This is the ultimate business model when it comes to earning a full-time living from the comfort of your home.
Why?
Because it’s the only business model out there that only requires you to get good at ONE thing…
Which is marketing!
And even better, you don’t need any money to start.
You don’t need your own product or service.
You don’t need to deal with customer support or shipping.
You don’t have to show your face (if you don’t want to).
Do you see why so many people love affiliate marketing?
Unfortunately, there are lots of outdated strategies out there…
Or even worse, the fake gurus who only teach affiliate marketing and don’t actually do it themselves. Luckily I take a little bit of a different approach…
In fact, I have made over R30,000 a month in affiliate commissions utilizing the same strategies that rich people use to build their wealth to massive levels.
But instead of buying traditional assets like: real estate, stocks, or buying businesses…
We are building up mini digital assets that bring in passive income streams every month on autopilot that require no money to start.
In our programs we reveal how someone with little to no knowledge about affiliate marketing can generate thousands of Rands every month from each digital asset you own.
Plus how you can do this from scratch even if you don’t have any online experience.
This way you can become your own boss AND finally start enjoying life on your own terms!
When I got started with affiliate marketing, there really wasn’t any good information on how to build your own automated business that was able to bring in profits consistently every month.
Sooo.. I had to learn the hard way – through trial ‘n error.
I’ve promoted hundreds of different products and have tried dozens of different strategies out there.
I’ve learned what works, and what doesn’t.
Moving forward you will never have to worry about the best way to get started from scratch again.
My goal is to help every student that joins no matter their skill level or experience, that is willing to invest the time and money to get the results they are wanting in their life given the in-depth value that is given.
It is my mission to bring you the best set of advice that is going to allow you to copy ‘n paste my results.
This is why I created this free cheatsheet.
But I won’t lie to you…affiliate marketing will take some hard work especially if you’re trying to get started all on your own…
But I’ll tell you what, the reward is well worth it.
And hopefully, this guide or other resources I’ve built for you at incomehub.co.za/24k-blueprint will help you get there much faster than I was able to.
Here’s the first step:
(Need some motivation? Here are some results to look forward to.)

Step 1: Join a Network
This is really the first step in any online space.
You have to join a “Affiliate/Cpa network” to get access to products that you can promote, the commissions range anywhere between R1 and R1,000+ depending on the conversion point and product.
How many networks are there?
There are hundreds of networks to choose from each with their own set of pros and cons, lucky all these networks have reviews on Google so you can see how reliable they are and how often they pay.
Step 2: Select an Offer
After you join a network, the next step is choose a product/service to promote.
As an affiliate our goal is not to be used car salesmen that just try to sell all day…
In fact that’s why most affiliates struggle to get any results.
The secret is to actually help and solve your audience’s problems by recommending a product or service to them.
It’s as simple as that.
You’re simply just the bridge between the customer and the product you’re promoting…
And in return?
You get a commission for every sale or sign-up that comes through you.
That’s really all affiliate marketing comes down to.
Here are some good ways to find a products to promote:
1. Sign up to affiliate networks: affiliate.co.za, maxbounty.com, clickbank.com etc.
2. Search for products to promote on offervault.com
Step 3: Get Your Unique Link
Once you have selected the product or service you would like to promote, you will get a unique tracking link that identifies you as the person who gets the commission.
The benefit of working with a network is that you can see your results in live time, if someone you refer buys a product of fills in a form, you will see the commission on your dashboard as soon as they are done.
Step 4: Website/Digital Asset
Which brings me to building digital assets!
Building a digital asset is one of the most important jobs as an affiliate…
(This is how you get traffic to the products you’re promoting)
You can have the best converting funnel, the best emails, and the best marketing strategy, but if you don’t have a consistent flow of people (traffic) coming into your funnel…
You WON’T have a business.
Luckily there are dozens of digital assets / traffic methods nowadays…
Whether It’s…
1. Youtube Channel
2. Facebook Group
3. Instagram Page
4. A Blog/SEO
5. TikTok Accounts
6. Facebook Profile
7.Website
8. Amazon Inspire
These are all digital assets you can continue to build and make money from each and every month rather than having to rely on ads.
You just have to make sure you’re building your digital asset around your specific niche that you chose in step 1.
(see examples below)

Step 5: The Funnel
You have a niche and product to promote…
You are working on building a digital asset in that niche…
Now what? You need a way (or a funnel) that will market that product for you on autopilot.
Us affiliates call this a “funnel”.
The absolute first step to a successful affiliate funnel is having some kind of free gift or lead magnet to get your niche interested.
And in exchange for the free gift the lead gives you their email address.
(This is also known as a lead magnet: free training, pdf, guide, video, checklist, ebook, quote, etc.)
When you have an awesome free gift that your audience wants…
It becomes extremely easy to get people coming through your funnel because…
Who doesn’t like free stuff?
You might be thinking this is great, but how does giving away something for free make me money?
1) It doesn’t.
The whole point of this first step is to build your email list, give value to your leads, and show them that you’re here to solve their problems through your free gift.
2. After they claim their free gift…
I will usually take them to a bridge page where I recommend an even faster or better solution (the product I’m an affiliate for) that’s related to the free gift.
On the next page there will be some real examples of successful affiliate funnels that you can model for your own niche…
Here are some examples of successful affiliates funnels to use:
Funnel Example #1 –
Niche: Crypto
Product: Crypto Trading Bot
Lead Magnet: Free Training
Funnel Example #2 –
Niche: Credit Repair
Product: Credit Repair Software
Lead Magnet: 30-Day Credit Repair Challenge
Funnel Example #3 –
Niche: Keto Diet
Product: Keto Challenge
Lead Magnet: Free Keto Recipes
Those are just a few examples of funnels in different niches.
Now I understand building your own funnel can seem really overwhelming…
(At least I know it was for me when I first started)
Which Is why I created a resource like the 24k Blueprint Course.
P.S. Does everybody convert off of the funnel right away?
Definitely not. Which is why step 5 of this guide is by far the most important step to success…
Step 6: The Follow Up
Have you ever heard the saying…
“The money is in the follow up?”
Well it’s true! If you go back to part 3 of this checklist…
You’ll notice how every funnel example I showed asks for your email address in order to get access to the free gift.
Well that’s because your email list is by far one of the most valuable digital assets you can build online.
The more emails you have = the more money you will make…period.
A common rule is for every email you have on your list you’ll make $1 per month from each email.
So if you have 5,000 emails of people all interested in losing weight you can easily make around $5,000/mo in commissions promoting weight loss related products to them.
See how this all comes together now?
But what are you supposed to write in your email follow up to get people to buy off your link?
That will always depend on the product you’re promoting…
What problem is it solving?
To make this make more sense…
On the next page I’ll show you the exact framework I follow for nearly all of my most successful email follow ups, no matter what the niche is:
Here is an example of the exact framework I use for my email follow up:
Email 1: Lead magnet deliver + why you’re here / what can they expect.
Email 2: State the problem they have & why it’s a big deal.
Email 3: Give empathy to the problem with your own story + soft recommendation.
Email 4: Introduce the solution (the affiliate product), how it helped you & can help them too.
Email 5: Why you picked that solution… (why you picked Coke over Pepsi or Builderall over Clickfunnels…they need to know why this solution is the best over everything else, before buying)
Email 6: Proof your solution is the best! (customer testimonials or results the product has brought you)
Email 7: Overcome objections (these are questions the lead might have before buying.
Email 8: What you get + introduce your free bonuses!
Email 9: Reasons to act now! (scarcity, let them know your bonus offer is closing soon)
Email 10: Last call, the offer is closing forever (Don’t be afraid to give scarcity in your offer, people need a reason to act now!)
After they go through your follow up, you should see anywhere from 5% – 10% of your leads turn into commission for whatever you’re promoting
P.S. We will go over HOW to consistently get leads coming into your funnel and follow up in the next step coming up
Okay…so you did your follow up, you made some offers, you solved their problem, you made some sales, now what?
At this point this is where most affiliates will NEVER speak to their lead again…
But in reality this is where the REAL money is!
As I said before, your email list has the ability to generate you monthly income for the rest of your life…
In order to do that you need to consistently email your list preferably multiple times per week (That’s 2-3 times per week)
Will some people not want to hear from you everyday and unsubscribe?
Yes, and you should let them!
You only want people on your list that WANT to hear from you everyday and like your daily content/recommendations.
This way when you do go to make an offer, people get EXCITED rather than mad…
And most importantly, your conversions & sales will skyrocket to numbers you have NEVER thought possible.
“But, what the heck do I send these people everyday without getting repetitive or annoying?”
Great question…
Every niche is a little bit different.
For example, the way I sell or promote is by following a simple pattern like this:
1) Recommending content for them to watch (1-2 days per week)
Ninja hack: this doesn’t even have to be your own content. If it’s around the niche and it’s of great value, share it with them! That’s your job as an affiliate right?
2) Content with recommended product (1 day per week)
This type of email is similar to the autoresponder emails shown in the last section.
You typically want to give some content on a problem that your list is facing.
Share a story on how you or a friend overcame it, give some tips to solve that problem, then at the very end of the email….
Recommend a FASTER solution (your affiliate link…)
3) Give an offer to them they can’t pass up (1 day per week) No content here, be more direct.
Layout your offer and clearly explain the BENEFITS of the product you’re recommending.
Combine that with the product you’re promoting and you should have an offer they just can’t afford to miss out on!
Remember your broadcast list is an ongoing sequence that essentially goes on forever.
Once you build up an engaged email list of around 500 – 1,000 people that open your emails and listen to your recommendations, is when everything will CHANGE for you.
This is the FASTEST way to a full-time income online.
I hope you can take this guide and ALL of these 6 proven steps we talked about today…to start a profitable affiliate marketing business faster than you ever thought possible.
And if this is overwhelming for you…
That’s okay, it’s normal to feel that way when learning something new!
If you need more help along your journey I have a private group I personally work with…
But I ONLY work with motivated people who are serious about making an extra R24K – R50K per month online.
So if you’re interested…
Looking forward to working with you!
