“Organic reach is so important because the impression you get when someone comes directly to your page is a much more qualified lead and potentially a more valuable customer than someone you got through an ad buy.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

Affiliate Marketing is defined as performance based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.

Who is Rio The Affiliate Marketer?

I’m from the Bay Area, Northern California. My background is in the medical field and history of sales background as well. I’ve done inside sales, outside sales, retail you name it. I also have been head of promotion and marketing for a lifestyle brand me and my brothers ran back in the day. After the sales life I switched careers and went to respiratory therapy school. I did that full time for two somewhat years and then found investing and affiliate marketing. Nine months into affiliate marketing I was able to quit my full time job and push my personal brand and value my time. Currently I push my personal brand Brick Gems, I’m a content creator, digital marketer and just a hustler. I’m here to help other hustlers as well find their way in what they wanna do and get out of the rat race. I feel that’s my purpose my now.

Why do you believe affiliate marketing is lucrative?

If you do it correctly affiliate marketing is very powerful. My course breaks down the blueprint and effective ways to market and sell. You eventually put pieces in place to where it can work while you’re not working at it. My first month was $240 in December. Every month after that has been $1000 plus. Just picture yourself as a digital store and you offer value, whether its learning how to invest or make extra money, that market will always be there. Everyone wants and needs information on making money and making our money work for you, so that’s why I think affiliate marketing is very lucrative. We help people and make money. 

Why did you get involved with affiliate marketing?

I originally got involved just to make some extra bucks. Little did I know that it would turn into my purpose and turn into basically my personal brand. The impact we have on helping others is huge and fulfilling. There’s nothing better in the world than helping people and on top of that getting paid to do it.

What inspired you to create your podcast?

My podcast was inspired by Jay Shetty. He has a podcast on purpose and its my favorite podcast. I wanted to have that similar feel and tell peoples stories on how they came up from their upbringing to where they are now. My goal was to share their story and at the same time inspire folks who tune in. Inspiration is the highest human act and most of the times it just takes one spark to get someone going to change their life. It did for me.
