Well, that's a pretty good idea because it works really well It's something I do and if you want to learn how to do it and make a lot of money and do it right You're gonna want to watch this video to the very end. Don't forget to subscribe right hit that button down there Turn that red button to a gray button and Bring the bell turn on all bell notifications so that you are notified every single time I do a new video now Marketing on YouTube is awesome and here's why it's really awesome because it's free Okay, when when you're doing a video on YouTube like what I'm doing right now I'm allowed to do this video for free and I really appreciate the platform I really appreciate YouTube YouTube is an awesome platform to be on and they give us a free platform Now I hear some people complain. Well, you know YouTube puts ads now on videos that aren't even monetized They're not paying people. Well, you know what they're also not charging people Okay, they're not charging you to do a video. I mean YouTube at this point has two billion users and they're saying hey You can use our platform for free YouTube is now the second largest Social media platform in the world and they let you use it for free matter of fact marketers when they were polled 78.8% said that video marketing on YouTube is the best place to do it on the entire internet Now that's pretty substantial and if you don't think the market is there the ages of 18 to 44 That's 90% of the users on YouTube. So you're gonna hit the right market to get this This is something that really surprised me 51% of people over 75 said they use YouTube on a regular basis So you're really hitting on all cylinders if you're doing something on YouTube That's why affiliate marketing works so well on YouTube now if you're not on YouTube And I know you are now because you're watching this video But if you haven't started at channel there if you haven't started uploading videos, you're missing out It's the place you got to be now the one thing I hear is well I don't have any subscribers J.R. And nobody's watching my videos. We all start with no subscribers There's not a channel on YouTube that started with subscribers now Maybe some of the channels had a list and they started a channel and they emailed their list They said hey, I got this YouTube channel now, but I would say for the most part when people go on YouTube They don't have anything they don't have a list. This is kind of fun for me I like to look at some of the biggest youtubers. I follow a lot of the food bloggers One of my favorites Mark Wiens And I look at his channel, but here's what I do I go back and I click on videos and then I click sort by oldest and when I click sort by Oldest and I look at their original video. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's terrible. It's always terrible I mean, there's a few exceptions, but for the most part when people first get on YouTube It's not that good. I mean you could go back on this channel right here Do the same thing with me, you know, click videos click sort by and find my oldest video and you're gonna find It's pretty terrible. It's pretty terrible. It's not good But what happens is over time you evolve and hopefully you get better I mean I try to do better I try to have better sound and better lighting and better backdrops and as I get better at it Sometimes my message may be even get better But the point is YouTube is the place to be so before we get into this affiliate thing I just want to convince you that yes, this is the place to do it This is the place where you want to do your affiliate marketing now I do affiliate marketing too, but let's kind of talk about what the different types of affiliate marketing actually are Now one of the first types of affiliate marketing is where you're actually Selling your own product. Okay, you are the affiliate. You're also the product Maybe you're gonna do a video and then below the video you may put a link for something that you're selling That is your own product Pretty cool stuff. I mean you can do that. You can make some money Now the other thing I want to tell you before I get into the rest of them is you don't have to do Just one of these. Okay, you can do all of these or some of these Okay, so the next thing is I could talk about something in my video Maybe I'm gonna do a product review of something a lot of a lot of YouTubers do product reviews or they mention a product within their video and below that I may have a link for that particular product that I talked about and people can click on it and go buy that product And then I get a commission now. That's a product where I don't have to fulfill it I don't have to develop it. I don't have to do anything All I gotta do is talk about it and say there's a link in the description below The next type of affiliate marketing you can actually do would be sponsored videos Okay, that is where somebody actually pays you to do a video and in many cases a lot of companies will not only pay you to Do a video they'll also give you a percentage of the profits when you put a link below to their products that when people You know hear about whatever the product is. Maybe it's a set of knives. Maybe it's you know a dog leash Or maybe it's a camera whatever it is you're talking about in your video You'll actually get a percent of the sales when they click on that link and they go and buy the product So that's another thing you can do now the next one. It's pretty popular It's pretty good and the affiliate marketing plan for this one is called Amazon that's right Amazon Amazon will let you set up an affiliate account and you can select any product you want on Amazon and Create a affiliate link and put that affiliate link below in the description of your video now In this video, I have several links below You can find those links you can click on those links, you know for lights and cameras and computers and all these different things I use and you can go to that link and actually buy that product on Amazon now Amazon doesn't pay a whole lot It's only a few percent, but I have a lot of different products down there And it's not just that product so a lot of people think well, you know if they go and buy that product great But what if they don't buy that? Well, if they buy anything, I think it's within 48 hours I still get a commission on it because they use my affiliate link So that's another really cool way that you can make money through affiliate marketing on YouTube And if you notice all of the things I talked about just now had nothing to do with how many subscribers I had it didn't matter how many subscribers I had I can use all these affiliate links from my very first video on Now another thing you can do and it's kind of an affiliate thing, but you can drive them to your blog You can say hey, I've got a blog click below in the description go to my blog You know read some of my articles read some of my stories and within those blogs you can have affiliate links once again You can talk about particular products. You can talk about particular programs You can talk about all kinds of things and put those affiliate links within your blog So it's not a direct affiliate link. It's not directly on YouTube But from YouTube they go to your blog when they get to the blog there's affiliate links there now Let's talk a little bit about selling online I think it I think it's interesting when somebody first tries to sell online because what they do is they find a product And they try to market that product and it'll work or it won't work Okay, that's only two ways it can go and if it doesn't work they make a determination They go hey selling online doesn't work. I think I'll quit And it's kind of funny and I want to I want to kind of take you back to some of the things I've done I've done programs and I've done courses and different things and I put them online and they may not work that day They may not work that week, but maybe a month later somebody will buy it Maybe a year later. Maybe two years later and what I figured out is the more things I have out there the more Affiliate links I have out there the more programs I come up with the more products I come up with over time that all starts to build up so initially When you try to sell something online, it may not work the way you want Okay, now I've had some launches that were tremendous and I made six figures on the launches and that was great And I still make money to this day on a lot of those products But I have some that didn't do anything. You know, I didn't make any money on it I never did make any money on it as a matter of fact However, then I've got some that I didn't make any money on in the beginning But over time I did make money on so when you combine all of those things together It creates a pretty darn good income. So I don't want you to get discouraged I don't want you to go into this and say hey, I want to do affiliate marketing But the product I tried didn't work. So what am I doing wrong? I don't know why I couldn't tell you why that particular product You can refer Below and put a question below in the comments and I'll be happy to check it out But the thing is I understand that not everything's gonna work I operate and I think most really successful people operate under the 80 20 rule and that's 80 percent of the things You do don't work out 80 percent But that doesn't mean you stop trying because that 20 percent that does work out really can earn you a lot of money And that's what I live for is that 20 percent and every time something doesn't work. I actually kind of feel a little bit of joy I'm like, ah, that didn't work. That's great. Now. Why would I feel that way? Because I know I knocked out one of the things that doesn't work I got got rid of that and I'm that much closer to the 20 percent that does work And that's basically how selling online is Not everything's gonna work not everything's gonna work out the way you want But if you keep doing things and you keep trying things you keep adding things You're gonna get some results. You're gonna get some successes. That's just the way it is Now I will tell you you can kind of speed up the process and you can speed up the process by learning the right way to Do things on this channel I have a lot of videos on how to make money online and those videos What I've done is I've taken the 20 percent that did work and I made videos out of it like this video right here I didn't know and in the beginning, you know, I tried to sell stuff and didn't make money, too But I kept trying and trying and trying kept finding different things that do work Different methods that work different types of marketing that works started doing emails started doing ads and all of these things are learned You may be sitting there right now saying well J. R. I don't know all this stuff I don't know how to do all this stuff. Nobody does in the beginning Nobody's born with internet marketing skills. Okay, that it doesn't work that way you have to learn these things now on this channel I've got what well over 700 videos at the time of this recording So 700 videos a lot of videos and you can actually go through those videos and you can watch and learn all these videos are free They don't cost you anything as a matter of fact.
