Hi guys! These are my affiliate commissions - about $5000 I earned just recently,
and that's what I'll be showing you in this video - how you can promote
your own affiliate links from wherever you are in the world. Again, it doesn't matter where
you live - this method will work for you anyway! We'll use ChatGPT to make the whole process easier
so if you've been trying affiliate marketing for a while but something just doesn't click for you
yet, I'll show you right here on my screen how to promote a high-converting product using ChatGPT.
Our Step #1 Get your Affiliate Link
And first, you'll need to Sign up for one of the most lucrative affiliate
programs out there - it's a well-known VPN brand Surfshark. I partnered with them to
show you this tutorial today because it's one of the top-10 VPN services,
and they will pay you a 40% revenue share on new sales and the cookie length is 30 days.
You see, it's super easy to promote VPN services because it
has become a very common practice around the world. In many countries,
governments are basically forcing people to use VPN to get access to certain websites.
Even if not for that reason, a lot of people just want some privacy online, so users want and need
VPN and these services are really easy to promote. So if someone clicks on your link and they don't
buy anything for 29 days and then on day 30 they start their paid VPN subscription you can still
get that 40% commission. And the great part is that it can work for influencers in many countries
because Surfshark works in many different languages and helps people around the world.
To sign up just use the first link in the description below - it's surfshark.com/affilaite.
Click on this red button Become Affiliate. Your partner sign up is very easy - just
submit your personal information or if you have a registered company,
it can be your company information. You'll need your address and your website.
I have my site anastasiablogger.com but if you don't have a website, what you can do here
instead is add a link to any of your social media accounts like maybe you have a Pinterest account,
or Instagram, or Youtube account, you can put that in here your main platform you'll use to promote
Suftshark. If you don't have any of those and no website, you can quickly create a blog on a free
platform like Medium.com for example. Just go to Medium.com and you'll find
there a button Write if you go through this page, you'll be able to create a free blog,
just click Get Started and use your gmail account or your social media accounts to sign up.
Once you are inside of your blog, you'll have a simple text editor
there to create your articles but we'll get back to it on the next step when
you will learn how to use ChatGPT to create content and promote Surfshark.
Now, to complete our sign-up for Surfshark affiliate program, next you'll be asked to give
a bit more information about yourself, like your name and you'll have to create a strong password.
On the next step you'll need to insert again the link to the main platform you'll use to promote
Surfshark, again it can be your website, your social media profile or a free blog on Medium.
Then you'll just say you want to promote VPN or the option All products would work
fine too. They have a couple more products. You can select here that
you heard about this affiliate program on Youtube since you are watching this video.
Then you should submit a short message to explain how you want to promote Surfshark.
If you don't have any idea what to write here, I'll give you an example message like this one,
I don't think it's worth reading it all I'll just copy this text and give it to you
in the description below this video. I just mentioned again that I'm a blogger
and YouTuber and that my audience will be interested in this product and so on.
As for the paid traffic and mobile traffic,
you can say no here, at least I won't use these types of traffic,
and then you'll be asked to read their Terms of Service and fill in all the checkboxes below.
And that's it! You just submit your application and all you need to do is wait a couple of days
to receive a reply about your application from the Surfshark affiliate manager.
Once you are approved, you'll get to your affiliate dashboard and you can
see all 3 products you can promote with Surfshark.
See for the VPN service you get a 40% commission, and you can click here to check the landing page
to know what's the user experience. Now, you can click here on the offer
title and it will open a detailed page for this service and you can get here your affiliate link,
you can choose to use a short link and then we'll just click to copy this link. Don't forget about
this link because we'll need it on the next steps when you start promoting the offer.
Step #2. Promote your Affiliate Links So, how do you promote Surfshark and
start making those sweet commissions? Well, you have a sea of options!
First off, you can think about crafting some long-form content
like articles on Medium or even on your own blog. You can check platforms like Quora and Reddit to
find conversations there between users who are wondering about the best VPN services out there.
Let's see how it works on Quora. You just do a quick search for "best VPN services" and you'll
find plenty of questions and threads started by other users. You can join these threads and
share your experience with Surfshark VPN. Both Quora and Reddit don't allow posing
your direct affiliate links, so I want to highlight this - you should not just drop
your affiliate links or your account on Quora will be eventually blocked at some point.
Instead, somewhere along the lines you can add a link to your detailed article, and then in
that article on your own website or on a free Medium blog you can include affiliate links.
I'll show you on the next step how ChatGPT will help us create content for articles, and you can
even use it to generate answers for Quora, create shorter texts to use them on social media accounts
and whatnot but for now, I just want to show you all the options where you can promote your links.
If writing's not your thing, you could create video reviews of Surfshark for YouTube. A lot
of people these days rely on video reviews more than on a written blog articles because well,
in a video you can usually also see the software in action.
All you need to record a video is a screen sharing tool, you could use OBS studio for
free and maybe a web camera to show how you use Surfshark on your computer and
teach people how to stay safe online. If you don't want to create long videos,
you can even use your mobile phone a record on it a short vertical video up to 60 seconds.
It's a popular video format these days on Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok and Pinterest.
On iPhone you can use a free app called RecordIt Screen Recorder.
For Android devices, a great free option is called X-Recorder.
I guess you might want to re-watch this part again if I mentioned these apps too fast. I
think they are fantastic because you can not only record your mobile screen but also add
your face talking to the camera in a smaller window so it all looks like a short tutorial.
Now, you should know that on Youtube, we are allowed to mention our direct affiliate links
going straight to the product page, in the video description. See how it looks here in
one of my videos. See on Youtube you don't even need to send users to your blog post,
Youtube does not block you for posting the actual affiliate links and it eliminates
one extra step on the way to your commissions. By the way, if you find what I shared in this
video helpful so far, give me a thumbs up. It really motivates me to work on my future videos!
Thank you all for the support, this channel is getting close to 100k subscribers thanks to all
of you guys! I would love to get my Silver Creator Award and it's entirely up to you if you want to
help me get it faster! :) So subscribe and hit the bell button to get more of my videos in your feed.
If you've been watching my videos for a while, you know that I'm big on
Pinterest and I'm getting about 80k monthly visitors from this platform to my website.
But did you know that you are also allowed to add direct affiliate links to your pins? You can
create a vertical image pin in this format and look right here is where
you can submit your affiliate link. You can also upload on Pinterest
short-form videos, the same type you would make for Youtube shorts or even shorter!
Pinterest actually recommends making videos that are just 6-15 seconds long!
So it should be quite easy to create them. I just searched for mobile video templates
in the free graphic design tool called Canva. You can create a forever free
account using my link anastasiablogger.com/canva. See how I just changed the text on this template
to Best VPN for Travel Bloggers and downloaded this video, then uploaded it on Pinterest,
added a title and description and a couple of relevant tags, and here is my affiliate link!
I do have on this channel another much more detailed video on how to use Pinterest for
affiliate marketing, I'll link it up there and in the description below,
so watch it once you finish this video :) And we shouldn't forget about Instagram and
TikTok as well. Short videos are the main type of content on these platforms. Just think, a quick,
fun video showcasing how Surfshark works could go viral and bring in tons of new commissions!
I actually did check this hashtag #surfsharkvpn on Instagram and see it doesn't look too saturated
yet, you can get some inspiration from other accounts that posted content about Surfshark.
On both Instagram and Tiktok you can maximize your chances to get more commissions by using
a link in bio tool. There are tools link Linktree - you can place multiple links on a
link tree page and it has a completely free plan. Here is an example of a Linktree page in action
- you see they created here a page with lots of links, any of these links could be your affiliate
link to Surfshark and you could also send users to other important pages or products if you wish.
Another similar tool with a free plan is called Beacons and you can create a
similar type of link in bio page - kind of what you can see here on the screen now.
Step #3 Create Content Using ChatGPT
Alright, we talked about all the different platforms you can promote your affiliate
links on, now let's talk about how we can use ChatGPT to help you generate the texts
for all these platforms in no time. I will show you some really great
ideas for smart prompts that will give you the best outcome, so pay close attention!
Let's start with our Quora questions. All you need to do is simply take the question someone
asked there and make a quick prompt like this in ChatGPT. Basically, I copied the question but I
also asked the AI tool to make sure it explains all the benefits of Surfshark VPN because I
want to promote my affiliate link, right? I first asked ChatGPT to give me a shorter
answer and if you think it's way too short, you can simply ask ChatGPT to make it longer and it
will add even more details to your answer. Now all you need to do is fact-check what
ChatGPT generated for us because we have to keep in mind the model was trained based on
the information available online until 2021 and maybe Surfshark has changed something in their
features or plans since then. You need to know the product you are promoting so read and fix
any mistakes if you find that ChatGPT might have a bit outdated information on something.
Now that was for an answer on Quora or Reddi. What if you needed a full
blog post for a platform like Medium or if you have your own website like I do,
maybe you could publish a longer review of Surfshark there.
ChatGPT can write for you the whole article in a matter of minutes.
See here I am showing you the entire prompt that I used. I asked it to write me a 1000-word
article with a detailed review of Surfshark VPN service, make a list of the benefits
and advantages of this service. Tone: friendly, enthusiastic,
engaging, informative Include relevant statistics
(add the links of the sources). And I asked it to mention the
source links at the end.
I think you'll get the best out of this video if I
give you the text of this prompt in the description below, so check it there.
Now I also wanted to show you a few other things you could do with ChatGPT.
For your Pins on Pinterest, you will need a title and a description
with affiliate disclosure. That's why we'll ask ChatGPT to make for us 3 different ideas
for pins. Now, on Pinterest your titles can be up to 100 characters and descriptions up
to 500 but if you give these limits ChatGPT will make the texts longer,
so I recommend you mention in your prompt the lower character limit. See what we've
got as a result of ChatGPT, great titles and descriptions we can copy and paste on Pinterest.
For your Instagram and Tiktok videos you can ask AI to write you very short texts like this:
I need a creative caption for Instagram to promote Surfshark VPN services as an affiliate on social
media. Could you suggest some ideas? Include affiliate disclosure, hashtags, and emojis.
And in a few seconds you will have 3 different texts including all that
you asked for, see it will even add hashtags relevant to the brand you
want to promote and emojis that also match the product you promote - online
privacy emojis and so on You can even use all 3 of them in different posts.
Again to sign up for Surfshark affiliate program use the first link in the description below.
Do you agree with me that perhaps doing affiliate marketing on Pinterest might be
the easiest way of all mentioned today? If you do watch next my video tutorial on how
to create viral pins in Canva for free. But not just yet, first Subscribe if you
