What is affiliate marketing and how does it work? Now, in this video, I'm going to be
going over the 2 ways to make money with affiliate marketing. 7 different
affiliate programs you can sign up with. And 8 different traffic sources. Now,
I've been doing affiliate marketing for almost eight years now. And I've made
millions of dollars with it. and I'll be breaking everything down that you need
to get started and make some serious money with this. Let's get it. So, first
you've got to understand the business model to understand the two ways to make
money. Now, let's start out for instance and saying that there's a customer wants
to buy a watch online. So, the customer goes online and searches for watches and
they find a great watch that they want to buy, okay?
Now, the person who owns the watch is called the product owner, okay? Because
they created the watch. Maybe they are Casio or Sony or whatever. And they have
an affiliate program that let's say John. John Affiliate signed up with. So, in many
affiliate programs, people split the profits 50/50.
Okay? So 50% of the money goes here and 50% of the money goes to the affiliate
who markets it. Now, this affiliate --John (let's call him) Put up an ad on Facebook
and said, "Hey I have a great watch." The customer bought it. Now, in that case, the
customer paid $100 and the product owner makes 50 and the affiliate makes $50 for
marketing it. These are the 3 main components of affiliate marketing. The
product owner who has an affiliate program, the affiliate who's selling it
and the customer. And the 2 ways to make money in the affiliate marketing
ecosystem because you can have a product and have other affiliates promoted or
you can be the affiliate and make money marketing products. So, let's look at 2
examples and then I'm going to get into the seven different affiliate networks and
8 different traffic sources that you can use to start affiliate marketing.
Here I am on a website called recordingnow.com. This is actually the website of
another famous Affiliate/YouTuber called ODI. So, if we look under here,
under his gear reviews, we'll see he reviews different headphones, okay? A lot
of people before they spending a lot of money on an expensive headphone set,
they'll look at a review of the product. You know to make sure that other people
are saying it's cool and you know it it's it's worthwhile. Now, as you'll see
here, he has his affiliate links right here at the bottom. Do you see that?
He says order the beats solo 3 wireless headphones here for the lowest
price available. Do not pay retail. And he has links from amazon's affiliate
program right here. Every person who buys after clicking on this link, he will end
up making about 5% on. So 5% of $300 is about $15.
So, it's pretty good. Everybody who visits his page. And there could be
thousands of people that are searching to buy these headphones. I think even
millions of people by the the Beats by Dre. So, you could make a lot of money,
15 times a lot of people. Here's another example of somebody using
affiliate links. So, here's a famous YouTuber called Peter McKinnon. You see
he has 3 million subscribers. You may not have heard of him before. But 3
million other people have. And a lot of people watch his videos. So now, you'll
see right here. He... You know, he has a video that's been viewed a lot of times.
And do you see all of these... He talks about digital photography and video. You,
know making videos. He's very good at it. Now, you'll see right here, he has
new Lightroom presets pack. His link which goes to his affiliate links. So, he
will make money every time somebody buys that product, okay? And you can see more
stuff here. Once again, you know his camera here, he has Amazon affiliate
links to amazon's affiliate program right here. He has a lot of affiliate
links. In fact, that he's using to make money. Now, Peter McKinnon is a very
influential photographer. I want you to look at the price of some
of his products that he's selling as an affiliate on his site. Now, he does a very
good job of making people want to get good into video. But keep in mind that
5% number while we look at how expensive some of these products are
that he gets people to buy. $5,000. Look at this camera. This camera
is $5,000. That's $5,000 right there, baby.
That is a lot of money. And if we do the math right here, let's bring this up
right here. We do the math and $5,499
times .05%. He makes a cool $274
every time somebody buys this camera. It's the number one
affiliate link on his thing. And this video... This video has been viewed by 1.5
million aspiring videographers, right? A lot of people who are watching his stuff
or you know, generally speaking they're aspiring to go into like some sort of
video based... You know, photography sort of work. All he has to do is sell one of
those a day. One of those a day. He doesn't even have to send it out. He
doesn't have to call anybody. He doesn't have to support anybody. He just shoots
his videos and he's making some cool money here. And he has a lot more stuff.
As you can see, there's a lot more stuff that goes into it. Look at this, he's
favorite lens ever. How much is this? $1,500. Look at
that. That's $1,500. That's a
lot of money. And that's an additional... What is it? Like something like 5%
of that is it's like $75. So, there's a lot of money.
He's in a very, very, very valuable niche. So now, a lot of the people that follow
Peter are not just looking. It's a very high-priced. Hobby or job to get into. You
know, photography and videography, you know? So... He's in a great place to be an
affiliate marketer. and he gets to have fun doing it because he's just talking
about the stuff he loves all day. Shooting videos, he's doing cool stuff.
And he's motivating other people to you the same sort of stuff. So, I love
that. Let's check out how else, you know, some good affiliate programs... You heard
about Amazon right here. But let's look at some good affiliate programs other
than Amazon that you can get started with selling products on. So, first off... I
just gotta mention Amazon. Amazon is the biggest affiliate program out there.
It'll pay 5% which is not a lot but it can add up. As you've seen, if
you're selling high-priced goods. And their program is called Amazon
Associates. And you can see right here. You can join for free. These don't cost
anything to join. Affiliate programs pay you, okay? They pay you money. And I got
all this money here just you know, because this is a fraction of what I
earn each year with affiliate marketing. Just kind of give you an idea. My
business does almost 7 million dollars per year. If it sounds nuts, I
don't have any employees. Sounds absolutely insane but it's true. It's a
huge market. But I won't go into my business. This is about you right now.
Look. See join, advertise and earn. And you can have Amazon. This is Amazon pay you
money. Just like they pay Peter McKinnon, just like they pay me, just like they pay
ODI productions, okay? Now, next is the second of program is Walmart. It's called
affiliate link program and you can become in a Walmart affiliate by
referring customers to Walmart.com. So, just as you saw. And we're going to go into
the different traffic sources in just a second. But first I want to show you how
you can make that money. So, you can make money from Walmart. Walmart pays you to
send people to their website, okay? Target will pay you to send people to
their website. If you're wondering how you find these links, you could just
search Target affiliate, Walmart affiliate, Amazon affiliate. Or you can go
down to the bottom of the site and you can see right here. You can see in the
footer, see that link affiliates right there. You just click that link and it'll
take you to Target affiliates, okay? Join the day. signing up is free. And as you
see, you can earn up to 8% on products. 8% of anything you
sell. People are already shopping at Target,
People are already buying these products. And you can earn up to 8% of everything
they buy. That's pretty good, okay? And not only that but you don't even have to be
at the store. You can sell the people all around the world. So, the Internet is huge.
And with the population surpassing 7 billion people on this planet. The
opportunity to make money online is beyond your comprehension. I want to
explain that to you. It's beyond your comprehension. Just a small slice of it.
eBay has an affiliate program. tTey call their partner Network, okay? So, sometimes
affiliate marketing people think affiliate marketers are aggressive. Or
they you know, marketers is kind of like a same word it's like sales people. But
they make a lot of money for people. So, everybody has an affiliate program now.
And here it says get paid when people buy products. So, you can you can earn
money when people buy stuff on eBay. Now, this is a bit of a unique affiliate
program but I want to expose you to some like really interesting things that are
out here. Now roll is a trucking company and check this out. How does an extra
$1,500 sound? So, what this affiliate program is, is this affiliate
program is about referring people to become truck drivers. Every year, the
trucking companies are growing or people are leaving or whatever and they need
more people to become truck drivers every year. Makes sense, right? There's
always... There's always truck driving jobs. But the thing is it's been getting
harder and harder and harder for people to find new people to become truck
drivers. Therefore they offer a bounty. If you refer somebody who ends up becoming
a truck driver, you will get $1,500.
$1,500 for just referring somebody online to become a truck driver, right? It
sounds silly but you can do that real easily. And I'm going to go over some of the
traffic sources in just a second. I'm going to go over 8
traffic sources in just a second here. But first, I want to get to my last 2
affiliate programs. The second last one is my own product, okay? So my own product
pays extremely well, okay? So, I have an educational course on how to do
affiliate marketing, okay? You can you can go through my educational course on how
to do affiliate marketing. It's $1,000. But I also have... You know I also have
coaching program. But anybody who goes into my training program --educational
course which is an online training course. I offer very competitive
commissions for affiliates to refer it or promote it. So every affiliate of mine
makes about $500. In additionally, they earn a hundred and $25
per month. Just to give you an idea. So, my product is the top selling educational
course on the internet. And you can check it out.
You go to clickbank.com, okay? So, if you want to sell that. Clickbank as an
affiliate network. Now, the number one thing that I'm going to expose you to is...
Now this is the best niche. This is... This is the niche that gives me so excited
because the amount of money available in this niche is literally trillions of
dollars more than any other niche. Now, this niche I'm about to show you makes
the amount of money I have here seems small. But in fact, a lot of this came
from me being an affiliate in this niche. This is the niche I started it. And I've
been a major affiliate in for years. And that niche is the investment niche. Now,
each year, trillions of dollars are being transferred back and forth between
accounts, retirement providers, different things every year. Literally trillions of
dollars. More money than people buy on everything on Amazon combined is being
transacted in people's retirement accounts and investment accounts of
savings accounts. The money is going around. Now, the investment niche... You
can't... You can't invest with credit cards. You're in
testing with... It's just cash that's floating up in the banks. And the regal
assets affiliate program allows you to make 3% of transfers that people make
from their retirement accounts in 2 different investment vehicles, okay? So,
regal assets, personally, they help people move their money around from into
precious metals, gold, silver, palladium, platinum, solar. You know wind farms, real
estate, crypto currencies. They help people move their money around into
alternative assets other than stocks. But with this program, you can earn 3%.
The average deal is $80,000, okay? $80,000. So on average, you'll make a $2,500
commission. All you need is one click, one lead one customer per month. They do all
the sales for you. You just need to get their name, phone number and email
address. If somebody who's interested in doing investing. And you can make $2,500
or more. I've made over $30,000 in a single commission. Just to
give you an idea of what that is, $30,000 in a single commission
is one, two, three. And this would happen in one day, okay? So, just to give you an
idea of that. So, regal assets affiliate program. I'll put a link for it somewhere
around here below the you know, in the description or something. So, you can
check that out. How do you get people to click on your links, right? You're getting
these links. You're getting these affiliate program links and you're
putting them up. Just like Peter McKinnon did or recording ODI productions did.
Where they're putting their links on their YouTube videos or their blog posts.
How can you get people to click on your links, right? You want to make money. You
want to get interested people. How do you market this stuff? Do you just text it to
your friends? Do you just email it to your mom and dad? And say, "Hey mom dad
click on my links." That is one way. But I'll give you some better ways that you
can start earning money as a marketer. But you've got to put yourself in the
salespersons mindset. If you're just looking for a quick buck then go home
stop being late you dumb millennial, okay? If you're just
looking for a quick way to make money without working, go home. Leave this
channel, never come back. But if you're looking to work hard and actually do
this and actually build a sustainable business, here's what you do.
Now, this may seem patronizing for some. But this is these are the ways to get
traffic online. And if you stuck around to see these traffic sources, it's easy.
It's obvious. It's not hard, okay? So don't think this is rocket science here. It's
very straightforward. Facebook, Google, YouTube and Instagram. You can post on
them for free or you can post ads on all of these places. On Facebook, you can set
up a Facebook group or you can set up a Facebook page. And you can post your
affiliate links for free, okay? Let's say you want to post about investments, right?
Start a Facebook group about alternative investment strategies. Easy. And then you
post your regal assets links in there. Or you can put up Facebook ads to people
who are in a position to invest. Boom! Google is the same thing. I showed you
how you can do blog posts on Google. Google shows those blog posts for free.
Or you can pay Google to show up at the top. So, you have ads or free blog posts.
Either one will get people going to your affiliate links. Number 3 is YouTube.
Now, YouTube is the number one source for education. Right now, you're learning from
me. There's a lot of education that goes on on YouTube. I believe it's the future
of Education which is really exciting. Now, if you want to promote educational
programs such as you know my training course on how to start an online
business. Or if you want to promote any training course, you know, from like Kevin
David or whatever. You can promote it through YouTube ads. Or you can put up a
video about whatever you're looking to teach people. So for instance, you know,
truck driving, right? You can put up a video how to be a truck driver. And link
to that referral program sending people to how they can apply to be a truck
driver, does it make sense? Easy. And
Instagram. Same thing. You can put a post for free on Instagram or you can put up
posts. You can actually pay to advertise on Instagram. Now, as you see on Instagram,
you can post a link in the description, right? So, I have a link. If you want to
join my course for instance and learn how to start an online biz. You can join
right here and put a link. If you're an affiliate, you would put your
affiliate link there and you just do daily posts on Instagram talking about
whatever. But as long as they're interesting and people want to share
them, that's the most important thing. Now, if you enjoyed this video, slam that
