7 Steps to Start Affiliate Marketing for Beginners (No Paid Ads)

[00:01] platforms online. And I'm going to show you the formula for making your first few bucks with affiliate marketing without spending a single dollar on paid ads. A side hustle income, a part-time income, or even a full-time income that

[00:14] allows you to quit your job, travel the world, and live a life of freedom like video, I will not be telling you what affiliates you should promote because I've seen people teach affiliate marketing and recommend what affiliates

[00:28] commission out of it. But if you want to partner with any of these affiliates look them up on Google and check if they have an affiliate program. So, by the end of the video, I'll have shared my entire blueprint on how I obtained

[00:40] treating affiliate marketing like a real business. And if you follow these steps, content funnel system that creates high converting affiliate content and affiliate marketer with an engaged audience and automated content creation

[00:55] let's talk about why you're probably not getting these results from affiliate most people who try business in general do not get results. And one of the biggest reasons is because they don't know how to model success. They've never

[01:09] been around someone who is running a successful business like that. They running a successful business. But it's a completely different thing actually being around somebody, interacting with them live and seeing how they operate.

[01:21] And because of that, I have a free live workshop this Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. Eastern editing process right now, and I just wanted to mention that if you're subscribers, making money, or even picking a niche, etc. I'm hosting a free

[03:37] actually profitable affiliate marketing businesses, I found three factors that basically hold aspiring affiliate marketers back. One is they spend too convert. Two is they end up promoting the wrong products or choosing the wrong

[03:51] consistent. They're not taking enough action or even creating content to the fact that you're watching this video also means you're likely struggling with Constant overthinking, for instance, makes affiliate marketing feel

[04:05] products or platforms to promote on, and creating content and finding your reliable information that actually works seems impossible. Or maybe you're stuck not taking action, wasting time, or waiting on the perfect moment or the

[04:18] along. Well, sorry to break it to you, but miracles like making hundreds or overnight without putting in the work simply don't exist. You just have to get started and put in the reps and make sure to get your content out there. And

[04:32] But what also sucks is that alongside these challenges, many affiliate full truth. For example, you may have heard that paid ads are the only way to money on ads before they understand conversion optimization. Cuz if you

[04:47] competing against a bunch of other people that are really good at marketing and you only get a percentage of the affiliate commission, whereas they might be selling their own products, so their margins are much higher. Now, why is

[04:59] your budget on ads that don't convert will put you out of business before you heard that you need to promote everything to everyone, but then no one has told you that this approach makes it impossible to build trust and authority

[05:12] in any specific niche. And too many affiliate marketers set their businesses up in a way that they will never have a sustainable income when they scale. And paid traffic that can disappear overnight. No, seriously, these

[05:24] platforms change all the time. What worked even 2 or 3 years ago with ads probably won't work 2 to 3 years from reinvent yourself. And yet, these are the same people that are offering you

[05:36] those who make it from those who don't is their approach. Simply put, do they business or a get-richquick scheme? Being unable to take the entrepreneurial approach will result in you burning out and losing money. So, you must build a

[05:51] system that creates organic content and a sustainable income. A system that makes future promotions easier and more profitable. Now, imagine a system that creates organic traffic without paid ads. It handles 95% of content creation

[06:03] in your niche, and it can make you over $10,000 a month in profit, not revenue, life? Well, it certainly did for me. Through years of trial and error, affiliate marketing, and experimenting with different platforms, niches, and

[06:19] products, I built my current affiliate business to over six figures per month. five things. Traffic ain't cash. You need to know not only how to get visitors, but to convert them into buyers. Now, don't get me wrong, traffic

[06:32] don't have traffic, you don't have anyone to sell to, but you need to know affiliate marketing business is just like building any business. You need to learn how to be profitable and maximize conversions even with just a small

[06:44] random traffic is irrelevant. Stop Instead, go for the lowhanging fruit. Searchable content within profitable niches. These are known as buyer intent keywords. Here, the audience is more

[06:57] targeted and ready to purchase. So, you don't need a ton of traffic to make you need to set up a highquality content system that does 95% of the work and creates consistent organic traffic. And finally, having viral content isn't the

[07:12] main focus. The real goal is creating content that gets consistent targeted traffic and converts visitors into buyers. You want each piece of content to behave like a salesperson that goes out, tracks qualified prospects, and

[07:24] years. And what's crazy is before I learned these lessons, I was a pharmacist. that had over $300,000 in student loan debt. And I tried business after business after business and I just couldn't break through. I got a tiny

[07:37] sales here and there, but nothing ever stuck. And one of the biggest reasons is when you start most businesses, you have to wear so many different hats. You have generate leads. Then you have to do the marketing. Then you have to do the

[07:51] sales. Then you have to actually create the product or the service. And then you the customer service and take care of all the back-end stuff. It's just too much for one person to do. But affiliate marketing makes things incredibly

[08:04] simple. All you have to do is get traffic and drive people to a single link. That's it. And that's why I was able to have so much success with can you get traffic, but you actually get paid to get traffic. So, you're

[08:18] literally getting paid to market your own products and services. In fact, I've had months where I've made over $70,000 just from AdSense alone. Imagine getting paid almost seven figures a year to market your own products and services. A

[08:32] to market their own products and services. I get paid to do it. And the easiest products and services to market are affiliate products because they take care of everything else. The only thing you need to do is just generate traffic

[08:45] and drive the traffic to those links and you get paid when they buy. And as soon as I realized this and I just focused on one thing, I got really good at that. able to launch all these other business models. I've been successful in just

[08:58] about all those business models that I failed in before because I got really good at traffic generation and I started making that initial money with affiliate day. And it really didn't take long. I started making a full-time income from

[09:11] AdSense and affiliate marketing within just a few months of my YouTube channel quickly you see results once you're guided by the right system. So, within just a few months, I was making 10K per month, just as much as I was making at

[09:24] then shortly after that, I was making up to 30K per month. And then eventually, I quit my job, was able to scale my channel to 100K per month, and then trust me, I know how tough the affiliate marketing journey is. There are so many

[09:38] obstacles to overcome. What product should I promote? What platform should I When will I make my first commission? opportunity instead. What will my friends and my family think if they see?

[09:50] too had all of these questions and doubts. And I'm certain this is why it initially. Now, mind you, affiliate marketing is not a get-richquick scheme. then they're just wrong. However, with focus and guidance on the right actions,

[10:05] you should see results within months, not years. And it's because I've been without making money. And then I discovered affiliate marketing and I was able to make money from my content. So, the one thing I know that I can 100% do

[10:17] to building a highly profitable affiliate marketing business just like mine. Which brings me to the formula that I mentioned before. The formula is contentfunnel system plus organic traffic strategy equals sustainable

[10:30] affiliate income. Let me break this down. First is the content funnel system where you create different types stages of awareness and buying intent. For instance, you've got top ofunnel

[10:43] this is broad educational content that attracts a lot of viewers. And usually there's quite a bit of entertainment and inspiration or motivation involved as learning and researching. Example for my channel would be the best Google

[10:57] certificate tier list. Now this gets high views but it has relatively low funnel. This is problem focused content for people who know their problem but people are comparing different approaches or categories of solutions.

[11:12] choose your dream career or how to choose your college degree. It gets conversions. Now bottom ofunnel an example of this would be content where comparing options or they need final convincing. So, is the Google cyber

[11:27] security certificate actually worth it? Or maybe one of my interview videos with dream job or make money with YouTube. Now, these get fewer views, but they have much higher conversions. Now, the strategy here is top ofunnel content

[11:40] Bottom ofunnel content converts that audience into buyers. And most people only do one or the other. Smart marketers do both to capture people at it's kind of like a funnel because you're moving people from just browsing

[11:54] bottom. And most affiliate marketers only focus on one or the other. The funnel that captures people at every stage. Now, second is the organic traffic strategy. These are a series of techniques that you use to get

[12:08] consistent targeted traffic without paying for ads. And it's how to optimize So, let's dive into how this actually works. You understand the content funnel. You know about top, middle, and bottom of funnel content. But how do you

[12:20] the system. You need to make videos promoting your affiliate products on YouTube. And you can basically make these almost entirely with AI. Why? Well, there is so much amazing written content out there. But the truth is most

[12:34] people prefer to consume content in audiovisisual format, aka YouTube videos that they can see and listen to. So all you really have to do is find highquality written information and convert it into video format. And AI

[12:48] makes this easier to do than ever. So, let's say you want to make a review and think school is a great online community platform and I have promoted them before you find really good sources of written information. Then you put those sources

[13:03] into AI and you have AI make the outline. Then you personalize that to say, interesting things that you want to add and visuals that you want to include as well as maybe stories from your own life or anecdotes. Next, you

[13:15] you prefer to do that or you have AI write a word for word script. And after your video. Now, you can either do this while showing your face or you can do it actually done this faceless. For instance, my client Whiz of Ecom started

[13:30] it to seven figures a year, and then he to a personal brand channel. You can absolutely start off faceless. The key is to have an AI avatar, right? Have an actual animated avatar. And the reason

[13:43] this is important is because even if you're not showing your face, you want people to see you as another human being because that's going to make them know, going to make it much more likely for them to actually consider making a

[13:55] buying decision based off of your advice. Now, it's going to take you maybe 30 minutes to record one video. And the crazy thing is, I can make a that platform. People click on my link and I make money from the commissions.

[14:08] about school. I didn't even expect to making over $5,000 from it. And the video took almost zero effort for me to views. But over time, more and more people watched it. They trickled in and

[14:23] they ended up trying out school. And you can basically have AI do almost all of instance. But you can still add your own insights and personalize it. And this is what I like to call the hybrid personal brand where you have all the upside of

[14:36] of your time and effort. and you have personal brand where people know, like, and trust you. So, you get all the benefits of AI and all the benefits of having a personal brand with almost none

[14:48] of the downsides. And the best thing is when you make long- form content, you can actually repurpose it and syndicate it out to platforms like Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter, or LinkedIn. And you can do all of this with AI, too. And there

[15:00] are tools like OpusClip. It makes your long form content into short form. So, it's very easy to do this right now. And all you have to do is click a button and That's the beauty of YouTube. You can automate it. You get the benefits of a

[15:12] personal brand with the hybrid approach. And you can combine AI and personal brand and then you can syndicate the content again with AI. So, you barely have to do any work. Now, I've basically given you my system of how I make money

[15:24] real here. Creating content might be difficult. It's going to take you time to get used to this. And you're going to need time to find video ideas, and views, how to get subscribers, and how to build your following. And it's not

[15:37] what I will say. Wouldn't it be nice if there were someone who could help you create YouTube content, someone to help you drive sales to your affiliate marketing business? Well, if that sounds interesting to you, then go ahead and
