If I were starting today and needed to create an online business from scratch, I would start with affiliate marketing. But let me go ahead and get something out there right away and right up front.

Many people's perception of "affiliate marketing" is wrong. They always wrongly assume you must already have a contact list, even when contemplating starting this. They believe you have to bug friends and family. Those assumptions are entirely wrong.

I am not referring to any form of multi-level or network marketing here. This is the purest form of building a personal customer base and an online business from scratch that you will ever see.

Another incorrect assumption is that you already need the skills an affiliate marketer has to begin this journey. That is total nonsense. In fact, the less you know right at the start, the better. All you need can be learned, whatever your history and background.

At the end of 2023, or perhaps very early in 2024, I encountered a guy who stopped me dead in my tracks. I had started creating a program, a course, about beginning from scratch with little or no money with affiliate marketing.

When I saw what this guy had already put together, I thought, "damn, he has produced everything, more indeed, that I would have produced" And the truth is, he probably did a better job on it than I would have done.

In the image above, you can see me holding his starter book. I have now read it four times. This book is available for free right now. OK, in the interests of full disclosure, there is a small and very fair shipping fee to cover the printing costs and get it to you, but basically, the book itself is free and creates no profit for the author.

This book alone, even if you didn't go any further, is a goldmine. It would be enough to get someone started with affiliate marketing.

Why am I so enthusiastic about affiliate marketing? Well, that's simple...

You don't need to create a product; you can sell any product you love by leading people to its sales page.

If you follow the correct path with the correct information, you can start from scratch. You do not need a list of people to promote to because you can (and will) learn all that you need to learn if you read the book.

You do not need to spend a fortune to get your business going. What you see in this email is probably the best advice I will ever send you. And if you read the book, you will quickly understand why. Whatever your preconceptions are about creating passive income, this will alter them.

Unless you are already very comfortable and have all the wealth you desire, this will help you.

What you build will be totally under your control. There will be no more collapsing systems, no more exposure to scams that steal your money, and no more relying on other people or other things to pay you. You will be in charge and in control of your own destiny as you build something that could last a lifetime or even generations if you pass it on to someone else.

In time, using what you've learned, you could create your own digital products to sell. Why digital? Again, it is simple: there are no overheads in producing the product. If you want to make printed material (like Rob's book), you can charge a small fee to cover the printing and delivery costs.

You spend time writing it/putting it together, and now, of course, with A.I., you could even get it written for you (caution: you will always do better though with your very own unique written creation, but as a research tool, A.I. is brilliant).

With the proper "training," you can make six figures or more annually with affiliate marketing. With time, focus, determination, and, most of all, "consistency," the sky is the limit. All you need to be is motivated. All you need to have is the desire to improve your situation.

This is the ultimate business, the ultimate source of evergreen passive income that you will find.

If you do nothing else, I highly recommend you get hold of and read Rob's book. Who knows, you might just find the perfect solution for more income and dramatically change your life. At the very least, this book will give you some seriously good ideas.

To keep things simple, I have dedicated a webpage to this. Just go to:

www.thepassivewarrior.com 

There's an introductory video that Rob put together that you can access from that page that explains it all very clearly.

Here's To Your Future Freedom And An End To Financial Constraint!
