I am thinking about affiliates. Not for me, but I know over the next 2 to 3 weeks, everyone's going to get inundated with roundups and emails of my favorite tools, and they're probably just the best affiliate payouts for Black Friday sales. And I do, you know, I have like a open Wednesday slot in my newsletter, and there are a few tools I want to promote that I legitimately use in a sponsor spot. I also need to get in there. And I'm just, I want to figure out a way to do it differently and better. Like, it's not gonna be, it is going to be max four. sections, I think. The 3 affiliate tools that I like to use, and that will probably be Kit, ECAM, Live, Antella. Though I've got to think about that. And then I'll mention stellar sites, the sponsor of this podcast and my newsletter. And I just, I feel like I'm going to get a lot of unsubscribes. I think people are just kind of, you know, they're going to be inundated with this. But I think I need to find the right positioning, right? I've been talking about a lot about automation and tools, like tools is the thing I talk about. You know, this, it's not like I'm just coming at a left field talking about books and then all of a sudden it's a wall of affiliate links. It's like I talk about these tools regularly. So maybe I will do my 3 favorite Black Friday deals that have great zappier integration or something like that. Or the 3 great tools that also help me automate. I think that's probably the way to go. Um, but I do think, you know, I mean, I think it would be beneficial for me to do that from an income standpoint. But I also think it would be legitimately useful to people to, because I mean, I talk about my tools all the time. So it could be like, hey, I talk about these tools all the time. They're on sale right now. Use my affiliate link and I might get a kickback. So I think that's probably the route I'll go. Are you let me know. Are you doing something like this? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Um, You know, we're entering a time where I'm going to be at my desk less and less. And so I'm probably going to be doing voice notes more and more as I'm thinking about stuff. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. And, uh, you can write in over at streamlinedfeedback.com. But thanks so much for listening to this voice note. and I hope you have a good day.
