If I was learning affiliate marketing from scratch, these are the 7 things I'd learn first.
1. How to spot a product people already want. I I'd learn how to recognise existing demand, what people are already spending money on, what they complain about and what makes them choose one solution over another.
2. How to identify the person most likely to buy. "People who want to make money" is too broad. I'd learn how to identify the specific situation someone is in, what they're trying to achieve and what would make them seriously consider a solution.
3. How to create content around buying situations. I'd learn to stop making every post about the product. Instead, I'd talk about the problems, frustrations, mistakes and moments that make someone realise they need the kind of solution I'm recommending.
4. How to create desire without constantly pitching.
5. How to have a sales conversation.
6. How to track what produces commissions. I'd track which content brings interested people, which conversations lead to purchases, which products convert etc
7. How to improve from every sale. Every buyer gives you information. Why did they buy? What almost stopped them? What did they ask before paying? What outcome were they hoping for? I'd keep collecting those answers because they make the next piece of content and the next sales conversation better.
If I understood these seven things, I'd have a much stronger foundation than someone who simply learns how to get an affiliate link and start posting it everywhere.
Your LinkedIn profile IS NOT separate from your content strategy.
Your posts can get someone curious about you and yprofile is where they go next.
So what happens when they click?
Do they immediately understand who you are?
Do they know what you do?
Does your picture look professional?
Does your profile make them want to stay?
Inside B.O.L.D., we’re looking at the whole system, not just getting you to post every morning.
Content will get you the attention you want but it’s your profile that will turn that attention into interest.
The challenge starts on the 17 but the Pre-challenge has already begun.
The Pre-Challenge is to help you prepare for the challenge.

“School na scam.”
Until you find yourself in a room full of strangers with exceptional communication skills.
People speaking with confidence, expressing themselves clearly, and carefully choosing their words.
That’s when you’ll realize education isn’t just about passing exams or getting a certificate.
It changes the way you think, communicate, and carry yourself.
Maybe then, you’ll understand why being educated actually matters.
So there's this misconception that to sell to people, you need to do a lot of talking or that salespeople need to know all the right words to say.
While that isn't entirely false, it doesn't capture what actually happens.
If you've ever finished a sales conversation and thought,
"I explained everything. I don't know why they didn't buy."
There's a good chance that was the problem.
You explained EVERYTHING.
You spent so much time making sure they understood your product that you never took the time to understand them.
If someone tells you, "I'll think about it."
Never reply with just "Okay."
That response ends the conversation.
Instead, do this:
You: "That's completely fine. Before you go, can I ask one question?"
They'll almost always say yes.
Now take them back to the problem.
"Earlier you mentioned that this issue has been costing you clients every month. Roughly how much would you say it's costing you?"
Let them answer.
Then ask,
"If I could guarantee this problem disappears, and you never have to deal with it again, would you want that?"
The answer is almost always yes.
Now ask,
"So it doesn't sound like you're thinking about whether you want the result. It sounds like you're thinking about something else. What is it?"
Now they will tell you the real objection they have.
There you go!
If you sell something, your educational content isn't supposed to teach everything you know.
It's supposed to move people one step closer to buying.
People mix these two up all the time.
They create content for the audience they already have instead of the audience they want to attract.
Here's a simple way to think about it.
If your goal is sales, your educational content should answer questions like:
• Why is this problem worth solving?
• Why does this solution work?
• Why should they do it now?
• What mistakes are keeping them stuck?
• What should they stop believing?
You're preparing people to see the value of your offer.
If your goal is attracting new people, your educational content should be easier to discover and consume.
Things like:
• Beginner mistakes
• Checklists
• Simple frameworks
• Myths
• Quick wins
• Industry secrets
• "How to" posts
These bring new people into your world.
One type of content attracts while the other ther converts.
You need both.
If all you do is attract, you'll struggle to make sales.
If all you do is sell, you'll eventually run out of new people to sell to.
I'm going to show you exactly how to make your first ₦100k online even if you've never made a single sale before.
Here's what you do:
Step 1: Open your phone and look at the last problem you
googled or asked someone about: Three months ago you didn't know how to do something, you figured it out and now you can do it without thinking, that's your product right there because someone else is googling that exact thing today.
Step 2: Write down every single step you took to solve it: Be specific, include the mistakes you made, the things that confused you, the moment it finally clicked, turn that into a 10-15 page document with screenshots if possible, this is your guide.
Step 3: Price it around 8-10k
Step 4: Post one piece of content daily that explains
why people are stuck on that exact problem: Explain what they're doing wrong, what they're misunderstanding, where the advice they're following breaks down, do this for 14 days straight without selling anything, just prove you understand their frustration.
Step 5: On day 15, post your offer like this:
"I spent two months figuring out [specific thing], made every mistake possible and finally cracked it, I turned everything I learned into a guide so you can skip the confusion, here's what's inside, here's what you'll know how to do after reading it, ₦7,500, link in bio"
Step 6: Send it to three people who've engaged with your content and ask if they want it.
Direct message, no pressure, just "hey I noticed you liked my post about X, I just finished a guide on it, would this help you?" and send them the link if they say yes.
That's your first three sales right there if you've done steps 4 and 5 properly.
Do this exact sequence and you'll make ₦100k in 45 days.
Go to your udemy (either the app or website)
Check around for where you see “become a tutor”
They’II show some guidelines about recording with good lighting, mic etc.
Finish all the procedures and you can upload your videos.
Once your course is done, upload, add description, set your price etc.
Udemy does the rest of showing people your courses etc.

You know what's underrated in affiliate marketing?
Patience‼️‼️
Everyone wants quick results.
Very few people are willing to stay consistent long enough to earn them.
The truth is…
Nobody owes you engagement.
Nobody owes you sales.
Nobody owes you support.
Your job is to keep showing up and giving people a reason to trust you.
Everything else follows. 📌
3 psychological tricks that will make total strangers buy from you without you ever sending a creepy DM:
1. Give away your BEST stuff for free. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but.. when you consistently give free value, people feel psychologically obligated to give back.
It's called the reciprocity principle.
