[00:01] community, this video is for you.  We'll look at what affiliate programs are and how they work.  We'll discuss effective traffic sources and show you the affiliate program I'm currently working with. Hi, my name is Stas Bykov, and today
[00:13] we're talking about affiliate programs.  I believe that affiliate programs are one of the most honest and transparent ways of monetization these days.  There is a key principle at work here.  You help to choose, not sell.  The clearer and more
[00:27] useful your explanation, the more clicks you'll get on the link.  The model might work affiliate program, receive a unique link, and place it comments.  And when someone uses the service through your link,
[00:43] you receive a reward.  But different programs pay differently.  Some pay a fixed amount, others a percentage.  The main thing is that it works in the long run. I distinguish three main types of affiliate programs.   The first and basic ones are for purchase.  When a
[00:58] person follows your link and buys something, you receive a percentage of the amount. stores, marketplaces, and car insurance companies work.  The second type is a lifetime percentage, where you receive a reward not just once, but every
[01:11] month as long as the person uses the service and pays for it.  This is a good option for subscriptions and paid platforms, such as hosting providers. necessarily mean a purchase.  Sometimes it's enough for a person to fill out an application, download
[01:26] an app, or launch an advertising campaign.  This is how YandexDirect's affiliate program works, for example.  To make it easier, I'll show you a real example. YandexDistribution, where you can connect to the YandexDirect affiliate program
[01:39] .  The gist of the work is this: you share your affiliate link, advertising campaign, you receive up to 10,000 rubles.  And what’s interesting is that there is no limit, everything happens automatically.  By the way, the client also benefits.  He receives a
[01:54] promo code for 5,000 rubles.  for the first advertising campaign.  There are no requirements for you regarding the number of publications. You can make one fastening and it will work permanently.  Especially if you already write about marketing, promotion,
[02:07] or marketplaces.  In fact, it’s just monetization of what you already do. If you're interested, I'll leave a link to the registration page below this video.  And here a logical question arises: "Stas, where can I find an audience?"  I have prepared
[02:21] proven working sources for you.  These could include content sites and VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, and other social networks, videos and vertical clips on VKontakte, Zen, Rutube,
[02:33] YouTube, TikTok, and even Twitch, as well as Telegram channels and groups, articles, Zen posts, even services with promo codes and loyalty programs, and, of course, integration with the services of a marketer, contextual specialist, or
[02:46] web studio.  Personally, I am actively developing my own blogs, because they can be very well integrated into almost any business.  For example, my personal website, YouTube channel, VK videos, SEO, and ZN standalone drive good traffic.
[02:59] It would be ideal if the topic of your blog matches the affiliate program, although this is not required.  The main thing to understand is that your content will be seen by the target audience of the selected affiliate program.  It is important here not to push, but to make recommendations on the
[03:13] merits.  Share information that you use yourself.  Then the audience will not perceive it as advertising.  You will be able to earn money without investing in the long term. Now I'll show you how to register for distribution to start earning money
