Marketing According to Brain Science with Ridgely Goldsborough May 28, 2020

Show notes

Do you ever wonder why you can't lose those dreaded extra pounds, grow your bank account, or find a marketing message that works? In so many ways, it's not your fault. Your Mind Type governs how you act and if you don't master your Mind Type you will never be in charge. If you do, you take command. My friend and mentor Ridgely Goldsborough took me through his process and it was seriously amazing...we recorded it for this podcast. I kind of get a little choked up. I really did not expect something as profound as this. Maybe you'll have the same reaction.

20 Affiliate Program Mistakes that Almost Destroyed Me (Pt 1) May 19, 2020

Show notes

When I started my first affiliate program back in 2005…I literally knew NOTHING about how to run an affiliate program. Through a LOT of trial and error...and some huge mistakes, I built a $12.6 million affiliate program in the next two years. Some of those mistakes were nearly fatal to our affiliate program (and our business) at the time. The GOOD news for you is that you don't have to make the same mistakes I did. In today's episode, I share the first 10 of 20 mistakes I made in those early years of my first affiliate program.

I was WRONG About When to Start an Affiliate Program May 12, 2020

Show notes

When is the right time to start working with affiliates? Well, for years I've been teaching folks to wait longer than they should. And I'm here today to admit that I was wrong. Today, I'll share the RIGHT time for you to start an affiliate program.

When should you bring on affiliate partners to promote your product? My answer to this question in the past probably not what you think it'd be. Yes, I'm "The Affiliate Guy" and I love affiliates. I've run affiliate programs for some of the top companies and entrepreneurs in the world. And I think everyone should have affiliates for their products. There is simply no better way to grow your business. But there is a right time and a wrong time to bring on affiliates…or so I thought.

Today I'm going to share some of the background on this. How I arrived at my line of thinking, what led me to rethink it, and what it means for you.
