Excellent summary, Karol. I 100% agree. Trust stemming from authenticity was the missing element in the old economy.

I like the mantra “Relationships first, business second”. It’s the difference between having to consistently WORK or having genuine fun doing whatever one is passionate about. When we commit to being ourselves and sharing value with others, life is a whole lot more enjoyable. And financially abundant.

Thanks for sharing your insights, and congrats on the affiliate marketing success!

Hey Walter,

Glad to see you back around here. :)

I agree with that sentiment…but I would change it to “most amateur bloggers.” Bloggers who are doing this with a “pro” mindset take building trust into consideration. At least all the bloggers I associate/correspond with do. :)

Cheers,
Karol

Trust is a virtue most bloggers fail to take into consideration. One mistake many bloggers fell into is the lure of gaining what they want without the effort of building trust. Being able to put first the concern of other before one’s self is the key to gaining trust. :-)

Hey Tim,

Thanks for your additions. You’re right, we can’t make people trust us. We can simply be trustworthy and, if we genuinely are, then most people will trust.

Cheers,
Karol

Thank you David! I’m glad you pointed that out, because I never thought about it. The point with 100 is simply that it’s attainable and real, but now I see that there are other benefits to that number as well. :)

Cheers,
