How to Decide on the Right Course

After being inside of more than 10 MRR and Affiliate courses, I can confidently say that all courses are not created equal. I had to learn this lesson the hard way and that’s why I have been focused on cutting through the noise so I can help you make the most informed decision when you’re ready to jump into your own digital/affiliate marketing journey.

Ask a stock broker to predict how the momentum of a given security will determine it’s future value. Then buy that asset based on his/her recommendation…

If you’re a prudent investor, you will quickly see how following this ill-advised suggestion would be.

You may be asking yourself, “what does this have to do with starting a side hustle?”

Momentum in the stock market will ebb and flow. Regardless of what financial theory you ascribe to, choosing the right assortment of assets to invest your money into will be heavily risk involved and you would be wise to use discretion and evaluate some fundamental underlying principles driving the organization or causing that momentum.

Answer These Questions When Choosing the Right Option for You ✔️ 

Is the person “influencing” you actually delivering value? 💣️ 

The fact that you’re reading this right now, I would be willing to bet, at some point, you’ve seen creators claiming how only an hour or two a day working from your phone can net you 5-figures a month.

This is one of the major issues in this space right now. Illegal income claims, unrealistic expectations, and an almost “get-rich-quick” feel to some of the captivating content out there is creating an environment preventing people from truly understanding what they can achieve using social media.

The problem with most of these accounts is that they’re actually making life-changing money, which is why it is creating the mirage that it really is that simple. If that’s what you’re hoping to achieve, hold on to your money. Heck, put it in some stocks and you’ll have a better chance at realizing a profit.

If you’re serious about taking action and launching into this space and making a real impact in people’s lives, you need to follow and connect with creators actually providing value. These creators are the ones who will be able to inspire you as your build out and develop your strategy, dial in your messaging, and build your brand.

You should be connecting with and learning from people in this space. That’s the (difference of being a passive user on social media and a proactive creator).

Where do you see this program in 5 years? 📈 

We witnessed an unfortunate series of events in the Digital Marketing and MRR space over the past year. Programs that captured momentum and buzz on social media have been forced to cease operations or just disappeared entirely.

Imagine this for a moment; you invested in an opportunity, you were satisfied with your investment and began building a page marketing this product, maybe you even started making sales and felt that all your efforts were paying off.

Then, one day you wake up and learn that the platform you built everything on had vanished. No more product, no more sales, and no path forward.

This same story has happened too many times to count. You need to be aware of when an opportunity has the potential of following the same path.

What are the underlying values of the organization you’re considering? 💙 

If you’re seeing content coming from the main creators affiliated with a product that just doesn’t align with your values, that’s the first good sign that you need to be hesitant to get involved.

What you want to be involved in is something that operates with honesty and integrity. You want to work with people who are focused on helping people and adding value, not chasing money.

There are a lot of great side hustle options out there, but there are even more bad ones. Make sure the one that you choose is one that you’re willing to put the weight of your character behind. When you can confidently say you support and believe in a product, it will be much easier to pour your time and energy into and market to other people. You have to believe in the products you’re promoting.

The Perfect Option 🎁 

Right now, you might be asking where to find an option that meets all of these. That’s a valid question because no matter where you look, there are people out there associated with every organization that may not be doing what I would call “the best thing” for this industry.

That’s where The Roadmap Exclusive has succeeded in changing the conversation about this space.

They set out on the mission to equip people with the skills needed to build in the digital space. In addition to the value, they aim to provide for their community, they pioneered the MRR model, giving away 100% of profits associated with joining. They generously passed those profits along to those who saw the vision they had.

As happens with all good things, bad actors came into the space and made the MRR model a dangerous and messy concept where a lot of well-intended people were being taken advantage of. Fortunately, for us “Roadies”, as we’ve become endearingly referred to, Zack and Hannah pivoted.

Honesty, Integrity, and Longevity

True to their mission of helping people make their way into this space, they transitioned away from the MRR model and implemented a dynamic affiliate model. This shift allowed them to ensure that community members are engaging in best marketing practices, not violating FTC compliance regulations.

Rather than taking 100% of the profits when you sell their platform, members get an 80% affiliate commission. This enables them to support the work that needs to be done on the backend (creating quality training modules, supporting members, hotsting, etc.) ensuring continued quality growth and making sure creators will have a space to learn, grow and monetize for a long time to come.

Their goal is to give people the knowledge to build an online business. (It’s not just about buying a course to sell a course). The genius behind the original MRR model and the new hybrid version is that it gives people the ability to begin implementing the skills their learning inside the course by marketing this high-ticket item.

Growing beyond the course

The people who are finding the most success with their social media side hustle start off with a much bigger goal in mind. A lot of people have been tricked out of their money coming into this space with the expectation that if they take the time to produce a prescribed type of content, then sales will start pouring in.

This mentality needs to stop.

Where do you want your efforts to take you? More importantly, what type of impact do you want to have in the lives of other people?

THAT is where you need to start.

Do you want to affiliate for other companies or products? Do you want to build your own course teaching people about the areas that you are an expert? Do you want to launch a podcast? Do you want to use social media to launch that product or brand idea you’ve kept in your head for too long?

Master this space and with the right plan in place there is no limit to what you can achieve with a side hustle.
