We have been thinking about the Republican Party and how it can come backworthily, constructivelyafter the splits and shatterings of recent years. The GOP is relatively strong in the states but holds neither the White House, House nor Senate and in presidential elections struggles to win the popular vote. Entrenched power centers are arrayed against it, increasingly including corporate America. But parties have come back from worse. The Democrats came back from being on the wrong side in the Civil War.

Some thoughts here on Republicans and immigration.

From Pew Researchs findings on U.S. immigrants, published in August 2020: America has more immigrants than any other nation on earth. More than 40 million people living here were born in another country. According to the governments 2020 Current Population Survey, when you combine immigrants and their U.S.-born children the number adds up to 85.7 million. Pew estimates that most (77%) are here legally, including naturalized citizens. Almost a quarter are not.

Where are Americas immigrants from? Twenty-five percent, the largest group, are from Mexico, according to Pew. After that China at 6%, India just behind, the Philippines at 4%, El Salvador at 3%.

America hasnt had so many first- and second-generation Americans since the great European wave of the turn of the last century. The political party that embraces this reality, that becomes part of it, will win the future.

After the Republican Party suffered a surprising (well, to Republicans) defeat in the 2012 election, the Republican National Committee famously commissioned an autopsy that tried to analyze how the party had fallen short. It made a range of recommendations, but they were distilled by the headlines and the wishful thinking of certain party elites into a plan for the G.O.P. to win back the presidency mostly by shifting left on immigration.

Then, of course, Donald Trump came along and put that particular vision to the torch.

After Trump went down to his own defeat, it was clear that there wouldnt be a repeat of the autopsy. Not only because the last experience ended badly, but because Trumps narrative would not allow it: To publicly analyze what went wrong for Republicans in 2020 would be to concede that the incumbent president had somehow failed (impossible!), that Joe Bidens victory was totally legitimate (unlikely!) and that the party somehow might need to move on from Trump himself (unthinkable!).

But just because there hasnt been a formal reckoning, thick with focus groups and bullet points, doesnt mean that G.O.P. elites dont have a theory of how to fix their partys problems in time for the next presidential cycle. Its just that this time the theory is less a message than a man: Right now, the partys autopsy for 2020, and its not-Trump hopes for 2024, are made flesh in the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.

The proximate cause of the enthusiasm for DeSantis is his handling of the pandemic, and the medias attempted manhandling of him. When the Florida governor began reopening Florida last May, faster than some experts advised, he was cast as a feckless mini-Trump, the mayor from Jaws (complete with open, crowded beaches), the ultimate case study in Florida Man stupidity.

A year later, DeSantis is claiming vindication: His states Covid deaths per capita are slightly lower than the nations despite an aged and vulnerable population, his strategy of sealing off nursing homes while reopening schools for the fall looks like social and scientific wisdom, and his gubernatorial foils, the liberal governors cast as heroes by the press, have stumbled and fallen in various ways.

Meanwhile many media attacks on his governance have fizzled or boomeranged, most notably a 60 Minutes hit piece that claimed to have uncovered corruption in the states use of the Publix supermarket for its vaccination efforts but produced no smoking gun, conspicuously edited out much of DeSantiss rebuttal, and fell afoul of fact checkers. The governors public outrage in response was justified, but he must have been privately delighted, since theres nothing that boosts the standing of a Republican politician quite like being attacked deceptively or unsuccessfully by the press.

So DeSantis has a good narrative for the Covid era but his appeal as a post-Trump figure goes deeper than just the pandemic and its battles. The state he governs isnt just a test case for Covid policy. Its also been an object lesson in the adaptability of the Republican Party in the face of demographic trends that were supposed to spell its doom.

When the 2000 election famously came down to a statistical tie in Florida, many Democrats reasonably assumed that by 2020 they would be winning the state handily, thanks to its growing Hispanic population and generational turnover among Cuban-Americans, with an anti-Castro and right-wing older generation giving way to a more liberal younger one. But instead Floridas Democrats keep falling short of power, and the Republicans keep finding new ways to win, culminating in 2020, when the Trump-led G.O.P. made dramatic inroads with Hispanics in Miami-Dade County and took the state with relative ease.

DeSantiss career has been a distillation of this Florida-Republican adaptability. Born in Jacksonville, he went from being a double-Ivy Leaguer (Yale and Harvard Law) to a Tea Party congressman to a zealous Trump defender who won the presidents endorsement for his gubernatorial campaign. A steady march rightward, it would seem except that after winning an extremely narrow victory over Andrew Gillum in 2018, DeSantis then swung back to the center, with educational and environmental initiatives and African-American outreach that earned him 60 percent approval ratings in his first year in office.

Combine that moderate swing with the combative persona DeSantis has developed during the pandemic, and you can see a model for post-Trump Republicanism that might might be able to hold the partys base while broadening the G.O.P.s appeal. You can think of it as a series of careful two-steps. Raise teachers salaries while denouncing critical race theory and left-wing indoctrination. Spend money on conservation and climate change mitigation through a program that carefully doesnt mention climate change itself. Choose a Latina running mate while backing E-Verify laws. Welcome conflict with the press, but try to make sure youre on favorable ground.

This is not exactly the kind of Republicanism that the partys donor class wanted back in 2012: DeSantis is to their right on immigration and social issues, and arguably to their left on spending. But the trauma of Trumpism has taught the G.O.P. elite that some compromise with base politics is inevitable, and right now DeSantis seems like the safest version of that compromise Trump-y when necessary, but not Trump-y all the time.

Of course all of this means that he may soon attract the ire of a certain former president, who has zero interest in someone besides himself being the party front-runner for 2024. And the idea that a non-Trump front-runner could be anointed early and actually win seems at odds with everything weve seen from the G.O.P. recently.

Then, too, having the press as your constant foil and enemy isnt necessarily a plus if they manage to come up with something genuinely damaging. There is a resemblance between DeSantis and Chris Christie, who looked like a 2016 front-runner before certain difficulties involving a bridge intervened.

Still, if you were betting on someone who could theoretically run against Trump, mano a mano, and not simply get squashed, I would put DeSantis ahead of both the defeated Trump rivals (meaning Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz) and the loyal Trump subordinates (meaning Mike Pence or Nikki Haley). Not least because in a party that values performative masculinity, the Florida governors odd jock-nerd energy and prickly aggression are qualities Trump hasnt faced before.

The donor-class hope that Trump will simply fade away still seems nave. But the donors circling DeSantis at least seem to have learned one important lesson from 2016: If you want voters to say no to Donald Trump, you need to figure out, in a clear and early way, the candidate to whom you want them to say yes.

Five Republican senators introduced a bill on Wednesday to strip Major League Baseball of its immunity to antitrust law, saying the legal shield wasnt deserved after the league moved its All-Star game away from Georgia to protest a law that could make it harder to vote.

Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, Marsha Blackburn and Mike Lee introduced the bill in the Senate, Lee's office said in a statement. A version of the bill was also introduced in the House of Representatives by a group of Republican lawmakers.

"If Major League Baseball is going to act dishonestly and spread lies about Georgia's voting rights bill to favor one party against the other, they shouldn't expect to continue to receive special benefits from Congress," Cruz said in a statement, saying that MLB has enjoyed a special exemption from antitrust laws that other professional sports leagues do not.

MLB could not be reached immediately for comment.

MLB said earlier this month that it would move its All-Star Game out of Georgia to protest the states new voting restrictions.

Major League Baseball won exemption from the Sherman Antitrust Act under a 1922 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which determined that professional baseball is not interstate commerce, according to a 2019 article in the Wake Forest Law Review. MLB's exemption has protected the league in its exclusive contracts for airing home team games on local cable television networks, the article said.

Under a bill passed by Congress in 1998, the Curt Flood Act, MLB did, however, lose its antitrust exemption related to labor issues.

Other professional sports leagues enjoy more limited antitrust exemptions.

How To Get Started In Internet Marketing

For the more regular readers out there, this article might come as a little bit of a step back, since it is going to cover many different aspects of how Internet Marketing works, and many of you know these things already.

However, starting from this post, we are going to be publishing content aimed at filling in the knowledge gaps that our audience may have. It's our goal that by the end of the year, we'll have created content covering everything that you need to know about Internet Marketing, so you can have the confidence to take your first steps, and then gain the experience necessary to take you to the top.

This article is going to cover many things that you'll need to learn to succeed with IM, so even if you are one of the more advanced readers, you can use it to see how far you've come.

Internet Marketing itself is such a broad category, trying to describe all of it would be like trying to describe computing. Often times you'll hear Digital Marketing' used as well, but it's not quite the same thing. It'sa term used largely used by Marketing Agencies and although they have similar skill sets they goals of an agency and our own are vastly different.

So to keep this article short enough for you to actually finish reading it without getting through a whole bag of coffee beans, I'm going to first define what aspect of Internet Marketing I operate in and teach, and then explain from there.

The basic fact though is that Internet Marketing is the act of making money online. It can have many different aspects and faces. Offline businesses might engage in Internet Marketing as a means of boosting their sales. Even Obama used Internet Marketing via email to encourage his supporters to vote for him.

The area of Internet Marketing that you're going to learn about today, is what is known as affiliate marketing, or niche marketing.

In its purest form, affiliate marketing is the act of promoting other companies' products, and being paid a commission for doing so.

An example of this would be a site like The WireCutter, which promotes many different products on Amazon, and when a user clicks through a link from The WireCutter website, then buys a product they recommend from Amazon TWC receives a commission.

Most of the time though, affiliate marketers operate in a smaller, niche market. The Wire Cutter is a huge site, it covers many different topics, and has a huge amount of content.

Niche sites typically only cover a small sub-category, such as straight razor shaving, or dehumidifiers, or a certain type of office equipment.

It's much easier to succeed when you only focus on one small category like this, known as niche marketing. Without going into it too much, this is because Google prefers to rank sites which focus on one topic and appear to be experts. It's also easier for your site visitors to trust your recommendations, since you aren't trying to claim you know everything about everything.

From time to time, I get contacted by prospective customers, asking me for more details about the sites we sell. They want to know who handles shipping on the products that the sites promote. They ask questions about sourcing suppliers, and resale rights.

These are legit questions, but they aren't directly related to affiliate marketing.

The benefits of affiliate marketing are that you don't need to handle any products. You just recommend them. You don't even need to buy them first to review them, you can just do research and due diligence online.

Sites like Amazon provide so many user reviews, it's very easy for you to find out which products are worth recommending and which aren't.

This is why many beginners are attracted to affiliate marketing in the first place. It has a much lower barrier to entry than dropshipping, FBA, eCommerce, or other forms of Internet Marketing., and you don't have to worry about the logistics of dealing with customers, shipments, or even taking payments.

You are just paid to point people to the best products.

I have just finishing publishing an 8-part series where I walk you through the various trials and tribulations that one of my first Amazon sites experienced. Over the course of a couple of years, the site went from a bit of a failure, to earning me $10-15,000 per year. I ended up selling it in early 2016 for over $25,000.

If you'd like to follow along and see first hand how an affiliate makes money, click here to read the first post.

Also, if you're more an audio learner here's an episode of our podcast about the pros and cons of affiliate marketing.

The number one skill you need might surprise you. It's tenacity.

Being able to keep going on a project long enough to see success is one thing, and that's very important. However, the real reason you need tenacity is because for the first five to ten months of an affiliate site's life, it won't make a dime.

This is largely because of how the Google algorithm works and why you should start today. It takes time for your site to get to the top of the search engines, but when it does, you get a lot of site visitors, and those visitors earn you commissions.

Of course, you can get traffic from social media or paid advertising in the meantime, but the majority of an affiliate site's income comes from Google traffic.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen somebody quit because they weren't earning much after a year, and they thought it would take several more years before they got a decent income. In truth, all it takes is one uptick in your rankings, and income and traffic explodes.

If you don't understand these concepts yet, that's fine. Just rest assured that affiliate income happens in stages, not in a straight upward curve.

In terms of the more technical skills, web development has come a long way in the last ten years. Gone are the days where you need to learn code. I have personally built over a hundred sites and have never learned a single line of code. I can make the occasional tweak here and there, but that's about it.

Software like WordPress makes it so easy to build websites now. It's not quite drag and drop, but it's a powerful web builder and content manager. If you can learn how to use Microsoft Word or how to add attachments to Gmail, then I can't see any reason why you can't learn WordPress. It takes a bit of time, but it's straightforward enough.

You should also practice your writing skills. Writing IS very much a skill, and this means you can learn it, hone it, and perfect it.

The main thing you want to learn is how to write naturally. This isn't a university dissertation, and your website readers don't want to read one. They just want you to tell them which fishing rod to buy and why.

Even though you are most likely going to be operating in a niche, your potential income is unlimited. I am saying potential here of course, but there really is no limit.

The internet makes your reach global, and the economics of business are drastically different from an offline business.

Think about it this way, if every town in America only has 10 people interested in a certain topic, chances are, a business on that topic wouldn't do very well in any of those towns. However, when it comes to the Internet, all of those 10 people in all of those towns can suddenly become your customer.

See what I mean about potential?

Now I know you would prefer me to just give cold hard numbers, and I will. First I want to mention that everybody has different results, and your miles may very well vary.

There are people who make a few hundred to a few thousand dollars online from affiliate marketing, and there are people who make tens of thousands of dollars per month. There are even people like Pat Flynn who make over a hundred thousand per month.

The home page to SmartPassiveIncome.com Where Pat Flynn showcases his income reports.

Additionally, check this AuthorityHacker article to see how much other affiliate marketers earn (including yours truly).

While the people at the very top are naturally in the minority, there are more millionaires on the internet than anywhere else. Yes, there are also a lot of people pretending to be millionaires, when they are in fact scammers, but don't let that take away from the fact that you really can make a lot of money from affiliate marketing.

Hint: We research new niche ideas every month, and one of the things we do is calculate their top-end income potential. Check them out here and see if you'd like us to build one out for yourself.

Don't expect to become a millionaire overnight. It really does take hard work and the aforementioned tenacity to succeed, but you really can do it, and that's all that matters.

Affiliate marketing is the best way for beginners to get started making money online. It's also a good way for intermediate and veterans alike to scale their earnings.

While a lot of the business minds are still thinking on offline terms, other people are quietly getting on with making a small fortune online.

That said, just because the Internet is limitless in its potential, don't expect to be able to make money without putting a lot of effort into it. No money is earned without effort.

The great thing though, is that the Internet is somewhere that you can put effort into, and reap the rewards.
