Let's look at earning R10,000 from a US Dollar perspective. It is much easier to earn one dollar online than it is to earn R18 offline.

As I write this, R10,000 equals US$570. (Click the links in this section to see today's conversion.)

Example #1.

One sale of a $297 Clickfunnels subscription is worth a commission of US$118/month, which equals R2050 for an affiliate like you or me. (As I write this.) Just five subscriptions sold and you've reached that R10,000/month.

You might not be interested in sales funnels, but more than 140,000 people use this service for their businesses. (And they happily pay that $297 monthly subscription.)

That dollar income is much easier to reach than paying R7300/month over 17 years, increasing at each year's inflation. (If you earn at R500/hour - that's 15 hours/month over 17 years - equivalent to 3060 hours.)

I have one such sale going back five years (equalling 60 payments of $118 equalling R125000).

If you clicked on that Clickfunnels link (my affiliate link) you will notice that I do not have to do any selling at all. My job is simple: give the link to someone looking for that kind of solution. The merchant does all the work of selling.

You will notice that it is a long webpage. That design is on purpose. It was not designed for people not interested in sales funnels. It was designed for someone who desperately wants a sales funnel, and who has lots of questions that need answering.

Example #2.

Writing is a big part of my life. I use a software tool called Scrivener. It is superb but very complex. Joseph Michaels produced a course called Learn Scrivener Fast. I bought the course. He also offers an affiliate program that pays you 40% of any sale made to someone you sent to his page. (Depending on which edition they purchase, your commission ranges from US$50.80 to US$118.80. (That's from R890 to R2100.) This time it is a one-time purchase.

Your job is simple: Introduce the page to someone interested in solving their writing problem. The merchant's job is to produce the page and the process to close the sale.

You will notice that it is a long webpage. That design is on purpose. It was not designed for people not interested in learning about Scrivener It was designed for someone who desperately wants master the tool, but who faces lots of questions that need answering.

The Learn Scrivener Fast sales page is 91 A4 pages long. The last time I looked, that page (and all the previous versions) had sold around 27,000 courses. Our role as affiliates is just to send an interested person to that page.

You will work with me over the next twelve months. We will each assemble our unique version of an International Affiliate Marketing Platform.

Instead of working within the SA economy (the size of a small US city) with all the problems it faces, we can access stable, growing economies hundreds of times bigger than South Africa's. (And we can access all of them at the same time.)

This affiliate marketing approach is not a get-rich scheme. It is a fast growing industry already delivering 12 Billion US Dollars in sales. (2021)

This approach is a solid alternative to solving traditional retirement challenges for South African residents. Most of us small business owners do not yet have a quality income in place for our retirement. Many of us took significant steps back during the past 15 years. Setbacks beyond our control include COVID, ESKOM, and the 2008 banking fiasco.
