 Hopefully we're on right now. I'm not sure if we're on So how's it sound testing one two three. I don't know it was I just checked it. We're on all right. So I'm mute follow Here we are. I'm Jim from the side hustle shuffle here on Amazon here on Facebook Twitter I believe we're still on YouTube as well. We're talking about passive income We're talking about making money while you sleep. Okay. Have you heard about making money while you sleep? Are you interested in learning how to make money while you sleep? You think that's A baloney story. Do you think that's full of my full of gas? Can you make money in your sleep? Well, you know, you can but it's not what you think sitting on the beach never doing anything You can't never do any work. Okay, you have to make it a small effort today Sort of potential to earn income in the future. Now, that's the passive income I'm talking about not talking about never working again. Okay, unless you're a trust fund baby and you live in what dividends Okay, that's the only thing that that's really a Passive income where you never have to work again living what dividends and that's not me. I don't know if that's you but anyhow, I was talking about the YouTube channel and told my putting a affiliate links in YouTube videos So YouTube if you get 1,000 subscribers to 5,000 4,000 watch hours 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers, then you can start getting getting money for the ads They run on your YouTube videos. Okay See Sorry about that So you get money you get money for the ads that come on you on your videos So but you have to have you have to reach that threshold, but you can also put affiliate links in your descriptions so People click those links and you know what's called cookie to that link and then where wherever they buy you would get a commission for People use Amazon people use and you can you could be an affiliate for anything Pick a product pick a pick a company scroll down to the bottom of their website and on the bottom in the footer There'll be something work with us partner with us affiliate program You know something like that and you just click it and apply and you can promote that product on a YouTube channel and Get a commission every time you sell it. Okay, we're gonna go further on and deeper in but the original hot pops I saw this of the hot pop popcorn thing right now. I got it on my you on my Amazon channel, right? So Amazon I'm gonna share this channel right now So I'm an Amazon influencer and I became an Amazon influencer because I was able to be an Amazon I was a billy being influencer on YouTube. So here's my Amazon page Now I make money from people to click the links on here And I have a store down here and down here is where I go live and over here is a video for the popper Right, so people will watch the video So meet people would watch the video for the popper and click the link and then if they bought the popper I would get a commission. That's affiliate marketing and that's passive income I made that video a couple of weeks ago, you know, and So anytime someone watches it from now on that's the passive income I'm trying to talk about now Yeah, I did I did an effort a while ago and now over and over again however many times people are gonna be watching that video I'm gonna get an affiliate commission every time. All right, and the popper was really good I mean the thing that popped it really good. There was no kernels in the bottom I was pretty amazed at how good it was and I sped up the video pretty quickly so, you know, you should we won't wait much look much longer But that's the Amazon Influencer program that don't get that confused with the Amazon affiliate program because that's when you put the affiliate links in in your YouTube videos That's the Amazon affiliate program. Okay, so Let's go back over here now Okay, and so that's using Amazon and Amazon videos to make money. That's one passive income I showed you the YouTube we can go back over to the YouTube channel pretty quickly If I share my screen again, and I can show you that because I we got cut off I was I was live a few minutes ago and then we my audio was crappy and I got cut off So, I mean if for whatever reason You can't hear me. Let me know in the chat because I'm having funky funky stuff going out my audio So here's my YouTube channel and I got I got up Which is one of my YouTube channels and I got a bunch of review videos on them And so here's the one for the light-up desk and that's what I had done before so There's there's the commercial there's the ad that gets played before my video I'm gonna get a commission if someone clicks the ad I get a commission on that so now Down here is the affiliate link now they click that it's gonna bring them to Amazon so you click that Now I think that we just changed Yeah, so if I can go I gotta share the screen again, so we got to go like this and share the screen and it was There we go and then it brings you right to this page when you click that link All right, and then they would buy it and I would get an affiliate commission. All right, so That's affiliate marketing using YouTube Okay putting an affiliate link into the into the description and you can make videos on whatever it is Could be a chainsaw could be a toaster it could be whatever it is and you you know the lighting system I just had and then that link brings you to the lighting system. Now. Here's the beauty. I told you about the cookies, right? So once you get once they you send traffic to Amazon Anything they buy within 24 hours you get a commission for not just what you sent them for whatever they push that link whatever they click that link they went to Amazon for Driving the traffic there you're gonna get anything they buy 24 hours. You're gonna get a commission on all right So that's why people and here it is too you're using Amazon's name now Amazon is the big kahuna You know if nobody worries about putting their credit card in when they shop on Amazon matter of fact when they go to Amazon They're looking forward to using their credit card They got their credit card out already because they have the intent to buy when they go to Amazon, right? So people click the link go to Amazon and they're welcome there. They feel like okay. I can trust this website I can buy something it's not like you're sending them to some third-party website, you know So don't get confused, you know with with with different affiliate programs of Amazon is is Like I said, it's the big player, you know, it's it's you're using the name You piggybacking the Amazon name in order to make money to leverage their name and it works really well So another thing that we got we got the Holleystone drone this was something that was sent to me for free and you know as Influencers from time to time brand send you stuff to review for free. They sent me this drone. I said, you know, I'm a terrible drone pilot I'm really not that good. I'm gonna crash the drone. They were like, don't worry about it. We're gonna send it to you It's very user-friendly, right? And I said well, I'm gonna take it out of the box and I'm gonna just give it a try and we'll see what happens, right? So I think it was on We're gonna we'll go to the Instagram page. All right, so you can use any social media for this passive income, right? So we're gonna go to the Instagram page next Okay, we're on the Instagram page now. These are all reviews as a basketball There's a dog bed the cat bed dog bed, but we got this the review for the drone now it's gonna play the video right now you got a description and Up here you got the link now they got to cut and paste the link But if you go into your Into your bio is the link that they really you can link to the store But here's the thing so if you go up to the search bar up here and you search the Hashtag so the hashtag is a best first drone holly stone or best okay, so we let's click that what comes up my videos So if they're gonna search best first drone holly stone My videos come up and that you know and this is just a rudimentary rudimentary example of course could be any hashtag you make a hashtag for yourself so that you know You're gonna come up. All right, and then you know you're you're Driving traffic to your video with Dutch house tag. All right, and that's with the Instagram. So again, we did YouTube Instagram of an Amazon all passive income not sitting on the beach never working again But you make a couple of videos you make one video a day at the end of the year You have 356 videos right once you have that many videos, you know you start Making money you just I mean it's it's just inevitable. It's volume right so and that's again YouTube is probably the best one if I was gonna give you advice to try one just because you also have the added the ads on The the ad revenue that you're gonna get so you're gonna get once one source of income is gonna be the ad revenue Another source of income is gonna be the affiliate revenue Right, and then if you make a course and you can sell other items You can there's all types of things you can make money on you want to have multiple streams of income coming in right and that's a That's the way to make money online multiple streams of income So it's not it's not make million dollars anymore, okay? It's not you know millionaire overnight, you know put a product online and make a million dollars It's starting income stream. It makes a hundred dollars this month, right? You start another one. So this one's making a hundred dollars every month You started it now this one over here you started making a hundred dollars now This one's making 150 so then you start a third one. So then now this one's making 150 This one's making 100 this one's making 100 Then a couple it just keeps going right and it keeps getting better and better and better before you know You're paying bills with this money and it's life changing. It's life changing stuff. It's life changing stuff So I was looking for a set of work lights for my work truck. I'm a I have a day job and So because you know went to time everything gets dark early so the back of the truck I needed a magnetic light so so I can stick it on to the magnetic part of the truck And I have light in the back of the truck so I sent out and I got it and it came in the mail and I came in this little box little box to two flashlights I said, oh man, this isn't gonna be good. This is gonna be good at all, but I Said to myself it doesn't have to be big if it's if it if it works the way I want it to work It'll be fine. So here it is okay, and it's got full motion all the way around it goes all the way around all the way around right Pretty cool It's very bright super bright and it's got three settings on it and it's got the front flashlight on it and the magnetic part is just Unbelievable I I ride around in the truck with it sticking on the side of the truck in the back of the bed And it doesn't fall off It's still it stays there all day and then at the end of the day I turn it on to see what's going on in the back of my truck and there's two of them So I only need I I only use one of them on the truck now because the light is so strong I thought I was gonna need two of them one on each side I only need one so this one I use I keep this one down by my furnace because you always need a magnetic light by your furnace You're gonna change the filter on the furnace. Just you click, you know snap that right on there perfect This is the perfect light for that right I Gotta get used to being Backwards but and again I was disappointed in the size of the box But the lights really impressed me and there's two of them and they're rechargeable. That's the key USB rechargeable so they're never dead you plug it in and it's always ready to go and you know Have to worry about dead batteries ever and that's the wave of the future No, no more batteries. You know if you bought stock and door sell back in the day, you're in trouble, buddy So we're gonna do The work life right good thing So passive income are you looking for the holy grail are you looking for the missing link? Are you looking to make money on the beach? You're looking for passive income? I never want to work again I want to sit on the beach and I want to watch the waves come in and I just want to make money Right, that's what passive income is that's what they thought That's what I thought passive income was when I first started looking into it in 2010 When I saw people with their caviar dreams and their mansions and their and their jet planes And they were trying and they were selling courses and this and that and and they were selling They were drop shipping on Facebook and making a killing on Facebook and I thought everybody was doing it It was all smoke and mirrors. It was all smoke and mirrors Um So the next item in the carousel on Amazon so again, we're on Amazon. We're on Facebook. We're on Twitter We're on YouTube and the Amazon carousel isn't on the Amazon We've got the products that I'm talking about and the Amazon So come on over to Amazon if you're interested in that and that that would be at Amazon.com slash shop slash you didn't know okay, so if you want to come there come there now All right, um and of course you got my you didn't know that live is my website All right, we're gonna I'll show you more about the website in a little while um But we're talking about the the full motion TV monitor and we're talking about passive income the next item The next item the next platform. We're gonna talk about Pinterest Okay, Pinterest is a search engine as well as just like YouTube's a search engine So so Instagram use hashtags to find what you're looking for on Pinterest and and YouTube the search engine So I'm gonna go I'm gonna share the screen again. We're gonna go to Pinterest and I'm gonna show you You know anybody can do this. It's easy stuff. Okay, so here I am on Pinterest I'm gonna get rid of that. You didn't know get out of there for now all right and so Got all these items done here's the drone. We looked at right All these pet stuff that I looked at so we're gonna look at this one here All right, so this is the full motion TV mount like I use it outside in the summertime On my deck and I can switch it all the way around to the other side full motion. It's really good awesome It's on sale. It's on the $20. You can't beat this price on this thing It's really awesome. It depending on the size of the TV. This one works really well But anyway talking about Pinterest so now Pinterest is here and over here is the Amazon link So when they click this they send them to Amazon and again, I'm cooking with the Amazon Associates program. I'm cookie to anything they buy within 24 hours on Amazon. All right now passive income is I made this video a while back and I'm still have the potential to make money on this video in the future anytime someone searches TV mount full Best full motion TV mount this will come up in the search And if they watch it and they go to the the link then I'm gonna make Affiliate commission on Amazon. Okay, and that's the way passive income works today not Sitting on the beach never doing anything you make a video. It doesn't be video. It could be content, you know, Instagram. It's photos Facebook is photos Facebook groups you can do photos So it doesn't have to be video, but it doesn't always have to be your face in the video either You can be filming the product, you know with with just your hands and there's all different ways to do overhead cameras Where they don't see your face you if you don't want to be on camera. You don't have to be it's pretty awesome when you think about it you you do a little effort today and infinitely in the future that video can be found as long as it's a product that's still sold on Amazon and again I didn't say at the beginning to go down to bottom of Amazon and sign up for the Amazon Associates program If you want to be an associate for Amazon, and I'm gonna show you in a second. Okay, if I go to my Amazon page again Because I'm gonna show you the stripe So up here on the top is what's called the site stripe and when you pull down the text It's gonna give you the affiliate link to whatever product is on that page Okay, so you would take that link. That's the link that I get to put in all my videos So whatever product I have whatever product I'm using I Amazon associate Amazon affiliate Amazon associate us on the associate program You'll get this stripe up there And then you press the text button and that's your link and anything that when you send traffic through that link you get Cookies for 24 hours. All right, so that's that That's that okay That's the Amazon associate program and that's how you get it you get that link from there And you put that in your social media whether it's YouTube whether it's Pinterest whether it's Instagram Where it's on Amazon as well We're gonna go through a couple other things but the next item in there in the Amazon Camera cell is gonna be a camera that I bought. I was looking for a cheap alternative to go pro camera. I needed a backup secondary second camera and This is it. This is the camera right here. So a Casio, it's always at the EK 7000 so far. I've used it a couple times I don't we crashed at the beginning of this show and I Lost my where I had the photos. I don't know if I'll be able to find them No No, but take my word for it. It's pretty cool little camera. I got some Scenery photos that I took and it comes with all of the same Mounts and gadgets for the helmet for the bike for the car for all that stuff comes with two batteries are Pretty cool very good stuff and I'm playing around when it's still but I like it so far I was using it as a b-roll camera and a backup camera I got some film of some mountains that I was by yesterday I'm up in the North Country Northern New York above Lake Placid I think so I got some nice mountain pictures up there and still snow caps on the top really nice and I Really wish I could show you I don't have it pulled up And it would be awkward for me to be mumbling around while looking for it in my computer But I'll have it next time but that's a that's something I bought for myself again It's on sale. You can't beat it under $70. How much is a GoPro camera? I mean, I really wish I could figure out where I could find that Um It's gonna take me too long to figure it out. Maybe not I got it. Aren't you lucky? All right Give me one more second I appreciate you sticking with me. Okay, so this is the Acacio Camera in the mountains that are where I was yesterday up chest of town area I think it was or no is Indian Indian Lake So that's the Casio cameras not a bad picture not a bad picture at all and Uh, so I think it was worth the $70 for it and it's got all kinds of Settings on it a slow motion camera. It's got on it. You can take pictures or or video Um, I can turn around and look for pictures Give you an example of one picture. I got a couple of them, but It's not a bad little camera. I mean seriously, so there there you go another picture Some mountains in the background Pretty cool nice picture. I mean you got to realize it was a gray day So the the colors don't pop because there was no color It was a gray day this northern new york in the winter time and it's pretty gray You don't have a choice But I'll be getting some springtime pictures in a couple of weeks and we'll see we'll see all the bright colors And it would be really good. All right, so but I'm happy with it. It was what it's doing what I needed to do It's not, you know, it's not my go-to camera. It's my backup camera It's fits in my pocket and it's really cool. I'm happy with it. Um Passive income right passive income. What is passive income sitting on the beach not doing any work? No passive income is doing something today And you have the potential to earn stuff in the future Okay, you have the potential to earn over and over again from your efforts from today, right? That's what passive income is today. So you got your youtube channel. We went over we went over instagram We went over Pinterest We went over and amazon we were using the amazon associates program to use the amazon link in the associate program to Generate traffic to amazon and in doing so we get cookied and we get anything they buy for 24 hours We get a commission on that's the amazon associates program It works really well and again you're using the amazon name People go to amazon to buy stuff the hardest part to make money online and you can ask anybody Is traffic and it's not just traffic. It's warm traffic Okay, you have to have somebody ready to buy you have to warm them up ready to buy and it takes It takes some doing to do that takes some skills to do that Sales funnels and all kinds of stuff like that. We're going to show you sales funnel in a little while but um In the meantime Amazon's done all of that for you Okay, and so they've already done all this all all the sales marketing so that their pages optimize And so when people go there they're ready to buy and people are confident they ready they feel confident to put their credit card in on amazon and uh You're not sending them to some other website where they're like, I really don't know if I want to put my credit card in You know amazon they're ready to buy perfect stuff So I mean there's plenty of programs you could be an affiliate for i'm just using amazon as an example Because it's probably the easiest thing to get started with but there's plenty of and higher commission stuff too I mean I have other stuff that i'm affiliates for and other streams of income that I have that are higher interests uh Commissions higher commissions, you know, but again, I'm showing you probably the easiest way to get started with the amazon associates program. Um The next item in the Is this the ubrese extendable uh tripod this thing is pretty cool pretty awesome. Um You want to say any of it I don't have the right one I don't have the right one. Anyway, it's a it's a tripod like this one pretty similar and it's got the remote control to it And you set it up. This one's uh 51 inches. That's why it says 51 inch one So this one's 51 inches and you and it's got the camera mount on it or you know It's got a camera mount on it and it's got a remote control so you can press the button It'll take a picture. It'll it'll start the video up up to like 20 feet away or something like that Uh pretty cool item and if you're gonna do any kind of b-roll or any kind of stuff like that It's a good thing to have. Um the ubrese extendable thing. So we're gonna keep going. I'm gonna Share another part of my screen. Um Right over here. Okay, I found it. All right. Share it up So email marketing is a way to make money online. All right You capture somebody's email. So this is a basic thing that I made a basic funnel So you got facebook traffic youtube traffic instagram traffic or even google traffic And you send them to what's called a lead capture page That's going to be where you initially would get them to whatever item they're wanting to buy You're going to ask them to put their email address in to capture their email And then when they do that they get sent to the sales page and they either buy or don't buy and like Like 70 percent of people aren't going to buy more than that, right? They're not going to buy and then they disappear forever. They're gone those people that you paid money for ads and all your Efforts they're gone Right, but if you've captured their email now they go on what's called an email list And this starts the auto responder sequence where every day or every two days or every three days or every week They get an email and a v the v stands for value. So you send them a value email What's the product? What's the features of the product the next day? You send them an email Uh of what their life is going to be without the product Then you send them a sales email And maybe they'll buy and you send them another value another value and then maybe you make a sale But the emails go on automatically and that's passive income once you've captured their email Once you have an email list You could market the people and that's passive income and people can make good money on on an email list, okay They say a good scrubbed list and i'll tell you what a scrubbed list is in is in a minute But a good scrubbed email list is worth one dollar per email per month So so if you have a thousand emails on it's a thousand dollars five thousand emails If you have ten thousand emails on your email list, it's ten thousand dollars a month But scrubbing the emails. So what's a scrubbed email gym scrubbed email is pretty simple It's uh, if somebody doesn't open your emails, okay Let's say you send them this one this one this one this one this one and this one and they haven't opened any of them Well, you take them off the list. They're not interested in any anything you're selling So you take them off the list, but let's say they opened this one They haven't bought anything but they opened this one someone else opened this one But they haven't bought anything Right, but you're going to keep them on the list because they are opening your emails someday They may buy right, but if they don't open the emails like after the fifth seventh one Whatever whatever you decide the number is you scrub them off the list So this way the only people on your list are the people that are interested in your emails And they look forward to getting your emails now because you know, I know you said at the beginning of this gym I hate getting those emails. I get all those emails all the time. I don't even open them You know, but I'm telling you one thing I'm sure there's one email that you do open that you look forward to right There is that one that you're they're happy to get it whether it's a newsletter or or or or or some kind of video Or something that you look forward to you get you open it and it's always good stuff because it's stuff you're interested in Those are the people you want on your mailing list You don't want all those other people that aren't interested in those people you want to unsubscribe if they don't unsubscribe themselves You you scrub them right off the list, right? And that's how you're going to make money with an email list and that's passive income That's one way of passive income. So you've got all these ways to make passive income. All right that i'm showing you Uh Go to you didn't know dot live check out my youtube channel I have all videos on making money online all different income streams that you can start Uh, and you can and you can sign up for my mailing list there And I I don't really sell on that mailing list I just kind of send out when i'm going to be live and and when I do send out videos I I use it for that. I don't really market stuff to it um So you could be safe in in signing up for that. Uh The next item on the list in the carousel is a webcam. Now, I bought this webcam. This can this thing is under $20 I'm using it right now. Okay. That's the camera that I'm using right now And it's uh under $20. It's a webcam. I needed it for zoom meetings back when pandemic first started I didn't have a webcam for my pc You know, I had one on the laptop in my phone But I every time I was at the pc I didn't have a webcam and they would they were sold out all during the pandemic I couldn't get one. They were expensive. This is ridiculously cheap. It's a good webcam. I mean look at the picture. It's not Uh a dslr camera $600 camera, but it's good enough. Okay to do the live stream It's good enough as long as the lighting is good and the and the audio is good the camera itself This is fine. This is all you need to get started another thing about it You know, what do you need to get started? All you need to get started in this business is a cell phone and you probably already have that in your pocket And you can get started But eventually you want to upgrade and you're going to buy other things and the webcam is one of the things that I upgraded to This and it was a good thing to upgrade to pretty cool. All right um So I would I would buy it again if I was going to buy it and this that was something that was uh that I bought myself all right, um Now we were talking about passive income and and One of the classic passive incomes is writing a book You write a book and the book it goes into the bookstore And you sell copies five years down the line 10 years down the line Stephen King is selling books that he wrote 20 years ago still right and Shakespeare or whoever you pick a pick the author. They're making money. So you write a book right and Passive income you wrote the book now you're not working anymore, but that book still continues to make money for you right, so amazon KDP kindle direct publishing you can do you can uh Publish a book for free on amazon Okay, now last week on the live I went through how to do that and if you go to my youtube channel I got a video that shows you how to do it how to how to how to publish your own ebook or Paperback book or even a hardcover book. This is a book that I put together. Do I have what it takes to be an influencer? um I tell you what So it's a great thing because not only do you Make money when they sell the book right You also get to put affiliate links in the book and I'm going to show you that one second now when you Publish this book to kindle. This is the book now. I published and I published it for free. It took me like a day to write it uh Very short 30 minute read quick book Right, but see where it says look inside People can look inside the book and get a preview of what the book is they look and look at the first three pages And when they open it up there's one page two pages. Oh, look at this There's an affiliate link right here on the third page So when they click that they want to know what this is they don't have to buy the book They can click this and it's going to take them to an affiliate product. All right, so I mean There's more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to making money online There's more than one animal out there to uh Make passive income. There's different revenue streams. Okay, you got amazon You got amazon books now. There's also amazon what they call fba I don't do fba fulfilled by amazon where people buy a lot a lot of product like like 50 or 100 items and they would ship it to amazon warehouse and amazon puts the air that You know puts the air on amazon and then when people buy it they ship it out to them and just send you A portion of the commission, you know amazon keeps the lion's share and sends you something But it's passive income you just send them the products and they do everything else But I don't do that You need to have money up front to buy the products and you need to have research to make sure that the products are gonna sell Otherwise, you're just buying products that don't sell and it's kind of a waste of your money so I know i'm not smart enough to do that But that's one way of making passive income amazon has a lot of different ways to make passive income And the book is one way. All right now Writing a book every they say everybody has a book in them, right? So why not just sit down and write a book? I wrote it on On google docs and wrote it on google docs added a couple of pictures to it, you know Very simple very easy Uploaded it made it made a made a cover for it. I can show you how to make a cover for it on my youtube channel Uh made a cover for it very simply and everything for free and now you got your your book on amazon published Okay, and you could do a cookbook. You could do a coloring book. You could do A how-to book you can do a story book. You could do a short story You could do a mystery anything anything at all. All right. Um And that's another passive income idea to make money while you sleep writing a book pretty simple, right? um The next item I got on the in the carousel was sent to me for free by megawise You're gonna see a lot of guys selling these, uh handheld massages that are rechargeable battery operated rechargeable bluetooth Not bluetooth, you know usb chargeable Sorry about that. So This thing is pretty cool. It's got screw-on heads. They screw off and they screw on they got different heads. You can put on it Got different settings. You can put on it's very strong. It's got very powerful uh Massager and it's it's got it's corded. It's plugged in so it's never gonna lose power and Oh man, I've been rubbing this on my thighs because I've been working walking in those mountains and uh You can't beat it. You can't beat this thing on your shoulder on your neck on your back And it's never gonna run out of batteries because it's corded. Okay, of course, you can't take it to the gym But yeah But if you're looking for full power all the time, you know, this is the thing you want to get um And like I said, it's got all different and they change so simple so easily and there's there's like six or seven Different heads that come with it. You know, it's I love it. I use it every day I use it every day on my thighs to loosen up my thighs and my shoulders pretty Awesome item. Um, worth every penny.

Uh, you know retire money not yet right But it's a stream of income that comes in and the key is having multiple streams of income like that So if you have a thousand dollars coming in from your youtube channel and 500 dollars coming in from your instagram channel And another 250 coming in from Pinterest and your email marketing does another 500 now you're talking about serious money So you build all these streams of income up Passive income you work on them like an hour a day each day you work an hour to put some stuff That's passive income. You still have to work But what you do today is going to earn you money in the future. Okay, pretty simple You know, we went through youtube putting your affiliate links. We went through instagram putting affiliate links We went through Pinterest doing affiliate links amazon using the amazon associates program sign up for the amazon associates program I showed you how to get the link to use from the amazon associate program and uh I showed you how to write a book Write a book passive income write a book.

It could be all kinds of crazy stuff But you can you can hey, we got another follower. We got another follower Sean main. Thank you for following. Thank you for following. I love it. I love it. I love it We're talking about passive income and we're talking about using social media using affiliate links on our social media And i'm talking about using amazon associates For getting those links because the beauty about amazon associates is that you're cooking Cookied for 24 hours anything they buy for 24 hours. You're gonna get a commission on not just what you sent them for So are there other programs that pay a bigger commission? Yes, there are but amazon's name is the difference And I told you about warm traffic warming somebody up is the hardest part getting warm traffic And amazon is the master at it people go to amazon ready to buy So if you're using amazon affiliate links, you're you're ahead of the game. You're doing good. All right. Um What else do we have what else do we have we have the next item is the angry orange Stain sniper now. I used to be a superintendent for apartment complex. I used to have to do uh Yeah, yeah some items are so I was a superintendent like I was saying I used to have to do an apartment inspection when people moved out for pet stains on the carpet In order to get them shampooed I would I would hold back your security if you had if I had the shampoo to rugs And I had a big black light. That's what this is a little black light stain sniper comes with a battery Really cool little item and uh, you shine it on the carpet and they'll show you where the pet stains are And you can get shampoo out and and shampoo them up and save your carpet save the panning on the carpet That's the important part on the carpet. Um But I know this stuff works really good. I don't have carpets in my house. I got dogs, but no carpets. I got rugs Um, but I know it works. I used it when I was a superintendent on at the apartments and uh Black lights shows all kinds of bodily fluids blood Anything any kind of bodily fluids. It'll show uh now Angry orange it was sent to me for free a lot of these Couple of these items were sent to me for free the the lighter was sent to me for free I told you the megawise massager was sent to me for free being an amazon influencer Brands send you stuff to review for free to be on amazon to get their stuff shown on amazon Uh, it's all part of the deal and it's pretty sweet. Uh pretty sweet deal. Um Yeah, do you have any questions? Um You get you got to review find yourself products that sell You know, you can find products that that are best sellers or the other the other strategy is to find Items that there are no videos for Because there are there's no competition. So if there's no videos for a certain item you make a video on that item You're the only video so there you go But you might have to deal with not as much traffic, but you have no competition Okay, so there's there's different strategies you can use so you say some things are a waste of money Some things are a waste of money, but not everything you got to do your research just like anything else Okay, and the angry orange has a a pet odor eliminator and I think tomorrow It's going to be on sale Friday. They're running a special on this tomorrow. So I mean, it's 20 bucks right now Uh, which is still a good deal. I I use it. Uh, we got the pet pads and um Good stuff. Uh smells like having works like hell. It's what it says. It's odor eliminator very good stuff. Um I used to use a different thing, but now we use this the kids love it now, uh Passive income making money while you sleep. We're not looking for the missing link. We're not looking for the holy grail We're not looking for the fountain of youth Right. It's not an impossible thing It is if you don't want to work if you don't want to do anything And that's what some people think passive income make money while you say I want to make money when I sleep They don't want to work at all. They don't want to do anything. It doesn't work that way Okay, you have to put forth some effort in order to get a reward, right? So how do you become an amazon influencer? Linda wants to know good question Well, what you need to do is you you have to have a an already a following on another social media platform You have to be either youtube instagram We got another follow we got another follow nai nia. Thank you nia Thank you. Thank you for following so so what you do is you get a following on another social media And you build it up to a certain number and the numbers are always changing and then when you get to a certain point, uh Yeah Do you have that so? um I got thrown off. I'm sorry about that. So when you get to a certain point Uh, we're gonna have to figure something else out because I just forgot what I was going to say Oh, we're going to go to the next item on the list is is the godline wireless driveway Alarm. Okay. Now this thing uh, is a pretty cool item What is the most craziest time in the house if you have a family and a dog? What's the craziest time you could think of? When somebody rings the doorbell when somebody rings the doorbell the door goes nuts the kids go crazy, you know You're on a zoom call or you're cooking dinner or you're doing the laundry or you're in the shower and the doorbell rings, right? Pandemonium craziness Wouldn't it be nice if you knew somebody was walking up the driveway? This quarter mile away you put this down your driveway and there's 30 different tones You know, you can have play a tone in the house.

This is a great item great item. Uh, it solves a problem solves a problem indeed um so we were talking about passive income and and making money while you sleep and and It it not being Feasible not to do any work at all. You do you put forth an effort today And you have the potential to make money off that effort in the future That's what passive income is and so you make videos or content now. You also want to use, uh Like I said, I would use youtube to start because youtube is a search engine pinterest is a search engine Uh instagram you use hashtags for but you know, uh search engines are evergreen So no matter when people search that item It's going to come up right as long as it's something that's searchable. All right The angry orange does it work on does the angry orange work? I you have it on It's a laminate floor that I use it on. Yeah, it is and and we spray it on and mop it up. Um So this works car vacuum. So camden says he didn't like the car vacuum. Uh, I don't know That's camden's opinion, but uh I don't know for sure The car vacuum The problem with the car vacuums is that the they're cordless and they run out of power before you finish Vacuum in the car, right? Well, this one has a cord on a 16 foot cord. So he's going to be full power in the whole time So, I mean that being said it's it's it's solving a problem right there. Uh, it's not I don't I don't know if it's the greatest vacuum in the world I'm not going to you know say it is or it isn't it's on sale right now It's decent price if you are the kind of person it comes with a little kit that you could leave in the trunk it plugs into the 12 volt baller thing there and uh I'll tell you You got to get the p-page too. Amazon has p-page and here's the thing you can get them delivered to your house I get the stuff delivered so I don't have to buy it in the store and put it in my car You go to the store you take it off the shelf put it your car and then bring it in the house But now I order these bulk items, uh, and it gets shipped to my house. I just bring it in from the door step I don't have to put it it saves it saves a lot of time. So the p-page all that kind of stuff I order from amazon now. Um The next item I got in here is the bed shore calming bed now This was sent to me by bed shore bed shore Really great company really cool, and I'm gonna Look for where I have uh the video for this because There it is My dog loves this thing and I we got a rescue dog and he's a very high strong hyper dog Okay, we got we just got it. We put it out and he went right to it and he loves it Normally this dog is barking jumping on people now There's like three or four people standing around the room watching him and he's not jumping back and forth Going crazy. He's he's loving the bed. The bed is so soft The middle piece comes out everything is washable and it's just so soft and and it was amazing How it calmed the dog down, uh, I'm pulling behind this even though like I said it was set to me for free by bed shore Um, but he spends a lot of time in it and it's got nooks and crannies He's always sticking his bones in the side of it. He loves it. Uh Let's let you watch that for a sec That's benny the rescue dog He's uh, he's a handful. He barks a lot And he's high strong But he's a rescue dog, you know, they all have their problems not his fault So there he is in the bed. He's like loving it. He's Not coming out. He doesn't sit still. He does not sit still So this bed had his attention had his full attention and he's testing it out And he still hasn't ripped it yet. He's he's always pulling on stuff like that He loves that it has that little corner like underneath the cushion He sticks all his bones and everything under there and hides him right Very good very good, uh dog bed This thing and this is the large dog bed. I always get the large He's like a medium sized jack russell sized dog. Not a big dog. Not a little dog in the middle But I always get the large because we got we babysit another dog and they they share everything And there he is putting his head down on it. Nice. He's calm down and he does not do that ever Okay ever and look the tail's wagon Loving it loving that thing Loving it And that's the bed shore calming dog bed perfect and 100 percent 100 percent does what it says it does Combs the dog down as you can see. All right, definitely does Okay, um Again bed shore another thing the bed shore sent me was the cat the cat cave. We're gonna look at the cat cave quick and uh There's the cat cave. I don't have a cat so I don't have a cat to show you but this thing Unfolded real quick was easy to put together um And I sent it out to a friend of ours who has cats For them to try it out and I'm waiting to get the footage back and I should have that in the future. Um But you know being an influencer so you you have to have a Following in another social media whether it's instagram or youtube or I think they're taking tiktok now and when you have and it's not so much your uh The amount of followers you have it's the amount of engagement you have and the amount of activity that you have on the platform Uh, and you'll get you'll get approved to be an amazon influencer Then after that It's not over because then you have to get approved to do what's called shoppable videos Okay, and uh, you got three chances to do that and if you don't and if you don't do it right And they don't really tell you how to do it right Uh, I uh Took me three times to get it right And if and if you if you don't get it the third time you're thrown out of the program forever for life Uh, so it's a very hard program to get into um, but once you're in and I heard it's getting hotter and hotter all the time because uh, it's it's um More and more people are trying to get into it now um But it's a good program to get into and but it's separate from the amazon associate program Which is the affiliate program. Okay, so that's the cat cave. They call it the cat cave pretty cool item Uh, and it was and it unfolded and put it together in minutes. It was pretty cool, right pretty cool. You agree So that's everything in the carousel They they do hate cages they do but that's not a cage. It's a cave. They love caves You've ever seen them go into boxes and stuff like that. They'll go into the same kind type of thing, you know so, um And uh, yeah, I'm not a big cat person myself. I'm a dog person So they take but they wanted me to review it and if you were have a cat you might want to you might want to You know look for something like that.
