SECRETS OUT:
Here’s the tea on how your favorite influencers are making six-figures online from just sharing about their favorite products.

Affiliate Marketing 101
THE TEA IS PIPING HOT.
(Let’s chat like friends on FaceTime.)
All your favorite content creators are making serious money (I’m talking high six-figures) affiliate marketing, and you might not even realize it. When your favorite content creator says “Link in bio.”, “It’s linked on my Amazon storefront.” or “Click here for the link.” that’s most likely affiliate marketing.
Basically, if you click their unique link and buy something, they get a percentage of the sale. It's a win-win: you discover cool products, and creators get rewarded for sharing them.
The good news? You can flip the script and do this too; it isn’t something special reserved only for big influencers. Newbies can get in on it too.

WHAT'S AFFILIATE MARKETING?
WHAT'S AFFILIATE MARKETING?
Affiliate marketing was something I didn’t understand for a long time. I heard the name and immediately thought it was an MLM, pyramid scheme, or some kind of get-rich-quick scheme. That isn’t the case at all.
Affiliate marketing is when you pick a company you know of and enjoy and sign up to be an affiliate for that company. Once approved, you get to share product links and earn a commission. Almost every large company you know of (and probably shop from) has affiliate programs. Here’s a short list of the companies with affiliate programs:
Amazon
Target
Walmart
Nordstrom
Sephora
and so many more..
All you have to do to get started is apply for their affiliate program, and once you’re approved, you’ll get access to a dashboard where you can search for your favorite products and generate personalized links. Then, you share those personalized links, and you earn a commission anytime someone buys from one of your links.
Here’s how I finally went from food stamps to a six-figure online business = Affiliate Marketing.
Hey, I’m Taylor
Let me use myself as an example. I am a normal non-influencer new mom in her late 20s from Florida who makes over $100,000 a year affiliate marketing while staying home with my baby.
Before I started affiliate marketing, I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of clocking in at a job I hated just so I could keep getting by.
Going to nursing school while managing the fryer and mopping spills wasn't exactly the dream, but hey, it almost paid the bills (thanks inflation!).
Every shift felt like an eternity, counting down the seconds until I could ditch the stinky and stained uniform.
Even outside of work, my life felt bleak. My credit card debt was stacking up fast. I struggled to make even the minimum payments each month. I felt like there was no way out.
I put up with all of it until I literally couldn’t anymore…
My job let me know that I was being laid off during the slow season.
They said I could return in the fall if I wanted.
Suddenly, I was dropped into the deep end of life, and it was time to sink or swim. I had to figure out how to keep getting by.
I already didn’t like my life but now I felt completely hopeless.
In an effort to try and think “positively”, I started to consider maybe I could turn this crap show into a good thing. Maybe I could figure out a way to make more money, and maybe even make it from home.
I turned to the internet to try and figure out how I could make that dream a reality. Pinterest showed me pin after pin about ways to make money from home but I was stuck in a paralysis. Everything felt overwhelming. Then one day I stumbled upon a blogger explaining how affiliate income was how she made money online without a large following.
I decided to go all in and try and build my own income online affiliate marketing.
The Start of My Affiliate Journey
The issue was that I had no clue what I was doing. I applied for affiliate programs after affiliate programs and heard a lot of “your application has been denied.” When I finally got approved for affiliate programs, I had absolutely no clue what to do with the links in order to actually make money. After all, I had no social media following, no email list, and no traffic on my blog.
Now this is the part of the story I get excited to tell.
After the slump of the summer, I ended up having to go back to work (BOO!), but I wasn’t ready to give up my dream of working for myself from home.
I knew it could still be my ticket out of that dead-end job I hated. So I added some digital marketing classes to my schedule and tried to learn EVERYTHING I could about how to grow my affiliate income online the right way.
One night, after a late-night cup of coffee, when I finally felt like I knew what I was doing, I put together a guide of the exact strategy I thought I should follow to start and grow my affiliate income.
It was based on my experience of failing at what I had tried so far everything I had learned from school and the helpful courses I had taken.
I was hopeful that this would finally be my big break but I wasn’t sure.
I spent the next few days executing the plan I had put together, and then what felt like MAGIC happened.
Like I had done every day before I opened the affiliate platform I had been using. I was used to it saying $0, but this time, when I opened it, it said I had made $330 dollars that day.
I think I might have screamed. I for sure ran in and got my husband to show him. That week I went on to make $ 3,190.
I thought it was a fluke at first, but then it started happening week after week.
Before I knew it I had made $107,265 that year affiliate marketing.
As a regular person without a huge social media following, tons of blog traffic.
LET ME, LET YOU IN ON SOMETHING.
You can actually do this too.
The truth is that I’m not special. This can be your story, too. Anyone can affiliate market; it isn’t a special industry for the elite; it’s something anyone can get into.
Are you tired of trading your time for a paycheck that is still definitely not enough to live your dream life?
Are you sick of seeing influencers spend their day's shopping, getting their nails done, and sipping coffee while you slave away at a job that is anything but Pinterest-perfect?
Are you tired of seeing content creators buy beautiful homes and get their dream cars while you sit on the sidelines, working way more than they do?
Don’t live like that anymore. Go out and build your own dream life.
I’ll even help you do it.
You can’t wait for the money to roll in; you’ve got to go get it.
If you want to make money online from home, you can’t wait for the stars to align and for the perfect opportunity to walk in the door because it isn’t going to happen. You’ve got to go out and make it happen.
When I started my blog, I thought it would be easy. I’d write about my life as a midwestern wife, post cute mid-size everyday outfits, and maybe a few home decor pictures. Then the money would just start rolling in, right? Wrong.
For months I wrote blog posts, made Pinterest pins, and uploaded Instagram photos to no avail. I was hustling for brand deals and putting ads in my content, but my earnings were still $0.00.
Then, I discovered affiliate marketing – a game-changer.
The truth is that relying on sponsorships and ads leaves your income completely in other people's hands.
and you don’t want to leave your online income in anyone else’s hands.
Imagine what it could look like instead: recommending products you genuinely love from any company and earning commissions every single time someone buys through your link.
That's the magic of affiliate marketing. It's a powerful way to turn your passion into profit. You get to be rewarded for recommending awesome stuff from established brands like Amazon, Target, and Walmart, your favorite to hidden gems stores and even small shops.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I’m Taylor
If you’ve made it this far you might be wondering who I am. I'm Taylor Stanford; I started my lifestyle blog a few years ago as a way to share what it's like to go to college out of state, affordable recipes, and everyday style.
I’m always down for a good Disney day. I love everything on the menu at Chick-fil-A, and I would find a reason to go to Target and TJ Maxx every day if I could. On a normal afternoon you’ll find me sipping iced coffee on the porch while my baby does tummy time with a sensory bin I got the idea for off Pinterest or TikTok.
I built this blog and planner business so that I could live the life I pinned to my Pinterest board. It took me years to get here but now I want to help you do the same without wasting nearly as much time as I did.
