i am here with jessica and we are going to be talking about amu or affiliate marketing
university you may have seen around that i have a thing where i'm teaching you guys literally
how to do affiliate marketing in a graceful way in a way that doesn't require ads and
that accidentally grows your personal brand and then you can grow it into whatever you want to at
that point right that's kind of the name of the game so jessica welcome and good morning to you
good morning thank you thanks for having me yeah you got it thank you and so you are
in amu you have started working with it and what has what was your you know your previous life
before you joined affiliate marketing university had you tried affiliate marketing before like is
this something that you had tried yeah or no um yeah i tried it casually i was a dabbler
i get that yeah and was that how did it work out for you i imagine if you were a dabbler
you were probably dabbling because it hadn't hit and so it wasn't like a uh you weren't
like oh i'm gonna go do this you know full time right now because it's working so well
yeah so i have a full-time job i'm in graphic design and digital marketing as like my day job um
and i know or i've known what affiliate marketing is and so there's a couple things that i have um
suggested to my friends online and stuff like that but um i think i had six dollars sitting in my
amazon commission thing for eight months you know and they don't pay out until you get to like ten
dollars so i had like six dollars sitting there um and then there was a couple like the very first
week of amu um there was a post suggestion so just kind of like a hand-holding post suggestion
right and so i really thought through it and i thought about what it was that i could really
share authentically with my audience which is a private audience on facebook none of my profile
stuff is public on facebook or instagram but i put it out there and i used your suggestions for that
and amazon the way the amazon works is like it's all retroactive so whatever you do like you see
the results of it in the next days so i tried to i tried to post a couple days earlier than prime
days um i kind of geared up for it with a couple posts and then the second day of prime days
i i had clicks i had so many clicks and i was like oh my gosh this is this might do something right
like clicks don't get you money but the clicks lead to the sales so um it was it was a lot and
it keeps coming in day after day because it just kind of compounds and you follow this
curve and it was amazing ah i love it i love it and for you guys that uh if you're not sure what
she's referring to with amazon stuff there's an amazon affiliate program which is very um
you know when you look at the overall money coming from amazon affiliate program it's kind of like
nickel and dime that sort of deal but in affiliate marketing university what you're going to learn
is the short game which is what i teach you first so you can start making money immediately
also when the membership's live here pretty soon you're gonna have a course on your very first 1k
so i'm gonna walk you through making your very first thousand dollars so there's that also but
uh you have your short game you have your long game and i teach that to you in amu and then you
have your legacy play which is the thing that can be willed down to your kids you know and it's not
you don't accidentally have a legacy play it needs to be intentional and so with the with the amazon
stuff some people might be like oh well that's only you know six bucks or that's only 10 bucks
but you guys at the end of the day first of all what we need to realize is that that same behavior
that drives clicks to amazon is going to be the same exact behavior that we use to drive clicks to
higher you know higher ranking affiliate programs and so this thursday wait yeah in a couple of
days i'm going to be doing a training on the most lucrative affiliate marketing programs that there
are and how to be able to present them and so i'm i'm going to be presenting that and then it's
going to get popped into the membership as well whenever the membership is live so there's all of
these things are going to be available to you just so you know but understand that the you know like
if it's only six dollars for amazon that's really just we're driving behaviors we're solidifying
behaviors that's really what it's about and then you naturally accidentally grow a personal brand
where you can then you know make courses and have coaching stuff and if you choose to go that route
you can but you definitely don't need to and so what would you say jessica sorry that was totally
a really long rabbit hole um what would you say is the most exciting thing about this working now
for you um i've been trying to stop trading dollars for hours for a really long time and so
the money i mean i don't i don't care anybody can know how much i made i made almost three
hundred dollars on prime days so there you go but like 100 bucks you guys that's like
electric bills right yeah no that's that's a gap that's a take gas right now right um but
that i just it was a couple posts like that was like making over 300 an hour and i i didn't have
to meet with anybody i didn't have to um drive from my home and take time away from my boys
like i it was just oh casually like check this out and my people responded so that was amazing
and you didn't have to sell anything right i think that's so whenever i so you know my mission
is to to free up families and to make sure that families are like good in this economy and just
always but a thing with families and people that i love is that they don't technically love selling
anything they want to give things away and they want to help people and those are my people right
and so i had to figure out a way for them to be able to make money where they're not selling
things and this is the beauty is that you don't have to sell anything you're literally just saying
here's the thing that i use here's why i use it here's why i love it and it's so it's just
people people want to to do what you're doing they want to use what you're using so what were
some things that you shared out of curiosity now i'm now curious um well okay so we bought a house
this last november and we moved on the property and um the back patio is amazing but it's just um
like it's bare bones right now and so in my head for a while now i've been imagining like a gazebo
and life strung up and all this stuff and so i just finally asked people i was like
like have you used these lights over these lights which ones do you prefer and why and
so now i have great feedback for me moving forward right it was basically solar versus plug-in lights
um so i just found those on um you know on amazon and like did my research on them and then
asked people about it and it was like the feedback was amazing i think there was like
150 clicks through to amazon that day like just from that and then um so i am i'm starting to
kind of set a property up for some homesteading i want lots of animals around me and all this stuff
and so a secondary post that i did in a group that i belong in is um it was related to the freeze
dryer that i just bought and so um it like just supplies and so i was asking for someone who knows
more than me to give me feedback on these before i bought them and that hit it out of part two so um
and at the end of the day it was all these people helping me um with genuine questions that i had
oh i love it i love it i love it i just freaking love it um guys if you want to follow jessica
