Short spoken advice explaining affiliate marketing as a complementary, side revenue stream for creators — e.g., course creators recommending tools or books their students need so the creator earns affiliate commissions without making affiliate sales their primary business. Emphasizes choice of which products to recommend because many offer referral/affiliate programs.
You do affiliate marketing as a side revenue stream in your business instead of being your whole business, use affiliate marketing as a way to complement your core offer. For example, if you run an online course and you recommend software or books that genuinely help your students implement what you teach, those commissions add up without being your main hustle, right? You're going to recommend some tool for them to use so they can get the thing done, so you can make an affiliate commission on that recommendation. And you get to choose which product you want to recommend, because most products have some sort of referral or affiliate program.
