You do NOT need to hire an affiliate manager to run your affiliate program. That is a myth! Now, don't get me wrong. There will be a day when it makes sense to hire someone.

There is a killer myth that says that most of your sales will come from only a few affiliates. This myth is so pervasive that I have literally heard one of the top names. Someone you all know. One of the top names in the internet marketing space claim this as a statement of FACT from stage. In fact, the exact quote they used is this: "90% of your sales will come from your top 3 to 5 affiliates." Let me be brutally clear here: This is nothing more than a cop out. An excuse to not work with smaller affiliates. An excuse to go out and get your 3 or 4 best buddies and a few other people and call it a day. Today, I share why this myth is flat out WRONG and how to develop an ARMY of loyal, dedicated affiliates of all sizes.

There's a myth that says that having an affiliate program is only for the cool kids with the right connections. Or to get affiliates, you have to burn your list promoting everyone else's stuff all year just to get your own affiliates. WRONG! When I started my first affiliate program, I knew absolutely NO ONE. In fact, no one on our team did. We weren't the cool kids. We didn't have dads who knew the right people. We started with nothing and in 2 years built a $12.6M affiliate program. In today's episode, I'll bust these myths and show you how you can find the right affiliates...even if you don't know anyone in your niche!

OK, so THIS was fun (and nerve-wracking)! Mark Sieverkropp interviewed me about my recent getaway to Blackberry Farm where I got to spend four days hanging out and masterminding with Jeff Walker, Amy Porterfield, and Michael Hyatt.

One year ago, I was locked in a room writing the scripts for our No Product No Problem launch videos. Over the course of two grueling days, I wrote more than 200 pages of scripts. As I wrote the scripts, I channeled my inner Stu McLaren...someone I've admired and followed for some time. Stu is my marketing muse. And I'm so pumped to introduce him to you today. Every word out of his mouth is like a little gold nugget of awesomeness that you can use to grow your business. So listen up as Stu and I discuss how to create some serious recurring revenue in your business.
