What I'm about to share with you might honestly shock you. It used to be the single worst part of my entire business. Something that held me back for nearly three years. I'm ashamed to admit that the worst part of our company was our affiliate management. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what went wrong, why even I — The Affiliate Guy — struggled with this, and most importantly... how we finally solved it.

Ever feel like your brain is juggling 47 browser tabs—only none of them are loading? That's what it's like trying to stay focused as an affiliate manager. Between answering affiliate questions, navigating fast-changing platforms, staying on top of launches, and replying to Slack messages at all hours… staying focused can feel impossible. And regaining it once you've lost it? Even harder. In this episode, I'm bringing you a behind-the-scenes recording of a private training I did for a mastermind group, all about how to get focused, stay focused, and bounce back when your focus gets derailed. Whether you're managing dozens of affiliates or trying to keep your own business on track, these strategies will help you get more done, with less stress.

Big launches create big lessons…and a $5.7 million affiliate launch we ran was no exception. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of one of the biggest promotions we've ever run and share what worked, what didn't, and what you can apply to your next campaign. You'll learn how to deepen connections with your audience, grow your list while promoting, deliver bonuses at the perfect time, and the strategies top affiliates used to dominate the leaderboard.

Meet Jason and Cecilia Hilkey. They're not your typical online marketers. They don't sell courses on "how to get rich quick" or promise to teach you the "secrets of internet millions." They're just two parents in the parenting space who, until recently, had a modest email list of 3,000 people. Then they did something that blew my mind: they added 104,000 new subscribers in just two weeks using a virtual summit. This strategy is hands down my second favorite way to explode your email list...and this episode will show you exactly how they did it.
