🌱 Strategy to Scale > I Woke Up To $15,652.14 From This Affiliate Program

Six months ago, my encounter with Logan Shippy on Instagram seemed like just another random message. I almost dismissed it, thinking he was just another bot or salesperson.

So, without hesitation, I blocked him. Yep, that’s how I roll, lol.

But Logan didn't give up. He found me on TikTok and sent a voice message assuring me that he was real and genuinely interested in collaborating. Intrigued, I decided to do some research.

To my surprise, Logan had an impressive online presence – 93k followers on TikTok, 13k subscribers on YouTube, and 5k followers on Twitter. If this was indeed the "real" Logan Shippy, a young and successful entrepreneur with expertise in passive income, it was worth exploring the possibilities.

So, I took the leap and joined him on a Zoom call. Instantly, we connected on our shared passion for entrepreneurship, brand building, and making a positive impact.

During that call, he extended a personal invitation for me to join his ERC Approval Affiliate Program. This program aimed to assist US business owners in obtaining tax credits from the government, without the need for repayment, simply by retaining their employees during the challenging times of the pandemic.

Knowing how many people in my network had been adversely affected by the pandemic, I saw an opportunity to help them secure free capital for their businesses. The first person I reached out to was my best friend, Andy, who ran an insurance business that had taken a significant hit.

I connected Andy with Logan, and together, we worked closely with our CPA to navigate the application process and ensure his qualification for the ERC program. To our delight, within just one week of applying, Andy was confirmed as qualified and approved for a staggering amount – $965,817.88!

Witnessing my best friend qualify for nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS to help his business was such an indescribable feeling!

And the icing on the cake?

For my role in helping Andy, I am generously rewarded with a 5% commission.

Last week the US government paid Andy his first of many checks totaling $326,655.51. He was so excited!

^{The payout shown includes the $313,042.80 ERC credit for 1 quarter + accrued interest.}

As I woke up and checked my bank account this morning, I couldn't help but smile. 😊 

There it was – $15,652.14 deposited as my affiliate commission as promised from Logan.

^{For those of you following the math. This is my 5% of $313,042.80 - The client keeps the interest.}

This is FOR REAL.

And it’s just the beginning, as more checks are coming for Andy for the remaining qualified tax quarter.

Here’s how it will all play out.

Let’s do the math: $965,817.88 x .05% = $48,290.89

Yes, you read that right. In total, I will receive $48,290.89 from helping just ONE person's business.

What I blew off as a total scam, ended up being on an opportunity of a lifetime.

Sometimes the most unexpected encounters can lead to life-changing moments.

This journey, from skepticism to success, has shown me the power of seizing opportunities and connecting with passionate individuals to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

If my personal journey inspires you, and you would like to embark on a similar path of serving others while creating passive income for yourself and your family, I invite you to take the next step.

✨ CEO Mindset > The Power of Failure for Content Creators

As a content creator, you're going to fail. A lot.

It's just a fact of life.

But failure is not the opposite of success. In fact, it's often a necessary part of the journey to success.

Think about some of the most successful content creators in the world. They all had their share of failures.

J.K. Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected by 12 publishers before it was finally published.

Stephen King's first novel, Carrie, was rejected by 30 publishers before it was finally picked up.

And Walt Disney was fired from his job at a newspaper because he was "not creative." Walt freaking Disney!

These are just a few examples of successful people who failed their way to the top.

So, if you're a content creator who's feeling discouraged by your failures lately, don't give up.

Just keep creating, and keep learning from your mistakes.

Here are a few tips for using failure to your advantage:

Celebrate your successes. The first place to start when talking about failure is to talk about your success. I know it seems counterintuitive but It's important to celebrate your successes, even if they're small. This will help you stay motivated and keep moving forward.

Don't be afraid to fail. The first step to using failure to your advantage is to not be afraid of it. Failure is a normal part of the creative process. Everyone fails sometimes. So don't let the fear of failure hold you back from creating.

Learn from your failures. When you do fail, take the time to learn from your mistakes. What went wrong? What could you have done differently? Once you understand why you failed, you can start to make changes so that you don't fail in the same way again.

Ask for feedback. When you fail, don't be afraid to ask for feedback from your audience or from other content creators. This feedback can help you understand what went wrong and how you can improve your content in the future.

Take a break. Sometimes the best way to deal with failure is to take a break from creating content. This will give you time to clear your head and come back to your work with fresh eyes.

Don't give up. It's important to remember that failure is not the end of the road. It's just a temporary setback. So don't give up on your dreams just because you've failed a few times. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep moving forward.

Remember, failure is not the opposite of success. And it’s a very is very powerful thing.

It can be used to build resilience, learn from your mistakes, and grow as a content creator.

So don't be afraid of failure. Embrace it, and use it to your advantage!
