Paul Colligan Interviews Anik Singal

Anik: 300 million.

Paul: Oh, there we go, sorry about that, 300 million.

Anik: 300 million in sales a year and they are pulling 100 million of that just through their affiliates.

Paul: I love this industry. I absolutely love this industry. It's so much fun.

Anik: There's a reason I'm stuck in it. I can't move out of it.

Paul: Yeah, exactly. And even though...The whole power of the Internet is, the whole power is in the fact that you are now global. If you open up a store in your town, wherever your town is, you have to ask yourself a question, "Are there enough people in my town to keep me in business." With the Internet you now ask the question, "Are there enough people in the world to keep me afloat in my business." And that answer, I can think of very few things you can sell that there isn't somebody in the world that wants. And what's great about affiliate marketing is you can just increase that and say, "Is there anybody out there in the world that I don't know, that somebody else does know, and I'll just give them a piece of the action.

Anik: Absolutely.

Paul: I love doing the book, and realizing that here is a chunk of change coming in because somebody who I barely know talked to somebody I don't know at all about my product, closed the deal for them, the credit card money went into my bank account, and 30 days later I gave that affiliate a piece of the action. Man, it's a great industry.

Anik: Absolutely.

Paul: You launched classroom, you taught affiliates how to become super-affiliates, January the affiliate summit, Shawn and Missy, you did your first course, SRO people said nothing but great things about it. I told you to make this a home study course, you smiled at me, didn't tell me the whole story. Seven months later, it is a home study course. So, did it take you seven months to edit the DVDs? What have you been doing in 2006 to get ready for this launch over at affliatemanagersecrets.com?
