 Hey, John Cristani here. And in this video, I'm going to walk you through how thousands of students of my online programs earned their first commission marketing Amazon products through their affiliate marketing program. And I'm going to walk you through this step-by-step for beginners. If you have no experience working online, if you have no tech skills, if you have just no idea what affiliate marketing is or how to make money with Amazon, this video is for you. Because I'm going to break everything down step-by-step. And I'm also going to show you on my computer here exactly how to sign up, how to get paid and how to also earn big commissions. So, I'm going to go over a kind of little known tactic that my students have been using to earn big commissions. And I'm also going to show you something I've really never shown anywhere before, which is how to earn multiple commissions from the same person on Amazon which can create even more money and really help you set up your online business to make a substantial income for yourself. So, keep watching. This is going to be a sort of a long video. But I'm going to break everything down step-by-step. Let's get it right into it. Now, when I say I've helped thousands of people earn their first ever commissions from the internet with Amazon's affiliate marketing program, that's no joke. And you can see picture after picture testimony. I've gotten so many messages about this method right here. It's absolutely insane. People who have zero experience who never thought they could earn a single dollar on the internet have been able to earn money with zero skills, zero knowledge of marketing, been able to earn money with Amazon affiliate marketing. Now, I'm going to walk you through how to sign up, how to earn big commissions, and how to earn multiple commissions in this video. Amazon affiliate marketing, what is it? What is affiliate marketing? How do you get paid by Amazon? Well, Amazon affiliate marketing is called Amazon Associates. That's what they call their affiliate program. And affiliate marketing is a way that you can recommend products or services with links and earn money for doing so. And lots of big companies such as Uber and Walmart and Target and Amazon. When you create a link with Sight Stripe, it will be automatically attributed back to your store ID. So when a customer makes a purchase using that link, you'll receive a commission for the sale. All sorts of companies around the world, and I almost say the majority of companies have a secret way for you to earn money with them by recommending their links to folks online. This is how a lot of business is done online. And what it is is you are simply sharing links to recommend products and you earn money. Now, you've been part of affiliate funnels if you never even noticed. Maybe you visited Expedia.com or Orbitz or Cheapo Air or or any of these other price line, any of these other flight or hotel booking websites, Hotels.com, Cars.com. These are all affiliate marketing companies because Expedia.com does not own any airplanes. Expedia.com owns no flight patterns. The way they make money and they're able to keep their website running is they make a commission every time you book a flight or a hotel through their website. Now, the way you can earn money with Amazon is you can earn 1 to 10% commission on anything and everything that people buy when they buy stuff on Amazon. Now, the average amount of money people spend on Amazon is $50, which means that you would earn on average $2 and a half every time somebody purchases a product after clicking on one of your links. But I'm going to show you a method little later on in this video how you can earn an average commission of $1,800. So, every time somebody clicks on your link, you earn $90. And yes, I said how you can get an average order of $1,800 with Amazon. That is no joke. It's a very specific method for finding specific people looking for a specific problem. Now, this is available to folks in 18 countries. Yes, Indians. You are included. No Nigerians. You are not included or Bangladeshis. Basically, anyone from Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East and India can do affiliate marketing and also Australia can do affiliate marketing with Amazon. Sorry, I know it's pretty unfair for Africans but hey, I don't make up the rules Amazon does. But if you are from Africa or one of the countries that Amazon doesn't work with, what you can do is you can go to LegalZoom.com and you can set up an LLC or a business for a few hundred dollars in the US or the United Kingdom or one of the countries that Amazon does work with. And that way, you can start marketing with Amazon Associates and start earning money from them. Now, we're going to head over to my computer right now and I'm going to show you how to do everything step by step. Let's go. Hey, John Christon here. And in order to sign up for Amazon Associates, the first thing you want to do is type in Amazon Associates. Okay? Type it into Google and what you'll see right here is Amazon Associates Central. Okay? That's what shows up for me on Google and we'll click this link and it says recommend products earn commissions. Now, if you need more information about Amazon Associates, they have all sorts of information here. But what we're interested in is signing up in the button right here. What you can also do is you can also click on this button in the upper right hand corner to see the list of countries that Amazon Associates accepts. As you see, all the countries that you can use to get paid from Amazon as an affiliate are listed right up here. Okay? Let's go to the sign up form. Now, in order to sign up to Amazon Associates, you'll either need to create an Amazon account or you will need to just sign in to your Amazon account up here. So either way, it doesn't really matter. Now, to get started, you'll need to either sign in to your Amazon account or you'll need to create an Amazon account. Now, when you sign up for Amazon Associates through this form, it will send you a OT, what's called an OTP code, which is something that it will text to you to verify that you're a real person. When you're shopping online, Amazon doesn't care as much. But when they're going to pay you money, they really want to verify you are a real person. So I'm just going to enter in my code in the box right here. And as you see, we're going to sign in. Now, the first step is Amazon is going to need your account information. They're going to need to know what address they should issue payments to. Okay? Now, the payment threshold with Amazon is $100. So you'll want to make sure you hit that and you should hit it pretty quickly if you're following my steps that are going to come after I show you how to sign up, which is how to earn big commissions and how to earn multiple commissions from the single person. Now, after you've filled out your account information, you'll want to go down to the screen and click on the button right down here. Next. Now, this next step of setting up Amazon Associates might trip some of you up because they're asking for a website that you have. Okay? And I'm assuming if you're watching this video, you're probably 18 years old, broke, and you don't have a website. Now, what you can do is get a website. Okay? That's what I recommend. I'm going to also show you a way around this, but really the safest and most sound way, the most guaranteed way to set up Amazon is to get a website. And for that, I recommend you go check out my top recommended hosting providers. Okay? These cost only $3.95 per month. So you're not going to have to pay a lot of money, but you'll have a website and having a website will allow you to get access to so many more affiliate programs and ways to earn money. It's completely worth it. So for $3.95 a month, which is about like a cup of coffee, you will be on your way to being able to get income from all sorts of places from Amazon, from Target, from Walmart, from Uber, you'll be able to really be off to the races and start an online business. So I highly recommend you set up a website and you get one as soon as you can. Now, as I said before, there is a way around this. If you're willing to bend the rules a little bit, you can use one of the sites that you have a social media profile on such as Facebook or LinkedIn, like I have profiles on, or you could just use somebody else's website. Boom. And there we have it. We're on to the next steps. The next steps are they will ask you, what is your preferred Amazon associates store ID? This doesn't really matter. You can just type in your name or something like that. And then you could say, what's your websites or mobile apps are about? And you could just say, social media influencer. That's what I'd put. And then when you say, what topics best describe your websites or mobile apps? What I suggest is just list out whatever. I'm just selecting random categories here. And it doesn't really matter what you select here. Again, you can't do anything that is wrong. So I just selected that. We'll do that. Again, all of this information is not really necessary. I mean, some of this is required, but just you can select random things. How do you usually build links? And again, I'm just selecting random, random things here. Now, great. Now, after we select just basically a bunch of random information right here, we're going to go down to the bottom and select finish right in that button right there. Okay, loading. And there we go. We thank you for applying to the Amazon affiliate information. Now, then the next step is you have to enter your bank, your bank account information and your tax information, which is going to be in this link down here. The only way to get paid is when you give Amazon your bank and your tax information, otherwise they are not allowed to pay you. As a company operating in the world, you're always going to have to give out your bank information and your tax information in order to get paid by companies. Normal companies require this. This is just a part of life doing business on the internet. I know I get people from like Bangladesh all the time saying, why, why do I have to give out personal information? Well, I know in some countries they don't require personal information to get paid, but in Western countries they do. So please don't annoy my comment section. But we'll click later and fantastic. So now we are in Amazon and we are able to actually get links once we are in Amazon Associates. So where we want to go is we want to go up to here where it says product linking right there. And to get our links that we are going to use to recommend the products, we want to click on product links. Now here we can search for anything we want. We can search for dishwashers and we can find a bunch of dishwashers that we can recommend to people. Now the recommended method that I suggest to you to actually get product sales is bear with me and let's do this exercise for a second. Think of a book or a musician or a CD or an artist or a movie that made a massive impact on your life, something that really just maybe it affected your entire life direction. Now for me, that was the four hour work week. So I'm going to type in the four hour work week. As you see, the product is right here. It's the first listing on Amazon and what I want to do is I want to click this section right here where it says get link. This is going to give me a link that I can recommend to people to earn money from. Now there's a little trick here when we click get link is we actually want to shorten our URL with amazon.to. This makes it a lot prettier. Folks generally get scared off when they see a big long link like this. They say, oh, it's got to be a scam. It's a scam. It's a scam. It's too long of a link. Well, let's shorten it for people so we don't face that issue and we get a nice pretty link that we can highlight and then we can right click and copy paste. Congratulations. We just created a link that we can now recommend on Amazon. Now the next step you want to do is you want to go to Facebook or whatever social media that you use. I don't know what social media you darn kids are using nowadays but I'm just going to log into my Facebook profile and what I'm going to do is right here when we're logged in I'm going to talk about what's on my mind because what we're going to do to earn our first commissions with Amazon is we are actually we're going to tell a story about how this book or this CD or this movie impacted our life in a positive way. We're not going to do anything with the link yet. We're just going to write a story about how this impacted our life and let me help you out here. Now I'm assuming that you have zero marketing knowledge coming into this and that is totally fine because I'm going to give you a template that you can follow step by step to create a post that makes you money. Now the basic format is you summarize your story in one sentence where you started and where you ended up. You expand on where you started. Talk about how you ended up in a better place because of the product or the service that you were offering and then you give a link to the product or the service. Let's go. I'm going to write this out real quick and we're just going to fast forward through this. Here's the little post that I wrote. I wrote four sentences. I used to be directionless and broke and now I am rich and it's because of a book I read. The second sentence says how bad it used to be when I was broke. I barely had enough money to do anything and I just didn't see any future for myself. The third sentence says now I'm rich and it's because of this little book I read. The fourth sentence says here's a link to the book if you want to read it too. Again, this is not promotional. It's a story from my own personal life. People think marketing is such a dirty word yet it's not. All marketing is is telling stories and it's communicating information in a very good specific skilled way. It's storytelling. Just tell a story and it makes it simple and as you see what I did here is at the end I put in that Amazon affiliate link which we had gotten just a second ago and what's great about Facebook is that they auto-populate the link for you. As you see folks can click on this Amazon link post right here. Let's post this and see what happens. Boom. Now as you see what folks can do is they don't even need to click on the link. They can just click on the book and it'll take you to your affiliate link. Now what you can do to verify that this is your affiliate link and somebody is going to your website or your version of Amazon where you are going to get commissioned is looking at your affiliate code right here. This is called your affiliate ID and that means whenever somebody buys from this link from your Facebook post you will earn roughly 50 cents from that transaction. Pretty cool right and you can do this on any social media network that you have. It's a fantastic way and folks you don't even need an audience of people for this to work. Again just do this on your own personal profiles and once again this method has started off thousands of people to earning their first commissions online and I hope it can for you too. Now if you are excited about this and if you're going to apply this type in hurrah in the comments below because I'd love to see you start earning your first commissions and to those who do earn their first commissions or have earned commissions through Amazon's affiliate program please let people know in the comments. This is a really easy way to start earning money online. Pretty cool right? Now I'm going to show you how to make big money with Amazon and this is the stuff that excites me because back in 2009 when I was starting an internet business I was always looking for kind of loopholes or tricks. Ways to make extra money on the side just when I was in college and without a lot of time and without a lot of money and I was always looking to make more and I was trying to find tricks to increase my income without extra work. Now this this method and the next method I'm about to show you to earn multiple commissions are definitely ways. They're definitely little loopholes that I've kind of kept to myself and the next one earning multiple commissions is in fact one of the best ways to just earn massive amounts of money and you're going to see exactly how this is done. Now the way to earn big money is very simple. You recommend products that are very expensive. Seems simple right? Well here are some categories to give you ideas of products that are selling a lot and are very expensive. You have lawn mowers. You have dishwashers. You have generators. You have skis. You have watches. You have ski ball machines. You have drones. You have camera lenses. Now this lens for the camera I'm working with right here. It cost me over a thousand dollars. That means somebody I think it was Casey Neistat who's a popular youtuber that talks about photography and videography. I bought whatever lens he recommended and the lens cost over a thousand dollars. So he earned anywhere from a you know he probably earned 50 extra dollars from the Amazon affiliate program. And yes, Casey is a very famous youtuber and he uses all Amazon affiliate links. I've also seen a lot of popular electronics YouTube channels which are talking about drones and other virtual reality equipment and and TVs and all sorts of you know setups lighting setups etc and all of this all of this electronic equipment can be very expensive. So you can make a lot of money doing that. Now I mentioned skis in here. Skis is a really good category. Anything within niche sporting equipment. I'm talking about kite surfing. I'm talking about snowboarding. I'm talking about e-foil. Okay? E-foil. These are extremely expensive items that people pay thousands of dollars for to go out in the ocean and ride on motorized stuff. You also have all of this all of this kind of survivalist and home appliances such as generators. Solar panels. The list goes on and on and on. The amount of stuff that people buy is amazing. People have a lot of money and you can sell all the stuff to them. You can recommend it and earn commission from them. Isn't that awesome? Let's go into how to make multiple commissions. This is my favorite part because I love multiple commissions. I love making more money from the same amount of work, right? I just showed you how to make more money. I'm going to show you how to make it many times from the same amount of work. And the answer is on the board. Lists. Let me give you some ideas. Ultralight camping gear list. Fly fishing equipment. Home security ultimate setup. Doomsday shelter preparation list. All of the examples I just gave you are examples where people will buy a lot of products. Maybe 10, 20 or 30 products in a row. Now, I did some simple math and I looked at one of the videos that is talking about how to set up your own home power grid. Micro grids in America are very popular and the particular video I looked at got 93,000 views. Now, if we're being conservative here because I know how many skeptical folks are on my YouTube channel, I see your comments. 1% of folks might buy the product he recommended because really not that many people are really searching home power grid system setup out there. But I guess 93,000 people are motivated enough to search home power grid system setup. So, let's assume 1% which is very reasonable. That would mean that 930 people bought the 1,800 dollar product that the man was recommending. Now, 930 people, 1% buying an 1,800 dollar product and at a 5% commission rate equals $83,700. $83,000 from one single video talking about setting up your own home power grid. Now, to give you a comparison, the average video on YouTube earns 0.2 cents per viewer. Not even a penny per viewer. Whereas this guy is making roughly a dollar per viewer. Which means that this man recommending big ticket, multiple items, home power grid setup stuff is earning about 500 times what the average YouTuber actually makes. Insane. And that is the power of affiliate marketing. And how affiliate marketing is the best business model that you can get into if you're looking to start an online business. And it's how I've been able to make a living millions of dollars a year without any employees whatsoever running a home-based business. If you are excited by the prospect of earning money with Amazon, type in the comments go Hoorah! If this excites you, I love sharing this information because frankly, it's helped make me a multimillionaire, right? And it's been a really exciting journey.
