Of course I’m way too young to remember a band called The Babys. So, naturally I wouldn’t automatically know about their song called “Piece of the Action.” But a YouTube video of the song popped up in my feed as I did some research yesterday. And, I hate to admit it, but I let myself get distracted long enough to watch it.
Piece of the Action is actually a good song.
It sounds almost like it could be a theme song to an action movie. Because it has the sort of retro anthem pop sound. But what caught my marketing eye were the lyrics. Check these out:
(1st verse) I’ve got no money.
Could you spare a dime?
I got the plan,
If you got the time
(Chorus) If you take me there,
You can claim your share
Of the action.
(2nd verse) Been on the road
For a long time now.
Paid all my dues.
Oh, I’m ready now.
(chorus)
Sometimes I feel,
As I’m goin’ down,
That nothing can stop me
From losing ground.
From the first line I thought about a newbie business owner.
You first start out a new business on a dream and a vision. And that’s great. But probably somewhere inside you hope someone will take the time to “spare a dime” and buy your products and services. Yeah, I know the feeling. You want somebody to get their piece of the action you’ve got for them.
That’s also the idea behind affiliate marketing. You find a product or service you love. And you can’t stop talking about it. So, you decide there’s no need to stop talking about it. Matter of fact, you set up an affiliate link with the company who provides the product or service and you keep on talking about it. Because when someone buys through your link, you get a little piece of the action.
I even offered my coaching system as an affiliate product for the first couple of years I put it online. Here’s a clip of me talking about it. Keep in mind this isn’t available at this time.
This is just an example:
“If you’re already a RondaReady Online Business System subscriber, I’d love to give you some of your money back. In fact, when you mention it to other business owners you know, or friends, or clients, you’ll receive a commission for every single one who signs up for RondaReady. But only if you’re an affiliate. It’s a great way to get back the money you paid for your own membership. And I’ve already set it up and made it super easy for you.

I love to encourage new business owners and entrepreneurs to avoid the feeling found in that song by the Babys. Don’t start thinking that “nothing can stop me from losing ground.”
And that’s one of the huge advantages of setting up a business hub. And that’s why I set them up. To help “take you there” and “claim your share” of the action. But it’s only for serious go-getters. Not Babys. (see what I did there?) If that sounds like something you’ve been looking for, here’s your link to get started:
