    How to Create an Affiliate Program Agreement

    Your affiliate program agreement is one of the most overlooked, but important parts of setting up an affiliate program. I've created affiliate terms and conditions for top affiliate programs like Shutterfly and Adidas and know what every affiliate program needs...and what to avoid. In this episode, I'll show you how to create legally sound contracts for your affiliate program and I'll share insider tips and real-world examples to guide you through the process. No need to be an attorney and you don't even need to know how to speak legalese. I'll break down the process into simple steps that anyone can follow.

Relevant & Accurate info from a TRUE expert

The Affiliate Guy podcast offers significant resources, accurate & timely information, coming from an expert in their field. Matt and his company work with the largest and most successful names in the industry, and Matt and his team also know how to help & support the small biz person and/or new/newer affiliate just starting down this affiliate path. Matt’s passion for his work comes thru with sincerity and authenticity, and The Affiliate Guy podcast is my go to podcast for all things related to affiliate marketing. Thanks to Matt & his team & congratulations on reaching 500 episodes!

I learn A LOT from this dude!

The Affiliate Guy is one of my favorite podcasts, certainly tops the most often listened to list. Why? I not only get actionable information (and not just on affiliate stuff, but business and even life in general), but Matt is also fun and exciting to listen to. When he has guests, they tend to be awesome, his book authors usually have great books for me (I'm currently reading "The Long Game" by Dorie Clark, and even if I didn't buy the book, his podcast episode with her was fantastic and I learned a few things I'm actually using), and yes, the content on affiliate marketing is great.
And I must really really like Matt's podcast because I think this is the first podcast review I've ever written.
