I've been wanting to
get this off my chest for a while, and a reader's sincere question gave me the opportunity.
Mike asked:
If your friend Kevin Fahey generates $30K per month via affiliate marketing, why doesn't he just stay quiet about it rather than teaching other people how to do it?
This is a completely reasonable question (I've been promoting Kevin's $20ish
program Affiliate Takeover lately), and I have a very reasonable answer:
(1) My readers know better than anyone that wealthy people are screwed no matter what they do. If Kevin doesn't share his knowledge then he's selfish. If he shares it for $5,000 then people demand to know: how can the little guy ever get a chance? If he gives it away for free, nobody values it and therefore nobody uses it. And if he sells it at a low price
then he must be up to something.
Those are all the possible options.
(For what it's worth, I've been buying stuff from Kevin since 2016 and haven't been let down once.)
(2) With regard to Kevin's earnings, which are 100% legit: at the top of the affiliate game those numbers are not unusual,
first of all. I've had some very impressive results myself. I busted my rear to get to that point, though.
(3) You will not make $30K in a month without working very hard, learning everything you can, and taking this very seriously.
(4) I myself have made a small fortune through email marketing in particular. Yet I've sold a course on it for $97. Why didn't I
just keep all my knowledge to myself like a selfish bastard?
Because ever since I tutored math in high school I have enjoyed teaching people things. I like when people write to say they're doing well because of something I taught them, or when they get asked how they did so well and reply, "I just did what Tom teaches in his email program."
(5) Kevin teaching
people what he does will not affect his life negatively. There are billions of people on this planet. There's plenty of market to go around.
If Eddie Van Halen hosted a guitar camp, would we warn him that now he'll have a ton of competition? Do I worry that if people read my American history books my speaking career will be over because anyone can now stand in for me?
(6) If you had a skill that could help people, are you suggesting that you wouldn't share it?
(7) Unfortunately, most people won't take action anyway. The percentage of people who buy my books and then actually read them is small, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop selling them. What people do with them is their business. Same with this. Probably 20% of buyers will put in 80% of the work. I wish
it weren't so, but it is.
So I am very happy to recommend Kevin's new program to you, and please remember my bonus: on Black Friday of this year, the biggest sales day of the year for Liberty Classroom, I'll bump the usual 50% commission to 100% for you, which means that every time someone buys at $297, you get the whole $297.
Now that's a bonus, my
friend.
