Affiliate income became my second biggest revenue source. Here's the mechanics behind it
I honestly can't believe I'm writing this. This month, for the first time, referral income sat behind only consulting in my income stack. I'm not saying this to impress anyone. I'm saying it because six months ago I genuinely didn't think this was possible for someone like me. Skool changed that and I don't say that lightly. The enemy here isn't effort. It's the assumption that building a second income stream requires building a second thing. Affiliate income doesn't work like that. You recommend what you already use. Someone acts on it. A small cut comes back to you. The recommendation keeps working after you stop. Every conversation you're already having with your members about tools, platforms, communities is a referral waiting to happen. The difference between it earning nothing and earning consistently is usually just a link and a habit. That's the kind of thing I unpack inside the Skool Monetisation Lab for community owners at the $0 to $500 a month stage. If that's where you are right now, come and have a look. It's free. https://www.skool.com/skool-growth-lab-2540/about Des Dreckett - Skool Monetisation Lab
