Amazon Associates
is an example of an affiliate program. It's one of the oldest ones in the
world. And if you want to join, it's free. Free to join, all you have to do is
apply. Now when you apply, they're going to ask you for certain information,
and one of them again is having a custom website. Again, if you don't have a
website, you can substitute this with a YouTube channel if you have at least 500
subscribers. So, for the people who don't have 500 subscribers, you have no
choice but to make a website. Luckily, websites only cost as little as three,
four, $5 per month. Like five bucks a month, that's literally like a couple
coffees at Starbucks, or basically getting like a fast food meal. So, it's not
an expensive expense. And it's well worth it if we are creating a business. And
it's kind of brings the question to mind, why not invest in your business?
Create content surrounding
your product.
Here are some examples of content you can create
around your product
-
Blog posts: It's a written post that you can review
the product. you talk about the style, you talk about the comfort, you talk
about the build quality.
-
YouTube video: you can
create a video to review the product and talk about it and post this video on YouTube
so your audience watch and click through the links you added to the video
description.
Now,
what's cool about affiliate marketing and what makes it passive income is you
only need to create this content one time. And that's why I like to call this
online real estate. Because once you make that content one time, it's there to
stay, and you can get customers, you can get clicks on your affiliate links,
you can get sales for years to come after you make that content. I never have
to make this content again, thankfully, right? So, you invest a few hours,
maybe you invest a whole day, into making this video, it's about 12 minutes
long. Maybe you spend four hours to make the video, to film it, to edit it, to
plan it out. Once you work those four hours, you make this content and it's
done, it's a finished package and it's on your website, it's on YouTube, it's
done forever.
Getting traffic
getting
traffic can either be free or it can be paid.
What
is free traffic? Again,
if somebody looks up Beats Solo Three Wireless review and my video pops up,
then that right there is free traffic. It's organic, it's called SEO, search
engine optimization. Now there are certain techniques you can use to rank
higher on Google and on YouTube. And so, the flip side of this is paid. If
instead of having organic traffic, you paid for your traffic using Facebook
ads, Instagram ads, YouTube ads, Google AdWords, this is basically paying to
show up as a search result on Google for the Google AdWords. So it's a way to
leapfrog the whole SEO thing. Because if you're not able to rank for a certain
term, then you can use paid traffic to make up for that. If you don't have an
audience, you can use paid traffic to make up for that. Because you're forcing yourself
basically to be in front of people. And it's not the most ideal versus organic,
but at the same time, you can really get so much more traffic and reach if
you're willing to pay for it.
