Sales Page for Affiliate Marketing Roadmap

Any blog can use affiliate marketing to generate passive income!

Let me guess… you started your blog to make money not realizing how much blood, sweat, and tears would go into it. You’re tired of just breaking even and want to make REAL money.

You have readers, followers, and subscribers but how do you get them to buy something...anything? How do you actually make money from a blog?

Imagine this…

You’re playing with your kids, they’re giggling as they run away from you, when suddenly your phone goes *ding*

You casually glance at the notification to see that you got a Paypal deposit. Money just landed in your account and all you did was add a link to your blog.

It sounds like magic!

Nope, it’s affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing is the simplest way to bring in a steady income from your blog, email list, and social media posts.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement with an online retailer where they pay you a commission if someone purchases their product or service after clicking on your unique affiliate link.

The price for the consumer is not increased, in fact, sometimes they get a discount through your link.

Why do companies do this?

Because it’s actually cheaper for them to market through affiliates than to pay for ads. They get a better return on their investment, customers get a product they love and you make money!

It’s a win all around!

Why do you need a course to show you how to use a link?

Because there is an art to affiliate marketing. Just throwing a link in a blog post isn’t going to do much for you. I’ve experimented with different blog post types, email sequences, and social media posts.

I’ve made mistakes and I’ve had successes. Inside this course, I show you how to avoid those mistakes and capitalize on the successes so you make money quicker and easier than I did.

Hi! I'm Tracie and I'm the creator behind Learn. Grow. Earn.

I've been in the blogging world since January 2009. I still remember creating my site that January evening. I sat down and Googled "how to start a blog." I created my site only because I was finding hot deals at local stores and friends needed an easy place to find them.

After some time, I realized how much I loved writing and sharing advice to help others who were trying to get out of debt and save money. It quickly became my passion. But, again, I still knew nothing about blogging. I did not even know I could make money at this!

As much as I learned, I struggled. I did a lot of my own research, but I longed for someone to help me along my journey. I emailed countless bloggers asking for help. I received zero responses. Not one person helped me.

I vowed that I would never allow another blogger to feel what I did. I would share anything I'd learned to help them become successful. I am in countless Facebook groups and lend my advice as frequently as I can.

I know you can find some of this information online. But, the fact is you need to know what to Google. You have to understand all of these aspects of running a successful blog. Rather than spending hours doing research, you get it all in one place. And, best of all, you get me right next to you helping you along the way.

Over the years, I've made a lot of money through affiliate marketing. Check out some of these amounts I've made - from one affiliate program! And yes, that is almost $30,000 - in just a single month!!

"I wish I would have taken this course when I started blogging. It would have saved me a lot of time and energy. Tracie has compiled a detailed list of programs, ways to use them, and bonus material to help you learn all about affiliate marketing.

After blogging for a year, I now am going back into my site to try to improve posts and ways that I can implement all that her course has taught me— definitely worth checking out!"

- Erin Nutter, The DIY Nuts

"The Affiliate Marketing Course is perfect for beginners and those who have been blogging for some time. I feel this course gives the student everything they need to begin and be successful at affiliate marketing.

It’s easy to follow, well-paced and understandable, and is full of knowledge and not fluff.

You will find practical ways to implement everything you learned."

I even share with you my advanced marketing tips and techniques such as:

"I've been blogging since 2013 and for the first few years had never heard of affiliate marketing. By the time I got started with it, I had no idea what I was doing, and it turns out I was doing it all wrong, I didn't even know about 'no follow' links! I spent so much time finding contradicting information with internet searches, and as a result, I felt overwhelmed and ended up not even trying, so I was leaving money on the table with every post I created!

I recently tried out Tracie's Affiliate Marketing Roadmap course, and I wish that this existed when I started blogging! It goes through everything you need step by step and lays it out in very clear language to understand. Tracie includes video and text which was great because I love to hear someone telling me how to do something, but I retain information better when I read it, so this was great for the way that I learn.

I highly recommend this course if you want to improve your affiliate income. I truly believe that this course is great for bloggers who are just beginning their journey as well as those who have been blogging for a while"

No! Affiliate programs are free to join in most cases. There are a few programs out there that require a small fee to sign up but it is credited to your account and comes back to you in your first payout.

Nope. You can make money even if your blog is brand new. This course will show you which types of posts to write so that even if it gets just a few clicks, you’ll still make sales. But, of course, the more traffic you get the more income you’ll make!

Subject: Thank you, name (home buying workbook download)

Preheader: This workbook was created with you in mind

Hi {name}

Thank you for downloading the home buyer workbook. I hope you find it useful.

Here’s the link to the PDF so you have it on hand:

[PDF]

It’s one thing I wish I had when I bought my first home.

Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Georgia real estate agent focused on showing families the heart in each home.

For seven years I wrote about personal finance and real estate on my website FinancialBestLife.com with my real estate advice featured in splashy places like CNN, CNBC, Business Insider, Fox Business, and more. Then in 2019 after my website was acquired by The Motley Fool, I decided I wanted my next act to be working in the real estate trenches rather than just writing about it.

I’ve been working as an agent and investor for a while now, but I’ve also been exactly where you are now and remember it vividly:

I bought my first house at 26 using FHA financing.
My first house was also a fixer-upper and I used down payment assistance and a renovation loan product to get the job done.
I’ve bought and sold houses with my spouse and know the complexities of house shopping with a partner.
There’s a special kind of bittersweet magic that surrounds the selling of your first home, which is why I prioritize working with first-time sellers. We’ll get through it - and get you on to bigger and better - together!

Buying a home is, in many ways, stepping into the unknown.

Think about it.

It’s something you only do a handful of times in your entire life, which means it’s next to impossible to know how to get it right.

Over the next few emails, I’ll get into some of the frequently asked questions I wish I had known to ask my first time around.

When are you thinking about buying a house?

Subject: Before you start scrolling Zillow, read this

Preheader: Get your ducks in a row before you start this process

Hi {name}

The biggest mistake I see home buyers (especially first-time homebuyers) make is scrolling through Zillow before they’re ready to buy.

But how do you know if you’re ready?

If you can answer these six questions, you are probably ready to become a homeowner.

What’s your budget? Buying a home comes with all kinds of costs, not just the purchase and down payment. Because of this, it's smart to stay below the top of your budget.

Do you have at least 5% of your budget saved for a down payment? You can buy a house with as little as 5% down, but you’ll pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), which might still make sense for you since interest rates are low.

What’s your credit score? This will help you figure out what kind of interest rate you will be looking at.

Do you need to fix your credit score? If what you found in your credit report surprised you, work on fixing it.

Buying a house is an emotional process. Believe me, I know.

But before you allow yourself to fall in love with the colonial-style house with the wraparound porch, doing the leg work can save you the inevitable heartbreak of losing your dream house because you skipped this step.

Subject: How much home can you afford?

Preheader: The math is a little more complicated than you might think

Hi {name}

After you’ve successfully gotten all your financial ducks in a row, the next step in this process is to get pre-qualified for a loan.

The reason this is the next step is again to prevent you from the heartbreak of finding the house of your dreams is way outside your budget.

(P.S. If you’re in the Atlanta metro area or looking for a home in Northwest Georgia, I’ve got connections to mortgage brokers who can help you with this step!)

Getting prequalified for a loan sounds scarier than it is. Below is the three-step process:

Get three different mortgage loan quotes from lenders. It pays to shop around and do your due diligence here, because in my experience, talking to three different lenders will give you three very different experiences. You can do this online in minutes with your primary bank, or via a loan aggregator like Credible.

Select the lender with the best rate. Make sure you’re able to compare apples to apples here. I’ve seen some lenders increase the closing cost to pay down the interest rate, while others will have a slightly higher interest rate and a lower closing cost.

Get approval and a lock letter from the lender you’ve chosen. When you’re pre-approved, you have a set period of time (usually 30-60 days) when you can buy a home, with the amount you’re approved for. Note: this does not mean you have to find a house that costs exactly the amount on the lock letter, but it does give you an idea of parameters.

Once you’re done with this step, the fun can begin!

Subject: Finding the home of your dreams

Preheader: This is, hands down, my favorite part of the process

Hi {name}

You’ve done a great job so far! You’ve collected your financial documents, you’ve gotten pre-approved for a mortgage… Now all you need to do is go to three houses and pick your favorite one!

Just kidding, this is real life, not HGTV.

Chances are, you’re going to look at far more than three houses before you put in an offer, which is why you need an amazing real estate agent in your home buying “tool kit.”

Once you’ve selected an agent, the process should look a little something like this:

Tour homes
Find one you like and make an offer
Offer acceptance (and then you’ll be under contract!)
Offer declined (and you and your agent will keep looking.)

I’m simplifying the steps (and not even mentioning the amount of emotions and stress involved in all these details) But there’s just one truly important thing to know: you’ve got this.

And your house is out there. Even in a crazy market, it’s out there. I know it.

Let me know if I can help you find it.

Testimonials

"Emma was absolutely amazing to work with. She went above and beyond on my project. We worked together to restructure the way my course was set up on the Teachable platform. Because of Emma's expertise and experience with Teachable and all of their many options, we were able to set up the course in a much more organized fashion that has significantly reduced the amount of manual work.

Emma also completed her work in a very timely manner and was great at responding to me quickly whenever I had questions. That's super important to me and Emma went above and beyond my expectations."

Kayla - kaylasloan.com

"Working with Emma was delightful. She came very prepared to meetings, asked the right questions, and quickly set things up to give me peace of mind.

She was confident in her knowledge which made me confident. She helped me think through complicated workflows (for me anyway). And she worked quickly and was able to translate my vision into results."

Camille - morethanawheelin.com

"Emma did an amazing job. She asked straightforward questions, I was able to give her answers that made sense, and low and behold - amazing sales copy arrived in my inbox on time and without the need for back and forth editing."

Hope - thepurpleteacup.com

"Working with Emma was great. She took the input I had on the first drafts and applied it throughout the rest of the writing she did for me. She also asked great questions for ghostwriting which had never occurred to me, like if I have children, what are my hobbies, etc. Emma is easy to work with."
