He claims to be a "loyal follower", but then complains about you promoting an affiliate product. That's a large part of what Internet Marketing is about. Affiliate Marketing is a huge industry and it's how so many people are making money. Yaro, I do appreciate all you put into your blog. Some suggestions I take, others I don't, but what you have put together on this site and in your coaching program is of TREMENDOUS value to me so thank you.

I was just thinking about this the other day...how much confidence plays a role on one's success. Or more accurately, SELF-confidence. But somehow I've always been confusing self-confidence with ego-confidence. I realized that there is a HUGE difference between the two. The ego-confidence relies on something that is limited by time and space, while the true self-confidence relies on something that is infinite and outside time and space. In other words, true self-confidence is confidence in the true self. NOT confidence in what is mostly and erroneously perceived as the self, i.e. the ego. Once I realized that, I realized that anyone has the ability to have a very high level of self-confidence...even without any previous achievements. And therefore, anyone has the ability to achieve great things. But it's important to realize what the confidence is based on - the false self (ego) or the true inner self. The one is perceived as empty arrogance, and the other is perceived as deep resolve. Gideon The Philosopher Hey Yaro

Yeah the confidence thing…

I was just thinking about this the other day…how much confidence plays a role on one’s success.

Or more accurately, SELF-confidence.

But somehow I’ve always been confusing self-confidence with ego-confidence. I realized that there is a HUGE difference between the two.

The ego-confidence relies on something that is limited by time and space, while the true self-confidence relies on something that is infinite and outside time and space.

People should stop whining about affiliate stuff. It's part of the game. Besides, most of the stuff Yaro recommends comes with a money-back-guarantee, so if you don't like 'em - you can return them. No big deal. Wish you even more success! (p.s. just saw "Membership Site Mastermind" program (3rd option in your site) - what's that...?)) Hi Yaro,

There is the actual content and then there is the 'meta' level or 'conceptual' level. Looking at information on both these levels is a massively powerful thing. Getting detailed information about the subject area is very important but equally forming a concept of the structures and methods that are being used to present that information is super powerful. It is the people who can do both these things that will succeed and ultimately be able set up models that will bring them lasting income from the internet. As for posting with affiliate links. Well, everyone has got to earn a living!! Those who care about their readers include extra information in the post that would be useful and informative even without the affiliate link, which is exactly what I think you do. Steve :-) Hi Yaro,

It is certainly true that confidence is a key player when it comes to anything in life, but you are definately on the ball here! The more you learn the more confident you become and the more positive you are about trying new things. I have learned alot from you about blogging and am more confident in my own abilities because of it! Thanks for another great post! Kym Hi again Yaro!

People that read your blog know what kind of person you are. I read your blog religiously and dont mind you posting about affiliate marketing opportunities. After all your blog is about internet buisness and affiliate marketing. Just my 2 cents. I've purchased from your blog before because my intersts revolve around affiliate marketing. Had i not read your blog i would of missed out on some real good opportunities. The commission you earn from my sale is a thank you from me to you. One for the honest review and two, for unearthing the opportunity. From one Aussie to another, Big thumbs up. Yaro please dont waste your time responding to comments like that.

I have no problems buying through affiliate links but, being poor, I will see if there is a better 'deal' when it comes to either discounts or bonuses. :) I personally got a lot from this article.

Membership sites are a fantastic business model and very rewarding as it seems to me that people get better results from being a member as compared to an individual product. Launching my membership site was a lot of work but going through the bootcamp cut my learning curve tremendously. One of the best decisions I've ever made! Yaro,
