The idea is simple: you recommend products and you get a commission for each sale. You do n't need inventory, much less worry about logistics. You just need to a space where you can connect products with people who are looking for them. Today I'm going to show you how to earn money with MercadoLibre's new affiliate program, which recently opened this opportunity in Mexico and Latin America, where you can earn money for each referral. It's very simple, you recommend the products and if someone buys from your link, you earn a commission of up to 24%. So today I'm going to teach you how to make money step by step with this method. Let's do it. The first step is to go to the MercadoLibre affiliates website and sign up for the program. Here's a that says "Join the program". We selected it and they will ask you for an email or phone number. If you don't have a MercadoLibre account, it's absolutely necessary to monetize with MercadoLibre, but if you already have one, simply log in. your personal information, your official identification, and your tax status certificate. And at the same time they Pago account for you, because MercadoLibre commission payments will go directly into Mercado Pago. And once you have all this, you'll be able to see what you're seeing on the screen, which is practically the homepage where you can see the entire affiliate market that the MercadoLibre platform has. In this case, it's yet because I'm going to do the exercise with you and the whole menu you 're seeing, the products I could start selecting and all of know is that in order to enter the affiliate program you have to have active social networks and no, this does not mean that you have to be a You can have social media accounts, whether on YouTube, or these content creation platforms . Or you can have a blog where you publish things, which is what we're going to see today, in order to reference the products. In other words, you need a place to channel all the traffic. And that's what we're going to do today so you don't have to depend on a social media platform , but rather have your own blog to earn money. And I know, I know what you 're thinking. Right now you're followers on social media and that's why having a blog won't do you any good. But this is completely false. With the strategy and tools we'll other tools, I'm going to teach you how to create a blog that can be easily found using SEO, meaning that people can type things into search engines like Google and find your website very easily. For example, if you're talking about a technology product and you make an interesting comparison, people will click on it because they 're looking for comparisons of maybe the best cell phones, and at the same time you can put the MercadoLibre link and every person who clicks on it and buys generates money for your account. So without further ado, let's get to it. do is create our website. For that, we're going to go to Hostinger. We have already talked about Hostinger in other videos for creating websites, but directly on MercadoLibre affiliates. So, here are several plans. The coupon we have here, Andrés, is already being applied successfully, but the benefits, for example, of the business plan, which is the best-selling one, because you can create websites with WordPress, which is exactly what we're going to use artificial intelligence so you don't have to do everything from scratch; you simply start writing certain things and it will give you the website you want. The create up to 50 websites. So, it's not just about having one website and create several, for example, one about sports, one about technology, and see which one going to discuss today. So, in this case, select the choose plan button. And, example, if you choose it for one month, it costs 200 pesos per month, practically $10, but if you choose it for 48 months, which is a longer term, then it costs 58 pesos per month, which is practically nothing. The interesting thing here is that, obviously, if you do n't like this business model or for any other reason, you have many other things you can do with a website. You can practically learn how to create websites and sell them, just like we a very attractive offer to try, and it's always worth having one of these offers active because it essentially gives you run. So in this case, I'm just continuing with my code, and month one because I like long-term projects, and if it were really just a short-term thing, I would n't get involved. Then I select continue, enter my billing address details, continue, and well, I simply make my payment and that's it, now I can start and these options appear directly. I'm going to create a website or look at a website. In this case, I want to create a new website, I select next and two options appear. Hostinger's website builder, which I already have a video on how to use, which is quite but in this case, today, to do things differently we are going to use WordPress because there are many functions that those who are a little more today we are going to maximize it more. So I select WordPress and then I select next. I enter my details and select the function to create a website with artificial intelligence. I now have two free domains because this free domains, but in this case we can put whatever we want. In this case, I'm going to acquire the domain comparatecnologia.com for free because I want my blog to be about technology. So I'll go to the next one and finish my registration. It asks me now where my target audience is in this case, well, the nearest servers are in the United States, so I'll put that in and select little Hostinger screen pops up saying, "Tell us about your website." So, I fill in the brand, I fill in the website type, and down here I select a description. I made this description where it's basically about where technological products are compared, to complement it with that here. Technological products will be compared. Something very important is that we can find a market niche. It's not just about talking about the things we like, but also about things Switch 1 or the Nintendo Switch 2, which is a trendy term, or the best cell phones of 2025 or 2026 so that we can always have an active market, interested in. I can also improve my and it made a small improvement on what I had already done and I select the create button. And if you've reached this point in the video, comment with the robot emoji. And shows me, which at first looks very good, because it says compare technology, reviews technological products for your purchase decision, which I think fits very well. And there's the bottom it gives me some more information about affiliate marketing. Here's a button that says "create again," and I can refine the prompt again for a better result. So let's do it . existing content will be deleted, so I select continue because I am improving. artificial intelligence that is clearly not perfect, but it makes the wait. And now it gives me a slightly more refined website. I mean, it practically example, in the articles section, it no longer shows how to create affiliate marketing, but rather how to do a technological comparison or some kind of 's obviously an artificial intelligence and it needs polishing, but the hard part is already done; it's practically just changing texts, images, and things to make it look more elegant and professional, but the hard part is over. And with our current website, the next step is to optimize it. And for this can we install the plugins? Very simple, I'm here on the WordPress administration, but sometimes you can also . There are several ways to do it, but the important thing is that it gives you something like what you 're seeing on the screen. And we're going straight to the plugins. Here any plugin to add. Let's look for Elementor. Well, I already installed it, that's why it says active. Elementor allows you to drag and drop everything on your website in a more interactive way, making it much easier to edit in WordPress. Once it's installed, you select activate and then Jost Co, which basically makes it easier to find you on Google and helps you optimize your website with articles and writing style to make it much more recognizable by the platforms. Similarly, you next step is to return to the WordPress settings panel and we're going to connect MercadoLibre with our Hostinger affiliate website. It's very simple, we're just here, we're going to select this options, Amazon and Mercadolibre. In this case we did it with MercadoLibre because with Amazon it's not available to everyone, it's much more demanding and the closed in Mexico. In other countries maybe not, but in Mexico yes. So, we're going to MercadoLibre. I select my country, in this case it's Mexico, and that's it, you connect it and this step is complete. Now, what follows is the most important thing, which is to generate content so that people consume it and we can make the conversion. This isn't as demanding as you might think, artificial intelligence. Now let's go back to the Hostinger settings and go directly to the AI-powered content creator. content you want to create. In this case I can enter an input and the voice type appears . In this case I'm going to put trustworthy, something worth trusting. tried that yet, but let's see how it reacts and how long you want it to be. In we have to describe what our content is about. And here I wrote a description that says, "Make a comparison of the key differences between the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo Switch 2, which is a product that I think is trending right now, it people are currently trying to decide which one to buy. Something very interesting is that you can generate up to 100 entries per day with artificial intelligence. So, it's quite optimal for you to build a lot of content without having to do all the work yourself. Here I'm going to put some keywords; they 're not necessary, but I'm going to put Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as the main ones, and I'm going to add some others like technology, gaming—the more specific, the better, but it's definitely worth including them. Finally, wait for the artificial intelligence to do its work. And it 're seeing on the screen, which generates an image that, I have to say, looks quite good, and it includes a comparison of the key differences between the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo Switch 2. It covers design and ergonomics, performance and functionalities. So, it practically provides the entire article quite well." Functional. I mean, remember this is a medium length. We could have made it we wanted, and it's obviously recommended to modify it ourselves we find, but this is a very good start, especially for the tough task of researching all this. Now I select "edit as draft" and it opens this Hostinger settings tab . Here's everything related to design and ergonomics, performance and hardware, everything in particular. And here at the bottom is Jost SEO, which basically gives me certain things. This is how my result would look, for example, on Google, whether on mobile or desktop. And below, which is the most important thing, it tells me that my title is practically wrong; that is, the whole red bar is there, to optimize it. Here I went directly to the free trial, and for features and improvements," and practically agreeing with Joeo, this is a better title than the one I had. So, I practically improve it. Likewise, worth improving. It's about innovating the features instead of example, it adds certain things like analytics, which I'd say are already premium versions, but it says, "There are no outbound links we'll obviously add the MercadoLibre links. Images—I can add images. It recommendations I can make to make this article even better. In this case, they're informative, but the intention is that based on that, and also on some of the good things we've already done. for example, here in readability, there's also the issue of passive voice, which is that 12% of the sentences contain a passive voice that doesn't give a command. So, it very interesting recommendations that are worth taking a look at to write the artificial intelligence make these the article. Remember that you have These 100 entries, so that's why it's tool. In this case, I'm using it for free, but if you want to pay for it once you see results, it's also worth it. I think I would only buy it when I already see some small results for my blog. I go back to the affiliate marketing tab. And here's a at the beginning of the comparison charts video ? Let's go to the manage section and it says "create your first comparison chart." So, in this of the Nintendo Switch 1 versus the Nintendo Switch 2. And something very comparison chart, I can add Nintendo Switch products, and I search for them, and since we already completed the configuration with since we're talking about the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo Switch 2, I can add both, and I add them here. Now it's very important to add my affiliate link because obviously if you commission. Now The question is, how do I get my affiliate link? Well, it's very simple, you're already here. If you look, I selected this part here to open the Link hyperlink, and here you see the product we're looking at. should now see this affiliate account, which we signed up for at the select "Share," and it will generate it's practically the suggested text, but you just copy the product link, and we'll copy it here. And the same with this one. We go to the "Link" tab, share it, select our link, and paste it here. Now we select "Continue," and any referrals and people who click this will go directly to our affiliate link, where people can buy, and we receive a commission. now the "Rows" tab appears, where you can add what interesting part is that we're going to mix it with the article. So, I find it little about the text, but we can also add titles. With the thumbnail, So, these are the ones I chose. You can also add more if you want, but let's go to the "save changes" section so you can see how it looks. And I already going to link to an article in a moment, but I think something worth mentioning is that this format makes it very interesting. For example, if I'm Bros. game, I might see the different Mario Bros. games that exist with their benefits, pros, and cons, and it makes people more or less interested in a product depending on what they want. This is very common, and perhaps by this point in the probably read articles like this about some cell phone, a video game, whatever. to create these articles, but now you benefit from it. Now we're going to go directly to the posts section. Let's look at my post, which comparison of the differences between the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo Switch 2. And here in this section, I'm going to go directly to this plus sign, and there are several things: a heading paragraph, lists, and product links from Amazon and MercadoLibre. In this case, we're on MercadoLibre. We select it, and there are there's the single-product card. You could have simply put the link for the Nintendo Switch. I mean, it seems a bit simple to me, but you multiple product list—I don't know if you 're talking about the essentials for the Nintendo Switch 2—you can include the Nintendo Switch itself, the cases, the games, the controllers, everything, so it's all in one list, and the actually did. And here, for example, I select "comparison table," it uses the table settings, and it's the table I already created comparing the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo Switch 2. I click "continue," and it loads, and it will look practically like this, with the title, the thumbnail, the price, and the "buy" or "buy" options. Buy. Like I said, you could also see purchase offers, you could give it a just to give you an example of how it's done, and then it becomes a more integrated article that includes the differences, and look, all of this is this is artificial intelligence. I haven't done anything other than tell the artificial intelligence what to do, and if I wanted to highlight manually, it would be even more optimized, but in the end, you'll see practically all the information and the comparison table with the prices, which, well, I find much more attractive because of the price difference, and you end up buying it if you want to, and it's anything else because it practically comes with the comparison, and you just select "buy," and that's how it becomes a sale for us. And now, for example, I select " publish," I see my entry, and this is practically real. It says "comparisons the differences between the Nintendo Switch 1 and the Nintendo to improve, for example, the Nintendo Switch 1 and the 2 shown below, just need to be Elementor is for. This is an image that I think could be smaller or in better resolution; although it looks very good, I think it could be We could add more images, which is what CEO Joe recommended. And the prices, and for example, here in the " buy" section, if you look, it's an active hyperlink so that when someone buys it from us, the sale So it's very interesting because even though this is just a technical exercise that isn't at all specialized, I want it to help you understand how this tool could be useful for you and how you can create more passive way. And here there are people who write multiple blogs, that is, they create many comparisons and become a leading blog. Or trending products. For example, if you were launched in the When the you'd obviously have a lot more views. So it's a matter of experimenting until still in a very beginner's stage; it's not completely finished, but if you look, it's not far off . It's just a matter of images, and starting to add articles so that everything works. And the recommendations we were given, the more effort you put into the articles, the better your product will be and the better results you'll be able to achieve. Something I do cover too many topics in a single blog. That is , for example, if you're going to talk about video games. If you're going to talk about cell phones, then focus solely on cell phones. You can go into sections, for example, Apple stuff, Nintendo stuff, PlayStation stuff, because if you talk about everything related to technology—in this case, it says "compare technology"—I video games, but if I covered too much technology, then I'd have a lower conversion rate, Because you can reach a lot of people of all kinds. And what's really most profitable here is creating niche markets, because remember, if you sell to everyone, you're not really selling to anyone. And that's pretty much all for today. affiliate marketing works, but in a affiliate marketing is a bit more focused on creating videos and stories. And while that's also a reality, and you can make how someone who might not have a social media community can also create a blog. Because I'm telling you firsthand, there are many people doing this. Obviously, it takes a little more effort on the website, but you start with this structure that's practically 60-70% complete, and you just need to add the finishing touches get better results.
