It's so cliché to say that the joy is in the journey and not in the destination, but it is so true. When I look back on my life in sports, business, and overall, I consistently find that the joy is in the journey. It's in the process. It's in the day-to-day grind.

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. I mean…that’s exactly what people hire us to do…and they pay us a LOT of money. BUT to start with, you need to do this yourself. You can get MOST of the results with none of the expenditures.

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!

There's a question that your business should be asking...but almost no online marketers are asking. But it's something that we're asking ourselves about a lot in our business.

If you think you're short on time and can't make a difference with your business, you need to hear this short message today. It's inspired by an email I received from Colter Reed and it has a powerful truth in it.  Here's the email from Colter: Good afternoon, Matt! Just wanted to drop you a quick note…   I’m a little dizzy. I’m currently #13 on the leaderboard! I’m sure it won’t last; I’m just stoked that I made an appearance in the top 15.   Here’s the crazy part: due to bad planning on my part, I was completely unprepared for the launch, including the fact that I’m super busy right now. But I still wanted to let my tribe know about F2F. I sent one email about the questionnaire the day it went live, and a second email at lunch today (guess when I wrote the email) about the webinars and cart open. Two emails.

This is part four of our twelve-part series on holiday affiliate promotions. One of the easiest mistakes to fix in your affiliate promotions is to get clarity on the start times and end times. During the holidays this is especially important as promotions often only run for a very short time. One or two days or even only a few hours. So make sure you are crystal clear on those times. That's what today's episode is all about.

One of the things I've noticed that really separates successful marketers from those that give up is this...the unsuccessful ones are critical of others' marketing. They are adverse to marketing.

One of the best parts of affiliate marketing is money you can make. But can a non-profit use affiliate marketing for fundraising? The answer is a resounding YES and I share how in this episode. Debbie Kay from Hope for the Broken Hearted recently asked me: Your question is one I have been thinking about and praying about for awhile. There are so many different aspects of my ministry and so many different audiences I reach… I think there are multiple possibilities for the affiliate stuff. You are absolutely right, it is a balancing act as far as I am concerned. I do not ever want to come across as one of those unethical ministries that is always seeking a way to part people from their money to line their pockets, if you know what I mean. Since my ministry went viral, I’ve been more like a social media missionary more than anything else…but, I am at the place I need to generate income while ministering. I think I can do that by offering things of legitimate value to those I minister to. I’ve been fortunate to work with thousands of non-profits who use affiliate marketing to raise money for their organizations. In this episode, I show how to do that and how product owners can work with non-profits as affiliates.

I recently gave a talk about going the extra mile in affiliate promos. I shared a bunch of ideas that I’m going to share with you, my podcast listeners over the next few months.

I got an email from an affiliate recently asking about promoting the same product for the third time. Is this wise? Or perhaps there are advantages to doing so? Here's what he wrote me along with my response: I have run the promo the past two years and it has gone well. Just a bit worried that it may be played out to my audience. As well, the people who have opted in previously are already on Michael’s list. So, not sure of the effectiveness this year.   ==MY RESPONSE==   That's a common misconception...very common. And totally wrong.   Watch who does well on leaderboards with similar list sizes. It's the guys who are promoting something for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times.   3 reasons:   1. You know how to promote it 2. You get the ADVANTAGE of those people who've followed Michael for the past year and NOW you recommend something again. I mean talk about WARM leads dude. 3. The workload is less because you can copy a lot from previous years and focus on things like bonuses and FB lives   Don't NOT promote and miss out on all the people you sent the last two years. THIS is the year you really capitalize on them.   And remember two more things:   1. X% of your list is new. 20%? 50%? Those people don't know about this 2. Even the people who DID get the promo last year don't remember it. Dude, they don't even remember what you sent this LAST MONTH or even last week.   Links Mentioned in This Episode How I Currently Make $3,874 a Week Without Creating a Single Product: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/watch Ask Me a Question here: http://www.asktheaffiliateguy.com/              All our recommended affiliate programs:  http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/whatsup Your First 100 Affiliates Report: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/first100

We're wrapping up our series on closing affiliate sales with the 10th and final key. This is the one factor that I can’t measure. It’s just something I noticed as I reviewed all the emails. That’s why I call it the “X Factor.” I have no data to share and no tangible takeaway on this one. But what I noticed is that the top converters were more creative in their approach. They seemed to go outside of the box and do things that no one else (even other top converters) were doing.

Can email length really make a difference in your ability to close sales at the end of an affiliate promotion? The research sure says it does. In fact, the top closers' emails were nearly half the length of the non-converters. Your goal on cart close day is to get them to the sales page or your bonuses page. That is it. It’s certainly not to write a novel. Remember, short and sweet on cart close day. That is key #9 to closing more affiliate sales.

In this series of how to close more affiliate sales, today's secret was the most surprising to me. But it is also one of the most impactful. When I studied the optins for the top converters vs. the average or below average converters, I found that 13% of the top converters sales came DIRECTLY from links to live events such as webinars and AMAs. Only 5% of the below average converters' sales did. That's secret #6 and the topic of today's podcast.

Last month, we made one very simple tweak to our webinars that boosted sales by 34%.

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. But this fear applies to all of us, men and women. It holds us back from selling with confidence.

If you've followed affiliate marketing for long enough, you'll notice that most of the people at the top of leaderboards are male. I'm a dude and I love playing "Battle of the Sexes" games as much as the next guy, but I think there is something wrong with that. 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.

What is the difference between a $10,000,000 affiliate launch and one that keeps capping out at 1/2 or lowers that size? Well, we studied the differences between the two and it's probably not what you think. And these lessons apply whether you are running a $1,000,000 launch now or a $100 launch.

If you've ever doubted that you can be successful with your online business, this episode is for you. If you've watched others launch their business or product and thought, "that will never be me," this episode is for you. Today, I'll share why I KNOW you'll be successful with your online business. At one time or another, we all have doubts. We think that we don’t have enough experience. Or that we have the wrong kind. We think that our platform is too small. Or that the costs are too high. We tell ourselves, “I’m not like so-and-so.” We tell ourselves that we aren’t interesting enough or that we aren’t skilled enough. We prevent ourselves from taking the steps we need to take to be successful. In short, we lie to ourselves and cripple ourselves. Lynda J. Keagan wrote to me recently with this: I am the founder of Journal Writers, the largest journaling community on Google+. For a couple of years, I wasn’t doing much. Mostly because I was afraid of success. It seemed intimidating to me. I have conquered my fears, and now I’m doing my best to go full force in offering my creative services. I responded back to her and as I often do, I knew that more people were struggling with that same fear, doubts and intimidation. I knew that many others were downplaying their own experiences, successes, and abilities, just like Lynda was. Key Takeaways To overcome the doubts preventing you from succeeding in your online business: 1. Look to your past. You have more skills, experiences, and abilities than you give yourself credit for. 2. Give yourself credit for starting. The reality is that 99.9% of people will never get their first email subscriber. They will never write their first book. They will never record their first video. Take a moment to acknowledge the progress you’ve already made. You started and that is more than most people will ever do. 3. Don’t compare yourself to others. I didn’t mention this in the video, but the biggest mistake you can make is to compare your beginning or middle to someone else’s polished end. I love what Steven Furtick says about this insecurity: The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel. Focus on your own race and run it your way. You’ll get to your finish line soon enough.

In Module 5 Lesson 1 of No Product No Problem, Matt says to 'Create consistent content and post regularly.' Should I be putting most of my focus on building my blog and email list instead of learning affiliate marketing?” Today, I share why it's not either/or but both/and.

I'm recording this live from Couer D'Alene Resort in Idaho with Mark Sieverkropp and we're taking questions from our No Product No Problem students. Rona asked me to clarify something I say in the course about setting goals for promotions and getting on people's radars. It's critical that you are crystal clear with your goals for each promotion and in this episode, I show you how.

What if you want to promote something but they don't have an affiliate program?

Recently I shared cart close strategies, but I left out ONE that is a bit over the top but crazy effective. Not something I’ve shared before. The secret is to CALL THEM. Yes, call them.

So WHO do you call and HOW do you get their numbers? Well, let’s say you have 500 optins. All you know is their first name and email. Well, you first take out the people who already bought the product. That’s 20 people. Down to 480. Then you take out the people who never clicked to the sales page. That gets us down to 300 or so. Then take out the people who only clicked once. That eliminates another 150-ish. Down to about 30% of optins, or 150 people. Target THEM! How do you get the phone numbers? 1. If buyers and you use a CRM, boom. 2. WhitePages.com - reverse lookup by email, etc. 3. ASK THEM! If you want the template I use to get more than 50% of my optins on the phone, go to mattmcwilliams.com/phonecall and I’ll send it to you. for free.

This is a complete (but concise) course on how to write copy that sells, without seeming “salesy”. Both direct-to-camera and screen-capture tutorial video, also includes templates and worksheets. This is our fourth JV Launch of this product.  Our first JV Launch (October 2015) of this product was a smash hit…the second and third launches (March 2016 and 2017) were even bigger…and in each one our JV Partners had big paydays. Not only that, but STUDENTS love this course and are raving about it! One of the greatest conversion-booster for this launch will be some KILLER video Case Studies, showcasing ordinary people getting extraordinary results with our coaching program. So while we hit a home run in October, this upcoming launch should perform even better! This course is an in-demand resource for bloggers, consultants, coaches, Internet Marketers, Social Media experts, and “Platform Builders” who know the power of direct response copywriting… but who can’t afford to hire a top-flight copywriter. Price $1997 Course includes lifetime access to the members area, the right to download and keep all materials, and major bonuses. Affiliate Commission You get big rewards for helping your list… 40% for each course sale (roughly $800). Plus it’s a lifetime cookie, so this could benefit you for months or even years.  We had affiliates who promoted the first launch earn major conversions during the second launch just from traffic they sent during the first launch! PLUS…some awesome prizes that we will announce later. Promotional Resources You’ll have everything you need — done for you and ready to go: Swipe copy for email and social media. Banner ads and more will be provided as well. Important Dates  February 5-23, 2018 We will have more information on PLC content, etc. as we get closer to the launch.

We’ve taken the lessons from the last launch and re-engineered everything. The funnel converts and you’ll make a great ROI on your clicks.

Jennie from Little Girl Designs asked me about segmenting her list to better target content and promotions. Here is my answer. Jennie asked:  So, question about segmenting my list. I do it but I don't necessarily sent out content per each segment on a weekly basis. Do you regularly send content to each of these segments to keep the list warm or because they're already receiving your main newsletter content, just keep it at that unless you have something really specific?

Arye Barsky asked:  I wanted to ask for your opinion about promoting a launch (this launch) twice a year to the same list. I promoted Chandler's last launch about six months ago. Should I promote only to the new subscribers or everyone? And if for all, how do I make it not look repetitive and nagging as this is not a fresh offer.

Referring 2nd tier affiliates is a great way to make some extra commissions by utilizing your network. But...does it make financial sense if you are referring competition? Today, I share exactly why it does make sense. In response to Episode 27, Chris Cooper wrote: Hey Matt, great energy - first time listening. I am curious why would affiliates refer direct competition to compete for your business? A second tier commission is OK as an option, but that's a one time payment vs everyday competition for that customer.

One of the biggest challenges for new online marketers is knowing how many emails they can send to their list. This is especially true when it involves asking them to buy something. I got a question about this recently and today I share why you can and should email more than you think. James Prescott wrote me about his struggle with email frequency: I am struggling sending out too many e-mails to my list. I can do one per week, but doing three or four, I can feel uncomfortable with. It may just be me, maybe it's something I need to work on - because I LOVE sharing great resources with my people.

Today, I'm going to settle one of the great debates in the affiliate marketing world. Who should get credit for a sale...first click or last click? This debate has raged for more than a decade and honestly there is no great answer, but this episode should help you decide. And if you are an affiliate, it will help you ultimately not to worry about it.   LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE How I Currently Make $3,874 a Week Without Creating a Single Product: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/watch Take our Affiliate Marketing Survey: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/affsurvey Ask Me a Question here: http://www.asktheaffiliateguy.com/ All our recommended affiliate programs:  http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/whatsup Your First 100 Affiliates Report: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/first100

What should you do about affiliate saturation? Is it really a problem? Here's my take. Jim Woods recently asked in a blog comment: I'm on several lists that will be promoting Tribewriters at the same time, so I'll get a ton of emails about that. This leads to fatigue and unsubscribing or ignoring emails (even after the affiliate campaign). I'm sure many others are in the same place. (Maybe not the majority, but I've heard others talk about this as well.) Here's my response to Jim and to this perceived problem in the industry.

If someone opts in through your affiliate link, should you continue to email them? That's the question I got recently from an affiliate. Here's my answer. Gundi Gabrielle asked this recently during Nick Stephenson's affiliate launch:   "quick question though, my current optins all come from the free Reader Magnets book. Obviously, they were signed up to an auto responder. Does that auto responder include all the free videos, webinar invite, etc.?   In other words, I don’t have to contact those leads again?   In this episode, I answer Gundi's question.   LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE   Nick Stephenson's Your First 10,000 Readers affiliate program: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/f10k   ShareASale: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/shareasale   LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  How I Currently Make $3,874 a Week Without Creating a Single Product: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/watch Take our Affiliate Marketing Survey: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/affsurvey Ask Me a Question here: http://www.asktheaffiliateguy.com/ All our recommended affiliate programs:  http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/whatsup Your First 100 Affiliates Report: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/first100

I was talking with a friend the other day who mentioned he only listened to about half of my episodes.  I explained that he is missing out and shared why you should listen to all of the episodes of TAG. If you are an affiliate manager you might think you don’t need to listen to the ones about affiliate marketing but you do. There is no better way to learn affiliate marketing than to be one and learn it.  If you are just wanting to make some side income as an affiliate you still need to listen to the ones about running your own program. One day you WILL have your own program.

Is it possible for your list to be too small to do affiliate marketing? I got a question recently from a listener who asked that very question. This is my answer. Joe Elliott asked: I am promoting the Marc Guberti summit (thank you so much for the summit) "My plan is to email my unopens to get the message out there but worried I might not do well because my list is only 200..." Speaking of Marc Guberti, his summit just began and there is still time to promote it to your audience. Just go to mattmcwilliams.com/cmssummit for more information. I went deep in episode 17 about it but I’ll put it this way to keep it short...if you have an audience who publishes content, you need to promote this summit to them.

Back in episode 11 I answered a question from Asheritah Ciuciu at onethingalone.com  She asked about focusing on her own offers or affiliate offers and I answered that. She had a followup question: And a follow-up question is about all things email marketing: how to write emails that don't sound salesy, that are authentic to my voice and in line with what readers have come to expect from me, and that primarily serve my readers instead of trying to make a quick sale; how to create a timeline for those emails so I give readers enough time and reminders to act without beating them upside the head.

I still remember the first time I heard the term “affiliate.” I’d just started working with a friend at a startup.

In the last episode I shared why you should start NOW with affiliate marketing. In fact, if possible, start the moment you launch your blog/podcast/platform. You start out small and that has huge advantages. Many people think that being new, small, or unknown is a disadvantage when promoting affiliate offers. But, there are three incredible advantages to being small and getting an early start on affiliate promotions. Make sure to go sign-up for our free mini-course on Finding Affiliate Programs.

I’m often asked by people new to the affiliate marketing game: How do I promote with confidence when I’m not 100% sure about the product? Well, that question is fundamentally flawed. If you aren’t 100% sure about the product, don’t promote it. That’s the first rule of affiliate marketing. One great way to help decide what products are right for you to promote is to use our Affiliate Program Scorecard. This scorecard walks you through 10 questions to ask before you commit to promoting something. It helps you score the product and decide if it's right for you and your audience. You can get it plus a free video training at mattmcwilliams.com/scorecard Or by texting TAGSCORE to 33444 LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  How I Currently Make $3,874 a Week Without Creating a Single Product: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/watch Take our Affiliate Marketing Survey: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/affsurvey Ask Me a Question here: http://www.asktheaffiliateguy.com/ All our recommended affiliate programs:  http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/whatsup Your First 100 Affiliates Report: http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/first100
