We know how long it takes to build a really good training. So we built one for you. A complete 20-minute presentation on the power of private podcasts that drops straight into your existing course, membership, or program, with your affiliate link embedded so every new student becomes a potential referral.
What You'll Accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have:
✅ Requested and received the Hello Audio guest training
✅ Added the training to your course, membership, or program
✅ Embedded your affiliate link so every new student becomes a potential referral
✅ Set up an evergreen touchpoint that runs without ongoing content work
This takes about 10 minutes to set up and then runs evergreen.
Who This Training Is the Right Fit For
The guest training is a 20-minute presentation on the power of private podcasts. It works best when your audience would genuinely benefit from learning about Hello Audio, which means:
You have a course, membership, or group program
Your topic is digital products, marketing, tech and systems, content strategy, or something similar (audiences who'd benefit from understanding private podcasts)
You want an affiliate income stream that doesn't require constant new content
If your program is on a different topic (wellness, fitness, finance), the training may feel forced. That's fine; one of the other promotion approaches in How can I promote Hello Audio as an affiliate? will work better for you.
Step 1: Submit the Request Form
Tell the Hello Audio team how you're planning to use the training. The request form takes about 2 minutes and asks where you'll use it (which course, membership, or program), who your audience is, and how you plan to introduce it.
This isn't a heavy approval process; it's mostly a check that the training fits your audience and reaches the right kind of creator.
Step 2: Receive Your Training Assets
Once your request is approved, you'll get a folder with:
The 20-minute training video (ready to upload)
A transcript (for accessibility, captions, or repurposing)
An MP3 of the audio (so you can drop it into your own private podcast feed if you have one)
A private podcast subscribe link to share directly with your audience
Editable Canva slides if you want to record your own version with your branding
Pre-written intro blurbs to introduce the training to your students or members
The pre-written blurbs save you from writing context from scratch. Pick the one that fits your tone and audience.
Step 3: Add the Training to Your Course or Program
Upload the training video to wherever your existing content lives. The exact steps depend on your platform, but most course and membership tools work the same way:
Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific: add a new lesson and upload the video file (or use a video host like Vimeo or Wistia and embed)
Skool, Circle, Mighty Networks: post the training in a relevant module or category
Memberful, MemberPress (WordPress): add a new piece of restricted content with the video embedded
Notion-based courses: embed the video file or upload to Loom/Vimeo and embed the link
Use one of the pre-written intro blurbs from your folder so the training has context for your audience.
Step 4: Embed Your Affiliate Link
This is the step that connects the training to your affiliate dashboard. Place your affiliate link in at least one of these spots:
In the lesson description or notes below the video
In a follow-up email sent after they complete the training
As a CTA at the end of the video itself (mentioned verbally or as a slide overlay)
On the lesson page, below the video, with a brief context line ("If you want to set up your own private podcast, here's where to start: [your link]")
Multiple placements and reminders are better than one!
What Happens Next
Every student or member who watches the training and clicks your link becomes a potential referral. You'll see clicks and conversions in your FirstPromoter dashboard within a few weeks of going live, depending on how often new students enroll.
Bonus: Use the Training on Your Sales Page
You can also promote the guest training as a bonus resource on your own course or membership sales page. "Bonus: includes a 20-minute training on private podcasting from Hello Audio" makes your offer more valuable, attracts the kind of buyer who'd benefit from Hello Audio, and turns every new sale into a potential affiliate touchpoint.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
My request is taking longer than expected
Most requests are approved within a few days. If it's been longer than a week, email [email protected] with the email address you used on the form and the team can check on it.
My audience isn't a fit for the training topic
The training assumes the viewer is interested in (or could benefit from) understanding private podcasting. If your audience is service-side or consumer-side, the training will feel out of place. Use one of the other promotion paths in How can I promote Hello Audio as an affiliate? instead.
I'm not seeing referrals from my embedded training
Three common reasons:
The affiliate link isn't visible enough (move it to a more prominent placement)
Your audience isn't the right fit for Hello Audio (review the Who This Training Is For section above)
It's been less than a few weeks (early-stage tracking is noisy; give it 4-6 weeks before adjusting)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the training or add my own branded intro?
Yes. The Canva slides are editable, and you can record your own version using them. If you want to use the original video file but add your own intro segment before it, that's fine too. Just don't edit the core training content itself.
Can I use the MP3 in my own private podcast feed?
Yes. The MP3 is included specifically so you can drop it into your own Hello Audio feed if you have one. Your listeners get the training without leaving your podcast app.
Is there a fee to use the guest training?
No. The training is provided free to approved affiliates as part of the program.
Will the training be updated, and will I get the new version?
The training is occasionally updated when significant Hello Audio features change. Approved affiliates are notified when a new version is available. You're not required to swap to the new version, but it's recommended for accuracy.
If a student watches the training but doesn't sign up until weeks later, do I still get the commission?
Yes, as long as they sign up within the 90-day cookie window after clicking your affiliate link. The cookie tracks across sessions, so a student who clicks in week 1 and signs up in week 12 still credits to you.
