like the video okay guys let's talk about what affiliate marketing is first off affiliate
marketing is when an online retailer of a service or a product something like that is willing to
pay you a commission based on a sale that they get so what you're essentially doing is you're sending
them a customer and you're getting paid on it there's a whole lot less risk for somebody who is
paying out affiliates than there is for somebody who's paying out on clicks so if something like
google adsense or something like that they'll pay you based on clicks but the problem with that
is they aren't assured of sales so they're going to pay a whole lot lower commission on affiliate
marketing you can get 10 20 30.
Sometimes things like clickbank will pay you 90 or 100 so that's
pretty cool to get a payout that big okay so check it out here's the first step in doing this
the first step is finding a product that you want to market and i would suggest the first thing
to do is market products you already use now i use cartridge for all my marketing karcher is a
fantastic piece of software i recommend it and guess what down in the description you're going to
find a link to kartra that link you can actually watch a video for free and if you like cartridge
you can sign up for a dollar now if you sign up for a dollar and you decide to stay i get a small
commission for that but here's the key i will only talk about products that i actually use and like
i don't do affiliate marketing for anybody else like right now i have some lights here and
cameras some equipment different things in the description you will find links to all
those things on amazon so if you click those links and go to amazon and buy some of those products i
get a small commission but also you are cookied so if you go to amazon and buy anything else go buy
all you want because i actually get a commission on anything you buy once you use my link down
there but that's an example of me marketing something that i already use number two look for
products that other people are already affiliates for that you respect so if there's somebody in
your industry maybe it's photography maybe it's sewing maybe it's cooking look at what they're
representing for affiliate products check out those products if you like those products that's
a great way for you to find products to sell i've done that in the past where i've seen somebody i
really respected and i saw some of the things they recommended whether it be a software or whatever
and i would go out and try that product and if i like that product guess what i'm going to be an
affiliate for that product too now let me show you on the screen how you can find if a product's an
affiliate product let's jump over there right now right here i've got wp beginner and as you notice
there's a special hosting offer right here and if you look below that when you hover over it you see
down there where it says bluehost.com track and then it's got some letters and stuff that is their
tracking id which tells me that is an affiliate offer right there and that's something that i
could also offer to my audience number three is you can join affiliate networks i'm a member
of several affiliate networks um and they're very helpful and what an affiliate network is is it's a
portal it's where a whole bunch of people who have products who are willing to pay affiliates can
put their product and a lot of people who want to be an affiliate can join it and have access to
all these different products some examples of that are commission junction clickbank is another
big one i'm also a member of share sale i have my products there and i'm also an affiliate for
products on share sale so any of those are really good to find because you don't have to worry about
payouts or anything you know that that affiliate network is going to be paying you and you're
going to get paid on every sale so you don't have any problems with stuff like that but use
some you know respected affiliate networks i have other videos on this channel if you just search
affiliate in the search bar on my channel you can find other videos on this too number four reach
out to companies of products and services that you already use now normally you can go to a website
for a company look down in the bottom and try to find a link that says affiliates and that will
generally tell you about their affiliate program however if they don't have that on their website
you can directly send them an email and say hey i like your products i like your services been using
them for years i would like to be an affiliate for your company do you have a program like that and
they can respond and let you know what they have available okay so we've gone over the basics let's
get a little bit more in depth now the first thing i want to talk about is picking products of
high quality pick products of high quality i often will get emails from people who want me to
do a sponsored video or talk about their product and be an affiliate for it and i don't know the
product and i haven't used the product i don't know anything about it so my suggestion to you
is find products that you think are super high quality keep in mind if you do recommend a product
or service and your audience clicks and they go to there and they buy that product and it's inferior
it's a poor product now you are the person who recommended it okay so that's going to hurt your
reputation so it's super important number one is to pick products of high quality number
two add highly useful and valuable content so i could talk about kartra and i could say get
cartridge it's a great great software it's down in the description below you ought to click on it you
ought to watch the video and you ought to buy it but what i also do on my channel is i do a lot
of videos on kartra showing people how good it is how well it works if you were to search
my channel right now and you type in cartra on my videos you're going to find a bunch of
videos on kartra and i give you good content i show you what it can do i show you how it can
help you i show you how it can make you money in doing so people are more apt to click the link
and actually go there and buy the product thus as an affiliate i'll make a little bit of money
number three always keep your audience in mind now what i mean by that is don't offer products
that aren't going to bring value to your audience my audience is learning how to start running grow
businesses online so since that is their interest i may talk to them about seo products i may talk
to them about web hosting i may talk to them about finances and that type of thing but if i was
running let's say a cooking channel okay i wouldn't be offering them things having to do
with finance or credit cards or anything like that because it doesn't match the niche make sure
any affiliate offers that you are offering your audience actually match your niche and have good
value to your audience and match the audience the audience is number one you guys are number
one now for those of you who have a wordpress website i want to share with you some plugins
that can really help you out let's go over to my computer real quick and i want to show these to
you the first one is called thirsty affiliates uh manually adding links to your content becomes
quite difficult as your site grows okay it's gonna get bigger and bigger so what you have to do is
copy the url with your affiliate id every time you mention the product and paste it into wordpress
this is where thirsty affiliates can help you it's an affiliate link management plugin that
allows you to easily add affiliate links in wordpress it also will let you change lengthy
affiliate links into cloaked pretty links which are more user friendly thirsty affiliates also
has the option to automatically replace keywords with affiliate links which can significantly
help you boost your affiliate revenue now the next one i want to talk about is add sanity
let's go over and look at add sanity real quick okay add sanity is the best i mean really the
best wordpress management plugin tool there is and it's a must-have for every affiliate
marketer's toolbox what it's going to do is it'll allow you to create banners okay from your
wordpress website and manage them from a single dashboard now that's pretty cool add sanity also
makes it easy to insert ads into your wordpress post pages you know sidebar widgets any of that
you can use it to manage your third-party ads like google adsense and ads and banners as well for
detailed instructions all you got to do is go to add sanity and you can read all about it so when i
got started i didn't know anything about affiliate marketing i had no clue didn't know anything
about it nowadays i look back and i say my gosh i wish i had started sooner so if you're watching
this video now you need to start now because what happens with affiliate marketing is it builds
your audience is going to build it's going to get bigger as long as you work okay your audience
is going to get bigger and the bigger the audience is the more they're going to be exposed to your
affiliate links which means the more things they can buy and the more money you're going to make in
addition to that you know i have products that i sell that i have affiliates for now so that's
worked out well for me i've joined different affiliate networks like share sale and clickbank
and all those things and when you start piling all these things on after time they start to build up
and they start to make you more and more and more money having affiliate links for a few products
is great but you know they're by themselves they aren't going to make you much money but imagine if
you had 50 of them or 100 or a thousand affiliate links out there that that that income could
generate so much money for you on a monthly basis that you wouldn't have to worry about anything
else your actual business would just be gravy on top of your affiliate money i see some people
that make thousands and thousands of dollars a month just off affiliate links and that's aside
from their business and the other thing this does having these affiliate links is it smooths out
your income you know you know selling online is kind of an up and down thing we have a survival
food company and depending on the time of year depending on who's you know politically in office
depending on what world events are going on people are concerned about survival food and then
they aren't and then they are and then they aren't so that's something that can affect that
business but having the affiliate money kind of smooths out those up and downs
in the survival food industry now i also have you know spread out and i've gotten into
teaching people how to make money online too and that's added to my arsenal of things okay i
can market other products to my customers because i have another list for people who are looking
to make money online so don't just pigeonhole yourself into one area make sure there's other
things out there that you can make money on because there's always going to be affiliate links
out there you can always sell something through an affiliate network you know by doing so you're
just going to have so much extra money coming in now i hope this has helped you out i hope you
