About two months ago, my internet marketing buddy Pat Flynn showed off the amazing results that he achieved on the P90X exercise program. While I was happy for Pat, my first reaction was "wow, is there an affiliate program for that?" LOL. I guess that makes me a die-hard internet marketer.
I did a quick search, and I could not find an "affiliate program" per se. It turns out that there are a few (below). But the lion's share of the marketing is done thorough a coaching program that is organized as multi-level marketing (MLM). Anytime I hear the words MLM in a sentence, I think "Amway" and run the other way. But that is not really fair, so I decided to dig deeper.
Luckily, I was able to find Amanda (actually, she found me). She agreed to help us all understand the MLM coaching program that allows you to sell (and profit from) the P90X phenomenon.

A few days ago I posted my very first Niche Site Duel update. For those of you that missed that one, I’m participating in the Niche Site Duel along with Pat Flynn at the Smart Passive Income Blog and Tyrone TyroneShum.com from . The point of the duel is to try and create a profitable niche website in plain view of our readers so that you can see the different techniques that are used.
You’ll recall that Pat is taking an organic SEO approach where he is trying to convert visitors to sales directly from copy. At least that is my short version of his approach. Tyrone, on the other hand, is taking an organic SEO approach where he is trying to capture leads to a list and will convert them later with copy. They have both agreed not to buy traffic. I am not buying traffic either, and I’m taking an approach more like Pat
In my case I’m outsourcing everything I possibly can.
In the last article I described all of the procedures that I went through to select a niche, find an affiliate offer, and get a website up and running. I used a quick and dirty approach. I didn’t spend a lot of time doing keyword research and I used as much rewritten PLR as possible so I could get the site up and running as quickly as I could. I strongly prefer using Pat’s method of careful thought and original content (Pat is THE man), but the point of this approach is to see what can be accomplished with outsourcing and a minimum amount of personal effort.
