3. Having an affiliate marketing
business has transformed my
life from struggling and living
from paycheck to paycheck, to
earning unimaginable amounts
money and living the life I have
always dreamed of living!
Being an affiliate can allow you to make huge profits when you know what and how to do it.
I created this eBook as a guide, and the purpose of this guide is to do just that - guide you.
It is not some “system,” and it's not a “get rich quick scheme,” which seems to flood the
internet these days.
This guide takes you through the process of real knowledge by putting together a real
business. A business that can work for you to create your own passive income online.
To all of my subscribers, followers and friends out there, old and new, thank you for the
gift of your continued support. I only hope this free guide can begin to repay you for the
time and attention that you’ve given me over the years.
Here’s to you and your continued success!

Those earnings on the last page did not happen
overnight so don’t get the idea in your head that
you can become a millionaire overnight because
that just doesn’t happen.
If you have someone trying to sell you something
claiming you will be a millionaire overnight, it’s
most likely a scam. And you should tell them to
@*!% off because it’s a waste of your time and
money!
Like I said this BLUEPRINT isn’t a “get rich quick
scheme,” most “get rich quick schemes” do tend to
work on making someone rich and that someone
isn’t you. It’s the person who is ripping you off
that’s getting rich, all while telling you that you
will be a millionaire.
As crazy as it sounds people still tend to fall for
get rich quick schemes all the time.
They give someone money to become a
millionaire? How is that supposed to work? Well,
it doesn’t work, and that’s that, so let’s move onto
more important things.

Before I tell you what affiliate marketing
can do for you, I need to tell you what it is
exactly.
Affiliate marketing is the process of
earning commissions by promoting other
people’s products or services. This may
sound boring and not really something that
can earn you a six figure income a year.
However, these types of business models
are the easiest and in most cases the most
profitable across the board when it comes
to the online realm.
You find a product or service that you like
and have an interest in, promote it to
others, and then you will earn a piece of
the profit for each sale that you make.

LET’S BREAK DOWN
AFFILIATE
MARKETING
INTO SOMETHING
THAT MAKES
MORE SENSE.
Most people want to have more money, but you
can’t get rich working for someone else. You also
can’t live the lifestyle you want when you have a
9-5 job. Affiliate marketing has huge lifestyle
benefits that a typical 9-5 job will never be able to
deliver.
Some of the major affiliate marketing benefits are:
#1 You can pick the people you work with.
#2 You can work from home part-time in your
spare time.
#3 You can pick the hours you work and how much
you work within those hours.
#4 You can give yourself an IMMEDIATE raise
through tax savings which is great.
#5 You have the chance to literally set yourself
financially free in far less time.

Affiliate marketing is great, here’s another way to look at it…
Let’s say Sara earns a $100 commission for selling a particular product as an affiliate marketer,
and it takes her eight hours of “work” to make a sale. Break down Sara’s earnings, and she's
worth $12.50 an hour. Put that in a full 40-hour work week, and she makes a nice $500 which
some people consider a lot of money. Most people perform affiliate marketing like Sara and
they’re going about it all wrong.
YOU could work 40 hours a week in affiliate marketing (getting five sales each week) making you
$500 a week, but that’s a lot of work for very little return.
Creating an affiliate marketing business following my BLUEPRINT can give you an automated
affiliate business, one in which you’re not trading your working hours for dollars. By doing
affiliate marketing my way, you will have automated business that works 24HOURSADAY,7DAYS
A WEEK, & 365 DAYS A YEAR without taking any breaks.
Your automated affiliate marketing business can easily get you hundreds of sales a week on
autopilot allowing you to make tens of thousands a month.
There’s no more trading your working hours for dollars like a
traditional 9-5 job entails.
>Affiliate marketing is the path to fame, fortune and time freedom.
>Affiliate marketing is a proven “million dollar” business model.
>Affiliate marketing is a career choice and a profession.
>Affiliate marking is fun, fast and exciting.

The first major thing that affiliate
marketing can do for you is make
you money while you sleep which I
get to in a minute within this Guide.
Second thing is you pick and choose
the people you work with.
Affiliate marketing is not your
typical 9-5 job where you have a set
schedule and time that you work to
earn money each day.
Affiliate marketing allows you to be
in full control of everything you do.

First Impressions can either make or break you when it comes to your sales, conversions, opt-ins,
and everything you need to create your income from affiliate marketing.
If you just went out to meet someone for the first time and the first words that come out of their
mouth is: “Hey, you should buy something from me.” You wouldn’t like it much either to be sold
something from someone you don’t know. It’s irritating right? When I am promoting affiliates, I
constantly try to get to know my prospector, and I invite them in, rarely asking for the sale right
up front. When you ask for a sale up front, it tends to turn off potential customers.
If you do have some success going the route of asking for a sale upfront, I congratulate you, and
I wish you continued success. However, this is the real world, and I haven’t seen much success
promoting affiliates this way, and I recommend you not to go the route of asking for a sale
upfront (get to know customers, then ask for the sale). :-)
WHEN YOU GO TO A SITE THAT’S COVERED WITH
ADVERTISEMENTS, AND BANNER ADS, WHAT’S
YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION?
When I come to sites like this I instantly get the urge
to leave because I feel like the site has no value. I get
the feeling that all they are telling me is:
HEY, CLICK ON ONE OF OUR HUNDREDS OF
BANNERS, SO WE CAN MAKE A BUCK!

I get asked by people all the time: Is this affiliate a good affiliate or a bad affiliate?
Then I ask them: Have you bought it for yourself, done some research, or seen what they are all
about?
99% of the time they say: I haven’t bought it or studied anything, and I have no idea what they are
about, so that’s why I am asking you…
I then say: How can you come to understand the products value if you have never been in the
driver seat yourself or tried to research anything about the product?
People only truly like and love things if they try them out for themselves, and affiliate
marketing is no different.

WHY AFFILIATE MARKETING IS YOUR BEST CHOICE
Among all the ways to making money online, affiliate marketing is by far the
most profitable and easiest way to earn money online. Not only is it the
easiest to learn, it’s by far the fastest way to make money when compared to
other methods.
For example, search engine optimization (SEO) can take months if not years
to start making money. Affiliate marketing takes only a few weeks to start
earning money as you will see with this guide.
I have in some cases seen people make money within a few days time with
affiliate marketing. That's just crazy! Don’t get me wrong I love SEO and other
ways to make money online I just favor affiliate marketing above all others.

The process of earning money through affiliate marketing has many puzzle pieces that
make up the big picture. Some of the pieces are harder than others, but the bottom line
is you should have started your affiliate marketing business “like yesterday”.
Each day you don’t have your online business up and running with affiliate marketing is
a day of potential profits lost. Luckily, starting your affiliate business is easy, so grab a
cup of coffee and let's get into it!

The first step to building a successful affiliate marketing business is finding a niche
where there’s a lot of quality products that you can promote, and where there’s a lot
of money to be made.
By definition, a niche market is a small market segment that’s within a larger market.
There are many advantages of targeting smaller niche markets rather than broad
markets.
When you are looking for a niche, you will want to take your time and put in a lot of
research before selecting a niche market to go after. Taking the time to do this step
right is well worth your time because it sets the stage for your future in affiliate
marketing. Researching and selecting a profitable niche is something I could show you
how to do; however, we’d be here all day and remember this eBook is just a guide. And
its purpose is to guide you.
When choosing a profitable niche, there's many to choose from so I will just give you:
THE NINE MOSTPROFITABLE NICHES CURRENTLY ONLINE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
These are all niches where your success is almost guaranteed because there is SO
much money to be made from them. Do keep in mind though that some of these niches
are enormous so like a said before, you want to target a subset within one of them.

1. WEIGHT LOSS
The weight loss industry is estimated to be worth more than $60 billion; there’s not much more to be said about this
niche because it’s just massive!
2. MAKE MONEY ONLINE
Out of all the niches, this one is my personal favorite because it’s an industry that’s desired by more than any other
niche. It’s easy to get into, and a lot of people find interest within the “Make Money Online” niche.
3. SELF-HELP
The self-help niche is an ever expanding and growing niche in this day and age. More people want to learn, gain
knowledge, and grow as an individual. This is an amazing niche that has a lot of potential for revenue.
4. SAVING MARRIAGES
This niche has a lot of money potential with high quality, high converting products to promote. It’s an absolute dream
for affiliates; it’s just a matter of you having interest in this niche. I personally love this niche even though I haven’t
ever been married before.
5. SPIRITUALITY AND BELIEFS
This niche is related to the self-help niche, with close relation to the demographics. People that fall into this niche love
to learn about themselves and the world around them. They are very loyal people, and they like getting free eBooks
which can easily convert them into customers (that’s if your free Ebook is setup correctly). I have always loved this
niche and the people within it.
6. DATING
When you promote the dating niche people are very loyal, that’s because people love the idea of dating and finding
someone. The dating niche is like no other, and there’s a high margin of profitability within this niche. You have a lot of
places to advertise, and it’s fairly easy to know who to target with this niche.
7. DIET/NUTRITION
This niche is closely related to the weight loss industry, but with a more narrow scope. This niche has huge profits to
be made within it. This niche has everything from healthy diet plans to helpful weight loss tools and is one of the
niches that I profit from each month.
8. SURVIVAL
As scary as this may sound I have always loved the idea of a zombie apocalypse happening. I just love the thought of
exploring the world without technology, being able to explore the city and to go any where I want.
I am not the only one who thinks this; there's a lot of people who go to a great extent to be prepared for the end of
the world. This niche is extremely profitable because people look at it as not only a hobby, but a lifestyle.
9. PETS
You would think that there’s just too many competitors out there for this niche, and there are a lot, don't get me
wrong. However, this niche is such a lucrative one because pet owners care for their pets as if it’s their own kid, and
they will go to great lengths for their pets. This niche has loads of money in it because people are willing to spend big
bucks to get their pets what they need/want.

CHOOSING A NICHETHATRESONATES WITH YOUR
OWN INTERESTS IS SOMEWHATAN ARTFORM.
Choosing a good niche isn’t taught very often. Having a well definable niche involves the
art of defining your particular niche and marketing your affiliate offers to that market.
Many business owners view the idea of choosing a niche as a strategy that will cut their
profit margin or limit their sales down the road if they don’t go after the big niches. The
real truth behind finding a well profitable niche is to choose something you not only have
interest in, but also something that has a profitability.
NICHE MARKETING COMES DOWN TO THIS SCIENCE:
YOUR INTEREST + MARKET PROFITABILITY
Finding something that “has a market + you having interest in that market” are the two
most important things. Having interest is good, but that’s not enough to make money
with affiliate marketing, the same goes for finding a market. You need to have both a
market and interest. You could be highly motivated to sell trash to aliens which is a niche
(crazy as that may sound, it exists). However, there’s not much of a market for selling
trash to aliens. What I mean is that you won’t be able to drive much profit because no
ones cares about that niche.

Having a well profitable and definable niche can
give your business more power.
Don’t go off and choose an extremely profitable
niche you don’t care about. If you try to target
the highest paying niche that you know nothing
about and don’t have an interest in, then it might
be just as bad as choosing a niche without any
profitability in the market.
Choosing a niche you have no interest in will show
through on your landing pages, sales copy, and
everything else which will have a big effect on your
earnings. Having passion for a particular niche is
good, but it doesn’t mean everyone else will be
lining up to buy your affiliate offers.
The better you can define your market, the
higher the likelihood you can hone your marketing
message to resonate with your market. Defining
your market will result in you being able to turn
your audience into fans, who will buy and rave
about your business for years to come.

Choosing a Niche based on interest alone: Like I said having interest in a niche is a good starting
point, but it won’t guarantee your success. When you go after a niche based on interest alone,
you might not care to research your market to see if there’s a profit potential in the niche.
Choosing a niche based on profitability alone: Diving into an extremely profitable niche is good
because you already know it's profitable. However, if you know nothing of the niche or don’t have
an interest in the niche itself, how do you expect people to listen to you if you don’t care about the
market yourself?
Choosing a niche based on Interest + Market Profitability: This is where you will want to be when
choosing your niche. It’s going to allow you to love your business for one, and two, you will be able
to make money (that's is the name of the game here). Trust me on this one because you will have
the best chance to succeed online.
Understanding your niche does involve some work, and I can’t go into everything within this guide.
Here’s a basic look at how it all works now that you understand niche markets more.
Niche selection 3-step process
Step one: Research your niche market keywords.
Step two: Analyze the competition within your desired niche.
Step three: Decide if you want to enter that niche market.
HERE’S HOW
YOUR INTEREST + MARKET PROFITABILITY
WORKS:

Back years ago it was more than enough to offer a free eBook to get someone to opt
into your auto-responder. Nowadays it’s much harder than it looks, and that’s because
you need to understand what people actually want. If you follow the first step of this
five-step process, it makes this step a lot easier when knowing what people want. If you
have an interest in the niche, it will also make this step go way smoother.
Once you understand what the market lacks and what makes people tick within that
market, create an opt-in bribe geared towards those problems. If it’s a health niche
you’re going after, you could create a simple eBook on ten ways to lose 15 pounds in a
week. You can even put a twist on the eBook, saying the ten ways don’t involve weights?
This will make people wonder and ultimately make them download the eBook to figure
what the ten ways to lose weight are. Persuasion is a huge part in this industry and
making them want something is the key.
26. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
22
Creating your Opt-in Bribe doesn’t always have to be an eBook or report, although these are
most likely the kinds you see on the internet. In some niches, you could give them a free video, a
trial membership to something or a downloadable poster. The most important thing is that it’s an
instant transaction after they enter in their email. Once they enter their email, they will be able
to download and use the free gift instantly. Don’t make your free gift something you ship, or
something you have to pay for, because you’re going about this all wrong if you go that route.
The next thing you will want to do, is create the highest quality bribe possible. If you don’t know
where to start, or even how to start, you can always outsource these tasks. The more stuff you
can outsource to well-qualified people the more time you get back. If you’re new to outsourcing
and don’t know of any places then I recommend:
UpWork: Their freelancers can tackle a wide range of projects big or small. This site is the one that I use most for finding virtual
assistants and adding people to my team.
Elance: is another great place to find a virtual assistant for not only your eBook, but a wide variety of things. With Elance you can
find top virtual assistant contractors and freelancers from around the world.
Freelancer: is currently the world’s largest online marketplace for outsourcing and freelancing services, as measured by the total
number of users and projects on their site. The site has over 9 million users and 5 million projects that it says it’s worth over $1.2
billion. It’s been a great place to outsource.
Envato Studio: has a great community of freelancers, and they have some great things you can outsource that you can’t get
anywhere else.
99 Designs: this is one of the best places for Expert web, graphic, & logo design. Make 100k+ designers work for you and get your
project done. You can get them to design you a killer eBook cover, but not the entire book that’s what the other places I listed above
are for.
Virtual Staff Finder: is a recruiting cost-effective, full-time and part-time professional service that work remotely from the
Philippines. They have account managers in Australia and the US with their full-time recruitment team in the Philippines, who have
access to several large resume databases. They have a proven track record of sourcing the ideal candidates to fill your positions.
You'll love this service because they find the candidates for whatever task you need making you not have to find them yourself. It
makes you able to outsource the task of outsourcing, how crazy is that?

One major mistake I see happen all the time
is that people create too large and too
all-encompassing bribes that explain every
little detail.
It, therefore, becomes a factor that
prohibits people from buying because they
say, “Hey, I haven’t gone through the free
thing yet, and its information overload! If I
haven’t even consumed the free thing yet
why would I purchase the main course
when I can’t even digest the sample of this
product?”
It’s sort of rule you should follow, don’t
create a thousand page eBook because it
will most likely turn people off to buy your
affiliate offer.
It’s important that your opt-in bribe is
top-quality stuff that you would want to
get your hands on. It can’t just be
rewritten Wikipedia entries, or nasty
articles you’ve scraped from an article
directory.
29. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
25
Once you’ve got your niche and your opt-in bribe, the next step is to create the
Auto-Responder sequence that will be drip-fed to your subscribers.
Your Auto-Responder sequence will generate sales and commissions for you on
autopilot.
Remember that this is all automated, and these emails do not get mailed out “live.”
They go into a special software (like AWeber) that automatically sends them out to
your subscribers at the appropriate time.
You just need to create the content for the sequence, and then the rest will be
automated. You do need to create quite a lot of content upfront, but after that it’s
easy sailing, and this is where the term “MAKE MONEY IN YOUR SLEEP” comes from.
SO, WHATMAKES A GOOD NEWSLETTER SEQUENCE?
A magnificent Auto-Responder sequence does two things:
It must build trust. You do this by making your emails informative and
authoritative. Give people lots of good, useful information for free on a regular
basis, and they will trust you.
It must sell. Of course, it must also contain links to the products you’re promoting
so that you can earn commissions. Your goal is to maximize the number of people
who click on these links.
30. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
26
It’s important that your newsletters are
created with top quality in mind because if
they’re not particularly attractive, people
will stop opening them. Therefore, no one
will buy the things you promote.
Like I said before don’t just rewrite
Wikipedia entries, or scrape nasty articles
from article directories.
The easiest way to ensure you’re giving
your readers good content is to make
every email solve a problem. Do your
research, look in forums, blogs and
discover what kinds of problems your
audience are facing. Then solve them and
provide real value to your readers.
WHY IS
QUALITY
IMPORTANT
THOUGH?
So,
GIVE YOUR
SUBSCRIBERS
SOME REAL
VALUE!
31. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
27
SO, WHY DO YOU NEED A LONG AUTO-RESPONDER SEQUENCE?
In my experience, you’ll get most of your sales within the first few weeks of someone
signing up for your list. However, I have seen many times people will continue to buy
from me for months and months (or years!) after they initially subscribed.
You can make good money from a shorter newsletter sequence (e.g. 2-3 months), but if
you really want to maximize the amount of money you get from each subscriber, I’d
recommend you make it longer (e.g. 2-3 years).
32. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
28
HOWTO MAKE YOUR AUTO-RESPONDER SEQUENCE TURN PEOPLE INTO SALES?
It’s a lot easier to make sales from your Auto-Responder today than it was five years
ago. Today most merchants will have created video sales letters that are both
interesting and informative, AND superb at making the sale.
Instead of having to pre-sell your readers with some carefully crafted sales copy, these
days you can just say “Hey, get this free video. It shows you X, Y, and Z. I don’t know
how long it’s going to be available! Go watch it now!”
If there’s no video sales letter available to you, the simplest way to incorporate your
affiliate link into your newsletter is to tie it back to the problem you’re solving to your
subscribers. If you know of a product that does an excellent job of solving a particular
problem, point this out within your Auto-Responder messages. You could say
something like this “One resource that I really recommend for ABC is Product Y. It
covers X, Y, Z and everything you need for D, E and F. You can learn more about it here.”
Once you’ve created your Auto-Responder content, the next step is to add that
content to an Auto-Responder software. An Auto-Responder is an online service that
will automatically send your emails for you. It keeps track of when people subscribe to
your mailing list, and drip-feeds them the right email at the right time. If you don’t have
the time to create content for an Auto-Responder series or the resources to outsource
this task. Please get in touch with me because my team and I can help you out with one
year worth of newsletters you can use for your Auto-Responder.

Setting up your email marketing software & auto-responder can be
done within a few minutes. I recommend AWeber for your email
marketing efforts. You can set up an AWeber Account by clicking the

WHEN YOU’RE READYTO STARTYOUR OWN EMAIL
LIST, YOU MIGHTNOTKNOW WHERETO BEGIN?
vWell, the good news is that I can guide you in the right direction to succeed with your newsletter.
It’s simple to start your email list these days using the amazing tools you have available to you.
The best option to build your email list is using AWeber. Setting up this service will allow you to not
only automate your newsletter it will also enable you to do many other helpful things on
auto-pilot. Don’t ever try to start an email list without a service like AWeber. If you go the route
without using AWeber then you will be losing people left and right on your email list, you might also
leave out some things that make it so no-one signs up at all.
Some people think there's not much point in having a newsletter when the people already like
their social media pages or perhaps follow their RSS feed. To put simple email is more powerful
than you might think, many people check their emails before they even get out of bed.
Newsletters are a huge way to drive sales, traffic, promotions, and many other things that you
need and more importantly want. Another great thing to keep in mind is that when you have a
newsletter you’re obtaining people’s email addresses. You don’t get people’s email addresses
from Facebook, Twitter, or RSS feeds. Newsletters or “emails” have a huge impact on the digital
word, there are more than a billion emails sent every day.

Once you’ve chosen your niche, opt-in bribe, and get your Auto-Responder put together, you
need to give people some way for them to sign up for it. What you need is somewhere to put a sign
up form where they can enter their name and email address. The best way to do this is to build
your own website or use a tool known as LeadPages.
Building a website is a lot easier than you think, and you can create a website in about five
minutes even if you’re a complete newbie, and costs hardly anything at all. Your only essential
costs are a domain name like yourdomain.com ($10/year), and web hosting (ranges from
$5-20/month). After that, it’s pretty simple to build a basic website using a tool like WordPress
which basically builds your website for you.
A WORD OF WARNING
I don’t recommend that you use free or paid services like Tumblr.com, Blogger.com, Squidoo.com
or WordPress.com to host and build your website. (Note that WordPress.com is different from
the software called WordPress — don’t get them confused.)
Even though these other services can cut out a few steps in the process of building your website,
you have to give up a lot of your own rights in return. Many will have restrictive policies on what
you can and can’t publish on your website. Some don’t want you promoting affiliate products —
which can be a problem!
These free web host sites are also able to shut down your site at any time, and it can make your
website difficult or impossible to earn money in the future.
This is why I recommend you build your own website and treat it like an asset.

CREATE SOME CONTENTFOR YOUR WEBSITE/LANDING PAGE
Once your basic website or landing page is set up, you can brand it with your logo,
design and then start filling it with content.
You can have a landing page without creating a website and LeadPages allows you to do
this really fast. They have their own stand-alone version to have your landing pages live
to the web without the use of a hosting account or domain name.
I do however recommend you set up a website and purchase a domain name because it’s
like owning a piece of real-estate, and you can’t go wrong when buying a prime piece or
real-estate.

NOW YOU’VE GOTALL THE PIECES YOU NEED
TO STARTEARNING MONEY ONLINE.
All you need to do is get visitors to your website, and your auto-responder
will do the rest. Getting visitors (or “Traffic generation”) is a huge topic to
cover, and there are lots of ways to do it.
Some of them are free, and some of them cost money. Let’s take a look...
39. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
35
FREE WAYS OF GETTINGTRAFFIC:
SEO: The main method is through SEO (search
engine optimization). This is where you
optimize the content on your website and
build links to your website so that it appears
highly in Google when someone searches for a
particular keyword or keyword Phase.
It can take a while to climb to the top of the
search engines, so while you’re waiting you
can use other traffic generation methods.
Referral and social traffic: You can also spread
the word about your website through social
media and by directly telling people about
your website on blogs, forums and other
places where your audience gathers.
PAID WAYS OF GETTINGTRAFFIC:
Paid search engine listings: Google AdWords,
AOL Sponsored Listing, and Bing Ads are the
main markets for paid search engine traffic.
With these services you bid on certain
keywords, and then you pay when someone
clicks on your ad and visits your site.
Other paid methods: Other options include
Facebook advertising, buying ads on popular
websites, and paying other web-masters with
large email lists to promote your website to
their list (called “solo ads”).
As an affiliate marketer, it is essential to get
well-targeted traffic at a reasonable price. It’s
often hard to know where to turn to get good
traffic in this day and age. That’s because not
only are there dozens of places to choose
from they all have huge amounts of other
people trying to get to the top just as you are.

ATTIMES, ITCAN GETOVERWHELMING.
You might be new to affiliate marketing and will soon come to understand that it’s not fun to
advertise at times. Since I have been doing online advertising for some time now, I have come
to love it. Paid advertising gets me good results, and it's very measurable and scalable.
41. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
37
THE BEST-PAID ADVERTISING SOURCES
Number 1 - Google Adwords: If you have been in the online advertising realm, you know that Google is king when it
comes to advertising. Their search network alone is accessed by millions of people every single day. Then you have
their advertising display network, which has millions of websites for advertisers to have their ads displayed on.
Combine both the search & display network and you have loads and loads of advertising capabilities.
Google is such a good advertising source for affiliate marketers and that’s because if you are actually performing
a real business then you will get some real converting traffic sent to your affiliate offers.
Number 2- Facebook: This source is a Monster advertising source, meaning it’s huge and incredible place to
advertise on. They have a huge traffic pull in the US and Internationally as well. Oh yea, it’s self-serve too, which is
what I like.
Number 3- AdBlade: I have used them for many years, and it has been an amazing place to work with. If you
haven’t ever used AdBlade then go setup an account cause its an amazing place to advertise on. AdBlade provides
unique advertising and monetization services, for both advertisers and publishers which is nice.
One of the big deciding factors for me when advertising is self-serve, which means you can go in and
change/optimize your campaign to your liking. When a network is managed, it doesn’t allow you to have as much
freedom due to the fact you have someone else managing the campaign for you. AdBlade is self-serve; then it’s
optimized on the back end with the rep. However, you do actually have the power to set up your ads and
everything else if you like, or you can have some help.
Number 4 - AdSonar: I love their network of sites because it has such a huge selection in terms of placements and
options. Aol can drive some massive traffic; I have got some great results out of this advertising platform. This
advertising source is a rep-managed network so that’s kinda of a bummer if you’re used to managing your own
campaigns. AdSonar is also known as Aol Advertising.
Number 5- Buy Sell Ads:This advertising source is a super easy way to get targeted traffic as you might have seen
in some of the videos I have created. It’s a self serve network that anyone can go in and buy from. There’s no
complicated things to understand inside the Buy Sell Ads platform.

You might be euphoric about earning a few hundred dollars a week from your affiliate marketing
business. However, if you want to hit the big time you need to overcome your initial urge to pocket all
your earnings. You need to reinvest a good portion of it back into your business to scale it up for
unlimited earning potential.
Buy more traffic and use your earnings to get more visitors to your website.
MORE VISITORS = MORE SIGN UPS = MORE MONEY.
When you make money, invest more money, that’s how this type of business works and it’s also about
using your common sense.
Build more affiliate marketing businesses for higher earnings each month. There comes a point
where it makes more financial sense to put your money into making more affiliate incomes using this
5-step BLUEPRINT. At times, you can hit a peak with some niches. Rather than trying to scale
something that can't scale any higher build more businesses like the one you already have. I also like
to encourage this to “spread the wealth,” or “not put all your eggs in one basket,” or “diversify your
affiliate marketing businesses.” It’s just smart to build your income this way with affiliate marketing.

PRO TIP #1 - HAVETHE CORRECTMINDSET.
I see it happen all the time, people going off creating a site to promote affiliate offers when all they care about is the money. You must come
to understand there’s so much more than just money when it comes to affiliate marketing. Let’s say you make a bunch of money for the
sake of argument, just because you make loads of money doesn’t mean you will be happy with your business. Build a business with your
passions in mind and have the correct mindset while you’re building it.
PRO TIP #2 - USE MULTIPLETRAFFIC SOURCES.
I see people all the time, not trying out multiple traffic sources. Even worse I see people not use any traffic sources at all. Using only one
traffic source forever is bad, and you can’t expect to make much if you don’t branch out and try new things with your affiliate marketing
business. If all you do is advertise your offers on your website or through sources that are “free advertising” then you won’t be able to
see the power and return of using paid traffic sources. Yes, free advertising works great, and you can see a lot of profits with it. However,
free advertising can’t be scaled up and measured like paid traffic can.
Paid traffic is the best source to gain an enormous profit with affiliates in my opinion. I have run thousands of campaigns both free and
paid, and I can’t hit numbers like I do without my paid campaigns. Having a free campaign is always nice, but I haven’t ever been able to bring
in the numbers I have by using the free sources and methods. If you’re new to the traffic game, then you can find anything on the internet
to become a master at what you desire most. If it’s traffic you want to learn than I have premium traffic courses that will teach you
everything you need to know about driving targeted traffic to your affiliate offers. Coming back to my point on using multiple traffic
sources, I am so thankful to have used more than one source.
PRO TIP #3 - ONLY CHOOSE 2-3 GOOD PRODUCTS.
When you first start building a business with affiliate marketing, most new affiliate marketers go out and try to promote every product
that comes to mind. Most new affiliate marketers sign up as an affiliate to every product they come across, and that’s a dangerous idea for
a few reasons. Number one: they won’t be able to set enough time aside for each offer to accurately set things up. Number two: they will
be scatter brained with everything that they’re doing because they have many things to setup and lots to worry about with their business.
You need to look for products that you’re genuinely interested in and products that reflect the topic of your site. When you start working
with a few good affiliate offers, you should consider dropping the ones that are not performing as well as the others.
If you focus all your time and effort with a few fantastic products, you will be able to see more rewards from those than you will by
promoting a lot of offers. When you’re able to put all your earnings, time, and effort into the best sources you will have much higher
returns than compared to having your time, and effort spread across multiple offers. When you first start out though, you will most likely
have to test out many offers. You might not make much money at first, but this will set you up to be in the best position with your affiliate
marketing business. Testing is the name of the game when it comes to affiliate marketing. You have to come to understand that when you
go out and have a losing campaign you’re not actually losing. You have data from those losing campaigns that you can use to make better
judgments on the next campaigns that you are going to run.
45. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
41
PRO TIP #4 - TRACK,TEST, AND MEASURE.
Whenever you run any campaign with your affiliate offers, you need to track and measure the results. If you simply just run traffic without
a tracking mechanism in place you run the risk of not knowing what the hell is happening.That’s because it’s hard to know what’s happening
if you don’t track what’s happening. You will see it becomes more prominent when you start to run more campaigns and traffic sources. For
example, if you’re running two traffic sources to one offer and you make a hundred sales you wont be able to tell what traffic source you
received the sales from.That’s why tracking is so important in when you’re running traffic. You always want to make sure you measure and
track your affiliate offers. The tracking software I recommend is called ClickMeter, you can set up a free account here:
scotthurtado.com/clickmeter Don’t skip this step as you will be losing valuable data when you run traffic to your affiliate offers.
PRO TIP #5 - TRYTO STAY UPTO DATE WITH AFFILIATE METHODS ANDTECHNIQUES.
Affiliate marketing like everything else on the web is extremely competitive and if you keep using the same old strategies you might be
limiting yourself and your earnings. You want to explore and test everything you do because affiliate marketing is in a sense a treasure
hunt. Some of my most rewarding campaigns have happened because I tried something new. If you act like the millions of other affiliate
marketers then you will most likely have the income they have which isn’t much. The most successful affiliates out there take risks, try new
things and are always pushing themselves to the next level.
PRO TIP #6 - ALWAYS RESEARCH YOUR MARKET/NICHE.
This one sounds like a no-brainer, but a lot of new affiliate marketers go out and promote the highest paying offer. Yes, having a high payout
is always nice, but what’s not nice is promoting a profit that has too much or too little competition. Before you go out and sign up to an
affiliate program go do some research and try to understand what the market is like. You will be able to make a better choice after
researching the market. If everyone and their dog are promoting a product you have an interest in; then you should think twice about
promoting it.
The same goes for product that has no competition whatsoever. If an affiliate offer has loads of competition then you will have to compete
against other people who most likely have a much larger budget. If the affiliate program has no competition, this is a sign of the product or
service having no market to even market to. When you have too little competition, it's worse than having too much competition. Before you
pour your time and effort into an affiliate program do some research so you can have a better understanding when you sign up and start
to promote. Some great tools that I use and recommend are Long Tail Pro and SEMRush to perform your research you can setup an
account for Long Tail Pro here: scotthurtado.com/longtailpro and for SEMRush you can open up an account here:
scotthurtado.com/semrush
PRO TIP #7 - HAVE AN OPT-IN BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR OFFER.
When you drive traffic to an affiliate of yours, you have to pay for that traffic. If it’s free traffic you’re running then you still have to put in
time and effort to obtain that traffic. Once someone lands on your offer page they might leave and never come back making you never able
to convert them into a customer. Having an opt-in page will allow you to not only build your email list, but more importantly build up your
conversions. If you have no idea what I am talking about then feel free to download the “Site Funnels and Email Flow Chart.” I illustrate to
you how a very basic offer and email work together to make you get the most out of your campaigns. You can download it here:
scotthurtado.com/emailfunnelflowchart
46. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
42
PROTIP #8 - OUTSOURCETEDIOUSTASKS.
Outsourcing is an amazing way for you to not only free up time, but to have a better bottom line in your business. When you outsource
things that you don’t know how to do or things that you don’t want to do. You free up time for things that are more important allowing
you to put your time into things that matter more.
When I first started out I tried to do everything myself which was not fun to say the least. When you try to do everything yourself it will
be a very long and dreadful experience, and you shouldn’t have to deal with running a business this way. Outsourcing is an amazing thing
that can allow you to free up a lot of your time (be lazy so to say), but still reap all the benefits of owning a business. When you outsource
tasks you will start to allow yourself to have a passive income. Having a passive income is what you want to have. A passive income is an
income you receive on a regular basis without you having to put much or any effort at all into it in order to keep getting paid. Having a
passive income is like getting paid to do nothing at all.
Again here are the places I recommend for outsourcing your tasks:
UpWork.com
Elance.com
99Designs.com
Freelancer.com
Studio.Envato.com
VirtualStaffFinder.com
If you’re serious about making money with affiliate marketing don’t just hope you will make money. It’s a minuscule chance you will make
money with affiliate marketing if you just go out and pick up an affiliate to run traffic too without doing the things I have illustrated within
this BLUEPRINT. Put the things I talked about in this guide into motion. Don’t play the guessing game because you will either waste a lot of
time, money, or both. Go out and test, track, measure, and build a real business that will get you real results.
PRO TIP #9 - BE EXTREMELY HELPFULTO YOUR AUDIENCE.
By helping people in your desired market this will allow you to not only build trust and rapport, it will get people to start coming to you for
their needs (which is exactly what you want).
PRO TIP #10 - BE PATIENT.
Affiliate marketing takes time even when you are starting an affiliate marketing business that just consists of driving traffic. It doesn’t just
happen overnight; it takes time and if you’re patient you will reap the benefits in the long run.
47. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
43
PRO TIP #11 - SELECTYOUR AFFILIATE PROGRAMS CAREFULLY.
There’s nothing worse than going out and building a business around an affiliate program you thought was great when later on you find out
it was a terrible choice to go with them. Do your research and understand what they offer you as an affiliate before you start promoting
them.
PRO TIP #12 - KNOW YOUR KEYWORDS WHEN DRIVINGTRAFFIC.
It can suck when first starting out and not really knowing how to drive paid traffic to your offers to start gaining a profit with your
affiliates. If you learn keywords, you will have a far better chance to win big in your affiliate marketing business.
PRO TIP #13 - HAVE A WIDE SELECTION OF AD’STO CHOOSE FROM.
When building up your affiliate offers its a good idea to test different banner ads. If you only have a few to choose from I would spend the
time to create a few dozen, all with different colors, ad copy, and if you can create some that are animated banner ads. Animated have a
much higher chance of people clicking on them.
You can go to the Resources page (scotthurtado.com/resources) to check out the ones I use and recommend.
PRO TIP #14 - CREATE MULTIPLE LANDING PAGES FOR YOUR OFFERS.
By having more pages to test and run traffic to it will allow you to understand what makes people buy your offers. You can also have them
opt-in to your auto-responder, which can automate the process of you driving sales to your affiliate offers.
PRO TIP #15 - ONLY PROMOTETHE BESTAFFILIATE PROGRAMS.
This tip is kind of a repeat of one I just went over, but with a smaller scope. Finding the best affiliates that reflect your interests will give
you a much better result. That’s because you might already be using that product or service, or you truly have an interest in the product
or service. I always experience my affiliates because I never want to promote something I haven’t tried myself. That’s because if someone
asks me questions then I want to be able to tell them exactly what I have received from the product or service I am an affiliate for.
PRO TIP #16 - BE HONEST.
When building a business around affiliate marketing, it is very easy to trick people into thinking you’re an expert. However, just because it’s
easy doesn’t mean it’s something you should do. I am sure you have been tricked into something before, and I bet you didn't like it. Keep it
honest and stay true to yourself with your affiliate marketing business.
PRO TIP #17 - BE YOURSELF.
This one sounds like a no-brainer, but I see people all the time trying to be something there are not, and they will soon give up if they keep
going about it this way. Being yourself will attract so many more people than if you try to be someone you’re not. That’s because people
hate fakes and phonies. Your friends and family know who you are, and they’re the first line of people who you should show your business
to. They will give you feedback on what could be changed or improved upon.

THE BLUEPRINT IN WORKING ORDER
49. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
45
PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT FACE WHEN USING THIS BLUEPRINT
I’ve made this whole process sound quite simple, but there are a few parts that can trip you up — especially
if this is your first time.
1. ITCAN BE DIFFICULTTO FIND GOOD AFFILIATE PRODUCTSTO PROMOTE
Even if you land on the perfect niche, how do you know which products will make a profit and which ones will
just eat into the goodwill and trust you’ve built with your subscribers, without any payoff? You can use
metrics like ClickBank’s Gravity score to identify products that are selling well, but this figure doesn’t tell you
the full story. In many cases, the best way to tell if a product will sell is to examine the product and the sales
page itself.This is easy for someone with experience to do, but if you’re new to online marketing you might not
know what’s good and what’s bad.
2. CREATING CONTENTIS EXPENSIVE ANDTIME-CONSUMING OR BOTH
You give this content away for free, and your subscribers reward you with their trust (and by purchasing the
products you promote). There’s no way around it. Creating this volume of quality content either takes a LOT
of time and research (if you’re writing the emails yourself), or else it takes a lot of money to pay a
top-quality writer to create it for you. For a year’s worth of emails, you’re looking at AT LEAST $2000 to get
them written for you. And even this poses its own problems: How do you find a good writer? How do you know
the writing is good, and that it’s actually going to sell? You could easily chuck $2000 down the drain on emails
that don’t make you money.
One trap that some people fall into is trying to cut corners. You might decide that you only want to pay
$5/article or email, and so you end up getting low-quality emails full of fluff. Or you might simply grab a bunch
of PLR articles and chuck them into your autoresponder sequence. The problem with low-quality content is
that it kills your list. They’ll stop trusting your opinion, and they’ll stop buying. Then they’ll stop opening your
emails because they’re always full of rubbish. Then they’ll get so annoyed that they’ll just unsubscribe, or so
many will report you as “spam” that your entire list gets shut down. In all honesty, this is the biggest hurdle
you will face: Creating the huge volume of top-quality content you need. But on top of that...
50. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM
46
3. IT’S HARDTO WRITE EMAILSTHATSELL
Even experienced marketers can have trouble walking the fine line between pushing a product too hard (so
that your readers get annoyed at being “spammed” and unsubscribe) and pushing it too softly (in which case
your readers continue to love you, but nobody buys). It has taken me a lot of years to get good at writing
emails that find this balance. In that time I’ve had a lot of horrible failures, where people have reported me for
spam or unsubscribed from my list. Or even worse — they’ve just not bought anything! It can be sickening to
think that when I’m emailing out to more than 100,000 people, just a slightly different way of saying
something could mean the difference between making $10,000 and $50,000.
4. YOU NEEDTO LEARN A FEWTECHNICAL SKILLS
Even with the best instructions in the world, you will probably encounter some bumps in the road when you
put this BLUEPRINT to work for yourself.
Setting up your website, registering a domain name, connecting your domain with your hosting, customizing
WordPress, adding content to your site, setting up your autoresponder... it can all be a little daunting. The
worst part is when you just want to get started, and you’re having to jump through all these irritating hoops
to just get the most basic functionality working.
I have a friend who set up her first website last week, and she was stalled for four days trying to get her
domain name to co-operate with her hosting provider.
It only took me 5 minutes to update her name-servers on the back-end. These little hurdles can trip you up
and kill your momentum when you don’t know what’s wrong with the technical side of things. People all the
time encounter problems they don’t know the technical language in order to fix their problems when they
arise.
Every year people pay thousands of dollars on things that only take, but a few minutes to fix.

5. IT’S HARDTO MAKE ITLOOK PROFESSIONAL ANDTRUSTWORTHY
Nobody is going to sign up for your newsletter if it looks amateurish. They just won’t trust you with their
email address. You’ll probably have to invest a little time and money into creating graphics and styling for
your opt-in bribe and website so that they look professional and trustworthy.
If you don’t have the design skills to create a passable opt-in bribe design, graphics, or website design, you’ll
probably need to hire someone there too. Note that “first impressions” on your website are important, and
a bad first impression is the easiest way to kill signups.
So if you don’t want to kill your chances before you even get out of the gate, it’s worth a little investment to
get this right.
6. IT’S HARDTO STAY MOTIVATED
Deciding on a niche, figuring out what your audience needs, creating all that content, building your website,
spending so much money and time just getting everything ready... It can be easy to lose sight of the prize.
52. ©2015 SCOTTHURTADO.COM

REMEMBER WHAT YOU’RE WORKING FOR HERE:
You can earn a full-time living from following this simple BLUEPRINT and the best part about
putting this guide to work for yourself is that it will practically run itself.
You can grow your business as much as you like until you’re earning what you want each month.
You’re your own boss, and you call the shots here.
You can work from anywhere in the world. You can spend the winter working from a tropical
island if you don’t like the cold. You could run your websites while exploring Europe. You only need
to be able to get to an internet connection every now and again to see how much you’ve earned.
Whenever there's a big promotion happening (or anytime you just feel like printing money) you
can email out to your list, and watch the commissions come rolling in.
You’ll build yourself a permanent asset that can’t easily be broken or destroyed by a Google
algorithm change. You could even sell your website or list of subscribers for a hefty chunk of cash
if you felt like it.
If you can keep all these things in mind while you’re struggling to put all the pieces of this
BLUEPRINT together, you’ll push through.

OR YOU COULD LETME & MYTEAM MAKE IT FOR YOU!
Remember how my friend spent four days trying to get her website to work, and I fixed the
problem in 5 minutes? This is how I feel about creating this BLUEPRINT: I have created so many of
them that it’s really second nature to me now.
It could realistically take you months and months to put together everything I have talked about
in this eBook, but for me it only takes a few hours of planning. I have a staff; resources and
knowledge to do the rest. Sorry, if it sounds like I’m rubbing salt in the wound here! But I do have
a solution for you... Just let me put together your affiliate business for you.
Let me use my experience, my staff, my resources, and my technical team to set up your website
and newsletter series for you. It would be all ready to go, and for a fraction of the cost of doing
it by yourself. What would that be worth to you, to forget about jumping all the hurdles I
mentioned before and just shoot you straight to the finish line. True bliss if you ask me. ;)
If that sounds like a dream come true, then please contact me, and I would love help you and
answer any questions you may have (my email and social links are at the end of this book).

FINAL WORDS FROM SCOTT
Congratulations! If you’ve made it to this point, you’re a rockstar, seriously. I know I’ve provided you with a lot to think about in this
guide. You now have the knowledge to take the information that you know, put it into action, and make some serious money. Here
are a few final thoughts I’d like to share with you before I finish up.
HOW MUCH YOU EARN ONLINE IS ALL UP TO YOU
The nice thing about doing business online is that you’re in total control of how successful you are. If you slack off, so will your
results. If you get totally into what you’re doing and crush it, the sky is the limit with your income.
DON’TWORRY ABOUTACHIEVING PERFECTION
If you worry too much about being perfect, you’re never going to get anything done. Get your system up and running as soon as you
can, and you can worry about those little imperfections later.
RESULTS DON’THAPPEN OVERNIGHT
Building an Awesome Opt-in Bribe is a fantastic way to give yourself some authority in your niche and possibly earn an extra income
at the same time. That being said, creating an Opt-in Bribe is not a “magic button” to stardom or riches. Nothing usually is. Don’t
ever believe those who tell you that you can be a millionaire overnight, because they’re flat out lying to you. Give yourself a chance
to succeed by giving yourself time to succeed.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help! There is absolutely no reason you shouldn’t ask for help when you need it. Many people, including
myself, are happy to help people out. You’d be surprised.
DON’TSTOP BEING AWESOME!
If you’ve finished all the steps in this guide already, WELL DONE! If we ever meet in person, lunch is on me because you deserve it.
Seriously. But your awesomeness doesn’t have to stop there.
Have you ever thought about creating more to go along with your affiliate marketing business? How about some instructional
videos, or perhaps even a complete membership website? You have the capability to create something amazing and help people in
ways that were never possible until now.
Take advantage of the time we live in, because yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. You have only today. So why not begin

I’D SAY; YOU’VE ALREADY STARTED.
55. I hope you’ve enjoyed this eBook as much as I loved writing it for you. I can’t thank you
enough for your continued support of my site (scotthurtado.com) and everything I do.
I appreciate you for taking time out of your day or evening to read this, and if you have
an extra second, I would love to hear from you.
Lastly, you can connect with me on Twitter (twitter.com/scotthurtado) or Instagram
(instagram.com/scotthurtado). And please don’t forget that my team and I can help
you get started with your own affiliate business. Anyone can do what I do and make a
living online. If I can do it so can ANYONE! Trust me on that. I’ve helped people from all
over the world, and there’s no better thing than to help people achieve greatness! If you
get lost along the way, there’s no reason to be scared because you can follow in my
footsteps and achieve your dreams and goals.
Thanks again, and I wish you nothing less thanTRUE success!
