[00:01] affiliate marketing. Now, some programs have made me over a million dollars, and some programs I've sent thousands of clicks to and made nothing. Now, this is not typical, but in this video, I want to cover what actually works today for
[00:13] includes how to start your affiliate content strategy, joining and getting approved into programs, adding your links, getting paid, and scaling across blogs, social media, and YouTube with the goal of getting to 10K a month. And
[00:26] income launch plan, walks you through the exact step of picking your niche and link is in the description. So, let's get into it. So, I personally have been in hundreds of different affiliate programs over the years. I've made over
[00:40] $5 million with it. Some programs work great, some don't. Some content works, some doesn't. So, I wanted to show you just a quick overview here of all the partner stack. This is one affiliate network. So you can see Thinkific, I've
[00:52] sent 97,000 clicks and made $1.1 million. That is not typical by any interesting. So like for example, I sent 21,000 clicks to Learn Worlds and made 191,000. That's really good, right? But then other brands like Printify, I sent
[01:09] then other brands like Printify, I sent 1,800 clicks to and I made $3. So working? What isn't? What do we look for in good affiliate programs? We'll cover that in a second. And then this is my impact dashboard over the last just 30
[01:22] consolidated it down to really only focusing on like one affiliate program in here. So Blue Host is in here, right? So I have,00 clicks, made $13,000 in the
[01:34] last 30 days. You can see there's not many clicks for other brands. So really, finding affiliate programs, we're starting with a content first strategy, figuring out a niche that you can dominate, finding the programs, joining
[01:48] So, let's get into it. So, how do we pick a profitable niche is probably the most common question I get. Well, we need high ticket products where you can make $50 to $500 per commission, not like $3 a commission. We want evergreen
[02:01] demand. So things like fitness, finance, hobbies, software, things that people are buying consistently over the course of time, which is most niches. And then be able to have, you know, we need to be able to publish like 50 plus pieces of
[02:14] content and spread it out over a lot of different product categories in order to make money. So you don't want to be too broad like I'm in health or wellness. We want to be a little bit more specific, but we don't want to go too narrow
[02:26] either. So how do you find affiliate programs? Well, like I'm saying, we want to choose a niche first and then fill in like the top three affiliate programs that we're interested in joining. But if we want to find some, there's affiliate
[02:39] networks and there's affiliate programs themselves. So affiliate programs are either inside of a network like a marketplace or they're on their own with their own software. For example, I was showing you partner stack and you can
[02:51] see different partnerships like for example Manyhat here earn 30 to 50% uh someone becomes a customer, you get paid customer for the first 12 months. So, it says this. I'm actually in this one. So,
[03:06] just click apply. So, you can see them and you can apply. Same thing in Impact. If you go to discover, find brands, it'll show you all the different ones different categories. You can see lots of different stuff. World of Tanks, earn
[03:21] up to $12 per new player. So, it has, you know, every affiliate network looks there's buttons to apply, there's how much you make, there's contact information and all of that. And sometimes affiliate programs are just
[03:33] brands, like this is machine.ai, I'm an affiliate for them. You can see there's in its own software, that's like there's a dashboard, there's where you get your links, there's your reporting, like how many people you've brought in, your
[03:47] stats, and then there's like how you're getting paid PayPal. It's really that need is your affiliate link, the reports of what you made, and a PayPal payout method. So, I'm going to show you real quick a uh chat GPT prompt that can help
[04:01] remember a few things. Don't spread yourself too thin. You don't need to be in 50 programs. You can find two to three best converters in your niche. Because like I was showing you, the interesting thing is if I go back to
[04:13] this, what is what are we looking for in a good affiliate program? Well, one, we actually make money, right? We don't want to make 2% like Amazon or something like that. We want to make fair amount of money for the sale. But the biggest
[04:26] factor that we can't really see when you're joining is the conversion rate of marketing, we're sending a click whether it's from a blog post, a YouTube video, a short video. We're sending a click to this brand and it's on them to convert
[04:41] conversion rates. So we could send a,000 clicks. If they're if their conversion money. So, as we can see from this, we want brands that convert well, which is usually the uh mid-pric point most popular brands in the niche. For
[04:56] example, if you're promoting golf clubs, although you might make more money theoretically on a $5,000 set of clubs making 10%, that's 500 bucks, the conversion rate on that could be astronomically lower than that $1,000
[05:11] astronomically lower than that $1,000 mid-tier well-known reput reputable brand that makes you 10% on a thousand, you're making a h 100red. But the affiliate marketing. And it's really hard to know until you actually can see
[05:25] the data, right, before you, you know, actually get clicks. So, just know like converters. So, here are some tips for getting approved. First, you don't have away. If you have no traffic yet, you have no website, you have no YouTube
[05:39] channel, then you can wait a little bit until you join these programs. You don't need to do it right away. And the second thing is when you think about it, like thing is when you think about it, like if I go to impact and I go back to home,
[05:52] it'll show me like I have a bunch of programs that have they have 159 invitations. So people have sent me all these different invitations to join the when you apply to an affiliate program within a network. There's an affiliate
[06:07] human being doing their job and they're going to manually review every single affiliate. So, as an affiliate, you're a publisher. The main job of the affiliate manager, which I was one for a couple years, so I saw both sides of this. I
[06:22] was managing 4,000 affiliates for a software company. And the main job of the affiliate manager is also just to look out for scams and spam. So, there's a lot of scammers out there that will like join affiliate programs, use bots,
[06:34] and just like send clicks and like for demos and trials and try to make money like that. So if you're a new site or you know a new website, new YouTube channel, you can join. I would just say you might get rejected on the first pass
[06:49] if you just are applying. But what you do then is you email the affiliate manager directly. So a lot of the networks and programs have the affiliate LinkedIn and find them. Email them and what you say is, "Hey, I just applied to
[07:02] your affiliate program in Impact. I saw that I was rejected. I just want to let you know like I'm a new site YouTube channel, but I'm really focusing on promote you in all of these different articles, videos about the product
[07:17] category. Uh please, you know, let approve me if you can. Thanks. And that will usually work most of the time because they're just trying to find, you know, if they want more affiliates, it's their job. They see you don't have
[07:29] traffic yet, but you know it's coming, you can actually get approved. So that's face. So one thing is this affiliate marketing program finder. Very simple put your niche here. And I'm going to say like camping. So look for high you
[07:44] know 10 affiliate programs to join. Provide the URL format. I can copy and paste links to join all of that with the brands with the highest commission rate. answer. I'm going to skip it just in the interest of making this video not
[07:56] boring. So So it'll give you some ideas. is it'll give you the name of the brand the cookie duration, which cookie duration is how long after the click will you get credited for the sale. Another reason Amazon sucks is because
[08:10] it's a 24-hour cookie duration or sometimes when you just leave Amazon the cookie goes away unless they add a product to the cart, then it can you'll see cookie duration is usually 30
[08:22] to 90 days. I don't let that affect my, you know, thinking too much on it. I'm but it'll give you the links to join here as well. So, you can kind of start brainstorming different niches that way. So, what I like to do though is instead
[08:36] joining and then trying to figure out how to make money, I do it the reverse way. So, I find the content first, the niche that I can dominate, and then I there's really two ways to do this. If you're doing blogging or you're doing
[08:50] YouTube. So, with blogging, you can use something like hrefs. And you can see, all right, I'm going to put in the word best, which signifies a buyer intent. Buyer intent is really important. And search intent is ba basically how
[09:02] affiliate marketing works. You can get random clicks. But if people are product category, they're looking for the best piece of software, the best fishing equipment, whatever it is, they're much more likely to buy. Way
[09:15] more likely to buy. So this transactional content is going to be the bulk of your affiliate content. But what I can do is kind of get an idea for the to say something like best software. If I put that into hrefs, I can see and I
[09:29] go to the matching terms tool. This is keyword difficulty. So I can start to see how difficult it is. This is a near a number from 0 to 100 based on how instance, I'm going zoom in a little bit. A lot of this is really hard. You
[09:42] can see red is not good. Green is better, but HR software, that's not going to be easy either. So you kind of get a gauge for how difficult the niche is overall. So like maybe best medical spa software is easier, right, than best
[09:56] software. So you have to kind of think about riding the wave, getting on to new trends, new things, new products. What people create content about a topic. A product launches SEO software was
[10:11] created decade or two ago. So once it is, people create blog posts, YouTube longer that happens, the more competitive it gets and sometimes it doesn't make sense to try to jump in 10 years too late. So timing is a crucial
[10:27] not a lot of people talk about, but there's going to be opportunities in software. We just have to look for it. So from if we drop the Whoops. If we drop the uh keyword difficulty and we only show things that are easier, then
[10:41] results. So, we're kind to see like warehouse management, SEO rank tracking. So, we can start to see that there are, you know, still 4,800 software keywords that aren't as competitive. I'd probably avoid software today unless I was doing
[10:57] it on YouTube. YouTube would be great for software. Blogging in Google might be too difficult. Hobby niches are really good when it comes to affiliate marketing uh for blogging. So, for example, if I do best kayak or best, you
[11:11] know, I'll do kayak. Best kayak. You can see I'll even remove this and just show all the results. You'll see pretty much all of the keyword difficulty scores are under 10. So, best inflatable kayak search volume monthly, 4,000 searches a
[11:27] month, best kayak, best fishing kayak, fish finder, paddle. You'll see there's 5,900 keywords that are pretty much all affiliate keywords. So, these would each be one individual article per keyword. Some of them have a little bit of
[11:41] Some of them have a little bit of overlap. For example, um there might be while the same sites are ranking because it's kind of the same thing. But if it's thing. So, if I look that up, the difficulties one, I can see the traffic
[11:57] potential 10,000, best entrylevel fish kayaks, bending branches.com. We can look at the top 10 ranking sites here and we can see the domain rating. So there's 51. This is a number from 0 to 100 based on how difficult it is or how
[12:13] much authority the site has. So obviously YouTube 99, but this is good to see that there's not a ton. There's two YouTube videos, but there's this fishoff.com very good domain domain rating of 19.
[12:26] that's no link building, just kind of getting some natural links and random stuff over the course of time. And then yeah, 51 still relatively lower DR. So it's good to see you can see how competitive is this niche. Well, if you
[12:41] look at who's ranking on the first page of Google, if it's all DR 90 plus media want to do it. So you kind of validate that information. Another way to look at it is um so you can look at that. You
[12:55] You kind of just look at these keyword difficulty numbers. You might find something kind of in the middle like fitness. So, like fitness trackers are very somewhat competitive. Fitness apps, but you have to kind of think what is
[13:08] the search intent behind it. Usually in a niche, it's not going to be best fitness everything. The words are like treadmill, elliptical, bench press, like all kinds of different stuff. So, you might have to go a little bit deeper. Be
[13:21] like best bench press, best grip for it, best angle. See, these are more content in here too. So, best angle for an incline bench press is what angle should it be at? It's not an affiliate article, but something like best bench
[13:36] press for home gym is. So, this one says keyword difficulty of seven. If we look at it though, it's a little bit more competitive than that. So, there's Reddit number one. Garage Gym Reviews is a high authority. Garage uh gym
[13:51] basically fitness site 71 Amazon YouTube there is a good thick sporting good only at 37. They're still on the first page and they're still getting thousand visits a month to this article. So even low domain authority sites can still
[14:05] niche. You have to choose the right content strategy. That's the thing about affiliate marketing. It's easy to join affiliate programs and add links in. The hard part is actually getting traffic which requires a deeper understanding of
[14:19] Another way to do it is I have this AI affiliate marketing prompt I like and we can drop this guy in the chat GPT and this will kind of give me an SEO affiliate strategy. So it'll ask me give me one subniche you'd like to focus on.
[14:33] For example, ultralite can't think of baby strollers, home espress. So not subniche. So I'm going to say like I've got a one-year-old. So, I'm going to say got a one-year-old. So, I'm going to say baby safety products. Okay. And then
[14:45] baby safety products. Okay. And then it'll give me 20 uh affiliate article ideas with the target keyword. So, things like baby stairgates, corner protectors, edge protectors, and then what I can do is I can take this and be
[14:58] like best outlet covers. What's the ail? It's probably like 10 bucks, right? So, I wouldn't want to necessarily do that one, but I could find something maybe a little bit more like the stairgate stairs. Best baby gate stairs. And then
[15:10] like, hm, is there enough content I can create? Could I create 50 affiliate articles in this category for this site? Could I do it? If so, is there enough many baby products out there. So, that would be a good niche if you can start
[15:24] and then if you wanted to validate it, you can use Hrefs. I think it's, you know, before I would say just go with use HRES. Then I was like, we'll just use AI, right? HRES is expensive, but
[15:36] Hrefs has a $29 a month plan now. So, you could just sign up for a month, do all your keyword research, and then cancel if you wanted to. But the $29 a month plan is um makes it a lot more accessible. So, you can validate it and
[15:50] then be like, "All right, my content strategy includes 20 or 50 articles and doing YouTube for affiliate marketing, you can use a different tool, the exact you can use a different tool, the exact same strategy. You go to Vid IQ, you go
[16:04] to the discover keywords because affiliate content is keyword driven. recommended in the YouTube homepage. While that really does help a lot, it is a keyword- driven strategy. So, we go to find keywords and then I put in
[16:18] something like best plus another product category. So, I put in like best protein. go to the matching terms and then we can see all the different video ideas and it gives us a competition score the search volume and the overall
[16:30] quality of this is specific to the channel like is this a good opportunity should I go for it or not so we can see like there's so many different potential video topics too this is all YouTube search volume and I would say like I
[16:44] would start with probably I don't know why whey protein under 2,000 would be a why whey protein under 2,000 would be a search like 220 bucks maybe I don't know you can see or I could do best uh fishing and see matching terms. Best
[16:57] fishing spot, best fishing, what's the highest searched? So, we're going to go by search volume and rank it that way. Best fishing kayak under 700 bucks. Best lure for fishing. So, you can start getting some ideas this way. So, you can
[17:11] kind of see in general. Uh, another one that can do which we'll get into the different types of affiliate content. What about like AI tutorial? This is like look at all these different AI tools with low competition you could
[17:24] talk about on YouTube. Hicksfield AI, Sunno AI, Google AI, Midjourney, AI agents, invido, all kinds of different stuff. So, uh this is another thing you kind of start with the keyword strategy. See, is it competitive? Can I actually
[17:40] rank videos, rank blog posts in it? Can I create 20 plus pieces of content for it? Can I make enough money from it? Is the commission at least $100 every time I make it or at least recurring through software where I can earn it over time?
[17:55] So, these are all factors before you even think about joining affiliate programs is the content strategy comes first. So, if we can develop a plan, then it's like what do we actually do, right? How do we start creating this
[18:07] affiliate marketing has shifted a little bit. It used to be just 100% Google dominated. Just Google was the number one driver. Now there's other things like YouTube is becoming huge for affiliate marketing as is Tik Tok. So
[18:22] Tik Tok shop as well. So blogs are still the hub where we kind of add affiliate links, keep everything together, but YouTube can be a faster starting point for affiliate sales. You publish a video, you can get views faster than
[18:34] publishing a blog post and waiting. So YouTube works in more competitive niches. If you're trying to get into finance, software, um maybe relationships, health, things that are really competitive on Google, you have a
[18:47] much faster chance just doing it on YouTube, making easy videos like this where you're just talking talking about products. Um YouTube, you do have to show the product. So, if you're getting into like
[19:00] then you have to actually show it on YouTube. Whereas with a website and a blog, you just have to have pictures that you take. um or stock photos, right, of the actual product. You don't have to go on a super deep dive. So, an
[19:14] have to go on a super deep dive. So, an article about the best drones can just have a picture and it features, you know, pricing button, text, features, to be a whole different thing where you're actually going to be showing it,
[19:28] showing footage, all of that. So, YouTube can be a little bit more involved if you choose the wrong niche. Niches that are the easiest on YouTube just do a quick tutorial showing it on your computer. Uh credit cards, business
[19:42] stuff like that, which actually can make a lot more money over time. So, if it's a really competitive niche, also think about YouTube. If it's a hobby niche that's easier, blogging can do it. So, but we want to cover basically blogging,
[19:55] YouTube, and what people are doing on social media in general. So, I'll show you first my blog. So, there's two there's different types of affiliate content. So one is the list post to me is the number one driver of affiliate
[20:08] revenue. Best XYZ products, tools, this is the one that drives the most sales in my opinion. Tutorials teaching also can do it. So when you think about a niche like you have to you're basically a teacher. When you're an affiliate
[20:21] you're teaching how to do stuff in the niche and the products you need to do it. You can't golf without golf clubs. You can't fish without fishing gear and a boat. Maybe you can't build a shed without power tools. So you everything
[20:35] that you're teaching and doing requires products. So those are the two types of content you create. How to do the stuff and the products you need to do it. So in a tutorial I'll show you I'll show you these two. So a tutorial on my site
[20:47] and then a list post on my site. So here's one on how to start a blog. So this is how to start a blog easy guide for beginners. So you'll notice um I talk about it's a simple introduction. Who I am, what I've done. and I taught
[21:00] that, obviously you're going to just put in a simple introduction. It gets into the steps. Now, step one of starting a blog is to get it online. So, I have
[21:12] commissions through this for Blue Host. So, best platform to start your blog by Bluehost. They have a fall promotion going on. You can get started for this price. Here's a link. So, when you're doing how-to guides, you can see like
[21:26] it's like once you click this link, I show the exact step by step to sign up. So, the next step is to select the plan. Go here. The next step is to do all of these different things on the checkout page. Check out, you're good to go. Then
[21:39] I get into the actual other parts of the strategy of starting the blog. So, when it's a how-to guide, anything that you're writing is a number of steps. this isn't a list post, how to start a blog is a series of steps. So, 1 2 3 4
[21:54] blog is a series of steps. So, 1 2 3 4 5. Step one, you need the product to get started. That's usually how a how-to affiliate marketing post does. You'll see it too, like if you're doing one like how to build a shed. Number one,
[22:07] gather the essential tools. Here are the exact tools you need. You can't do things usually without products to do them. So, when you're doing a how-to guide, make the affiliate links just a simple part of the tutorial. So it's
[22:21] like once you click this link, you just make it a part of the process that has to be done in order to continue on. Now when it comes to list post, that's something completely different. So this is best CRM software of 2024. This one
[22:34] got ultra competitive. You see, I didn't even update the title, but it's still even update the title, but it's still making some money um for me through CPC affiliate marketing. So kind of like some cost perclick program deals. But
[22:46] you'll see this is a introduction. I have this five column block across the top that has the different ones because a lot of a lot of uh sites do this to get more clicks. So if you can see the brands above the fold when you land on a
[23:00] you're more likely to get affiliate link clicks if they're right away. So what you do is you got to format it the right way. It's a blog post. It's all about the onpage formatting. So you see that the the title includes the target
[23:14] keyword. So this is the target keyword, best CRM software. We add search intent trigger words such as a odd number which actually works better than even numbers. The year and then an outdated year and then this is what I call extra trigger
[23:27] words. So just something extra to get people to click. Um you'll see that the keyword and variations of it are in the introduction a few times and then you get to the first H2 heading. So the title is an H1 heading. There's only one
[23:41] H1 heading. That is the title. H2s then should be what is it in the form of a question answering it in a simple way and then what is the plus the target keyword in the form of a question. This is the secret to ranking on Google and
[23:56] also in LLMs and stuff like that is this H2 is the driver. So this H2 question using the target keyword right here is really important. Then we have a little bit of paragraph text. And then we get into the actual list items answering the
[24:12] main question of what the entire article is about. Number one, Salesforce, this is about. Number one, Salesforce, this is an H3. So H2 is the question with the is an H3. So H2 is the question with the keyword. H3 is the actual list item
[24:24] differentiate. You want to differentiate covering your bases when it comes to affiliate marketing. It's like, all right, if we land on an article about any product category, I want to feel
[24:36] need things that are best for beginners, advanced, intermediate, whatever the category is. You want to kind of cover your bases, assuming that anyone from a your bases, assuming that anyone from a beginner to advanced person, any gender,
[24:49] age, group is reading this article. So, you're kind of broadly making sure that you give the best recommendations for each type of person. So, I'm saying this is best enterprise. I have my own take and block section with a button. I never
[25:03] ignore that. You can just go down to list to this. Um, this is paragraph text with an affiliate link here. And then you have different things. So like for software, there's key features. There's user
[25:15] experience for me. There's pricing, what I like and dislike, and then any updates they had, and a button. Now, the different kind of factors that you might include can be different based on the product. For example, if it's a pair of
[25:27] shoes, it's going to be comfort, you know, price, style, all of those things. know, price, style, all of those things. If it's a boat, it'll be weight, length, how many people can sit in it, right? Uh capacity, all the features. So, the
[25:41] product dictates the features that people are interested in. So, for software, it's that. But you'll see that basically, and this is the uh little thing that was added by another company. You can compare quotes
[25:54] see that then number two in the list, this is an H3 heading, and it just goes down the list, and it's the exact same format. features, user experience, pricing. So, it's more an N3 all the way down. All the way down. There's 17 of
[26:08] them and then I have an FAQ, some other information, information, and all of that. So, it's quite long. like three or five or seven and you just update it over time. I want to quickly
[26:22] show you some ways that affiliate marketing has shifted. So, I was ranking for best online course platforms for basically four years in a row, like the number one result on Google. I don't rank for it anymore on Google. A bunch
[26:34] of software companies and big media sites kind of continued to increase and that's what happened. A lot of really competitive categories, they got way more competitive, which is why I think if you're doing hobby stuff, it's a lot
[26:47] easier in blogging. But anyways, so this one, best online course platforms, you across the top. It just goes right into what are the best. There's no what is it? There's no columns. It just goes right into it. So, this one stopped
[27:00] ranking. But what I did is you might know like, okay, I talk about blogging. I talk about content. I also created my YouTube channel like four years ago. So, I've been doing YouTube and affiliate marketing there for like four years now.
[27:12] So, what we can see is while the site doesn't it doesn't rank as much on Google, it's ranking on YouTube. So, it's been number one for a while. It's I search best online course platforms, here it is right here. So, this one's
[27:26] getting about 150 views a day, just kind of still getting leads and sales and doing all kinds of stuff, making money that way. It was also in the featured AI overview for like two weeks in a row. Just the first Google result AI overview
[27:41] video was right there. So, there's ways where you go different strategies. And in a YouTube video, the strategy is really simple. you just add affiliate links into the description and add an affiliate disclosure. Of course, you
[27:53] affiliate links. Same is true of an article if you see it like it's usually basically, affiliate marketing on YouTube is very simple. You just add it into the description. And you know, if I do something like best mattresses for
[28:11] something best with the product category, you can see. All right, let's sleep doctor. Boom. I'll click this. Are there affiliate links here? Yes. So, he has click the links below for the latest discounts on mattresses for back pain.
[28:26] So, again, if it's multiple things in a list, he has 1 2 3 4 5 6 seven affiliate links in this video. And again, oh, it's very painful to get up like that with your back pain. I'm getting older, you know. I just turned 38, so I I I
[28:40] understand the pain. I'm not there yet, but soon enough I will be there. searching for videos like this, finding this beautiful memory foam and clicking on these links. So people do buy through YouTube. So with that, you create a
[28:54] video, you say, "Make sure to click my special affiliate link. You'll get it's it's all about like the call to action. You get 30% off. Make sure to click below blah blah blah." And you always want to disclose. So you'll see, do they
[29:07] disclose it here? No, they don't disclose their affiliate links. they should, but uh a lot of the times people don't. So anyways, uh that's where affiliate links are. So you can have an entire affiliate YouTube channel with
[29:20] just tons of different best product categories linking underneath here. Another new strategy, too, is just like Instagram and Tik Tok. Tik Tok shops is Tik Tok shop. But I like this guy. He's got 10 million followers on Instagram
[29:33] and he has all kinds of funny videos where he he shows a product and it's it's like if you're doing shorts a lot of what people are doing in short videos Tok, Instagram reels and YouTube shorts because you can use the same video
[29:45] across all three. What they're doing is kind of a wide range of Amazon products covering all kinds of different stuff. So for example, it's almost, you know, getting close to Halloween. So he has a certain video format where he talks
[30:00] quick, he uses it, and then he says if it's good or not, trash or gold. So his gold list is here and then he has a website right here. So you can see he's TikTok. So you can see like how he makes a video. It's pretty funny. He shows a
[30:14] a video. It's pretty funny. He shows a product and then it's amazing product by product and then it's amazing product by the way. He needs it now. Unbox the epic unboxing. Pull up his head where you wind it up. All right.
[30:26] right now. >> And then does he love it or not? The whining the hell off. >> Duped again in debt to $15. what he does there is you add when you're doing it on shorts, you talk
[30:41] about the product. You then in your bio you add your link where everything is. So this isn't like an SEO driven blog or website. This is just a s simple site that people can get to where he's posting all his videos here and he says
[30:54] through affiliate marketing, but he's like selling it on a product page on his own site. But the same concept applies. You on short form video, you're basically recommending a product in a quick short video saying if you like it
[31:08] or not, and then your website is the link in your bio and that's going to all your affiliate links that way. So overall, it's a really simple concept. We just need enough content to create enough clicks to make enough money. So
[31:21] show you some examples of the numbers game and why it's really important when you're getting started to think about this. So, think about an Amazon product like a wireless keyboard under 50 bucks. That's your blog post. Well, that could
[31:34] get 2,000 visitors a month. Let's say 20% of people click through your Typically, if someone lands on a blog post, about 20% of them will click on an affiliate link. Just click a link to get to the product page. Of them, maybe 2%
[31:49] will convert. So in this example, that's eight sales. The average order is $40. Commission R's 4%. You're making a $160 per sale. You're making $12.80 a month.
[32:02] So for 2,000 visitors, you're only making about $12.80 a month. That's Google AdSense level. It doesn't really make sense to do that. So we want not Amazon, not a lowpric product just to
[32:17] get some clicks. That that math doesn't work. What about insane math? So, in the same law, you could have 5,000 visitors a month to something like the best gold IRA companies. So, gold individual retirement accounts, people signing up
[32:29] for huge retirement accounts, 20% clicking through on the affiliate links. Now, the uh actual conversion rate here is going to be closer to 0.1% because somebody and transfer money and, you know, actually buy something a lot
[32:43] higher. But one IRA sign up at 100K. Now all of a sudden you're making an 8% commission on 100 grand, which is pretty high. That's $8,000 just from one sale. that. So you can see this is Augusta Precious Metals Gold IRA company. I've
[32:58] sent them clicks. I've got 230 leads. Of those leads, it turned into 2 million of trades, which I made a $200,000 here. So $5,000 per lead. And this froze cuz I was trying to show you the old data, but it's just freezing. Next,
[33:13] could be something like best webinar platform. So, let's say you get 3,000 visitors a month, 20% click-through rate, 600 clicks, 2% conversion rate to rate, 600 clicks, 2% conversion rate to sale, uh 12 tri uh paid customers a
[33:27] month, $30 a month you make. So, recurring stacks up over time. So, month one, it's only 360, but by month six, you could be at 2,000. By month 12, you the ones that are still making me over $20,000 a month from old blog posts that
[33:43] still aren't even ranking anymore as well. It's just old recurring affiliate commissions. So, people will eventually churn out of that over the course of time. So, I kind of feed it more with YouTube. Other posts keep it going. But
[33:57] recurring is really good because it does stack over of up over time. I would blogging because software is competitive. So, ultimately, affiliate marketing is a numbers game. It's not just posting a few things, hoping and
[34:10] praying that it works. It's creating a consistent content strategy across either a blog, a YouTube channel, or short form video, and monetizing it the programs that make you enough money and getting enough traffic and views on it.
[34:24] would start small. Pick two to three affiliate programs in your niche. Create content around those products. You can use a tool like Thirsty Affiliates to manage your links. It just tracks and organizes everything in one place. Add
[34:37] links naturally in your content. Always not spammy and always disclose that they're affiliate links and there double down on what is working. So that's kind of how I would start it really. It's a big brainstorm. It's coming up with your
[34:50] content plan first, finding the affiliate programs and then feeling, you have any questions on that, if you're stuck on what niche to choose, just kind of guide you on some advice there. Hope this video was useful on affiliate
