You are the 5 people you surround yourself with. And I've personally found
that surrounding myself with other people that are in the business I want
to go into has helped me exponentially. And that's why I'm going to be discussing
the best affiliate marketing forums in this video. Because forums have helped me
out massively in my success of affiliate marketing to the point where I make now
millions of dollars per year. So, take this seriously. Check out some of these
forums. I'm going to explain a little bit about each of these 5 forums here and
how they can benefit you and who they specifically are going to cater to
within the affiliate marketing community.
So, wicket fire is the oldest forum on this list. It's been around for God knows
how long before I was even in affiliate marketing.
And this caters to... I don't really know
who. I think it caters more towards
people who do SEO which is like blogging and whatnot. Because it's been around so
long that it's really lost a lot of its flavor but you can still go into wicked
fire. And see just thousands and thousands and thousands of posts from
people who have been marketing for many years online. It's still active. There's a
lot of information out there. And you might want to check it out just to see
what sort of information you can glean from other people.
Now, the next forum is Warrior Forum. This is a very popular forum. Very active
today. But it really caters more towards people who are just like brand spanking
new to affiliate marketing. I mean, if you're like, "What is a link or like where
do I find an affiliate link?" Or like, "What is a webpage?" You know? You
might do well on Warrior Forum. But one thing to keep in mind is that on Warrior
Forum, they have tons of different products. Everybody seems to be selling
their 5-dollar guide to making butt loads of money through some tactic. And
one thing to kind of beware about is that if people are selling their
information for 5 dollars and they're spending a lot of time marketing
themselves. On a forum, which is not scalable, it probably means
they're broke. You know? If... You know, people spend so much time on graphics to
reach a very small audience to make 5 dollars from a hundred people. It's not a
lot of money. You know, you have to look at yourself when when you're on any of
these forums. You have to watch out for you know who's selling what products.
Because you have to ask yourself, "Does this person have what I want to have?" And
in choosing a teacher, you have to ask yourself that. Does this person have what
I want to have? Really understand who you're going to learn from. It's not worth
your time to spend money on a 5-dollar guide typically. Because
oftentimes, you're just gonna get misinformation. You know, I found that when I
was beginning my internet marketing journey, I bought the cheapest you know
I'd either I'd either find free information or I bought the cheapest
information possible from marketers who's whether they were successful or
not, it was kind of a you know I wasn't sure. So, the point is just because it
sounds good and looks good. If the person is not very successful, don't learn from
them. Because you don't... That won't help you. So, there's a lot of that on
Warrior Forum. So just watch out for all the people selling stuff on Warrior Forum.
Now, this third forum is based off of a book that I highly recommend everybody
buy. It's called The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. This book has helped me
grow as an entrepreneur so much. If you've seen other videos of mine, you
hear me talk about Tim Ferriss' book, The 4-hour Work Week and how that
influenced me to go down this path of starting an internet business. Well, the
second book that would be your close runner-up behind that that helped me
really define my business and get on a big growth curve has been The
Millionaire Fastlane. And that's what this next forum is a derivative of. Now,
the Fastlane forum is not specifically on affiliate marketing. It's really just
on making money working for yourself in general. But that being said, this is
perhaps the best overall forum I found on the internet. Because it's
created by MJ DeMarco and there's so much cool interaction
there. It's really cool to check in on all the different ways people are making
money whether it's in real estate or sales or stock trading or affiliate
marketing or e-commerce. There's people making money a million different ways on
the Fastlane forum and seeing the success stories, seeing the trial and error.
Seeing the real stories from real people on this forum is just so cool. And
there's a lot of it. And it it's it's a great forum. I highly suggest you check
it out. Again, it's not very focused on affiliate marketing. But it is focused on
success working for yourself. And I found that getting into the mindset, that's
probably the biggest hurdle for most people that are trying to make it online.
Now, if you've been trying a number of businesses, trying to become successful
but you haven't been successful in any one of them, it's not likely that you're
unlucky. It's likely that you just don't have the mindset or the wherewithal or
the commitment or the dedication. For whatever reason, being in a place like
this will help you get in to the right state of mind. So, I put a massive star
next to this forum. Great place to be. So, stack that money. Get that
money, stack it. Stack that money is a pretty good forum for aggressive
marketers. Stack that money is purely focused on affiliate marketing. And
within affiliate marketing, it's almost purely focused on ad buying. Now, I
joined this forum in 2011. On my profile, it shows I joined in November in 2011.
And this forum really helped me get to my first big successes online. I was
a regular on this forum just checking posts every single day. This
forum really helped me through and become very successful. Now, there's a lot
of highly successful marketers that post on this forum. Many guys making millions
of dollars a year from affiliate marketing. If you joined this forum
you'll see all the tactics. I found that the forum doesn't have as much good
information anymore on this cutting edge stuff that's happening now or the same
sense of camaraderie that it used to have. But you know... Maybe that's you know
just me being an old geese these and saying "Oh, things changed."
There's a lot more people selling stuff on the forum now. One thing to note is
that on the stack that money forum, I think it kind of changed once they
started selling their own training course on the forum. Now, forums are in my
mind, supposed to be a place to just kind of discuss amongst people. Not to kind of
push people in a certain direction to take a particular training. It's just
supposed to facilitate discussion. And what I didn't like is that you know, I
went through the training course, you know, when when they first released their
own training course. And honestly, I didn't really think it was a good
training course. I mean, less than mediocre. I wasn't impressed with it.
But that being said, you know... That's when I think it started going downhill a
little bit. But there's still a lot of good posts in there. There's a lot of
gold. One thing about the stack that money for them is it is $99 a month, okay?
So, keep that in mind when you're joining this forum. This is a paid forum. But
that being said, you get higher level people when you have a price tag to
things. Mad society. This forum, mad society is a really cool forum. It started by a
really awesome lone wolf affiliate marketer Malin de Ross. Who
also lives out here in Los Angeles. He lives in Hollywood to be
exact. But he's a big CPA marketer. He
advertises... You know, he's a huge online marketer or affiliate marketer. And he
spends a lot of money on ads. So, I've actually found that Mad society is one
of... I don't know if it's still available this was just sort of like the
brainchild of this guy. You get access to really high level people. And for
everything that stack that money once was,
I joined Mad Society last year. I think it's still around. This is an awesome
forum. And I believe... I believe mad society is also $99 a month. Or it has
some price tag to it. But the level of people and level of knowledge that you
could access to in this forum is really, really, really top notch. And I really
like the kind of camaraderie and the willingness of people to help each other
out in this forum. So, if you're looking to get to the next level,
I would check this out. But again, this is not necessarily from newbies. It will, if
you are new to affiliate marketing and you join this forum, it is going to be like
breathing through a firehose. You may not understand a lot of the stuff people are
talking about. But that being said, you can Google these terms and all that
stuff. So, those are the 5 forums I would look into. They're really great
resources to kind of bring together different people and give you
yourself a sounding board of other people, other affiliate marketers to
bounce ideas off of to post case studies to post diary campaigns, etc. What I
highly suggest you do when you join one of these forums is do a follow along.
Okay? That's... Follow along means monitor yourself. Keep a diary, keep a daily diary
within the forum. A thread if you will. And post about what you're doing in your
affiliate marketing business. That's what I did to get good at this industry. I
posted every single day exactly what I did to my ad campaign. And I posted my
stats and I posted pictures of my ads, I posted links to my landing pages. So that
people could see the public on the forum could see exactly what I was doing each
day in my affiliate marketing. And what was really cool is people would comment
on it. And people that were smarter than me in affiliate marketing would look at
my marketing campaigns and say, "Hey, I would change this. Or hey, this is the
reason why this is going wrong." If you... The more you share, the more you will get
back. And what I found was being completely transparent with what I was
doing in affiliate marketing. Posting my images. You know, my landing
pages. Posting the products I was promoting. Posting how much money I was
losing or how much money I was making. Most of the time, I was how much money I
was losing that people are naturally willing to help. But you need to share
the actual data, the actual images the actual ads and everything with people.
And that is my big hack to becoming successful in this field. Share
everything, okay? Don't just say, "Hey, my ads aren't working.
What do... What am I doing wrong?" Share everything that you're doing in
post images. That's my special hack to becoming successful in these forums. Now,
