The New Rich Blog

The Affiliate Summit will take place in 2 days and this is very exiting. However, to be honest, a month ago when I imagined myself at the Summit, I was sure that my situation will be different. I was sure that $100 profit a day will be a routine for me… I was sure I will have at least one successful campaigns and few others running. But the situation is different.

Right now I have one big campaign and you actually know what it is - eczema. I was running this campaign for a long time as an affiliate, and now i’m promoting it as a vendor. It is working, and it feels good to sell my own product, but it is still not “it”. It is not $100 a day.

I also worked together with a friend on a new campaign. We were sure it will be highly profitable, but it wasn’t. We had a lot of leads but it was always almost break-even.

So before the affiliate summit, I feel like I have a lot of knowledge. I feel that with all that knowledge I can be a “super affiliate”, but i’m not. It is like I know how to cook like a chef, but I don’t have the ingredients. So I stay hungry… Or I just make myself an omelet or something…

But i’m still optimistic I don’t give up! I believe in myself and I believe that I will find that amazing campaign that will bring me the profit and success I look for.

I really hope that this Affiliate Summit will bring me ides, inspiration, opportunities and new friends.

See ya
The New Rich

I don’t want to be rich. Well… This is not precise, I guess all of us want to be rich, but this is definitely not my goal. I don’t want a huge house and fancy cars, I don’t want luxurious furniture and a pool.
All I want is FREEDOM.

My first step towards this freedom is earning at least $100 per day until the end of March 2009. This is not too much to ask! I believe I will do it!

How will I do it? Affiliate marketing big time. I have decided to focus only on affiliate marketing for now. No Ebay, no Adsense, no email marketing, only affiliate marketing through Adwords.

Maybe others will say it is narrow, but believe me, you can work all day, all week - only in affiliate marketing through Adwords. Of course my duty is to report my progress to you!

This week was very difficult for me. It was more difficult to me than I thought it will. I work a lot, about 12 hours a day, mostly in affiliate marketing.  I am having a hard time managing my time. I feel each minute is crucial. It can be a minute of success or failure, profit or loss. I need to think what to do with my time. Will it be creating a new Adwords campaign? Selling on ebay? Email marketing? Programing? Or reading blogs? Studying?
What would it be… What will have the most positive outcome?

This week I didn’t had any income, except of the Old Coins Cashflow. I tried to take advantage of the Christmas and created a special campaign for that, it didn’t succeed well… I will uncover it in a later post.
Generally I had only two sales from my affiliate marketing efforts. I felt disappointment this week and it wasn’t easy for me. I expected more from myself…

So this weekend I invited myself to a conversation with me:

Me: “Why the hell are you feeling so bad?”
Myself: “You know, I consider myself as a talented creative person. I was sure it will be easier for me. Why I do not succeed, why???”
Me: “Godaam you! You only started walking on this path! Less than a month! Be patient! You are expecting immediate success but it doesn’t work like this…”
Myself: “You are right… Also I feel I don’t have enough time. I sit in front of the computer all day long and I never accomplish everything I want for the day”
Me: “How many things one person can do in a day? You try to do: affiliate marketing, ebay, adsense, mail marketing, freelance jobs, create websites, read books, go to courses, practice Yoga, write a blog… Any one of those can be a full time work… Let go… Try to do less but better… Relax…”

And the chat went on and on…
So this weekend I am doing a system rest. Tommorow is a new week. I will relax, take everything more slowly and let go of exaggerated expecations from myself.

I believe everyone have difficulties of this kind. I will be happy to hear yours

Reporting live fro freedom’s path,

The New Rich

I am very excited, I have recieved my first check from Google.

Just kidding

While I did get a check from Google, it wasn’t for that much. As you can see in the Richometer…
But I like this image. It is great encouragement. Encouragement is very important.
I want to share with you something that I do. Every day, first thing at morning. I am doing few minutes meditation and after this I do autosuggestion.

What do I mean by autosuggestion? I mean that each day I repeat my goals, and by this inserting them to my sub-conscious. Every day I tell myself how much I will earn and what I will do to earn it. I imagine myself seeing the amount I want in my account balance and then recieving the check. I imagine my happiness and the feeling of satisfaction.

I believe this is very important and I recommand you all doing it every morning. Say every day and really mean in. Your dreams will come true

I have just quit my job.
Was my boss an angry asshole? Not at all. He was one of the greatest bosses I ever had. Was my workplace a cubicle-florescent-LCD habitat for programmers? Not at all. It was a nice studio with music and sunlight. Was my job boring? Nope. I programmed flash games and interactive websites.
So why did I quit my job?
Because I had a dream…

In my dream I was free from the rat race, working for myself, whenever I want, where I want and the way I want. Or better than that - I travel the world with my girlfriend, every now and then logging in to my laptop to check that everything is okay and my money is still working for me.

So many times in life we want to do something and we are afraid. Or we are just waiting for that perfect moment, we are waiting for all the lights to become green: “I don’t have enough money”, “I don’t know what I will do”, “I am afraid of my wife”, “I have nice paycheck”… well, let me tell you something - all the lights will never be green. If you will wait too much, you will find yourself working in the office 8 to 5 (at best) to the rest of your life.

So I quit my job and started walking the path to join the New Rich.

I believe you may have the same thoughts or… you are already in the same path as me.

In my blog I would like to share with you my insights my experiences. Although this post was little philosophical, they won’t all be. I will also share with you real practical information, advices and techniques that I will discover along the way.
Of course you are most welcome to share too.

I welcome you and hope you will enjoy the New Rich Blog!

Yours,

The New Rich
