On the last episode of The Jody Maberry Show, Matt McWilliams joined us to talk about Affiliate Marketing. 

This week, Matt returns to ask me three questions. The questions are unfiltered, unprompted and whatever Matt wanted to ask. 

Here are Matt's questions; 

Best burger I have had?

Best burger is Capone's in Coeur d'Alene, ID. Matt was asking a loaded question here because Matt and I have eaten together at Capone's, and he knew how much I enjoyed the burger. More than I enjoy eating the burger, I like taking people there and dining with them when they try the unique burger for the first time. 

Best Fiction book I have read in the past few years?

Hands down the best fiction book I have read is To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't know it took me so long to read this book, but once I did, I read it twice because it was so good. 

The Bourne Identity has to get a mention, though. One line in that book made a big difference for me. "Rest is a weapon." That lined changed my viewpoint on sleep. Since then I have focused on getting more sleep. In turn, I get more and better work done. 

Most intimidating wildlife I have seen?

Although I have had a few encounters I could mention, with moose or a squirrel, the one that ranks at the top is a grizzly bear in Glacier National Park. During the encounter, there was a brief moment when I did not know what would happen or how it would turn out. In a situation like that, the rest of the world stops. All there is is the grizzly bear. 

Finally, I am on Instagram. If you want to connect with me there, you can find me at @sugarjmaberry.

Matt McWilliams has a mission to help 100,000 people make their first dollar online.

One area many people overlook to make money online is affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is a way to serve your audience and customers by putting products and services in front of them that you don't offer.  By finding a product that works for your customer, you can make sure there is not a gap in the progress or service of your customer. By recommending a product or a service, you get a piece of the sale.

Matt describes affiliate marketing as recommending a product enthusiastically.

Here is an example of affiliate marketing. Currently, I am reading the Go-Giver Influencer by Bob Burg and I am loving it. I like it so much I encourage you to click here to get the book. If you click the link and buy the book four things will happen; Bob Burg will get a sale. I will get a small percentage of the sale. You will get an excellent book. We all win.

Matt will explain how you can use affiliate marketing to serve your customers, build relationships, and make more money.

Matt and I were both featured in the book the Art of Work by Jeff Goins. Both Matt and I have a chapter that tells our story. Have you read the Art of Work yet?

Last episode we had a great conversation with Jevonnah Ellison. This episode, Jevonnah asks me three questions. 

Listen in to hear my answers to these questions from Lady J. 

What has been one of your greatest lessons learned as it relates to dealing with people and building solid relationships?

In a word, curiosity. Being curious enough to ask people questions, and truly be interested in the answer, is the first step in building a solid relationship. 

Tell me what happened as a park ranger that led you to become a business coach. 

My time as a bike patrol instructor for the International Police Mountain Bike Association is what eventually led to me becoming a business coach. Over 5 years, I taught bike patrol classes to park rangers and other law enforcement officers. Often, I would have to coach individuals to help them learn the proper skills. Being involved in someone else's success was rewarding. The skills I learned coaching law enforcement officers helped me coach people in podcasting, brand building, and business. 

Tell me about one of your favorite books and why. 

My Southern Journey by Rick Bragg is currently one of my favorite books. Since the beginning of 2017, I have listened to the audio version of the book 6 times. Read Bragg does a wonderful job narrating the book and I enjoy hearing his southern accent. But the book helps me explore the world of telling short stories. Rick Bragg inserts humor and entertainment in telling a short non-fiction story with a point.
