Motivational Monday: It Starts with Just One

The Power of One

With a downline system creating income, it can be easy forget the importance of individual members and focus solely on creating a huge team. The problem with looking at affiliate networking like this is that you can lose sight of the process. Don’t lose your motivation. While a huge team is a worthy goal, you still need to build that team one by one. Each time you add a new team member celebrate this landmark and respect your growth. Many of affiliates echo that they didn’t start out adding several new team members per day, week or even month. Instead they built their business person by person. Remember the power of one when you get discouraged and use it is your motivation. All it takes is one person at a time to propel you towards your goal.

SMART Goals

Your goals should also respect one by one growth building on each past achievement. One way to achieve this is by setting SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals. To achieve all aspects of SMART goals:

  • Select goals that are specific to what you wish to achieve. Rather than set the goal “make more money” set a specific goal of “generate 3 sign ups per week.”
  • Set goals that you can measure easily and compare to past goals.
  • Set goals that you can reach with hard work.
  • Set bigger goals that are still realistic.
  • Set goals that you can do with the time you have in the time frame you have.

Goals and growth in affiliate marketing can be achieved when you build your team one by one.

Our Favorite WordPress Features

wpGDI offers a WordPress plugin to all of our affiliates. It’s your choice what service you use to create your WebSite, but here are a few reasons we love WordPress.

Scheduling Posts

You can line up posts to be published when you are nowhere near a computer. All you need to do is create a post and then choose the date and time you want that post to appear. Hit “schedule” and your post is queued up, ready to go live for when you set it. This is a great feature if you’re going to be away from your computer for a while but want to keep a presence, or you just like to be ahead of the game with your content.

Plugins

WordPress is infinitely customizable with plugins. You can search from within the backend of WordPress for these or plug terms into Google to find just what you’re looking for. From contact forms to SEO to games and image sharing, there’s a WordPress plugin for anything you need or want.

Comments

Invite conversation and engagement with comments. Each WordPress blog is automatically set up to receive comments. You can turn off the comment feature if you like, but we recommend encouraging conversations with it. Visitors to your WebSite have a direct line to you and you can talk right back to them with comments.

Change Your Appearance

Don’t like the look of your WordPress site? You can change it! There are thousands of themes available online to help you customize your site. Search within WordPress or your favorite search engine to find any theme you can imagine.  Search and add widgets for a finishing touch to your personalized WordPress site.
