Transcripts
the death of affiliate marketing is
approaching I'm sorry to say this but if
you try affiliate marketing with the
traditional methods you're almost
guaranteed to fail but thankfully
there's still hope because over the last
5 years I've made multiple six figures
in affiliate commissions and recently I
sold one of my affiliate businesses for
well over six figures I can tell you
firsthand that things have changed
significantly in this video I'm going to
break down exactly how I did it and what
you need to avoid in order to see
success in this business and at the very
end of this video I'm going to be
sharing with you guys some free
templates and some free sales funnels
that you can use to speed up this entire
process so let's begin by explaining
this traditional method and why you need
to avoid it at all costs so back when I
started affiliate marketing there was
only one strategy that everyone was
teaching and doing online and it goes
something like this head over to
clickbank.com create an account find a
product that's in a good Niche and then
just get your affiliate link and start
sending traffic to it the logic behind
the strategy was that once you get
enough people to click on your link
eventually someone would buy the product
and you would make a commission some way
somehow within the first 3 weeks I was
able to generate over $10,000 selling
ClickBank products but it all came at a
cost a huge cost that almost lost me
everything the refunds came piling in
and the next month I made less than
$11,000 everything just came crashing
down in front of my eyes and the reason
for this is because I didn't build a
real business this entire strategy was
just built around sending people to an
affiliate link and then hoping they
would make a purchase the first time
they saw the product I didn't build any
sort of authority I didn't collect
anyone's emails or even learn any new
skills that could make me more money
this experience was very painful but it
showed me that this method simply wasn't
sustainable but after going through all
these pitfalls and making all the
mistakes I possibly could with this
business I reworked my entire strategy a
few months after that I started a new
affiliate marketing business and within
a 6 to 8 month period I managed to get
this business all the way up to 20 to
30,00 ,000 a month in net profit per
month selling nearly
$500,000 worth of products and recently
I sold this business this changed my
life and this allowed me to reach new
levels of Financial Freedom and I was
able to take care of my family in ways I
could never imagine making $30,000 a
month was always a goal of mine since I
was the age of 18 years old and I did it
without doing the traditional way of
affiliate marketing in fact I would say
that the method I use is the only
logical way that I would recommend you
do affiliate Market marketing now if
you're still with me and you're ready
for me to reveal this inside secret of
how I got away from the traditional
method and created wealth for me and my
family then just please take a second to
just tap that like button down below I
want to bring awareness to as many
people as possible to this new way of
doing affiliate marketing so they don't
waste their precious hours like I did at
the start doing affiliate Market in a
completely wrong way thank you guys all
for that and let's carry on so in stage
number one you just have one goal and
that is to find a profitable product
this process takes a a little bit of
time but it's actually simpler than you
think I know this because I've helped
thousands of people launch their
affiliate marketing business with this
exact strategy you need to First find
the niche that you want to go into and
this needs to fall under the category of
the top three niches which is health
wealth and relationships Additionally
you need to have some level of knowledge
or passion for this industry the reason
for this is simple these are the
essential human needs that people can't
live about so there's always going to be
a demand take the health and insurance
there's always going to be someone out
there looking to get into better shape
or live a healthier lifestyle find a
niche that you want to go into you can
now select a product to promote now as
you may know already there's a number of
different ways to do affiliate marketing
you can do CPA marketing High ticket
affiliate marketing click Bank affiliate
market and you can do Google ads
Facebook ads there's just so many
different tactics and strategies that
you can use for this business what I
want you to do is just ignore every
single one of those for now when you're
starting out the only type of products
you should be focusing on is subscript
ion based product that's it this is a
secret to my success over the years the
reason why this is so important is
because these type of products bring in
monthly recurring cash flow you just
need someone to sign up to a product or
a service one time and the company will
continue paying you out every single
month as long as that customer is still
signed up to the product or service this
is why I was able to build up to a point
where I was making 20 to $30,000 a month
I had cash flow generating assets just
from affiliate marketing promoting re
carum based products that people are
getting real value out of and paying for
every single month some examples of
these reoccuring based products include
Fitness subscriptions website Builders
streaming services e-learning platforms
hosting apps and the list goes on in
simple terms these products and services
just require customers to pay a monthly
fee to use their platforms some good
places to find these subscriptions and
reoccurring based products are Partners
snack.com or you can just head over to
Google and type in recur curring
commission affiliate programs followed
by your Niche so I can't stress this
enough no matter what you hear on the
internet about ClickBank affiliate
marketing High ticket affiliate
marketing when you're starting out you
need to focus on building up an arsenal
of reoccurring sales that's going to pay
you out every single month so that you
have predictable income you don't want
to be that person that goes from making
10K one month then the following month
you're only making $600 if you've been
following me on this channel for some
time do know that I regularly show some
of my reoccurring sales that I get from
from promoting some of these different
softwares apps and other reoccurring
based programs but to succeed with this
method it's crucial that you execute
stage two of this process otherwise
you'll just waste precious time and
you'll burn yourself out trying to do
all of the work yourself my secret to
affiliate marketing has always been
automated system this is an ecosystem
that runs 24 hours 7 days of the week
without me having to be present this is
also known as a sales funnel if you've
never heard of this before this is a
series series of web pages that take
someone from being a lead and then
converts that person into a paying
customer I'm sure if you've been in this
space for a while you've probably heard
the term your one funnel away and this
is entirely true all you need is one
good funnel that converts people into
customers and this could change your
life forever let me show you an example
of a marketing system that I created
that has generated me over
$100,000 in affiliate commission what
you can see on the screen right now is a
visual diagram of this entire system
right so on the left hand inside you
have the traffic it always starts with
the traffic and don't worry I'm going to
show you some more free traffic methods
that you guys can use shortly so what's
happening in here is that the free
traffic is going into an opin page right
so it's going to go from a free traffic
whether it's from you know Instagram
YouTube Tik Tok and all of these people
are going to land on an opting page also
known as a landing page on this page I'm
just simply asking the customers to
enter their email addresses following
this after they enter their email
addresses it's going to take them to the
next stage of the funnel where they're
going to encounter a free video that is
going to provide them of lots of value
and that's one of the main purposes of
this video the second purpose is to
actually sell them on the free trial or
the free subscription that I'm promoting
in this particular funnel this page that
has the value video also has my
affiliate link so that when people watch
the video they're convinced that they
want to you know start the free trial
and they want to move forward with this
offer then below that's going to be my
affiliate link once they click on the
affiliate link they go through to the
offer and make a purchase this is where
the commission is made now the key to
this funnel right here and why I believe
this works so well for me is because I
gave away something for free I gave them
access to a free trial that they can try
out whether that be 3 Days 7 days or 30
days they get access to the entire
product for free and this works very
well online people are constantly being
sold to 24 hours whether that be through
their phone whether they're on YouTube
watching TV outside seeing like
different posters and everything they're
constantly being sold to right so when
you come in the market with something
new and you're giving away get free
trial you instantly stand out and as I
said this is very important if you want
to have success with this you need to
find a product that is either giving
away a free trial or some sort of
freebie that's going to incentivize
people to sign up to the program now
something really important to mention is
that on the first page of this funnel
I've collected these people's emails
because most people when they come
across a product they won't purchase it
on the first goal so by collecting their
emails the system that I've created is
going to automatically follow up with
these customers every single or every
other day convincing them to make a
purchase of the product and these emails
are going to contain affiliate links so
whenever they make a purchase from one
of the emails we still get paid out and
this is really what separates beginner
marketers from expert marketers having
that system that automatically follows
up with people and this is essentially
going to 10x the amount of money you
make with affiliate marketing does this
all make sense to you guys do me a favor
comment down below passive income if
you're on board and this is all making
sense this is really simple stuff right
here but don't worry I'm going to help
you guys out a bit because I know
exactly what it's like to be in your
shoes and I wish I had the expert at the
time when I started that could just
guide me through the entire process
since I've made multiple six figures in
this industry and I've had more people
than ever hit me up in the Instagram DMS
YouTube Tik Tok and in my emails what
I've decided to do since I can't help
each and every one of you guys
individually is I'm going to be giving
away today some free sales funnels some
some free follow-up systems that you
guys can use within your own business to
make money with affiliate marketing all
of these funnels come with
professionally built landing pages that
have been designed by industry expert
that have been working within my team
for years these funnels will all include
automated email follow-up sequences so
that you'll never have to manually
message your customers this system is
going to automatically follow up with
all of your leads and turn them into
paying customers and the best thing
about these funnels is that all of these
can be imported into your software with
just one click of a button so you don't
need to be texted Saia tool to make this
work for you in fact one of my students
Larry who is actually 56 years old
managed to set one of these funnels up
all by himself without needing any extra
assistance and he managed to make his
first $1,000 within the first 2 weeks of
using this exact funnel I'm giving away
to you guys today so I'm pretty
confident that you should be able to do
the same all you have to do to get these
pre-built funnels is sign up for a free
account on block le.com this is a funnel
Builder that I've been using over the
past few years or so to build all of my
funnels and it's literally replaced so
many other softwares and subscriptions
that I used to use to run my online
business it's even replaced some of my
scheduling apps on my social media
specifically Instagram and just to make
it clear I'm not affiliated with this
company whatsoever this is genuinely a
software that I love and I use in my
business every single day you don't even
have to click the link in my description
just head over to the website directly
and get a free account for yourself
anyways make sure you guys take
advantage of those free funnels that
I've created all you need to do is just
sign up for your free account and then
come back to this video click on a
template and it's going to automatically
copy and paste into your dashboard and
you'll be able to add your own affiliate
link change any text any pictures
anything that you want and then you can
use this for your own marketing campaign
in addition for this for you beginners
out there that have never used any sort
of software like this before what I've
done is left some free training videos
in my description that you can use if
you run into any problems or you know
you need any extra help setting this up
I want to put you guys in the position
to have the highest chance of having
success with this so make sure you take
advantage of the free training if you
need it all right so carrying on in
Phase fre once your funnel is all set up
it's now time to start getting traffic
so that you can start building up an
army of recurring based commission so
first things first let's start out with
free traffic if you're starting out on a
very low budget then this is the type of
traffic that I recommend for you and the
good thing about this is that there's an
unlimited amount of traffic out there
you just have to know where to find it
and how to use it to be be successful
I'm going to show you how to tap into
some of this free traffic that's going
to get you sales in your business
without you having to ever show your
face online or without building any sort
of online presence but if you want to
speed up this process and get sales in
the fastest way possible then social
media is the way to go we live in a day
and age where Tik Tok is exploding
Instagram Reales is taken off and even
YouTube shorts these are great ways to
get crazy amounts of traffic to your
affiliate system for 100% free so you
could potentially be creating lots of
short form content jumping on this
Rising Trend and get some viral videos
on your account which you can then take
those viewers on that video and turn
them into paying customers using your
automated system and what you'll do once
you get these views onto your videos and
it doesn't necessarily always have to be
viral for you to make money with this
what you do you get the viewers and
convert them to your Marketing System
and this is easily done by putting the
landing pages on your social media
accounts so once they see the video they
see your link they click on it they
enter their emails automatically they go
directly to your funnel and this is
going to sell them on your affiliate
product without you having to do any
extra work and these commissions are
going to come into your account every
single month on autopilot as long as you
have your Marketing System set up and
you have a good product that you're
promoting however if you don't want to
show your face online then what you
could do is join different Facebook
groups and other communities online and
get people to sign up to the first stage
of your sales funnel now if you're
someone that has a bit of a budget and
you want to see results in the fastest
way possible then what you could do is
just run ads directly to your Marketing
System specifically Google ads or Tik
Tok ads as I believe those are the two
most powerful forms of advertising that
you can do in this economy right now I
actually have a free video that I'm
going to leave in a link in the
description that you can watch and it's
going to take you through the whole
process of creating a profitable Google
ads so make sure you go ahead and check
that out after this video if that's the
route that best suits you so as you guys
can see it's still possible than ever to
build a successful online business but
the traditional way of doing affiliate
marketing is dead and gone the only
people that are going to survive in this
industry especially going into 2024 is
those that are willing to adopt to the
new way of doing affiliate marketing by
using Marketing Systems meanwhile
promoting recurring based products if
you can do that then you would have
created a real asset for yourself that
will pay you for many months and many
years to come thank you all for watching
this video today make sure if you
haven't already take advantage of those
free res resources that I've left down
below as I'm only going to be leaving
them up for a limited time only so take
advantage of them while you can good
