	<p style="text-align: left;">Not so long ago I had the same questions, but I was <strong>ready to try anything</strong> to get me to the life and income I dreamed about and to be there for my family on my terms.  <span style="color: #0097b2;"><strong>I was determined not only to be the mum my girls needed and deserved, but also to re-discover the capable, confident, income earning woman I'd once been in the military. </strong></span> I don't know where she went, but somewhere along the line of life, motherhood and circumstance, she'd gotten a bit lost, sceptical and broken!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I'd never heard of Affiliate Marketing, but I knew that doing something online would give me the freedom I was looking for.  I had no idea it would ultimately lead me to a far more fulfilling life than I'd ever had before.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What has found you here with me now? </strong><em>(seriously, comment below or drop me an email if you relate!)</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Whatever bought you here - I'm so happy you found me</strong>, because hopefully that will mean I can save you the time and money I wasted in overwhelm, frustration and scepticism, searching for answers to the questions I had when I discovered  the power of Affiliate Marketing.​</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>I (actually me, not AI!!)</strong> put this complete guide together to share  THE 7 THINGS  I wish I had better understood during my search. <strong> It's a bit of a long one</strong>, but my goal is that <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">this will be the only article you need to read before you start</span></strong> – so there’s lots to cover!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">​</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At the end of this article you’ll be closer to understanding how you too could create a life of freedom and flexibility around a business you love, so you can be there for the people you love and also do more of the things you love! I really hope this article will help you make the right decisions.</p>

<p><strong>I'm Jennie, and my family are the reason I'm here.</strong>  I'm a real mum, running a real business, earning a good income - but it's been a real journey (feel free to skip this bit, if you're just here for the info!!)</p>
<p><strong>I served in the Royal Air Force for nearly 23</strong> years before leaving to focus on being a mum.  I still wanted to work - we did have a mortgage to pay, but knew <strong>I didn’t want to have to ask a boss for time off</strong> when my girls needed me.</p>
<p>My au pair had been the one who was there for school performances and sports days, <strong>you don't get those days back</strong> - it was my turn to be there and I figured being self-employed was the only way to do that.  I had a big passion for fitness so after re-training, I launched a PT and post-natal bootcamp business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0097b2; font-size: 20px;"><strong>Then Life Happened </strong></span></p>
<p>I scraped by for a few years and was able to be the present (albeit mostly broke!) mum I’d hoped to be, but then things at home changed.  Too long for this article, but over a 5 year period we moved house 4 times and I suffered a big injury.</p>
<p><strong>My fitness business bit the dust and my mental health went down hill</strong> as I struggled to rehab my injuries and keep the family together through the chaos.  Through our moves, I’d tried to take my fitness business online, but as <strong>I was AWFUL with tech and not a huge fan of social media,</strong> I just couldn’t get it going.</p>
<p>I simply didn’t have knowledge to build the courses and sites, the skills to market it, and the ‘following’ to be seen and that left me with little energy or time to actually deliver my ‘stuff’!</p>

	<p>Towards the end of this period as we began a renovation job on our latest home, I came across some training <strong>showing complete beginners how to work online</strong>. The <a href="https://go.laptopmums.com/complete-guide?utm_id=intro_text-free-intro-course" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free intro course</a> I stumbled across showed me I didn’t need any tech knowledge, and there was <strong>no selling my soul on social media</strong> and I could <strong>start completely from scratch</strong>, with <strong>no ideas of my own.</strong></p>
<p>So (with some scepticism at first!) I decided I had nothing to lose by checking it out and ultimately investing in some education that at the very least, would <strong>improve my skillsets</strong>.  I followed step-by-step training to build an Affiliate Marketing business, and I LOVE IT!  It’s been hard work, but it’s been the most rewarding (mentally and financially) thing I’ve ever done.  I can fit my working schedule around the family and take days or weeks off at a time knowing that the systems I’ve put in place <strong>work for me 24/7.</strong>​</p>
<h2><span style="color: #0097b2;">Life today​</span></h2>
<p>I’m earning <strong>more money than I did as a military officer</strong> and that is increasing month on month as I improve my skills and re-invest in mentors and more advanced training.  And you know what, now that this is working, I’m <strong>using these skills to rebuild my fitness business</strong> in a whole new way (and I can now afford to pay others to do the tech stuff – which I can do myself now, but prefer to spend time with my family instead!!)</p>
<p><strong>I just wish I’d come across an article like this YEARS AGO.  </strong></p>
<p>Anyway, that’s enough about me for now, let’s get to the nitty gritty….</p>

	<p><span style="color: #0097b2;"><strong>The Bad</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Competition:</strong>  Affiliate marketing is becoming a very popular way to earn income from home, which means that there can be a lot of competition in some niches. You will need to find unique ways (and AI is making this so much easier) to differentiate yourself.<br />
Learning proven strategies (like the one I talk about in point 6) make it so much easier to be heard over the noise.<br />
​</li>
<li><strong>No Control over the Product:</strong>  As an affiliate marketer, you don't have control over the product or service you're promoting. This means that if the product doesn't meet the customer's expectations, it can reflect poorly on you as the affiliate marketer.  It’s therefore important to pick your products carefully.<br />
​</li>
<li><strong>Commission Cuts:</strong>  Some companies may reduce the commission rate for their affiliate marketers over time, which can impact your earnings potential.  It’s essential you work with an established business that looks after it’s affiliates and has clear guidelines.<br />
​</li>
<li><strong>Fluctuating Income:</strong>  Your income as an affiliate marketer can fluctuate depending on the performance of the product you're promoting, changes in the market, and other factors.  So again, you need to choose companies you trust and that perform well.<br />
​</li>
</ul>
<p><em>(Happily, there are MILLIONS of companies and when you align yourself with several that you love, you’ll have <strong>multiple income streams</strong>.)</em><br />
​</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Who can you trust to help you?:</strong> If you look on just about any company website, you will see the option to become an affiliate.  It doesn’t cost anything to join, but then what?  Great if you have thousands of followers, and a good understanding of how it all works, but what if you don’t?<br />
​</li>
<li>How do you set up the systems?</li>
<li>Track your income?</li>
<li>Market the product?</li>
<li>Build your audience and actually create a business you love?</li>
<li>How do you got from earning a few pennies to earning thousands?​</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0097b2;"><strong>Trusting your gut</strong></span></h3>
<p>Like me, you may have already been down numerous rabbit holes trying to work it all out, or bought books on how to make it work, and still be left overwhelmed.  <strong>I wanted to build a profitable business to pay off the mortgage and to give my family ‘experiences of a lifetime’, every year and not just promote a few links on social media for pennies.</strong></p>
<p>Hard work and investing in your skills and knowledge is what differentiates the go-getters with an entrepreneurial mindset, to the ones that want to ‘get rich quick’.  I knew in my gut I was in the right place after the first intro workshop.</p>
<p>I wanted to learn the skills to run my business on autopilot, so I can be there when my family needs me or for when I want to head out for a jump in a waterfall!</p>
