But, when I got an email about an affiliate contest for the launch, I knew I had to participate.  And I knew I could get conversions.

Yes, I tried to use the first place prize (Some expensive BMW) as motivation, knowing full well I couldn’t compete against the big boys.   And, I would have just sold the car anyway.

But just playing in the same sandbox with the big players was enough for me.  This time.

And I did extremely well.  It was a short window where the product was massively discounted.  I only had about a week to make as many sales as possible.  And make them I did.

I blew past my goal and did end up winning a prize for having over ten sales.   I had twelve.  And at a 40% commission, that’s a nice chunk of change for a few hours worth of work.

The morale of this story?

Reach a little higher.  Take action on your goals.  Believe.
