everyone welcome back to the channel so
in this all-inclusive tutorial we are
going to go step by step showing you
exactly how to get started with
affiliate marketing some different
traffic routes we're gonna talk about
paid traffic versus free traffic but
we're really gonna go in-depth in
affiliate marketing to show you
everything that you need to know when it
comes to making money as an affiliate
marketer now the one thing I hate that I
have to disclaim this but look I'm not
selling any products I'm not trying to
get you to buy my affiliate marketing
course that I'm selling for $1000 I'm
not doing any of that because the truth
is I don't sell any online courses this
is totally free information you can
learn all of this for free on the
internet with YouTube tutorials and a
number of other different resources so
with that said let's get started with
this video if you're new here to the
channel make sure you subscribe for more
videos like this we do our best to bring
out as many marketing videos as possible
but this is a very very fun opportunity
and I'm very excited that you landed on
this video I recommend you take out a
pen take out a piece of paper and let's
jump into this now so first of all
affiliate marketing we're gonna talk
about exactly what it is and some
strategies and some of my best pointers
for how to get a higher conversion rates
and how to just essentially make more
money with this process because in the
past few years my brother Mike and I
have scaled up our affiliate marketing
businesses to generating thousands of
dollars per month and we'll show you
exactly how we do that will actually
take you into some of our accounts I
suppose we could do that in this video
as well but what I love about affiliate
marketing and the reason why I think it
is the best opportunity to get started
with as a business is because it's
totally free to start you don't have to
have money to buy products and then sell
products I see a lot of people who want
to start a business or they want to
started generating money and they think
that they need to have money to make
money
now the truth be told it is easier to
make money when you already have money
but with the affiliate marketing you
really don't have to have anything now
as you can see in this video it's
probably best to start with $100 or $200
just to get the ball rolling a little
bit faster but if you want to you could
no threshold for that so that's one of
the best things about it there's really
no barrier to entry when it comes to
making money as an affiliate marketer so
it's incredibly lean as a start-up and
so with this
almost nothing to lose there's almost no
risk associated with this now maybe
there's some small levels of risk like
time for example putting in your time
but I can promise you this that if you
follow some of these steps in this video
you're going to find is that it's almost
impossible to fail and to not make money
with some of these things that we can be
doing so the first thing that I want to
do is we need to clear up the air a
little bit about affiliate marketing and
kind of look at how it's gone in the
past five 10 15 years it's actually been
around for quite some time it's been
around really since the 90s but in
practice it's almost been around before
the internet I'll give you an example
here so the way that affiliate marketing
will work is essentially what you will
do is you as the affiliate marketer can
choose to promote products for
businesses and every time that somebody
buys a product or you get a lead or a
sale for somebody who bought that
product you will get a commission or a
piece of the pie so think if I'm going
to get you to sign up for a a product
let's say that I'm gonna get you to sign
up for a bank account and we'll actually
talk about one of my youtube channels
which has about 500,000 subscribers and
how I do affiliate marketing on that
through free traffic sources but let's
say that I get somebody to sign up for a
bank account through a link right so as
an affiliate marketer that Bank might
give me $100 or 150 dollars for every
person who clicks on my designated link
because how affiliate marketing works is
you'll get a designated link and every
time somebody clicks on it and then
makes a purchase through that link you
will get money from that so that's what
affiliate marketing works you're going
out and marketing products for
businesses and then they're gonna give
you money for doing that for every time
you're making a sale every time you're
making a commission so what's great
about this is that you can scale it very
rapidly and very quickly I've seen
people and I kid you not I have a lot of
friends who have gone from zero dollars
a month to literally making five figures
monthly 10 15 $20,000 a month with
certain specific niches where we talk
about some of the best niches as well in
this video but this is just a golden
opportunity and I'm genuinely excited
that you landed on this video okay now
one other benefit to affiliate marketing
before we actually get into really the
the depth of it talking about the
different niches to get into the most
profitable ones some different affiliate
programs that you can join the other
great thing about it is that you don't
have to deal with customer service you
don't to deal with
people who bought your product who don't
like it and they want returns when
you're an affiliate marketer you're a
third-party marketer where if if I'm
selling if I'm going to market Nike
shoes for example I can market the shoes
make the sale and get the Commission I
get the money in my pocket and then two
months later if the person doesn't like
the nike shoes and they want to return
them in the Nike that's Nikes problem
that's not my problem as an affiliate
marketer so that's just one other
benefit to this okay so let's talk about
first of all the best niche to be in or
the best category to be in as an
affiliate marketer this is probably the
first thing that you're going to want to
think of when you go through this
journey is what what area am I going to
choose because the truth is you can
actually market products in almost any
industry so regardless of what it is
that you're thinking what type of
industry you're thinking of or selling
products I'm going to tell you this
right now that most things on the
internet most things that you can buy on
the internet most software most most
things that you'll be paying money for
subscriptions even a lot of those have
affiliate programs most companies even
the biggest companies in the world they
have affiliate programs and I'll
actually show you how to access those
later in this video as well so knowing
that most companies have affiliate
programs or that they're willing to make
ones for you I've had companies make
affiliate programs for me simply because
of the traffic that I was driving from
some of my youtube channels but just
know that most companies will have an
affiliate program okay and so let's
actually talk about niches and the best
niches to be in now I'm gonna bring up
one that I'm a little bit biased about
and I'm simply biased about this because
this is one that I actually kind of got
started with with one of my youtube
channels which was a great source for
free traffic now one of those niches was
actually in financials so what I learned
is that in the financial industry so you
can look at my youtube channel right
here let me actually just pull it up for
you
perhaps so I can show you exactly what
I've been doing on this youtube channel
now I have incredibly slow Wi-Fi right
here but I will pull this up and I'll
show you what I was doing on this
channel and I'll show you how much money
some of these videos made in the
financial niche now this doesn't mean
that you have to necessarily be in the
financial niche I actually recommend
that you don't go into it especially now
because it's much more competitive than
once was when I started this YouTube
channel two years ago the Nate O'Brien
YouTube channel which has almost 500,000
subscribers now it's kind of weird it
grows very fast that's something that
you'll notice with with free traffic
will also talk about paid traffic as
well and how to run ads made plenty of
videos on how to run ads if you want to
do that as an affiliate marketer but
just looking at some of the videos here
on this channel a lot of these generally
don't get anywhere between fifty
thousand views and a million views or so
depending on really kind of what the
video is about but let's just take this
video here for example of how I invest
in 2020 and so if we scroll down you'll
notice that there is a link in the
description here right here there's a
couple of links in the description now
each one of these links is going to be
an affiliate link for a financial
product now financial products are
something that pay pretty well so for
example some of these banks like this
link right here if I click on this link
it will take me to CIT Bank you can find
them on commission junction and their
base rate for affiliates as of now as of
sometime in 2020 is $100 per sign up for
a bank account so in this video I'm
talking about investing and then at one
point I'd likely say by the way if you
want to open up a bank account a high
end for savings bank account getting
1.75 percent interest click the link
down below people go they click on this
link and let's just say that out of one
hundred and twenty thousand views that I
got perhaps a thousand clicks onto this
link and then from that from a thousand
clicks let's say that I get a hundred
people being extremely conservative a
hundred people sign up for this bank and
I get a hundred dollar Commission in my
pocket for every person who signs up for
it this is this is common knowledge you
can look at this on CJ com Commission
Junction we'll talk about that later as
well but a hundred dollar Commission in
my pocket times a hundred people who
signed up from it from this video that's
a hundred times 100 is about $10,000 in
my pocket from this video that only got
a hundred and twenty thousand views it's
not some massive david dobrik 10 million
viewed video it's doesn't have that many
views compared to the standard on
YouTube but it stills and has made
thousands of dollars in the process so
each one of these financial products can
make
a bit of money saying for m1 finance
this is a brokerage firm that makes
quite a bit of money but even something
like this VPN right here so at one point
in some of my videos I'll mention I'll
say by the way VPN it'll just be a quick
little ad that I'll do and I'll say it
is an affiliate link
I'd like to disclose that it is an
affiliate link and I'll leave it down
below in the description so then if
people click on this it takes them to
Noor VPN and I will get roughly I think
my Commission has generally been about
45 or 47 dollars per person who's
signing up for Nord VPN and if this page
loads so for example right here you can
look that they clicked on the link for
Nord VPN and they can get it for a
pretty discounted price and you might
see that for example this this plan here
you can sign up for a three-year plan
for 349 a month that's a hundred and
twenty-five dollars billed every three
years there's what a lot of people sign
up for and so I'm getting I don't
remember the exact percentage that I'm
getting for that but usually what I see
them coming in is about $45 or so so I'm
probably getting a 30 or 40 percent as a
commission from Noor VPN and actually a
lot of websites what we can do here if
you're following along you can see that
if you scroll down you'll see affiliate
down here for Nord VPN this is actually
one of my favorite things to promote
which is VPN services because you can
make quite a bit of money with them but
you can become an affiliate and a lot of
companies a lot of websites if you just
scroll to the bottom will have a little
tiny thing and say affiliates or join as
an affiliate and you can go and look
over there affiliate program and so with
Nord VPN for example these are the
Commission's and in the payout models
that you would be expected to get if
you're promoting them and if people are
clicking on your link so you can see
that with the one month off or we can
get a hundred percent of the signup
right so if if somebody gets a one month
subscription to a VPN they paid $20 for
it
you've got $20 in your pocket now you'll
also get renewals for each one of these
so this means that years down the road
and this is actually pretty amazing to
see this happen because I actually have
affiliates that I've gotten people to
sign up for things years ago three years
ago and I have recurring commissions
coming in every single month so long as
that person who signed up for it is
paying for that subscription so these
nuwell fees are really really a game
changer because this can be the most
passive income possible once you get
people to sign up with things and look I
need to make a big disclaimer here that
I think it's important as an affiliate
marketer one of the biggest things that
I really think is essential is to have a
high level of integrity so you know I
think affiliate marketing sometimes gets
a bad rap from people because there's a
lot of people out there who will just go
out there and they'll promote crap the
market crap they're not good products
but they promote them anyway because
they want the money they're greedy
little people I don't know my philosophy
from this and the way there's work for
myself is I only choose to promote
products that I myself use or that I
myself think are very valuable products
so for example I wouldn't work with CIT
bank if I didn't think it was a good
bank
I wouldn't promote them I just wouldn't
but I choose to because I like them as a
bank I like noir VPN as a company so
that's something I think you should just
be very aware of going forward that
don't get sort of short-sighted with the
money especially if you're looking at a
company and thinking about promoting
them and you're thinking well I can make
a lot of money from this company but you
don't really like them you don't like
their morals you don't like the the
software that they have their product
you just don't like it and if something
about it sketches you out or you just
think it's weird or that your followers
or the people that you're marketing to
might not get a lot of value from it
then I personally would advise you to
avoid promoting those products because
the truth is there's so many products
out there that we can promote that it's
it's really easy to pick and choose and
find ones that are truly great for you
for paying you but also for the people
who you're marketing to and that's just
something that I think is really
incredibly important so going back to
niches and talking about the different
types of niches that we can promote
products and yes as you can see finance
it works out very well for me I make
essentially a full-time income off of
this primarily YouTube channel here the
Nate O'Brien YouTube channel a lot of
that comes from affiliates and yes it
does pay well but what I would suggest
you doing is even if you're watching
this video thinking oh wow may start a
financial YouTube channel here or a
financial blog I'm just gonna tell you
now that I think it's best to choose a
topic that you're truly passionate about
and maybe you've heard people say is
before but
it really does hold a high level of
truth to it now I've tried in the past
to start blogs to start Facebook groups
to start YouTube channels to start
Instagram pages that were in topics or
niches and I just didn't really care
about and so if you want to get started
with the affiliate marketing find a
niche that you're passionate about if
you absolutely love music guess what
there are music products that you can
promote you can promote a number of
different streaming services there's a
lot of things that you can promote in
any different industry so don't don't go
for finance honestly I think it's a
little bit flooded right now it
certainly does pay well
but at the end of the day I would focus
on things that you truly are very
passionate about okay
so that's kind of the topic on niches
let's move on here to talk about whether
or not you actually need a website now a
lot of people have asked this question
in the past and I actually get messages
for people all the time on Instagram by
the way if you enjoy this video make
sure you follow me on Instagram I post
all kinds of updates on there and I try
to respond to DM sometimes it can't they
get a little bit overwhelming sometimes
but I get a lot of questions from people
saying I want to do affiliate marketing
where do I get traffic from do I need to
have a website I don't want to make a
youtube channel where do I get this
traffic from so as I stated much earlier
in this video there are two primary
sources for traffic there's free traffic
and there's paid traffic now for the
purpose of this video we're gonna focus
on free traffic and we're focusing on
free traffic because as I stated very
early in this video that there is very
low risk and there's a very little that
can go wrong with free traffic versus
paid traffic for example if you're
running ads on Google or Bing or
Facebook or Instagram we actually do
have videos showing people how to run
ads on Google for example if you want to
go about that route what I would suggest
doing is if you're getting into
affiliate marketing start with the free
traffic route and then eventually you
can start to dip your toes into paid
traffic for affiliate marketing unless
of course you already have a lot of
experience running ads on Google on Bing
on Facebook and you're willing to get
into that right now then you could
certainly go for it but you're gonna
find those obviously slimmer margins
when you're running paid traffic for
example you can actually have your
affiliate link promoted for certain
things like for example
if we type in best Bank right here right
and let's see what comes up for the
advertisements okay now a lot of these
are going to be actual banks but if we
look right here for example products go
banking REITs calm this is actually
almost definitely I've actually never
been on this website before but this is
most definitely an affiliate website see
so they're actually running ads on
Google as an affiliate marketer for
these banks right here every time I
click one of these green buttons boom
they're gonna get probably I'm gonna
guess $100 $200 really depends on the
product but each one of these they're
getting a good chunk of change and
they're doing this as a paid ad now this
looks really really cool because you can
buy traffic and you can make money from
that but as I said earlier I would be
careful with that route there's a lot
slimmer margins there's a lot more room
for error and you're probably gonna want
some deeper pockets because you're gonna
have to have to do a lot of split
testing to see what ads are gonna work
best but once again we have a number of
videos showing people how to run ads if
you're interested in taking that route
maybe a link to some of those videos
down below in the description okay so
what we're focusing on here is free
traffic and people have asked me do I
need to have a website if I want to
become an affiliate marketer now
the short answer is yes the long answer
is not really okay so the short answer
when you aren't actually applying for
affiliate programs which we're gonna get
into in the coming minutes here a lot of
affiliate programs are actually going to
ask you for a link to your website now
this doesn't mean that you have to
necessarily have your own website for
example NATO Brian calm I do actually
own that domain I haven't really fired
it up too much yet but you don't have to
necessarily have your own website but
you're going to want some type of custom
URL or at least some type of page that
you can show to these companies that
you're applying to become part of their
affiliate program so for example what I
do for a lot of the affiliate programs
that I apply for when I put in the
application I will say that my primary
URL is youtube.com slash NATO Brian so
at least it takes them to my homepage on
YouTube and they can see that it is
getting a lot of traffic on that YouTube
channel or for this one here the channel
that you're watching today
media as youtube.com slash sanchow media
if you have an Instagram page it could
be Instagram comm slash your user name
if you have a Facebook group you can
have a custom URL for that as well
so some type of custom URL is generally
helpful to have it's going to get easier
to become approved by affiliate programs
but the biggest thing here is that if
you want to get approved by affiliate
programs you're gonna need a source of
traffic okay so if you're looking for
free traffic there's a couple of options
that are available to you one of them is
blogs blogs are great for generating a
lot of traffic they have extremely high
conversions and look I know it's 2020
but it's still not too late to start a
blog so don't feel like you can't start
one now if anything it's almost the best
time to start a website or a blog now
and trust me I have friends who make a
lot of money from their blog so my
friend Jeff Rose makes about two hundred
and seventy six thousand dollars per
month from his blog I kid you not you
can go and go down that rabbit hole on
your own if you want to but for the
purpose of this video I'm you have to
just believe me on this you can google
this you can do your own research but
I'm telling you that blogs make a lot
more money than what people think I know
personally until just last year I
thought blogs were dead I thought who
the hell reads blogs blogs don't make
any money but the thing is about blogs
is that be links your affiliate link can
be embedded into a blog post and so it
makes it much easier for people to click
on it and much easier and much more
likely for them to actually convert on
those affiliate links of yours and so
that's why the total amount of money
that you're getting from 10,000 blog
visits versus 10,000 youtube visits
you're gonna get a lot more money from
blogs in most cases so I'm actually
gonna show you how to build a website
here in about two minutes but first I
want to show you some other traffic
sources one of them obviously YouTube
it's worked really well for me
personally with my primary youtube
channel with the nato brian channel it's
it's obviously done quite well but a lot
of people don't want to get onto youtube
right they don't want to get in front of
a camera and talk and the only thing
I'll say about that is that first of all
you definitely don't have to there's so
many other routes but I found that it's
actually you get a lot better at
speaking
over a course of time so I was an
absolutely terrible speaker I couldn't
put two sentences together two words
together I was stumbling over my words
I actually took down most of my old
videos when I started about three years
ago on this YouTube channel or on my my
primary youtube channel because they
were absolutely terrible videos I was
like that
I just couldn't talk I couldn't talk and
I wasn't good at it I wasn't natural I'm
naturally an introvert I'm not a people
person but over time I've gotten a
little bit better I like to think that
I'm a little bit better at speaking I
don't script these videos there's no
teleprompter I'm just talking to a
camera here I don't even have any notes
really on this I wrote a couple of
things down but it just becomes much
easier over a period of time so don't be
discouraged if you want to start with
YouTube there's certainly a lot of
traffic in that but some other real gems
for affiliate marketing is actually a
Facebook group Facebook groups are
absolutely killer when it comes to
affiliate marketing if you build a
Facebook group they can grow organically
we've done this in the past but I have
friends who have for example credit card
affiliate groups that are extremely
extremely profitable where they'll have
a a Facebook group that is about credit
cards and then they will put their
credit card affiliate links in the group
which they own so they can pin it to the
top it can pin their posts on the top
they're highly active groups and they
certainly are cash machine so you can
start a Facebook group Instagram pages
I've seen people start Instagram pages
the only problem with Instagram is that
it's harder to do affiliates with
Instagram because you can't just put an
affiliate link in a post but if you have
over 10,000 followers on Instagram you
can have the swipe up feature on your
story so I have that from my personal
Instagram I have a swipe up feature and
that allows me to actually put an
affiliate link in an Instagram post and
I get money for every Instagram swipe up
that I will post to my story on
Instagram so that's certainly about as
well but then there's other some some
really other interesting ones as well
like discord groups or reddit even now
some people just kind of go around and
we call these sort of like little
salesman warriors where they'll go
around and they're like answer of
questions and forums and then put their
affiliate link in there that's just too
time-consuming I don't think it's really
much worth it so if you're going
like Quora and you're putting your
affiliate link when when somebody asked
a question of like what's the best VPN
and you just put your affiliate link
there and try to get them to click on
your link I don't know how much of an
effect that would really have I think
there's better ways to do it than just
kind of going out and responding to
comments pushing your affiliate link and
another one too is email marketing which
is kind of sort of like a secondary to
any other traffic source so it's hard to
just build an email list organically but
for example if you have a youtube
channel or you have a blog or you have
an Instagram or any other thing and you
collect emails and then you can hit
people with emails with affiliate
marketing you can hit them with products
where I will go to my email list of
nearly a hundred thousand now and I'll
send an email every once and again and
I'll say hey this big product blah blah
blah blah blah it's a good product I use
it myself I actually like it
and click the link right here and I'll
get money from all of those emails as
well so there's so many options out
there we actually have a lot of videos
on those topics if you're interested all
right so let's now talk about how you're
actually finding these of failure
programs how do you find products to
actually promote there's a couple ways
to do this as I said there most
companies have affiliate programs and so
one of the ways you can do this is what
I just showed you with Nord VPN is go
down to the bottom of the page and
you'll probably find an affiliate thing
on a website if you don't see it there
you could also just google it that's
usually what I do or what you can do is
you can look at a couple of these
different affiliate programs I would
join these affiliate networks there's
some of the best they're not paying me
to say this they're actually just some
of the best ones that I use myself on
the daily for both of my businesses here
but one one that I want to show you here
first of all we just have to discuss it
because it's one that is sort of this
rite of passage for everybody with
affiliate marketing and that's Amazon
Associates the reason for this is
because you can promote anything on
Amazon and get a commission get a piece
of the pie from anything in everything
that people buy on Amazon so I'll give
you an example here a lot of people ask
about my camera they say mate what
camera do you use and if I leave a link
for it I might as well leave the link
for it down below in this video if you
want to start a youtube channel to start
with the failure marketing if I leave a
link for this camera down below in the
description somebody buys that camera
for eighteen hundred dollars and for two
thousand dollars let's say they buy it
for $2,000 I get a four percent
commission on that cam
and so that is $2,000 times 4% which is
gonna be about $80 in my pocket for
somebody clicking my link in buying the
camera now if we scroll down here we're
on affiliate - programmed amazon.com you
can just google this to find it we can
actually look at their advertising fees
to see how much money you would be
getting for promoting products on Amazon
now the cookie lengths it's it's what we
call cookies or essentially how long
your link is going to be active or
tracked for example if somebody clicks
on my Amazon affiliate link for the
camera down below in the description and
if they buy anything in everything on
Amazon in the next 24 hours whatever
they buy it doesn't matter if they buy
the actual camera that I link to or if
they buy something totally different
I've had people buy all kinds of weird
things with my links but let's say that
they click in my link to buy a camera
with my Amazon link and then they don't
actually buy the camera they say I don't
actually want the camera but the next
morning they wake up it's still within
that 24 hour period of after they
clicked my link and they decide to buy a
couch this has happened to me many times
in past they know they decided to buy a
couch or a sofa on Amazon they pay a
thousand dollars for the couch well if
we look at the chart here Furniture is
an eight percent commission on Amazon so
if they pay a thousand dollars for a
couch I'm gonna get eighty dollars for
