FROM MY WORLD

The Bare-Minimum Affiliate Launchpad

So… you’re ready to dip your toe into affiliate marketing.

You’ve watched the YouTube videos. You’ve downloaded the free guides. Maybe even stalked a few gurus online, secretly hoping their success rubs off on you via screen glare.

But you still haven’t pulled the trigger.
Why?

Because every time you try to start your first ever affiliate promotion… your brain goes full monkey mode:

“Do I need a funnel?”
“Do I record videos?”
“What if I sound like a hostage in a ransom tape?”
“Do I need a degree in digital voodoo before I make $1 online?”

Take a breath. I got you.

This episode is for every beginner who’s stuck in affiliate purgatory—that special place where dreams go to die and domain names collect dust.

Let me hand you the simplest, most foolproof strategy I know. The one I still use myself. And it’s all based on a concept I swiped straight from Frank Kern—The Triangle of Trust.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: You write an email.
Step 2: That email leads to a video (or a sales page).
Step 3: That video/page leads to an affiliate offer.

Simple. But don’t let the simplicity fool you. That one-two-three punch is deadlier than Mike Tyson on Red Bull.

Why? Because when you take someone from email (one media) to video (another media) to sales page (third media), their brain starts trusting you more than it trusts their own judgment.

Multiple media = massive trust.
And trust converts like crazy.

Now, if you’re scared of being on video—no problem. Just skip the video. Send those emails and direct people to a webinar or sales page. Do it for seven days, switching up the angle each day until one hits like a freight train. You’ll find your “frame.”

If you’re more advanced and can slap together a basic page in ClickFunnels or WordPress (nothing fancy, I promise), add video. Ugly works. My highest-converting pages still resemble Craigslist from 2006.

Title. Video. Button. That’s it.

Forget the ninja hacks. Forget the shiny funnel builders. Forget trying to “go viral” on TikTok while lip-syncing sales copy.

This works.
It works if you're confident.
It works if you're camera-shy.
It works if your biggest tech flex is turning on your laptop.

So if you’re still asking, “How do I start my first affiliate promo?”

Stop asking.

Start doing.
Use the triangle. Build the trust. Make the money.

Because if you’re waiting for the perfect moment…
You’ll be waiting forever.

MY GIFT FOR YOU

What’s $3.99 Worth to You?

There’s a window in every online entrepreneur’s life where they ask:

“Why the hell am I working so hard… and still not making real money?”

I hit that wall years ago. Then I built something that flipped the script.

I wrote this short book to show you exactly what I did — the system I still use today to turn emails into income, without chasing trends or dancing for clicks.

And yeah — it costs less than gas to get to work.

But don’t let the price fool you.

This isn’t a book you buy. It’s a fork in the road.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

The Lego Secret to Printing Money with Words 

There’s a dangerous lie that’s been floating around the online business world for years—and it’s been keeping beginners broke and paralyzed:

The myth that copywriting is some kind of dark art.
You know the type:
Mysterious. Magical. Reserved for robe-wearing word sorcerers with mystical “persuasion” powers.

But here’s the truth:
Copywriting is not art. It’s assembly.

Once that clicked for me, I went from being terrified of writing an email… to charging more for a single page of copy than I used to make in a month scrubbing toilets.

You don’t need to be Hemingway. You don’t need the “perfect words.”
What you need are patterns. Templates. Proven formulas.

Great copy isn’t written. It’s assembled. Like IKEA furniture—just with less cursing and missing screws.

Let me give you an example.

If you’re selling a vacation package, and you know your target audience wants:

  • Warm weather

  • Kid-friendly distractions

  • Fancy dinners

  • Affordable pricing

Then boom. That’s your copy.

Subject line: “The Next Vacation Spot You’ll Regret Missing This Summer”
Body: “Tired of going to Mexico every year? Discover this underrated island that’s quickly becoming the #1 choice for budget-conscious families. Book now and get two free massages and a buggy ride before the deadline hits.”

Sounds slick, right?
But it’s just a series of building blocks.

When you understand who you’re talking to…
When you get the structure down…
Copywriting stops being a creative nightmare and becomes a money-making machine.

I call it the Lego Effect.
Once you see how it fits together, you can’t unsee it.

And suddenly, writing becomes fun. Profitable. Even addictive.
Because there’s power in knowing you can write a few words and make money appear from across the internet.

CURATED READS

Enter Pat Flynn’s "Will It Fly?"—the no-BS blueprint for stress-testing your business idea before you waste time, money, or sanity. Pat’s not just another guru spewing vague “follow your passion” fluff. The guy breaks it down step-by-step, like a startup flight checklist.
