Affiliate Marketers: Learn how you can use the power of peer-to-peer collaboration and co-creation to build a massive, responsive list and explode your income.
Let’s start with a definition of the phrase peer-to-peer collaboration and co-creation:
- Peer-to-peer basically means people engage each other professionally outside of the box of a traditional company or corporation;
- A good example is where open-source software developers from all over the world collaborate to develop software completely independent of corporate control or corporate funding;
- Crowdfunding is also an example of peer-to-peer production, where entrepreneurs raise capital from their peers and not a financial institution.
Peer-to-peer collaboration and co-creation come alive with internet connectivity. For example:
- People can use the Internet to collaborate and form new large-scale collaborative alliances;
- These alliances can harness economic power far beyond what any individual can accomplish; and
- These alliances can then strategically deploy this economic power to create new economic value and wealth for each participating individual within the alliance.
Don Tapscott, in his book called Wikinomics, has a simple but famous quote
Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
The book emphasizes the power and importance of mass collaboration in an internet-centered world.
How Does This Apply to Affiliate Marketing?
We use peer-to-peer collaboration and co-creation methodologies to package a lucrative collaboration among affiliate marketers and aspiring entrepreneurs. Affiliate marketers get to build a massive and highly responsive email list while earning multiple income streams. Aspiring entrepreneurs get access to new funding resources to fund their entrepreneurial aspirations. WIN-WIN
Consider this play-by-play scenario (Note: You need to review all six plays below to completely understand the power of this system.)
Play #1
You and other affiliate marketers collaborate over the internet to create a crowdfunded pool of funds. The crowd in this case are you and other affiliate marketers who decide to donate a percentage of your commission income into the pool.
- The goal of this fund is to provide a new source of funding to help aspiring entrepreneurs start businesses. Funds are allocated based on business-related qualifications and parameters
- You and other affiliate marketers create a membership organization to facilitate operations, with membership being free for aspiring entrepreneurs looking for funding.
Play #2
You and other affiliate marketers create marketing websites and opt-in forms to promote this free membership to aspiring entrepreneurs. All aspiring entrepreneurs have to do is opt-in with their name and email address to participate in the funding.
- During membership orientation, all aspiring entrepreneurs will understand that this is a peer-to-peer collaborative business exercise among affiliate marketers and aspiring entrepreneurs.
- Aspiring entrepreneurs will also understand that all funding is aspirational, not a guarantee. In other words, they will understand the business model and how affiliate marketers are encouraged, not required, to donate a percentage of their commission income to the fund.
- Aspiring entrepreneurs will also understand that they are encouraged, not required, to review and purchase products and services offered to them by their referring affiliate marketer. However, they are not required to buy anything to participate in the funding. Again, funds are allocated based on business-related qualifications and parameters.
Play #3
Once set up, you and other affiliate marketers can aggressively promote the fund to aspiring entrepreneurs and associated systems and build a massive and responsive list.
- The list will be responsive since aspiring entrepreneurs are encouraged to at least review products, services, and information presented by their referring affiliate marketer because they know that affiliate marketers donating back is the source of funding.
- Again, aspiring entrepreneurs are not required to purchase, but this will significantly increase the open rates and eyeballs on your content as an affiliate marketer. Of course, it’s up to you, as an affiliate marketer, to build a good rapport with your list and present high-value-added content and product/service recommendations.
Play #4 (Supercharge): Explanation/Purpose
Plays #1 through #3 are the foundation of this system. However, as you can imagine, it will take a while to build up a significant fund with this foundational system, to the point where aspiring entrepreneurs may lose interest. So, we have to supercharge this business model with Play #4. You can also look at this Play #4 model as building a house on the foundation laid with Plays #1 through 3.
- To supercharge the system, affiliate marketers must engage in a special strategic alliance among themselves with the expressed purpose of significantly increasing the amount of income they can earn with this system as well as the speed at which they earn it. In addition, the income must be a continuous monthly residual income.
- With fast and monthly residual income coming in, affiliate marketers will be financially able and motivated to donate month, after month, after month into the fund, which will lead to exponential growth of the fund, especially as the team of affiliate marketers grows.
- Remember, this is done via a special strategic alliance among affiliate marketers ONLY, without relying on aspiring entrepreneurs to purchase products and services as noted under Play #2.
- Now, when aspiring entrepreneurs see affiliate marketers donating and funding the pool of funds without relying on them purchasing products/services, this will build confidence in the system, and aspiring entrepreneurs will want to do their part and work harder to consider products/services presented to them by their referring affiliate marketers. Consequently, affiliate marketers will earn even more money.
Again, WIN-WIN.
Play #4 (Supercharge): The Strategic Alliance
To supercharge this system, we encourage all Affiliate Marketers to participate in a simple strategic alliance to link three (3) network marketing distributorship websites to all referral activity. These network marketing distributorships operate under the hood of all referral activity while allowing affiliate marketers to build lucrative network marketing distributorships. Here’s an outline:
- The primary marketing focus of you and other participating affiliate marketers is to refer aspiring entrepreneurs and other affiliate marketers to this free system.
- As people review this system and learn what we are looking to do here, they will choose their participation level. Some will choose to just position themselves as aspiring entrepreneurs in the system looking for funding. Some will position themselves as affiliate marketers looking to build a responsive list, per Play #3. In addition to Play #3’s benefits, some affiliate marketers will choose to participate in this strategic alliance and set up one of the three network marketing distributorships.
- Therefore, if you assume you are a referring affiliate participating in this strategic alliance, when you refer an affiliate or an individual who chooses to participate in this strategic alliance, they will follow instructions and sign-up in your downline across all three distributorships. You earn immediate commissions as well as future overview commissions from all three distributorships.
- Under this alliance, you and other affiliate marketers have the potential to earn up to nine income streams across three distributorships, with six of the income streams being monthly residual income. Upfront commissions are immediate when you refer someone who chooses to join this strategic alliance upon learning the system.
From this, it’s easy to see how this can supercharge the income of all participating affiliate marketers and the growth of the fund.
Since many have a negative vibe regarding network marketing, participation in this strategic alliance is 100% optional among affiliate marketers.
Play #5 (Icing on the Cake)
With traditional network marketing, on average, distributors have to recruit other distributors to get customers. In other words, their only customers are the distributors they recruit. Very few have customers who are not distributors, which severely limits their income.
When considering this system and Play #3, you and those in your downline will have a built-in customer base who are not distributors. This means you can market the products/services associated with the distributorships to the aspiring entrepreneurs on your email list and earn significant commissions. Better yet, those in your downline can market the products/services associated with the distributorships to the aspiring entrepreneurs on their email list and you earn override commissions down multiple generations of referrals.
The bottom line, as this system grows and expands, your income can explode under this Play #4 strategic alliance.
Play #6 (The Fund Feeds On Itself)
Aspiring entrepreneurs who secure funding from this system, launch a business, and start earning income will have the option to donate a percentage of their earnings to the fund. As this happens over and over again over time, the fund will just feed on itself and grow continuously. This is just another testament to the power of large-scale collaboration.
Summary
This is the dynamics of collaborative business development among affiliate marketers and aspiring entrepreneurs. As you can see, it’s WIN-WIN. Affiliate marketers get to build a massive and highly responsive email list while earning multiple income streams and aspiring entrepreneurs get access to new funding resources to fund their entrepreneurial aspirations.
