This is the process I went through to write my chapter for the new Affiliate BootCamp book...
\xa0
I actually didn't know that writing books would be part of the journey, but I\u2019m here to document my journey, so I have to tell you that\u2026
\xa0
\xa0When you start publishing a lot, people start to ask you to publish in other fashions as well
\xa0
\u2026 so, quite unexpectedly,\xa0 I've found myself writing A LOT of guest chapters in some REALLY cool books.
\xa0
So today, I want to show the process of how I write chapters for books.\xa0
\xa0
..honestly, I NEVER thought I\u2019d be giving book writing advice ;-)
\xa0
BOOK WRITING ADVICE, LARSEN STYLEE
\xa0
Now, some of you guys may have seen this in the past, but you might get new insights on:

\xa0
The chapter that I\u2019m gonna show you is for Russell Brunson's New Affiliate Bootcamp Program - which comes with a book.
\xa0
Russell had a ton of us write an answer to the question:
\xa0
How do you become a ClickFunnels Super Affiliate and make enough money that you can do kinda what you want to in 100 days?
\xa0
I was like, "Oh, that's a sweet prompt."\xa0
\xa0
I spent most of Christmas writing it\u2026
\xa0
I think you\u2019ll enjoy seeing the process\xa0 I use... 'cos I don't write crap, and it takes A LOT for me to write how I do.
\xa0
In fact, some people have reached out saying things like, "Stephen, you could do it faster than that!"\xa0
\xa0
I'm like, "Yeah maybe, but it might be way less cool!"\xa0
\xa0
WHY I LOVE AFFILIATE
\xa0
My first big money came from affiliate marketing
\xa0
I wanted to build a team and products when I was working at ClickFunnels, but I didn't have discretionary income or time\u2026
\xa0
Working at ClickFunnels is not a 9-to-5 job - \xa0it's way more than that.\xa0
\xa0
I was like, "How can I crap done when I still have an actual job?\u201d\xa0
\xa0
So I started droppin' out these cool little affiliate promos, and I'd make money, but I wouldn't take the money as profit\u2026
\xa0
\xa0I never take money from affiliate marketing as profit.\xa0
\xa0
I'd go in and dump it back into hiring a team or getting a piece of a product done\u2026
\xa0
I remember the first time I hired a coder to go in and code the first version of the blog for Sales Funnel Radio\u2026
\xa0
I ALWAYS used affiliate cash to build my business it was NEVER my own money.
\xa0
\xa0I don't ever use affiliate cash for profit, it's ALWAYS an accelerant to do expensive projects I've been waiting to do.\xa0
\xa0
So I want to share with you what I've been doing.\xa0
\xa0
So check this out\u2026
\xa0
I relaxed the first few days for Christmas, and then after that, I was like, "I have got to work,\u201d like, I can't not work.\xa0
\xa0
It's the same method and pattern that I use to write my own book, to come up with stuff for the 30-Days chapter that I wrote.\xa0
\xa0
METHOD IN MAY MADNESS?
\xa0
First of all...\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0(For 30-Days, I didn't draw a picture, it actually would have been easier to write.)
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
"Oh yeah, let's talk about that. Hmmm,\xa0 that's about that. So is this, so is this, so is this\u2026."\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 so it's a BIG process.
\xa0
\xa0I don't write crap.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
I wrote out it wants you to do it in 100 days, well 100 days is 14 weeks, so I said, "Well, this is what I'd do week by week."\xa0
It's an aggressive plan, but it's very similar to what I've actually pulled off.
\xa0
I almost felt like I was documenting - it's not so much theory because it\u2019s what I actually did...\xa0
\xa0
And I did most of it while working aggressively for somebody else -\xa0 so you guys can totally do this as well - it's the reason I wrote it that way...\xa0
\xa0
So I went through week by week\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
I literally went through week by week saying,\xa0 \u201cThis is what I'd do.\u201d\xa0
\xa0
What's fascinating to me, is that nowadays I feel like people forget... like, they build the funnel, they get the traffic, but then after that\u2026
\xa0
It's almost like we've forgotten or neglected what campaigns are.
\xa0
It\u2019s interesting that guys like Bill Glazer and Frank Kern talk about campaigns.\xa0
\xa0
Frank Kern just came out with a campaign-based book to teach this stuff -\xa0 I wonder if they've noticed the same things that I have?.\xa0
\xa0
I was careful to NOT just teach:
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 it's NOT that kinda stuff at all.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 it\u2019s basically a launch campaign and an evergreen campaign that will keep this going -\xa0 and that's what's so cool and super unique about this.
\xa0
It\u2019s leveraging the actual content that ClickFunnels has already created and proved works really, really well.
\xa0
It's a blend between what you see Russell and ClickFunnels doing, mixed with what I would do.\xa0
\xa0
So it's really cool, it's a HUGE shortcut to the whole game - I'm really pumped about it.\xa0
\xa0
FINDING YOUR \u2018WHO\u2019?
\xa0
The whole thing's start out by finding a money-prone 'who'.\xa0
\xa0
Think about this for a second\u2026
\xa0
\xa0If you go to the actual homepage of clickfunnels.com - on the right side, they\u2019ve got this cool new onboarding sequence for different industries, which asks if you\u2019re:
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
So you can choose, "Hey, I'm an agency/ freelancer/\xa0 e-com/ B2B,\u201d or whatever\u2026
\xa0
\xa0What I did, (and this might make some people feel a little uncomfortable or a little bit weird), but\u2026
\xa0
\xa0I went through each of the10 categories and crossed off the ones that I would NOT try to sell ClickFunnels to.\xa0
\xa0
Yeah, I know, and it's not to make anyone mad, and I'm not saying you can't, but remember the prompt is, \u201cHow would I retire in 100 days - just selling ClickFunnels accounts,\u201d and this is an intense prompt because obviously\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0For example:
\xa0
# B2B - I love selling people the B2B space, but sometimes there's a longer length of the sales -\xa0 just 'cos the deal and who you're dealing with - it can take a little bit longer to negotiate higher-ticket things.\xa0
\xa0
But I need 100 people, so I don't know if I'd go for the B2B space if I was going to do it in just 100 days. I'm NOT saying you can\u2019t do it -\xa0 I do sell to that space, and I do sell ClickFunnels to those spaces as well, but not in that time frame.
\xa0
# Network marketing\xa0 - sorry but that's NOT an area that I would go to because the cash flow for so long is not big enough to justify a $97-a-month thing, (even though 97 bucks a month is nothing compared to what ClickFunnels actually does).\xa0
\xa0
There are several categories that would be, "WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!\u201d to that price point...\xa0
\xa0
I don't want that kinda person.
\xa0
\xa0So at the beginning of the first week or two, I'm helping you figure out the 'who' that is money-prone enough\u2026
\xa0
\xa0(... their numbers that they deal with are big enough in their industry, and the sales come frequently enough)
\xa0
... so that it\u2019s easy for them to justify a $97/ 297-a-month subscription to ClickFunnels.\xa0
\xa0
After that, I help you come up with a unique offer.\xa0
\xa0
So think about this scenario\u2026
\xa0
YOU\u2019RE UNIQUE OFFER
\xa0
\xa0If somebody's gonna buy something like Funnel Hacks, or Funnel Builder Secrets, or if I'm a ClickFunnels affiliate selling ClickFunnels to a specific 'who' they need to be:
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
Hit all those buttons and... it's a short distance to the sale.\xa0
\xa0
Russell writes scripts to break and rebuild beliefs, but he can't break and rebuild all their false beliefs.\xa0
\xa0
So what if I was just to pull out the false beliefs he didn't solve; solve them with my own products... and then give that away as a bonus when they buy through my link.
\xa0
So that's part of what weeks two/ three/ four talk about, and I'll tell you how to do that as well.\xa0
\xa0
Weeks five/ six/ seven/ eight, we start getting into more campaigns, and of course, I'm gonna talk about publishing a little bit in the chapter I wrote...\xa0
\xa0
Publishing is a way of leveraging to get a list fast - so that you go and actually sell your dream customers ClickFunnels/ Funnel Hacks (or whatever)\u2026 and then give away your bonus when people buy through you.\xa0
\xa0
I would not ever sell ClickFunnels straight out - ClickFunnels doesn\u2019t even do that.\xa0
\xa0
I'm sure some other affiliates would disagree with me on that, and that's totally fine. It's just, for my personal strategy, I just wouldn't.
I never want to spend money without the immediate chance to reclaim the cash.\xa0
\xa0
...so because of that, I wanna promote a ClickFunnels product that cookies them, so they can get ClickFunnels from my affiliate link afterward.
\xa0
\xa0Does that make sense?\xa0
\xa0
...if this sounds Greek or whatever, you guys are gonna learn more about this in the actual chapter itself.\xa0
\xa0
SELF PUBLISHING YOUR WAY TO CASH
\xa0
I never put a dollar of my own in my businesses ever.\xa0
\xa0
How?\xa0
\xa0
Well, that's what you learn in my chapter as too ;-)\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
... but it's NOT challenging.\xa0
\xa0
The way I do it is to actually leverage what's already existing inside ClickFunnels.\xa0
\xa0
I've never written anything like this plan before... and I haven't seen anyone else do that either.\xa0
\xa0
MY SHAMELESS PITCH
\xa0
What I have for you now, is a special offer - check this out...\xa0
\xa0
It's gonna be a very light pitch, this is super easy to get, it's not an expensive thing at all\u2026
\xa0
\xa0But I want to do is bribe you to go get the New Affiliate Bootcamp through my link.
\xa0
I'll share with what you're gonna get - 'cos it's really powerful stuff\u2026
\xa0
The first thing you're gonna get when you buy the New Affiliate Bootcamp through my link\u2026
\xa0
\xa0Go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com -\xa0 Thank you, Trump!)
\xa0
\u2026 the first thing you're gonna see is a page that says, "Here's what you're gonna get from Russell\u2026
\xa0
*A TON OF VALUE*
\xa0
But then as you scroll down the page you\u2019ll see\u2026
\xa0
\u201cHere's what Stephen gonna give you," and this is the offer that's on the page\u2026
\xa0
\xa0So the first thing you're gonna get is:
\xa0
BONUS #1:
\xa0
\xa0
I pay A LOT of money for my team to go build those things, and I'm gonna give you guys that share funnel for FREE.
\xa0
All you have to do is sign up and Russell will say, "Hey, thanks for signing up for the free summit - you should join The One Funnel Away Challenge, so you can learn to set up all your affiliate stuff."\xa0
\xa0
(You don\u2019t just sign up for the Affiliate Bootcamp - you have to *actually go purchase* The One Funnel Away Challenge through my affiliate link\u2026
\xa0
https://media.giphy.com/media/fAoIpBeHpqsR9gMIUT/giphy.gif
\xa0
...then you get ALL these bonuses - which are super powerful.\xa0
\xa0
The next thing I'm gonna give you is\u2026
\xa0
BONUS #2:
\xa0
\xa0
It\u2019s a BIG chapter
\xa0
I spent most of Christmas writing that thing, and it's a HUGE.
\xa0
It took a long time to write that chapter.\xa0
\xa0
Read out loud, it's about an hour and 10 minutes!\xa0
\xa0
I loved writing the 30-Days chapter, but this one was even more near and dear to my heart because affiliate is where my first dollar came from.\xa0
\xa0
What you\u2019re learning in that chapter are true-and-tried principles.\xa0
\xa0
The reason why the audio chapter's cool is 'cos I give a lotta extra things that I couldn\u2019t fit in the written chapter.\xa0
\xa0
There\u2019s a lotta extra side commentary in there - it goes a little bit deeper and explains a few things more.
\xa0
\xa0I did get a few people who reached out and say, "Stephen, that was an intense chapter..."\xa0
\xa0
So, I was like, "I know, let me explain some more in the audiobook..." So that's why I did that, and it's already ready for you -\xa0 it's awesome.\xa0
\xa0
All these things are ready for you immediately.\xa0
\xa0
Anyway, the next thing I wanted to give you is
\xa0
BONUS #3:
\xa0
\xa0
I sent it to my funnel builder team to teach them what we're about to build, and so it's pretty awesome.
\xa0
I take my whiteboard and I draw out the funnel on camera to teach my team the funnel and what we're gonna do\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
I was never planning on this being part of the bonus, but I thought, "How cool would that be if you could actually see a little bit behind-the-scenes of how I actually do it?"\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 so you\u2019re gonna get that as well.\xa0
\xa0
It's a strategy video for my funnel team, but I'm actually just gonna go toss it out for you, so you can have it as well.
\xa0
I think it'll be really powerful for you to see how I actually handle all the funnel builds, and I'm gonna give you the chance to do that, a-right now - just go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com, and sign up there.\xa0
\xa0
The next thing I'm gonna give you\u2026
BONUS #4:
\xa0
I get asked to speak a lot -\xa0 at the time of filming and recording this, it's June, and I spoke every single week the whole month of May.\xa0
\xa0
I speak a lot now, and I'm really, really pumped about all the cool things coming down\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
It depends on the scenario, but most of the time I don't charge to speak - I'd rather sell while I'm there.\xa0
\xa0
So sometimes what I'll do is I'll say, "Hey, I\u2019ll come speak if you give me the video of my speech afterward."\xa0
It's not all the speeches I've ever given, but some choice ones that I've really loved doing, (especially of late), that we're just really on point, and gave people a lot of clarity.\xa0
\xa0
Some of the most famous little quips that I've come up with are in those speeches - and that's where I actually discovered a lot of them.\xa0
\xa0
So there\u2019s some major behind-the-scenes funnel-ology in these speeches.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 see all those boxes at the back of my office?
\xa0
I'm not a slob... we do what I tell you to do, we're doing it right now.\xa0
\xa0
That's what this stuff's for - \xa0that's what Coulton's been doing right over here...
\xa0
Literally right before I turned this video on, that's what he was doing with all these boxes over here.\xa0
\xa0
So\u2026
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
Well, I gave that whole speech and full strategy at Dream100 Con... and you guys get access to that speech.
\xa0
Dana is also comin' to speak at OfferMind, which I would love to have you guys come too.
\xa0
\xa0VIPs almost sold out, by the way, so go getcha ticket - we are super excited about that whole thing.\xa0
\xa0
Actually, I'm pretty sure, actually, I'm not allowed to say the next name. Hold it please! (anyway, back to speeches ;-))
\xa0
Billion Dollar Body - I absolutely love Amanda and Nicholas Bayerle - such an awesome couple, a model couple in my opinion. Super, super cool, down to earth.\xa0
\xa0
They have a very high-ticket group, and they asked to come in and speak in a high-mountain cabin, and you get that speech as well.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
And then, the last one that you get, as of right now, (I'm gonna keep adding as I go, 'cos I wanna collection of all the cool stage speeches I've done).\xa0
\xa0
But anyway, some of you guys might know Alison Prince. She is so cool - one of my favorites.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
She was at one of the original FHAT events that I was teaching and her business exploded after that - so fun, so fun.\xa0
\xa0
I\u2019ve had a chance to work with her quite a bit, and anyways I have mad respect for her. She's helped me personally a lot.
\xa0
Anyways, I got a chance to speak at her Clan Con event, and I love the speech that I gave there, \u201cHoly crap.\u201d\xa0
\xa0
(That was the one where I had food poisoning in the hotel the night before)
\xa0
All the speeches are available for you immediately.\xa0
\xa0
Now, once I teach you guys how to actually do this affiliate game and my strategy behind it, (which is the point of the chapter)...
\xa0
\xa0How do you actually launch your offer?\xa0
\xa0
BONUS #5:
\xa0
\xa0
I don't consider myself a professional affiliate at all.\xa0
\xa0

\xa0
\xa0

\xa0Haha - awesome episode, right!\xa0
\xa0
Hey, bear with me for just a moment while I tell you about makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com.
\xa0
Probably one of the most fragile phases of being an entrepreneur is that tender spot where you have just enough cash coming in to get excited, but expenses also increase a little while you take on new tools and new systems, new teams.
\xa0
It can be heart pounding, and frankly, nerve-wracking.
\xa0
Well, one of the ways I've kept ownership of my companies and NEVER picked up any debt or used any of our family finances to grow the business, was through affiliate marketing.
\xa0
My first dollar online actually came from affiliate marketing, ONLY a few years ago.
\xa0
So I often get asked the question:
\xa0
\u201cSteve, how can you have been bootstrapping this and scraping by so hard just a few years ago, but now have a business that makes millions in revenue?\u201d
\xa0
\u2026 that's a fair question.
\xa0
So besides having kick butt products, when I've needed to get some extra cash for an expensive project, I have a very specific method of affiliate marketing that gets me paid to sell other people's products.
\xa0
You wanna see how I do it? Just go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com.
\xa0
ClickFunnels actually wants to know how I've been doing this as well\u2026
\xa0
So I just wrote a chapter in ClickFunnels new book called Affiliate Bootcamp... and if you wanna see my chapter, and be shown how I treat affiliate cash in my business\u2026
\xa0
\u2026. just go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com
\xa0
\xa0You'll get a bunch of other cool stuff from me - like, the actual Make Affiliates Great Again Funnel\u2026
\xa0
The one you're gonna see there - it\u2019s pre-built - it\u2019s awesome - and you can download it.
\xa0
You also get my audio chapter on how I create affiliate offers.
You get the actual video of me training my team on how to build Make Affiliates Great Again - it's crazy valuable.
\xa0
Plus you also get several my other stage speeches.
\xa0
How I launched my affiliate offers\u2026
\xa0
And you'll even get a discount ticket to OfferMind\u2026 + the Make Affiliates Great Again Mini-Course\u2026
\xa0
Is it okay if I over deliver???
\xa0
If you want ALL that for free... plus other things, literally just sign up at makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com... and then, sign up for the New Affiliate Bootcamp through my affiliate link. Go figure.
\xa0
My friends, get rich, give back.
