It's Baaaack! The Return of Affiliate Marketing for Beginners

Affiliate Marketing for BeginnersA little less than two months ago, I first shared the Affiliate Marketing for Beginners course with you. I kept the launch short because I wanted to gather feedback and make sure the course was ready for “prime time.”

Well, it’s ready now. Today I’m relaunching Affiliate Marketing for Beginners, and I’m opening it up to a much bigger audience.

The goal of the course is to provide a step-by-step, ethical approach to affiliate marketing for complete beginners. You don’t need any prior experience to take this course, and it will teach you how to use affiliate marketing to build a business in a way you can be proud of. No pushy sales techniques required.

Introducing Affiliate Marketing for Beginners

affiliate marketing for beginners

It’s here! I’m pleased to announce my very first information product, Affiliate Marketing for Beginners.

This course will help a limited group of people learn and leverage techniques to build a profitable business around affiliate marketing.

I say a “limited group” because registration for this initial version of the course is only available for 24 hours. I want to work with a manageable group to start out with so I can collect feedback and refine the course before opening it up to a wider audience.

For this first group only, I’m also offering a special discounted price.

The course is web-based for a more interactive learning experience. It contains 5 modules and 21 lessons. I’ll also be holding live group coaching calls where you can ask questions and I’ll help you get the most of the course.

Note: this is the second post leading up to the launch of my new Affiliate Marketing for Beginners course. Read on for details of the launch coming Tuesday morning, June 22nd at 9am PDT.

Here’s a typical problem: you want to sell something through your website, but you feel awkward about it because you’re not an expert. With so many authority figures out there on every topic, how can you possibly compete?

The simple answer is: you don’t compete with the experts, because you don’t have to.

It’s natural to think you have to become the best at something to compete, or that you have to know everything before you can create or sell a product. Our world is filled with competition and this-side-versus-that-side thinking.
