Summary

Would you believe me if I told you that you can make money selling stuff that you didn’t even create, test, or fund?

It’s true! That's the name of the game with affiliate marketing, and spoiler alert, you don't need a Kylie Jenner level following to be successful at it.

Think about this… How often do you recommend your hairstylist, your favorite hotel, that skincare product that changed your life, or another product or service that you adore to your friends or following online?

We all do it to some extent, and affiliate marketing done really, really well can be a monetarily rewarding version of you sharing your very favorite things.

It requires strategy, but it doesn't require a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears that can often come when we launch our own products in our own businesses.

This episode is your guide to tangible strategies to affiliate the right way AKA not feeling phony or slimy. Plus, advice for picking companies to work with that align with what you can authentically sell and what you’re audience wants to buy.
