Episode 016: The First Thing You Need Before Creating Your Affiliate Program

I’ve seen over $8.2 million dollars generated through affiliate programs in just 2 years of working behind-the-scenes as a launch affiliate manager.

I’ll be the first to tell you that having an affiliate program can be one of the most rewarding things you can do for your business.

And yet, if you don’t have this one key piece in place that I share in today’s episode, you may waste a whole bunch of time and money if you try to bring on partners and affiliates.

This isn’t about sparking fear, it’s about pulling back the curtain to make sure that when you DO decide that the time is ripe to get support in spreading the message about your course, it will be the best damn decision you’ve ever made.
