MYTH: Most of Your Sales Will Come from Only a Few Affiliates
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.

MYTH: To Get Affiliates You Have to Know People & Do Lots of Reciprocal Promotions
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.

The Recurring Revenue Revolution (An Interview with Stu McLaren)
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.

How to Run Affiliate Contests Without Breaking the Bank
If you're running an affiliate launch or affiliate program and you need a way to drive more sales without doing a costly leaderboard contest, I have the solution. Typically, the only way to drive more affiliate sales is to up the ante and offer more prizes to your top partners. But that is risky and doesn't always have the greatest ROI. Today, I share a better way to reward your affiliates for more sales.

The Power of a Promo Plan in Affiliate Marketing
I was reflecting on our biggest affiliate marketing successes right before I recorded this and it all came down to one thing: A PLAN! I recorded this at a gas station somewhere in the middle of Kentucky on my way to one of the most special places on earth...Blackberry Farm. It's the site of the top affiliates getaway with Michael Hyatt, Jeff Walker, and Pat Flynn...and me. To get there, I had to beat out some legends like Ryan Levesque, Ray Edwards, Stu McLaren, Kevin Harrington, and more. How did we do it? I share how in this episode.
