50. The copy you need to start affiliate marketing

Okay? So let's talk about affiliates.

So first of all, what is an affiliate? An affiliate is somebody that promotes your stuff in exchange for typically money.

There's a lot of different ideas out there about how much you should pay your affiliates.

It really comes down to what can you pay your affiliates.

I fully believe in paying them as much as you possibly can so that that incentivizes them to share your stuff more.

The affiliate program that I use is through ThriveCart.

I know ThriveCart's been getting a lot of shit recently.

They have been making some questionable decisions as a company.

I don't think I'll be on them forever.

However, I do have a link for them.

It is an affiliate link.

I believe in them.

I use them, and I don't think that they are going to be the best on the market forever.

But what I really like about ThriveCart is that it is not only my affiliate platform, but I also host my digital products on ThriveCart pages, so everything's kind of under one roof.

Another thing I like about them is that they are single pay.

So I paid, like, $700, $800 for this platform, like, five years ago.

It's not a monthly fee.

So I use ThriveCart.

That's what an affiliate is, and that's where I host my affiliate program.

Other ones that I can confidently say that I like, I know Kajabi has one, so if you already have Kajabi, don't jump to another platform.

Use Kajabi.

Teachery seems to be getting a lot of exposure right now, so Teachery I've heard great things about.

SamCart has been phenomenal, and I also really like the user interface as an affiliate for a lot of programs.

PartnerStack, but my impression of PartnerStack is that that is for much more, like, developed businesses who have, like, an in-house affiliate manager.

I could be wrong, but that's my perception.
