it makes some people into millionaires. However, that takes time and contrary to what some scammers persuade you to believe. It’s impossible to start making money right away. It can take 3-6 months before you start to see results.

3. Take Action, Take Action, Take Action.

Oh, did I say take actions? Well, the only thing that you’ll hear from REAL internet marketers hammer into your skull is that the most important thing right now is to take action. It literally means to DO something, not just read about it.

Taking actions is very important even if you feel stupid or silly, try to do everything in the lessons. If you get stuck, just ask for help.

Everybody makes mistakes along the way. The secret is not to fear to make them. You need to look at them not as a blocker, but as one step forward in the right direction.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow, we’re going to get into a more concrete business building and the direction you’re going to take your business.
