Wouldn’t it be great if all your Linkedin connections started working for you — without your having to pay them? In fact, they would work for you AND they would pay you!
I’m not kidding! In fact, this might be the MOST SERIOUS BLOG POST you’ll ever read about how to profitably leverage Linkedin so you can laugh all the way to the bank.
The secret is this: turn your connections into affiliates.
An affiliate is simply somebody who redirects traffic to your website or blog, so visitors can purchase and download a product. Every time a purchase is made, you earn 30% to 50% in commission as an affiliate.
I was puzzled as to why nobody on Linkedin is doing this, so I posted the question below on Linkedin Answers.
Anyways, to answer the question as to WHY you should turn your connections into affiliates, I’d say simply that it’s a great way to enable your connections to win financially while YOU also win.
The next question is, “What if you don’t have a product to sell?”
Then, create one. Just package your best knowledge into a 20-page ebook, and upload it on Payloadz. Then, email the purchase link to all your connections and promise them 30% in commission every time one of their connections buy your ebook.
I’ll write more later on to help you to capture your valuable knowledge into an ebook. It’s not hard, don’t worry.

Email signature as money-maker / passive income generator?
Every day, over a billion email messages are sent, yet 99.99999% of the people sending emails are not making money from it. I’ve always wondered “why not?”
I mean, if you’re emailing someone, then chances are, that person knows you and, to a certain degree, respects your opinion.
So isn’t this a great opportunity to promote a product or service that you believe in?
For example, you could have a personalized URL like PowerKnowledge.net/johnsmith, and on that page there would be products and services that you bought and would happily share with others (you get a 30% commission).
After all, the founders of Hotmail became millionaires (after being bought out by Microsoft) with this business model (where users email their friends, and these friends in turn open a new account at Hotmail, and so on and so forth until there was 30 million users within 30 months).
What are your thoughts on people using their email signature to generate passive income? Wouldn’t this be an amazing, effortless way for hard-working people to get an extra income? Thanks!
