The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

I just got back from speaking at InfoSummit 2017, Dan Kennedy's awesome event in Cleveland. Dan is one of my living legends, so I was PUMPED, but...something went horribly wrong. I share what happened and what you can learn from it today.

What really separates people who succeed with their online businesses and those who don't? It's actually the same thing that separates the middle class from millionaires. There are VERY distinct differences between the two groups that I share today.

If you want to be successful with your online business, you need to forget everything you learned in school. Traditional schooling falls into one of two camps that I talk about today...and both are wrong. In today's episode, you'll learn why you need to forget the well-intentioned, but wrong lessons you learned from school.

One of our awesome No Product No Problem VIP students asked this question recently: "Productivity question: With all the aff programs one subscribes to, how do you keep track of everything without having to login to the various portals every time? I mean: checking if you've received commissions, clicks, etc..." In other words, is there an easy way to keep track of everything? Here's my answer.

I'll cut right to the chase...we're dropping the "Daily" from the "The Affiliate Guy Daily." We've learned that people need more time to implement what they learn and one of the ways we can help YOU better is to produce a bit less content and give you time to put things into action. It starts with a reduction in episodes. Listen up for more on why we made this change.

I recently got a question from a member of one of our workshops. She asked: "How do I know if I am ready to bring on affiliates? This launch? My next one?" I love this question because it shows she isn't just looking for a quick buck and knows there is a right time and a wrong time to bring on affiliates. Today, I answer that question and show you exactly what to do before you bring on your first one.

This episode might hurt a little...because today we're talking about the power of pain. I'm also going to call you out on your "side gig" and show you why you need to make more money doing what you do. Yep...it might hurt. But it's necessary. Today is the last episode in this series of takeaways from Jeff Goins' Tribe Conference last year and it might be the best.

Today, I am sharing two more huge takeaways from last year's Tribe Conference: The Power of Relationships and the Power of Public Speaking. You simply cannot build an online business in solitude.
