Ep #20: If you have your online course, then the main question is always how to sell it.

One of the options is to sell it through affiliates, people who already have a base of followers and established a relationship with them. Then they could recommend your online course. Their followers are happy, and you both get money at the end.

In this episode, Dr. Dan Ardebili shares how to sell online courses with the affiliates.

Best Selling Author Dr. Dan Ardebili along with his partner Ben Littlefield are the owners and founders of the 2 RockStars, a multi-million-dollar digital media publishing, training, and consulting firm.

For years they have been teaching people all across the world how to play digital monopoly by building and owning their very own digital assets online.

It’s like playing the board game Monopoly in real life. Instead of trying to gather up all the red hotels on the board you build simple digital assets (which can be courses, simple 1-3 page websites, software, etc.) on the web that pay you month after month forever.
