YouTube + Newsletter audience funnel to drive affiliate and course revenue
Use YouTube and a large email list as primary distribution to acquire an audience and convert them to affiliate purchases and course students.
Summary

Target customer
Pool and hot tub owners consuming video content and subscribing to a topical newsletter.
