What holds most people back from selling affiliate offers better? For most people, it's FEAR. Yesterday, I talked about the gender gap in affiliate marketing and how to close it. In it, I share studies about the differences in men and women's salaries. The biggest difference is women are afraid to ASK for more money. The same is true for selling.

While the industry has made substantial progress over the years, there is more work to be done. Today, I share some thoughts on closing the gender gap in affiliate marketing.
