 So you want to make money online. Well, guess what? You're not at the right place because this video is not going to teach you any get rich quick schemes because that shit doesn't work. If you ever watch any video and the dude promises you to make, I don't know, 200 bucks a day or whatever, run away. That guy's fucking scamming you out. Listen, in life there's no shortcuts. For you to become successful, whatever you do, you have to have wisdom. You have to increase your knowledge and you have to dedicate time into creating something that's sustainable. It's simple as that. However, for the sake of this video, I will be telling you the truth. I won't be bullshitting you. I'm not selling you anything. I'm going to tell you what has worked in my past. I'm going to tell you what has worked for other people and I'm going to break it down into three simple categories or three different opportunities you have. See, there's many different things you can do online. Actually, there's thousands of things you can do online. So we're going to be focusing on as I think the lowest hanging fruits. So let's go and remember, this is hard work. It's not easy. So get your pen and paper and pay attention, okay? Okay, number one, this is how I got online. Number one, it is, you guys can see that affiliate, affiliate marketing, okay? Most people when they start online are trying to make money online. They're trying to look at this avenue, that avenue. They're trying to reinvent their wheel. They're trying to build up their own funnels, your own systems, everything. Literally they're trying to build Rome overnight. Hold on, hold on. I'm a firm believer in learning from people way ahead of you. Remember what Isaac Newton said, I want to stand on the shoulder of giants. So you want to acknowledge people who are ahead of you and figure it out. Wait a second, they already did this. I don't need to reinvent anything. How can I follow the same path as they did by my own way? And this is where affiliate marketing is. If you're not familiar with affiliate marketing, affiliate marketing is this. Let's say you want to sell this pen or let's say you want to sell this person's pen. So you sell it and you get a commission. That's pretty much in a nutshell. You are advocating other people's products or services and in return you get a percentage of that sale. The percentage can be 5%, it can be upwards of sometimes I've seen 90%. It really matters on the contract and the deal that you have with the person that owns a product or the service. So that's affiliate marketing in a nutshell. Now the quickest way you can get into affiliate marketing online is ClickBank. There's JVZoo but I recommend ClickBank. It's easy. The UX design is simple. So go to ClickBank. Let's write this down. You go to ClickBank and what you're looking for is products that you like. So don't just go after random products. And the most products on ClickBank are like info products. They're actually starting to sell supplements right now. So they have physical products, membership. So a lot of info products slash physical products, i.e. supplements, give or take, or even small gadgets. But what you want to do is you want to go to ClickBank, you want to go to the marketplace and you want to type in things that you use on a daily basis. So let's say you use a supplement. Let's say you like learning about fishing. So we're going to use an analogy about fishing. You're going to type in fishing and you're going to see the top selling courses or membership sites around the world in fishing. So you find one. You're like okay this site is about fishing. Usually the average order size is like you make 20 bucks on everything you sell. This is the funnel. So everything's laid out there for you. So basically what you do is register, you sign up, you become affiliate. And this is where the magic comes in. It's your job not to make any money off the affiliate marketing. That's not the point of this. The point of this is understanding how does that successful company make a business from it. So what you need to do is you need to go through the whole funnel from top to bottom. So basically what you do is once you're registered, you're going to see okay how is your website built? What is your product? What is your margins? How is your sales pages? How is there a shopping cart? What is your email marketing? So it's your responsibility to screen capture the whole process from top to bottom. And you want to understand and kind of become a detective and look in deep and figure out how this fishing company becomes so successful. That's the point of affiliate marketing. It's not really to make money, but mind you you could make money once you understand how the whole system works and driving traffic to their product. But the whole idea is you have all these teachers in front of you. So what I recommend people is like dive in deep. So let's say you study this membership website about fishing. Great. Next thing you study this website about health. Next thing you study this website about, I don't know, spirituality. So basically what you're doing is you're finding the best people in each single niche. You're joining as an affiliate. Now you have access to their mailing. Well, you don't have access. You have access to what they mail. You have access to the sales pages, abandonment card, everything, the whole fucking nine yards you have access to. That's a gold mine. And capture that. Get information from that. And then bit by bit, you can apply that to your own business. Okay. So that's number one, affiliate marketing. Number two, numero dos. Okay. Number two. And these are going in order to from what I think you should start to the next stage info product. So now since you spend maybe like six months a year in affiliate marketing, you understand what a funnel looks like. You understand cop. You understand sales page. You understand pricing. You understand all these different cognitive biases. You understand the whole beast in general. It's not just like you're just looking at one corner of the map, but you're seeing the whole map as a whole. Okay. So once you get that and you have some internal wisdom and knowledge and you experience wins, you experience defeats. Your next step is like developing your own product online, info product, educational product, membership product. It doesn't matter. What I recommend for info products is once again, not reinventing the wheel. I'm a firm believer in seeing what others have done successfully, but doing it in your own way and doing a little bit better, adding your own gravado and adding your own kind of flavor to it. So basically let's say you like a membership website you saw out there. Great. You found a membership website. You've spent time doing affiliate marketing. Now, what you want to do is instead of you wasting all your time to build that info product, I highly recommend that you start building a platform. So what I recommend is start becoming a leader, you know, a thought leader in that space, start guest blogging. So I'm going to write this down. Your job is to guest blog on all the different mediums about the topic. Your job is to double down on content marketing. So doing content marketing, right? Building pillar posts on your website, doing, going on people's podcasts as a guest, doing the guest guest blogging on other people's podcasts. Cause the whole idea with you becoming the thought leader in the space is A, obviously people view as the authority, but B, from an SEO perspective, okay? From an SEO perspective, if this is your home base, that's H, you guys can see that that's your home base over here. And you are now putting content out on other people's platforms. You are developing kind of your own internal network for backlinks back to your website, which in, in essence, gives you tea traffic. So you get a lot of traffic back to your website, which increases your email list. And now since you have a booming email list, it's your job now to, guess what? Communicate with them. So most people, they burn out and lose out on just developing a product from their head. They assume people want that, but that's never really the case. So it's your job now to survey your list, to survey your audience, see what problems they have. I love what Christensen said or M. Christensen said in his book. He's like, what would people hire you to do? Or what would people hire your product or service to fix? So it's your job to investigate your tribe on what problems can you fix for them. So once you've identified a certain problem, kind of easy from there. So basically what you want to do is you want to pre-sell that solution for their problem. And now, since you pre-sold it, you have capital, okay? You have capital to fund that info product. And now since you've been spending time in affiliate marketing for the last six months, you understand what it means to build a funnel. You understand what it means to capture an email. You understand what, you know, your CAC, your LTB, your average order size, your benefit card, all these metrics that everyone should understand for the business, you understand it already because you've been mentoring yourself with affiliate model. Okay. So that's number two is info products. And number three, number three, number three here we go. E-commerce. So this one is the most difficult one because now you're dealing with physical products, a lot of customer service, and you have a lot more logistical nightmare when it comes to actual physical products, especially if you're shipping for my career, China dealing with taxation, dealing with importing and exporting fees and a lot of other issues. But I'm going to give you a heads up when it comes to e-commerce. I believe moving the future, and a great example for this is Hopberry for clothing. They do an amazing job for this. It's combining a content site. So you want to combine C plus E in my mind, equal success. So what you want to do is once again, if you're considering going to e-commerce, don't reinvent the wheel, see what's successful out there already or see what you're wearing already. Maybe you like a product, maybe you can make a product better. Maybe they're offering white labeling. So you can actually add your own brand logo into it. So this is what I recommend. First, you want to build a content website before your regular e-commerce website. So in the content website, let's focus on something that kind of applicable today. We'll do drones. They're pretty hot right now. So I'm going to do a content website about how to build your own drones. I'm going to review drones. I'm going to be blogging about drones. I'm going to be going on huffing and posts and venture beat and blogging and writing and doing videos all about drones and building this content empire on kickassjones.com. And then basically what I'm going to do, I'm going to go to AliExpress or I'm going to find somebody overseas who's going to send me a couple of samples of these drones or I'll pay for the samples. And I'm going to take these very small investment that I had, maybe a thousand to $3,000 into maybe two drones or three drones. And I'm going to put them up on a Shopify store, which is my content marketing or my content blog. And then it's your job now, since you have the education of affiliate marketing, education on having your own info product, it's your job now to drive traffic to your page and become, guess what, an online entrepreneur that understands growth hacking online. So you understand, okay, my traffic is coming from this referral, that referral, ABCD, my conversion rate for email is whatever, my average order size for this is this, my benefit card is for that, my email open rate is this, my click through rate is that, you get the gist of it. You understand all the metrics, all these nuances when it comes to building an e-commerce business. And that's it for the nutshell. I'm going to go in further. It's your first step when it comes to e-commerce is first building a content website around the set topic that's really important to you and what you like to wear or use or take or what you respect because you've got to have a personal and deep rooted connection with the product that you're selling or else you're just a fake like everybody else. You don't want to be a fake. You want to be the real authentic you. Okay. And then from there getting a few samples on your Shopify story, you can use any platform. I prefer Shopify because fuck, they're the best and they're so easy for everybody. And the customer service is phenomenal. So you go on Shopify and you do that and then you just drive some traffic there and see how people buy it. See the price that you're offering, see the actual conversion funnel from the time they go on a blog they read and from the blog, do they go to your cart and if they do go to your cart, do they click the cart like the shopping cart? If they don't, then maybe the button's off or the copy's off. So you get to just of this. You become a deep analytical scientist when it comes to all this shit. And that's that. Those are my three avenues when it comes to making money online, affiliate, info product, e-commerce, wrap that baby up, spend a couple years in it, and there's no fast track to success. That's that.
