The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

I want you to fall in LOVE with affiliate marketing.

Today's episode shows you WHY and HOW.

This episode is brought to you by Michael Hyatt’s upcoming affiliate launch September 13-29, Free to Focus.

What I LOVE about this course is that Unlike other productivity systems, Free to Focus is not for cramming more tasks into your schedule — it’s not about DOING more. It’s about accomplishing more by doing LESS.

It has awesome 40% commissions, prizes, a proven launch funnel, and it converts like crazy.

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. Go to mattmcwilliams.com/cmssummit for more info and to sign up.

Now if you want proof that you can succeed with a small list, go to http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/smalllist

You'll find out How John Meese Made $5,359 in Affiliate Commissions in One Month with Only 1,302 Subscribers

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.

Today's episode is brought to you by RYAN ELIASON'S VISIONARY BUSINESS SCHOOL affiliate program. Ryan is one of my favorite people in the online world. In fact, I shared a little of our history together and a lot about butt sniffing monkeys in episode 9.

Ryan's affiliate launch is coming up June 15-30 so if you are interested go to http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/vbslaunch

Yesterday I shared the first 5 mistakes affiliates make on social media. Today, I'll finish this top 10 list with the last 5.

As I said yesterday, I've purposely kept them outlet-neutral, since tomorrow there will be a new one and by next week something will die out. These apply to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and whatever pops up later today.
