Day 1
Choose one audience
Define the people you already understand and the website/hosting problem they actually encounter.
Action: Use the starting-path or creator-fit tool.
Open the resource →Free Affiliate School
Seven days of useful work. No email gate.
Learn the DotMoose referral model as a web course you can complete without subscribing to anything. Optional email delivery can come later only after the production consent/unsubscribe system exists.
Day 2
Understand the referral model
Learn attribution, eligible commission, validation/reversal concepts, disclosure and why recurring does not mean guaranteed/passive.
Action: Read the FAQ and current program rules.
Open the resource →Day 3
Create one useful piece of content
Answer a real question through short-form, an article, tutorial, client recommendation or community answer.
Action: Use the script builder or templates.
Open the resource →Day 4
Learn enough hosting to recommend responsibly
Understand website count, storage, email, developer access and when shared hosting may not fit.
Action: Use the hosting plan finder.
Open the resource →Day 5
Build the referral path
Match audience -> problem -> content -> useful destination -> disclosed recommendation. A generic link by itself is not a referral path.
Action: Choose and name a campaign.
Open the resource →Day 6
Measure the right thing
Views and clicks are diagnostics. The production outcome is a legitimate paid referral that survives validation and remains a good-fit customer.
Action: Use the growth model and referral rescue flow.
Open the resource →Day 7
Repeat the best topic
Turn useful audience questions and the first legitimate signals into an adjacent content series or client workflow.
Action: Move into the first-10 / creator-sprint playbooks.
Open the resource →Email version gate
The course works without email first.
- Do not require email to access the lessons.
- If an optional email sequence is added, record the appropriate consent and purpose.
- Identify the sender and provide a working unsubscribe path.
- Honor suppression across future course/campaign sends.
- Do not convert a course subscription into unrelated marketing permission automatically.
After Day 7
Run a real first-referral experiment.
The course is preparation. The useful proof is a legitimate end-to-end referral path once production attribution is live.
