 What is up everybody welcome back to the channel in this video you guys I'm gonna literally show you What it takes to absolutely crush it with Amazon Associates now? If you've been following me for a while Amazon Associates was pretty much the first affiliate Platform that I really looked into as I jumped online in 2016 2017 and and and really just took my entire business online It's when I was inspired. It's when it's when just the light bulbs went on for me And I'm like damn I need to be online like forget about this offline shit. I'm not gonna be building anything offline I don't want employees. I don't want an office building. I don't want to lease an office I Don't want any of that overhead and the only reason why I was at that point in my life And this was about 2016 is because I had already done all that like I've been doing this for a very long time you guys online Marketing sells lead capture. I've owned in an actual, you know corporate Company brick-and-mortar office building, you know freaking 50 employees I was the CEO people came to work every day. I've already experienced that I've made seven figures in that I lost seven figures in that I've already experienced that whole offline, you know type of Business structure and as you even as your online business grows if if you do plan on really really, you know Depends on how how you're gonna grow it But but but even building a social media agency or building an affiliate marketing business depend on how how you're growing it You can start hiring people and start getting an office and all that if you want as well and and and still remain small and and and and still and and still crush it but in my case like with my business back then in 2007 is when we started 2006 2007 We grew we were growing it offline and we grew it big and so just that type of Overhead and that liability. I didn't I didn't like it like although I was making a ton of money more money than I ever made it before in my life I had 50 people that were working for me that were reporting to work every single day I had an office here in San Diego although I was I was somewhat successful. I Ended up losing it all And just never wanted that type of business again. I never wanted no matter what the product or service was I never wanted that type of business again So again, it just depends on how you're doing it even with it even with an online business You can still end up with an office employees and and and again It just it just depends on your strategy, man, but long story short what I'm trying to say it was in 2016 Into 2017 when I'm like man, I just want to make money online like I don't I don't care about anything else Like how can I crack this code? What's it gonna take? And so as I started doing, you know research online and and on YouTube I came across affiliate marketing and because I was like man, what's the least overhead? What's the least expensive? What can I jump in if I had no money and and and and where do I start? And so I I literally stumbled into amazon associates I start I stumbled into click funnels with russell brunson and so It was it was a video that I dropped back in let's take a look at it back in January of 2018 this is this still to this day, man I'm still now that now that I'm monetized on YouTube now that YouTube is actually sending me money This video I'm still making money on and that was a video that I made in in in January of 2018 But as I made this video It's when I was getting started and I was just simply a tutorial showing people how How to post their link on Facebook how to post their Amazon link there is there their affiliate link on Facebook? And and start getting some organic traffic and so many people watch that video shout out to every single one of you Obviously, you know, I got a ton of people that liked it and you're always gonna have the haters man Shout out to every single one of the 87. It's all good man. I love you guys But I had so many comments, right? 199 comments on this video Actually a couple of them are mine, so let's just call it 197 but Almost a couple hundred people, you know commented on that and and I just I would always reply I think I reply. Yeah, I've replied to every single one of them, but I Truly believe man 99% of people are still doing it wrong and it's because of the questions that I get from this one video And so I wanted to drop a video on what it really takes and although I'm not an affiliate with Amazon anymore And the reason for it, let me make this clear. I'm gonna make this video very transparent on why I'm not is because First of all what as I started doing more due diligence and as I started getting some some little tiny checks from Amazon I'm like shit man. This this is little money like it's little money like Amazon first of all if you want to sign up you could totally do it. It's free. Let's let me show you where and how But as you go in and set it up Look at the actual like you just come to the page and come to the very very very bottom and you'll see Amazon You should see Amazon associates This is where it used to be I'm pretty sure it's here. I know you guys are probably staring at staring at it right now And I'm just freaking blinded by it Let's um Actually, let's see if it's up here. My bad you guys. I'm looking at the very very bottom Here actually not that's a suit. Okay right here become an affiliate. Yeah So all you do is click on that and then you just go through the set the simple setup process They'll ask you a few questions. They'll ask you for a website And at that point I didn't have a website. I didn't even have a landing page I had I was messing around with click funnels at that point But didn't really have anything up at all. And so what I used when they asked you for a website I used my Facebook business page and and when they ask you questions just say, hey, yeah You plan, you know running paid traffic you plan on running posting it on social media and and that's how you get approved You got to go through an approval process But it's simple it's super simple and you guys should shouldn't have a problem with that at all We just go through go through the simple steps and you guys can totally do it But as you go through and as you start reading, you know the fine print I just knew that the percentages were so freaking small first of all tons of shit on Amazon is cheap Right, that's why we're all shopping on Amazon You could find every product on on Amazon and in all of it is affordable well majority of it, right? And so I just knew that Selling a razor selling a freaking, you know freaking chair or a mirror or a plant or Some pliers or any of this random household shit The percentage was just too damn small man. It was too damn small for me And I'm like there's no way man There's no way that that that I'm gonna make money doing this, you know earn 8% on Kindle is what that little banner just said Well, how much is Kindle Kindle is like freaking nine bucks. So it's like dude like you're literally making pennies man in my Opinion now some of you guys that are watching this you're crushing it with Amazon affiliates And I'm gonna show you guys how you're doing. I'm gonna show everybody else how you're doing it And so I just decided not to not to pursue that But as I continued on my journey and as I as I started seeing the ones out there that are actually succeeding That's what I'm gonna show you here right now because I just came across a YouTuber and then I started to click on it on his links and that's the thing man As you're as you're following people start hacking them start really dissecting their freaking their pitch or their links or their setup Or their landing page you have to hack The best ones out there right and that's what I do man I'll look in a different, you know different people and I'll I'll start clicking on their stuff I'll even opt into to their stuff to see where they take me you have to and a lot of times I even buy people stuff. I'll buy their stuff just to see where they take me, right? And and so you have to hack people man in a good way and so I ended up looking into Let me let me show you right here. Let's see Jevon I think that's how you pronounce the name Jevon Dovey Shout out to this guy man shut out to this guy. This guy's freaking crushing it I literally I watched this video and I commented right below and I put This got to be the dopest video I ever seen and so that's another thing too man A lot of you guys are watching my video and you guys ain't saying shit Let me just ask you for a simple favor man comment comment If you're not going to comment click like click share or subscribe make sure you subscribe to my channel man Subscribe smash the bell for notifications. That's the least you can do I'm putting out this knowledge hoping that it that it that it impacts someone And so all the support I'm asking for from you guys man is freaking comment comment or like it or share or subscribe or something That's what you got to do man if you want love back you got to share the love you got to share the love And so I'm always commenting on people's videos right? I don't even know this guy That's the first time I see his video But I watched it because I'm interested on on the youtube setup and I'm like damn This guy freaking has it going on and so what I ended up doing is I ended up looking at all of his links in his description all these freaking affiliate links and so Here's what was going on and here is what's going on So as I'm reading all my comments from this video right a lot of people are still trying to post that link on social media Which is cool But in reality, it's not going to do anything for you man at all at all at all. So it's like When you take your affiliate so so you come over here to amazon you set up your affiliate Um, um account you start looking at all these different products with amazon because you could promote any product You start looking at all these random products and you think that oh, it's black friday You know, let me freaking post this link ain't no one buying it man Like they're not like organic traffic is dead first of all if you think you could just post your link on facebook Or on linkedin or on twitter. It's like dude. You better have hundreds of thousands of followers On instagram you better have hundreds of thousands of followers on youtube for any of that organic traffic To actually click on your affiliate link and go buy some shit from amazon Like it's just it's just not going to happen that way until you have a huge huge audience So to tell you the truth That's that's number one. You need to have an audience. You need to have either thousands of thousands of subscribers on youtube Or or literally thousands of followers on every other platform in order for organic traffic to work for you. Okay That's number one and then number two you absolutely have to be building a youtube channel That's what this guy is doing over here. So this guy shout out to jevin This guy 409,000 subscribers Not only is he getting a freaking decent check from youtube every month from ad money ad sent money ad sense money Not only is he getting that check every month But he is a major major amazon affiliate major major amazon affiliate and so Number two advice is that you have to be building a youtube channel And you have to be building it around a specific niche. That's what this guy is doing. This guy is simply a tutorial king around electronics around cameras microphones freaking Lenses freaking all that when it comes to youtube when it comes to vlogging when it comes to video This guy is freaking that's his niche. And so what he did is Number one he built a youtube channel He started a youtube channel started talking about that product or different products all within that niche right number two He picked a niche and he started he started talking about everything in that niche And then all the products that he is simply doing tutorials on They're all listed on amazon and so here's what he ended up doing And so here's how you crush it in 2020 with amazon affiliates you guys. So back when I did this video It's not about it's not about posting your link organically. That's on all these other platforms That's not how it's going to happen man. It's just it's not that's not how you're going to do it in 2020 You got to be building a youtube channel. You got to be talking about that specific niche So so don't just try to grab random products off of amazon and post them everywhere And and just and just spray social media with them right Pick a niche pick one niche and go start talking about different products inside of that niche. Okay That's the biggest piece of advice and and you're going to do that through a youtube channel So so not only are you going to be able to build up revenue from adsense from from youtube youtube Can start sending you a check every month not only is that going to be a huge huge benefit But you're going to be able to build this audience and now as we come to your channel We're going to look at you as the authority figure in that space This guy jeffin dude 409,000 people are following him because they're all getting tips and tricks on how to freaking build a youtube channel lighting microphone camera all that stuff and guess what Again, not only is he going to make money from youtube because so many people are watching his shit and ads are running all day every day But in the description in the description He has all these links That are going to amazon products So if you want to buy the camera that he's recommending in the video Click on the link it takes you to amazon if you want to buy the mic that he's talking about in the video Click on the link it takes you to amazon So that's how you have to be doing it in 2020 man. There is no other way around it You can't you can't you can't half-ass it man And that's why I wanted to cut this video because back when I cut this video back when I made my video back in in january of 2018 So many people commented and and and so many people were looking for the magic pill They were looking for that super bullet They were looking for that magic tip on on how to make money with amazon associates And so I just truly believe that's how you have to do it like you have to have to be building a youtube channel And also let me mention this you have to pick a niche where the products are pricey electronics Shout out to that Filipino guy Freakin um, um, what the hell is his name freaking um He's on youtube as well. It's a decent amount of followers for sure. Um Damn, I forgot his damn name, but he he did all this right he killed it with amazon associates And he was doing reviews on headphones electronics and again So you have to pick a niche man where the price point is high because again The reason why I don't mess with amazon associates is because I don't have a niche like that Any kind of niche like that? My niche is online marketing and social media marketing so it doesn't fit any product on amazon any retail product like that That's why i'm not on it and then and then number two because the commissions are so small So that's why these guys like the jevons and like the other microphone the head. I mean the headphone guy These kind of guys are picking products that are hundreds of dollars and sometimes thousands of dollars Because again amazon pays out such a small percentage where If they're gonna recommend anything The commission better be worth it and even even at freaking shit, man Let's keep it real even at I mean, I'm telling you man amazon pays anywhere from four to eight percent I think the highest is like 10 percent And so even at 10 percent I got to have people buy a hundred dollar product just to make ten dollars Like that's freaking crap like that ain't worth my time But again, if you're fired up about a specific niche and you can find those products on amazon Then that's what you want to do build a youtube channel Start talking about these different products and and have those links in the description Okay, have those links in the description and just pick a pick a product or pick a niche where the products are expensive Okay, not exactly cheap not not crazy expensive But but not not cheap either right not cheap either because again the commissions just aren't aren't going to be worth it. So Again, this dude right here jeffin Shout out to jeffin Making money from youtube ad money. Okay, and then also let's go click on some of his links. So where is he taking me? Everything mentioned in this video my entire youtube studio gear list I click on this one link And it takes me to his blog or his website Where I can look at all these different products. Okay Let's see. Let's go to categories or let's see what what what he has on his homepage. Okay, look Just on the homepage alone. I can see everything. So there's all the lighting and there is the link to amazon And every single link takes me to his affiliate amazon link This is how you do it you guys. This is how you do it. This guy right here picked one niche Started a youtube channel and started talking about different products inside that niche and every single product is product is expensive and every single product is on amazon so He didn't have to go out there and create his own products He knew that the entire planet is already on amazon. So he's like man I'll just start making commissions by recommending products on amazon and and that that's how you make it with a With becoming an affiliate. That's how you're going to make it as far as making money As as an as an amazon associate or affiliate whatever you want to call it. So I click on this link And there is his username right here at the top And if I look at that 499 Look, dude, there's no way in hell that you guys are going to take this link And just share it on social media and people are going to are going to buy it right away Like that's not going to happen. And that's what I was kind of showing over here I was just I was showing how well the whole purpose of my last video back in january of 2018 Was simply how to post your link. It wasn't it wasn't how to make money necessarily It was just simply how to post your link And and so so many people commented wanting to know how to do it as well And and now in in 2019. I'm just telling you man Here's how you got to do it like after analyzing the entire industry and analyzing the game and following different people And seeing what everybody was up to and seeing how they're doing it um That's how they're doing it man They're building a massive youtube channel talking about that product putting the links in the in the description And see as as you can see also man here. Let me let me point this out as well This guy he's sending me to his web page where he's not facebook pixeling me, which is very very interesting this dude I know he's not dumb. He has it going on. He has a big following But jevin why are you not facebook pixeling everyone who lands on this page? That's what I don't understand But it's all good Over here. He's getting people over here and and people are opting into his email list right there Where when they opt in he then builds an email list and sends them offers through amazon via email after that so He's hitting it with youtube. He's hitting it through his email list And that's how you got to crush amazon associates in 2020 man You got to be fired up about a specific niche and and that's why I truly believe a lot of people are not A lot of people are just trying to make money They're thinking they can grab a freaking yoga mat on amazon become an affiliate and share the yoga mat on social media And someone's gonna buy it So I do that's not how you're gonna do it man If you're fired up about yoga go build a youtube channel start talking about it every freaking day Build a following get a bunch of people to subscribe build your little tribe and start putting your links in the in the description And don't just put the link directly to amazon what I would recommend is doing exactly what jevin's doing right here Create a blog page like this And and you can simply do a blog page like if you like I use cartra for everything and in cartra Click on the green button And you can come over here and create All these different types of pages squeeze pages Video sells pages. Thank you pages. You can create all kinds of pages But also you can click you can create blog post or blog Blog pages. So whether it's a whether it's a a a website like this guy jevin He has this type of website this type of web page is exactly Exactly like this one like these over here So you could totally do something like that inside of cartra and build yourself a blog Here's blog post And you can create all these different posts around your Product that you're passionate about and you're fired up about and you start putting these links this link back down in your description People go to it And they see all the different products that you're talking about all these different products guy has so many different products, man So many different products every single one of them Is on amazon and shout out to jevin because i'm gonna i'm gonna buy some shit and i'm gonna let him get the commission It's all good because because i wasn't even thinking about Dropping a video like this until i saw that his video today, and i'm like and until i hacked him today And i'm like dude, let me make a video on this because this is powerful stuff Um, this is how you got to do it. This is how jevin's doing is how the top Producing amazon associates amazon affiliates. This is how they're all doing it, man. They're fired up about a specific niche They're talking about that on youtube. They're building a Subscriber based on youtube and in that description is a link to their web page Where they have a list of all of the freaking products and every single one of them takes you to amazon, okay So that's how you guys got to do it. I click on this one It takes me to amazon and look at the price of this product 209 bucks 200 bucks And and here's the thing man. Here's the thing here and here's where i'm gonna end it because I think I said everything I need to say That's a 200 dollar product, man. That's a 200 dollar product. Okay His commission on that is 10 max 10 percent Doing all that for a 20 dollar commission. That's just not my cup of tea man. That's just not that's not enough money for me Man, it's just not it's just not But again the reason why it's working why i'm assuming it it's working for jevin is because he's building a youtube channel Therefore he's making a ton of money with youtube ad money And he's building it around a niche where there's a ton of different products So if he's selling a lot of these different random products, and he's selling multiple multiple multiple products per day Okay, well then it can add up it can add up But if you're just doing one here one there, it's like dude, you guys are not going to make money with amazon associates at all He has a ton of products. And so if I click on this one, let's see how much this one is Look at that 209 dollars 209 dollars And his commission is 10 percent So it's like dude, that's what i'm saying, man. You got to be selling a few of these per day To to make it worth it, man And that's why man unless you're gonna go all in and that's what that's what i'm saying You got to go all in you got to go all in shot to jevin He went all in with camera equipment And and and he was smart to become an amazon associate to just start recommending everybody over there And here's the thing about amazon too, man Because I clicked on his link. Okay, because I clicked on his link Let's say I don't buy that product And I just simply come over here and I want to buy a book instead Let's say I come over here and I say, you know what forget the camera the damn camera is too expensive I'm gonna come and buy a book and I'm gonna go and buy the blue Ocean I think that's what yeah the blue ocean strategy. This is the next book, man This is my next book this I'm gonna buy this damn book now like this book right here supposedly is the shit I haven't read it yet, but That's what I'm gonna be doing for sure in 2020 is buying a new book every single month And and becoming a freaking bookworm 2020. I'm gonna be reading more books than I've ever read it right in my life And so Let's say I I say screw the camera I got to go buy some freaking toilet paper or I got to go buy a book What so what what's somewhat cool of of amazon is the fact that his link Because or or yeah because I clicked on his link initially There's a cookie following me for the next 24 hours So for the next 24 hours, whatever I buy on amazon, he's going to make that commission So that's pretty cool. I mean, that's a that's a cool way to look at it Um, I don't buy the camera. I go shop for freaking groceries I go buy some other random shit and he still makes a commission now It's not going to be as high because again Amazon it's like it's like four to ten percent on on on everything on amazon four to ten percent is the majority of of your percentages, so I go buy him. Let's let's say I go buy this book. I get the paperback, you know version $15 he's literally going to make about four percent Which ain't nothing and that's why man. What's four percent of 15 bucks? A lot of you guys can do that should in your head 15 times four percent That's freaking Dude, he's not even making a buck. Are you kidding me? Is that the real math on that you guys am I tripping? So it's $15 $15 times four percent That equals dude. I mean, is that right like shit? Okay, well That's that's what i'm saying you guys. That's what i'm saying. That's amazon is to associates for you That's that's amazon associates for you So if you're going to be a book person and you want to be recommending books to people Build a youtube channel build a youtube channel So you're building up the revenue for this ad money Okay, and then you're able to put the links in the description Drive it to a page where you have a shitload of books listed. Okay, let's say you come Let's say I come to your page and and you have home categories top creators. Well, you're gonna have home top recommended books and More books and you're gonna have a freaking tab that takes me to a list of freaking 3000 books This guy right here featured categories. Okay, so he has other stuff going on over here, but That's how you're gonna have to do it man. That's how you're gonna do it and make sure that whenever people come to They click on the link in the description, right? They come to your page. Make sure your facebook pixeling. I don't know what's going on with jevin He must have some other tricks up his sleeves but He's not facebook facebook pixeling anyone that comes here Um, and maybe he's just not running facebook ads. Maybe that's just not his thing facebook ads instagram ads maybe that's he just doesn't need to do it because From the looks of it. He's already crushing it on youtube. This might be his only platform and his number one platform Um, you could find him on twitter. You can find him on facebook. You could find him on ig But for what he's doing? paid traffic May not be his thing And and may not be needed for what he's doing and that's why he doesn't care to to track whoever the hell is Lighting on this page, which I would highly recommend, you know tracking, but um That's how you're going to do it in 2020 man. And so for this page right here a simple blog page I provided a 14-day trial, you know for for for kartra So profit with kartra dot online that link is in the is in the is in the description For anyone who sets up their 14-day trial, please comment and let me know you did We'll set up a free strategy call Where I'll walk you through kartra and set up your entire campaign for you Free of charge you get my time for free I can help you with that for sure and make sure you get off, you know to a fast start So step your game up you guys build a youtube channel in in 2020 Pick your one niche make sure that products in that niche are higher priced products Okay And then drive that to a landing page or some type of blog page Where you can start tracking people start getting people to opt into your email list And you can you can list all of your different products on your page Where people could start clicking on it and buying your stuff Are you guys just make it worth it man? Because again the percentages aren't quite there They're not that high so you're gonna have to really work for it. And that's why What most of the amazon affiliates do the top producers They also build a youtube channel because they're they're catching money Over here While people are also buying lower ticket items over here. All right you guys so hopefully that helped man Step your game up affiliate marketing 2020 Is where you guys want to be all right guys over and out. See you on the next video. Peace
