So my love goes out to every single one of you no matter where the hell you're catching this video And I just want to add a add a humility and and the humbleness in me. I want to kind of just just share What this Christmas really really really meant as far as as far as what I've been preaching on my youtube channel this entire Year, you know me building this youtube channel talking about mainly two things Cartra which which is affiliate marketing making money online and and and building a business, right? I've been building my social media agency. I've been building an affiliate marketing business with cartra I've been out there building online courses and and and and selling an online digital book really trying to crack the code online, right? And and so everything that I've been talking about this year, man it's really coming into fruition and and I'm really starting to see the little fruits of my labor And and it couldn't have been at a better time in December When my little bonus checks really started to kick in and I and and I'm a true believer at in the fact that A few hundred bucks a month man will change most people's lives. I'll never forget back in 2000 and I think it was 2000 and and I think it was 2010 2009 2010 when I read an article I read a quote from Forbes And it was saying how if the if the average homeowner had an additional $500 a month Thousands of people would have not had to foreclose on their properties in 2010 back when in 2009 2010 when when the u.s Had a major major recession and shit hit the fan and millions of people foreclosed on their home The real estate market crashed in 2009 2010 This article was talking about how if if if the average person just had a few extra hundred bucks a month A lot of that wouldn't have happened people would have been able to make their mortgage payment People would have been able to really provide and pay their monthly bill And and they were saying that the magic number was 500 And that always stuck in my mind man that always stuck in my mind where I knew that that an additional $500 a month Would change most people's lives in america and and we're in in in in in a in a very What's the word we're we're in a very Wealthy country, right? We're in a we're in a first world country, right? These other third world countries are are are experiencing poverty and freaking depression and and and and everyone's poor in these in these third world countries, but in america we're considered freaking Wealthy out here even if you're making minimum wage working part time You're still considered wealthier than 90 plus percent of the world That's a fact and so if an additional $500 a month can change americans lives What can it do for people in other countries? Like I always thought of that, right? And that's why that's why I was always into network marketing helping the average person make an extra few hundred a month I knew what that meant and so This year I've been focused on building my kartra affiliate account getting people on on the platform I truly believe that every single small business owner needs an email auto responder. They need a landing page software And kartra just happens to have all in one. So you've seen me on my youtube channel this year Promoting that right and now i'm starting to see that check grow and then my youtube channel that has been a Not an overnight success either right the youtube thing that thing takes a while man If you guys want to build a youtube channel, I highly highly encourage you to do it But you want to stay consistent when I started mine in 2017 I wasn't that consistent as far as uploading videos and into 2018. I still wasn't consistent Um, I didn't really learn how to really become more consistent until until this year 2019 and then when I finally really started pouring it on um tags keywords description um the thumbnail Knowing when to post when I started really kind of doing that and staying consistent My channel started to grow and even though it's super small right now. You're catching this in december of 2019 It's christmas day I appreciate all 1400 of you that are subscribed at this moment because That was a grind and i'm telling you man. It was it was all worth it. It was all worth it because again The extra few hundred that i'm that i'm starting to see from the youtube ad money. I know it's just the beginning I am just getting started That could that could be any one of you guys man You guys can do the same exact thing because i'm telling you when that check hits when that deposit hits Those few extra hundred will go a long long way So these two incomes. I want to tell you exactly what I was able to do um this christmas 2019 with those monies Right, so this is what i'm going to show you i'm going to show you both checks both deposits This month of december of 2019 2019 my cartridge check was 616. Okay that right there you guys That's a monthly residual income. That's a monthly check Like it's from people that are that are already subscribed onto the platform And and i'm making a monthly residual as everyone makes their monthly payment Right and that's why you see me this whole entire year talking about affiliate marketing And to really do it right you got to be in one niche and to really do it right You want to you want to make sure those products and services are backed with some type of monthly subscription Because if you can start offering products and services that are billed every month You as an affiliate will be able to make a residual income Residual income is the most powerful form of income on the planet bottom line And that's why real estate has always been number one because people can buy a property Run it out and make a positive income a positive cash flow a residual income every month because people are running it out Today we have the internet today. There's there's there's products like like softwares landing pages email auto responders That business owners need that are building online businesses And when you can get when you can get fired up and start referring it out and make a commission That commission can start to grow man. It could really start to grow this check This is the highest it's been this year And it's just starting to snowball and if you do the math, that's not even a lot of that's not even a lot of people on the platform That's like 15 people 616 616 divided by divided by 40 That's the commission 40 dollars divided by 40 That's like 15 people. I literally have 15 people On cartra. Are you kidding me? Like 15 people that ain't nothing That ain't nothing like i'm gonna go out there in 2020 and put 150 people on the platform 15 people that's it like and and and they're cutting me a check for 600 a month Like dude, you want to know exactly what I do with that check this year? Here's what I do with that check I got my wife these diamond earrings. These diamond earrings were 579 That paid that cartra check shot out to cartra. God bless Cartra That extra six hundred and sixteen dollars Paid for my wife's diamond earrings that she's been wanting forever I don't care who you are man And what kind of income or business or a job that you got and you got it going on An extra income an extra check on the side Will change anyone's life. I don't care who you are man And it did this this Christmas for for for my wife and I I mean I was able to go out there and and not have to touch any of my other income Use this one commission check to um To to um to to buy her something nice to buy her something nice man And and she's rocking them right now, you know, she's rocking them right now. She ain't on camera You know, she's in the living room, but shout out to my wife man. We've been through so much this year I cannot I cannot do it without her man. Um And that's the thing man A partner will either make you or break you going into 2020 stop messing around if you have a good partner Take care of them man. And I don't mean by freaking You know Showering them with materialistic shit Like my my lady is the is the last to be materialistic She don't give a shit about nothing like as far as like materialistic stuff Like I'm over here trying to make a million she can care less if I made a hundred grand Like she is that humble and that down to earth where she doesn't even need much And sometimes to tell you the truth. There's our there's our conflict. I am so ambitious I'm so committed. I'm so driven. I have this vision I have this freaking these goals in mind and sometimes they're too damn big for her, right And and sometimes we'll argue because she just doesn't get what I'm trying to do or she's not She's on board, but at the same time she's not as fired up, right? And sometimes It's like you don't need that like you don't need both people to be super fired up And and and and and if that's the case, which is the case with me I had to learn how to how to be calm. I had to learn how to dumb it down I had to learn to freaking um to have patience I had to learn a lot of things this year man to to make my my my relationship really flourish Going on actually we just passed three years, you know together We have we have children together and and that's my rock and and i'm telling you man For those of you that are that are listening to this message right now women That are listening to it men that are that are here listening to it I'm telling you man a woman or a man will make or break you if you're an entrepreneur You need to go into 2020 with a plan and and both people need to be on board Like you guys can't be half foot in half foot out Like you guys have to know exactly what you guys are trying to do You have to support each other. You have to love on each other You have to be there for each other and and and you guys got to ride or die because if if not I'm telling you man as an entrepreneur It's going to be hard. It's going to be super super hard and i've experienced this already a couple of times In my life in my life as an entrepreneur in my past 20 years I should say and so shot out to my wife man. She deserves this and and much much more And and and i'm telling you man I'm telling you what my what my affiliate marketing check was able to do and and although it's not a huge huge check right now That's a monthly check and it will continue to grow. That's 15 people on the platform That ain't shit as i'm telling you man I'm going to come into 2020 and get the whole damn planet on that platform And and and and i'm going to take it from paying for for some diamond earrings to paying for my my my rent payment or my mortgage payment Like that's where that one check will be alone, you know, so That was able to take care of that and then my my um my YouTube check. Okay. This was my youtube check for for december. I got paid this on the 22nd So both checks to tell you the truth. They both came around the same time um This check came on the 18th So this was deposited On the 18th and then my youtube ad money That came on the 22nd This check right here you guys. I gave $100 to my son christmas card I gave $100 to my nephew christmas card and I gave a $40 to my other nephew and then another $40 to my niece That check right there you guys I can't even talk man it's like That's an extra check Like on the side of your daytime hustle on the side of your daytime business You're telling me $900 a month wouldn't change your life and these two incomes are residual incomes Yes, i'm putting up the work up front. It's taking me time to put up this video. It's taking me time to to um to to Shit, I guess that's all i'm doing i'm i'm i'm i'm on youtube talking about kartra I'm on youtube doing tutorials on shit that i'm passionate about okay And and and from that the 15 people found me from youtube Those are 15 people that are on kartra which are generating that $600 check and because i'm doing all of that on youtube Now i'm able to monetize and youtube sending me money every month now too This check will eventually be 3 000 a month My kartra check will be 3 000 a month And you don't want to hear me talking shit when i'm at six grand a month residual and there's most and there's many many Real estate investors that aren't even making that Owning hundreds of thousands of dollars in real estate. I'm doing this on freaking youtube and affiliate marketing Like it's absolutely insane you guys like it's insane i'm just getting started man, and and i'm just i'm i'm just So happy and grateful for the opportunities that we have right now at our fingertips fingertips when building an online business The internet is at scale Social media is at scale and the biggest advice i can give you guys everyone's out there trying to be a social media Butterfly especially those that are following gary vander chuck and in trying to post 50 million times a day on different platforms Dude i'm telling you man You can do that and and i'm not knocking gary v. He's one of my mentors. I follow that guy and learn so much from that guy but it's like dude When I started putting all my content on youtube and actually building a channel out of it nothing crazy Look at my videos. They're not even edited like I don't even know how to edit like look at my Audio it's not even the best like this is a blue yeti. It's supposed to be a great microphone But shit it ain't the best at all like what am I doing over here? I'm just over here talking shit Finding an audience and and and bringing value and it's nothing crazy It's nothing big but but but as as little as I am right now It brought in 312 this month from youtube and it brought in $616 on a monthly affiliate commission from kartra And it's like dude some of you guys that know all the other that that that have all the other Bells and whistles under your belt you got freaking you guys not edit you guys not a freaking work adobe photoshop All of you guys that are really good with audio and and and and um and equipment and shit like that Like those of you that are way advanced just like dude. I'm telling you It's not that I it's not that i'm gonna Well, shit, how can I how can I word this because obviously people like gary v that are out there pitching Platform platform platform freaking tick tock tick tock tick tock and you want to post 50 million times a day on 10 different platforms Okay, whatever it works for a few of you guys, but i'm telling you man If you were to take all that energy and take all that content and put it on youtube where you can eventually Monetize it There's nothing else better than that man out of all these people on on your instagram Who's hitting you up to do business out of all these people on your linked in who's hitting you up to do business Out of all these people that you're doing facebook lives Who's hitting you up to do business like all these random posts that we put out on social media You post it and it's gone the next minute. It's it's it's lost in cyberspace It's lost in social media world. It's lost in the news feed Over here on youtube the video is parked and has the opportunity to be seen forever by thousands and thousands of people And youtube is going to eventually send you a check for it all Like do they I don't think there's absolutely nothing better than than youtube in my opinion as far as social media and content Like what do I need to post a bunch of random shit for when I can just bring it all in And teach it in a tutorial or however the hell you guys want to do it You're vlogging you guys are doing instagram stories You guys are doing tiktok and you guys are posting on linkedin Dude, can you do the same thing and and put it into some type of either short form or long form video and just put it on youtube? Like why not like you might as well like like shout out to my buddy tim. I was talking to tim a couple days ago We did a strategy call in fact that that that's my last video on actually yesterday That I posted Transvision I'm telling them and I'm like tim dude You're so damn knowledgeable Like you need to start making a youtube channel and build an audience because youtube is going to start paying you And that can start offsetting some of your expenses And and i'm telling you I I know I know the light bulb went on for tim and he's like do you're right He's all I need to be doing that and and it don't matter how you look It don't matter who you are if you got some type of of knowledge or some type of passion or some type of Of information that you know you can bring to a specific market I'm telling you man start building a youtube channel and find Affiliate products around your niche where you can start making a Residual income and and those are all products and services that come with monthly payments, right? You got to find different products and services That have monthly payments and and and that's why so many affiliate marketers man. They're selling one-off products Making a 20-dollar commission a 50-dollar commission, but then that's it. It's like dude I'm fired up about cartra and and here's another Well, here's what i'm saying the reason why i'm fired up is because I use it So whatever the hell you're pitching make sure you're a product of the product That's the biggest advice I can give you guys man You got to be a product of the product if you're gonna pitch it make sure you're living it Okay, don't pitch me some random bullshit that you have no passion in and you're just trying to earn a buck Like that don't do that man because especially on social media people can see right through you and and and they know You're doing it just for the money. You guys all have a passion man. You're all fired up about something I don't give a shit if you're 35 years old and you still love to build Legos Dude, do you understand there's an audience out there for you like I don't care if you're freaking 49 and you're a male and you freaking love to knit You love to sew it's like dude. I don't give a shit like and and no one knows it, but you I'm telling you man the most random shit that you guys are fired up about Other people are fired up about it too. And if you could just simply come on a youtube And start doing these random ass videos and you don't even have to be on camera You guys could be like this look you could be like this no no freaking video and just be screen sharing I use zoom to to screen share. So this is free come over here to zoom Zoom.us and and and download this software.
