I want my daughters to succeed, so here's what I teach them

Published: Thu, 08/31/17

Whenever I tell an audience I have five daughters, the response is laughter combined with a groan -- as if I'm part of a joke I haven't been let in on yet.

But they are treasures, and I can't imagine life without them.

Of course, they're also a captive audience. Heh heh.

Once in a while in conversation I give them ideas for things they'd enjoy doing that they could also monetize. Why not get them thinking like entrepreneurs?

You could do X, Y, or Z, I say, and support yourself by promoting products A, B, and C as an affiliate.

I keep telling my wonderful Regina, 14, that if she launched a cat podcast -- she knows more about cats than anyone I know -- I could easily help her monetize it.

Maybe it wears on them, but at the same time I know they understand there are worse fates than having a nerdy Dad who wants his daughters to succeed.

One thing they agree on for sure: it's pretty neat to be at the beach, or throwing a Frisbee, or eating a snack and be notified that you just earned a commission.

Especially on something you'd forgotten about, which happens once in a while, too.

That's as close to free moolah as I'm ever going to get on this earth.

Of all the topics I cover on my website and on this list, affiliate marketing generates the most interest. I think everyone is drawn to the earning-commissions-at-the-beach thing.

So here's what I'll do.

Udemy has an excellent course on affiliate marketing and how to do it. At Udemy you have to buy it.

I'll give it to you for nothing.

What you have to do: pick up Bob Bly's book The 21 Steps to Internet Marketing Success -- a veritable goldmine of actionable material -- at the link below and forward me your receipt, and I'll send you this course for free.

The course has earned 4+ stars from happy students, so you know it's worthwhile.

Bob Bly, remember, is the only person I have ever allowed to write for me. That means I trust him more than I trust, well, pretty much anyone. So you'd want his book even without the bonus.

But a full-blown Udemy course for free? Sometimes I amaze even myself.

I'm withdrawing that bonus after a few days, so time's a wastin':
