How to build a relationship with your audience for your affiliate partnership offers from the right foot. 

Let's talk a bit about martial arts. You probably watched many movies about it, participated in local self-defense groups, or even tried to become a professional fighter? There are some essential principles in martial arts that can you can use in your affiliate marketing endeavors. And those principles, as seen, again and again, can quadruple your success. You would probably outsmart other affiliates in a space that is trying to sell the same product or similar offer. And this has nothing in common with the size of your audience nor the size of your list or YouTube Channel. I am talking, of course, about leverage here. Some superpowers that you can turn on and become unstoppable. So what is leverage in martial arts? Leverage is when even being smaller, you win because you know how to use your body so that your partner in the fight can’t. There are ways to kick a competitor in their peaceful places like head or knees in eastern martial arts or by using the opponent’s weight and mass against him. Same in affiliate marketing success. There is no need to be the biggest guy/gal in the room to win a creative fight here. As a result, you will not probably put someone out of business, but part of the customers that now belong to others will be yours even if you are in a highly competitive market. And that will give you two, three, or even five times more customers than you have now. Of course, this means you will bring you accordingly two, three, or even five times more money to grow your business and feed your family. But the right implemented leverage will not only bring you more money but will make your life easier. For example, one of the side effects can be that you will grow your list much faster, and the word of mouth of your current subscribers/clients will be on fire. And all of this regardless of your current list size or your name recognition. Ok, enough intro here, and let's look at one of the fundamental strategies that can give you that tremendous leverage that I so nicely pictured you. It can seem extremely simple, and I would say even banal. Here it is: "Truly caring about your audience.” It is not as simple as you can think about it because most people don't do it. Genuinely caring about your customers’ list is vital that all the superior funnels and products will not give you that leverage without this critical ingredient. What do I mean about "Caring"? The unique approach here is to see real people: their problems, desires, needs, expectations, fears, etc. - and sincerely profoundly caring about them. Think about them as not cold emails or names that subscribed to you, but as human beings - as your own second family. If you don’t do this, then there is a chance that you will think about them as a list of people that will send money to your bank account just on your wish: you press a button - send your offer in an email and become rich. Partly - just on the surface, that process looks like that. But without a mind-shift about "truly caring about people," long term success is not possible IMHO. How to do it? Instead of just coming up with a marketing promise, excellent copy, or video, ask yourself what the real current need or problem of people you want to serve is and how you can help solve it with your service product or offer. It changes the way your audience responds to your offers. This mind-shift is simple but powerful that will give you significant long term leverage. Trust me on that implementation, and this will make you stand out from the marketplace. By the way, one of the “technical” implementations you can do is to create a bridge landing page that talks about “needs” and problems that a product you are promoting solves. And you can do it easily on the Contexter platform. Just go to contexter.org, and you will find a free course you can take about affiliate marketing for
