My First $1,000 Commission…

I was thinking about this the other day…so I wanted to share it with you. Let me tell you about the first time I KNEW that having an online business, and affiliate marketing in particular, was something that was REAL and could be something that could earn real money.

I had been online for a few years at this point, as an affiliate marketer only. I had made some sales…nothing regular…and nothing big. It wasn’t consistent at all. I’d make a few dollars one day, and then nothing at all until the next week, where maybe I’d make another small sale.

I had found Russell Brunson and liked learning from him. I really liked the way he taught, and bought some of his products. Well after buying some of them, I became an affiliate of his and started promoting his products.

He had high quality products, and so I found it was easy to promote him. People wanted to buy his stuff. I made commissions…mostly under $50 for each transaction.

One morning, I checked my email, and saw that overnight I had made 2 sales on a huge product Russell was selling, and I made $1,000 commission for each one of them. I was SHOCKED. I didn’t think it would ever happen, even though I was promoting the product. I thought maybe someone made a mistake, and they weren’t my sales. (Looking back I’m not sure how that would be possible, but I just didn’t believe…
