 What is up everybody, welcome back to the channel. Shout out to Gladys. You guys, shout out to Gladys. I love getting emails like this, getting comments like this. These are common questions, these are common concerns and I love when people step up man and actually reach out to me. So again, if you're coming across my channel, online marketing, social media marketing, building an agency, servicing clients, bringing value to clients and trying to document, as much as that is possible since 2016, right? So if you're coming across my channel, if you find any value in any of these freaking videos I'm dropping, please give me a like, like just like the damn thing, just like it, subscribe, smash the bell for notifications because I'm dropping stuff like this, I'm trying to drop as much content as possible but coming from the perspective of actually in the trenches, like I'm in the trenches doing this stuff, right? So the majority of the stuff that you're seeing on my channel is from me doing stuff and then people are also trying to do that same stuff and maybe I might be a few steps ahead and they'll reach out, you gotta reach out man, you have to seek mentors, you have to reach out to people who have already been there and done that, you have to reach out to people that are currently doing that, right? Success leaves clues and there's freaking a million different mentors out there that you can learn from, you have to do that. So shout out to Gladys, I appreciate you following me on YouTube, I appreciate you emailing here and I just think I can really answer this and bring value to the whole community. So here's the deal, she reached out to me, I saw your video about Cartra affiliates on your YouTube channel, it piqued my interest, I wanted to know if you could maybe give me a few pointers, I'm interested in signing up, there are a few questions, concerns I have that I would like to share with you. Number one, I currently have a domain, perfect. Whatever that domain is, you can leave it hosted and pointing to your current landing page or you can completely duplicate that landing page, create the same thing instead of Cartra. So there's a link in the description, there's a 14 day trial, like anyone that sets up a trial gets my time for free. So Gladys, set up a 14 day trial, reach out to me and we'll set up a strategy call, in fact, we'll set up a few strategy calls where I can jump on and I can literally hold your hand and show you exactly what to do with these domains. In the beginning of a Cartra trial, you don't even need your domain. By default, Cartra provides the URL, but you can then integrate that domain, any domain with Cartra, you get to integrate a domain, any, yeah, so start on the starter plan, activate a 14 day trial and you can for sure integrate a domain. But what I'm saying in the beginning, you don't even need to, you'll eventually find your way, you'll eventually compare it to the softwares that you're using and you'll either keep Cartra or you won't, which if you won't, like it's ridiculously how you would even think that, but that's the whole another video, you have to jump on Cartra, man, it will save you a ton of money and a ton of time. That's all it's about. So I currently have a domain, you can, again, you can leave it pointing wherever, most likely it's being hosted somewhere and maybe you might be paying for that hosting. So if you came aboard Cartra, Cartra is the host, so you can park that domain on Cartra and you can now then point it to a Cartra landing page. Cartra would cover number one, for sure. And whatever landing page you have now, if it's not crazy, super freaking, over-the-top freaking design, then shit, you can create the same thing in Cartra, man, you could clone any page, you could duplicate any page, show me any web page. I'll build the same damn page inside of Cartra, it's stupid, simple, any of you guys can do it. So yeah, that's fine, number one. Currently working on another website, okay, not a landing page, not finished yet. Okay, whatever that website is, it's either for that website, is either gonna be for branding purposes or that website is going to be for selling products, selling physical products, right? It's an e-commerce website, it's a Shopify type of site. It's maybe a WordPress site where I'm actually selling physical products and I'm shipping them out or maybe I have a drop shipper, they're shipping it out. That's what I think, that's the only type of website you need. If you're driving transactions through your website, okay, cool, keep it, keep it. Because Cartra, first of all, is more of a personal brand, blog type of landing page type of platform where it's more about capturing the lead, although you can build an amazing website from Cartra for sure, you can build your own personal branded website for sure. In fact, there's sections in there for that. So just depending on what type of website you're referring to, if it's a website where it's you, you're branding yourself, you're branding your company, you're branding your services, it's a website, you can do that same exact thing on Cartra, man. You don't need to be on WordPress, confusing WordPress, you don't need to be on Wix, you don't need to be on any of these, any of these damn website platforms. No dude, you can do all that inside of Cartra. So that would save you a ton of time and a ton of money because there's a ton of templates that are already done. Go into the personal branding side of the templates and dude, look, I'll even show you man, click on my pages, log into your account, click on my pages and then what you're gonna do is you're gonna go to, you're gonna go to the green button, click on page and then right here down the line to the left. These are all the different templates first of all, I can click on any of these, I can click on any of these and there's all these templates already done for me. But if I come over here to personal branding, look dude, if it was a website where it's me, like I'm branding myself and I'm maybe highlighting my team and look dude, here's a full blown website, this is a website and look about me, you could highlight the team right here or your clients testimonials, right? It's like dude, you can do all that, this is a full blown website right there and there's the template. So it's like dude, depending on what the website is, if it's something like this, heck yeah, dude, Karcher all day. If it's an e-commerce website and you're actually selling physical products or even if you're selling services, you're a coach, you're a consultant and you're selling services, you're selling coaching programs, you're selling digital products. In the digital sense, that type of a product, Karcher all day. That's exactly what you run through Karcher over here to the left, my products. Under my products, that's for digital products. It's not really for physical products. I would say go with a Shopify, open up an Amazon FBA store if you need to, but if you have your own e-commerce platform, then that would be a completely different type of website, but in this case, if it's just this type of personal branding and coaching and consulting, for sure man, you could do that type of a website on Karcher, you wouldn't need whatever else you're working on. Okay, so keep that in mind. If you're working on a physical e-commerce website, then go with a Shopify or something like that. That wouldn't be Karcher, but if it's any other type of website, it's Karcher all day. Number three, I'm an affiliate marketer for Digist Store 24. It's all good. Affiliate marketers, this is an affiliate marketer's freaking dream up in here. First of all, what I would encourage you to start doing, whatever you're fired up about, YouTube documenting and creating YouTube content around that niche or around that passion or around that type of product or lifestyle or audience or niche, whatever the hell you want to call it. You're a real estate agent. Okay, you're fired up about the process of buying and selling real estate. Talk about it, document it, create short form video, create long form video, put that on YouTube. Okay, anything else, if you're an affiliate marketer and you're not creating YouTube video content, then you absolutely should be running Facebook ads or Instagram ads or even YouTube ads given away some type of general offer, a free PDF, a free cheat sheet, a free ebook. Ebooks still do work. A free training course, a free video, a free webinar, a free web class, a free case study, whatever the hell you're given, a free seller guide. You're a real estate agent and you're running ads to give away a free seller guide to capture leads. That's the whole purpose is to capture a lead. Whatever you're doing, man. Yes, you need cartridge. You need landing pages to drive traffic to, to capture a lead. That's the top of the funnel. So you can't just be an affiliate marketer. Number three, you cannot just be an affiliate marketer and think that you could take your link and post it all over social media. It's like, dude, how many times are people gonna, how many times is it gonna take before people start unfriending you and stop following you because all you do is post links? Like, no dude, you have to create a brand, man. You have to create content. That's why I'm talking to my 12 year old son about. I'm like, dude, you're 12 years old. You're either gonna consume this YouTube, gamer, Fortnite content. You're either gonna consume it for seven hours a day or you're gonna create it for seven hours a day. And let me tell you something. That's what I'm telling my 12 year old. I said, let me tell you something. Do you understand that these people, these gamers, these 18 year olds, 19 year olds, my boy's 12, right? I'm like, dude, do you understand that they have been documenting, they have been putting up these videos of them playing. They have been doing this on this YouTube platform. They're now 17. They have been doing this for the past five years, like minimum, three years, four years, five years. Like the kid's now 17, but he's been uploading videos since he was 13, right? He's been uploading videos since he was 12, right? Now he's 17, 18. These are the people that are gamers, right? Everything, there's a niche for everyone, man. Whatever you're fired up about, that needs to be your content. And what I'm saying is that you should be documenting that and talking about that via video. You need to burst out. You need to break out. You need to build your brand. You need to build your audience. And the cool thing is that you don't need everyone, dude. You don't need everyone. There's a hundred people, give me freaking 90. There's a hundred people, give me 95. There's a hundred people, give me damn your 98. Give me 99, you know, 99 of them saying, you know what, I don't mess with that guy. But the 1%, the 1%, the 1%, I'm telling you, in any market, the 1% is all you need, man. So when it comes to affiliate marketing, you for sure need to be driving traffic to a landing page. And yes, that's where Carter will come in handy as well. Drive traffic to a landing page. Give away some type of general, more general, but also obviously niche specific, but be general in the offer, free download, you know, free ebook, free PDF, free cheat sheet, free video, free case study, free webinar, free presentation, free whatever. But most likely that whatever, hopefully that whatever is digital, right? It's digital, it's digital. That's what makes the transaction so, you know, easy is the fact that they see an ad, they click, they go to a landing page, let's just say a random, they're seeing an ad on Facebook, they're seeing an ad on Instagram, they're seeing an ad on YouTube, whatever, right? Whatever, they're coming straight to one landing page, they're clicking the button they're opting in, right? That's what it's all about. That's what it's all about. So hopefully you're doing that first. Don't think you can just take your affiliate links and post them on social media organically. Don't think you're gonna do anything with affiliate marketing or any kind of business. That's why I talk to business owners every day. Shout out to Charlotte, spoke to a business owner about an hour ago. And she said, David, I don't even know what a budget is. I don't even have a budget, I don't even, and shout out to Charlotte, she crushes it offline. So that's why on social media, she has no clue. She has no clue. And I'm like, I'm trying to help her, but you can only help someone so much before it's like, dang, you gotta start at step one, right? So, but shout out to her, shout out to many people that are just still clueless or just still coming onto social media for the first time and not knowing exactly how to approach it. In this case with affiliate marketing, that's sharing products and services, being a middleman, making a connection, making a commission, linking people. If someone sees your link, they click on it, they buy, you make a commission, right? And that wasn't even your product. That's affiliate marketing. So again, with 2020 and beyond, I'm just convinced that you have to be building a brand and this applies to any business. You're a real estate agent, you're an insurance agent, you're a freaking chiropractor, you're a dentist, you're a freaking local yoga instructor, whatever, like whatever the heck you are doing. There's that audience for you. You need to be creating content, you need to be running, we're either creating that content on YouTube and building an audience there, just like I've built an audience with you guys. Shout out to every single one of you who have subscribed and if you haven't subscribed, man, please subscribe. I'm dropping daily videos on social media marketing, on Facebook advertising, on affiliate marketing, just what it takes to sell stuff online. There's many different how to make monies online. That's cool. But what are the basic fundamentals of how to even do that? It comes down to tools, it comes down to software. In this case, it's Kartra. That's the software that I use that I promote, that I've been talking about for the past couple of years on this channel specifically documenting, creating YouTube videos around what I'm fired up about. That's all I'm doing over here, man. And I'm trying to teach as I go because what I am fired up about, I truly believe every business owner needs. So it's like, damn, this is basic software. We have the ability to do this, this, this and this, right? So it's like, that's what I promote as an affiliate marketer, but at the same time, that's what fires me up. Whatever you're fired up about, yeah, affiliate marketing, but drive traffic. Build an audience, whether it's gonna be on YouTube or whether it's gonna be driving traffic to a landing page to capture the lead. And the way I'm capturing a lead is because I'm giving away something upfront of value. And a lot of times that comes in the form of a PDF, something instant, something that I can download digitally instantly and it doesn't cost me a dime, right? That person comes in here and because it's so much value because I'm an authority in my space, I tend to have an audience and they'll download whatever the hell I'm promoting, right? That comes over time, but in the meantime, in the beginning, as people don't even know you, right? That's what I'm saying, man. You guys that are coming across me, you're seeing me on YouTube. You know how much credibility that gives me? Do you know how much credibility that gives me? I can't even say the downward. You know how much credibility that actually gives me, right? And all of you guys possess it. You're all fired up about your certain thing, real estate, insurance, doctor, whatever the hell, whatever, you're all fired up about your certain thing. Create content, create content for YouTube and also create content that you can give away. Click here to see my latest 10 videos on X, Y, and Z. Videos you will not see anywhere else. Click here, boom, subscribe now, right? It's like, dude, you have to be capturing leads. That's why another reason why I promote Kartra because every business owner needs these tools, lighting pages, email automation, and depending on your type of business, an online calendar. I need to give people the ability to schedule calls on demand at scale, right? So just those three alone, man, not to mention I have a training course that I offer all that 55 videos. I sell it freaking high ticket, low ticket, mid ticket, whatever the heck ticket. I sell it, that's digital, right? Those are training courses, those are videos, right? I package all that up and put a red bow on it and sell it inside of Kartra. That's my products over here to the left. So there's just many, many things I can do with it, man. And in closing on the affiliate side, in closing on the actual affiliate side, I am fired up about being an affiliate, offering products and services, or I should say recommending products and services. Typically you wanna make sure it's within your niche. So whatever the hell you're fired up about, man, whatever you're fired up about. There's different companies, there's different services, there's different products within that niche that will pay you a commission to simply refer other people within your audience to whatever they may be offering. That's affiliate marketing, right? You're just that connector, as I mentioned earlier. But what fires me up about different products and services that I could possibly be fired up about, that I could possibly be fired up about to even wanna refer to anybody. What would even make me even wanna refer a product or a service? What would fire me up to even wanna refer it to people? If you're in the affiliate marketing space or if you're just building, now all that is is multiple streams of income. That's all that is, dude. I got this product paying me 15%. I got that product paying me 70%. I got that other product that I refer to people and they're paying me 65%. I got all these random fishing poles out. That's all that is, man. Random fishing poles and where we're at in these crazy uncertain times, it's like, dude, you need many fishing poles. And all this is is online fishing poles. That's affiliate marketing, is having all these partnerships with all these different brands and even individuals, people that just have courses for sale, coaching for sale, all these random things. But you wanna pick a niche within your lane, right? If you're talking to one certain type of person, stay in that niche, right? Don't try to be a jack of all trades. So, Gladys, whatever your affiliate marketing, whatever that DigiStore24 is, make sure it just aligns with who you are. Make sure it aligns, man, because that's what's gonna get you fired up. That's what's gonna even, to tell you the truth, that's what makes you wanna go talk about it to the damn world on freaking video, on freaking YouTube. That's what fires me up is the fact that that fires me up, right? So it's like, you should be in a niche, man. My affiliate marketing side, me referring Kartra, fired me up so much, only because I knew the importance of it for many other people, business owners, right? And that's what catapulted my YouTube channel. That's what I started talking about in 2018 on my YouTube channel. So if you go back all these damn videos, what am I doing? What am I doing? I'm either speaking to clients, bringing value through building my agency, servicing clients, social media, I'm documenting all those freaking calls for you guys, right? But the other videos on this channel consist of me taking you through landing pages, email automation, why? Because this software that I'm referring pays me residually. So that's what you gotta look out for. So Gladys, the DigiStore, I'm sure it's freaking insanely amazing. I don't know, I'm assuming, right? Whatever it is, anything it is, residual. If I'm gonna refer products and services and really take the time to build a brand around that and really take the time to reach out to my audience and even recommend it, right? For me to even wanna do any of that, it needs to make sense financially, right? That's business, that's straight partnership, that's affiliate marketing. So whatever products and brands and companies you're partnering with, make sure that it makes sense. Make sure that the percentage is right and make sure that you can get fired up about it, right? So what fires me up, and I'll say this in closing, is the residual aspect of Cartra. The fact that it's a monthly software, it's a monthly service. So when I recommend it to people and people get onto it and why are they gonna get onto it? That's what you gotta be asking yourself. Why do people even buy this product? Because if you're an affiliate marketer, you're recommending other people's products. What are they in it for, right? Like, does that product really bring value? Don't just sell stuff, don't just recommend stuff to make money, dude. Don't do that, that's why I keep trying to tell you. You have to be fired up about it. You have to be fired up about it to want to even talk about it. Because if you're doing stuff just for the money, like it ain't gonna happen, it ain't gonna happen. So what I'm saying is that whatever the heck you're into, try to look for that residual aspect. Cartra pays residual because people are on the service and that's what fires me up is that it's a service that they actually need for their business. If you're any entrepreneur, any business owner and looking to have any type of presence online, forget about just social media. Don't want the freaking internet. I'm talking about the whole freaking global internet. If you're an entrepreneur and having some type of online brand is important to you. In any way, I don't give a damn how small you are. I'm talking from the solopreneur to the small to medium-sized business. And let's just say freaking from the one to 50 employee range, because I've been there before. I've had an office here. I've had a building here in San Diego. I've had 50 employees at one time, me. I had that. So I know that experience and that's not a big business at all. That's still medium-sized, which could have been big, but that's still medium to small, right? So if you're anywhere in that, I just know that landing pages, a web presence, a social media presence, driving people in direct response marketing them to a specific offer to capture that lead to then be able to email that list and nurture that list and get them to buy future products and services that we roll out. That right there, you guys, that simple blueprint is what I truly believe every business needs. And that's what gets me fired up to want to make content about it in the first place and even call myself an affiliate marketer. You know what I mean? But the system is that important and that's why it fires me up in that kind of way, because I truly believe people need it and can benefit and it can create a whole freaking channel of income. Look, it freaking created me a whole damn YouTube channel income. This income, this freaking few hundred a month into a few thousand a month that I'm receiving from YouTube alone because I'm talking about Cartra because I'm an affiliate marketer over there alone has created a whole another income for me. And then because I chose to put all my energy into promoting, into being an affiliate marketer of a software that pays me monthly, right? Residual, you want that residual income. If I'm gonna be an affiliate for your product, bro, you better make me stay around. You better make me stick around because there's a million products I can be talking about. You better make me stick around. And one stick rate is the fact that you can pay out of residual. You could pay out of monthly income, but again, not everything's like that, dude. Most affiliate marketing products that you're offering are one-offs. They're just one-off programs, right? Keep it real. Even if you're an affiliate marketer on Amazon, Amazon has a huge, huge freaking affiliate marketing side of it all. Look, Amazon, Associates, this is a whole, you can come here, man. Amazon Associates Central and set up a free account through Amazon. And now you can go become an affiliate and recommend and refer any product under the Amazon umbrella. That sounds freaking insanely amazing, right? But there's just a lot of downfalls. First of all, it's not a lot of income. It's not a huge percentage, which means you gotta be selling a lot. And every time you grab a link from Amazon, what are you gonna do? Go post it on your Facebook page. What are you gonna do? Go tweet it to your 1700 Twitter followers. Like what are you gonna do if we can post it on your LinkedIn? Like come on, dude. What are you gonna do? Post it on your Facebook business page when you got 400 likes and it's irrelevant to all of them. Like what are you gonna do? That's what I'm saying. You have to be running Facebook ads. You have to be running Facebook ads to a landing page to capture the lead. Once you capture the lead, then you can have that email list, that email automation. That's another reason why you need Karcher. So you can be now emailing different offers with your list. Karcher brought in that lead from the landing page. The Karcher email automation kept in there from the nurturing of the list. And because I'm able to email them as many times as I want for free, that's what I do, but I bring value. And I also mix in a sprinkle of freaking offers from different affiliate programs that may be within that same line of interest, right? So there's many, many opportunities, man. But the most successful affiliate marketers are those who are building content. Those that are sharing content, building a YouTube channel, it doesn't get any more realer than this. This freaking video on video, it does not get any more realer than this, dude. Do I need all of you to like me? Hell no, do I want all of you to like me? Hell no, it's not needed, build your brand. Your little army is all you need, man. And so that's why I'm fired up on teaching you guys and just letting you know how simple it really can be. It really can be, but you gotta go the right way. And Karcher is needed for all this, man. I would like to promote products successfully and make sales, that's Karcher. I have tried different strategies and just cannot seem to make conversion. David, I am completely transparent with you. I'm brand new to the game. I have piqued my interest, I lost my job. I'd love to become a reputable affiliate marketer. I just don't know where to start and need guidance. Karcher is where you start, man. Karcher is where you start. Bottom line, you need to be building a list. You need to be driving traffic. You need to be offering and building an audience of like-minded people. Like whether that's health, whether that's focused on the industry of meditation, whether that's focused on the industry of marketing or digital marketing or social media marketing, whatever, man. If that's on the interest of baking or that's on the interest of cooking, it doesn't matter, dude. You can do whatever you wanna do and build that tribe of followers. So you wanna do it via YouTube first. You wanna do it through driving traffic to a landing page to capture the lead, okay? That's where you wanna start, man. Set up a 14-day trial, Gladys. There's a link in the description. ProfitwithKarcher.online. Set up a 14-day trial. I will help you put all the pieces to the puzzle and I'll give you my time for free. We'll jump on a strategy call. I'll walk you through from A to Z how this Karcher system works. But at the same time, we also, every Tuesday and Thursday, we have a live Karcher support call. This is a live webinar where Karcher support jumps on every Tuesday and Thursday at 1 p.m. Pacific. So I'll link this in the description as well. You don't even have to have a 14-day trial. You don't have to be a paid user at all. You can join in on these live webinars every Tuesday and Thursday. Ask a question. Hey, how do I put together a landing page? Hey, how do I set my email automation? Or hey, how do I freaking put my Facebook pixel on my thank you page so I can set up a Facebook conversions, custom conversion and I can get these ads going. How do I do that? You can jump on every Tuesday and Thursday and ask all these random questions, man. And then at the same time, on Facebook, tons and tons of support. On Facebook, if you come over here to the actual group, it's this one right here, Karcher official. Karcher official. You'll see Karcher official. This group has like over 20,000 people in the group. Dude, 20,000 people in the group. You can come in, ask a question and you'll have 20,000 people give you a phenomenal answer. So the support is absolutely insane and you don't even have to be a full paid member. Just set up the 14-day trial, register for these weekly webinars to really know the type of service you're in the presence of. And again, man, I always tell people, I'm like, dude, compare it. Whatever business you're building, if you're trying to capture a lead on the internet, if you're trying to get people to schedule an appointment with you on the internet, if you're trying to communicate people via email and you have a business and there's obviously a message or a product or a service that we wanna talk about all the time, who are we emailing a list, right? If you're not doing any of that, man, that's what this is all about. So that's set up a 14-day trial, register for the, I'll leave the link for this weekly call. I'll leave a link to the Facebook page and compare it, man. I always tell people, compare it. Compare it to what you're currently using and see if it's not night and day to you guys. So hopefully that made sense. Glad it's cartridge for it all, man. Cartridge for it all, one software for it all. Set up your 14-day trial, reach out to me and I'll give you my time for free. All right, guys, I'll see you in the next call over and out.
