online money-making strategy called wait for it Affiliate Marketing.
But as always before we begin a quick word from our video sponsor, the like button. Wait,

going to look through and if he sees 1000 comments saying Nana I SMASHED, he’s going to cancel elevy.
Did you smash it? Smash oo!
Okay, enough of the fooling. In the last video a lot of you expressed interest in learning about
affiliate marketing so today that is what we’re going to be doing. I am going to take
you through the a-z of everything you need to know. But what is affiliate marketing?
Just in case you didn’t watch my last video, it is a performance-based marketing technique
where a business will pay you a commission for bringing them new customers. For example, and I
need you to pay close attention or you will get lost, if Ibrahim Mahama wants more customers for
Dzata cement since he just started producing it, he can say okay, in order to get customers faster
let me reward anyone who brings me a new customer with a percentage of the revenue I make from that
new customer. So if the new customer buys 100 cedis worth of Dzata Cement, I’m going to pay
the one who brought him or introduced him a 30% commission so I’m going to give him 30 cedis out
of the 100 cedis. But in order for me to know who is referring who or who is bringing in who,
I am going to give everyone a special link or code, for the purposes of this video we’re going
to call this an affiliate link or affiliate code, when a new buyer comes and uses the link
or code to purchase my cement, I will be able to track who exactly referred him and pay that
person his deserved commission. This way, I will incentivize more people to buy my cement and I’ll
grow very fast since everyone will want to share their link and make a commission. This is a win,
win for everyone. I will sell more cement faster, I will get new customers faster but not only that,
other people who use my cement and bring new customers will also make money…faster! Awesome.
The good news is that many companies use this strategy to grow and create awareness
of their products and services. So what we are going to do is we’re going to share these
affiliate links to as many people as we can. Because the more people who use our links,
the more money we will make. It’s that simple. And another good news is that this is passive
income. What that means is that as long as people keep using your links to buy whatever it is,
you’ll keep making money for as long as the product or service stays relevant or the company
continues their affiliate programme. What am I even saying? YOU WILL MAKE MONEY WHILE YOU SLEEP!
But you can’t just share links indiscriminately. Nobody will mind you. In fact, it’s going to piss
people off. So I’m going to show you the strategies I use to share affiliate links
and make money. But before I do that, just to let you know this is real and I am not lying,
here’s one of the results from the affiliate links I have shared. I first shared this link in 2020,
and ever since, this is how much I have made year on year and in the last 4 month. 2020, 2021,
January, February, March, April (so far in 2022…) Unbelievable right? Well, let’s get to it then.
The first way to make money with affiliate marketing is to register on an affiliate
marketing website. Now these are specialized websites that give you links on different
affiliate products from different companies around the world. You just have to share any of the links
you’re interested in, and when someone makes a purchase with your link, your commission will
be in your earnings tab of that website available for you to withdraw it. Examples of such websites
are Click Bank and Amazon Affiliates. There are many others, but these are the ones I am familiar
with. I’ll be putting out step by step videos on how to sign up and use some of these websites so
if you haven’t subscribed, now will be a good time to do that. Now if you go to the
description of any of my videos, you’ll see I have put a list of the video equipment I use.
All the links are amazon affiliate links so if anyone likes my video and wants to know which
camera I’m using so they buy one, like many of you have already reached out to me about,
when they click that link and buy the camera from Amazon, I will earn a commission. With this
method, it’s all about finding links to products that you believe your audience or friends will
be interested in buying and sharing the links with them. It could be on your YouTube channel,
on your twitter, IG, TikTok or Facebook pages. So get creative. When someone says charley,
I’m looking for where I can get this pair of sneakers to buy or do you know where I
can get strip lights to buy, be strategic. Go on to your amazon or click bank profile and
see if that product is available. Copy the affiliate link and send it to your friend,
off course with a bit of hype so he buys it. When he does buy it, you’ll earn your sweet commission.
The next way to make money with affiliate marketing is especially critical for those
who have YouTube channels or blogs. Create strategic videos or articles. If you make
videos about cooking or write a blog about interesting recipes, think about what products
and services your audience might need. Like a blender or special multipurpose microwave.
GO to Amazon or Click bank or do a simple google search to see if there are companies selling such
products that have an affiliate programme. Write a review of the product if you have a blog or create
a video about it if you have a YouTube channel. Make sure it’s a good product so you can highlight
and speak In glowing terms about it. Then leave your affiliate links for purchasing that product
in either your article or your video description. If your review is convincing enough, people will
click your link to buy the product and you’ll make your commission. And I used a cooking video or
blog as an example, but really it applies to any niche at all. If you have a tech channel where you
talk about the latest phones and gadgets, you can use the same strategy to review very good products
your audience will like and share your link in the article or video description
so that they use it to buy. If you have a beauty channel where you talk about hair and makeup,
use the same strategy. Find a veery good hair or makeup product to do a convincing review
about and share your link in that review. The list goes on and on. It is important to make
sure the video doesn’t come off as just an advertisement or people won’t want to watch.
That’s why I said you have to be strategic. Fuse it into talking about an interesting experience
where that product did X, Y, Z for you or someone you know. Tell an interesting story
and let that story you tell convince your reader or viewers to buy the product.
If you remember I did a review on Tigerwit a few years ago and made over $2000 from
the affiliate link I shared. It was part of a video on the best brokers in Ghana
and how many brokers do not allow you to deposit or withdraw with mobile money. And then I did
one on being scammed by fake forex brokers and how to identify and avoid fake brokers.
And that was then a perfect opportunity to talk about a really good broker. So this method works.
Another way to make money from affiliate marketing is this. IF YOU USE A PROUCT A LOT, SEARCH ONLINE
TO SEE IF THEY OFFER AN AFFILIATE PROGRAMME. If they do, get your own special affiliate link from
them and do this. Go to Quora.com or Reddit.com. These are websites where people ask questions and
leave threads or discussions that others can read and participate in. Use the search bar to search
for topics or questions around that product or service you want to market. Typically, such
questions may include, where can I buy the best blender or which forex broker is the best or where
can I get the special edition Nike sneakers? In the results, you will see discussions and threads
on those questions. Select the ones with the most engagement and contribute to the discussion,
making sure you’re recommending the product or service that you use and leaving the link
for others to try it out. Mind you some of these sites hate links and will block you so one thing
you can do is copy the link to a word document and attach that document to your post. For example,
you can say, I was also looking for this blender to buy some months ago because all those I had
gotten before didn’t last. So I spoke with an aunt who had spent over 30 years in the
hospitality industry and she told me about a very durable yet affordable blender from Smash the like
button store. They’ve been using it in all their restaurants for over 7 years and they’re still
going strong. Since getting mine, I have totally loved using it so if you’re interested, I’LL
attach a document with pictures of the blender so you check it out. I’M SURE YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO!
(I know some of you can write way better and more convincing stuff than this but this is
just an example) So in the word document, you’re going to add the pictures and the affiliate link.
Get the best and most beautiful pictures so that they really convince people to buy. If there’s a
discount or promotion going on, you can add in the document that if they use your link, they’re going
to get a special bonus or a percentage off. I don’t want to keep this video long so I’m sure you
get the idea. And I keep using the blender example but you can use it for any product or service.
Now, let me just put out some great benefits of affiliate marketing
and issue a warning. Number one, affiliate marketing is the easiest, hands-off way to make
money online. All you have to do is to lead new customers to a product or service and everything
else after that is legally not your problem to deal with. That means customer relations,
managing the business, etc. etc. is not your headache. Secondly, affiliate marketing is
a great way to literally make money while you sleep. Because it is passive income,
it gives you the opportunity to do other things as well. This means you can stay in your 9-5 job
or continue running your own business or just retire and travel the world while you make
money from your links. Finally, and here’s the warning, affiliative marketing is an
easy way to destroy your reputation and lose your integrity. If you become greedy and just share
links to bad products and services simply because you want to make money, you will shred your own
reputation into pieces and no one will ever take you serious again. I receive about 10 emails every
day from different companies and brands asking me to share their links and make commissions
but I am very careful to do my due diligence or I test out the product or service myself because
I know if I share a bad product, you my dear subscribers, will never forgive me. So I expect
you to also do your due diligence before sharing any links. Make sure you are sharing products that
are truly transformative and impactful. That way, the next time you come up with a recommendation,
people will be quick to jump on it since you have proven yourself to be a person of integrity.
So let me know which of the methods I have mentioned you’re going to use
in the comments. If you want a special video on a particular method, let me know too. I’m
already planning a video specifically on how to sign up as an amazon affiliate in Ghana.
But in the meantime SUBSCRIBE and check out my other videos. See you next time.
