I've been doing affiliate marketing for Almost seven years now and I wouldn't Touch affiliate marketing unless I Understood these 10 things let's roll The first thing you need to understand Is that 95 of what you see on YouTube is Bogus and the videos are only being Created for views they're as fake as This play money that I'm using to fan Myself right here no but you need to Understand the YouTube algorithm rewards The Sensational no one wants to hear About how you worked for two years to Slowly build up an affiliate business That finally allowed you to quit your Job they want to hear how you made five Thousand dollars in the first 24 hours Of starting affiliate marketing and how You retired two weeks later a complete Millionaire now that would be great if That had actually happened to anybody But I don't know anybody personally Who's actually managed to pull that off Yet that's how 95 percent of the YouTube Videos in the space look and that's Because they're getting paid every time Someone watches their video they need Millions and millions of views they Don't need to tell the truth and that's Because all the YouTubers are getting Paid based on how many views they get Not on actual value and how well their Video actually shows their viewers real Substance essential strategies that work
So you need to watch every video with a Wary eye assuming that they're probably Out there to get you the next thing you Need to understand is time versus money Versus organic versus paid so there's a Bunch of different strategies out there I'm going to tell you right now every Single strategy that you do is going to Require you to either sacrifice your Time or it's going to require you to Sacrifice your money which means you're Either gonna have to pay money to run Ads to really quickly get results or You're going to have to put in a bunch Of time to learn algorithms put out a Bunch of content and see how that plays Out now going back to the first example There's a lot of YouTube videos saying No time required no money required make Money in 24 hours right they're taking Those things and they're removing Reality because the reality is you're Going to have to sacrifice and it's Going to be up to you whether you Sacrifice time or you sacrifice money to Figure out this game moving on to number Three sorry guys hopefully we're not Giving everyone a headache as we bounce Back and forth we're doing a lot of Testing right now as we implement the New hammock filming setup having a lot Of fun with it but hopefully it's not Hurting your eyes or something like that Let me know your thoughts down below
I've had a lot of fun sitting setting it Up and filming in it and working in it For the last few years number three is One ninety five percent of you have Probably heard and yet still ninety Percent of you are probably still not Following and that's everything needs to Be focused on building your list in the Beginning I can tell you right now that I've had Google ads accounts shut down I've had Facebook ads accounts shut down I've had YouTube accounts shut down I've Had Tick Tock accounts get shut down I've had Instagram accounts get shut Down everything out there is run and Owned by someone that's not you unless You're Mark Zuckerberg watching my video In which case I'm quite honored but for The rest of you you don't own these Platforms they own these platforms and At any moment they could change the Algorithm or they could look at your Profile your channel and they could say We don't agree with what's being talked About here and it could be removed and If you talk to any affiliate marketer That's been in the game for any amount Of time they will tell you that has Happened to a vast majority of them so The only thing that you can actually own Is either a list of phone numbers or a List of email addresses that you have Permission to contact which means you Need to focus on capturing people's
Email ad addresses now we have a lot of Videos on this but essentially you're Going to create a page that looks just Like this one right here you're going to Send people there you're going to Capture their email addresses and then You're going to start try to sell them Stuff but you're not going to sell a Thing until you have an email address From every possible person that's Looking at your content the real bonus Of this is that after time as your list Grows to one two three five thousand People anytime you need money for any Reason you can walk over to your Computer you can send an email to Everybody on your list and you can make Money within 24 hours it's that fast It's real your list will always be your Greatest asset in your affiliate Marketing business the next thing you Need to know is that traffic is Everything and traffic is how many Clicks you get to your lead Pages you Get to your affiliate links all of that Traffic is what you're getting from Tick Tock what you're getting from Facebook YouTube all these platforms that you're Going to go out there and create content On that is 95 of the game I can't tell You how many times I've promoted bad Products that had bad funnels that had Bad landing pages that sent Bad Emails But I had traffic I had a lot lot of
People coming from Tick Tock are a lot Of people coming from a platform and I Was still able to make a decent amount Of money because I got a lot of eyeballs On the offer so you need to and must Focus on mastering traffic because once You master traffic everything else will Slowly be refined down the road and you Can just keep sending eyeballs to your Offers and making more more and more Money and I'm not talking fake money I'm Talking real money the next one is Probably the most important one of all And I'm definitely going to Shell it Here and that's joining the Facebook Group automation nation which if you Don't know that's my Facebook group We've got about 20 000 members and I can Promise you right now that the Automation Nation Facebook group is one Of the best places online to connect With other affiliate marketers we've got People just starting at affiliate Marketing in there we've got people Making ten thousand a month a hundred Thousand a month we have people in there Literally making a million dollars a Month from affiliate marketing which Means there's a lot of really good Experience inside that group and people Are very active so you need to join a Community and the automation nation is Probably the best community for that if You go down below we'll leave a link to
That for you to go ahead and get started There and not only that you'll get a Great example of affiliate marketing as We capture your email address on your Way into the group because we practice What we preach please put in your email Address the next thing you need to Understand is the different types of Affiliate programs out there there's High ticket there's low ticket and There's recurring High ticket is offers Typically that are a thousand dollars or More meaning that you can make four to Five hundred dollars on every single Sale that you get or more low ticket is Typically I would say a hundred dollars Or less which would be Amazon or Anything along those lines where you're Really not making a lot of commissions You need to get a ton of volume and then Recurring is something like a software Product where every single month Somebody pays that company and you get Paid every single month I prefer to Focus and a vast majority of Affiliates Prefer to focus on high ticket or Recurring because you don't need a Thousand eyeballs to get a couple Dollars in sales you can get you know 50 To 100 people and you can make a Thousand to five thousand dollars with Just that number of eyeballs on your Products the next one is that reputation Is everything and what I mean by that is
If you promote a product that's terrible And a product that your audience hates And you send them and tell them they Should buy it that's going to be the Last time anyone listens to your Recommendations that means that your Reputation is going to be the most Important thing you have as you collect These email addresses they'll buy more And more and more from you until you Promote something that they don't like And that's when it all ends so focus on Your reputation once you start growing Do not ever do anything unethical don't Promote a product that your audience Won't actually benefit from and you'll Be able to make a lot more money in the Long run by doing so I'm wearing a Purple tie with a blue shirt my wife Would kill me the next lesson is to be a Leader not a follower and what I mean by This is when I first started I didn't Really know what I was doing and it Actually worked out good for me and so I Went out there and I was looking for Products to review and to talk about and Things like that and I was making videos About Bitcoin in 2017 when no one was Really that interested in Bitcoin now it Was just six months later when Bitcoin Blew up and I was able to make a ton of Money with these videos that I had Already put out because I was ahead of The trend now the same thing happened
When I first started promoting a product Called click funnels which was a Software company where it wasn't that Big and there weren't a million people Talking about it when I first heard About it signed up and started to Promote it but eventually it grew huge And I was able to capitalize on that Growth and do very very well so you Don't want to be a follower who goes in And says oh look for the last five years All these guys have done well with this You want to be someone that does his Research and actually finds the next Best thing so you're ahead of the curve And when other people start to find out About the next best thing you're already Positioned you're already the guy with Videos in place you're the guy with Expertise on that matter you're the one That people think about when they think About that product that's the next best Thing and now that I've mentioned the Word Bitcoin one single time in this Video we're gonna get about 5 000 spam Bots down below so keep an eye out for Those and go ahead and report them That's what happens every time I mention Bitcoin so that's a great example for Lesson two don't spam people's YouTube Channels or if you do don't spam my YouTube channel and the last one the Most important one of them all the most Important lesson you could learn is that
The instant things start going good for You you better be ready because they're Probably about to crumble this is going To be the bumpiest road you can possibly Imagine just a few months ago me and my Team had been working for probably a Year building up one of our blogs and we Built up this blog and we were kind of Stagnant right we were getting about 400 Visits every single day to this blog and It was it was stuck for like six months We could not get above this 400 visit Threshold we were pumping out content And finally one day we got a few more Articles to rank and it just shot us up We were up to like five or six hundred In a single day we were getting a 50 More traffic which meant we were making More money things were going good we had Finally kind of broken this barrier and Then wouldn't you know it within just a Few days of that Google released a new Core update to their algorithm and we Lost not only the new traffic we'd Received but we went down to where we Were actually lower than we were before Down to getting two or three hundred Visits a month instead of our original 400 visits a month and that's the name Of the game that happens to everybody The people that win in affiliate Marketing are the people that just keep Climbing the mountain no matter how many Times they trip and fall down that
Mountain because it's a rough road and Everyone trips now we're gonna give one Bonus tip because as I totally spaced This and I was looking at my outline I Always use an outline and somehow missed One and that's the rule of ones and this Is my favorite one by far I can't Believe we're saving it till the end Thank you so much for still watching Because you get to hear this the rule of Ones is the number one thing I would say You need to focus on in the beginning And that's that you need to pick one Product you need to pick one single Traffic Source meaning you're a tick Tocker or a Facebook guy or a YouTube Person right one product one traffic Source and then one landing page to Capture email addresses and you're gonna Focus everything you have on those Things for six months you're not gonna Get distracted by all the YouTube videos Promising you tons of money for these Easier methods you're not going to get Distracted by different traffic sources That people on Facebook are telling you You need to switch to you're going to Focus you're gonna pick a source you're Gonna go crazy for six months you're Gonna push traffic on that Source Talking about the one affiliate product That you want to promote and then if it Doesn't work yeah you might want to Revisit but the number one issue new
Affiliate marketers have is they get Distracted and they don't give things a Fair shake and they move on before they Hit that most successful moment this is One of my favorite pictures of all time It's this guy digging for gold and he Digs forever and then right before he Gets to the gold he turns around and Gives up and goes back and that's the Story of so many affiliate marketers Where they slowly get good at something And then right before the actual results Of them learning and getting good at Something occur they leave and go try Something else and it's crazy but it's Human nature and we all do it now guys Really quick this channel mostly all About affiliate marketing it's all I do It's how I make a vast majority of my Money is actually doing affiliate Marketing and then showing people on This channel what I do so if you want to Follow along on that Journey my goal is To do this until I retire hopefully at 35 and so follow along that Journey Click subscribe and then I'll leave a Link down below as well to some Resources a webinar that talks deeper About my style of affiliate marketing And things like that I would go hop into That watch that webinar again if you Have any questions let me know in the Comments thank you so much for watching
