James Martell's Coffee Talk w' Super Affiliate, Bronwyn Bamber

James
Martell's Coffee Talk

...with Super Affiliate, Bronwyn Bamber

When Bronwyn Bamber
joined James and countless other merchants and online publishers for
Affiliate Summit, little did she know her life was about to change.

It took a chance meeting
in Halifax, Nova Scotia at a small Alexander Keith’s pub, for Bronwyn to
realize that she was on the wrong side of the field, so to speak. So, after
talking to James, Arlene, and a handful of their students, Bronwyn made the
life-changing decision to resign from her job as an affiliate manager and
start her own online business as an affiliate/publisher.

Bronwyn tells listeners
all about the mistakes she made as she painstakingly built her first site
and how she used James’ Affiliate Marketer’s Handbook to bring her back
around to the 8 steps, which she applied to achieve her own online success.

Listeners also hear how
Bronwyn and her partner started out by working around-the-clock to get
nearly 20 sites (and 5,000 pages of content) on the Net before realizing
they were doing something wrong. Frustrated and questioning her decision to
work from home as an affiliate, Bronwyn called James.

Ready to throw in the
towel, she found information in James’ Handbook about linking and refocused
her efforts. She also quickly signed up for James’ Affiliate Marketer’s
BootCamp, which was held in James’ hometown of White Rock, British Columbia
and got the clarification on the 8 steps that she needed to “get back to the
basics” and build two new sites which now make her more than $40,000 a
month!

Bronwyn talks candidly
with James about the trials and tribulations and even the hard lessons she
learned, such as success on the Net is based on quality and not quantity.
Proof, she points out, is in the fact that two of her websites (the two she
built after referring back to the Handbook and attending the BootCamp) are
what bring in her jaw-dropping income. And she credits James’ training and
her work on creating high-quality links to her site’s pages that she needs
to “rank” as the real difference.

As someone who has been
in the trenches and found her way to financial freedom, what does Bronwyn
advise to those of you who are just starting out and to those of you who
need a bit of help? And what does Bronwyn suggest you never, ever do? Listen
in now and hear these insider’s secrets and more – all from an online
publisher who has succeeded, despite never having built a website and having
absolutely no technical skill at all!

Way to go Bronwyn!

  Bronwyn's story is so inspiring.
  There have been many times I've felt like "I'll never make it"
  but listening to Bronwyn I know that sticking to the basics I
  can and will! -Don Conner

  Refreshing. Bronwyn’s honest and
  straight talking style is a testament to her. Like James, she is
  open, honest and the story she tells is pure gold dust. Thank
  you James, and thank you Bronwyn; this interview is a real
  pleasure to listen to and learn from. Paul GB

  I just want to say that Bronwyn
  was very inspiring and confident. I myself have over 100 sites
  online and i have kind of lost focus, especially with merchants.
  But this call has really given me a boot in the right place.

  Just the
  information we needed. Bronwyn gives us a great model to follow - fun,
  sharing, and successful with her site-building.... Mike and Beth, Port

  It was
  terrific that the interview with Bronwyn was not long after her getting
  started. It was extremely helpful in giving insights to the start-up
  phase, along with the mistakes as well as the potential. I know this
  will shorten my learning curve tremendously. I‘ll surely be listening to
  this interview a number of times. James is right on target in getting to
  the fundamentals by asking Bronwyn to discuss the pitfalls to avoid and
  take the audience through a process step by step. Often in interviews of
  people who have become successful in affiliate marketing a lot of the
  steps may not be as fresh in their mind. That is not the case in this
  interview. By James asking for an example or to clarify a process it
  becomes understandable. He recaps to make sure the audience understands
  and by doing so reinforces the point. That is so helpful and
  appreciated. .I came away with a much clearer idea of the process and
  what obstacles might be encountered and hopefully avoided as well as
  expectations and amazing possibilities. Well done I forward to the other
  Coffee Talks. Denise, Cedar Grove, NJ

  The
  interview was useful and gave clarity to the issues associated with
  getting inbound links to a website. It was useful to hear about mistakes
  and how they were overcame and the importance that was given to trial
  and error as a method of learning. Clayton Palmer, Shanghai

  This
  would have to be the most inspiring interview. I listen to it regularly
  and in fact I am listening to it again now. This interview keeps me
  focused. Paula, Australia



• 
  

  
  I was a
  bit overwhelmed with all the information in online bootcamp. Then I
  attended the first Coffee Talk with Bronwyn and became inspired again. I
  love her story, and I appreciate her sharing her insights, particularly
  about launching a site with 18 pages and growing it from there. As
  Bronwyn said, and as James has often stated, “just get that first site
  out there.” Regina, Denver, CO

  The
  number one tip I took away from the interview that changed my PAD
  prospecting strategy forever, was to target similar but non competing
  sites. My current list is in the hundreds now and growing. Thanks James
  and Bronwyn. Leanne Tremblay, White Rock BC



• 
  

  
  After
  going through a whole lot of second guessing myself and listening to
  this it seems to have gotten me back on track and instilled new
  confidence in myself. John, Sechelt, BC Canada



• 
  

  
  Very
  inspiring, thanks Bronwyn. I have been online for a little over 12
  months now and started out down the AdSense track. Twenty four sites
  later and just into the four figures a month I thought I was doing well.
  I have always said James' Affiliate Handbook is the best product I have
  read since being online. Duh! Bronwyn has just re-emphasized to me I
  need to start practicing what I preach! Thank you Bronwyn for sharing
  your story and to you James for being one of the trustworthy guys out
  there. Dean, Atlanta, GA



• 
  

  
  All of
  the interviews in the Coffee Talk series have been great and each
  helpful in its own way but these two interviews with Bronwyn are really
  where the rubber meets the road for affiliate marketers. Don, Barrie,
  Ontario, Canada

  A final
  reason for to not give up. Refreshing and straight forward. Thanks
  again! JT Bo, Norway



• 
  

  
  The
  interview with Bronwyn has left me with two important things to
  remember. One, that a regular "non-guru" person can do it if she applies
  the correct methods to her site building and promotion. Two, that I
  should focus my efforts on just a few proven methods - e.g. using PAD
  for back links. I have been hearing and reading about so many tricks and
  techniques that it's so difficult to determine what actually works.
  Thanks, James and Bronwyn. Willie B

  Thank
  you so much Bronwyn for your infectious enthusiasm, openness, and
  wonderful insights. One of the biggest hits of your coffee-talk series
  to date, James

  I loved
  this interview. Bronwyn's story is inspiring. I appreciate her candour
  and her energy is infectious. Thank you. Charlotte Bradley, Ottawa,

  As a
  relative newcomer to the Affiliate Marketing business, this interview
  was extremely informative and encouraging. Thank you for bringing folks
  like Bronwyn into our loop. I so enjoy listening and learning from
  people succeeding in this interview. Lord willing, maybe you'll be
  interviewing me in the next few years. :) Keep up the great work! Tim W

  The
  timing was awesome. I am in the middle of building my first sight and
  this interview was encouraging and pointed out some things I hadn't
  thought about or overlooked. Great interview! Writer Unknown

  Great
  Coffee Talk! We had the opportunity to met Bronwyn at the first
  Bootcamp, so we knew she is a work-holic. It is great to see that she
  has come so far in such a short time. She is one to watch. THANKS
  Bronwyn for sharing the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Really do
  appreciate you putting it all out there for us to learn. Gerald & Linda,
  Lafayette IN

  Very
  inspiring talk, Bronwyn has definitely got this figured out. This was a
  real eye opener as to where to invest my time & effort and more
  importantly where not to waste my time. Very timely and relatable...well
  except the income part. Dan, Surrey BC

  I very
  much enjoyed this interview with Bronwyn. I would say the biggest thing
  I took away from this interview, is the fact that a site could be put up
  in March and be so successful in November. I was also inspired by the
  story of someone who would take out a second mortgage on her house and
  then give herself a year to "do or die". This lady has the guts of a
  river boat gambler. I realize that Bronwyn is a good business person and
  would probably be a success at anything she put her mind to. I also
  realize that any one of us could duplicate this success if we are only
  willing to do what she has done. She's been kind enough to share exactly
  what she's done. To sum it up I was inspired by Bronwyn's story. Tony

  I found
  the interview HIGHLY effective. I always appreciate it when James will
  ask the person he is interviewing to reiterate certain points, and in
  some cases request concrete real life examples of how certain techniques
  are performed. The interview with Bronwyn was particularly helpful in
  this manner. Sometimes I need a visual perspective so that I may grasp
  the concept thoroughly. I want to make sure that I have the correct
  "mental model" of how the technique is performed. I find that his
  interview process reinforces the proper "mental model" of how to go
  about executing various techniques. So far the Coffee Talks have been
  well worth the investment! Thank You! Christian Chapa San Francisco

  Refreshing, honest insight by a student who has "grabbed your training
  by the throat" and forged a successful affiliate publishing career. Best
  information: It's all about the links first, then quality content. Think
  fewer sites, pages, & merchants, but do it "right" (follow the 8 steps).
  This is not & never will be a "static" business. Thanks so much Bronwyn
  for being a positive role model. Ed P. Chambersburg, PA, USA



• 
  

  
  Bronwyn's enthusiasm is infectious! It's apparent that she has worked
  very hard and is a “student of James' 8 steps”. It sounds like the
  “magic pixie dust” is working smarter and following the system. I am
  looking forward to future interviews with Bronwyn and James.
  Congratulations to you both! All the Best, Joel Smith

  I can
  relate to her original focus on building huge sites (that have no
  traffic). For me this comes from the fact that building a site is
  completely under my control. But, the best site with no traffic makes no
  money. She emphasized the key point, product pages on my sites need
  inbound links to get traffic, and then make money. I got great
  encouragement by hearing how Bronwyn experienced many of the same things
  I experienced. It was a great Coffee talk. Mike R. Sunrise, FL

  I just
  want to let you know, this has been the greatest positive shot in the
  arm for me since I started my online business as an affiliate. Some two
  months in, mainly researching day and night with my site still not
  seeing any page rank, and having only made $1.36 from Google's ad sense,
  some doubts were starting to appear. Even though in your manual James,
  you warn of this likelihood. So for me the discussion between James and
  Bronwyn has been very timely, and I plan to trot it out again if ever
  any doubts appear again in the future. Bronwyn has blown away all the
  clouds of doubt for me, and reinvigorated my motivation completely. I
  really hope someday to be in a position financially to come across to
  the States and meet you all, hopefully with a success story like
  Bronwyn's. Cheers, Pete, Australia

  Bronwyn
  is someone worth keeping an eye on to learn, even borrow some of her
  special techniques. Anyone who has reached the plateau Bronwyn has in
  such a sort time-span is to be highly commended and watched closely.
  Cool interview. Writer Unknown

  I can't
  thank you enough for the invite to the Bronwyn coffee-talk. It's exactly
  what I needed at this point. My story is very much like hers so far,
  having the fortune to meet you both at bootcamp, building a site, and
  watching it mature. Just a few weeks ago I received my first page
  ranking of 4 on my site. Woohoo! I'm hoping now that things will pick up
  and my success will increase. Hearing Bronwyn's successes AND failures
  have both been equally important to me, giving me direction and warning
  simultaneously. I can relate to some of her struggles, having fumbled a
  few things here and there. Her knowledge, personality, and experience
  shared is like a beacon to me in the midst of sometimes overwhelming
  circumstances in progressing this business. Thanks Bronwyn! And thanks
  to you James and Arlene! All the best, - Eric Nunamaker

  At my
  next visit to an affiliate related event, I'm looking for the table full
  of food and Bronwyn Bamber! This is one of the most helpful coffee-talks
  in the series! Thanks, Bobbie Grennier (Affiliate-Blogger.com)

  The best
  coffee talk to date! Very inspirational and informative. It proves James
  point that if one is persistent, works hard, and pays attention to
  detail good things happen. Writer Unknown
