In today’s digital age, the internet offers unparalleled opportunities to earn income from virtually anywhere in the world. One of the most accessible and “AI-resistant” forms of income comes through the art of recommendation, specifically in affiliate marketing and referrals. "AI-resistant" opportunities refer to tasks, jobs, or activities that aren't easily taken over by automation or artificial intelligence. These roles often need a unique human touch, or human interaction. This article explores how individuals, regardless of popularity or followers, can tap into these opportunities to earn more income today.

Defining the Basics
Before delving into the specifics, it's essential to understand the foundational terms:
- Recommendation: Suggesting a person, product, or service based on personal experience or knowledge.
- Affiliate Marketing: Earning a commission for promoting another company's products or services. This can be done simply by sharing a link or contact via email or direct message.
- Referral: Directing potential customers or clients to a business, often rewarded through referral programs that pay a commission.
I make it a habit to share opportunities that allow you to maximize your earnings beyond sales transactions or business deals. The Penny Holder, The Military Wallet, CouponFollow, Credit Karma, and Millennial Money are examples of companies that started with recommending, referring, and affiliate marketing. These companies have been acquired for millions of dollars. I personally met some of the founders and executives of these companies. It's fascinating to learn how powerful recommendations have enabled them to sell their companies for amounts ranging from $102.5 million to $7 billion over the past four years. Realizing this has motivated me to present these opportunities to you. You can start by earning hundreds of dollars and grow a business that can eventually be sold for multi-millions and even billions of dollars.

Affiliate Marketing: A Gateway to Global Earnings
Affiliate marketing is a lucrative field where individuals can earn by promoting products or services. Contrary to the restrictive nature of some affiliate programs that are restricted to U.S. residents only; the internet is teeming with global opportunities. For example, platforms like Amazon and TEMU offer internationally accessible affiliate programs, providing a wide array of products and services to recommend.
You might already possess skills in affiliate marketing without being aware of it. Have you ever used a product and liked it? Have you ever told someone about the product that you liked? If the answer is yes to both questions, you have already done the work of an affiliate marketer.

Beginning your journey as an official affiliate marketer means transforming into someone who earns income by sharing information.
The journey begins with simple steps:
1. Communicating with the intention to engage with people
2. Leveraging platforms such as social media, blogs, or websites
3. Connecting with people (engaging in other people’s social media posts and group chats) to find a match to the services or products that you wish to share

As a producer of several innovation-themed TV series for leading streaming services, I receive a daily influx of apps and AI solutions in my inbox. As technology advances, many useful tools are being developed for diverse roles. However, the essence of human connection, collaboration, and contribution remains irreplaceable by AI, particularly in the realms of high ticket sales. High ticket sales refer to the selling of premium products or services that are priced significantly higher than average. Individuals are more likely to act on advice given by humans they relate to or have grown familiar with. As technology continues to evolve, we're gathering insights on the most effective strategies to leverage AI, enhancing opportunities for individuals to boost their income and business revenue.
?Connecting people with the products and services they need is a powerful endeavor.
The Process
Starting as an affiliate marketer is straightforward. Look for affiliate links at the bottom of company websites where you frequently shop. After you get approved as a partner or affiliate, you will be informed of the process that they follow and the method that they will pay you per sale. Remember, sharing your personal experiences with their products can naturally lead to income for you as an affiliate marketing. The people you share with can be easily identified as coming from you as the source via link or other protocols set in place by the company. Keep a record of any code, link, or identifiable number given to you by the company.

Referrals: Earning Without Selling
Referrals in marketing offer a passive income stream without the need for active selling. Individuals with robust professional networks, especially on platforms like LinkedIn, can earn significant income by connecting businesspeople with marketing professionals. High-quality referrals can yield substantial earnings, with some individuals making over $100,000 USD annually.
How It Works
Referral earnings hinge on introducing people or businesses to verified marketing services that demonstrate tangible growth and success. This method is especially lucrative for those within the marketing and sales sectors, though it's accessible to anyone with a LinkedIn account and the right connections.
If you have 1000 professional connections in your network, you can earn referral income that may pay higher than your regular day job. With inflation and fluctuating economic markets, this is a welcome surprise for many people who have been struggling to pay their bills.
Straight referral income is my favorite opportunity to share because it does not require you creating a website or blog. By being a free LinkedIn member, you can ask various businesses for a contract to pay you for your referrals, and you can easily find professionals that are in need of marketing (and/ or other services) from around the world.

Maximizing Earnings
Both affiliate marketing and referrals represent viable paths to substantial income, for your potential earnings to exceed $100,000 USD annually. It is wise for you to seek the highest commission percentage with the best products or services that your connections may need. I have seen TEMU pay up to 30% commission on their products. Amazon’s affiliate program, known as Amazon Associates, pays commission rates ranging from 1% to 10%. ?There is a range of commissions that changes per category. For example, furniture may pay you 3%; while luxury beauty and Amazon coins can pay you 10%. I recommend that you work with high ticket priced items to maximize your earnings.
You can make the highest commissions by giving marketing referrals for companies on LinkedIn. The price for monthly marketing campaign packages typically ranges from $1000 to $30,000+ USD. The commission rates that I like to recommend give 15% commission for a simple introduction that leads to a sale. A minimum of $150 for an introduction that leads to a marketer, marketing agency, or PR firm gaining a client or customer, adds up over time.
I recommend that you refer people to services with contractual guarantees and the ability to cancel at any time. This gives your referral a level of comfort and the ability to experience a return on their investment by trying out a new marketing team or campaign. This comfort level can result in substantial recurring income, even for someone with fewer than 1000 professional connections. There are some companies that offer recurring referral payment if you bring them one person that becomes their client. There are also companies that I recommend that compliment marketing teams with unique offerings. Recommending products and services that add to existing marketing initiatives is an additional opportunity for another stream of income. Some of these complimentary offerings, guarantee an ROI (return on investment) or the client does not need to pay.

For those new to these fields, seeking mentorship and partnership with established professionals can lead to rapid growth and success. You don't need to be a "sales person", "influencer", or "negotiator," when you partner with people who can perform in those roles for you. You don't need to create an ecommerce website in order to earn a lot of money. With just a personal LinkedIn account, you can connect with professionals globally who require various products and services.
I recommend avoiding aggressive solicitation and spamming on social platforms. Respectful engagement in group discussions and with individuals’ posts eliminates the need for such tactics. Understanding the needs of your existing connections is always a wise approach.

Conclusion
Affiliate marketing and referrals provide income streams that are resistant to automation and AI job displacement. With platforms like Amazon, TEMU, and professional marketing networks, individuals can leverage their existing networks and skills to earn significant monthly income. You can earn income from the comfort of your home or any location with internet access. For those looking to dive into these opportunities, start with a trusted network, and explore platforms that offer generous commissions and referral fees. This is a key to your success.
If you would like to earn more income, it is a good time to explore the power of recommending people, products, and services.
