One of our awesome No Product No Problem VIP students asked this question recently: "Productivity question: With all the aff programs one subscribes to, how do you keep track of everything without having to login to the various portals every time? I mean: checking if you've received commissions, clicks, etc..." In other words, is there an easy way to keep track of everything? Here's my answer.

I'll cut right to the chase...we're dropping the "Daily" from the "The Affiliate Guy Daily." We've learned that people need more time to implement what they learn and one of the ways we can help YOU better is to produce a bit less content and give you time to put things into action. It starts with a reduction in episodes. Listen up for more on why we made this change.

I recently got a question from a member of one of our workshops. She asked: "How do I know if I am ready to bring on affiliates? This launch? My next one?" I love this question because it shows she isn't just looking for a quick buck and knows there is a right time and a wrong time to bring on affiliates. Today, I answer that question and show you exactly what to do before you bring on your first one.
