Hey, John Crestani here. And I'm going to be going over with you today. 7 reasons
why should start doing affiliate marketing. Literally right now. When right
now is the best time to get started. Besides the money you can make,
think with affiliate marketing of why to get started and just how easy it is to do this business model. Let's go.
Whoo-hoo! Here's doing
affiliate marketing. First off, let me know in the comments if you've been
doing affiliate marketing and trying out this business model. It's what I do for a
living. I make millions of dollars per year doing this business model. Now, I
already wrote up the first reason why he should start doing affiliate marketing
now. And the reason is, is because you're doing it already, okay? What you have to
understand is you're already recommending products to people or
recommending somebody say, "Get this book. You need to listen to this
podcast or go to this movie or try out this new blender or food." You're already
telling people things every day, okay? So, why not make money from the product
recommendations you're already doing? Right? It makes no sense that you are
helping grow other people's businesses. But you are not getting any money for it.
And for those of you who don't know what affiliate marketing is, affiliate
marketing is it's putting up a link to a product. It's whenever you recommend a
product you give somebody a link and you get paid if they end up buying that
product or whatever it is. Going to that movie or you know getting a book, etc. So,
you're doing it already. Get paid for it. Now, the second reason why to get started
in affiliate marketing is it's... It's freaking easy. You're already posting
links. You're already posting on social media. You're already writing emails.
You're already communicating with people. So, it's just very easy to just sign up
for an affiliate Network. There's lots of affiliate networks you can
sign up for. In the description, there is a number of affiliate networks that you
can sign up for right now. So, you want to get started making money from your
recommendations. Join the affiliate networks in my description. Join them all.
Because you'll get more products to recommend. So, I remember when I got
started and I was I was sitting in college in marketing class. I was at
Southern Methodist University out in Dallas. And I was listening to the
professor and they're talking about something along the lines of you know,
color theory and magazines and like what colors pop in a magazine ad. And I just
was sitting in class and I looked around the classroom and I noticed almost
everybody was on their phones. And you know, they're... People you know, they hold
their phones below their desk and I just look around everybody's just on Facebook
or texting or something like that. And I remember thinking to myself I'm like, "I
was trying to justify why this college experience was was important?" And
I was thinking to myself, "Well, you know what? They're not paying attention.
They're not getting the knowledge. But you know, this is useful information. But
more I thought about the more I realized I said, "This isn't... the only way you can
make money doing magazine ads as if you work for a big ad agency." And how that
was... You know in getting a job for a big ad agency. And I remember thinking, "That's
such a bad... You know, bad way to do things. I don't want a job. I want to learn
marketing so I can make money. And I saw all these people on Facebook and I
thought why are... "Why are we not learning how to do Facebook? Why are we not
learning how to market on Facebook or snapchat or Twitter?" And it just you know,
something clicked for me and I was just I I lost interest in college and I said,
"This is stupid. Why am I learning... I'm just learning how
to work for somebody in a job? When I should be learning real marketing? How to
really reach people the way they're already using media." The
marketing they're already engaging with, nobody's reading magazines. Nobody reads
magazines anymore. And that just made sense to me. And at
that point, I kind of dedicated myself and I was like,
"I'm going to figure this out on my own I'm not going to..." You know.. And I realized that
college wasn't gonna teach me how to learn. Now, in this channel, I go over you
know, I tried I try to kind of give you that education that I never had. You know,
keep that in mind. So, make sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell
and also like this video. If you know, if you had a similar experience and if
you're looking to just self educate yourself. You know, make yourself better.
Investing in yourself, investing in your brain investing in your skills and your
knowledge is the most important thing you can do. You can never go wrong
investing in yourself. Now, the third reason to start affiliate marketing is
it is cheap, okay? You can do this. It's cheap or free, okay? It is by far the
easiest way to reach people. As I said, you can post links yourself. You can go
on your Facebook. You can go on Twitter. You can go on all of these
sites you're already using and use them to market to people. Now, what's the
alternative, right? If you want to sell products, if you want to start a business
is you have to go and meet people person a person. You have to actually talk to
people or going in networking events or go to conferences or go to conventions.
And going places cost a lot of money and it caught takes a lot of time. And you
might not want to speak in front of people and say, "Hey, Walter. Let me tell
you about how great of a product it is and why you should do business with me."
You probably don't want to do that. So, it's so much easier and more effective
to market online to start your business. It just makes sense. Now, the fourth
reason to get started in affiliate marketing is there is not a lot of
competition. Now, look at the number of video views on this channel. You know, the
biggest affiliate marketing channels only have a couple hundred thousand
subscribers whereas people trying to learn how to motivate themselves or work
a job or go to school or do anything else. Millions of people watch those
sales or whatever. Marketing is very unsaturated. In fact, I teach a lot of methods
on my channel. I encourage you to act please subscribe and watch my playlist.
I'm going to have my Filipinos put it up somewhere about free traffic methods in
this playlist in this series of videos, I expose a lot of different ways you can
get free traffic using social networks and other sorts of websites online. But I
see it all day long. And I try to expose these things to help you grow your
business and also helped me grow mine because we're working together here. Now,
people understand how to post an ad on Facebook. I think a lot of people talked
about that but what people don't understand is Facebook group marketing
or LinkedIn marketing. Or using a vent bright to get your links out. Or
meetup.com to get your links out. Using deviantART to get your links out. These
are all platforms I named that have over 50 million users on them. And nobody's
doing affiliate marketing on them. Why? The reason is is that this is an
unsaturated industry. People still haven't figured out all of the places
where you could do affiliate marketing. But I'm exposing them here on my channel
to help you grow your business and also to help me grow mine because we are
working here together. This is the only YouTube channel... Thumbs up for being a
subscriber the only YouTube channel that is focused on helping you make more
money. This is a mutually beneficial thing. This is... There's you know, we're
both making money here. So, thumbs up to be part of the only YouTube channel that
has the correct incentives to help everyone make a lot of money. Now, the
fifth reason to get started in affiliate marketing is it is world wide, okay?
That's 2 Ws for worldwide. So, as long as you have a connection to the
internet, you can go on the internet and post links. And as long as you are... You
know there's a ton of affiliate networks you can sign up for. Not every affiliate
network works with every country. So, I suggest you join everyone you can and
see which ones you get approved to the links are in the description. I have a
ton of affiliate networks you can join. Sign up for them all. Now, the sixth
reason to learn about affiliate marketing and it gets started is the
actual process of marketing itself is actually a great way to learn
about sales. So, you know, any business needs sales. You know, if you're going to be
an entrepreneur, you're going to be doing sales. Bare basic fact. The money is going to
come from one person over to you. Somehow you're going to get the money or you're
gonna get a commission but there's going to be some way with affiliate marketing
that you need to get the money. Sales and marketing are intimately related. And
marketing is actually much... I believe it's harder than sales because sales, you
have kind of that pressure, right? If I'm standing in front of you it's going to be
more difficult to say no. Also, it shows that I went out of my way to meet you or
whatever. With marketing, you have to be tactical. You have to make good use of
social proof or funnels or urgency or scarcity your risk reversals or benefits
or problems and solutions. You have to know all of these things. And you have to
do them well. And marketing and affiliate marketing especially is going to help
you learn so much about everything that's involved in doing sales. I got, I
I've never been good at sales. You know, I I had a cold-calling job around college
time and I had to do 100 calls a day. That was my... That was my first job out of
college, actually. And I just remember it was you know, I got hired in this
boiler room. It was like 50 guys it was like mostly guys. I think they're like 2
or 3 women. But it was just a room of 50 guys just hitting the phones every day.
100 calls a day was our quota. So, I had a I did call 100 strangers
every day and try to pitch him this product. And I would call up dentists and
doctors and accountants and lawyers and just try to sell them this stuff. And you
know, advertising packages and it was just mind numbing. And I got hung up on
every time. Really... like, you really start you know doubting yourself. Like, it's
it's very rare to get rejected 100 times a day but you do that in a
cold-calling job. It's kind of like Wolf of Wall Street. And that sucked. You know,
and I... I just couldn't get sales. I think I got like two but I never paid my
salary. I was Making commission only. So, as I was
making only like a couple hundred bucks a month. And it was really pathetic. And I
knew that... I realized I sucked at sales. But in the process, you know after that, I
went into marketing. And what I realized is you know over the years as I've done
marketing. I've been doing affiliate marketing for 10 years now. I've gotten
good and I've realized that I understand sales more intuitively and I can grow
businesses because I got started affiliate marketing. And in fact, many
business owners I know got started no matter what they're doing with affiliate
marketing. Now, the last reason to do affiliate marketing is there's
absolutely nothing to lose, okay? You can't... You know, if you use free
traffic methods... And you go to my free traffic playlist. You don't have to spend
any money doing it. But you're going to actually... You can earn real money. It's
kind of like a video game. If you use that kind of mental model. And I like to
use mental models when I'm doing things. It's a video game. You're posting links.
And don't be attached to the outcome is really important. But you just do it and
you have nothing to lose. And you have no outcome to be attached to. You're going
to become successful and you're going to make real money. And it gets really fun.
And once you start figuring out you know maybe you found out, "Mmm... Like, this is an
unsaturated niche." Deviant art. You know, doing affiliate marketing in there. "Ooh, I
can use Eventbrite to sell webinars." That's a untapped niche. And you start
finding your path and you start getting better and you start making more and
more money, again, like a video game; you keep leveling up. I've leveled up in
money over the years. I've also leveled up in life. You know, having money has
allowed me the freedom and the choices to travel, to meet people around the
world, to buy houses, to buy real estate, to buy you know stocks. I'm failing fast
or as most people wouldn't have that experience of you know starting a family
young or buying real estate properties or investment properties young or stocks.
You know, I've been able to do that because of the freedom and the choices
that I get with affiliate marketing. Where as somebody working a corporate
job would not do any of this until forties or fifties until their way
further on in their career. So, affiliate marketing gives you all these choices.
You have nothing to lose by doing it. Now, if that motivated you to start affiliate
marketing, just say, "I'm starting now, okay?" Say, "Starting now" in the comments because
there's no reason not to get started. If you want to learn some of my paid
traffic methods as well. If you want to learn how to do paid advertising, I have
a playlist I will put a link to in the description or in the comments or
something. Or one of my students if you guys could... If you could link to it for
me the playlist about free... How to do pay-per-click with AdWords, that'll be
great. And I have a ton of content here for you guys. So, many methods to make
marketing. So many successful students making gob loads of cash. It's really
exciting. You're going to see some of them shortly in my next videos. But I look
forward to seeing you... Type in" I'm going to start now". Say "Starting now" in the
comments if you're going to do this for 20 20.
