Now over the next few episodes, we're going to cover how to find the right affiliates for YOUR product or service. Right now, go to http://www.mattmcwilliams.com/first100 (anyway you spell it it works) and download my free report, Your First 100 Affiliates.

You have a product ready. You know it will change people's lives. The question you ask yourself now is: "Will my launch be successful?" How can you know if your launch will be successful?

In the last episode I shared why you should start NOW with affiliate marketing. In fact, if possible, start the moment you launch your blog/podcast/platform. You start out small and that has huge advantages. Many people think that being new, small, or unknown is a disadvantage when promoting affiliate offers. But, there are three incredible advantages to being small and getting an early start on affiliate promotions. Make sure to go sign-up for our free mini-course on Finding Affiliate Programs.
