very important to understand what is affiliate marketing now what i like you to think about right now is just real estate agents real estate agents they don’t own their properties what they do is they market the property they show the property features benefits and then they sell the property when they sell the property they get paid a commission and that’s it affiliate marketing is the same thing but it happens online so people look at your product that you are promoting just like the real estate it doesn’t matter if it’s a physical or non-physical they click on it if they buy it you get paid so let’s go-ahead and talk about why is it a good idea why people attracted to it because it’s a low startup cost you don’t need to create a product you don’t have to provide customer support you don’t need a merchant account you can work from home or anywhere in the world you can create a residual income and here number seven is the most important thing eighty-six percent of all millionaires have at least three multiple sources of income before they made their first million and also you can automate the process a hundred percent step number one mentor imagine yourself you drive in your car at night without a headlight and you don’t know what you’re going to hit your mentor is your headlights so it’s very important to have a mentor step number two you gotta pick the right athlete network let’s go ahead and talk about amazon associates let’s go ahead and take a look at it here’s what they say and they say you can earn up to 10 up to 10 that doesn’t mean you’re going to make 10 and here it is earn eight percent on furniture for example earn five percent why in the world you wanna sit there send your wheels trying to sell somebody and most of the stuff what is it a boot a camera how much you gonna be you’re going to be making pennies you don’t want to be making penny if you want to make pennies a penny will always be a penny that’s something i will never do but if you like to do it it’s up to you i do not recommend it at all the other one which is a jvzoo if you’ve never heard about jvzoo we’ll go ahead and talk about it right now most of jvzoo is basically specialized in software some of the software are really good some of the software are not really good what happens is that you will go in that you join for free and then there are a lot of vendors inside and then you can choose the vendor that you want to sell their product they have to approve you some of them it’s easy to get approved some of is a little bit hard but nonetheless, in jvzoo there is an approval process but it’s not that hard number three is ShareASale they sell a lot of things i’m not gonna say that they specialize in one thing or another there are few that actually sell tangible products you can sell clothes instead of you having to open shopify store but i don’t recommend it for beginners now network marketing companies network marketing is not affiliate marketing 40 percent of all the joint ventures that i have done happen with people that they used to do network marketing but then they lost their shirt because the ftc federal trade commission caught up with them and then they closed these companies down let’s talk about commission junction commission junction i would say is one of the best we are part of all of them except amazon but again they do have a lot of companies products that you can sell but you have to get approved by the way i forgot to tell you about amazon.com especially for new affiliates is that you have to have a website they don’t tell you that up front now the last one that we’re gonna talk about is a clickbank a clickbank is a truly a public network it is a very good website there’s a lot of things that you can actually sell from this now on clickbank you can sell your own product and you can also be an affiliate if you’re a beginner obviously you don’t want to sit there and create a product you want to start selling someone else’s product and making a commission when you get in you can pick anything and you can sell it and this is the only one that i actually recommend if you are new they don’t really have approval process and then let’s say you want to sell this product right here some of them what they do is they call it whitelist but this is something very simple clickbank is the only one that i would recommend step number three set up your business right or failed so i’m gonna go ahead and tell you the pillars that you have to have in order for you to succeed what’s good about them is they’re all free to get started so there is no excuse not to have them but it’s up to you whether you want to use them or not i’m going to show you the one that i use and my team use the number one is that you have to have a funnel system funnel takes a visitor step by step through the entire sales process now the one that we use is click funnels now you can use whatever you want to while we use it is very simple they are the pioneer of the funnel selling system let me go ahead and give you some tips in case you want to join them so when you go in here what happens is this is a default and you want to make sure to pay attention this is also you get 14 days free i believe but when you get here you get this make sure you’re not on that because that’s the default you want to click on that because this is 297 dollars you don’t have to get this unless you feel like you really need to and then it’s a very simple process okay the second one that we want to talk about is you must have a website and if you advertise on facebook or google for example more than likely they’re going to go ahead and shut down your account so you must have a website clearly we use Bluehost used to use other websites before it’s a headache you have the basic plus choice plus and then pro you can start with this and you can just select it you click on it you don’t have to worry about creating a domain or anything you just click on this right here saying that you will do it later and what happened is that you will go in here and then they’ll ask you some questions and here for example you can decide of how many months and here’s the things that you do not need you don’t need this one you click it off and then you click this one off just remember to click the stuff that you don’t need let’s go ahead and go to the other pillar autoresponder and this is where the a lot of confusion happen i would say about between 85 to 95 percent and they’re not friendly toward athlete marketers they will close your account right away now we use convertkit because you can use it for multiple websites some autoresponders they charge you per website when you have more than one website for example or one domain they will charge you double a convertkit is affiliate friendly and they are easy to use the best thing to do they’re straightforward and what i would encourage you is to watch the demo now the tracking system a lot of people overlook that if you not can’t track it you can’t scale it and if you can’t scale it you can’t grow you need to track what’s working for you and what’s not working for you the one that we use is click magic it’s easy to use they do have an extensive video training i’m gonna be making more videos about how to improve your financial situation and how to make money
