I am almost finished reading an amazing book that I must share with you. The book’s name is The Diamond Cutter. It is written by Michael Roach, an American, who moved to a Buddhist monastery, lived there for 20 years and got the degree of Geshe, the highest degree for a Buddhist academic monk. After 20 years, they sent him from the monastery with a mission: go back to America, join a modern company and implement the principles of the Buddhism within the company. The result was that after a few years Michael brought that company from a loan of $50,000 to a yearly volume of $1,000,000.

In the book, Michael explains very clearly why some business man fail in the same market where other business man succeed greatly. Or in our case - why some affiliates succeed while other affiliates in the same field or with the same persistence and effort, fail. I am sure you will say to yourself “There are a lot of reasons: products, keywords, landing pages, bid management…” but the true, the root reason why one fails while the other succeeds is deeper than that…

In the book, Michael explains that the reason is “mental registraions”.
Any conscious act you do in your life, creates a mental registration in your sub-conscious. If you did a negative act, like lied or harmed someone, you will create a negative registration. If you did a positive act like being truthful or helped someone, you will create a positive registration in your mind.
Those mental registrations created effects. Those effects, or results, can be manifested days, week or years after the mental registration was created. And the results, as you can guess, will be negative or positive according to the registration that created them.
I am sure you hear about Karma. This is basically what Karma is. But the problem is that most of the people in the western world think that Karma is something lie this: “if I will do something bad, the universe (or god) will punish me”. It is so far from the real meaning! the real meaning is basically “if I will do something bad, I will punish myself”. Can you see the difference?!

What this has to do with affiliate marketing?
It doesn’t have to be related. I am also a spiritual person and can write in my blog about all kinds of stuff
But actually it is related - those principles, if understood and practiced, can give you all the success that you want. It can make you a super affiliate, a successful business man, an entrepreneur or whatever you want!

And here are some basic principles you can use right now:

• Don’t deceive your customers (maybe you will think: what about my presell landing page where I say “my name is Kimberly Smith and I lost 50 pounds in 5 days”. This is tough, I know! I have one of those landing pages too!)
• Share your profit - be willing to share your profit even if it is a small amount with friends, family or someone in need.
• Don’t be jealous in other affiliates success.
• Don’t be arrogance with other people.
• Always present yourself as who you really are. Don’t try to be something you are not (this is very important for blog writers…)
• Don’t think or act miserly.
• Do your best to Keep your promises.
• Create partnerships and joined ventures only with honest people. Even if you have an opportunity with rich but dishonest partner…
• Don’t feel happy when your competitors lose - there is a piece of the pie for everyone.
• Be thankful for the people (and tools) that helped you achieve your goals or gain success (even if you paid money for it! you can still be thankful).

You should think about these principles each day and even write down your experiences during the day. Actually, in the book he guides how to create a special daily diary for mental registraions, But I won’t write about it now, I will leave something for the book

It can be difficult to comprehend how “acting nice” can bring more conversions for the product you are promoting… But maybe other mental registration would have got you to choose other product, or other method of promoting… You can never know what works.

The principle of mental registrations (or Karma) is practiced and proved to work at the easten world for a thousands of years.

I feel it is true. Like a lot of affiliates I also tried some funky and not so truthful techniques along the way. I asked myself sometimes - “should I do it or not”? And a lot of times I did the funky thing… Probably because I wasn’t aware of the great power of those mental registrations… It was more important for me to go ahead with this technique I have in mind because maybe it can lead to greater conversions…
From now I will do my best to practice those principles and the other principles written in the book daily, and become successful as I wish for

I wish you all the success and abundance in the world,
