Always working too much, Amanda Vollmer began to realize she felt like she was never taking a break. On every vacation she was always doing something for work and never found the time to be able to be fully present for her family because of that. She knew she needed to change that part of her life and began searching online for a solution. She found Legendary Marketer and the 15 Day Business Builder Challenge and decided to give it a try.
Prior to Legendary Marketer, Amanada didn’t know what affiliate marketing was. Despite being new at it she decided to get started with it anyway. Continuing on with solely being a mortgage agent was draining her with a 60+ weekly schedule after 20 years. Despite not having much technological knowledge, she went all in with Legendary because she could see how it had the potential to change her life.
From Learning To Doing
Through Legendary Marketer Amanda discovered the Legendary community and Facebook group and was finding people that started out just like she had that had built their own businesses. She was able to start posting her content online and felt ready to get started through the encouragement of her peers in the community.
Amanda decided to just put her content out there, no matter how she felt about it or what it looked like. She kept hearing from the community to just start and worry about the rest after but kept giving herself excuses. Finally she made the decision to just start her business and she never looked back.
Just starting when you first start out with your business is the key part of launching. So many people wait for what they think is the right moment to post their first piece of content, that everything has to be just right. The most important part of starting your affiliate marketing business is to truly just start posting content online.
Posting, Not Perfecting
Before launching her business, Amanda could’ve probably taken around 50 videos in preparation to post her first one. She focused so much on the perfection of her content instead of just getting it out there. She felt robotic with each take, unable to feel genuine in her video because they just weren’t natural.
Amanda relaxed and just went with being herself in her content. She spoke to her camera like it was a friend or a client. “If the camera becomes somebody that needs my help vs me trying to sell something it just comes across so much more genuine,” Amanda said in her interview with Wake Up Legendary.
Remaining authentic and being yourself is such an important part of your online business because that’s how you stay connected with your audience. Your audience will want to view your content and trust you more when you’re being yourself on camera and not pretending to be someone you're not.
Revisiting Marketing Education
Amanda revisits her education through Legendary often. She finds herself going through the 15 Day Challenge over again because new content is added and it’s important to her to stay up to stay knowledgeable about the new ways she can help her business grow.
The internet is always changing and so is affiliate marketing. Staying updated with Legendary’s education will help guide your business in the right direction and give you more knowledge about affiliate marketing than you ever thought you’d have. “If you expect to just look at it once and know all the things you’re doing wrong because you're going to hear different things every time you listen to it,” Amanda said.
The best way to get plugged back into the marketing world is to revisit your education and continue to try new things with your business. You may discover something new you didn’t hear before that will change your business for the better. Diving right into posting instead of waiting to perfect your content is not going to help you progress. Just start and see where it takes you!
