Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

My name is Spencer Mecham. In 2016 I first heard about an industry called affiliate marketing and in 2017 I founded Buildapreneur, an affiliate business.

Affiliate marketing is selling other people’s products instead of your own. When you get a sale, you split the profits with the company.

This business model appealed to me because I was very good at online marketing, learning algorithms, and making content go viral. But the idea of going out and starting a full-fledged business with products, support teams, investments, etc. just didn’t appeal to me.

Affiliate marketing requires 0 start-up costs. You simply start creating content and build up an audience. When the time is right, you can start promoting to that audience. All of this can be done over time, by yourself, without any initial investment.

Today my company is the top affiliate of multiple major affiliate programs. I’ve won multiple cars and done 6 and even 7 figures with various affiliate programs. My team consisted of only me until after the business had brought in more than $500,000 in profits.
