I’m starting to give out these ‘Affiliate Tips’!! It’s going to build YOU up as an ‘authoritive figure’ online- and then, increasing ALL types of sales!!

When doing marketing of all types, and ’selling’ ANY type of product(s)… especially Affiliate products, it’s so important that you have the RELATIONSHIP portion of your business down.. This is the one area that can literally make or break your business, and matter of fact, ANY business.. The relationships connects YOU with your customers, clients, and people in general. The more you work on the ‘relationship’ area of your business. Obviously, the stronger your ‘connection’ gets to that particular person. When the connection is strong- their inlays the **TRUST**… And to be honest, that’s what makes people buy!! Makes sense, huh?
If your a math wizard… think of it like this equation..
‘connection to the person’ + strong ‘RELATIONSHIP‘ = TRUST >< tighter bond = more SALES
It’s not rocket science 
But, seriously… in ANY thing you do in life, if the ‘relationship’ is strong.. people know what to expect out of you.. And if it’s trying to SELL something.. You want that ‘expectation’ to be GOOD!! I see this a lot.. people trying to sell their products / affiliate products, and their confused on ‘Why their not making sales?!?’ then I ask, “What is it YOUR doing to increase your ‘RELATIONSHIP’ with your clients… What value are you giving them..?” then, 9 out of 10 times I hear back that their seeing more leads, they’re converting more sales, and making more cash!! 
ALL because they are strengthening their RELATIONSHIP with their customers..
Try it out.. help some people in forums, chats, Ustream webinars, comment areas, etc…
To Building BIGGER RELATIONSHIPS!!

Relationship is the only long term method that brings you growth … if you sell a person one expensive item, whichever this might be, just for the sake of making your budget and closing the deal, you eventually will not see this client for a second time.
If you get the client, even the client who comes in with a concrete wish, and aask him or her what for she needs it, what his?her goals are .. you might end up selling a “light version” for the first time or maybe not selling anything as your product or service turns out not to be the very best alternative at this very moment … BUT .. you can be sure that THIS CLIENT WILL COME BACK, for his/her first sale with you or for further and alwys bigger sales … because she/he knows hat you only want to serve him/her best … that you really care for them and their problems and needs …
And all this above is ONLY possible through long term strong relationships. I hope to find them online here as I have found in my actual working life off the net ;-))
Thank you Ryan for sharing this very important Blog on RELATIONSHIP

Great stuff Ryan. It amazes me how many people don’t get this.
There is all this blatant “buy my stuff” and “join my program” advertising on the forums and in the social networks. It’s like they’re missing the whole point of having a forum and doing social marketing.
Those people don’t get my money.

Hi Ryan,
How does that saying go,”It’s NOT WHAT you know, but WHO you know.”!
So, ‘relationships’ can make or break your business growth as has been stated.
