The focus of today's course content was an introduction to the tools that we'll be using to build the business.
The first tool is a tracking tool to track all clicks and conversions. I like the data side of affiliate marketing. Being able to analyze where the traffic is coming from, what ads are performing the best, testing, finding what works and what doesn't and repeating when the formula is dialed in.
The recommended tool for link tracking is called Build Redirects.
The second tool is a funnel building software. The goal in affiliate marketing is not to simply marketing and selling recommended products, software and services. The initial goal is to build an email list. For as long as I can remember, the most successful online business builders always recommend this as their number one focus. BUILD AN EMAIL LIST.
The recommended product is Click Funnels. Click Funnels is a tool to start building an email list while simultaneously selling.
The third tool is an email marketing and automation platform. If Click Funnels is the way to capture emails, the email marketing platform is the way to set up an email campaign and set them out on auto pilot. As email addresses come into a funnel the emails in that specific campaign are set up to be sent out in order automatically. I like the automation aspect of affiliate marketing as I mentioned in a prior post.
The recommended product is GetResponse.
Of course there is a cost associate with these tools which breaks down as follow:

Of course there is a cost associate with these tools which breaks down as follow:
- Build Redirects $20/ month
- Click Funnels $97/month
- Get Response $15/month
The Partner With Anthony course is $7 per month for now but will drop off when I complete the program.
So my cost for being in business is currently $139 per month. Some of these products have 7 - 14 day free trials so I won't be incurring these costs right away, but something that I will have to make sure to budget for each month moving forward.
One step closer to freedom.
Lol what does it refer to in this case?
BTW, HackerNews was a huge influence on me with Adagia. Especially in the first build phase. I actually had to actively strive away from it since then.
