One super-easy source of "passive-ish" income I've ignored is one almost all of us can utilize: Becoming an affiliate for the tools and subscriptions you ALREADY use and therefore, probably endorse. I personally have an affiliate account set up for ThriveCart and BerserkerMail, yet I've never ONCE tried to sell these. Why? You probably pay for at least half a dozen SaaS products that offer affiliate programs. Yes, some of these products have "standards," like Canva's CANVASSADOR program (only accepts creators who regularly post Canva tutorials). But most of them don't. How to get started? Just search "my tool + affiliate" and get going. Applying usually takes a couple minutes. They'll provide you with a unique link. Best practices, you'd want to make a blog post, video, or some other piece of content AND offer something unique and valuable people can get ONLY if they use your link to sign up. For example, if I was actively promoting ThriveCart or BerserkerMail, what kind of bonuses could I make to entice buyers to use my affiliate link? Or, you could lazily post affiliate links scattered about the internet like this: 👉 Sign up for ThriveCart, the galaxy's BEST shopping cart software right here 👉 Sign up for BerserkerMail, the galaxy's BEST software for writing and sending emails Aaaaaannd listen to the money printer hum. This month, what's one affiliate program you could ENTHUSIASTICALLY jump into and start earning some passive dollars for the recommendations you're already making?

Anyone using a tool or software for your business you truly consider indispensable? Doesn't have to be revolutionary or bleeding-edge AI tech, just something you'd be lost without. Let's hear 'em...

Today we officially kick off our assault on social media: 30 days, 30 posts. As many channels as you can stomach (I'm doing 7 short-form platforms daily, with 1-2x per week as blog posts and YouTube longs.) Post your MAIN channel below if you'd like a little covering fire from fellow combatants. I'll be liking and commenting on your campaigns until we finish, so kindly do the same for your comrades so no one gets left behind. Here's my favorite platform: https://www.youtube.com/@Nick-Bandy/shorts Drop yours below, and let's do this!

Good afternoon and Happy New Year to all of my solar-inclined solopreneurs (Lunar New Year aficionados, your time is coming). Tomorrow, 12-ish of you agreed, via blood pact, to embark on 30 days of breakneck social media posting to grow our collective audiences. You haven't forgotten, have you? To inspire and perhaps, AMAZE you, I actually got started two whole days early. Leading from the frontlines, behold the majesty of our social assault in all 7 theaters of operation: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nick-Bandy TicTac Paddywhack: https://www.tiktok.com/@nick.bandy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickbandy8020/ THE Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/8020marketing LinkedIn AKA "Facebook With A Tie": https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-bandy/ The Artist Formerly Known As Twitter: https://x.com/NickBandy8020 wtf is a Threads AKA "Grok-less Twitter": https://www.threads.com/@nickbandy8020 It's really that easy! Before I "at" you and publicly call you out, who among us still doesn't understand how? Or perhaps lacks the iron will? How can we help you?

Earlier this year I joined a LinkedIn pod, which you can read about in one of my favorite emails of all time: LinkedIn Pods...A Whale Of A Time Essentially, you join a group of people who want to grow on LinkedIn and agree to post and comment on each others' posts at the same time. It's supposed to game the algorithm and get you more reach. I found that: 1. The reach I got was neglible 2. The comments I got were almost all AI written Related? 🤔 First of all, how lazy must you be that you can't even think of ONE UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL SENTENCE to write on someone's post? Second of all... If you're marching with us on our Social Blitzkrieg starting this Friday, would you want this 'feature?' Not as official and rigid as what I just described. But more along the lines of we agree to leave one brief comment on everyone's MAIN social media channel every day? Just one? Would you even want that? Cast your votes in the poll below, and let your decision echo through the halls of eternity.
