 How a beginner can become a successful affiliate marketer with no experience part two of two Okay guys, we're gonna continue on this training on affiliate marketing and if you haven't watched video one I suggest you go back and watch video one right after this They don't necessarily have to be done in order But it does make more sense and you'll find a link to that in the description below So check that out. Also, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't done so if that button down there is red It's trying to tell you something. It's trying to say you haven't subscribed So you need to click that button turn a gray and turn on all bell notifications So you're notified every single time I do a new video now Let's get into this affiliate marketing stuff more in the previous videos I was talking about different types of products you can sell in this video I want to talk about informational products. These are awesome products. I've created some myself I've marketed other people's who have informational products and they're incredibly profitable and people love to buy them Now what are informational products with their generally products that teach something? Okay, maybe a marketer does them or maybe a blogger does them or maybe some authority somebody with you know Some type of background doesn't I've done quite a few informational products Because I sell products online I've sold millions of dollars of both digital and physical products and in doing so I learned stuff when I learned stuff I put it into a course if we sell that course So they're pretty cool, but there's a lot of reasons why they're cool the first reason you're really gonna like They're usually higher price, you know, I've got some courses that are two three thousand dollars. Okay, very expensive But that means your commissions are going to be much higher when you promote these things, too Generally these types of products have a personality behind them So when you sell let's say Facebook ads university or digital cash Academy It is my training from my experience So that makes the product a lot easier to sell because it has a personality behind them Now generally if they're done by somebody like me and you're promoting my products They're gonna have a lot of emails that come behind it. It's gonna be a full funnel behind it So it gives you more of an opportunity to actually make the sale because it was done by a marketer just like myself And the last thing I really like I think this is the most important thing is informational products They generally solve a problem. They take away pain. They know the pain points and they fix them for people So that's another cool reason why you'd want to sell now I will tell you it's a little bit more difficult to become a marketer of digital products Because the creator of the course is more cautious about who they let promote their products They don't want people making some grandiose claims about, you know, their course or anything They want you to stick to a strict way of promoting that product But I think that's actually a good thing and the cool thing is the profits. I mean the profits are amazing They're generally anywhere from 30 to 50 percent. So let's say you're selling one of my courses for 997 We'll say a thousand dollars. You're gonna get 300 to 500 dollars when you sell one of those courses That's pretty good. You don't have to sell too many of those a day, you know You sell two courses a day at 500 bucks. You're making a thousand dollars a day. That's not bad money Some of these products are also recurring So people get billed every single month a set amount of money, for example, TubeBuddy TubeBuddy is a great tool. You need it if you have a YouTube channel And I do have a link my affiliate link in the description below There's a free version of it you can get by clicking that link down there If you decide that you want to go for the paid version, I can save you 30 percent, which is pretty cool deal You get a good deal, but keep in mind every single month that you pay I get a recurring payment of 20 percent, which is very very nice I like those recurring payments now I want to share with you three of the companies. I really do recommend the first one is clickbank Clickbank is a great place to find informational products digital products all kinds of courses They have some physical products, but primarily it's digital and they're going to pay you anywhere from 10 to a hundred percent Commission, so that's a pretty darn good commission. That's a great place to go find products They usually vet the products first. They make sure they're not garbage They make sure you know they they stand behind what they say they're going to do in that particular course So that's a great place another place to Really have a good affiliate relationship is through Bluehost Bluehost is one of the preferred vendors for hosting a website a lot of people have websites Bluehost has an affiliate program. You can get in on that affiliate program. That's really awesome program I like that a lot next one is share a sale You can go to share a sale and they have tons of affiliate offers in there Matter of fact our survival food products are also on share a sale and you could promote those products through there And lastly if you're marketing on the internet Cartra Cartra Cartra Cartra is amazing. They have a great affiliate program if you look down in the description There's a link to Cartra. I would suggest you click it and watch the video It doesn't cost you anything. You don't need a credit card Don't even need to put your email address in However, if you decide you want to get Cartra, you can use my link and get a trial for only $1 But those are four of the top affiliate areas. I think you should go to right in the beginning Immediately get into those programs a lot of people like to put banners over their websites That is a good way to do affiliate marketing and you can make money The problem with that is it kind of clutters up your website It doesn't make it look that attractive So there are other ways you can go about doing affiliate marketing without having all those banners on your website I think one of the best ways is just to have links Especially if you have a blog or if you have YouTube videos like I do I have links below a lot of them are Affiliate links when you have a blog and you have links and then you're talking about a particular thing Let's say I was talking about Cartra and what a great marketing tool it is The word Cartra would actually be a link that would take you to Cartra where you could purchase it And I could actually earn a commission on it Besides that if you put just links throughout your blog or down below in the description of your videos It doesn't clutter things up now You can't put banners on YouTube unless you're actually buying ads But on your website you could you could you know put Google ads all down the side all these things are flashing and moving Very irritating to the person reading the article though So using these affiliate links works really great And you can make a lot of money without cluttering up your website now Let's talk about some of those kinds of blogs you would have where you would use affiliate marketing a Resource guide so if you if you put the words resource guide. This is this is a high SEO Keyword so if you put resource guide for Canon camera equipment or resource guide For shooting YouTube videos that get views people go to that page and they use it as a resource guide Where they actually go through it you can put all kinds of different affiliate links in there It's extremely helpful to the reader and also it's gonna be helpful to you because they're gonna be clicking on your links The next thing I would say is affiliate marketing with product reviews now product reviews can be done in a blog You can talk about you know the four different kinds of vacuum cleaners Or you could also do a video on YouTube and you could talk about the four different kinds of vacuum cleaners You could compare them back and forth and then you could give your opinion of the best one and then for all the vacuum cleaners You could have four different links down there So they could go and buy that particular vacuum cleaner of which they're gonna be your affiliate links now If you want these to be really effective try to give a story about how you actually use that product Be very clear and concise and at the end of your product reviews Give your honest opinion about which one you think would be best a lot of videos that are you know Cartra software versus infusion soft software or keep they call it now, which is better People love videos like that. They love blogs like that and you're gonna get a lot of traffic Just by the nature of the type of comparison it is and of course, you know email marketing email marketing works great If you go to clickbank You're gonna find that most of the top offers already have the emails written for you All you have to do is insert your name You have to insert what your affiliate link is and you're off to the races and a lot of people say Well, I don't have hundreds of thousands of people or millions of people on my list You really don't need that many I mean if you have a list of a thousand people or more you can you can send out some emails and make some Money seeing people do it It just depends on the relationship you have with your list if you haven't mailed them in six months And then you send them an offer you won't do as well as if you're sending them content every single week And you're keeping them warm and they're open in your emails It is important if you have an email list to email them, you know, I used to think well I don't want to email my list because people will unsubscribe Well, there's no point in having subscribers if you don't send an email. There's just no point So I finally learned that started emailing a whole lot more than started making more money kind of makes sense, right? Now I will tell you you want to be cautious a lot of products say they're gonna pay a high commission And you're gonna make all this money, but what is their background? What is their history if you go to clickbank you can go to the gravity of a product and you can see exactly how well that Product's doing you may want to talk to the creator and ask him about their click-through rate Their earnings per click that type of thing So don't send out offers that don't convert well because if you send out offers to your list that don't convert Well, they're not going to convert well for you So number one you've wasted your time, but number two it may even get unsubscribed because it's a bad offer So be real cautious about that. Now if you don't use like a clickbank a link You're gonna want to probably use a link shortener. I like to use bitly Because the actual link is really really long for most affiliate links. It's an ugly link You don't want it, right? So what we want to do is have a bitly link a much shorter link that looks nice and clean and you can actually Customize a bitly link where you can put, you know, whatever customized name you want at the end of it And those do tend to convert better than one that just have a bunch of numbers and your letters and that type of thing Now I remember when I got started I really didn't even know what affiliate marketing was it took me a while to wrap my head around it And I wish I wish I had done it in the beginning because you know, I did start over a decade ago If I had been doing affiliate links back then and I was getting reoccurring payments now It would have built up over 10 years and I would have a lot more money, but that's okay The question is when do you start doing it and I will tell you today start doing it today Start using affiliate links today, especially if it's recurring payments I mean imagine if you you know, you have 10 people paying you one month and then the next year You have a hundred the next year you have a thousand and then 10,000 even if you're getting five or six bucks You get five bucks. You get 10,000 people paying on it You're making 50 $60,000 a month just an affiliate money and that may seem kind of far-fetched to you now But that stuff builds up even on this YouTube channel, which we we got it monetized last year It's already building up and it's building up really nice and it's it's producing money for me And when it produces money for me, it produces money for YouTube and it's a great relationship Because YouTube lets me do videos for free. That's pretty darn cool They say here's a platform and we're gonna put you know hundreds of millions of people on it And we're gonna let you do videos for free and if people like them will pay you I mean what the heck that's pretty good deal, right? So the last piece of advice I would give you if you want to get into affiliate marketing It's kind of build your brand let people know who you are Let them start trusting you if you're into woodworking do woodworking videos if you're into cooking do cooking videos Whatever it is you're into Start building your brand so people know who you are if they know who you are and they trust you They're probably gonna use your affiliate links and you're gonna make money So you might as well capitalize on that now if you're serious about making money online I have some free resources below.
