About Josée:
Josée is a former rural mail carrier turned multiple 6-figure affiliate
marketer. Over the last 5 years, she has refined her approach to
affiliate marketing to be as fast and efficient as possible. Now she
shares her Best Secrets with you.
The methods outlined in this book have been responsible for the most
important actionable information you need in order to be successful
with no B.S. My main goal was to produce a fail-proof affiliate
marketing blueprint, not just a guide or ebook. It's all broken down into
a step-by-step process that will guide you every step of the way.
Without it, you'll waste your time with spending months trying to figure
it all out guessing how to get your golden ticket into making a full-time

AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
income online without the cost or the hassle and then wondering
where it all went wrong.
With it, you'll eliminate all the guesswork and will never again waste
time or money in your pursuit towards Affiliate Marketing. I made it
impossible for you to fail! Use and enjoy!
It didn’t start out as smooth as I would have wanted to. I had huge
struggles, I had just been fired from my job as a mail carrier…

AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
I had bills piling up and needed money fast, so I tried everything in the
book, all those MLM (which I am not going to name here) B.S. and
scams that promise you the freedom, everybody is making $1,000 a day
and $100,000 monthly etc… I just want to let you know in advance, I
am not a guru, or am not in the get rich quick methods. I just make a
living online working from home, I don’t drive a fancy car, nor do I have
a mansion…. This is my story, I am being transparent and telling exactly
the way it is. First of all, if I did it, you can do it too.
I have tried everything, and never made any money at all, I struggled so
bad, I thought this business wasn’t for me, but do you want to know
where I was the most successful earning 💰 money online, well it’s with
Digital Info Products and Affiliate Marketing.

digital agency off the ground, and a few more. See the only problem I
had was my list of buyers were WP Theme lovers, they were not
interested in “how to create a course,” Why am I telling you this, well
it’s to make sure that you pick the right niche and stay within the same
niche. Don’t get me wrong creating and selling WP theme was an
awesome business and I did very successfully for a couple of years and
made multiple 6 figures with it for the past 5 years.
It is very important to have multiple streams of income and not have all
your eggs in the same basket. I did tons of research day and night to
work on a system that would give me money even if I was sick so I

AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
didn’t have to slave day and night. This is when I came up with this
system that would automate everything and bring me residual income
month after month. I made a business plan to focus on 1 platform and 1
product. I have perfected my system and I finally I understood what I
was supposed to do. I reversed engineer every guru, everyone that was
successful in my niche and finally it dawned on me what I was doing
wrong all these years. I had an epiphany and tons of HAHA moments.
Wow, I was shocked at what I was doing wrong all these years. What
finally opened my eyes was the OFA 30 day challenge.
8
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
It literally changed my life, it’s the best thing I could have done for my
business. It helped me to focus and showed me the right direction I
needed for my business. If you don’t know what the OFA 30 day
challenge is well it’s one funnel challenge (OFA), it shows you step by
step with coaches how to launch your first funnel from scratch. You are
probably saying “what” launching a funnel for your business is the most
important task that needs to be done when launching a business, it
doesn’t matter what niche you are in.
Here’s how it works: Each day of the One Funnel Away Challenge, you’ll
be given tasks that you’ll need to complete in order to get your funnel
built and LIVE. The Challenge Workbook acts as your companion to the
video training (Day 1 through Day 30). Inside your workbook, you’ll find
pages that correspond with EACH day of the Challenge. And you will get
to join the One funnel away VIP Facebook Group that will give you
videos every day showing you what to do. You are going to be Led by
Trainer Russell Brunson and Coaches Stephen Larsen and Julie Stoian,
the ‘One Funnel Away’ Challenge is designed to help you Customize and
IMPLEMENT your plan in just 30 days… And that is how I design my
business plan. I couldn’t believe everything they gave for $100 + You
are getting physical Products.

The first thing I am going to tell you is that you need to have the right

What Is Affiliate
Marketing
Affiliate marketing is action-based performance-based marketing.
Companies pay affiliate commissions based on referrals. This means
you can earn money by simply referring traffic (people) to their
company. It’s kind of like you become a freelance digital marketer.
Referrals are tracked through unique URL’s (links) that are assigned to
you as an affiliate. When someone clicks on your link and then makes a
purchase...You Earn A Commission.
Overview
1. You need to choose a niche: You must make sure that you are
passionate about this niche. The question you must ask, Is there a lot of
people in this niche. This is a good sign because that means it’s selling.
12
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
You need to ask yourself is this niche going to bring you the mola. Are
there buyers in this niche?
2. You need to choose an affiliate program, there are tons of online
that you can choose from, Legendary Marketer, Clickfunnels, Clickbank,
JVZoo, Warriorplus, Amazon,
4. You need to drive traffic. You want to have eyeballs on your sites.
Traffic is the fuel 🔥 of your online business.
5. ASSEMBLE THE MACHINE - This is the BIG Step..
13
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
The first thing I am going to tell you is that you need to have the right
mindset 🧠, and need to be a go-getter.
By the time you finish this blueprint - ebook you will know everything,
there is to know with the online digital world. I am going to tell you
exactly the way it is. And yes it’s going to be hard work but once you
14
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
do, the momentum kicks in and you will get the snowball effect and it
will get easier.
What I need from you is not a dabbler I want you to first take action
even if it’s not perfect. You have to start somewhere. You need to be all
in for this system to work. Too many people just consume and don’t
take action. I know because this is the way I taught it was supposed to
be... I had to learn, learn, learn..and learn some more. But what you
need to do is consume and implement it at the same time. You learn a
bit and then you apply or teach what you have learned. You need to put
in the effort and time. Time ⏳ is everything.
I want to show you the path to this new digital business and I want to
show you everything I know and I have learned over the last 8 years of
my online business.
The first thing is why??? What is your why?? Why do you want to start
a business? Do you want to quit the rat race? Do you want time
freedom? Is it because you want to be debt-free?? Do you want to quit
you J.O.B. Are you a stay at home mom. There are millions of other
reasons I’m sure. If this is what you want, you are in the right place.

I have tried so many businesses since I was young, I was in Amway, I did
the mail order thing, I did the eBay selling, selling t-shirts, tried so many
MLM.. bring your family or friends to meetings, lost a lot of friends..lol..
I just want to point out that this is not a get rich quick system, it’s not
going to happen overnight, you will actually have to put in some work
and work hard. You will need to be focused and consistent.
If I would lose it all tomorrow and had to restart again from scratch this
is the same system I would use. This is the best model out there that
give you long term results. And that is affiliate marketing, selling other
people's products and services but not from any company. I have a
couple of companies I do affiliate marketing for and they are the top in
the industry. The way it works is you get a commission for referrals. I

Affiliate marketing is first of all easy to get off the ground, don’t worry I
will show you step by step. It doesn't cost the price of a franchise in
millions, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. There is no risk on your
part, no office rent to pay, you do it in the comfort of your own home.
All you need is a laptop and wifi. You are going to need a few low-cost
tools to help you run this business. I will even show you how to start
with free organic marketing strategies that will get you results.
You don’t need any experience or techy skills.

For instance, let’s talk about a trend that took off a while back.
Intermittent Fasting. It seemed like everyone was talking about this
approach to weight loss. And since there is always plenty of money to
be made in the weight loss industry, perhaps this would be a good
niche. However, if you are not passionate about intermittent fasting
then it is going to be difficult to become a leader in the intermittent
fasting niche (more on why this is important in just a second) therefore,
you are most likely not going to see the success you had hoped for.

3 EVERGREEN NICHES
The 3 Evergreen Niches are the categories with the highest earning
potential. They are Health, Wealth and Love/Relationships.

🔑 And this is the key. Even though most affiliate marketing takes
place online, Money Still Comes From Other People.
The same can be true for couples looking to spice it up. Or parents who
are having trouble with their children (i.e. behavioral issues).

💡If you have a product in mind, one of the easiest ways to see if they
have an affiliate program is to scroll down to the bottom of their home
page. Often times this is where you will find a link to their affiliate sign
up page and commission structure.
POPULAR AFFILIATE
PROGRAMS
AMAZON
Many people do not realize that Amazon (that’s right, the world’s
largest eCommerce retailer) has an affiliate program.
As you can see in the United States version of their home page. Down
at the bottom, you will find the link to become an affiliate. Once again,
this is free to join. After approval, you have the opportunity to earn up

This allows the affiliate to more easily get customers into their partners’
pipeline. Once that first “Trip-Wire Offer” is set, that customer is then
attributed to your earnings for life. This means that if they purchase a
$2000 product 6 months from now, you still earn the $1000
commission (assuming a 50% commission structure.)
When you join an affiliate partner with a proven Value Ladder, you
leverage the capability and experience of professional marketers with a
sizeable advertising budget.
Let’s take a look at 2 programs you can start promoting today, that
have lucrative value ladders.
27
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
CLICKFUNNELS
ClickFunnels has numerous affiliate marketing opportunities, however,
in the following example you can see how giving a book away for free
can earn you $967 in total commissions.
As an affiliate, you simply promote the Dotcom Secrets book. This
book is a tremendous resource that you can feel great about
recommending. Plus it’s free (buyers simply have to pay for Shipping)
so it converts at a high rate. Then ClickFunnels will follow with upsells
and back end offers. All of which earn you a 20-40% commission. This
is without a doubt, one of the best ways for beginners to start earning
big commissions fast.
LEGENDARY MARKETER
Much like ClickFunnels, the Value Ladder put together by Legendary
Marketer has the potential to change the game very quickly. Let’s take
a quick look at the earning potential with Legendary Marketer:
As you can see, massive potential. If one of your referrals purchases a
ticket to the Entrepreneur Mastermind, that earns you a $4,800.00
commission.

Second: Earn While You Learn. You can absolutely hit the ground
running. As a matter of fact, in some cases, brand new affiliates are
able to implement the system and earn their first commissions in 15
days or less. And once you earn that first commission, that brings up
benefit #3…
32
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
However, if someone you know says “Oh my gosh. We went to this new
restaurant last night. It was so good, you have to go.” T hen there is
probably a high likelihood that you will try that restaurant out. The
restaurant's worth has been validated.
This is the exact same way Legendary Marketer works. If you can say
that you earned your first-ever dollar online with Legendary Marketer,
then other beginners are going to be highly likely to join Legendary
Marketer. And when they do, you earn another commission...and the
snowball effect kicks in.
33

PAID TRAFFIC
Paid traffic has two main advantages over organic traffic. Paid traffic is
fast and controllable. If you have an offer that you wish to promote on
Facebook, simply pay for the advertising and choose your target
market. You can almost instantly get your offer in front of as many
people as your budget will allow. If a campaign is profitable, scale-up.
If not, turn it off.
In reality, paid traffic only works for the best affiliate marketers. And
there is a perfectly logical reason for this. Advertising is sold on an
auction basis (meaning the space goes to the highest bidder) and
everyone has access to the same affiliate products. So in theory, the
profit margins will always go to zero. Only those with complex funnels
& systems will earn the competitive advantage necessary to make this
model profitable.
35
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
If you are selling a product where you take the payments, then you
receive that money almost instantly. Let’s say that today you spend
$100 on ads to make $200 back. That means tomorrow you can spend
$200 to make $400...etc.
ORGANIC TRAFFIC
You may have heard of a number of ways you can generate free organic
traffic. Instagram and blogging are two examples of ways people make
money with affiliate marketing using organic traffic. However, hands
down, the three best organic traffic sources are…
● YouTube
● Facebook Groups
36
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
● Quora
37
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
When you boil it down, YouTube only cares about user experience and
watch time. They don’t play favorites. This can benefit you because as
long as you upload consistent content, YouTube will work hard to find
your audience for you.
Think of it like this. Let’s say you and I both are good at making
Cupcakes. As a matter of fact, if we each made a batch of 12 cupcakes
and put them to a group for a blind taste test, there would be no clear
winner. It’s safe to say we are equal in our ability to make cupcakes.
Yet in that blind taste test, 6 people would prefer your cupcakes. And
the other 6 would prefer my cupcakes. Neither one is necessarily
better, it just comes down to a matter of preference. This is exactly
how YouTube works. Your audience is out there waiting for your
unique view and approach.
38
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
The best strategy for growing your YouTube channel fast is to either
educate or motivate. Both strategies crush it in affiliate marketing.
Let’s look at 2 specific examples.
39
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
The best Free traffic you can have is building an email list. I will show
you and even give you templates, landing page so you can start building
your list. Like they say the money is in the list, not sure if you have
heard this expression. This is the best source of passive income ever.
You control your list and can send them an email whenever you want
with a product offer and earn money selling them an offer. Statistics
say that for every email subscriber you have, you can earn $1 from
them per month, so let's say you have an email list of 10,000 that
would mean at least $10,000 you could earn monthly. But keep in mind
that you have to at least send promotions and offers to your list and
make sure that you constantly give them value. So kind of 3 days of
value and then do a soft pitch… a couple of days of value then pitch
again. Don’t pitch every day. Give them value and value and more
value…You will be able to market to this list forever unless they
unsubscribed to you. This is the best free traffic that you can control
and this is why the first thing you need to do is build your list. Don’t
worry I will give you a done for you system and templates that you can
use. I will show you and teach you how to do it the right way. Not a lot
of marketers show you the exact steps on how to do it. Some forget
tiny things to show you which in the end doesn’t give you results.
40
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
In the marketing world, the traffic that you don’t control, like FB,
Youtube videos, SEO, blogs, this comes from organic traffic, from your
ranking videos on youtube. The second one is the traffic that you
control, it comes from facebook ads, youtube ads, any paid ads that
you are paying for leads, conversion. But the best traffic that you can
control and have full control is your list, people you have collected their
names from landing pages in exchange for a mini-course or ebook. This
is the best traffic that you can ever get.
So you want to take this traffic and bring it to your landing page or
bridge page, which is going to be a low cost offer, could be $7. What
you want to achieve here is that you want to collect these leads and
41
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
then send them to a lower-cost offer and if they buy from you, you are
going to break even with your funnel, you can always add an OTO also
known as an upsell in this funnel. This is called a break-even funnel.
When they optin your list and put their email address, they are now a
subscriber and you can market to them with higher tickets. This is why
they say the money is in the list. This is your biggest asset as an online
marketer because you will be able to sell them over and over again.
See the key 🔑 here is to break even with that funnel so it pays for your
advertising.
Then simply nurture that list, this new subscribers with email sequence,
giving them value and into higher ticket offers.
Once you have a subscribers email address you are always going to
have them on your list and that is free customer and traffic for life,
unless they unsubscribed from your list.
This email list is yours, you own it, that is the beauty of it, it will reward
you for years to come.
42
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
Email marketing model is the best lucrative result one can have. Email
simply grows your business.
43
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
You have most likely seen this same formula or pattern repeated
thousands of times, even if you haven’t yet realized it. The initial value
builds your audience. Take for instance the YouTube & ClickFunnels
examples we discussed earlier. You could build up your YouTube
channel by offering mini-tutorials for beginners. Using a free tool like
Keywordtool.io you can see what questions people are actually asking.
44
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
Another great free tool I like to use is answerthepublic.com. You
simply enter your keyword in the search bar & he’ll suggest
content ideas in seconds… And questions too, this is an advantage
to create content for your blog, youtube and much more. It’s a
Free and cool search query data visualization tool.
It fetches and maps keyword suggestions/predictions that you see
when you perform a Google search. Find out what questions and
queries your consumers have by getting a free report of what
they're searching for in Google.
45

I use vidIQ a
lso, It helps with keywords, SEO and ranks your
youtube video organically. The v
idIQ Score helps judge the
likelihood of a video being promoted in Related Videos, Search,
and Recommended Videos. Discover Success on YouTube is about
more than just views — Vision keeps you focused on the metrics
that matter. It helps you Optimize and Use what you learn to drive
better decision making for your own content. I also recommend
installing the Chrome app extension.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Affiliate marketing is a real opportunity. And I believe it is about to go
mainstream. As advertising costs continue to increase, I believe more
businesses will rely on affiliate marketing as a way to control their
marketing budgets. One of my favorite quotes is by Bo Bennet…
47
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
Because it’s true. The very nature of affiliate marketing allows ordinary
people like me to partner with huge companies and leverage their
systems. For this reason, an affiliate marketing business is easy to start,
yet it has the potential to scale well into the 7 figure range.
🏃♂If you are ready to hit the ground running, yet aren’t sure which
direction to step first, then keep one thing in mind. The most money is
in the “Wealth” niche. Marketing or “starting an online business”
represent huge earning opportunities. If you are interested in this
potential, I recommend starting with one of the two avenues below.
48
AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM
I think the 15 Day Challenge is the best for beginners, as it provides the
most guidance. However, both opportunities represent amazing
opportunities right now. Why not try both? Thanks for reading. I hope
you found value. Now go out there and crush it!!
