A big welcome
I'm so excited to help you along this journey!
My name is Brian, and I am a freelance digital marketer, also known as an affiliate marketer. I’m a work-at-home Dad who can work anywhere with an Internet connection. You may or may not have heard this type of work before (I know I hadn't!) but I'm here to tell you that this is a real and profitable way to make money online.
I should let you know- this is NOT a "Get-Rich-Quick scheme" (What are those anyway?)
This takes real effort, consistency and a desire to succeed. Important: If you're not willing to put in the work to make PASSIVE income online, then this is not for you. But, if you're ready to hustle in order to take back your life and gain financial freedom, then keep reading! You are here at this time in your life for a reason.

My Story
I am a work-at-home Dad , I used to work
60 hours a week, I was getting tired of living
paycheck to paycheck, always
struggling to pay the bills, I wanted
something more in my life, after
leaving my full-time job at 5 p.m. to go to my second job at night, I started searching for a
way to make money from home.
Although I love my job, I knew I wanted to be able to work from home, so I can be with my family, but didn't think it was possible to make a sizable income online.
Flash forward in August 2021, I see this woman on a Tiktok reel talking about how she's made 6 figures in 3 MONTHS as an affiliate marketer. I had never heard of this before, so I did some research, completed a 15- day training, and now I'm on my way to financial freedom!

Affiliate marketing is a marketing arrangement in which YOU (the affiliate) receive a commission for each visit, signup or sale you generate from a company/brand.
As an affiliate, you receive a link that is “cookied” to you, which means each time a person clicks on that link and makes a purchase, you get paid!
About 86 percent of brands use affiliate marketers to promote products and pay them. This means you’re not responsible for any product, inventory, sales, shipping, payment processing, or customer service! Simply drive traffic to your link, and BAM! Get paid!

Why Affiliate Marketing?
- Did you know that the average annual salary for affiliate marketers is $155K (*** This is not guaranteed. You get out what you put in!)
- All you need is a phone or laptop and Wifi
- No experience is required (I had none! I didn’t even have a TikTok or a following)
- EXTREMELY low cost to start (I started with this $7 course), which = low risk!
- Once you get your systems in place, you’ll be making PASSIVE income, which means more time to be with your family, travel, try new things, and really just get the most out of life!
- Forbes magazine reported that Digital Marketing (also known as affiliate marketing) is going to be one of the highest paid freelance jobs of 2024. There is no better time to start than now!

Getting Started
Step 1: Get focused: Choose Your Niche
- Think about your interests and passions. What products or services do you believe in? What do you want to promote? Whatever niche you decide to focus on, make sure it's something that brings some kind of value to your life. An example of this would be a health & fitness niche.
If you're passionate about your health and wellness, why not tell others about products or services you use and get paid for it? Another example would be a parenting niche. Maybe you're all about that #momlife and you want to promote products or services that have benefited you!

It's completely free to apply, and these companies WANT you to promote their stuff!
For example, if you scroll all the way down on Target's website, they have a section near careers that says "affiliates & partners". Just click and apply!

Step 3: Drive Traffic To Your Links
This is the fun part! Now it's time to create content to promote products and services within your niche. The beauty of this is, once you create the content, you can make passive income through the links you provide in your videos or bio!
This means that while you're out on the boat, grocery shopping, or even sleeping, someone out there in the world is checking out your video, and purchasing through your provided affiliate link!
