well what we are doing today is we're talking about can affiliate marketing actually work
can it actually be easy and can it be profitable where you don't feel like you you know this is
my favorite thing about affiliate marketing if you don't know who i am my name is martha
creachy that's how you pronounce all of those consonants together in one place
my job is to make sure that families don't struggle that's my that's my main operative
right but whenever we talk about affiliate marketing i think the most important thing
to note is the fact that you don't have to have a business like whenever people talk
about making money from home it's either you work for another company or you like have to
start your own business and there's this whole uphill thing with starting your own business but
i have rebecca on here in case you're like who's with martha i have rebecca on here
she is like one of my favorites you guys she is in amu which is my training where i teach
you guys how to do affiliate marketing in a way that isn't skeezy weird and really even difficult
quite frankly and rebecca tell me tell me what life was like i suppose before you started doing
you know before you started amu before you like what was it like trying to make money and that
sort of thing so funny enough i have been an amazon affiliate for six years oh this year
yes and honestly the only reason i think i've never been kicked out is because i made like the
smallest amount back in 2016 and i forgot to put in my payment information of how to actually pay
get paid and so like they couldn't kick me out because honestly i should have been kicked up
right now because i wasn't being profitable and they owed you money so they couldn't kick
you out like there's there's a hack right there just make sure they owe you money
that's right and i was like trying and trying to do this affiliate thing i've been collecting
affiliate sites forever but i've never known like what to do with them and um been trying to just
get my brand and my business off the ground and you go on instagram you see all these amazing like
influencers and you're like man if i've got to get my life together before doing that um how
am i going to do this i don't know if you know this right now i'm in my pajamas full
on maybe on my hip dry shampoo yesterday's makeup and makeup right here too i just
had somebody else blow out my hair so that's that's the only reason i look halfway deeper
and i'm not even all the way through amu yet i'm on like module seven and with the steps that you
give in amu this is monkey see monkey do i am literally rocking this with a baby on my hip
and and being profitable now like now amazon's not gonna kick me out because like oh i'm
actually being profitable on top of that what do we want as moms to get paid to make memories
with our kids i don't want to sacrifice time with my a way for my children to do this thing
i want to do this with them and so i actually became affiliates with her play gym with the
smoothies that i drink every morning as a busy mom i don't have time to have breakfast
so i went and asked to be an affiliate with one of my favorite yorksuper.com and they accept like
i think it's like 26 or 36 of applicants and they're like boom yeah you're in
and so now what do i do i i share my messy my hot mess life on social media and people are like oh
hey what's that they're asking for affiliate links in an authentic way and that's what you teach us
it's awesome yes you guys that's whenever i so i have so many speaking gigs lined up right now
to even speak to massive influencer one of them i can't say yet but will be revealed this week
to like massive influencers about affiliate marketing because you guys if you search affiliate
marketing online like brace yourself and maybe just give yourself a hug a little bit because it's
going to get weird out there and uh it gets real skeezy real weird real like slimy and that's how
people think of affiliate marketing they don't do so the way that i teach you guys to do it is a way
that's so natural to you right like what rebecca is saying you literally just live your life
and the way that i the way that i love to do it on my own and i see rebecca doing it too is it's
we kind of live you know our mission and we live what sets our soul on fire instead of that just
being a man it would be cool if i could do this and i could talk about this and i could just make
money doing that instead of even having to sell your own stuff all you do is you help your people
through a thing that you're do you know i mean it like with the smoothies okay i don't have
time for breakfast here's what i'm doing and all the moms cheered right because they're like me
either and that's that really is what it's about you guys but there's like there's tactics and
strategies for the long game so there's the short game that's social media and then there's the long
game legacy play and those are the videos that maybe you have or haven't gotten to yet because
they're near the end so i in amu you guys i front load the uh the content with actionable make money
right now stuff like it we hit the ground running quick and then i move into the legacy play which
is where you make passive income that you can then pass down to your kids so like that is that's the
extent of amu just so you guys know and just also a heads up because i can't not say this
if you get amu like within the next couple of weeks you're gonna get the first as i record
this right now you're gonna get the first six months man that feels like a long time it is the
first six months of my membership that's coming live you're gonna get that for free okay and that
the value of that's like 401 or something so it's already over you know you're already getting you
got a return just by not even like by just buying it you have a return but just so you guys know
that membership i'm literally going to be teaching you how to make your first one thousand dollars
and then it's going to be okay so we're gonna do a ladder format it's gonna be zero to a thousand
dollars if you're there you do this one thousand to three thousand a month do this three thousand
to five thousand a month do this like we are moving up through the ranks and i have freaking
teachers and influencers coming alongside me that are going to be teaching you guys it's stupid it's
just stupid so anyway i'm just i i don't know why i just went off on a rant about that so
what surprised you the most because you've been an affiliate for amazon for six years so what
surprised you the most about this switch in the way that you are um sharing your links
honestly i think it's just the fact that before i again watching influence i felt like i had to have
it all together i felt like i had to look the part everything had to be like aesthetically pleasing
um you know it's like when you come to jesus you're like oh do i have to have my act together
like no come as you are and i have actually been in the background of doing social media marketing
for a long time and making these aesthetically pleasing things and you know what like that's
great and it's fun and we like to look at the pretty things but i want to know like can i do
this for real and so i i do half of my talks like in my pajamas totally messy because moms relate to
that we want to know like do i have to have my act all together and the answer is no you don't
and so i was like in my own way thinking man i i've got to look the part i have to have x y and z
yeah yeah and and you teach us like you really don't like be authentic be you um and
and when you come off it's like by my thing by my thing by my thing um it's so gross and you
can feel it you can see it all over social media um and you do it in such an authentic way we're
tired and and you teach that and so i think that was like the biggest difference is once i got over
feeling like i had to have it all together and just being like hey this is me this is what i do
um like i said people ask me all the time now for my for where did you get that do you have a link
and it's just such a big difference from me being like hey here's this thing and
they're like hey can i have the link to that thing yes and here's the deal guys i love
first of all people would rather buy from you or buy from your link if you have if
you look less put together that's the thing is more polish does not win more polished
is actually here's here's can i let you in on a secret like everybody that's watching right now
the people that appear to have their stuff together are actually likely not financially where
you think they are just a heads up because when things are so polished people don't want that they
don't gravitate to that they just really don't unless what the person is selling is just like
the offer is just you feel stupid for not buying it but for most people that's not the case and so
they're not all they're doing is shooting themself in the foot because it's very clear that well i
mean we know nobody's perfect and so when we look at that stuff we're kind of maybe even in
the back of our mind a little bit miffed at like why are you even showing up that way like don't
do that just be real please you know and so i'll show like my messy house and sometimes it's clean
but that's because of olga it's not because of me but that's i'll show pictures of my messy house
with some like i've got stuff going on back here it's you know and it's not like uber mess don't
message me and be like merlot it's not messy it's a little bit okay just bear with me like i said
there's olga and she cleans me up afterwards but anyway what i'm trying to say is the more
real that we can be the more less filtered if we start taking pictures with less filters you know
what i'm saying let's show our pores let's show our wrinkles let's be real who gives a rip guys
we can't connect with other human beings if we're not going to be real um candy said you're amazing
i posted my first ever post yesterday on facebook a product i used for nine years and within a few
minutes already had some sales through amazon that's it guys and also for those of you that
are also in network marketing if you've been trying to make your network marketing thing work
amu if you use this strategy it will work for network marketing that's i mean it will you
just have to use the strategy it'll work just the same so what would you say to people that are on
the fence rebecca and then we'll pop out of here because i think we've already gotten long or i've
gotten long-winded not you but uh what would you say to people that are on the fence that are like
uh maybe is it really going to be good whatever people think oh seriously just do it i mean
with in the first seven modules i'm already making sales and being profitable i mean
right off the get-go you don't even have to finish the course to be profitable which is great because
most people don't finish courses right who has time for not martha no just kidding no i get it i
get it and that's why i make the videos so doggone short for you guys too because i know bite size
pieces that is the other thing is i you know while breastfeeding i'm watching videos it's just like
you can do it while going to the bathroom moms like if you if you don't have five kids outside
your bathroom you know screaming to get in i want that sound bite you can do it while going that's
going on a sales page somewhere someone said do i need a website no you don't need a website
and i don't even have one and i'm doing the thing boom there it is there it is tammy said i love the
bite size videos thank you heck yeah i listen the way that i teach you guys and then i'm going to
get out of here the way that i teach you guys is the way that i consume content and i see myself as
the average of most people in that i get excited about things and i really want to learn something
but then i see a long video and i'm like but not right now because i don't have that time
to commit to it right got a kid running around the house like she's asking me every two seconds
to do something which is great but also like it breaks focus right so i can't focus on something
for 40 minutes so 5 minutes 10 minutes yes i can do that and i can commit to that so that's how i
teach you guys too so rebecca thank you so much for coming on i appreciate you i love seeing you
