 Hey, welcome back. So in this video, I wanna talk about how I leveraged my audience and affiliate marketing to create a $400 plus per month passive income stream in just one day. And over the next few months, I wanna be using this exact strategy that I'm gonna share with you today to create a few more passive income streams just like this one. And so I want to share behind the scenes of how it worked and how you can do this for yourself. So stick around to the end. If you have an audience especially and you're not doing affiliate marketing, this is gonna help you add a few hundred dollars per month to your income stream almost immediately if you follow this. So stick around to the end. You're gonna see that entire strategy in this video. Now, before I jump in, make sure if you like the content, hit the like and subscribe button.

So go ahead, hit the like and subscribe button if you're enjoying the content and you wanna see all of my future videos. With that said, let's dive into my computer now so I can show you how this all works and how I created this $400 per month passive income stream in just one day. All right, so on the screen here, I have a course that I took back in February of this here called Ship 30 for 30. It's all about starting an online writing habit in 30 days and also building your audience on Twitter. And I had a great experience with this course. I love the course. I still talk to a lot of the people who I met in the course and the program and I was able to grow my audience and make a lot of money from that audience from scratch on Twitter. And so whenever somebody asked me how I got my start on Twitter, I tell them about this program. I refer them and recommend them to this program. And up until end of September, I wasn't getting paid for that. So I didn't get paid for all the people that I recommended. Don't even know how many people I told about but I talked about it a few times in my email newsletters and to my email list and to my Facebook group and I wasn't getting paid for that. But just a few weeks back, Dickey Bush, who's one of the co-founders of Ship 30 reached out and said that they had an affiliate program they were opening where they would pay out $100 for anyone who recommended new customers or new students to their course here. So I said, sure, why not? I've already been recommending people, highly recommend this program and I'm pretty picky about what I promote. It's usually my own products because I have control over my own products in case the quality's bad, I can improve it. But I like this program and I know it's getting better and better so I had no problem recommending this to my audience. So if I go here, this is, I started doing this September 26th or so and I just, I made a YouTube video about it which I'm gonna show you here. And so far, these say $50 because they paid and they picked a two payment plan or three payment plan. And you can see here, it's $100 for this first one and I'm gonna get the rest of the $50 for each of these on November 2nd and November 3rd here. So this is just gonna go on and on. They opened this program, I think, once every month and a half or so. So whenever they reopen it, I'm gonna have this passively moving and getting more affiliate commissions for anyone who watches my review video and signs up through my link for this program here. So really, in just, when did I upload this video? This is my review video. September 23rd, I uploaded this video and within a few days, I got my first affiliate commission, September 27th, and I don't have to touch this anymore. I sent out an email to my list to this video as well where they could watch the video and they can sign up through my link. But I don't have to do any more work and this is gonna keep generating me more and more commissions every single month when they open this program. 400 plus or so is probably reasonable for what I can expect. I'm just gonna send out an email whenever they reopen it and I'm gonna send them right back to this video. I spent one day or just a few hours in a day creating this review video and I linked to the program in my description here and this is just a passive income stream for me. A few hundred dollars every month. I don't have to do any other work and that's not a ton of money, $400 a month but it's pretty good for not doing anything else after this. This is an asset that I spent a few hours on that's gonna generate me hundreds of dollars, potentially even $1,000 plus every single month for as long as they run this program. So what I wanna do is just break down really quickly how you can do this for yourself. There's just a simple three step process on how you can start doing this and if you have an audience especially, this is gonna be something you can start doing today. So the first thing I did and that you should have to do is to build your audience. Having an audience is super important for affiliate marketing and even selling your own products. For affiliate marketing especially, people are going to buy through your link because they trust your recommendation and if you don't have an audience built up it's very hard to get people to buy through your link because why would they? They don't trust you, they don't know who you are. So I have an audience across multiple different platforms on YouTube, Facebook groups, my email list and now my Twitter. And I tap into these audiences to offer my own products and also to recommend other people's products that I enjoy like ship 30 for 30. Now, audience building is out of scope for this video but I will link to a video below on how to get your first thousand followers on Twitter and if you guys wanna see more videos around audience building and growing an audience from scratch on a specific platform, let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to make a video around that. So let me know if you wanna see more videos about audience building in the comments. The second thing that I did to make this affiliate marketing passive income stream work was I got a result with a product that I bought. So ship 30 for 30 is a course around helping you build an online writing habit and also helping you to build your Twitter audience. And because I was able to build my Twitter audience to over 4,600 followers, I had some results to show and I had some results to point back to, hey, this program helped me to build my following here and it helped me to write everyday on this platform. So it's important in affiliate marketing to have some kind of result that gets people excited to wanna do the same thing. So anyone who wants to grow their audience or build their audience on Twitter or start writing more frequently online, they're gonna get excited about that because they are seeing my results from going through this program. So anytime you buy a product or a course or anything that you are spending money on, try to get a result with it and you can share that and you can use that to generate affiliate commissions and a lot of products have affiliate programs. So whatever you're buying, whether it's a physical product or a digital course or a digital product, try to get a result with it so that you can share your story and then start recommending it to other people and getting paid for that. Once you get a result, other people are gonna wanna follow in your footsteps and get the same result that you did and they're gonna trust you and be willing to follow in your footsteps and use your link because you were able to get a result with the product that you're recommending. The third step in this process was I just simply told my audience about it. So I made an evergreen review video about my experience with Ship 30 for 30 and my results and what I liked and didn't like about it. I uploaded it to YouTube and now that asset is gonna be a moneymaker for months and months and potentially even years if they continue the program that long and I don't have to do any more work. The program opens every 30 to 45 days or so. So really all I have to do is whenever it opens up again, I just send out an email to my list and say, hey, this is a program I highly recommend for building an online writing habit and building a Twitter audience. They're reopening again. Here's my link if you want to support me. I highly recommend this program. If you wanna build your audience and start writing online, check out this program and send that a link to that. Send it to the review video. They can watch that. They sign up through my link. I get $100 per sale, completely passive. I don't have to do any work on delivery. So that's the three step process on how I created a $400 per month passive income stream in just one day and it doesn't need to be complicated or difficult. All I did, the three steps again was I built my audience first. I got a result with the product that I bought and then I just told my audience about the result that I got and I made a simple review video on YouTube and that's gonna live on for months and months and even years. Now the cool thing is I am able to use this exact three step process to create more of these passive income streams. I have not been doing this very well at all but I can go back and look at the different products that I bought and different programs and make review videos about it or talk about it to my email list and recommend them to these different things that have helped me and get paid passively for it. So things that I'm already buying and getting results with, I can recommend it and get paid for that. I can do this a lot better over the next few months and that's what I plan to do. Now one more thing, if you'd like to learn more about email marketing and how I'm using that to create these semi-passive and passive income streams, go to emailrainmaker.com which will take you to my free Facebook group and my email list where I talk more about that and that's it for this video.
