<center><h2> Why Do I Pay For ListNerds Membership?  </h2></center>

This is not a rant against ListNerds. Seriously am I paying the monthly fee for an Enterprise membership because I think I will make money? Nope like a moron, I joined ListNerds because I thought I was going to make money. Honestly, I should already know that a program should never be joined just because I think it will make money. 

One of the main reasons affiliate marketing has gotten such a bad reputation is because of opportunistic behavior. The only reason anyone should join a program is if it will help their business. I have joined programs just because I thought they would help my business as well. 

For example, I have membership in two learning platforms. Click Track Profit and My Leads System Pro. I pay for monthly web hosting, a monthly autoresponder, and of coursed ListNerds. 

If I was forced to liquidate my entire ListNerds holdings today I might make about $4573.50 and that is a little over 3 months. I would be looking at quite the profit. This is really nothing compared to what I would make if I just used ListNerds to build my brand and my business.

<center><h2> The Real Magic of ListNerds </h2></center>

ListNerds is the most active community of users I have ever seen. Please keep in mind they do not want to be pitched and although I do not know for a fact I have a hunch that most of the active members of ListNerds are active Hive Engine members. 

This means if I attempt to talk to them like an audience of new affiliate marketers they will downvote my emails into oblivion. Knowing this I am also a member of the Hive Community known as CTP Talk. This is a community of Crypto holding entrepreneurs and my entrance into Hive. 

I have been shown quite aggressively the rapid success of those Hive members that have spent these last couple of years building their brand. With shame, I must admit this year 2022 is the first year I have ever consistently put out the effort to build my brand. 
<center><h2> Confessions of a Reseller </h2></center>

Please understand I am not using this as an excuse or to try to get away with not building my brand. This is just simply a confession. As a reseller, I did not have to attempt to build a brand just a reputation. Reselling platforms like eBay take care of all of the social stuff and promote for us. 

Yes of course if I applied some simple affiliate marketing techniques and social marketing I could have increased my sales and been more successful in fact I am reevaluating my reselling business model to see which techniques will make the biggest impact on the least amount of money. 

<center><h4> That Being Said… </h4></center>

That being said another thing that really drags down affiliate marketing into the gutter, is looking for or trying to sell the free business dream. I have been in business from 2006 - 2012 (full time) and then 2013 - 2016 (parttime) and 2016 to current (fulltime). The free business plan does not exist. 
In my experience trying to start any business without any type of monetary investment is not possible. 

<center><h4> Back to My Original Question </h4></center>

Why do I pay for ListNerds every month the same reason I pay my house payment and utilities because it is necessary for the proper running of my business. 

The Awesome Sauce of ListNerds is if I remove all of my Lead Capture Pages and just promoted from both of my Hive blogs I can build my brand quicker than spending the same amount of money on Facebook ads.
