Hello!

It's now been a few weeks since I assume you completed the How To Start A Blog Free Email Course. I hope your blog is doing well and that you are having fun with it.
Many bloggers skip over affiliate marketing. They either think it's too hard, or complecated, that it's a waste of time and effort, that they will turn fans, friends and followers away, or that their followers just won't be interested.
In fact, I recently asked various bloggers how much they were earning from affiliate marketing. The most common answer was somewhere around $500 or less.
Some even said $0.
This included several bloggers who receive 1,000,000 page views or more every month.
These bloggers all have the same problem. They don't realize how much money they are leaving on the table, and they have no clue how to approach affiliate marketing the correct way or system was incorrectly setup and its become a money pit. Some say it may take two years of marketing before any money is made or for it to pickup ...and during those years you're lucky if you break even every other month.
This is just crazy to me, because I've never really had a crazy amount of page views. Even when I had less than 100,000 page views a month I was still earning a decent amount of money through affiliate marketing.
Last month, I earned over $50,000 through affiliate marketing, and I expect that to stay stable or increase well into the future.
Plus, no follower has ever complained.
This is one thing that often scares bloggers and social media influencers away from affiliate marketing. They are afraid of what their readers will say, or think and they are afraid that they will come across as slimy sales people, hounding and spamming fans, friends and followers, alike.
That's just not, necessarily true. I haven't had a single person complain about the affiliate products that I promote on my blog. Some people have even told me to promote affiliate products even more because they don't notice what I am promoting. It's help not hype.
When done the correct way, affiliate marketing can be a great form of income. Plus, you can do this without turning your readers away! If it's done the right way your readers will actually prefer to see what products you are interested in, and they will have no problem making purchases through your affiliate links.
Note: I recommend checking out my online course for bloggers, Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing. I earn over $50,000 a month through affiliate marketing and I share my exact strategy and tips in this very informative online course. If you're a blogger, then you NEED this course.
Affiliate marketing is great for many reasons, as you will read below.

It's somewhat passive income.

Affiliate income is great because you can create a post, review, etc., and that post may earn you money years down the line with minimal work needed to maintain it.
But, It's not entirely passive. You will need to build a following, publish content consistently, built trust, and more. You can earn income from one affiliate link or one blog post for a long time, with little work needed to maintain it.
In fact, I've earned over $300,000 ovet the years, from a single blog post - How To Start A WordPress Blog On Bluehost.  
Similar amounts have been made from affiliate programs like Amazon, PLR eBooks, etsy, Shopify and Clickbank stores.

There's less work than creating your own product.

Affiliate marketing isn't easy, but there are things you don't have to worry about when comparing affiliate marketing versus creating your own product.
You don't have to ship anything, create the product, handle cancellations, manage customer service, and more. Yes, you will have to build your following and earn your readers' trust, but it can be a great way to increase your income, especially if you already have loyal followers.

It's affordable.

The affordability of affiliate marketing is another reason it's a great way to grow your income. You don't need to create any products or spend time building a product.
You don't even need a website, as you can start promoting affiliate products on social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, for free, you can even link sies and  automate posting. If you do decide to have a website, that can also be relatively affordable, because starting a website doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, most affiliate programs provide clone websites free.

You can get paid for promoting products you believe in.

I'm sure there are many products that you love. So, why not get paid for telling others about them?
Plus, if you truly enjoy a product, it will be easy to promote. You'll already know everything about the product and you'll have no problem being enthusiastic about it. If the product has helped you, it will probably help others as well, and people will appreciate your honest review.

There are many options for products to promote.

There are so many different products, services, and companies to promote. There's something for everyone!
Products you could promote to your following include:
  • Financial companies
  • Cell phone apps
  • Digital products, such as online courses, ebooks, and more
  • One of the millions of items on Amazon or Clickbank
  • Travel booking websites, get paid to travel
  • Blog-related products, such as website design, website hosting, and more
  • Clothing
  • Home decor
  • Arts & Craft items
  • Outdoor gear such as bicycles, tents, backpacks, and more
Now, I'm not saying that affiliate marketing is a get rich quick scheme, because it's not. You will have to build a loyal audience who trusts what you have to say, and this is not always easy. However, if you are able to build a following that is interested, then you may be able to earn a great living promoting products that you already enjoy and believe in.

You can work from anywhere.

One of the best benefits of affiliate marketing is that you can do it from anywhere. As long as you have a loyal following (even if it's just a few people), a laptop, smartphone or tablet and an internet connection, you can grow your affiliate income well into the future.
Due to my blog and affiliate marketing & sales I am able to travel full-time, get paid for it in my sleep. It's really a great thing!
I'm on track to make over $1.5MM this year ...
 On some informal marketing research, created Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing, first online course, in July of 2016. And, after two and a half years, have earned over $1,100,000 from it.
This was without any webinars, Facebook Lives, any guest posts, a “launch” period, or anything else. It's an evergreen course that has mainly spread through word of mouth.
Most people are completely shocked to hear this, because when most people think about running a course, they think of an intense sales period with a huge team and lots of live videos.
However, the course has pretty much just been me, no big promotions or videos.
This doesn’t mean that creating the first course came easy to me.
Creating an online course is a lot of work, no matter how you do it, and decided to create them on own terms.  Wanted to be comfortable with how to create and run courses and make sure they fit with the rest of the business plan.
Don't get me wrong, videos and a big launch period can be great for others, but for the goals and objectives, wanted was something a little simpler and something that reflects who we are as an online outfit.
Was very nervous when creating Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing. It was the flagship first product that was ever sold, and like all online course creators, we were afraid that no one would want it, there would be no market for it.
In fact, just a few months ago, launched a second course, Making Sense of Sponsored Posts, and again, felt the same way! 
I'm on track to make over $1.5MM this year ...

I knew that creating an online course, especially my first one, would be a lot of work– it still is! I was also afraid of what I was getting myself into because creating a course was such a foreign concept to me.
Many people told me that the first product a person creates usually ends up being a dud because there is such a steep learning curve. I was nervous because I really didn't want to waste a ton of time creating something that would basically fail.
I still knew I wanted to create Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing because I wanted my to help others understand and benefit from affiliate marketing like I have. And, I knew I wanted it to be the best thing ever.
