1•2•3 Affiliate Marketing
Part of the All-Access Pass course library. Learn to authentically generate more income with affiliate marketing.
Let SPI help you make more money (ethically)
If you’re hoping to generate an income online, and you haven’t really taken the time to learn affiliate marketing, then you’re absolutely leaving money on the table.
Chances are good that you’re facing an all-too common dilemma: how to “crack the code” of monetization and generate an income ethically from the audience you’ve been building. Maybe you’re not ready to create your own product from scratch (or you’re worried that it will make you look like you’re “selling out”) but you do know what your audience wants and needs.
Affiliate marketing offers a great solution to these concerns. With affiliate marketing, you can generate an income by recommending market-tested products you already trust. Affiliate marketing is a time-tested income-generation strategy with two powerful benefits: it allows you to maintain and strengthen your audience’s hard-won trust in your brand, with no need to invest time and energy creating products of your own.
Sadly, it’s easy to do affiliate marketing the wrong way—by putting money before your audience’s needs and trust, and damaging that relationship in the process.

Meet Your Course Instructor
Hi, I’m Pat Flynn, founder of SPI. Affiliate marketing changed my life.
At first, I was too afraid to create my own products, and I didn’t know what to build. But over time I found that by sharing and recommending the products that had already been proven to help people, companies would pay me for sending new customers their way, and my audience would thank me for sharing those resources with them.
Since 2010, when I started affiliate marketing, I’ve generated over $3.5 million from affiliate revenue alone. I even documented the details for the first ten years of my business in my monthly income reports over on smartpassiveincome.com.
Affiliate marketing can be done the wrong way, or it can be done the right way. I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, and I want to use that knowledge to teach you how to generate affiliate income ethically and effectively.
If you’ve been struggling to generate an income online, and you’re not sure how to start monetizing, 1•2•3 Affiliate Marketing is for you.
