Can a Non-Profit Use Affiliate Marketing?
One of the best parts of affiliate marketing is money you can make. But can a non-profit use affiliate marketing for fundraising? The answer is a resounding YES and I share how in this episode. Debbie Kay from Hope for the Broken Hearted recently asked me: Your question is one I have been thinking about and praying about for awhile. There are so many different aspects of my ministry and so many different audiences I reach… I think there are multiple possibilities for the affiliate stuff. You are absolutely right, it is a balancing act as far as I am concerned. I do not ever want to come across as one of those unethical ministries that is always seeking a way to part people from their money to line their pockets, if you know what I mean. Since my ministry went viral, I've been more like a social media missionary more than anything else…but, I am at the place I need to generate income while ministering. I think I can do that by offering things of legitimate value to those I minister to. I've been fortunate to work with thousands of non-profits who use affiliate marketing to raise money for their organizations. In this episode, I show how to do that and how product owners can work with non-profits as affiliates.

Do for ONE What You Wish You Could Do for Many
I recently gave a talk about going the extra mile in affiliate promos. I shared a bunch of ideas that I'm going to share with you, my podcast listeners over the next few months.

But in today's episode, I share how you can help more people by doing for ONE what you wish you could do for many.

Stop Trying to be the Expert
A received an interesting response to our affiliate marketing survey recently. This person wrote that it was hard "passing myself off as an expert with these affiliate marketing products when, quite truthfully, I am not an expert in anything. Isn't that living a lie?" I have good news though...you don't have to be the expert! In fact, you can have a huge impact and make a lot of money being a fellow journeyman. I share how in today's episode.
