Time Stamped Show Notes

• 1:24 – Introduction.
• 6:00 – Nicole initially thought she couldn’t do affiliate income because she was a therapist and she had to deal with ethical guidelines about how you can’t sell stuff to your therapy clients or customers.  But all she had to do was take the first step and find an audience and she found an audience that wasn’t her therapy client and identified one of their problems. At that time, she was connected to many business owners and a couple of years ago she had taken a course that helps you with launching.
• 6:45 – She got an opportunity to be an affiliate for the course so she signed up for it but she was not sure if she would be able to take advantage of it. But she knew that all you need is an audience with a problem.
• 7:30 – Nicole says that we shouldn’t try to solve everything, we are not experts in all areas but we can definitely link them to the right resources if we see that something keeps coming up for them.  Nicole had an audience of peers who were struggling with launching so she had an audience and she knew their problem and the third step for her was to find a solution that solves the problem and she had the course.   
• 10:53 – You just need to hook up your clients, your customers, your audience or even a different audience because you can be serving consumers as a health coach or a nutritionist, personal trainer, yoga instructor and have those alternate options for them that are helpful to them with struggles that they are currently having in life.
• 12:06 – When Nicole started out she didn’t really have a list she got an opportunity to sign up as an affiliate and she just shared the link to the webinar online and also she was always available to answer people’s questions about the program and build a relationship which was appreciated by people.
• 16:09 – Nicole says that one of the few mistakes that people make in affiliate marketing is that they throw random things at their list that makes no sense and you do want to treat it as your own launch and youth can make money this way without having a huge list for sure but a huge list can amplify your success in it so much better if you are choosing the right products or programs or services.
• 16:43 – You need to be honest in Affiliate marketing and tell people that the link is your affiliate link.
• 18:20 – One way of selling in affiliate marketing is educating people and letting them know about webinars and then directing them to the tools that are going to make it easier for them.
