Most Practical Way To Make Money As A Beginner
Jan 27, 2026
By far the easiest way to make money as a beginner is to be an affiliate.
That means recommending other people’s products, and earning commissions when you get a sale.
You’re just a middleman between the product creator and the buyer.
Product creator — YOU — Buyer
Example:
If someone part of my Mastermind recommends the Mastermind to a friend, and they join, I pay them a 40% commission for bringing that person to me, which currently is around $2,400.
I’ve paid $100k+ in commissions.
They didn’t have to take care of customers, deal with fulfillment, payment processing or even close the sale.
They just did the referral and got the money in their PayPal account.
This is the first business model that I started with when I was on high school.
Later I started creating my own digital products when I had more experience, results and when I learned to market and sell.
I believe that, in general, there is more money to be made when you create your own products, but it takes more experience.
You gotta have a skill that’s good enough to sell, and you need to have a proven process.
You can’t just sell something crappy that doesn’t work.
Even after 10 years of being in this industry I still do affiliate marketing and I love it.
I’m an affiliate for several tools that I use to grow my business and I get paid both high ticket and recurring commissions every month.
From everything I’ve tested, there is nothing that feels more “passive” than recurring affiliate commissions.
It even feels a lot more “passive” than the monthly payments from rental properties.
Example:
Skool pays 40% recurring commissions for life when you refer someone to Skool.
I’ve referred 100+ people.
I’ve also referred hundreds of people to other tools like Kajabi, ActiveCampaign and Clickfunnels.
Everything starts to add up.
I do the work once and get paid every month, and I truly don’t have to lift a finger.
And the people I refer get massive value from these tools because it helps them grow their b business and make more money.
Win win.
My process over the years looked like this:
- Start as an affiliate
- Learn to market and sell online to generate commissions
- Created my own digital products
- Create my own affiliate program
- Continue recommending products as an affiliate and earn recurring commissions
