 What is up everybody, welcome back to the channel. You guys in this one, I'm gonna simply walk you through how to become an Amazon affiliate. Right now, depending on when you're watching this video, April 2020, shit has hit the fan. The world is on lockdown right now. People are trapped in their house. So many people are unemployed. Businesses have shut down and the world economy is definitely changing. One huge, huge company. One huge tech giant that is freaking surpassing every business out there and just rising to the top is Amazon. You see these Amazon Prime trucks in every neighborhood in the country and around the world. And so there's a couple of different ways to make money with Amazon. You can obviously provide your own product, right? You can do Amazon FBA, which is Amazon fulfillment. So you can source products from China. You can source products from your own damn garage. You can provide any product and have Amazon fulfill it. And that's Amazon FBA. Where you send your product over to Amazon, they list it on the actual page here and provide all the traffic. And depending on ranking and depending on how you're setting your whole entire product page up, that's gonna determine a lot on the actual ranking of your product and how many people actually see it. So that's one huge way you keep seeing a lot of online marketers showing people how to become an Amazon FBA seller. An Amazon seller is what they call it. But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you how to simply become an affiliate. So for those of you that don't have a product, right? You're not outsourcing products. You're not sourcing products. You're not getting products from China. You're not manufacturing your own products. But you see the opportunity and you still wanna make money with Amazon. That is an affiliate. So I'm gonna simply walk you through how to set that up and I'm gonna give you some tips and different strategies that you can go about doing it. So first thing you wanna do is obviously come to Amazon.com. You're gonna scroll down to the bottom and we are gonna look for Amazon affiliate right here. So we're gonna become an affiliate. We're gonna click on that and we're gonna go through the simple setup process on getting everything started. So you guys can read all this if you want. Join, it's easy, it's free. That's obviously why a ton of people do join. You can choose from millions of products and get up to 10% in advertising fees. Now, the only thing that doesn't really turn me on is the low commission. But looking at it on the bright side, and I'm gonna kind of touch on some of those bright sides, there's still a ton of opportunity. There's still a ton of opportunity and you can still make a good amount of money. And this is something that I would implement on the side. It's something that I do implement on the side. It's not a full-time hustle. It's not a full-time income, but it can definitely build up on the side and offset some of your marketing expenses, offset your gas bill, your light bill, your grocery bill. You can even get it up high where it's offsetting your car payment. So I'm a true, true believer in multiple streams of income and building up these little assets that help you in your day-to-day life as far as your financials. So this income right here, if I can build it up to a few hundred a month where it's offsetting a car payment, that's a big, big deal for most people and even freaking myself, you know what I mean? So this right here, you could just simply read that. You can learn more and do all that, but I'm gonna simply just skip that and we're gonna simply click on what's new, boost your earnings with native shopping ads. You can do that or we can just simply join. So join now, okay? So I already have an account, so I'm gonna just simply walk you through my account. So you're gonna come in here, set up a new email. That's what I would do. I would separate it maybe from what else you got going on and just create a whole new account. So I have mine over here and that's why you see the white line. So I'm gonna click continue and I'm gonna just simply log in. So I'm already an affiliate and as you go through the signup process, it's gonna ask you, you know, how do you plan on bringing traffic? What type of credibility you have? Whatever it's asking for, you don't need a website. It might ask for a website, put your Facebook page if anything, your Facebook business page. Let them know that you'll be promoting on social media. That's really all you need to let them know. If they ask more questions, let them know that you're gonna be promoting through your email list, right? You're a digital marketer, so you're gonna be sharing on social media. You're gonna be sharing it online because it asks you a few different questions and so you can just fill in the blanks with just, you know, general stuff like that and you'll be fine, okay? So now I'm logged in to my actual account. Let's go into, actually this might have been, yeah. Okay, so let's go to, actually, you know what? This might be a different account. Let's log out of this one. Let's go to my Amazon associates. That's what I'm saying. You wanna have different accounts. You don't wanna tie everything up to just one. So let's go with that one and it's this one right here. Okay, perfect. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to simply show you around this part and really to tell you, there's so much you can learn. Tools, there's different promotions, there's product linking, there's reports. You guys can go into all this, but to tell you, I wouldn't overwhelm yourself with all that crap at all. I would just start to get some links, start to get, you know, familiar with it and for sure you wanna go through the setup process because that's gonna ask you how you want your money. Do you want it, you know, direct deposit? Do you want them to mail you a check? And you'll go through all that as you set it up, but it's super, super simple. You guys can go through that part on your own. I don't wanna waste your time with that, but I wanted to kind of show you how you can share the link and just give you some tips on how I would share them. First of all, a huge, huge advantage that Amazon does have is the fact that you can come in here, we go to product links, okay? You can go to promotions as well. Let's look at, in fact, let's look at everything. We're gonna look at promotions and we're gonna look at product linking. Okay, so if we go to future promotions, the big advantage that Amazon obviously has over everything out there is they have everything, everything under the sun you can buy on Amazon. And the beauty of it is that when you start sharing your links, okay, and there's so many different promotions, you can get link right here, you can get the banner, if you wanna put it on a webpage, which I would highly recommend doing as well. So you can look at all these different promotions and then look at the actual commissions that they'll pay. But again, it's anywhere from five to 10% on most products. But even though there's a million, actually shit, even though there's probably 50 million different products on here, you don't wanna go crazy on social media and start posting a bunch of different products. What I would do is I would niche down and that's what I do do. So I don't just go out there and post links on a freaking toaster or a bike. You know what I mean? Like all post links that are relevant to my audience. And so if you've been following me for a while, I've been building a social media agency since 2016, focused on one niche, providing marketing services, social media services, Facebook advertising services to this one niche. So what I do is through that, I've been able to build a list and through that list, I'll share different products and link them to Amazon. But there are products that are specific to that niche, whether it's a book or some other type of random product, what I like to do a lot is share links for books. So if I'm in the real estate niche, I'll look for books on Amazon, get my affiliate link, which I'll show you how to do and send that in an email, right? So tip number one is you wanna focus on a niche. Don't come in here and start grabbing a ton of different links, okay? Focus on a niche. What I would also do is over here on Facebook, I would create either a Facebook business page around that niche or I should say and create a Facebook group, okay? So it's either gonna be a Facebook page and or a Facebook group around the niche, okay? Around the niche. Whatever niche you're trying to provide value to, that's where you wanna start again, again, because you don't wanna just post a bunch of random stuff. Like focus on the niche and then come in here to Amazon and start looking for products inside of that niche. And so that's what you wanna do for sure. And then you can look at different promotions, Amazon Bounty Program. Let's look at that real quick. The Bounty Program is the different services. So Amazon Video, Baby Registry, Audible. Audible is really cool because as you start to share Audible, it gives a person a free trial and then when they do keep it, you make a commission. And I think that, and again, the commission's kind of low, but let's look at it. $8 bounty for qualifying three to six months Audible GIF, $10 bounty for qualifying 12 month Audible GIF membership. So depending on which plan earn bounty for every qualifying purchase you drive to the Audible GIF membership, which is available in one, three, six and 12 month programs. And then you can get link right here. And then what I would do is I would shorten the link and there goes the link. So let's share this on social media and I'll show you how to do that. So I would get the short link for sure, copy that. And then again, so it just depends on what that person signs up for. So it could be, I mean, if they were signing up for a $12 membership, $10. Again, I look at profit margin, I look at how many units I need to sell to make a decent income. And again, $10, it's like, dude, that's not a lot of money, right? Like if I'm gonna put in all this effort, that's not really a lot of money. That's what I'm saying. You wanna just implement this. You wanna just add it to your existing business and just let it be like a side income that can start generating. And again, I'm gonna kind of show you how, how I actually will, I kind of already told you, what I would do is I would build either a Facebook group and or a Facebook business page. And then I would start driving traffic to some type of landing page to build a list. Okay, so if you're going after, you know, any niche, drive them to a landing page, find people who are interested in that niche first and build an email list. That's where you're gonna win. You're gonna win either, you're gonna either win building a YouTube channel around that niche. See over here, two things I've done. I didn't do the Facebook page because that's not where I'm gonna be posting. I didn't do the group because that's not where I'm gonna be posting. What I did is I built a YouTube channel and I built an email list, right? So those two avenues are where I share my Amazon links. So I'll come over here on YouTube and maybe I'll do a video, maybe I'll do a review on a book. A lot of people, they'll go out there and do reviews on cameras or electronics or again, your niche, pick your niche. Here's what I would do. Number one, again, Facebook is cool, the business page or the group. But at the same time, if you've been following me for a while, I'm a huge believer in YouTube. If I'm gonna put all this energy and do video for you guys, I might as well get paid on it. Like what the hell? Like why am I gonna put this video on Instagram? Why am I gonna put this video on TikTok? Like why am I gonna put this video on my Facebook business page when only 1% of my 600 likes are gonna even see it, right? So the engagement on these other platforms are super, super low. And so if I can build something long-term and if I'm gonna do it with video, I would highly recommend, you know, video. So pick your niche and maybe you could start doing reviews on these products. And then in your description of the videos are links to your Amazon products, to, you know, your Amazon affiliate links. That's what I would do for sure. Number one, YouTube channel. If you're into video, start building an audience of like-minded people around that niche and do it on YouTube. And then in the description, you can either post your Amazon link in the description or you can post links to your landing page to get people to a landing page to capture the lead and build a long-term list that way. Those are the two ways I do it. YouTube email list. That's where my Amazon links go. So, but let me show you how to share it if you were to do it on Facebook. So if you were to do it on Facebook, whether it's on your personal page and we're gonna come over here and just share it in our timeline or in our news feed, I should say. This is my personal page or whether I'm gonna share it on a business page. I'll show you, you know, well, actually it's the same thing either way. But all I'm gonna do is I can come over here and again, I already copied the link. So I'll get link, short link, and this is what I would do. I would come over here and I would post it right there. I would paste it right there. And then as the dropdown comes down, it gives me an option of different images that I can choose from, right? So that one's a really cool one right there. So I can easily, easily post this right here. And I think a lot of people will actually get value because it's just audible, right? It's not a specific product to a bunch of people that are, you know, it's not a freaking link to a freaking punching bag when people on my list may not even be into boxing, right? So this is more general and this is what I would highly recommend, audible. Audible, it gives a decent commission and the majority of people would find value in it, especially if, you know, if the majority of people that are following you are, you know, into this type of stuff. Very few will be into a boxing bag, a punching bag, but many, many, many other normal people would for sure probably be interested in audible, especially if it's a free trial, right? So what I would do is I would paste it right there and then I would delete this link, right? And then I would add some copy from the actual page. So I would come over here and I would just grab any kind of copy that I can find. So an unmatched selection of audiobooks. So look, this right here could be good copy that I can use. Audible will send you your gift recipients an email. Okay, three tiles each. Look, I could take that simple copy and I can paste it right there, okay? So, and then what I can also do to take it a step even further is I can put some emojis right up in there. So let's see if we can find any emojis and I use emojicopy.com for this, but let's see if we can kind of get cue with it and just add a little bit of personality, a little bit of color to the actual post. And you guys, again, as people are locked down, man, everyone and their mother is buying from Amazon right now. So that's why I'm even sharing this video. It's worth it to just maybe build a second income, a second stream of income around, this whole pandemic of what's going on because everyone's ordering on Amazon and Amazon is gonna continue to get bigger. And if you can just get a piece of it all, why not? You know what I mean? And if it's relevant to your audience, if it's relevant to your niche, if it's relevant to your list, if it's relevant to your YouTube channel and if you're actually passionate about that niche and you're actually building a YouTube channel and these links are in the description, you're talking about certain products and then you're linking it in the description, that could be super powerful. So let's just grab the finger for now. We'll copy that. And then what I can do is I can go, I could paste it right here. An unmatched selection of audio books performed by, and I could put the book right there. So let's just, in fact, let's go back. Let's delete this finger. Let's actually get the book. Let's scroll down, let's scroll down, scroll down. There's some books right there. Let's copy that. So I'm telling you, man, you can get real cute with it. Three titles, and I'll go three titles for each month of their gift membership. One audio book, two audio originals, 30%. Give me one second, you guys. 30% of an additional audio books anywhere. My little daughter, she wants to learn how to make money on Amazon as well. 30% off any additional audio books anywhere, anytime listening with these free audio apps, free and easy audio book exchanges and audio book library they'll own forever. Okay, so I can even change up the text a little bit. Three titles for each month of your membership. And then I can go one audio book plus two audio originals, 30% off any additional, anywhere anytime listening with these free audio, audible app, free, okay, okay, perfect. So let's just clean this up. So this is just basic stuff, you guys. You guys can easily, you guys can easily just simply change the text a little bit and then add a little bit of emojis. 30% off any additional audio books anywhere, anytime listening with free, free and easy in the audio book you'll love. An audio book library you'll own forever. And then what I can also do is click here to set up free trial. And then what I can do is I'll go back, let's go back to the finger and let's add that finger back in where that damn finger go. Okay, here we go. So I can add that finger back in and I'll put it right here. Click here to set up free trial and then I'll put the finger and then I'll come back to Amazon and I'll get that link again. So let's get the link. I can copy that and then I could paste it right there. So they can either click the link or they can click the image or they can click freaking down here in the title or the headline I should say. And so that right there you guys is you can either post it that way on your personal page, your Facebook page, your Facebook business page or your Facebook group, okay? That's for sure powerful. Now you don't wanna keep doing that because obviously people are gonna be like, damn, dude, this guy just wants to sell me shit all the time, right? So you don't wanna do it all the time. But again, you wanna stick to a niche, man. Stick to a niche. And that's why posting on your personal page unless you have thousands of people that are in your niche on your personal page, I wouldn't go crazy with this on your personal page. On your business page, yes. On your business page, anyone who is liking and following your business page, your Facebook business page, they're obviously following and liking it for a reason. So they're interested in what the hell you're talking about. So you could for sure do this and do it multiple times per day on your business page. And even in a Facebook group, if you're in a Facebook group and the title of the group is Make Money with Amazon or the group is books I love to read or famous books for entrepreneurs, like that type of stuff, when you could be very specific with the Facebook group, you can for sure post like this multiple times per day and no one's gonna get pissed, right? Because everyone's in that group for that reason. That's what I would do for sure. Super, super powerful. Now, again, let's go back to, this was the audible. So this was the promotions. This was the Amazon bounty. And then Amazon promo codes, I never clicked on that. Let's click on that and see what the hell that's all about. Amazon promo codes, promo codes give customers a discount on eligible items at checkout. Okay, so I guess you can provide, okay, so there's specific products that you can provide a code to. Now where I always go is I just go to product links. So there's banners, you can look at different banners, link to any page. But what I do is I normally just click on product links. And then now I can come over here and I can choose any product. I could type in any product and they'll find that product for me. Let's say I type in, bullshit. Let's just type in books. Let's type in, let's type in marketing. Let's type in digital marketing, digital marketing books. Okay, so this right here, you guys, is gonna give me a list of all of the freaking books. And then all I gotta do is find one, you know, that actually matches my niche. And then let's say digital marketing all in one for dummies, okay? And then boom, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna hit the dropdown, not the get link, I'm gonna hit the dropdown, okay? And then there goes the copy and paste, the link, that's the long link. But what I want is I want the short link. So I can copy that right there and then boom. Let's say I wanna go to, so there's that one, right? There's that one. I can easily post that one for sure. And then let's click on, let's exit out of that. Let's click on home and let's see this next one. So if I paste this book link, let's see the image that pops up underneath the book, underneath this link. And again, you can keep this HTTPS. I would keep it at the end. I would say, hey, click here, right? And then I'd put the finger or you can delete it or you can delete it. If you delete it, it's still, people can still click on the image, they can still click on the headline down here and they'll still be taken to that product. So you guys can kind of do whatever you want on the copy. But what I always do is look, I'll go to, let's click on, I'll get the link for sure, but then I'll click right here and I'll go to the product page. I wanna go to the actual page because this is where I'm gonna get some copy for my post. Like right here, unlock the value in online marketing. A well-executed digital marketing plan is a proven component of success in business. A digital marketing all in one. So look, this right here would be great copy for my post, right? So I can grab this right here. I can grab this copy and I can just freaking use it for my post, right? So I can copy that and just use that to bring it over to the actual post. And again, that's either on the personal page, the business page, the Facebook group, whatever, I can use that copy for when I send an email, for when I'm linking it in my description on my YouTube channel, that's where I want you guys to get the copy. So don't think you gotta be an advertising genius and know everything about ad copy. The copy is already there. It's already provided on the sales page, right? So grab that copy and use that for your post. So here's a powerful thing about this is the fact that let's say I post that, right? I post it and then people click on the link and they end up going over to the sales page, right? They clicked on my link. So the cool thing about Amazon is that because they clicked on my link, let's say for example, they leave and they don't end up checking out. There's a 24 hour period. So if that person buys anything else within 24 hours, I'm gonna get commissioned. So let's say for example, they come here and they look at the product and they're like, you know what, let me look at a different product, marketing books. I might have seen the link from David, okay, cool. He got me there, but now that I'm there, I'm reading it, nah, 24 bucks, nah, too much. Let me see if I can find something else. And then let's say for example, that person comes over here and they're like, okay, 10 bucks, okay, shit, I wanna get that one. Because that person clicked on your link, again, there's a 24 hour period. So if they leave and they come back, that cookie is still on their computer. In 24 hours, whatever they purchase, you're still gonna make a commission. But again, in this case, if they leave that product page and they go look at something completely different, you still get that commission. So that's what's super powerful is that if they buy something else and if they add other stuff, let's say all of a sudden, okay, shit, my wife, I forgot, she asked me for freaking scissors. I end up going to look at scissors and then I ended up buying a gift card and then I end up buying a freaking, I end up looking at best sellers and I come over here and buy other random stuff. You're making a commission on the entire cart value. So whatever the hell they check out at, you're making that percentage on the total. So if I end up coming over here and buying a bunch of crap for my daughter, I mean, excuse me, that amount, that total amount at checkout, you're making a commission on that. So that's what's really cool. That's what's really cool is that it's not just on that one specific product. Amazon's gonna pay you on the entire shopping cart, okay? That's what's really cool. Now let's say for example, you brought me over here from looking at the book, right? So I end up clicking on the book. Let's go back to this book. I end up clicking, I end up seeing your link on social media. I end up clicking on the book and let's say for example, I add to cart. But for whatever reason, I don't check out just yet, okay? It's added to the cart, but dinner is ready, wifey's calling me, I gotta go and eat. So what I end up doing is I end up closing out. Because I added to cart, because I, oh damn, did I close my Amazon one? Because I added to cart, Amazon gives you 90 days. So to the affiliate, if that person buys that product that is added to their cart in 90 days, you still make a commission. So that's what's really, really cool is that there's that 24-hour period. There's also the fact that if they buy anything else within that 24-hour period, after clicking your link, you make a commission. And then thirdly, if they add to cart, there's 90 days, you make a commission on that cart, okay? So that's what's super, super powerful. The emojis I went over, the Facebook group, the Facebook business page. And so here's what I would be doing, you guys. If you guys are really looking to take this to the next level, building a YouTube channel, talking about one specific topic, and then putting Amazon links in your description is a great way to do it. I've looked at so many different Amazon affiliates, and that's how a lot of them do it. A lot of them will build a YouTube channel around a specific product or around a specific niche. And in their description, there's a ton of Amazon links that take them to those products. Electronics, for example, if I'm over here, and electronics is my freaking niche, in the industry or in the niche of electronics, there's so many different things. So actually let's go to, let's get out of books. If I go to electronics, let's go to electronics or electronics. So if I, if this is my niche, you wanna pick a niche where there's multiple things that you could talk about. Now, I'm saying books, and there's really only books, right? But if I was into cameras, and if I go electronics, there's so many different little components within a camera, right? There's the freaking, the mount, there's cases, there's so many different things when it comes to cameras. There's the lens, there's all these different parts of it, the tripod, the freaking lighting, the bag. So it's like, I can end up having affiliate links for all this other random stuff. And I can start doing YouTube videos and start talking about all these random stuff and have the ability to make multiple commissions on all these other random other products that are needed within that niche. So that's another thing. That's why a lot of good Amazon affiliates are in the electronics, because first of all, number one, it's a higher grossing product, right? It's a freaking few hundred for a damn camera. So that's why a lot of people choose that niche to begin with, because the price point is so high compared to a book, right, making 10% off of 10 bucks. Like what the hell, that's nothing, right? So that's why when it comes to this, you wanna pick a niche where there's high price products, because again, the commission's not that high. And then you wanna pick a niche where there's multiple products within that niche, right? There's multiple add-ons in that niche, a tripod, a lighting, the freaking, the mic, the lenses, right? So that just gives you more opportunity to make more money on that same niche, okay? So two things that I would do for sure, you guys, is if you're willing to go all in, I would start building a YouTube channel around that industry, around that niche, and just start linking your Amazon links in the description. And that's all you gotta do is let's come back over. Let's go back to, I think I closed it out, let's go back to it. You wanna just start opening your mind and start thinking of all these different products that you can offer. Now, again, I chose books, because I truly believe a lot of people in my niche are into personal development. They're into improving their business, they're entrepreneurs, right? So one way that I look at it, and this is something I'm taking way more seriously in 2020, because I'm just seeing how Amazon is growing like a freaking beast. They've always been a beast, but now where we're at right now, you guys, April 2020, they've taken over the world. They've literally taken over the world. So if we can't beat them, it's best to join them, right? Start getting your little piece of the pie. That's all this is. And so one huge thing that turns me on is the fact that, yeah, okay, it might be a $10 book that I'm recommending to my email list, but if that person buys anything else, I make a commission. So as people are buying everything in their freaking home from Amazon nowadays, that could be a good income for you guys. That could be a good income stream, because again, they clicked on your link, they ended up buying $100 worth of more random shit that they needed for their house, and you made a commission of the shopping cart amount, right? So that's kind of how I look at it for long-term growth, is the fact that I'm gonna be able to make money on other products that they're buying as long as they got there from clicking on my link that I emailed them, or that link that's in my YouTube description. So that's kind of how you wanna do it, you guys. Come in here, hit product links, and just start searching for different products within your niche. And again, don't be a spammer, right? Don't be, I mean, a lot of you guys that watch my, not a lot, but a few. A few of you guys that watch my videos, you'll put your link in the description, and you'll just spam, you'll spam me on all my damn videos, and then I gotta freaking delete it, right? I do that every day. You don't wanna do it that way, man. I delete your guys' links every day because you guys are just spamming. You don't wanna do it that way, man. Create an audience, build an audience of like-minded people. And then again, you're either gonna build that following on social media, or you're gonna build that following by building a YouTube channel. Or the other one that I'm mentioning is by building a list. I use Cartra for my landing pages and to build my list. So Cartra, you'll see a link in the description for Cartra. There's a 14-day trial profit with Cartra.online. But what I would also be doing with you guys is I would be building, if I were you guys, I would be building a list, okay? Driving people to a landing page, capturing the email, and building a list. A list of a bunch of like-minded people where I can then provide value and share my Amazon affiliate links with that list. And you're gonna need software to do that. So Cartra happens to be an all-in-one. I use it for my landing pages and I use it for my email autoresponder. So that's how I would do it, you guys, with Amazon Associates. I would stay consistent for sure with it. You wanna stay consistent with it, but you don't want, as you build this email list, you don't wanna be spamming the list every damn day either. You don't wanna be sending out offers every damn day. It's like, build some value, like show your personality. And a lot of you guys that don't even put your profile picture in the profile section, like, dude, come on, there's so many people. In fact, let me show you. Let me see if I can find a few in my notifications. Look, dude, Tom, this happens to be a bot, right? And he just has his freaking logo or whatever, but that's a for sure bot. But like right here, man, shot it to Joel, but that's probably a bot as well. No profile picture. It's like, dude, put your profile picture on stuff, man, because no one's gonna take you seriously at all. So you don't wanna have an account where there's no profile picture and you're just posting that link everywhere. Don't do that, dude, because people are gonna report it. People are not gonna engage with it at all. You gotta build some kind of brand, man. And so that's what I'm using YouTube for, is building my brand, which there's links in the description that take people to other parts of my business. They'll click on the landing page, they'll opt in, and now I have an email list. And now I have the ability to come over here, grab a link and provide products that I know is gonna bring value to that specific group, right? So that's how you wanna do it, you guys. Shout out to every single one of you, but I'm telling you, man, right now, April, 2020, as Amazon and as this world economy completely changes right in front of our freaking eyes, you wanna get a piece of it all, okay? Don't get left behind. Stay up with current times and build yourself and your family another stream of income. And Amazon Associates, Amazon Affiliates is one great way to do it. All right, guys, so I'll see you on the next video over now.
