 Okay, is that any better can you hear me any better testing testing I've been having trouble with the audio and it's been driving me crazy sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't okay it seems to be working now hey an Amazon customer started following now so we're gonna do that all right so it seems like the audio might be working now I just checked it out thanks for following whoever that Amazon customer is really appreciate that and what we normally do when someone follows is we're gonna stop sharing the screen because we have this special overlay thank you for following thank you thank you thank you everybody dance and have a good time and that's great stuff I love it when people follow it's good stuff you know I don't get anything special for following you know it doesn't make any difference I'm still on Amazon it doesn't matter how many followers you have I'm still gonna be shown on product pages when I when I showcase stuff in my in my carousel but it's cool to have followers and people that are watching your stuff that appreciate what you're doing so you go down to the bottom of the Amazon page right and you and you and you sign up to be an affiliate and then you go to your YouTube channel and you make that and this is what you do it's called a niche you pick you pick a certain subject okay and um like there's a guy that does Legos so he makes YouTube videos on Legos making the Legos putting them together and then in the description he has links to Amazon to buy those sets those that he's putting together some people watching putting together see if they can they can they see what kind of level it's on as far as difficulty and then they go down and they buy it they hit the link and he's making a commission you know somebody that's doing uh arts and crafts so they do an arts and crafts and uh whatever you know beads and you know tools and yarn and string and you know what land your stuff whatever all that stuff you could put in the description if you want to buy it you make a commission you just send them people to Amazon you just send them to Amazon they watch your videos in whatever the niche is you know it could be anything could be anything at all um and where are we here so I was gonna share I well I shared the one screen but I want to go over these lights and show them to you uh because that's what I'm supposed to do on Amazon that's what they want you to do so if I do this hold on now are you able to see that Hulu ad manager is the easy way for businesses like yours to advertise on Hulu think of it your ads on Hulu a platform with the best TV around okay so that's the light and it's in the box and we're going to play the video with me taking it out of the box and showing you how to get set it up and everything but you know they're pretty cool if you're doing any kind of video and if you want to be an influencer and you and you and you were doing any kind of youtube videos or anything like that they clamp onto the desk and they're they got three speeds and I mean three settings you know and they also have uh colored lights that you could put into them and they're remote control they have remote controls you can turn them on and off with their remote control um I just have so many remote controls that it's just crazy so I just it's easy enough just to turn them on for where I am so that's what I do but it does come with remote controls and they work and uh the LED lights and they go and they're adjustable and you can move them around and they clamp right on the desk or the table or whatever and you got instant lights I used to use softbox lights that set up in the back and and you know took up a lot of space and took time to set up and everything uh so I then I upgraded to the LEDs and you know saving space when I went down to a smaller space and uh so I used the LED lights um I'm gonna first forward the video to the end so you can see what they look like there's the the extendable arms right there okay and you can see the bottom it clamps in and the light goes on the one end and the clamp goes on the other end and it goes into the desk and okay and so there it is on the desk clamped in that's one side and there's one on the other side too and they got the remote control turns them on and off all right pretty cool I mean you know it's a great light if that's what you need you know it's perfect for what you need it for all right okay so and that's what you do as far as affiliate marketing um you make all of these uh videos and you put links to amazon or it doesn't have to be amazon I'm using amazon because amazon has uh has a name and when you're new and you send someone to amazon the people will take out their credit card and buy spend money on amazon if you're if you're sending them to your website you built or something you got on click bank or some other place that they don't know they're going to be hesitant to put on there to put out their credit card you're going to have to warm them up warm up the traffic and it takes steps to do that but if you're sending somebody to amazon straight away you're getting commissions for everything that they buy on amazon so you know it you can do it either way you can pick you can go to google and whatever your niche is if your niche is legos right you can turn around and go down uh affiliate legos or something like that something to affiliate and you search it out and you would find an affiliate program that sold legos probably from lego and you can go to the lego site scroll down to the bottom footer and any any site any site at all you go to home depot site you go to any site you go down to the bottom they'll say partner with us work with us become an affiliate and you can become an affiliate and stop promoting their products basically okay works are just about like i did it for walmart i've done it for youtube i mean youtube i've done it for uh home depot and i've done it for amazon right pretty cool it's called affiliate marketing you promote other people's products for commission right so you're making videos this case youtube videos and people watch the videos click the link in the description to go to amazon your what's called cookie that that means that it's attached to your name so they know that you sent the people there that's cookie to them and you get credit for anything they buy in 24 hours and it could be could be a good chunk of change the next item i have in here i bought myself it wasn't something given to me for free uh actually everything so far has been stuff i bought uh we're gonna get to some stuff that was given to me sent to me for review uh but as an influencer that happens um but this is the akasio uh ek7000 i was looking for a backup camera for b-roll and stuff and this one is just like the gopro not it's a not cool for the gopro it's got all the attachments that the gopro had underwater you know it goes underwater it's got the underwater case um got all the attachment for the helmet for the bike and everything i've been taking a lot of pictures with it and let me pull this up and if i share my screen uh to show you some pictures and of course it's the middle of winter so the pictures aren't that great but there you are that's that's some that's one that's out the back of course the sunlight's going to be you know not cooperating i was it was the morning and i was on the wrong side of the lake but you know there you go you know once spring comes i'll have more colorful pictures for sure but that's not too bad you know for a backup camera for an $80 camera uh and it comes with two batteries charger and all the attachments okay um pretty cool uh pretty cool little camera i'm kind of happy with it i'm gonna see what i can do it i'm gonna do a lot of b-roll with it and uh you know that's what i got it for so it's exactly what i need it for is what it it's not a dsl r 600 camera with a 400 lens it is what it is it's an $80 camera for b-roll and for background footage and for action footage you can you know you want to go in the canoe you want to go swimming you can take this with you you want to go skiing you don't have to worry about it getting wet you put the waterproof case on it and you're good to go good camera all right um so now i bought the camera i made video for the camera and if if someone clicks the link on the video and goes in i get a commission right and that's how it goes that's how it goes all right same thing with the live stream if you click the link in the carousel and buy one of those things in the carousel i'll get a commission for that as well and that's called affiliate marketing this is being an influencer on amazon of course i'm on youtube facebook and twitter as well but amazon is the main one where the carousel is where the products are so if you wanted to come on over to amazon where are we here it's amazon it's amazon.com slash shop slash you didn't know right and you come over amazon and you can see the items in the carousel and click through it and see what's going on and this was the original hot pop popcorn maker i saw it on another live and i thought it was cool we're always making popcorn and there's always kernels at the bottom and everything we're using a pot with oil and everything trying to make the popcorn like the old fashioned way and i saw this thing this thing was pretty cool um let me share my screen and get this up here uh you know it takes a little few minutes because you got like 10 clicks to make it through uh to share a screen and there we go so there it is so that's the popper and you're gonna watch me go through it just it folds flat so you can put it in the cabinet right and you just fill up the bottom and uh of course put it in the microwave but i think i put it in for three minutes and uh i'll fast forward the video because you don't need to see me walk over and put it in the microwave and three minutes of popping right so we'll zip that down to there and then like you know three seconds for the last pop then you're gonna open it up and there it is and it's pretty awesome there was no unpopped kernels in this thing it was pretty cool it was all light and fluffy of course you could put your whatever you want in there as far as you know uh uh you know spices and toppings and you know butter and whatnot you know but pretty cool and then if you rinse it off it's pretty easy to clean and you fold it back up and put it right back in the cabinet all right now this is my amazon page uh i'm being an amazon affiliate now i have an amazon store it's a storefront and and you can go down check it out you can see all my past lives there and uh you know people go and click links and see videos and stuff like that you know i get commissions uh on the products that that they buy that's affiliate marketing right okay so we're going to which one is it this one's follow button that's the unmute button okay when people come on on amazon they're automatically muted so you you tell them to unmute so they'll unmute and then you can tell them to follow following is always cool and you know we have a little party with people follow what we just did for the amazon customer that followed we're very appreciative of that um we were talking about being an amazon affiliate and making money with amazon amazon's name okay it's the hardest thing to do when people stop making money online trying to do affiliate marketing and trying to generate is generate traffic and not only generate traffic but generate warm traffic because people don't buy in the first exposure when you see an item for the first time a product for the first time you don't run out and buy it like impulse buy it you usually see it one time say that's pretty cool see it another time you know learn a little bit more about it see the third time maybe a fourth time and then maybe you buy it you've you've done it you've checked out the reviews you've talked to friends or something and and and then you buy it like maybe on the 56 seventh exposure to the product not on the first one so you send someone to a page a web page to buy an item they're not buying the first time all you're doing is exposing them to the item and hopefully you know if you can get them into what's called a sales funnel you can keep marketing to them and by the seventh time they're warm enough to buy so that's the hardest part about affiliate marketing is warming up that traffic to the point when they buy to where you show them the product that they're interested to where they understand that they need the product what their life's going to be without the product and and then you know they get the product okay but with amazon amazon's done all of that for you all their pages are optimized for sales when you people get sold sent to amazon right away they say if you buy this people have also bought this this and this you know you should buy it too and they're always like you know do you want fries with that and uh so they're the master of adding things on to the to the to your shopping cart right which is a benefit to you as an amazon affiliate because you get commissions for anything they buy in 24 hours so every time amazon makes that that suggestion and they add something you're going to make extra money okay it's a pretty cool program pretty cool program and again it's the amazon thing people go to amazon ready to buy they're saying okay it's amazon here's my credit card a matter of fact they probably have the credit card saved where it automatically fills in and they don't have to do nothing they can just sit with their phone by now and they buy it right and they no no no hassles they know that they can return it they have an easy return policy so that there's no there's no fear of using amazon as your backing uh for your affiliate marketing you just start making money online everybody should make money online everybody should have a side hustle I should say everybody should make money on the side you should have more than one stream of income coming in if you got a salary coming in here you got a you got maybe a partner your your husband or wife in your got two salaries coming in and then maybe you have affiliate marketing coming in what's beautiful about the youtube channel is after you get a thousand followers and four thousand watch hours uh you can collect money for the ads that they show on your videos okay it's called ad sense and you would get some some commissions for that every month I get a a check from youtube from google actually for the ads okay and then on top of that there's affiliate programs that from the youtube videos that I also get commissions for that and then now amazon also has the program happening now with the amazon influencers and so I get so now there's three that I just and I can think of a couple other ones but there's multiple streams of income coming in and I'm not saying they're millions of dollars you know whatever they are they are and it all adds up and you know pretty soon you know when when when are you going to be a success right when when when your passive income surpasses your expenses okay when your passive income surpasses your expenses then you don't have to worry about paying your bills your passive income is paying your bills and then you can just enjoy life right then that's that's when you're successful right when your passive income is covering all your expenses and now of course your quality of life goes up your toys get it more expensive as as as you make more and more money right it's all part of it's all part of the game so the next item in the carousel um oh no let me get

relax and and and he does he uses it all the time it amazes me how uh you get them a bed or a toy and they know it's theirs you know they have ownership to it and you know they actually have ownership to it you know a bone or whatever and they they know it's theirs it cracks me up so the next item i got in the carousel is a cat uh cat cave all right we're gonna share the screen on the cat cave too now i don't have a cat um um but i'm going to show you how easy it was to put together and if you have a cat you're gonna you're gonna like it um there we go so it slides out of the box and unfolds pretty cool little thing for a cat now again bet you are sent me this thing right so i make videos for it i put the videos on amazon i'm in on youtube right and on amazon but i put them on youtube that's the example i'm doing today and and when people click the amazon link and go to amazon i get whatever they buy for 24 hours i'm going to get a commission on that's affiliate marketing with amazon so you go down to the footer on any amazon page you go down to the footer and you go to become an affiliate and there'll be there'll be a column saying work with us you go down to become an affiliate you you click that you sign up and you become an affiliate and let me show you how to get your affiliate links okay all right we're gonna stop sharing the screen here and i think i have an amazon page i mean uh yeah let me see yeah this one benny's not behaving in the background so so any amazon page once you become an amazon affiliate once you sign up and you're approved you're gonna have what's called the site stripe up here on the top of any page now no matter what product you're on no matter what page you when you click the test button a link's gonna drop down that's your affiliate link for that product you take that link copy it and paste it into your description in your youtube video and then it's cookie to you because it came from your site stripe right it's cookie to you and anything that they buy within 24 hours on youtube you're gonna get a commission for all right so that's very simple now that's on once you're an amazon affiliate that site stripe is on every page you're gonna go on to any item and you know imagine how many items are on amazon so you can be an affiliate for any item any niche could be for any any discipline it could be a sport could be a game could be a hobby could be a profession could be fashion could be beauty could be weight loss could be you know it could be anything could be anything could be anything all right um just checking the sound again make sure the audio because i'm paranoid now okay so unmute if you're coming in from amazon you have to unmute to hear me all right so i think that i think it's working okay i'm not really i'm pretty sure it's working it seems like it's working so the next item is a book that i wrote okay um again everybody has a story in them everybody has a book in them this is what they say you can write any story could be a how-to book could be a murder mystery could be a suspense could be anything right but uh and you can self publish on amazon for free and i if you go to my youtube channel uh side hustle shuffle if you go to you didn't know dot live uh boom you go to you didn't know dot live that's my website it has all my social medias and everything sign up you can sign up to the youtube channel the email list amazon everything right and uh the youtube channel side hustle shuffle we'll have videos on it on how to write your book how to publish the book on amazon all right now i'm going to share my screen and well let's get rid of the website so it's not there and we share the screen and we go to the book page so here's the beauty of the book page this is the book now can you see that i'm just making sure yes you can all right so here's the book that i wrote do i have what it takes to be an influencer what does it take okay now very quick it's like a half an hour read it's like 80 pages right you're only selling up at three bucks but here's the beauty of it this has to look inside so when people look inside okay it'll show you the first couple of pages now can you still see that yes okay so it'll show you the first couple of pages to cover in the first couple of pages and you could put affiliate links in those pages so that people don't have to buy the book when they go check out the book they can say oh what is this and they click that link and that's a link to a course that i have to a to another affiliate program that i'm doing that's not related to amazon at the moment um so i don't want to go there right now um but that's and you can write a book every day and you can research what books are getting searched on amazon and write a book about that so that you can get searched and there's a bunch of different strategies or you can write what you like to write and what's in your heart all right um but you can put affiliate links in there and that's what i'm talking about okay and you can always there's always ways to make money you can monetize your content and what what you do is let's say you did a tutorial on something and you made a video you transcribe that video and you could that could be a blog post it could be a an ebook it could be a newsletter and you can uh what's called reuse it repurpose your content so you write one thing but you could put it on five different social medias you just have to repackage it the right way so it fits into those platforms right so you don't have to write a hundred different things you can write one thing and post it in everywhere and so you write one thing and that's it right well not just one thing of course like one thing a day one thing every other day or whatever um however often you're gonna put videos out so here's the beauty about it you're gonna make money while you sleep and i haven't i haven't really harped on that making money while you sleep it's passive income you make this youtube video right hey witchel thanks a lot for following man we got a follow up and he gets the dancing okay all right thank you man thanks for following witchel so what were we

just the way of the world you know when the pandemic hit so many people's lives were thrown upside down if you worked in a restaurant or certain industries that would just shut down you know uh people had lost their homes and all you know had to move back with their parents and all kinds of crazy stuff went on you know if you had multiple streams of income coming in from different things you wouldn't just count on one thing like the salary of the job sure have the job i'm not saying don't have the job if you can get a job with coverage and health benefits and all of that stuff and that you get that but have side hustles on the side and when are you going to be successful when those side hustles when your passive income covers all your expenses of the month all your bills when all your bills are paid by passive income you've you've made it you've made it your success all right so another item that was sent to me hollystone is is a company they make these things uh they sent me a drone they sent me another one i haven't unpacked it yet i gotta unpack it this weekend the weather's gonna stink but i'm gonna try and fly it in the weather outside this hollystone they sent to me as they said it was a beginner drone i said okay beginner drone uh i'm a terrible drone pilot i usually crashed him right away i spent hundreds of dollars and wasted a lot of drones but they said no check this one out so i said i'm gonna take it i'm gonna put it right out of the uh right out of the box on my table and i'm gonna try to fly it in the house and we're gonna see how it is so let me uh go to my youtube channel quick again right so we go to the youtube channel and then i uh scroll down there it is the first flight to drone so you click that now there's the ad that's playing now i'm gonna get money based on the ad if they watch a certain amount of the ad like i think it's like 30 seconds or something if they don't skip it well then i'll get what's what's called the commission on ad sense right so here's the video now this plays right and it's just me putting the thing together you know and flying it flying it up and down flying it around my kitchen right and uh pretty cool drone for and it's got different speeds on it right now i'm flying it on low speed slow speed low speed whatever very easy to control i actually bounced it off the wall and didn't crash it it was able to just turn around after it bounced off the wall i think it comes up right here it just bounced right off the wall and just turns around oh no maybe not maybe yep boom right there hit the wall and just turned it around didn't crash didn't crash didn't crash so you know a pretty cool drone for for a beginner to learn how to fly drone this one doesn't have a camera on it it's got the little light on it but you know to learn the controls and get comfortable on it's look at the price okay i mean look at the price it's on the $30 it's on sale right now it's crazy um but it's a good drone for

have to get people to drive to amazon pretty easy pretty cool stuff now another thing in the carousel is these led work lights i bought these for myself for my work truck i needed a light for the back of the truck when the winter time it's dark no light back there i figured i needed a magnetic one to clamp on i said i'm going to get one on east side of me at two and i'm going to put it in the back and it's going to light up the whole back of the truck so i ordered these came in this box and i said oh my god happy st patrick's day i don't know what the message was went you'll but you know went you'll but thanks for thanks for you know give me some feedback i appreciate it um i have a very happy st patrick's day so they they came in this box and i said it's a small box it came you know i was pretty disappointed but it doesn't have to be a big light right to be it just has to be bright and here it is and there was two of them and it unfolds and it folds all the way around fully fully uh flexible it's got three settings on it all right i only use one of them in the truck because got the flashlight on that side only use one of them in the truck because it's bright enough and i have it magnetic on the side of the truck like this and i drive around all day it doesn't fall off okay this one i keep down by the furnace you know when i change the filters on the furnace um and if i it's magnetic it's not a flat surface so it's not clicking on there but it works very well do i have one nothing magnetic here to do it with but yeah pretty cool light i was very happy with it like i said i wasn't happy with it when i got it because i thought they were going to be small now there's two of them in the set uh again this one's on sale too it's worth it for two lights uh rechargeable got the usb cords in them so you can recharge them uh like i said i keep one in the truck rechargeable all day recharging in the afternoon i put it pop it on it doesn't fall off um excellent light and okay so now i bought the light i made videos about the lights uh and i put the lights i put the videos on youtube and amazon and when people watch the videos and make purchases i get affiliate commissions and that's what affiliate marketing is right that's what affiliate marketing is and will not show so you go down you you sign up for the amazon affiliate program which is called the amazon associate program all right and uh you start to get your links to promote and i told you how to get the link once you get approved to be an affiliate there'll be what's called the site stripe across the top of your amazon page on any product that you go go to you just click the link and they'll drop down and show you the link you use that link in your in your uh you use that link in in in your youtube videos or whatever social media you're using you can use it in any social media at all right it's just like things like tiktok and uh instagram you can't put links in the description you got to put links in your bio and and hope that people go search your bio and and do it that way you know what youtube there it's right in there in in pinterest it's right in there in the description okay and pinterest is a is a search engine as well so when people and what that means is youtube's a search engine google's a search engine so when people put in in the search bar a a sentence that's a search right there there's a so they're a search engine they're going to find and they're going to give you answers to your search to your question right things like tiktok and instagram aren't search engines okay i'm not really sure what they're called but then they use hashtags to find items people search hashtag uh led light hashtag uh best laundry detergent hashtag you know best barbecue you know stuff like that where as in youtube they would search best barbecue or you know best knife set or best lego set however they would word it right and then when you optimize your video for those keywords your video comes up they watch your video they click the link you drive them to amazon and you make affiliate commissions and that happens when you sleep once you make the video one time that video is working for you forever right forever youtube's not going away stuff that i've made in 2017 still getting views okay so it's it's it's not going to end youtube's not going away anytime soon

up three cameras and i fly the drone around and then i take those cameras and i splice that footage together to make to make a short video um so uh where are we now we're just over an hour so that's pretty cool we went through everything in the carousel we started talking about being an amazon affiliate being uh it was called an amazon associate if you go down to the bottom of any amazon page and there's columns down there in the footer in the foot the one that says work with us you go down and you look for become an affiliate you sign up for the affiliate program and once you're approved you're going to get what's called the site stripe put on the top of your page of every amazon page every product will have that site stripe there and when you click the link thing on there it'll drop down and it'll give you a link cookie to you that you can use to promote that product okay so that's only that product right and you send it to and you make a video on it or whatever you're doing social media wise and you put your link in there and when you drive traffic to amazon it's cookie to you that link is cookie to you so now whatever they whatever they buy on amazon for 24 hours you're going to get a commission on and that's the beauty of the amazon associate program and you can use youtube videos in amazon instagram tiktok pinterest just about anything twitter facebook of course right and it's make money while you sleep okay passive income you made the video today it has the potential to earn money tomorrow the next day the next day the next day so now i'm on doing this video right now there are people on my youtube channel watching my youtube videos and i'm getting ad revenue from people watching the ads and i'm getting affiliate revenue from people clicking through and going to amazon and wherever other programs that i have going on right so it's passive income i don't have to be actively doing that while i'm doing something else that's working for me and uh if you tune in on tuesday we go live we go live every tuesday at eight o'clock with you tune in tuesday we're going to go over email marketing and and sales funnels and email marketing and retargeting people with email marketing and is email marketing dead you know i don't think it is i think email marketing is alive and well and i'm going to show you how to do it right and uh i'm going to tell you everybody thinks that the emails are spam they get oh i get so many emails they're all spam but i guarantee you there's at least one email that you look forward to getting from somebody in some niche whether it's uh maybe it's a stock quote maybe it's a music thing maybe it's a art thing maybe it's something in sports that you like is something that you get an email that you open up every time it comes and you're glad to get it you read it those are the emails i'm talking about so you don't want to send emails to people that don't want to open them that's that that's the problem with email marketing you only want to send them to people that want to get them that's that's the key and that's how you build your list we're going to show you how to do that on tuesday all right so stick to the to go to you didn't know that live right and uh go to you didn't know that live and sign up for everything there hold on a second all right and we're going to listen to seize at lantis again unstoppable groove on the way out so again this is my son's band uh seize at lantis they uploaded this song to amazon spotify in a bunch of places for free and they have the potential to earn money uh it while they sleep you know it's just another method of making money while you sleep in control i'm not sharing my screen am i so that's that so i don't know what you think about that you know i think it's pretty cool that you can upload stuff to amazon and have the potential to earn money and you can upload stuff for free so he they uploaded that song uh to amazon they also also to spotify in a bunch of other places but we're talking about amazon and i showed you the book that i uploaded to amazon i i wrote the book and you can upload it if you go to you didn't know that if you uh side hustle shuffle my youtube channel you can uh see the video that i have on uh publishing the book and you have the potential to earn money now a book is the classic passive income you write the book today and the book sells 10 years from now and you know steven king is still selling books and you know who who else you know think of it whatever your favorite author is they're still making money on those books years later right that's the classic passive income so amazon has kdp kindle direct publishing where you can publish anything within reason you can't you know vile and profane stuff but you know whatever you want to upload you can to a respectable niche right and you can you have the potential to make money with amazon it's crazy and amazon your partner partnering with amazon the name the weight of amazon name as opposed to just sending them to some website somewhere to put in your credit card and you know fly by night place they're not going to do it but when you send the amazon you don't have to take the time to warm them up is what i'm telling you i told you earlier the hardest part about making money online is warming up the traffic okay you can buy traffic you can get ads and you can buy traffic with ads and you can get it you can do all of that but if you're not capturing them and and and retargeting them and and you're losing out because nobody buys on the first exposure i'm telling you that right now nobody buys did you what do you do when you see something do you buy it no you go to google and you search it right you don't you want to know more about it you don't just go buy it right away nobody has that impulse to buy something right away so you have to figure out a way to warm them up first amazon already does that people go to amazon and ready
