[00:30] traffic and 100% free tools. Put your wallets away. Put your cash away. We video. So, to start earning affiliate commissions on ClickBank, the first I'll leave a link in the video description. Now, ClickBank is an

[00:43] industryleading affiliate marketplace. Over $7 billion in affiliate commissions have been paid out on ClickBank. And to join the over 100,000 active ClickBank affiliates to get access to over 1,000 ClickBank offers that we can start

[00:57] click onto where it says affiliates start here and enter in a few simple account. Once you're in, you'll get affiliate marketplace. As mentioned, there are over 1,000 offers that you can

[01:11] choose from by either clicking onto where it says top offers right here. for example, or you can filter down by the different ClickBank niches and categories. Now, for the sake of this video, I'm going to click onto the home

[01:23] see there are 29 different affiliate offers that we can start promoting in this niche by getting their affiliate links. And what I'm going to do in this video is scroll down to this second offer right here. It's called My Shed

[01:37] Plans. It's really high converting as well. And if I click onto where it says view affiliates page, you'll immediately see at the top here that we can earn up to $90 per sale that we can drive via our affiliate link. And the vendor

[01:50] states that there is a 9% conversion rate, which is extremely high. Now, to help us get those conversions, I'm going to show you how we can drive a ton of a buyer intent traffic to our affiliate link using nothing but free tools and

[02:05] free traffic. But before I do that, I want to show you the huge levels of consistent demand for this offer across pretty much any traffic source that you can think of. So, if I click onto where it says view sales page over on

[02:17] customer will get when they purchase this highly popular, high-converting offer, they'll get access to over 12,000 different shed plans, highly popular different shed plans, highly popular among DIY enthusiasts. And before I show

[02:31] you exactly how we can start driving buyer intent traffic to this sales page via our affiliate link, let's first look at some proof across the different traffic sources outlining those huge levels of demand. So traffic source

[02:43] number one is meta or Facebook ads which we're not going to be utilizing in this source. But look at this level of demand. People who are interested in not just home improvement but home improvement as it relates to garden

[02:58] structures or sheds. numbers over around 30 million. That is the audience size. Now, going on to a free traffic source, YouTube, utilizing my YouTube keyword research tool, Vid IQ, which we're not going to be utilizing in this video.

[03:13] Although it is a free traffic source, it does involve some paid tools. But look at this. How to build a shed is being searched for on YouTube over 14,000 times every month. How to build a firewood shed is being searched for over

[03:26] firewood shed is being searched for over 5,300 times. How to build a house shed being searched for over 5,200 times and people are searching for how to build all different types of sheds on YouTube on mass every single month. Exactly the

[03:41] type of buyer intent traffic that would contain large volumes of people who would likely be interested in purchasing an offer just like this, giving them access to over 12,000 different shed plans. Now, although YouTube is a free

[03:56] source of traffic, there can be some cost involved when it comes to creating the videos themselves. So, instead, we're going to be tapping into a traffic source that can convert even higher without any cost whatsoever. And that is

[04:08] without any cost whatsoever. And that is Pinterest with over 630 million monthly active users. I say it all the time, guys. Pinterest is the best free traffic source when it comes to getting affiliate sales. You can convert leads

[04:21] into loyal customers, especially because on Pinterest, it reaches over 40% of US households with an annual income of over $150,000. And consisting among that tier one buyer traffic are people searching for in huge

[04:37] traffic are people searching for in huge volumes things like storage shed DIY building plans, how to build a shed stepby step, how to build a shed cheap stepby step, how to build a shed cheap easy DIY garden shed DIY plans and

[04:51] thousands of other high purchase intent searches directly correlated with this exact affiliate offer. And to start driving that buyer intent traffic to our ClickBank affiliate link, I'm going to show you how we can bulk create an

[05:06] endless amount of Pinterest pins just like this to absolutely [clears throat] maximize the amount of that buyer intent traffic that we can drive. So the very first thing that you want to do is head back over to ClickBank and you want to

[05:18] link right here. Simply type in your once you register. copy over that affiliate link. And to bulk create those pins in literally a matter of minutes, you simply want to first head over to

[05:32] Claude and type in a single prompt, which I've left a link to in the video description. The only thing that you need to change in this prompt is you need to insert your affiliate link or the sales page at this top part right

[05:44] here. Now, this works for any ClickBank offer that you want to start promoting. It is a highly dynamic prompt, but once you've done that, I'll simply hit enter. Claude will then give you the exact data that you need to bulk create those pins.

[05:57] I can simply copy that over and paste it into somewhere like a Google sheet. And you now want to get signed up to Canva, which I'll leave a link to in the video description. And to rapidly bulk create those pins in Canva, if you go to where

[06:10] it says create on the top left hand side, then click onto where it says social media Pinterest and Pinterest pin. You can then click onto where it says apps on the left hand side and type in bulk create in the search bar and hit

[06:23] enter. And you'll see this bulk creation app right here. And you simply want to click onto it where it says bulk create. And all you need to do now is you can either click onto where it says Google Sheets or enter data manually if you

[06:37] pasted in that data somewhere else. But you want to retrieve your data. I'll go back over to my Google sheet. I'll simply copy it. Go back over to Canva. Simply paste it in and you'll see this column on the far right hand side which

[06:51] says image prompt. So don't worry about what it says guys just yet. Just make sure that you click onto the first image prompt and I'll simply copy it. You then prompt and I'll simply copy it. You then want to go over to Google Gemini. Simply

[07:05] paste it in and then simply hit enter. And Gemini will give us an initial image for our first Pinterest pin which looks absolutely incredible. And you may be wondering what's going on in this image. Well, it appears to be a lawn mower

[07:17] inside a shed. And that is because the first Pinterest pin will be for a DIY backyard storage idea for lawnmower owners. Apparently, there is huge demand

[07:29] for those type of DIY sheds. If I go over to Pinterest, as you can see, people are searching for DIY riding mower shed, DIY riding lawnmower shed, and so on. So, what we're going to do with this initial Gemini image is I'm

[07:44] simply going to click onto where it says download full size. And you can generate these images in Gemini using their completely free plan. I can then go back over to Canva and click onto where it says done for our bulk creation data.

[07:59] And what you want to do is just simply drag that image into this blank Pinterest pin canvas. I'll simply expand it. And before we rapidly bulk create our pins, you simply want to start out by creating this first pin. So the very

[08:14] first thing that I will do is I'll click onto where it says text on the left hand side here. I can then click on to add a heading. Drag it to the top of the pin. I'll change the color to white. Change the font style from canvas sands to one

[08:30] of my favorites which is Etna sands serif. And I'll change the font size as well. So, it's around 72. Let's go to around 120. And you'll see there's a bit of space over here. That is the line

[08:44] spacing, which I'll also adjust downwards too. If I click onto advanced settings right here, I can then reduce the line spacing. All right, this is absolutely perfect. So now what I can do is simply move it to the top of the pin.

[09:00] And I recommend giving it an outline. If I click onto where it says effects, I can simply click onto outline, change the outline color to a contrasting black. And what I now need to do, the very last thing before we b create our

[09:13] pins is add a simple call to action at the bottom of our pin. And to very easily do that, I'll simply click onto where it says elements, click onto where it says elements, click onto shapes, and drag in a basic square at

[09:26] the bottom right here. I'll simply expand it across outwards just like that to create a call to action or a button. I'll then change the color of this button by clicking onto this color icon right here. Let's give it maybe a light

[09:40] yellow or a light green. There you go. And what I will now do is give it a simple outline by clicking onto stroke style. Make it a little bit thicker. I'll also change the color of that outline which I've done. I've resized it

[09:54] a little bit. added some placeholder text on top of it. And the first thing I'll now do is to simply click again onto where it says bulk create on the left hand side. I'll first of all select the heading. Then click onto where it

[10:06] says connect data. And you want to select headline. And once you've done says call to action at the bottom right here. Again, go to where it says connect here. Again, go to where it says connect data and replace that with CTA or call

[10:20] it says continue at the bottom here. This is where you can see exactly what your pin header and call to action text will be replaced with for each of those in this case 20 pins that we are bulk creating. So for example, we know pin

[10:35] number one's heading will be mower shed ideas and for the call to action that will be replaced with see more. That will of course link to our affiliate link so we can start driving those sales. Pin number two will be garden

[10:49] shed goals. That will be an image of a garden shed. And at the bottom over here, that will also be a call to action that says explore linking to our affiliate link. So with one click, I can simply go to where it says create 20

[11:03] simply go to where it says create 20 designs. And instantly those designs going to where it says view design right here. And our 20 pins will now be bulk created. As you can see, if I scroll through the different pins at the bottom

[11:17] here, the headline and the call to action will change. Garden shed goals, explore, dream workshop, get ideas, playhouse goals, tap here, and so on. The only thing that requires a little bit of work is going back over to

[11:31] Gemini, first of all, copying over that image prompt that Claude gave us for that bulk creation data, and simply inserting those images on top of each one of those pins. They look more like this. Garden shed goals much more

[11:45] aligned. Dream workshop playhouse goals, coupe goals, bike shed dreams, woodshed ideas, garden office shed goals, and so on. And it's worth noting as well, guys, on. And it's worth noting as well, guys, that in this example, we did create 20

[11:59] there is only one variable in that claude prompt, our affiliate link, but you can also change the number of pins as well. In this example, I've put 20. You can change that to however many pins that you want to bulk create. The more

[12:13] pins that you bulk create that coincide with exactly what people are searching for on Pinterest relating to those different DIY shed ideas, the more affiliate link. So once you're happy with your pins, you can simply download

[12:27] them all as a PNG. I'll click onto where it says download. And to start driving that buyer intent traffic to our affiliate links, you want to make sure business.pinterest.com pinterest.com. And if you click onto where it says

[12:40] create content, how to make pins, you can then click onto where it says create pin right here. And the very first thing that we will do is simply drag in the image for our first pin. As you can see, Moa shed ideas Seymour at the bottom.

[12:55] Looks absolutely incredible. And you'll notice in the data that Claude gave us, we have everything we need for this pin except one thing. So, we have the title and the description right here. If I go back over to that data, there is my pin

[13:10] title. There is my description. I'll simply copy them over. Now, the only crucial thing that we need to add is a link into this destination link right here. So, when they click onto our pin, they're taken over to that sales page

[13:23] via our affiliate link. And you may be thinking, well, that's easy. Let's just copy over our affiliate link and paste it directly into that field. Well, I caution when it comes to affiliate marketing on Pinterest. Although direct

[13:37] affiliate linking is allowed, there have been instances where pins have been taken down where that is the case. So instead, what you want to do is instead you want to link to a high converting bridge page just like this. 12,000

[13:52] designs, build the shed you've been dreaming of with a few dot points right here outlining the key benefits of the affiliate offer. And where it says instant access right here, that is where your customer will click onto before

[14:06] being taken directly to the sales page. Of course, when they make a purchase, we earn an affiliate marketing commission. Now, it's extremely important to note, guys, that when they do land on this sales page, the majority of those

[14:19] customers who do end up making a purchase don't actually make that purchase there and then. Instead, they typically make that purchase on the back of a follow-up email. And you may be thinking, well, why didn't we add an

[14:33] email capture form in that landing page, in that bridge page? Well, here's why. As the customer lands onto this sales page and they go to close the window, maybe they're busy, they're eating dinner, they're doing something else. As

[14:46] they go to close it, the vendor themsself has this exit intent popup where the customer who we know is interested in DIY shed plans will be interested in DIY shed plans will be presented with five free shed plans that

[15:01] they can access simply by entering in their email address right here. Now, when they enter in their email address and click on to where it says, "Yes, send me these plans." What I absolutely love about this particular ClickBank

[15:15] vendor is if I go over to their affiliate page, you will see that it affiliate page, you will see that it says if I scroll down, it will say, "Why should I become your affiliate?" And one of the key reasons being not only is

[15:27] there an constantly increasing conversion rate, currently at 9.2%, but it says here, "Follow-up emails gives you credit. will follow up with your visitor over and over again until the sale is made. You will get all

[15:44] commissions from any follow-up emails. In other words, there is attribution via your ClickBank affiliate ID in any one of those follow-up emails. And believe me guys, rather than us collecting that customer email ourself, adding that

[16:00] friction and trying to create an email sequence, we will be unable to create any type of email sequence that is as high converting as the vendor has already created themselves because they have a ton of experience when it comes

[16:14] to optimizing those conversions. So, the final step is to get a link to that bridge page that we could insert into the destination link field for our Pinterest pin and to very easily create an incredible looking bridge page just

[16:29] like this, linking directly to that sales page via our affiliate link, which is where those email sequence follow-ups happen in the background. Absolutely maximizing every single affiliate conversion that we can generate. You

[16:42] guessed it, guys. We're going to be using Claude. I have a pre-made query ready for you. A prompt in the video description in the same document as the previous prompt that we used to create those pins, those bulk created pins.

[16:55] Now, in this particular prompt, there are only two variables that we need to include. I'll start by noting the second one. The second one is the affiliate link. Easy. We already have that. But the first one is a link to the image

[17:10] that we need to place at the top of this bridge page. Now, in order to generate that image, what you're going to do is simply go over to Gemini again, but this time make a square image. Okay? And what I've done, I've left the image prompt

[17:24] that I used to generate this in that same document down below if you did want to use it as a guide. And once you've got that image, you'll simply download it from Gemini, go over to postim images.org,

[17:37] simply drag it in just like this. And once it's uploaded, you will get a link to that image. Your image will be hosted. So once you've done that, you can then insert that link into your prompt. Simply hit enter. You'll then

[17:51] get a bridge page made for you just like this with the image uploaded, but you may not be able to see it. Don't panic. The image is there. What we're going to do is simply click onto this dropdown right here. Download it as HTML. And the

[18:06] very last step is to go to netafly.com/drop. All tools mentioned in today's video are linked down below. Simply upload that HTML right here. Go to where it says rename and deploy. We'll now have a link

[18:19] for our bridge page that we could insert into our Pinterest pin. If I click onto it, you will see that image is very much there looking absolutely incredible. And guys is to click onto where it says quick setup in Netifly and to change

[18:35] this link into something more credible. So rather than this random code right here, I'll simply call it best DIY shed plans or something like that. Go to where it says update project name. And this link is now looking much better. I

[18:49] can simply copy it over and insert that into our destination link field in Pinterest. Now, very importantly, before you publish your first pin, because we did create this incredible looking image using a Gemini, you do want to toggle

[19:03] this to the right where it says mark as AI modified. This pin includes an AI generated person. And then simply click onto where it says publish to publish the first of the 20 pins that we were so easily able to rapidly bulk create. And

[19:19] one thing I'll mention is for that bulk creation feature in Canva, it is part of Canva Pro. Now, you can get signed up to Canva Pro as part of their 30-day free trial. Now, if you wanted to, you could cancel that free trial right away, and

[19:34] you will retain free access to that trial for the remainder of those 30 days. In this video, guys, sticking to my word, everything we are keeping 100% published, you can do exactly the same for the remainder of those however many

[19:51] pins that you bulk created. And what you may find is that when your leads land onto that sales page for the vendor, because they have this exit intent popup that I showed you earlier, whereby they collect your lead or future customers

[20:06] email address, you may find that it may be even days, sometimes even weeks after they land onto this initial sales page before you see those commissions come in. That is the power of those email follow-ups that the vendor has already

[20:21] in place with our affiliate links in every single one of them, giving us complete attribution. Really cool ClickBank affiliate offer. But it's not just this one, guys. There are a ton of different ClickBank offers, over 1,000,

[20:35] many of which we could also promote using completely free traffic. Here is just one example. This particular offer, it's called Insta Doodle. It pays us an affiliate commission of around $35 for every sale that we can generate. And

[20:49] there is a ton of demand for this offer. And what this is, it basically provides a tool to people who want to start creating those different whiteboard explainer videos that you've probably seen a lot on YouTube. And of course,

[21:03] they have their own affiliate page. If I click onto that affiliate page, again, you'll get a ton of different resources that you can use to help the vendor sell that offer. Obviously, it's in their interest for them to make those sales

[21:18] via us as affiliates. Since they make the majority of that money, we just get commission. They've got things like videos that we can use. If I scroll down, images, pre-written, high converting email swipes. And it's

[21:32] those different affiliate resources to us. We get that affiliate marketing commission. They make that sale. But what you might not also know, guys, is promote an offer, we get that affiliate commission. The vendor gets that sale.

[21:46] ClickBank themselves also get paid a separate commission on top of that. ClickBank, they say it themselves, they make money when we make money, which is why, and it's a bit of an understatement to say, but ClickBank also has their own

[22:01] affiliate resources. It's more of a welcome kit. And if I scroll down, as you can see, guys, in that welcome kit, they have their very own first affiliate sale challenge. They give you access to a bunch of different proven converting

[22:16] page templates and landing pages. But what I like the most is you also get what I like the most is you also get instant access to over 200 hours of affiliate training from the world's best marketers. I'll leave a link in the

[22:28] video description so you can claim your free ClickBank welcome kit. And if you got value from this video, please make sure that you smash that like button, bell notification so you get notified every single time that I release a new

[22:41] online money making video. Catch you in the next one.
