hey everyone welcome back to the channel so in this all-inclusive tutorial we are going to go step by step showing you exactly how to get started with affiliate marketing some different traffic routes we’re going to talk about paid traffic versus free traffic but we’re really going to go in depth in affiliate marketing to show you everything that you need to know when it comes to making money as an affiliate marketer now the one thing i hate that i have to disclaim this but look i’m not selling any products i’m not trying to get you to buy my affiliate marketing course that i’m selling for a thousand dollars i’m not doing any of that because the truth is i don’t sell any online courses this is totally free information you can learn all of this for free on the internet with youtube tutorials and a number of other different resources so with that said let’s get started with this video if you’re new here the channel make sure you subscribe for more videos like this we do our best to bring out as many marketing videos as possible but this is a very very fun opportunity and i’m very excited that you landed on this video i recommend you take out a pen take out a piece of paper and let’s jump into this now so first of all affiliate marketing we’re going to talk about exactly what it is and some strategies and some of my best pointers for how to get a higher conversion rates and how to just essentially make more money with this process because in the past few years my brother mike and i have scaled up our affiliate marketing businesses uh to generating thousands of dollars per month and we’ll show you exactly how we do that we’ll actually take you into some of our accounts i suppose we could do that in this video as well but what i love about affiliate marketing and the reason why i think it is the best opportunity to get started with as a business is because it’s totally free to start you don’t have to have money to buy products and then sell products i see a lot of people who want to start a business or they want to start generating money and they think that they need to have money to make money now truth be told it is easier to make money when you already have money but with affiliate marketing you really don’t have to have anything now as you can see in this video it’s probably best to start with 100 or 200 just to get the ball rolling a little bit faster but if you want to you could literally start with zero dollars uh there really is no threshold for that so that’s one of the best things about it there’s really no barrier to entry when it comes to making money as an affiliate marketer so it’s incredibly lean as a startup um and so with this there’s almost nothing to lose there’s almost no risk associated with this now maybe there’s some small levels of risk like time for example putting in your time but i can promise you this that if you follow some of these steps in this video you’re going to find that it’s almost impossible to fail and to not make money with some of these things that we can be doing so the first thing that i want to do is we need to clear up the air a little bit about affiliate marketing kind of look at how it’s gone in the past five 10 15 years it’s actually been around for quite some time it’s been around really since the 90s but in practice it’s almost been around before the internet i’ll give you an example here so the way that affiliate marketing will work is essentially what you will do is you as the affiliate marketer can choose to promote products for businesses and every time that somebody buys a product or you get a lead or a sale for somebody who bought that product you will get a commission or a piece of the pie so think uh if if i’m going to get you to sign up for a product let’s say that i’m i’m going to get you to sign up for a bank account we’ll actually talk about one of my youtube channels which has about 500 000 subscribers and how i do from that from a thousand clicks let’s say that i get a hundred people being extremely conservative a hundred people sign up for this bank and i get a hundred dollar commission in my pocket for every person who signs up for it this is this is common knowledge you can look at this on cj.com commission junction we’ll talk about that later as well but a hundred dollar commission in my pocket times a hundred people who signed up from it from this video that’s a hundred times a hundred is about ten thousand dollars in my pocket from this video that only got 120 000 views it’s not some massive david dobrik 10 million viewed video it’s doesn’t have that many views compared to the standard on youtube but it still has made thousands of dollars in the process so each one of these financial products can make quite a bit of money same for m1 finance this is a brokerage firm that makes quite a bit of money but even something like this vpn right here so at one point in some of my videos i’ll mention i’ll say by the way vpn it’ll just be a quick little ad that i’ll do and i’ll say it is an affiliate link i’d like to disclose that it is an affiliate link and i’ll leave it down below in the description so then if people click on this it takes them to nordvpn and i will get roughly i think my commission has generally been about 45 or 47 dollars per person who’s signing up for nordvpn and if this page loads so for example right here you can look that they clicked on the link for nordvpn and they can get it for a pretty discounted price and you might see that for example this this plan here uh you can sign up for a three year plan for 349 a month that’s 125 dollars billed every three years this is what a lot of people sign up for and so i i’m getting i don’t remember the exact percentage that i’m getting for that but usually what i see them coming in is about 45 or so so i’m i’m probably getting a 30 or 40 percent as a commission from nordvpn and actually a lot of websites what we can do here if you’re following along you can see that if you scroll down you’ll see affiliate down here for nordvpn this is actually one of my favorite things to promote which is vpn services because you can make quite a bit of money with them but you can become an affiliate and a lot of companies a lot of websites if you just scroll to the bottom we’ll have a little tiny thing and say affiliates or join as an affiliate and you can go and look over their affiliate program uh and so with nordvpn for example these are the commissions and the payout models that you would be expected to get if you’re promoting them and if people are clicking on your link so you can see that with the one month offer we can get a hundred percent of the sign up right so if if somebody gets a one month subscription to a vpn they pay twenty dollars for it you get 20 in your pocket uh now you’ll also get renewals for each one of these so this means that years down the road and this is actually pretty amazing to see this happen because i actually have affiliates that i’ve gotten people to sign up for things years ago three years ago and i have recurring commissions coming in every single month so long as that person who signed up for it is uh paying for that subscription so these renewal fees are really really a game changer because this can be the most passive income possible once you get people to sign up for things and look i need to make a big disclaimer here that i think it’s important as an affiliate marketer one of the biggest things that i really think is essential is to have a high level of integrity so you know i think affiliate marketing sometimes gets a bad rap from people because there’s a lot of people out there who will just go out there and they’ll promote crap they’ll market crap they’re not good products but they promote them anyway because they want the money they’re greedy little people i don’t know my philosophy from this and the way this
