What is affiliate marketing

and how does it work?

What is the Affiliate marketing and how does it work? There have 2 ways to make money
with affiliate marketing, 7 different affiliate programs you can sign up with. And 8 different
traffic sources. I'll be breaking everything down that you need
to get started and make some serious money with this.

So, first you've got to understand the business model to understand the two ways to make
money.Now, let's start out for instance and saying that there's a customer wants to buy a
watch online. So, the customer goes online and searches for watches and they find a great
watch that they want to buy.The person who owns the watch is called the product owner
because they created the watch. Maybe they are Casio or Sony or whatever. And they have
an affiliate program that let's say John. John Affiliate signed up with. So, in many affiliate
programs, people split the profits 50/50. Okay? So 50% of the money goes here and 50% of
the money goes to the affiliate who markets it.

Now, this affiliate --John (let's call him) Put up an ad on Facebook and said, "Hey I have a
great watch." The customer bought it. Now, in that case, the customer paid $100 and the
product owner makes 50 and the affiliate makes $50 for marketing it.

These are the 3 main components of affiliate marketing. The product owner who has an
affiliate program, the affiliate who's selling it and the customer. And the 2 ways to make
money in the affiliate marketing ecosystem because you can have a product and have other
affiliates promoted or you can be the affiliate and make money marketing products.

So, let's look at 2 examples and then I'm going to get into the seven different affiliate
networks and 8 different traffic sources that you can use to start affiliate marketing. Here I
am on a website called recordingnow.com. This is actually the website of another famous
Affiliate/YouTuber called ODI. So, if we look under here, under his gear reviews, we'll see he
reviews different headphones, okay?

A lot of people before they spending a lot of money on an expensive headphone set, they'll
look at a review of the product. You know to make sure that other people are saying it's cool
and you know it it's it's worthwhile.

Now, as you'll see here, he has his affiliate links right here at the bottom. Do you see that?
He says order the beats solo 3 wireless headphones here for the lowest price available. Do
not pay retail. And he has links from amazon's affiliate program right here. Every person
who buys after clicking on this link, he will end up making about 5% on. So 5% of $300 is
about $15. So, it's pretty good.
Everybody who visits his page. And there could be thousands of people that are searching
to buy these headphones. I think even millions of people by the the Beats by Dre. So, you
could make a lot of money, 15 times a lot of people.

Here's another example of somebody using affiliate links. So, here's a famous YouTuber
called Peter McKinnon. You see he has 3 million subscribers. You may not have heard of
him before. But 3 million other people have. And a lot of people watch his videos.

So now, you'll see right here. He... You know, he has a video that's been viewed a lot of
times. And do you see all of these... He talks about digital photography and video. You,
know making videos. He's very good at it. Now, you'll see right here, he has new Lightroom
presents pack.

His link which goes to his affiliate links. So, he will make money every time somebody buys
that product, okay? And you can see more stuff here. Once again, you know his camera
here, he has Amazon affiliate links to amazon's affiliate program right here. He has a lot of
affiliate links. In fact, that he's using to make money.

Now, Peter McKinnon is a very influential photographer. If you to look at the price of some
of his products that he's selling as an affiliate on his site. Now, he does a very good job of
making people want to get good into video. But keep in mind that 5% number while we look
at how expensive some of these products are
that he gets people to buy. $5,000.
Look at this camera. This camera is $5,000. That's $5,000 right there. That is a lot of
money. And if we do the math right here, let's bring this up right here. We do the math and
$5,499 times 5%. He makes a cool $274 every time somebody buys this camera.

It's the number one affiliate link on his things. This video has been viewed by 1.5 million
aspiring videographers, right? A lot of people who are watching his stuff or you know,
generally speaking they're aspiring to go into like some sort of video based... You know,
photography sort of work.

All he has to do is sell one of those a day. One of those a day. He doesn't even have to send
it out. He doesn't have to call anybody. He doesn't have to support anybody. He just shoots
his videos and he's making some cool money here. And he has a lot more stuff.
As you can see, there's a lot more stuff that goes into it. Look at this, he's favourite lens
ever. How much is this? $1,500. Look at that. That's $1,500. That's a lot of money. And
that's an additional... What is it? Like something like 5% of that is it's like $75. So, there's a
lot of money. He's in a very, very, very valuable niche. So now, a lot of the people that follow
Peter are not just looking. It's a very high-priced. Hobby or job to get into. You know,
photography and videography, you know?

So... He's in a great place to be an affiliate marketer. and he gets to have fun doing it
because he's just talking about the stuff he loves all day. Shooting videos, he's doing cool
stuff. And he's motivating other people to you the same sort of stuff. So, I love that.

Let's check out how else, you know, some good affiliate programs... You heard about
Amazon right here. But let's look at some good affiliate programs other than Amazon that
you can get started with selling products on.

So, first off…I just gotta mention Amazon. Amazon is the biggest affiliate program out
there. It'll pay 5% which is not a lot but it can add up. As you've seen, if you're selling high-
priced goods. And their program is called Amazon Associates.

See join amazon Associates is free, advertise and earn. And you can have Amazon. This is
Amazon pay you money. Just like they pay Peter McKinnon, just like they pay me, just like
they pay ODI productions.

Now, next is the second of program is Walmart. It's called affiliate link program and you can
become in a Walmart affiliate by referring customers to Walmart.com. So, just as you saw.
And we're going to go into the different traffic sources in just a second.
So, you can make money from Walmart. Walmart pays you to send people to their website.
Target will pay you to send people to their website. If you're wondering how you find these
links, you could just search Target affiliate, Walmart affiliate, Amazon affiliate.

Or you can go down to the bottom of the site and you can see right here. You can see in the
footer, see that link affiliates right there. You just click that link and it'll take you to Target
affiliates, okay? Join the day. signing up is free. And as you see, you can earn up to 8% on
products. 8% of anything you sell. People are already shopping at Target, People are
already buying these products. And you can earn up to 8% of everything they buy. That's
pretty good. And not only that but you don't even have to be at the store. You can sell the
people all around the world. So, the Internet is huge. And with the population surpassing 7
billion people on this planet. The opportunity to make money online is beyond your
comprehension. I want to
explain that to you. It's beyond your comprehension. Just a small slice of it.
eBay has an affiliate program.

They call their partner Network, So, sometimes affiliate marketing people think affiliate
marketers are aggressive. Or they you know, marketers is kind of like a same word it's like
sales people. But they make a lot of money for people. So, everybody has an affiliate
program now. And here it says get paid when people buy products. So, you can earn money
when people buy stuff on eBay
Now, this is a bit of a unique affiliate program Roehl.jobs but I want to expose you to some
like really interesting things that are out here. Now roll is a trucking company and check this
out. How does an extra $1,500 sound? So, what this affiliate program is, is this affiliate
program is about referring people to become truck drivers.
Every year, the trucking companies are growing or people are leaving or whatever and they
need more people to become truck drivers every year. There's always truck driving jobs. But
the thing is it's been getting harder and harder and harder for people to find new people to
become truck drivers. Therefore they offer a bounty. If you refer somebody who ends up
becoming a truck driver, you will get $1,500.
$1,500 for just referring somebody online to become a truck driver.

It sounds silly but you can do that real easily. And I'm going to go over some of the traffic
sources in just a second. I'm going to go over 8 traffic sources in just a second here. But
first, I want to get to my last 1 affiliate programs.

Clickbank as an affiliate network. Now, the number one thing that I'm going to expose you
to is…. Now this is the best niche. This is the niche that gives me so excited because the
amount of money available in this niche is literally trillions of dollars more than any other
niche. Now, this niche I'm about to show you make the amount of money I have here seems
small

But in fact, a lot of this came from me being an affiliate in this niche. This is the niche I
started it. And that niche is the investment niche. Now, each year, trillions of dollars are
being transferred back and forth between accounts, retirement providers, different things
every year.

Literally trillions of dollars. More money than people buy on everything on Amazon
combined is being transacted in people's retirement accounts and investment accounts of
savings accounts. The money is going around.

Now, the investment niche... You can't... You can't invest with credit cards. You're in testing
with... It's just cash that's floating up in the banks. And the regal assets affiliate program
allows you to make 3% of transfers that people make from their retirement accounts in 2
different investment vehicles.

So, regal assets, personally, they help people move their money around from into precious
metals, gold, silver, palladium, platinum, solar. You know wind farms, real estate, crypto
currencies. They help people move their money around into alternative assets other than
stocks.

But with this program, you can earn 3%. The average deal is $80,000, okay? $80,000. So on
average, you'll make a $2,500 commission. All you need is one click, one lead one customer
per month.

They do all the sales for you. You just need to get their name, phone number and email
address. If somebody who's interested in doing investing. And you can make $2,500 or
more. I've made over $30,000 in a single commission. Just to give you an idea of what that
is, $30,000 in a single commission is one, two, three.
Just to give you an idea of that. So, regal assets affiliate program. You're getting these
affiliate program links and you're putting them up. Just like Peter McKinnon did or recording
ODI productions did. Where they're putting their links on their YouTube videos or their blog
posts. How can you get people to click on your links, right?

You want to make money. You want to get interested people. How do you market this stuff?
Do you just text it to your friends? Do you just email it to your mom and dad? And say, "Hey
mom dad click on my links." That is one way.

But I'll give you some better ways that you can start earning money as a marketer. But
you've got to put yourself in the salespersons mindset. But this is these are the ways to get
traffic online. And if you stuck around to see these traffic sources, it's easy. It's obvious. It's
not hard, okay? So don't think this is rocket science here. It's very straightforward.

Facebook, Google, YouTube and Instagram. You can post on them for free or you can post
ads on all of these places. On Facebook, you can set up a Facebook group or you can set
up a Facebook page. And you can post your affiliate links for free.

Let's say you want to post about investments, start a Facebook group about alternative
investment strategies. Easy. And then you post your regal assets links in there. Or you can
put up Facebook ads to people who are in a position to invest.

Google is the same thing. You can do blog posts on Google. Google shows those blog
posts for free. Or you can pay Google to show up at the top. So, you have ads or free blog
posts. Either one will get people going to your affiliate links.

Number 3 is YouTube. Now, YouTube is the number one source for education. There's a lot
of education that goes on on YouTube. I believe it's the future of Education which is really
exciting. Now, if you want to promote educational programs such as on how to start an
online business.

Or if you want to promote any training course, you know, from like Kevin David or whatever.
You can promote it through YouTube ads. Or you can put up a video about whatever you're
looking to teach people.

So for instance, you know, truck driving, right? You can put up a video how to be a truck
driver. And link to that referral program sending people to how they can apply to be a truck
driver, does it make sense? Easy

And Instagram. Same thing. You can put a post for free on Instagram or you can put up
posts. You can actually pay to advertise on Instagram. Now, as you see on Instagram, you
can post a link in the description, right?

So, I have a link. If you want to join my course for instance and learn how to start an online
biz. You can join right here and put a link.
If you're an affiliate, you would put your affiliate link there and you just do daily posts on
Instagram talking about whatever. But as long as they're interesting and people want to
share them, that's the most important thing.
