A Ridiculously EPIC Affiliate Marketing Course (Based On A True Story)
I’ve been earning a living with affiliate marketing for over 10 years. I own three websites in different industries. Combined, they earn me over $400,000 a year.
And that’s all from affiliate commissions, baby!
In 2004, just a city boy born and raised in South New Jersey, I was working at a local pool supply store. That’s when I came across the concept of affiliate marketing. I don’t remember how, but it gave me an idea.“What if I took my pool knowledge and put it on a website? Then, I’d be rich!â€
And believe it or not, two years later…I still didn’t have a website. Procrastination is a bitch.
When I finally got a kick in the pants from my friend, I started my sloppy-ass pool education website. My long-term goal was to make money with affiliate marketing and banner ad sales. This was 2006, give me a break.
From there, it took me about six years of on-and-off work to build up my site to finally start earning a living.
When I finally figured it out, it took off like a rocket ship. I had a formula for success. And I tested that formula on two more websites and was able to earn money faster.
This is what I want to dive deep on: The shortcut to making money with affiliate marketing.
