Today, I'm gonna be showing you my $300 a day affiliate marketing strategy and show
you how anyone can copy it, step by step for free.
That's right! You won't need to use your credit card even once for this strategy!
Plus, you can do it from anywhere in the world! So do you want to know how I do it?
Well, the truth is that my affiliate marketing strategy is pretty simple.
What I do is I create video tutorials with different tips and tricks for my favorite apps
and websites that I use.
So take a video on this channel about the best online course platforms.
See here Tubebuddy, it's my Youtube SEO browser extension, it shows that this video
ranks on Youtube for many keywords like best online course platforms comparison and so on.
When I go to the detailed analytics of this video, you will see that it's been getting more
views over time, mainly from Youtube search. And you might have noticed that I made some
Adsense income with this video but it definitely isn't the biggest way this video is monetized.
You see, in the description for the video,
there is a list of links to the platforms that I reviewed and compared.
And they are of course, affiliate links, and they contain tracking
codes which track whether anybody clicks on my links and then purchases a subscription.
And if they do, I get a commission on the sale. For example,
my affiliate commissions that I earned with the first platfrom Thinkific are tracked in
the large affiliate network called Partnerstack. So far, I sold about $3000 worth of Thinkific
subscriptions and that's about $900 I earned in commissions. You can see here
almost $700 are already approved and $222 are pending - that's totally normal because
commissions are only approved once a month and people can make a purchase on any day.
Keep in mind these commissions are recurring meaning that for the most of these referrals,
I will keep earning commissions for many more months. Basically
for as long as referrals keep using Thinkific.
I also earned about $700 in commission from a different online course platform
also reviewed in the same video, and again it's not the end,
I will keep getting commissions for it in the future months.
So want to make the math with me? JUST so far, I made
$900 + $700 + $185 in ads on this video which is almost $2000 in total.
Now are you wondering why would someone click on my affilaiate links?
Well, in most cases people will actually click on your affiliate
links in the description below the video because
If they found your video it's because they were interested in a product
or an app that you covered. So it makes sense that they'd use the links you provided as a
fast way to get to the product instead of going to Google and searching for it there.
And b) After watching a free video that helped you, wouldn't you see a click on
the affiliate link as an easy way to thank the creator without having to spend money?
If you were going to purchase the product anyway, why not through this creator, right?
Plus, you know, when you help the creator,
he or she is motivated to keep making more free video tutorials that could further
help you with this product or other tools they might review in the future.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is NOT a strategy that will make you a millionaire
overnight. You've seen that my video didn't get all that amount of views in one day,
it's been on the platform for over 270 days and the views just keep growing.
And yes, it may not make you thousands of dollars overnight, but it's something
that creates a source of passive income, and affiliate commissions will keep coming from it
every month while I have done the work to record the video just once.
This is MY affiliate marketing strategy in a nutshell.
But now let's see how YOU can copy it for free.
Step 1. Pick the Niche
Let's go ahead and pick your perfect most profitable niche.
I know that a lot of people get stuck on this stage.
Because you could make videos on weight loss, food, pets, video games, art, home decor, music,
social media marketing, website development. There are just so many to choose from!
So how do you choose a profitable niche?
Well, when I chose what topics to cover on this channel, I consider two things.
The first thing is it WHAT I can't stop talking about.
Because it's easy to get a creator burn out if you are not really interested in the topic.
If you are not here to make a quick buck, if you are trying to build a business that
will make you money in the long run, then you should pick something you enjoy learning about.
Like for me it's Pinterest marketing, it's the way I've seen an explosive growth of
traffic to my own blogs, and I like to learn and evolve and know all about the platform.
So what can I promote in relation to Pinterest for example?
For one, I have several tutorials that show people how to use Taiwlind,
it's a scheduler for Pinterest.
I also often share my screen in the videos and show how I use Canva to create pins as
well as other tools to create short videos and upload them on Pinterest.
You can check these tools because I'll give you links to them in the
description below this video so you can see my affiliate marketing in action and well,
just in case you need these tools for yourself don't forget to sign up through my links :)
I have a video that should help you pick a niche because I covered in it my top
10 highest-paying affiliate programs. I'll also link to it in the description below.
Step 2. Find the Affiliate Program for your Product
If you have some ideas about the products you would love to promote, first use Google
to find if they have an affiliate program and if so, find out what is the commission rate.
Just make a search by including the brand name and the word affiliate program.
You'll find their page for affiliates. Some companies will have their private affiliate
programs but most of the brands are actually hosting their affiliate programs on one of
the large affiliate networks and maybe you should just point out their names for later:
1) Impact 2) Partnerstack
- these are just the biggest ones and the ones that I personally use all the time, both of them
have a ton of software brands and digital products that always have higher commission rates than you
could ever find with physical products. And in many cases, especially with software products, you
will get recurring commissions which means passive income for months or maybe even years to come!
But don't apply to these affiliate programs just yet. At least not if
you don't have any website or social media platform with some content on it already.
Creating a website usually means a lot of work and probably some expenses,
but I promised you this method can work for you entirely for FREE. So
keep watching and I'll show you what you can provide instead of the link to your
website when you submit your application for an affiliate network or program.
The great part about making reviews of the apps and tools as an affiliate is that you
most likely already have access to the app or the website you are going to promote.
So you don't need to pay for it. But even if it's not the case,
most of the companies offer a free trial so you could use it to create your tutorial
video. And you know what else is free? Giving me a thumb up if you enjoy this
video so far! And perhaps Subscribe to my channel if you want more content like this!
Step 3. Record Your Video Tutorial
Now, you'll also need a screen recorder app,
so that you can record yourself creating the tutorial video.
If you're using a computer or a laptop, then OBS Studio is a great free one that you can use.
On your phone, you could simply use the functionality of your phone to record
the screen. Or you could check a free app called X Recorder.
Next you need to pick which video site or platform that you're gonna upload your tutorials to.
If you're creating longer horizontal videos with your computer, kind of like this video,
then you should upload them to YouTube.
But perhaps, if you're a beginner, it might be easier for you to start with mobile video
because they can be much shorter! And you can upload them as YouTube Shorts,
as videos on TikTok, or as Instagram Reels.
You probably know that short vertical videos can be 60 seconds long atmax,
so it should be much easier for you to start with. If you compared it with an
average horizontal Youtube video which is usually about 10 minutes long, you could
basically produce 10 short vertical videos instead of just one long tutorial on Youtube.
Starting with short form content will also help you find the best topics that
take off on your account faster. You simply have so many more chances to win when you
try 10 different topics with short videos instead of just one topic in a long video.
Once you identified the best topics that worked great with the short videos,
you could then recreate them in longer more detailed tutorials for Youtube.
I can also tell you that short videos can be better simply because you can
reupload them to all the platforms including Youtube shorts, Tiktok, Instagram Reels,
and even to Pitnerest as video pins and as Idea pins. So you could try to reach
an audience on different platforms by re-usign the same exact video 4 times.
While if you work on the longer tutorials, they will be basically only for Youtube.
There is a lot of demand for tutorials even on Tiktok.
If you go on there and do a search, for example Notion Tutorials.
you'll see that there are lots of different videos that have gone viral, but have been uploaded
by small creators that have just showcased different tips
and tricks on how to use Notion better.
So let's say then that you had chosen
to create a video tutorial on Notion that you wanted to upload to TikTok.
What you could do is you could go to Google
and do a search for different Notion tips and tricks,
and then find a big blog post that lists a bunch of them
and crosscheck them and see which ones don't yet have a tutorial on TikTok.
And then you go ahead and you make that tutorial video.
Lots of people would prefer to watch a video
tutorial rather than read a blog post with screenshots.
And so you are helping people discover tips and tricks that they would not have known otherwise.
Plus, if you are talking about an app that you personally have used for while,
you might know some tricks for it that others don't.
For example, as I am big on Pinterest, I could show in a very short video that Canva is not just
graphic design tool, but it also has a built-in scheduler for social media, including Pinterest.
And so if you are already using a Canva Pro account, you could save
some money and use Canva instead of an additional social media scheduler!
What I would show in the video is simply the process after creating a pin,
you click here on Share then instead of just downloading the file, I will chose
Share on Social and then click on Schedule. Then select the platform, in my case I connected my
Pinterest account and that's it! So this is how you could make a short video with a Canva trick.
Now, you need to have a few of these tutorials uploaded on your video platform. Why?
Because on the next step you will need to submit an application to
join affiliate programs for the products you want to promote.
Remember I mentioned that IF you don't have a website,
you won't be able to apply for affiliate programs. NOW you can do it! Because now you
can give a link to your social media profile instead, and it was entirely free to create!
Once you get accepted, you'll then get access to your affiliate links, which
you can then paste into your video description. If you uploaded the video tutorials to TikTok,
you could even add your affiliate links in your account profile.
Now people can click on your links and you can make money!
If you start with tutorials for just one product, you could have just one link in the profile. But
if you start recording more tutorials on different tools, you could use something like Linktree.
Well, I actually used another similar tool on my Instagram account, it's called Koji.
It makes it super easy to create a mobile friendly page that lists different links
that you have. It's free as well, and I'll drop a link for you in the description below!
Now when people click on your profile link,
they can access many different affiliate links instead of just one.
Congratulations, you just copied my exact affiliate marketing strategy!
