How Super Affiliate Bronwyn Bamber Turned Her Business Around with
James Martell's Proven 8-Step Approach (Part 1)
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
generate
earn her a substantial monthly income!
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
is a great example of hard work. It's motivating to hear her success
and to know that if you work hard and stay determined, you will
succeed. Joe Minneapolis, MN
-
Very
inspiring talk, I feel I am on the right track.
-
Most
helpful. Combining James' book with "real experience" is invaluable to
me! Its nice to hear her say she made some of the same mistakes I've
made or am making and yet succeeded beyond her wildest dreams! you go
girl!!! Randy Rhodes, Westerville, Ohio
-
Your
question for adding comments is did I find this talk with Bronwyn
Bamber interesting, informative and helpful? Yes, yes and yes.
Interesting because I haven't lost my scepticism and all the main
strategies of a few years ago are now said to be reversed. Informative
because the redirection to scale down and focus on refocusing the
tactics and strategies seem sound though without serious detail. And
helpful due to the fact that the only sure thing is that if you get
other super affiliates and high quality incoming links to link to you
you will probably earn a dime, perhaps a living... we'll see. Rick, San
Jose, USA

Bronwyn,
thank you so much for this valuable information. Now I can see that
"PAD technique" is very important step to make the whole business work.
I really enjoyed the coffee- talk interview. Thanks again. Alexander
Vershinin
-
Thanks
Bronwyn for sharing what is working for you. It has pointed me in the
right direction. Scott, Ladner BC
-
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. Writer Unknown
-
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 Townsend, WA

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, Ontario

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 - Virginia, USA
-
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 Pompano Beach, FL
-
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 USA
-
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,
United States
-
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

Great
interview. Way to go Bronwyn... Ted, Issaquah WA

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
