thank you for taking the time to check out this
course i created this course for anybody that's interested in affiliate marketing and also
for people who are interested in building a list and what i'm going to be talking about
today is the affiliate funnel you may have heard about it but what i've noticed is that a lot
of people who build affiliate funnels don't do it properly so i'm going to be talking about how to
do it properly in this course and i'm going to show you the step-by-step process of building it
now if you don't know what an affiliate funnel is or even what a funnel is don't worry i'll
be talking about that in the following video in the later videos i'm also going
to show you how to drive traffic to your funnel and also how to promote affiliate
products to your list and how to scale up so with that said i look forward to seeing you in the next
video all right so let's talk about the affiliate funnel now first of all if you don't know
what a funnel is it's basically a system or a strategy of trying to get leads into your
business and you're trying to close a sale during the process and also building a
relationship during this process and a funnel is used by both offline and online businesses
now in the internet marketing world the typical internet marketing funnel will look like this
it'll be a squeeze page or a landing page that a lead will first see and this is where
you offer them something for free in return for their email address okay and this free gift
can be anything it can be a free ebook a software a checklist free video and if you don't like
creating products you could always hire someone to do it for you or you can just buy the rights
to a product you could buy the giveaway rights the reseller rights or the private label rates okay
or you actually don't even have to buy a lot of these rights are offered for free you can just
do a google search for plr or giveaway rights or resell rights and after they sign up for the free
gift they'll automatically be brought to a page where you offer them something for sale something
related to the free product and then after if they do decide to purchase that product they'll be
brought to another page which is called an upsell page where you could try to sell them another
product related to the other products and your funnel and some funnels can have several upsells
for me personally i feel comfortable just having two or three upsells you could also have a down
cell where if someone turns down or rejects your upsell they'll be offered a downsell offer
which is basically for the same product but at a lower price point and with just less benefits so
for example they just won't get the bonuses that were offered in the original upsell offer now the
problem with building funnels is that it is time consuming so that's what's great about affiliate
funnels the quickest way to monetize a funnel is just to promote affiliate products in
the funnel and you don't have to worry about creating products and also you don't even have to
worry about the customer support because you're promoting someone else's product and if you're
an affiliate marketer this is what you should be doing anyways because it's a lot more effective
than driving traffic directly to affiliate offers and besides it usually takes several exposures
to an offer before someone buys so by collecting leads you can follow up with them and send them
more follow-ups and increase your conversions now to increase your chances of success with this
type of funnel you should try to have a consistent theme throughout the funnel so
for example your squeeze page should look like the affiliate products sales page
and have the same headline and bullet points you should also have a bridge page that again has text
similar to that of the sales page i'll show you an example of a bridge page in a later video now
here i am on warriorplus.com this is a great site for finding affiliate products in the internet
marketing niche and make money online niche so since i'm building a funnel that
is related to making money online and i'm looking for something that has mass
appeal for the general public you know i would go to this site this is my favorite site for
finding products related to making money online so if you want to look for products on here you
could just find the top products here on the home page the top 10 products of the day yesterday
last seven days and also the last 30 days so let's click on that okay but what i prefer is i like to
go to affiliates click on that and click on offers okay and then you brought to a page with all the products the top selling products sorted by
the top selling i'm not i'm actually not sure how it's sorted here but you could sort it
out by sales conversion rate visitor value and there's let's just go down here there's about
five thousand results that you could go through and browse okay by just looking at the top
here profiteer um it's it was launched on july 22 so that would be last month so it's not
too old of an offer over 3 thousand sales conversion rate fifteen percent visitor value of
three dollars sixty nine cents so all these are good numbers and i like the fact that it's not
an old product uh refund rate is three percent um that's not bad as well okay i could go down
the list here but let's just say i'm going to go with this offer here profiteer click on this
first i'd have to try to learn more about it let's see what it says here this is the affiliate
page so you click here to request approval you can view the sales page here and here's a quick
description of the product make consistent three plus figure daily profits and scale as high as you
want without paid traffic or any tech skills so this is something that i feel would be of interest
to the general public and would have a mass appeal okay so if i want any promotional tools i would go
to the jv page okay and let's just click on this okay i'm also going to view the sales
page just to make sure it's something that i would want to promote and to just
to get an idea of what the the angle is so let's look at the headline here it says bank
and effortless 150 dollars per day starting in as little as 24 hours from right now without
paid traffic or any experience so again this looks like something that would have mass appeal
pro people who are looking to make money online and have no experience would probably be
interested in a product such as this it says here fast start making 150 per day so who wouldn't
be interested in making money online quickly okay and it says friendly zero experience or tech
skills needed so if i feel this is the product i'm gonna go ahead and add to my funnel i'm just gonna
go to the affiliate page here and click on request approval okay and another thing too is you could
also see all the products that are in this funnel that you're going to be promoting okay you're
getting 100 commissions on the front end which is 12 dollars 94 cents and then you can see all these
other offers that you can get paid commissions on okay so not only does it have mass appeal but it
looks like it's something that i could get paid a lot of commissions on so i'm going to go ahead
and click on or request approve now that we have an affiliate product to promote in our funnel
what we're going to do is we're going to take parts of the sales page of that affiliate product
and copy it onto our squeeze page so that we have a consistent theme so what i'm going to do here
is on the sales page of this affiliate product i'm going to copy the headline the pre-headline and
i'm also going to take some of these screenshots of how much money have been earned okay so
here is the squeeze page that i quickly created um for this squeeze page i use click funnels which
is a great tool that i highly recommend um if you cannot afford it there are many other cheap tools
online and you could even create a squeeze page for free but for this example i'm using click
funnels and i was able to create it in a few minutes i copied and pasted the headlines as you
can see here there's a an opt-in form here already and i've pasted on the text where it says look how
much money we're making with the profiteer system and i've put the images of the earnings on the
bottom okay so when somebody opts in here they're gonna be brought to a page uh called the bridge
page okay so it's gonna say thanks for signing up john smith here or whatever your name is it says i
look forward to helping you in your online journey if you have any questions you can reach
me at insert your email address here and it says in the meantime make sure to sign up for
my facebook mastermind group so i can personally help you better and here is a link to the facebook
mastermind group now this is completely optional but the advantage of having a facebook mastermind
group is that your subscribers will get to know you better and they'll be able to engage better
and as a result of that when you promote affiliate products to them in the future they're more likely
to click on your emails and click on your links okay but again this is optional and if you don't
want to do a facebook mastermind group you could do something else similar to that for example if
you have a blog you could say check out my blog or check out my blog post on this and so on okay and
on the bottom of this again i pasted the headlines of the sales page okay it says bank and effortless
150 dollars per day and here i have a button and click to continue so there's a link here it's
my affiliate affiliate link so when people click on this they'll be brought to the official sales
page of the affiliate product and if they do buy i will get commissions okay and
again if you keep scrolling down again i pasted parts of the sales page here and
again there's a button here click here to continue and if you click on that it's uh it will direct
them to the affiliate prompt now that you have a funnel let's start driving traffic to it there
are several types of traffic sources out there and so in this video i'm just going to go through
a couple of them my favorite traffic method at the moment is solo ads for those who don't
know a solo ad is when you pay another marketer to promote your offer to their list of subscribers
so they will email their list and promote your offer you could buy a solo ad for 100 clicks
50 clicks 200 clicks or even 1 000 clicks and more depending how much you can afford my
favorite place for finding solo ad vendors or solo ad sellers is on udemy.com there are
other websites and networks out there where you could find solo ad vendors and you could
even find some on facebook i'm sure there's facebook groups out there where you can find solo
ad vendors you could also go on google and just try to find other product sellers or just website
owners that are in your niche and see if they have or contact them and ask them if they have an
email list that they can promote your offer to okay another site you could go to is clickbank.com
clickbank.com is is an affiliate network but you could contact product owners there and ask them
if they can do a solo ad with you because with clickbank you know you know that these people
are building a buyer's list and the buyers list is five to ten times more responsive
than a list of freebie seekers okay now if you cannot afford solo ads you can use
free traffic methods such as social media i'm sure most of people nowadays are in social
media you could use facebook twitter etc and try to get a viral post going okay lastly
the last traffic method i want to talk about is blogging just set up a blog you can set up a free
blog using free tools out there you could also set up a nice blog if you want to pay for
a domain and just install wordpress okay so set up a blog a blog daily every couple of
days or even just on a weekly basis and eventually you'll have a following and you could build a
list through blogging you could have links to that link to your affiliate funnel now
that you have traffic coming to your funnel and you're building a list of subscribers it's
time to start promoting affiliate offers to your subscribers but first make sure that you set
up a series of automated emails that go to your subscribers immediately after they subscribe so
for example on day one they could have a thank you email and provide a link to your blog or facebook
mastermind group or work whatever it is so that they can get to know you better okay so it's you
want to start off on the right foot with your new subscribers and then you could have an email
come out on the second day after they subscribed and which is basically a follow-up asking them if
they've checked out that affiliate product that you recommended in your affiliate funnel okay and
then day number three you could send out an email an automated email that provides some tips so you
could alternate uh every other day you could have one day where you provide content and the next
day could be a follow-up recommending that they check out that affiliate offer in your funnel
so you you'd want to have anywhere between 5 to 10 of these emails in your autoresponder now
if you don't have an autoresponder account what i recommend is getresponse i've been using
getresponse since i started internet marketing another autoresponder company that you could use
is aweber that's one of the the top autoresponder companies as well and there are several others
that you could use so you could just do your research test them out and some of these companies
do offer free trials but for now i recommend get response after your subscribers have
received all of your automated emails you can start promoting new affiliate offers to them and
for that i would recommend going to munchai.com to find upcoming product launches if you're not
sure how to write promotional emails or you're not confident uh for now you could just subscribe
to other marketers lists so that you could receive their emails and you can see how they write their
emails and then you could get ideas and maybe copy the the way that they write the promotional emails
but make sure that you have your own personality in your emails a lot of people who are new
to affiliate marketing and email marketing often ask how often should they email their list
and you know depends on who you ask you'll get different answers for me personally i do try
to email my list every day because i look at it like you could compare it to hotel business
if you have a hotel you want to make sure that all your rooms are booked every day if you
don't if one of your rooms or suites is vacant you're losing money so that's the way i look at
my email list if if i have a day where i don't send out an email promoting something i feel like
i'm losing money on that day of course if i don't find any good quality products to promote if
i can't find anything that's worth promoting i just won't say anything on that day but even
then i could try to send a follow-up email for for another affiliate offer that i promoted uh
the previous day or earlier in the week your goal should be that whenever you drive traffic to your
funnel you should be getting affiliate sales you can then reinvest your profits back into buying
more traffic and as a result continue to build your list now if you're getting a lot of opt-ins
but your affiliate offer is not converting then it may be time to change the affiliates offer okay
however if things are going great you don't really have to change things it's always good to improve
on your funnel as well so when you have time you can add your own upsells to the funnel okay so
you could create a product that's related to the field offer and sell it in one of the upsells
you can even just use a private label rights product for the upsell if you don't know what
private label rights is or plr basically these are products that you can buy and you have the right
to edit the content and also claim yourself as the author of the product and gradually over time
you can add more offers to the funnel and to your back end such as in your autoresponder follow-ups
to increase the customer value and your cash flow
