Companies like REI, Amazon and Products are ordered and Columbia Sportswear offer affiliate accounts. A link on
your site would give someone website traffic or if they purchase something, money.
Your affiliate number is embedded in the link allowing a merchant site to track sales. The merchant is responsible for
stocking, transacting and shipping the merchandise.
3RD PARTY FULFILLMENT
Basically, you supply the goods, transact the sale and a 3rd party fulfillment service does the rest.
A fulfillment service is a third-party warehouse that prepares and ships your orders for you. Using a fulfillment service
is a great option if you don't want to have to deal with shipping, or if you’ve grown beyond your existing warehousing
capabilities to a point where you can't ship items manually anymore.
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
Compared to physical products, these digital items aren't tangible in nature; therefore, you'll host them on your site
and then notify the customer with some sort of file. Examples include: ebooks, maps, video, music, photographs,
exclusive podcasts.

The goal is to build your audience size with the right
group of followers so that you can market your TV show,
events, and your personal brand.
M A I N T A I N Y O U R S O C I A L V O I C E
Social media has a big part in that as the majority of
smartphone users check their devices at least 150 times
a day. This means your content has to be fresh and
exciting.
• Promote the show
• Post unexpected Tweets
• Giving a glimpse into your life
• Posting beautiful content
• Behind the scenes action
E N G A G E W I T H F O L L O W E R S
Audiences are coming to you to get a sneak peak into your
life, but also with the chance to interact or engage with
you. Engagement builds audiences and again, keeps
viewers coming back for more content
Y O U R S O C I A L M E D I A M I X
Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, Instagram for the majority of
you daily posts and interacting.
YouTube has the potential of being your
most profitable outlet and is included in the
social media mix, but has its own separate
strategy.

P H A S E O N E :
W H A T I S P A T R E O N ?
Patreon is a unique crowdfunding platform that helps
creators collect financial support from their fans. It’s a
virtual tip jar that makes it easy to support your favorite
artist. But here’s the best part: unlike other crowdfunding
sites that are set up to help supporters donate to a one-
time campaign, Patreon allows you to collect money from
your community on an ongoing basis.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fans can pledge to give as little as $1 every other week
or once a month. In return, those fans get access to more
great content, and in some cases, cool Patreon-
supporter-only paraphernalia, too.
Y O U R P A T R E O N S T R A T E G Y
Professional artists and creators should view themselves
as small businesses, and it’s risky for any business to be
too reliant on one source of revenue or too dependent on
one platform. So what’s the solution? Diversifying your
income streams.
YOUR UNIQUE & ORIGINAL CONTENT ON
YOUTUBE
• Companion content for Outside
• Product reviews
• “How to” segments
• “Getting started” segments
• Subscriptions and Memberships
