Why Every Author Should Be Using Affiliate Marketing

In this episode, Matt McWilliams discusses how to monetize a book using affiliate offers. He shares six strategies: recommending tools, offering extended studies, explaining how he learned specific skills, including casual mentions of affiliate products, using a bibliography or suggested reading list with affiliate links, and recommending products from others through interviews or quotes. He emphasizes the importance of disclosing affiliate relationships and directs listeners to the FTC for guidelines. Matt also promotes his upcoming episode with Chandler Bolt on writing, publishing, and selling books, and teases a future episode about the worst part of his business.
