Hi everyone, I’m new to the group. I’ve been the affiliate manager for Umbrella and Really Successful since 2014. Really Successful teaches people how to start and grow businesses in e-commerce and affiliate management. Umbrella powers thousands of digital agencies worldwide, delivering done-for-you services designed for strong, scalable profit margins. Both products are sold through high-converting webinars led by Barry Plaskow, a top webinar presenter. I’d love to hear more from others in the group and explore ways we can collaborate.

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve seen a lot of strong affiliate marketers in this community, and I wanted to share a perspective that’s been helping many affiliates increase stability and long-term income. Affiliate marketing is powerful—especially for traffic, copy, and funnel skills. But one limitation many affiliates eventually face is lack of control: • No control over the product • No control over pricing or upsells • No customer ownership • Offers can shut down overnight This is why many affiliates are now adding eCommerce (especially dropshipping) as a complementary model—not a replacement. What’s interesting is that affiliates already have 70% of the skill set needed to succeed in eCommerce: • Traffic generation • Market research • Offer testing • Ad creatives & angles The difference is simple: 👉 Instead of sending traffic to someone else’s offer, you’re building your own brand, list, and backend. I’ve worked with affiliates who used eCommerce to: • Create predictable revenue • Build real assets (stores + customer data) • Reduce dependency on single offers I put together a short breakdown explaining how affiliate skills translate directly into eCommerce and what the transition looks like in practice (no hype, just structure): 👉 Expert Resource: [https://www.instagram.com/edwardtechlab?igsh=MXA3eHFpb3JyeWRnaw==] Not here to pitch—mainly to share insight and learn from the room.
