Coffee Talk with Super Affiliate, Bronwyn Bamber !

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!


Affiliate Marketing Training 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! :)

Comment from Listeners (32)


  • 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 executin various techniques. So far the Coffee Talks have been well worth the investment! Thank You! Christian Chapa San Francisco United States


  • 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


  • 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 (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


  • 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... Darryl Ruff, Kelowna, BC, Canada

You’ve probably heard some pretty big talk online about who is making what and who just made a killing with their big launch, etc.

In fact, perhaps you even heard about Jason James and his Uncut Marketing launch earlier this year?

In the first month following the launch he grossed a whopping $214,352.14.

But...you may be wondering what that has to do with you.

Well, it’s not really about Jason’s terrific numbers or his massive launch. Nope...not one bit. It’s about what he learned from the people he worked on with this project.You see, Jason convinced several of today’s top marketers to spill their guts and tell him what they did that made them successful.

They all shared their own secrets for success.

What was particularly interesting is that every one of these marketers shared one strategy. They had different ideas about everything else,but...Membership Sites.

That’s right...they all made incredible fortunes with the residual income of various Membership Sites.

And this, is what $214,352.14 has to do with you. Jason has taken everything he learned from that incredible product and packaged it up so that anyone can start their own Membership web site, and profit like mad.

In his brand new Membership Riches Jason shares every bit of his formula for building, and more importantly, filling membership sites, that will send floods of cash headed your way...

Every single month...

Like clockwork...

And before you think that Jason is just regurgitating what he learned...think again. His AuctionResourceNetwork eBay member site made him nearly $250,000 in 2005.

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak and I have to tell you that this couldn’t be more A-Z and step by step if you wanted it to be.

You would seriously have to try to not be successful to not make it with Jason’s formula.

But...there is a catch. I know...I know, there’s always a catch right?

Jason is offering an “early bird” discount for those that take action right away. He’s rewarding those act quickly with a generous price reduction.
