Call Wednesday: 1:00 pm est / 10:00 am pst: Why Affiliate Marketing Is The Most Underrated Channel on the Internet
I want everyone in this group to really understand how massive the opportunity is in affiliate marketing and why learning this skill set can completely change your trajectory. I will be going live this Wednesday, details below.
Live Call this Wednesday 1:00 pm est / 10:00 am pst.

Here’s the reality most people don’t see:
In 2024, U.S. advertisers spent $307 billion on advertising:
Traditional Paid Media: $297B went to traditional paid media, impressions, clicks, eyeballs
Affiliate Media: $10B went to affiliate marketing, where you only pay after a sale happens
At first glance, affiliate marketing looks small.
But look closer…
Let’s break it down:
- $297B in paid ads→ assume a 3% conversion rate→ $100 average order value→ ≈ $89B in actual sales
- $10B in affiliate spend→ paid after the sale→ at a 10% commission = $100B in sales→ at a 5% commission = $200B in sales
Read that again.
**Affiliate marketing drove more real sales than traditional paid media.**
And yet most small businesses are still fighting over Facebook clicks, guessing at ROAS, and hoping something converts.
Big brands already understand this.Small businesses haven’t caught up yet.
Affiliate marketing is pay for performance. You only pay when you get a customer.
Now here’s the important part 👇
There is not one way to do affiliate marketing.
There are tons of “gurus” online teaching it in very different ways:
- Some teach driving traffic to your own offer
- Some teach becoming a coach or creator
- Some focus on personal brands, content, or social
- Some teach funnels, courses, masterminds, etc.
None of these are wrong.They’re just different ways to play the game.
My path has been different.
My success has been built on acquiring new customers for other companies.
I focused on:
- Distribution
- Traffic
- Offers
- Tracking
- Performance
- Knowing the numbers
I didn’t need to be the face.I didn’t need a massive personal brand.I didn’t need to sell my own course first. I learned how to move customers.
That skill works in every market, in any economy, with any offer.
Why this matters for this group
As we start this group, it’s important that you understand:
- The affiliate marketing landscape
- The different businesses inside the business
- Where you actually want to play
Before tactics… before tools… before offers…
You need clarity.
👉 That’s why I think our first live call should be focused on:
- The affiliate marketing ecosystem
- The different paths available
- How money actually flows
- And how to align this opportunity with your goals
Once you see the full board, the moves make a lot more sense.
This space is massive.The opportunity is real.And it’s still wildly misunderstood.
See you all Wednesday!
