My name is Laura. I am so happy you are here! I am a wife to a union pipefitter and a mom to four girls, yes four!
I have been a stay at home mom for over 5 years now and I have dabbled in just about everything to make an extra income from home. I have been in direct sales for 6 years but a lot has changed in the last couple years and I needed an additional stream of income.
I needed something I could learn from home without putting my kids in day care. Something REAL. Something that was going to actually make a difference.

The Solution
A lot changed when I had my second daughter. Having two under 1.5 made certain tasks very difficult. I had to adapt and my online direct sales job was getting the back burner. I wasn’t able to keep up with my team or creating content like I was doing before. Plus the burnout happened and changed my views. I needed something that was more passive earning and alot less “hustling.”
After seeing several people talk about affiliate marketing and a friend of mine being so successful, I decided to jump in head first and take the 15 day challenge!
This training is unlike any other. It’s truly eye opening to a whole new world of possilble income!
What is
affiliate
marketing?
Someone is on their social media; scrolling Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, etc. looking for an easy and cheap meal for dinner. They type "easy dinner" in the search bar and a bunch of videos/content pops up. They find exactly the meal they're looking for and click the recipe. That recipe has an affiliate link for a product used in it. Every time someone finds that recipe and clicks it, that person gets paid.
Here is an example…
You can work from anywhere that has wifi and be paid even while you're not working.
Getting intrigued by now aren’t you???
Next steps…
Affiliate marketing is a low-cost, high return system in which you make money online.
You're essentially making an income for advertising someone else's product, courses, or services.
You don't have to have inventory, a service you provide, or an invention. You simply lead others to the solution to the problem they are already having.
You do this by sharing what you know in areas you know they're already looking.

find an affiliate program
Step two
Step three
Step four
Make sure it's the right affiliate program by checking these 3 requirements:
Apply to be an affiliate!!
This is exciting! Usually once you search the affiliate program and click on the one that interests you, it brings you directly to that affiliate information page. On that same page, there should be a link to apply to be an affiliate!
- They have low AND high ticket items.
- They agree to give you 30% commission every time someone purchases from your link.
- You want a cookie length of at least 30 days.
(a cookie tracks someone who used your link. If they opened the link but didn't come back for 15 days and then purchased what you were sharing, you would still earn that commission.)
Step five
Drive traffic to your link!
There are SO many ways to do this. Whether it's on a Tik Tok video, a Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook post, a Google ad or some other type of ad, or email..... you need to have traffic and clicks to make commission.
LET ME BE CLEAR, THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED FOLLOWERS!!
Then I knew I had to share this with others, and teach them these same skills so that THEY could find the same success online.

to answer any questions you have!
No question is a dumb one! I'm happy to help you get started.
I only wish I did sooner!
I used a proven system for all this. I had NO experience or prior knowledge that this even existed and I got everything set up in less than 10 days!!
A LOT faster than my four years of college and at just $7 it was also about $50,000 cheaper!!
Ask for suppoRt!
I started right where you are.
I was curious. I had no experience but I was eager to learn and so damn ready for change.. I followed someone on TikTok, I saw a 15 day course and on a whim, I signed up. In between school runs, cooking dinners, and all the laundry, I completed the $7 course. I felt empowered and knowledgeable and knew exactly what steps I needed to take.
I felt that the course and the community that came along with it equipped me with the knowledge to move forward. I began to move forward, educate myself, and launch my own sales funnels, email autoresponders, and content. The more I did, (about an hour a day) the more I felt my confidence increase.
