A lot people think affiliate marketing doesn’t work and for many, it doesn't. But it’s only because they don’t know how to do it right.

Without any fluff, here’s how to do it right.

The first step would be finding a good affiliate source. Isn’t it?

That’s what you’d think but you’d be wrong.

Finding a good affiliate offer is easy when you are into a hobby deep. For example, I bought a stretching program because that’s a big part of my life.

Because I also have a fitness email list still from when I was personal training full-time. All I have to do is send the affiliate link for the stretching program to my fitness list.

They know me, trust me, and like me because I’ve earned that relationship over time.

Sending them this is easy money from a product I’ve tested and really like. It's a win-win.

But I said finding an affiliate offer first is wrong. So what’s the first step to doing affiliate marketing right?
