- **Don't link cold traffic straight to a sales page** [07:50] — A viewer who searched for a training tip isn't ready to buy; linking directly to the sales page will cause most to close the window, losing potential conversions.
- **Use ClickBank Accelerator for landing pages** [09:11] — ClickBank's own tool offers pre-built funnel templates; a 'text pre-sale' landing page can be customized in minutes.
- **Generate landing page copy with ChatGPT** [10:03] — Upload a screenshot of the template and the sales-page text; ask for a three-word title, four benefit bullets, a CTA button, and a line under the button.

affiliate marketing strategy that anybody can follow, even as a complete beginner whose goal is to start earning a few thousand every single month in ClickBank affiliate commissions. Step one is to get signed up as a ClickBank
affiliate by going over to clickbank.com, joining over $100,000 active affiliates who are promoting ClickBank products to earn commissions, and over $7 billion in affiliate commissions have already been paid. Now,
in order for us to access a ton of different affiliate products on ClickBank so that we can start earning commissions with this strategy, you affiliate start here. Enter in a few simple details to create your free
ClickBank marketplace, if I click onto where it says all over here, you can choose from a wide selection of these different affiliate product categories to access links for affiliate products that we can start earning commissions
with. Now, for the sake of this video, I'm going to click onto the home and away, you can see some affiliate products within that category that we can start promoting, such as this woodworking product over here that will
pay us on average over $60 every time somebody clicks onto our affiliate link, which we can get by clicking onto where it says get affiliate link and makes a purchase. Now, for the sake of this video with this particular strategy,
what I'm first going to do is sort over here these results by gravity. Now, gravity is an indication of how popular these products are. The most popular product in this particular category is that woodworking affiliate product right
here, but it's not broad enough, right? It's pretty niched down. Not everyone, Probably only a small percentage of people, if any. So, I'm going to scroll down further and I'm actually going to select this one over here. This
particular affiliate product is a dog training course. This is definitely something that has massive broad appeal. The gravity score is also high, meaning a lot of people are actually purchasing this product. And if you look at the
stats for dog ownership in the US alone, almost half of all households own a dog. retrieve the affiliate link for that particular product, which I can do by clicking onto where it says get affiliate link over here, entering in my
when you sign up for your ClickBank account, click on to where it says continue over here, go over to copy, and there is my affiliate link. Whenever anybody clicks onto that link and makes a purchase, I will earn on average over
$42. So, what we now need to do is to identify an audience who are specifically searching online for dog training, dog training tips, and so on. And with a tool that I use to do that, I've been able to identify over 90,000
searches occurring for the keyword phrase dog training every single month. Now, these particular searches are occurring on YouTube. There are other tools where you can find the number of searches occurring for the same keyword
phrases on other platforms as well, such as Google, Pinterest, and so on. But for to be showing you how to do is how to place your affiliate link for that particular dog training product in this example in a very specific way in front
of the thousands of people searching on YouTube for searches related to dog tool that you want to sign up to first, guys, is Vid IQ. And I'll leave a link is the tool that you're looking at right now. It is a YouTube keyword research
tool. Now, when you click onto that link and you do get signed up, if you click onto where it says discover on the left hand side here, you then want to click search bar, you want to start off by typing in a very broad general phrase
related to the affiliate product that you are promoting. In our case, it is this dog training course. So, I'm simply going to type in dog training and again hit enter. And you'll then be taken to the same page as you just saw a few
seconds ago, which indicates that over 90,000 searches are occurring on YouTube every single month for the phrase dog training. Now, what we need to do is to place our affiliate link in front of as many of those 90,000 searches as
possible because we know people who are specifically searching for phrases related to dog training. A percentage of them would be interested in purchasing a dog training course. However, you don't simply want to upload a YouTube video
with the title dog training. That's because there is simply too much competition. The keyword phrase is too broad. As you can see here, guys, the competition level is ranked as medium. There are already too many YouTube
videos on YouTube already uploaded covering this very broad general phrase indicated by the keywords in their title, which means that if we uploaded a video with that in our title, it will get barely if any views. Now, in order
to actually create a video that does get views so we can start driving traffic to our affiliate link, what you want to do is you want to click on to where it says matching terms over here. And here you will see a ton of related matching terms
that include the keyword phrases dog training in them at a variety of different competition levels. Now, we want to only target low or very low competition keyword phrases because if we include those keywords in our title,
our YouTube video can rank near the top of the YouTube search results, which is how we actually get views and how we actually start driving traffic to our commissions. So, what you want to do where it says competition over here, you
simply want to sort this column. As you can see as I hover over it, guys, lower is better. how much competition is currently on YouTube. So, let's sort from low to high. If I scroll down, guys, here we can see a ton of these
different keyword phrases marked as either very low or low. So, here are some keywords that we can include within our YouTube video title to start getting some views. Dog training basics getting over 3,200 searches on YouTube every
month with a competition level of low. This is perfect. And I've also identified this keyword search term as well. How to train your puppy not to bite. Being searched for over 1,200 times also with a competition level of
low. So, what I'm going to do to maximize the amount of views that our YouTube video can get from YouTube search is I'm actually going to merge those two titles together. And I've come up with a title dog training basics, how
briefly highlight the importance of this by taking you into one of my analytics dashboards for a video that I uploaded over a year ago that's amassed over 90,000 views. And by incorporating the right keywords into my YouTube video
title, I was able to optimize for YouTube search where almost 40% of my viewers came directly from YouTube search. And this is particularly marketing because you're able to optimize for YouTube search by placing
your affiliate link which is going to be placed in the description of your video for specific YouTube searches that we know are specifically related in this case dog training basics to the affiliate product that we are promoting
which is a dog training course. So, now that we have our fully optimized YouTube keywords so we can start getting those views coming in from YouTube search, before I show you exactly how to create our YouTube video so we can actually
link and earning those affiliate commissions, what you don't want to do, and this is very important to note, is you don't simply want to paste in the raw ClickBank affiliate link into your YouTube video description. The reason
for that is if people click onto that link, of course, they will be taken over directly to the sales page. Now, these sales pages can be slightly informationheavy, which is what you want in a sales page, but you don't simply
want to direct the viewer of your YouTube video directly over to your sales page. They're not yet ready to think about purchasing a dog training course. In this example, your viewer who literally searched on YouTube, if you
recall, for keyword phrases such as dog training basics or how to get your puppy not to bite, are not yet warmed up to the idea of purchasing a dog training course. The majority of them will proceed to close the window and there
goes a lead that you could have converted into a paying customer by simply linking them to a landing page just like this which outlines very concisely a few key selling points of the affiliate product that we are
promoting. In our case, it is that dog training course. And after reading those key selling points, your lead will then be warmed up to the idea of purchasing a percentage of them will then click onto
the call to action on that landing page, then taking them over to the sales page where they are now a warm lead. And a percentage of those warm leads will then read the sales page and some of them will then purchase the product, thereby
earning us an affiliate marketing commission. Now, in order to very easily and very quickly create a landing page just like that, we're going to be using a tool that ClickBank have actually created themselves. It's an incredible
tool called ClickBank Accelerator and I'll leave a link in the description of link and you do get signed up to ClickBank Accelerator, as you can see on the right hand side here, there are a ton of these different funnel or landing
page templates which we can very easily click onto and edit. Now, for the sake of promoting this affiliate product, I'm going to click onto this landing page over here where it says text pre-sale. I'll then click on to edit page. And to
very easily create your landing page, there is a shortcut that I like to use and it goes like this. First of all, I will take a screenshot of this landing page. I'll then go over to ChatgPT and I'll simply upload that screenshot and I
will then simply say, "Give me the following for my landing page template, a three-word title, four benefit bullet points, a button call to action, enticing line under the button, and use the information provided as reference."
And the information that I want to give chat GPT to populate my landing page with is the information that we can retrieve directly from the sales page for the affiliate product that we are promoting. And I will highlight
everything on the sales page, rightclick, click onto where it says copy, go back over to chat GPT, paste in, and simply hit enter. And chat GPT has given us all of the elements which we can simply copy over and plug
start with the information they gave us for this title over here, which is smarter, calmer, obedient. I'll simply copy it over, go back over to our landing page. I'll highlight this placeholder title, and I'll simply paste
it in, which I've done. And I'll also fill out the rest of our landing page with exactly what ChatGpt has given us. And to replace this placeholder text for our call to action and to insert the affiliate link onto your call to action
button, I'll simply highlight over this element, click onto this settings icon button settings. I'll replace call to action with start training now. And where it says navigate to URL, I'm going to go back over to our ClickBank
affiliate product. Copy over the affiliate link. Simply paste it in to this field over here. Scroll down. Hit save. And for our landing page image, I'll simply click onto this over here. Go to this icon where it says replace.
Click onto this magnifying glass and you will get access to a huge selection of these copyright free images. So in this example, because we are promoting a dog training course, I'm going to search for something super broad such as dog
training and hit search. And you just want to have a browse through of the from. Now, for the sake of this video, I'm going to select this one over here. your YouTube video description, which is
generating those affiliate commissions. Now, before we get a link to this landing page, you first want to click onto where it says page info on the left hand side here. And under where it says SEO, where it has this page URL, you
just want to replace it with something related to the landing page. I'm going to say something like dog training tips. I'll then click onto where it says save over here. And to get the link to this landing page, I'm going to click onto
this icon over here. I'm simply going to paste it into my Google Docs document underneath our fully optimized YouTube video title. And I'm now going to show you how to create a YouTube video that could actually get views to start
driving traffic to your landing page to absolutely maximize the amount of those affiliate commissions that you can generate. Now, the tool that we're going to be using to create an incredibly high quality video around this exact topic is
Flicky, and I'll leave a link in the description of this video. Once you click onto that link, you simply want to click on to say start for free. Enter in a few simple details to create your free Flickie account. Now, once you are
Flickie, the first thing you'll see is this dashboard over here. And we're by clicking on to where it says idea prompt over here. And I'll start off by saying create a video showcasing. And I'll simply paste in our title over
here, which is dog training basics, how to get your puppy not to bite. And I'll then just say with a few examples of dog training tips. Now, by default, the duration of your video will be marked as 30 seconds. You want to make it around 5
onto where it says next over here. And I'm going to select one of these templates. Let's go with this one over here for example. I'll then hit next. And I'll start off by specifying the tone of our video as informative and
friendly. The purpose of this video is it's going to be a training guide and educational content. The audience I'm going to select absolutely all of these new owners, puppy owners, dog lovers, firsttime owners as well. Now I'm then
going to click onto where it says next. And the AI tool is going to give us a script which we simply want to make a few edits to. So I'll hit next over entire YouTube video script which you can very easily edit, which I strongly
recommend that you do to make your video more authentic. That could simply be going over to articles just like this on the same topic of our video. For biting, reading some of that information, inserting it into your
script into your own words to further refine your script just to make it more authentic. Now, this is especially important when it comes to those of you who also want to monetize your channel on YouTube to also earn YouTube ad
revenue in addition to those affiliate commissions. Because while YouTube does state that channels that use AI in their content absolutely remain eligible for monetization, what YouTube doesn't like is inauthentic content that is, you
know, mass-produced, repetitious, loweffort, and spammy that provides no value. So, I strongly recommend editing your script by also placing a strong call to action at the bottom of your script, directing your viewer directly
to your landing page, which is how you can maximize those affiliate conversions even further. I've simply said, and if you want to fasttrack your dog training process to create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams, and I

over for your video. Now these voiceovers are extremely humanlike. They sound extremely realistic. But to make your video even more authentic, what you want to do is upload a copy of your voice, which you can then clone to use
in any one of your videos. And to do that, guys, on the Flicky homepage, if you go over to where it says voices, click onto where it says clone, you can simply click onto where it says clone voice, upload a 30- secondond recording
of your own voice, which you can then use for any one of your videos. Once you have uploaded that clone voice, you will see an option to use it under my voices go over to where it says select, and
submit. and your video will then be created for you, which takes only around a minute or so. So, our video is now ready. Let's give it a play to see how parents. Welcome to the wonderful, sometimes wild world of puppyhood. One

video footage that is being displayed for each one of your scenes. And if you did want to replace any of that copyright free stock video footage, I can simply click onto any one of these icons over here. Let's say for scene 12,
I can click onto video or image. Simply type something in such as dog training, hit enter, and select from the huge selection of copyright free video stock footage to replace it with. I'm happy with it as is. And to actually upload
this to YouTube to start getting those views, to start driving that traffic to to click onto where it says download over here. And I'm then going to click onto where it says start export. And once your video is exported, we're
YouTube by first clicking onto where it says download MP4. So once your video is downloaded, before we actually upload it over to YouTube, you first want to create a YouTube video thumbnail to increase the amount of clicks that your

the features. Again guys, you can literally create an unlimited amount of those landing pages, and you also get access to a website and blog builder with hosting included. Not only that, we didn't have time to cover it in today's
