Hello everyone! Once again, Shawn Josiah here and right now I am in Munich, Germany doing this video to provide an update of travel income. I arrived in Berlin yesterday and I’ve got to tell you guys that Germany is amazing! I think one of the reasons why this country is so amazing is its historical background. I went to Berlin and touched it like all the tourists do and then went on to visit the country’s tourist spots. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to one of the infamous former concentration camps to see the reality of what it feels like to live like that. Now, let’s go to my business, giving you an update of my travel income which is part of my journey to six-figures.
For this month, it’s all about my travels to Europe and the money I make while experiencing its culture and the entire place. I’m in Germany and this will be my second to the last stop, which will eventually end in London. Hopefully, I can still visit Paris. Now let’s go straight to my update.
So, let me show you my screen to share with you the snapshots of my Clickbank account and my detailed sales record. I want to highlight the 16th of July because I had a really good run on that day, it was when I managed to hit my all-time high in sales, amounting to $664. You will also notice on my daily sales record, July 12 is the day when sales got a little slower, earning just $56. It was the only day of the month when I felt short to make a hundred bucks a day. It got me a little concerned because I was afraid I may not hit the $2000 a week, but thankfully I came through.

The snapshot of my daily sales record clearly shows that in this business, fluctuations in sales are normal. There will be days where sales will be high and there will be days that sales can be low, but the bottom line is, growing your list will increase your potential to earn. This is where the law of large numbers comes into play. This means that the bigger your list is, the more subscribers will see your promotions. The possibility of getting sales is better. That means, the number of subscribers your list have will directly affect your potential to convert sales.
List building is one of the most crucial aspects of this business. Not only that you need to grow your list bigger, but you also have to make sure that it has quality. To do this, I formulated a strategy that I and my mentoring students also use. So far, I am seeing better consistency and positive results. I want to share with you a post that I recently shared online. It’s a post I shared on my blog where I talk about my thoughts on managing to make at least $2000 in five consecutive weeks.
Honestly, this is actually the 6th week I made at least $2000 which means that the result I am getting is beginning to be consistent. This proves that the strategy that I am using plays a vital part. Let’s go back to the post I shared on my blog, I hit my first $2000-week in June, last month. To tell you honestly, I was happy when that happened, but it also made me skeptical if I can manage to continue that run. I really thought it was pure luck, but I realized that as I continue to add value and not worry about the end result. The consistency began to show and kept ongoing. If you are to read the post that I shared, that’s not the only thing that will get.

Reading the post will give you a better understanding of the entire business and may somehow tweak your mindset. Giving you the motivation that you need and the understanding that will allow you to focus on the vital field of the business.
Just to keep it short and give you an idea about the post that I recently shared. This business is not about your thoughts, it’s not about your worries. This is a business that is all about utilizing the resources that work and being motivated to make it work. Think about it, if a system works where every step you take is right, then it's plain and simple. It is a system that works, it doesn’t any change. It’s like the basketball coach principle that “if the play works, then run it again until they figure it out”. Pure and simple!
Another thing that I want to share with you in this video is one of the things that got me excited yesterday. Take a look at my screen, I want to show you an email I got from Paypal 7 hours ago, informing me that I received a Paypal Check for $329.42. This is a payment sent to me by one of the private affiliate programs I am promoted. Adding this to the $150 I made in commissions makes my income for today at $480. All of these happened while I was on the move.
This means that through my strategy, you can maximize your income potential with less effort to be spent. It is a perfect side hustle that can generate extra income because sending emails will only take you an hour a day or may be less. If you ask all of my mentoring students, all of them only do this an hour a day because most of them have daytime jobs. Two of them are still students, so they are also busy with their studies.
Think about it, this business will only take you an hour a day cause writing emails is not a very difficult thing to do, right? In fact, you don’t have to write the emails on your own, because product vendors usually hire copywriters to write the emails that you are going to send. That’s to maximize the potential of getting sales. So, if the emails are already written for you, all you have to do is to copy and paste the emails, add the affiliate link, and then send them. How long would that take?

It’s a task that would probably take you half an hour, where you can still use the remaining time to research for new products to promote. You see that it only requires minimal effort but if done effectively, the returns can be massive. The system that I and my students use is designed to create a quality list, grow the number of subscribers, and maximize the potential of earnings by converting sales.
Before I end the video, I just want to share with you guys an insight that you can also consider as a tip if you are an affiliate. One of the fundamental aspects of this business is that it’s all about the numbers. Based on the questions people asking me on how I achieved success, all of them have something to do with numbers. The time spent on building the list, the number of subscribers on my list, the number of products I promote, and even the income or amount of money I have earned. They are all related to numbers no matter how large or small they are.
I haven’t noticed that before, but then again I realized that numbers play a huge role in this business. My point is, regardless of how small or big your list, the thing that you have to keep in mind is that behind those numbers are human beings. Beyond every single digit of that number is a person just like you and me. A person that has needs and desires, a person who needs value and would like to receive something from you.
That is why we make use of newsletters. To be able to understand what each person on your list wants. This is the key that will allow enable you to make this business is lucrative and profitable. Apart from the numbers, you have to treat these numbers as people and understand what they need or want. You have to keep in mind that the number of subscribers on your list will also be the number of lives that you’re going to impact.
Remember that for you to succeed in this business, you have to see your list as lives that you want to impact. Being fixated on the income this business generates will not make it profitable and will lessen your chance to make the most out of it. So, always remember that beyond every number on your list is a person that you have to treat and respect. That’s how you can add value to them and make money.
I hope this is a thought that will help you build quality lists and once again, I am Shawn Josiah wrapping it up from Germany. See you in my next video. Thanks!
