The Secret of SUCCESS...


I've read a lot of self development books over the last 10 years, Napoleon Hill and Tony Robbins being two of my favorites.

And would credit them with helping me to improve just about every aspect of my life.

Recently I was introduced to the work of Earl Nightingale.

The video (audio with a picture) is of his "strangest Secret". I love it, and listen to it most days​ and would credit it with supercharging my idea creation and confidence.

I hope it may do the same for you...​

​SUCCESS = THE PROGRESSIVE REALISATION OF A WORTHY GOAL

If you think daily about your goal and take consistent action towards it's achievement - YOU CANNOT FAIL!

It's a law of nature; like gravity...

Just about every successful person I've read about suggests that the greatest battles we fight are between our own ears.

So do yourself a favour and create a goal or purpose great enough to power you through adversity, because the journey is rarely all plain sailing.

Creating the correct mindset is key to your success in ANY challenge you undertake... including creating success online.

So let's consider the best proven vehicle (strategy / plan / clear set of actions) for taking beginners from zero to successful...​

The Vehicle For Success


There are many different strategies or business plans (I like to think of them as vehicles) that claim to offer the fastest A to B performance (start to success)...

Beating the affiliate marketing grind from point A to point B

So how do we know which is best for us?

Unless we have a friend who's an expert and knows our own strengths and weaknesses​, the likelihood is we're going to gave to take some sort of leap of faith...

yikes!

But we can dramatically improve our chances of success by researching proven methods, and cross checking with social media for success / failure stories (the Internet allows few secrets).​

But even though others may succeed with a method doesn't guarantee your success, we're all different and you will need to find a vehicle that suits you're abilities, budget, available time, whilst hopefully being something your passionate about so you can stick with it for the long-haul.

Be very wary of anything that promises fast results!​

A Proven 'EVERGREEN' Vehicle For Success...​

Evergreen: something that's going to be around for the foreseeable future...

​I'm going to call it Attraction Marketing though it's also called niche, blog, or content marketing.

You create / collate content that you love, that inspires, interests, and motivates you on a website that you own (more on this later). 

The idea being that this content will also inspire and interest others as well.

​There are many ways to earn from the audience you attract and help / entertain:-

  • Sell advertising space on your website Google Adsense is a very good program
  • Earn commissions by promoting other peoples products (affiliate marketing) 
  • Sell your own products or services
  • Sell physical products (e-commerce)
  • A mixture of some or even all the above

​A website is an asset.

And starting a website based business is one of the lowest risk, low cost, proven business models available today.

But will starting a website be right for you?

Until you try it I doubt you'll know.

The good news is you can try it out for free.

Get Started For FREE...


​I joined Wealthy Affiliate (WA) because it had been established for over 10 years with a very good reputation (hype free) and lot's of REAL success stories.

Offering two 100% free websites and video training gave me everything I needed to test out the system and decide if it was right for me.​

If you want to read my detailed review of Wealthy Affiliate click here, other wise I would sum up WA by saying that WA works because they've refined the training (over 11 years at time of writing), and they provide a 'community' that provides, advice, support and motivation to help people take the right actions.

    Hi Richard,
    I would have to agree with everything you say here about Wealthy Affiliate. It is just a fantastic place to be and the fact you can check it out for free speaks volumes. I only recently stumbled across this website building platform and I am just thrilled with the training and tools we get to use for such minimal cost.

    I would suggest anyone who is reading this to truly consider Wealthy Affiliate. You really need a website for your online business and you will not find a better place to get the website profitable than right here with them.

    • admin says:

      Hi Sharon,

      Thanks for commenting.

      Yes; if you want to build something solid online you absolutely MUST have a website. There are many ways to earn online and many platforms that you can use to grow your business, and you should use the ones that are right for you (Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest etc are examples), but a website is owned by you, nobody can take it away from you … it’s a real asset.

      But only if it’s built correctly, no ‘loopholes’, or trying to game the system.

      WA teaches us how to do this …no ‘easy’ money and rarely super fast results.

      But something that can last your lifetime (maybe beyond)

      Advice: pick a topic or niche for your site that you’re passionate about, or that really holds you interest.

      Will this topic be as enticing in 3 years time?

      This is important, try and pick something that you’ll enjoy whether it earns money or not, as the start of this journey is always the toughest.

  • Israel says:

    Hi Richard!

    What I find most important of what you stated is the fact that WA is a proven method to be successful online. It’s been more than 12 years now since they’ve been out there and I’ve seen many success stories happen.

    So, what else can you ask for? If it works, you need to go for it 😉

    Thanks for the sharing this thorough review!

    • admin says:

      Thanks Isreal,

      I guess the fact that the WA approach doesn’t happen fast puts people off. Which is a shame because even if it took 5 years of consistent effort to get to a job replacing salary surely that would be worth it?

  • Dave says:

    Hey Richard,

    I want to get started with the website building and make money with affiliate products. I have heard good things about wealthy affiliate and how they keep evolving.

    I even heard that they launched a new wiritng provision that is super cool today. So it true? And do you think I’ll make to $20,000 per month with just one website?

    • admin says:

      Welcome Dave,

      Some people make over $20k month with just one website, unfortunately, that’s not me …yet.

      It could be you, do you have a proven plan and the conviction to follow that plan?

      I don’t know what new writing provision you refer to, so I can’t comment on that yet

      Good luck Dave.

  • Louise says:

    I love the Earl Nightingale speech! Very inspiring. I like his quote about what success is as well. It definitely is about mindset and being brave enough to not conform! Sometimes I wonder what I’m doing by not having a ‘conventional’ job and struggling on but something inside me wants to keep going as the thought of going back to a mind-numbing job is far worse!

    Thanks for such an inspiring post 🙂

    • admin says:

      Thanks Louise, keep on struggling on. I can’t remember the exact quote but the sentiment is the very successful have failed way more than us because they try more… many things they try fail …but not all.

      Pick a proven business model, and really try it out, don’t play at it. Ask yourself at the end of the day have I really done the best I can do? 

      …and then do better tomorrow 🙂

  • Chaabaya says:

    11 years of experience on the subject without any hype sounds convincing enough for me. ‘We become what we think about’ like the video states, and that human beings can alter their lives are powerful statements i picked and had not really thought much about. Believe and succeed
    without blaming circumstances, make them as quoted from Benard Shaw are also empowering words.

    The fact that joining WA is presented as free yet it contains loads of training is also very attractive i must say. I now can see how it was easy for me to join WA, it’s not ambiguous, doesn’t promise overnight wealth except hard work and dedication.

    • admin says:

      Thanks for commenting Chaabaya.

      Yes, WA has worked to round off any rough edges to the system.

      It works…

      Though it’s worth repeating that is not any sort of fast get rich system. Results take time and consistent action.

      A price worth paying I believe…

  • shrey says:

    Hey, I too wanted to make money online but as I have heard from most of the folks, they all say that it really takes a lot of time to actually see some great income flow from websites.
    How long does it take on average to make money online and how many hours of work do you put into your business?

    • admin says:

      Shrey welcome!

      Impossible to answer your question accurately because there are so many variables around keywords used quality of content, posting frequency, and monetization method.

      I’ve created a success archive which features some people’s stories who have done this faster than the normal – Not you’re typical.

      On the pro-side, I would remind people that a well-constructed website over time can become a life-changing asset. Built part-time I would suggest it takes one year of posting 2 quality articles per week to see some real traction in terms of growing visitor volume.

      Personally, I put in about 8-10 hours a week.

      I’ve also used paid advertising to speed up traffic flow. This was quite profitable for me until getting my accounts banned (have to be super careful promoting anything in the make money space). The other negative from this is that I got lazy and stopped posting consistent content relying on paying for traffic instead.

      If I had my time again, I would recommend consistent posting (getting ranked in Google is slow but worth the effort), using paid advertising to speed things up BUT pointing it at content that doesn’t talk directly about making money and ideally offers something of value that can be exchanged for an email address (list building).

      Kyle teaches PPC in Wealthy Affiliate and it works very well, obviously be careful, but once you sort the non-profitable ads and keywords out it’s a faster way to earn money.

      I hope this helps.

  • Rina says:

    This is a great article and is right up my alley. I love to learn about the power of the mind and how to exercise the mind to keep it in good shape. Think And Grow Rich is my favourite, written of course by Napoleon Hill. I have read the book about 10 times over the years and it has helped me immensely. I am a Wealthy Affiliate member and I have my own online business as a result – amazing! Amazing because I would not be where I am today without having the belief and determination and I am forever grateful for what I have learnt from Wealthy Affiliate.

    • admin says:

      Hi Rina, yeah I love Think and Grow Rich too.

      When I see the various stats that say that well over 90% of people that try to create something online fail. It really bothers me, because though I don’t want to suggest it’s easy, it sure isn’t as tough as the stats suggest.

      In my opinion, in not people failing, it’s people giving up too soon. It takes time to learn new things to a point where you can implement successfully, but once you’ve done it you have a skill set that you can leverage for the rest of your life…

      I like the Earl Nightingale videos for a quick ‘hit’ of mental conditioning, fast and very convenient.

      Thanks for your comment Rina.

  • Mike Jay says:

    You really knocked the cover off the ball with this article!

    You beautifully explained the evergreen vehicle and secrets of success.

    I especially appreciate you saying that your website is an asset. I’m all about owning and controlling assets as the way to build true wealth. It appears you are building an asset that will generate perpetual income for you.

    I wish you all the best!

    Blessings,
    Mike Jay

    • admin says:

      Thank Mike, 

      Yes, a website is an asset, add list building, and quality follow-up and you have the powerful core of a business that can make you a lot of money. Nothing new just a proven evergreen system that just about every successful business uses.

  • Hi Richard

    I joined Wealthy Affiliate a few weeks ago and my website has been indexed by Google already. It just shows what an awesome online affiliate training platform WA is! I would definitely recommend anybody interested in affiliate marketing to join Wealthy Affiliate.
    All the best!

    • admin says:

      Glad your luvin WA. It’s a great program that has thousands of success stories. It takes time and consistent effort though, pick something that you’ll enjoy building over the long-term and you’ll be alright.

      Thanks for commenting Nicolaas.
