Hey, Amy here.
I've been an online entrepreneur since 2004.
I've seen a lot of changes over the years, and I've seen a lot of companies and marketing strategies come and go.
Time marches on and things are always changing... especially with the rate of speed that technology is constantly changing. Sometimes it's hard to keep up. :)
But what doesn't change over time are principles.
The same positive principles that have worked in marketing since the beginning still work today.
Principles such as gratitude and patience and discipline.
Principles such as practicing the Golden Rule and marketing with integrity, knowing that there aren't really any shortcuts if you are playing the long-term game.
And principles such as marketing without using hype and manipulation.
Usually, the companies that seem to stand the test of time are the ones that practice these principles... and the ones that market from a place of greed and hype typically do not.
There are many things about the online marketing space that I'm definitely not in alignment with... and unfortunately some of those things are what sometimes give our
industry a bad name.
At one point I actually thought I was exiting the industry
for good, because of all of the ways that I had seen it tainted with dishonest and/or greedy people. And because of all of the times I had been hurt.
Thankfully, I stayed long enough to find something that has zero things about it that I'm not proud of.
I found a company that was actually created because of all of the out-of-integrity stuff going on in the industry, with a desire and a commitment to be the change needed in every way.
I'll be honest, I'm not a MLM fan, and I'm pretty sure I won't be going back to that sort of thing. But I love affiliate marketing.
And I couldn't be more thankful that I found a home for myself online that is 100% in alignment with my values, my style of marketing, my desire to make a difference in the world, and my personal goals as well.
They even have the best affiliate program I’ve ever seen.
It’s a place that is committed to truly helping people to learn principle-centered marketing strategies that matter, and a place that attracts heart-centered
marketers.
I sometimes still have to pinch myself when I think about the fact
that a portion of every sale I make contributes meals to starving children around the world. This mission is so important to our community that we even went and packed the meals a few months ago together as a community.
This has become such a huge part of my purpose, and one of my favorite things about what I'm doing while I'm here on this earth.
Every once in a while, we get a voicemail from Jessica at Feed My Starving Children to let us know how many kids we have helped over the past few months.
We just received this one, letting us know that we provided 27,629 nutritious meals to starving children in just January and February of 2023 alone.You can listen to it here.
