For those of you working in the sex education field (or would like to), at some point you’re going to want to consider launching an Affiliate Program to reward your super fans and incentivize other people to promote your products and services world-wide! However, if you’re like Reid was, Affiliate Marketers might have left a bad taste in your mouth, or you worry about loosing your activist street-cred by being labeled a Capitalist sell-out, or somehow offending your fans by not offering everything for free.
Fortunately, over the last several years it’s become even easier for the sex positive community to leverage online commerce in our favor and do it in a way that reaches larger audience WHILE spreading our activism, our passion, and our integrity. For the past several years, Reid’s been studying and exploring various successful business models and applying them to sex education, teaching workshops, and making a living on-line. While field-testing and tinkering on his own career, Reid’s also been confronting his own fears and insecurities as a business owner. The result is that it’s time for Reid to share his resources and the advice and wisdom of some of his closest peers, mentors and friends. It’s time for Sexpert Affiliate Day!
