Here’s something different to kickstart your week…
Most Mondays I send you tips on focus, motivation, and productivity.
But today I want to share something brand new that I think could be a genuine gamechanger if you’ve ever thought about making money with affiliate marketing.
Let me explain…
Why affiliate marketing doesn’t work for most people
On paper, affiliate marketing should be one of the easiest ways to make money online.
The idea is simple:
- You find a product someone else has created.
- You recommend it to people who might find it useful.
- When they buy through your link, you get a commission.
Sounds straightforward, right?
But in practice, most people run into the same problems:
POOR QUALITY PRODUCTS
If you’ve looked at marketplaces like ClickBank, JVZoo, or WarriorPlus, you’ll know what I mean.
They’re stuffed with “get rich quick” promises, low-quality ebooks, or courses that overpromise and underdeliver. Promoting that kind of thing is not only awkward – it can damage your reputation.
TOO MUCH NOISE
These marketplaces feel like cluttered junkyards.
Thousands of random offers thrown together with no clear way to separate the good from the bad. It’s overwhelming.
CLOSED DOORS
On the flip side, when you do find a decent product, sometimes you can’t even get accepted into the affiliate program – or you need a big existing audience before they’ll approve you.
That shuts out beginners before they’ve even started.
PAYMENT HEADACHES
Even if you make sales, it’s not always smooth.
Some programs pay late, or only after you’ve hit a certain threshold.
Others are confusing to track.
No wonder so many people either give up or never get started at all.
Why This New Platform Feels Different
This is why I was so excited to see Russell Brunson (best known as the creator of ClickFunnels) launch his new platform: OfferLab.
Here’s what makes it stand out for me:
- Curated offers – Instead of a free-for-all, creators upload genuine offers and set fair commissions. Already, it feels a lot “cleaner” than the usual marketplaces.
- Simple setup – You can pick offers, grab your link, and start sharing right away. No jumping through hoops to be approved.
- Bundles that make sense – You can create what OfferLab calls “Collab Funnels,” where you group up to five complementary offers together and sell them in one smooth checkout. That’s never been this easy before.
- Automatic tracking and payments – Everything runs through Stripe. When sales are made, commissions are split and paid automatically. No chasing, no confusion.
- Free to join – You don’t pay a penny upfront. OfferLab only takes a small percentage when you actually make sales.
It’s early days, but the whole system feels fresh, uncluttered, and genuinely designed to make life easier for affiliates.
How You Could Get Started
If you’re new to affiliate marketing, don’t worry – you don’t need a huge website or big audience.
Here are some very simple ways to dip your toe in:
- Add a “recommended resource” in your emails – If you already send a newsletter (even to a small list), mention one of the products you’ve found in OfferLab. Keep it short: what it is, who it’s for, and why you think it’s useful.
- Share a link on social media – you don’t need to become an “influencer.” Just post a short note about how the product works or why you like it, and include your link. A casual, friendly recommendation works best.
- Create a quick review page – even a simple one-page site that explains what the product does and how people can benefit can help. OfferLab gives you the link — you just point people to it.
- Record a 2-minute video – use your phone to film a short video saying, “Here’s a tool I’ve found that could help with [problem]. Here’s how it works.” Then post it to Facebook or YouTube with your link.
- Offer a bonus – to stand out, add something of your own. For example a checklist you make in Word or Google Docs, a one-page PDF guide or a short audio note with tips. These don’t need to be complicated – just something small that makes people feel they’re getting extra value when they buy through you.
Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Check Out Offerlab
OfferLab is brand new – it literally launched last Thursday.
That means there’s not yet the flood of competition you’d find on older platforms. You can get in early, test out some offers, and start building while everything is fresh.
Even if you’re not ready to promote right away, it’s worth signing up now and having a look around. That way, as more offers are added, you’ll already be set up and ready to go.

Affiliate marketing has always had potential – but the biggest roadblock has been finding good products you actually want to promote.
OfferLab looks like it could finally solve that problem.
I’ve already joined and will be testing out various offers in the coming weeks and months and will report back from the trenches.
In the meantime, do take a look today and let me know what you think.
