A couple months ago I decided to do something scary. I decided to ask a few really smart people to audit our current strategies across the business, critique them, and give advice on what we could be doing better in a recorded coaching call.

This is the second episode in the series I’m calling Make Me Feel Dumb.

In this episode, I invited Michelle Schroeder (Making Sense of Cents) onto the podcast to talk about how to make $5k/month in blog revenue. Michelle teaches Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing, the course that has helped us take our affiliate income from $20/month to thousands of dollars a month (and growing!). Michelle has given us an exclusive $28 discount on the course when you use the code RVENTREPRENEUR at check out.

A few other things we cover in this episode:

• Why you need a free opt-in for your email list (and how to use that to drive affiliate revenue)
• How much Michelle spends on FB ads to get 100 new email subscribers per day
• Why you should be using Pinterest to get traffic to your website
• How much you can make from display ads on your website
• The wrong way to do affiliate marketing
