I started Matt McWilliams Consulting in the summer of 2011 with a vision of helping companies across the country (and globe) do what I have done for more than two decades of my life: Build intimate relationships with scale.
Since our humble beginnings (me working part-time on the side with one small business), we have grown to a small team helping businesses ranging from publicly-traded retail giants to thirty-person start-ups to part-time solopreneurs looking for a leg up in their marketing and customer relations.
Despite serving so many different-sized companies in numerous industries ranging from retail to education to financial services to B2B training, we are not for everyone. We are very picky about who we take on as a client. Our approach is very hands on, for us and for you. We’re going to get dirty…and so are you.
We bring my personal experience in online marketing spanning twenty-plus years. Here is a short list of awards I’ve personally won or my companies have won over the years.
Four-time Affiliate Manager of the Year
2007 Best in Business Award – Nashville Business Journal
Three-time Best Affiliate Program Award
2009 Most Improved Affiliate Program Award, Legacy Learning Systems
“…since Matt took over the program he has raised the bar and absolutely has done an amazing job.” -Brian Littleton, CEO of ShareASale
In short, we’re the best in the business and we can help you start or scale your affiliate program.

There are four ways we can work together.
1. Hire Us to Run Your Affiliate Program
Our agency has run affiliate programs for companies such as Adidas and Shutterfly, as well as entrepreneurs such as Michael Hyatt, Ray Edwards, Stu McLaren, Shane & Jocelyn Sams, Ryan Levesque, and many more. We’ve run huge product launches and helped launch a dozen bestselling books for people like Lewis Howes, Jeff Goins, Brian Tracy, and even my own book, Turn Your Passions Into Profits.
“Matt helped my company achieve its first $1M revenue year.” – Ray Edwards
There are many reasons why top entrepreneurs and companies trust us to run their affiliate programs, but the top four are:
1. Our team has a combined experience of more than 100 years in the affiliate management industry.
2. We have a database of more than 15,000 active affiliates. Not all of them are right for every program we manage, but we’re able to quickly ramp up programs with these contacts.
3. We integrate with your team. We’re not just a hired contractor or outside service. We fully integrate and act like a part of your team.
4. We get results. We have a proven track record of success from 4X-ing Michael Hyatt’s annual Best Year Ever launch to helping Ray Edwards have his first $1,000,000 year to helping Shutterfly grow from a $15M/year program to more than $300M in just three years.
“Our first public launch brought in close to 20,000 new leads and hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue – a result I just wouldn’t have been able to achieve without Matt’s plan. I heartily recommend Matt and his team to help any online business take their sales and exposure to the next level.” – Nick Stephenson

“Matt is a top notch affiliate manager. His efforts have been instrumental to HometownQuotes.com winning the 2007 Best in Business Award by the Nashville Business Journal. He is responsive, relationship-oriented (an important part of the affiliate marketing business), passionate and diligent. I highly recommend Matt to anyone who may be looking for an affiliate manager.”
-Geno Prussakov, Affiliate Manager, Author of Affiliate Management: An Hour a Day and A Practical Guide to Affiliate Marketing
2. Hire Me to Coach You
The absolute best way to learn from me is as a personal coaching client. I’ve not only coached the teams for Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Jeff Walker, and other top businesses, but I’ve coached entrepreneurs at all levels to take their affiliate programs to the next level.
My primary focus in coaching is to help entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale their affiliate program through our Your Affiliate Launch Coach (YALC) program although I do take on a limited number of clients to help with other areas of their entrepreneurial growth.
“I went to Matt for advice and ideas about the affiliate program I was managing at the time…it was one of the best professional decisions I’ve made. Matt was and is one of the most friendly people I’ve met and he goes the extra TEN miles to help you. Matt also tells it straight-forward and won’t sugar coat the truth. It is refreshing to have an honest person and brilliant mind like Matt in the marketing community. I look forward to working with him much more! – Patrick Vesperman, Senior Marketing Analyst, Target
If you’d like coaching in an area outside of YALC, please send an email to matt@mattmcwilliams.com or send a text to (260) 217-4619 with details on what areas you’d like coaching in.
