Have you ever wondered what happens after someone makes a purchase through an affiliate link? In many traditional affiliate programs, you earn a commission on a qualifying purchase, and that’s the end of that transaction. Residual Affiliate Marketing can work a little differently.
Some affiliate programs give you the opportunity to earn commissions from qualifying repeat purchases, subscriptions, or recurring memberships. If a customer continues to purchase a product or use a service, you may continue to earn commissions based on that program’s compensation plan and terms. Now you can probably see why the word “residual” matters.
So, where does the Performance Blogging System fit into all of this? Take a look at the overview below. It helps connect the pieces and gives you a better look at the system behind the marketing.
So, How Does Residual Affiliate Marketing Fit In?
The Performance Blogging System gives you a place to build, learn, and market online. But the system is only one part of the picture. You also need products and services to market and affiliate opportunities that connect your marketing activity to qualifying purchases and memberships.
That is where Residual Affiliate Marketing comes in. Through our online community, we are connected with affiliate partners that offer products, services, and membership opportunities we can market. Some of these affiliate partners use recurring models. When qualifying customers continue to purchase products or maintain eligible memberships, commissions continue based on each partner’s compensation plan and terms.
You are not limited to making one connection, earning one qualifying commission, and starting over from scratch every single time. With a recurring model, the opportunity continues when customers continue using the products or services they choose.
PBS gives you the system and marketing education. Our affiliate connections give you opportunities to put what you are learning into action.
More Than a System: The Support Behind Your PBS
Your Performance Blogging System is an important part of what you are building, but you are not simply handed a website and sent on your way. There is a whole lot more connected to it, especially as you begin learning how Residual Affiliate Marketing connects with your PBS:
- Instructor Training and Team Support: You have access to instructors and a support team that help you learn the system, understand the marketing process, and work through the questions that come up along the way.
- An Online Community: Our community helps keep you connected with training, updates, changes, and additional opportunities that work alongside your PBS. Online marketing continues to change, and staying connected matters.
- A Pay-It-Forward Approach: Training and support are built around people helping people learn. As you grow in your own knowledge and experience, you have the opportunity to help others coming behind you. That is part of how the community continues to grow.
This is one of the things I value most about the community. You can ask questions. You can keep learning. And you are surrounded by real people who are learning, building, and working through the process too.

Already communicating with someone from our community who sent you to this page? You are already registered, so go ahead and move to Step 2.
Step 2: Activate Your Performance Blogging System
You have learned what a Performance Blogging System is and how it connects with Residual Affiliate Marketing. Now you need a PBS of your own. This is where you stop looking at someone else’s online system and start building with your own.
Your PBS gives all that learning somewhere to go. Because let’s face it, collecting marketing knowledge without putting it to work is a little like buying a treadmill and using it to hang clothes. You technically own the equipment, but that was not exactly the plan. 😂
Choose the activation option that works best for you:
Once your activation is complete, your PBS setup begins.
Step 3: Get Ready for Training
Once your PBS is ready, the learning begins. It takes about 72 hours for your PBS to be set up and activated. During that time, you will be contacted by your instructor and training support team.
If 72 hours have passed and you have not been contacted, don’t sit there wondering if you fell through the cracks somewhere. Reach out to Instructor Support. You will find the current support numbers and contact information on our Instructor Support Page.
While you are waiting for your PBS to be completed, there is something important you can do. Start reading or listening to “Marketing Is Freedom.”
Marketing Is Freedom: A Required Training Tool
Our marketing training comes from Rory Ricord, the creator of the Performance Blogging System and author of Marketing Is Freedom. Rory has spent years teaching the marketing principles behind PBS, and his book is an important part of the training you are about to begin.
While you are waiting for your PBS to be completed, start reading or listening to Marketing Is Freedom. It is a required training tool within our community and helps explain the marketing concepts, thinking, and methods you will hear throughout your training.
You can find Marketing Is Freedom on Amazon and choose the available format that works best for you.
Now the Learning Begins
Once your PBS is ready and you are connected with your instructor and training team, you can start learning about Residual Affiliate Marketing and how everything works together. You are not expected to know it all on day one. Thank goodness, because that would be one very long day! 😂
Your training will walk you through PBS, Residual Affiliate Marketing, the marketing process, and the affiliate opportunities connected through our community and affiliate partners. You will also learn how to modify older pages and begin creating original content that reflects your own voice, interests, and direction.
We need to be clear here. This is not a get-rich-quick opportunity. Activating a PBS does not automatically create income. You have to put in the time, learn the process, create and improve content, market consistently, and apply what you are being taught. Outcomes vary. You cannot build something you never start, and quitting guarantees you will never see where your effort could have taken you.
You learn. You build. You market. Then you rinse and repeat. 😂 And you keep going. What you do with what you learn is up to you.
You Have Support Along the Way
Learning Residual Affiliate Marketing comes with questions, mistakes, and those occasional “What in the world did I just do?” moments. 😂 That is why the support behind our community matters. You have an instructor, a training team, and people who genuinely want to see you keep learning and moving forward.
You are cheered on as you learn, grow, and become better at what you do. The wonderful thing is, we are all working toward the same goal. We are learning, improving, and becoming better versions of ourselves along the way. No one arrives knowing everything. We learn from each other, share what we know, and keep growing together.
“Your journey is your own, but you do not have to walk it alone.”
