When to start affiliate marketing
How To Start Affiliate Marketing For Beginners
I'm John Chris Donnie and I make over
half a million dollars a month with
affiliate marketing but I'm going to
show you how to get started if you're a
complete beginner and I'll be going over
on my computer right here a step-by-step
way for you to go from zero to hero a so
if you're looking to start affiliate
marketing and you are a complete
beginner first of all I recommend you do
check out my introduction series to
affiliate marketing but in this video
I'm gonna be showing you exactly how to
get started we're gonna be doing a
couple things here we're going to be one
1st part of affiliate marketing is
joining an affiliate Network and this is
where you find products you can sell or
link to and make Commission's from first
step second step is you want to find a
product a specific product that you can
sell on the internet that you resonate
with and that you can make money with so
that's gonna be our second thing the
third thing that we're going to do is
we're going to actually go out there and
sell it now if you are a serious action
taker
I recommend go through all these steps
in this video and actually you can start
earning your first commissions right now
if you just take these steps so let's
get on my computer and I'll show you
everything step by step so you know what
you're getting into so here I am and if
we Google just affiliate networks for
instance we'll find a bunch of results
we'll find a ton and we'll see if we
just look up the 10 affiliate networks
that aren't Amazon we'll see a ton of
affiliate networks we see Clickbank JV
zoo giddy up share sale efendi how do
you decide what to join now first off to
great affiliate networks to join our
Amazon and my other favorite is
Clickbank so Amazon is very easy to join
and let me show you how to join Amazon's
Affiliate Network now if you're on
Amazon right here as you see I'm on
amazon.com
okay we'll scroll down to the bottom of
the page and what we see is in the
footer it says make money with us okay
right there and you'll see there's a lot
of ways you can make money with amazon
selling private label brands business
etc but what we're interested is become
an affiliate now that's what we're gonna
start with right there so when we click
on this we'll see profit from our
experience earn up to 10% advertising
fees with a trusted ecommerce leader
join now for free okay so very easy to
join and start selling stuff on Amazon
see it says join advertise earn and
basically you'll just want to join and
one of the things it will ask you for is
it will ask you to put in a website now
do you have a Facebook profile my guess
is yes or if you don't you can create a
Facebook profile for free
that's your website ok very easy also
you know I've heard of some people just
putting in random websites that have a
lot of visitors in their niche and I
guess Amazon doesn't check but keep in
mind your YouTube channel you can set up
a YouTube channel for free your Facebook
profile is free and you can set these
things up and use them as your website
ok very easy now Amazon you don't make a
lot of money for purpose as a
demonstration I could you know say I'm
selling this book anithing which is
about 20 dollar book if you aren't 10%
of that what are you making two bucks
you're not going to become a millionaire
selling recommending books to people
unless you're making more than 10% so
the affiliate network that I really like
is called Clickbank and you can see
Clickbank right here there's a lot of
affiliate networks but Clickbank is the
most trustworthy and the oldest
affiliate network around it's been
around for 21 years it's based in Boise
Idaho and this is the network that I
made my first commissions on many people
have made their first Commission's on
and it's also been the
affiliate network that I currently make
most of my money with now if we click
here affiliate marketplace right there
we'll see all of the products that you
can sell on a commission only basis so
let's click this search icon right here
and see how many products we can find
okay now you'll see there's other over
4,500 products in the marketplace let's
zoom in so this gives you a lot of
options of what do you want to sell okay
what do you want to sell to make a lot
of money with O'Kane you'll see they
tell you how much money you'll make if
somebody buys what you're selling as an
affiliate you see $37 if you sell this
$56 if you sell this $41 if you sell
this there's a lot of money to be made
selling these different products now to
find something you resonate with you
kind of want to choose what I recommend
I personally sell business opportunity
type products but what I recommend you
do is let's just get started on Amazon
okay as I said the way you make big
money is with another affiliate network
outside of Amazon but let's just get
started with Amazon for the time being
for demonstration purposes is that okay
is that okay
okay cool sorry I didn't hear you there
for a second so back to Amazon now I'm
gonna go to amazon.com and once again
let's say I want to start off with
advertising this book nfm which is a
book I'm reading right now it's a really
good book and we're gonna search this on
Amazon and look it up so we'll see okay
well it's nine dollars okay nine dollars
right here so I'm gonna click on the
book and what you'll see is when you're
in accepted for an affiliate Network you
see this little bar it says Amazon
Associates site stripe right here this
is where I'll get my affiliate link so
what I'll do is I'll click get link text
right there and you'll see it's
as text link created below now this is
my affiliate link which I will use to
sell this book this is the link people
need to click on this link and buy the
book and I make money ok does that make
sense people click on this link they buy
the book and I make money so we can look
at the full link here I'm not going to
go into the full what the full link is
but this carries basically the link
carries information that tells the way
affiliate marketing works is the link
contains information that tells Amazon
that's the person clicked on my link
versus they searched for it online or
whatnot and that link is in right here
the tag so that this stuff tells them
but we're just gonna grab the short link
copy it now I have my link I joined an
affiliate Network I selected a product
and we're going to move on to posting
about how we can actually you know
getting some people to come to my
website ok so now there are a few ways
to get people to come to your link ok
you will already have access to them now
do you communicate with anybody
digitally my guess is yes you do you
probably use text messages that's a way
you could get your link out to people
you use email that's where you can get
your link out to people you use
Instagram that's the way you can get
your link out to people do you ever post
comments on YouTube that's way you can
get your link out to people Facebook
this is a way you can get your link out
to people all of these methods are ways
you can get your link out to people now
most of the time you're probably having
very like just you know you're talking
about random social male/female social
dynamics in your life that's cool but
we're talking about making money here so
that's what we'll need to be talking to
people about in our emails now let's say
I'm recommending this book the first
place I could start is through email I
want people to click on my link I could
send an email to a couple of my close
friends let's say you know or just
people I know you know I could send one
to you know my friend Carlos
I'm not actually gonna type in my
friends emails here just so you don't
email all my friends but I could type in
my friends and I could you know write
something like book recommendation and I
could say you know I remember you asked
me for a sci-fi book recommendation and
I'm reading a really good one right now
I absolutely love it check it out and I
put my link there see there's my link so
I wrote a little short short personal
email in the way I normally communicate
and then I just put my initials so
that's a way to get your link out to
people you could send an email to people
that whose emails you have and in this
case I'm sending an email to Carlos who
I know is interested in science fiction
books that would be a good way to start
affiliate marketing another way to start
affiliate marketing is I could go on my
Facebook and I have you know a lot of
the people I'm friends with on Facebook
are you know like the future and science
fiction and all this stuff I'm not going
on my Facebook page I'm going on my
personal Facebook because I want to
communicate with people personally do
you buy things from ads probably not do
you ever buy things or see movies listen
to music based on other friends of yours
personal recommendations
my guess is yeah again if we want people
to buy from our link it needs to be
somewhat of a personal recommendation
that's why I'm posting on my personal
profile now if you don't want to sell
anything that's cool okay but again the
other methods of getting your link out
there are are expensive they cost money
so we're doing this for free now if you
are interested in going deeper into
affiliate marketing and paid advertising
and the art of copywriting I suggest I'm
gonna I'm gonna have my my assistant put
up a link to my playlist called the art
of copywriting here which we'll go over
how you can use paid advertising
to actually make money with marketing
okay so here we go create a post I'll
just say really good sci-fi book I'm
reading mind gasm z-- every day so far
check it out Neal Stephenson is a genius
now I'm not spelling correctly because
I'm doing personal communication that's
what sells again if you look if you're
writing something that looks like an ad
nobody's gonna buy ever ever nobody
wants to buy from ads nobody wants to
get raped and that's what buying from an
ad feels like it feels like your wallet
is being raped you want to have you want
to feel like you're in love and a
personal recommendation feels like
you're in love so here it is here's my
post very simple post then I just share
it and that's that's how it works okay
then I'll just post it right here now
that is how to start affiliate marketing
