For those that don&#x2019;t know what affiliate marketing is, it&#x2019;s the process of recommending another company&#8217;s product or business and in return for making them a sale, you&#x2019;ll earn a commission.<\/p>\n<p>This means you don&#x2019;t need to have your own product in order to start earning, you can simply promote other businesses you feel are valuable.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing a lot of success for myself, I decided to create a program that could help individuals who wanted to step into the online space learn the skills needed to succeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimategrowthacademy.com\/\">Ultimategrowthacademy.com<\/a> helps beginners learn basic web, marketing, and sales skills in order to become an awesome affiliate marketer!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_market_does_your_online_course_serve\"><\/span>What market does your online course serve?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I help complete beginners who want to escape the corporate rat race learn how to build a digital business on the side.<\/p>\n<p>Because affiliate marketing doesn&#x2019;t require you to build your own product, deal with customers, complaints, refunds, shipping, etc. it&#8217;s the perfect business model to get started from a time perspective.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a very low barrier to entry in terms of cost.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30467\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5-1030x579.png\" alt=\"James Hancox site\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5-1030x579.png 1030w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/James-Hancox-5.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What&#x2019;s the biggest benefit of taking your course?<\/h2>\n<p>I don&#x2019;t just teach affiliate marketing solely, it&#x2019;s centered more around the whole creation of building a digital business.<\/p>\n<p>From how to find buying customers using free marketing and paid marketing, how to build an email list, how to build relationships, and how to grow and scale a business.<\/p>\n<p>This means it&#x2019;s perfect for anyone wanting to learn how to acquire customers for a business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_you_get_into_the_market\"><\/span>How did you get into the market?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I actually stumbled across one of those very annoying YouTube adverts from a guy who was traveling Europe and working remotely.<\/p>\n<p>At the time I was in my job in real estate working very long hours and he was talking about the ability to create time and geographical freedom.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I was skeptical, I decided to find out more, and I ended up purchasing his course and worked like crazy at it.<\/p>\n<p>I completely re-skilled, learned how to build websites, landing pages, email lists, promote and sell products, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The first 6 months were by far the hardest and I&#x2019;ll admit I nearly quit many times when I couldn&#x2019;t see the results I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>But after 9 months things massively started to work to the point I could leave my job and go off traveling with my partner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_decide_to_create_an_online_course_in_the_first_place\"><\/span>Why did you decide to create an online course in the first place?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After getting a lot of success in the affiliate marketing world and being on the top of different companies&#8217;

You also know that videos may be between 5-20 minutes, so potential customers have this much time.<\/p>\n<p>If you can convince them what you&#x2019;re going to show them is better, they have time and they are in the mindset to learn.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I feel it&#x2019;s the best traffic source.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at Facebook, people on average click on it 15 times a day, sometimes for just 30 seconds.
