Matt McWilliams - How Anyone Can Recruit An Army Of Affiliates

Today we are chatting with Matt McWilliams, who works with some of the biggest names in our industry, such as Brian Tracy, Michael Hyatt, Lewis Howes, Ray Edwards, and Rich Schefren. We also recently worked with Matt as we had the pleasure of attending Rich’s event that was streamed live in Florida. 
Matt drops some golden nuggets on today’s show as we chat about how he transitioned from being a successful online golf instructor to running his own lead generation business to becoming known as “The Affiliate Guy”, a term well earned. Listen in as Matt gives advice on how to find the best affiliates, what to do if you are just starting out, how to run effective product launches as well as what not to say in your outreach emails. If you’re ready to take your affiliate income to a new level, be sure to check out these episodes with Dan Brock and Stephen Esketzis as well.
