0:15 | affiliate marketing Stay With Me from

0:17 | beginning to the end of this video as

0:19 | I’m going to be leaving no stone

0:20 | unturned now if you have seen me for the

0:21 | first time let me chill out and maybe

0:22 | that I’m making money online actually

0:24 | I’m Africa’s number one affiliate

0:25 | marketer I’m gonna be explaining exactly

0:28 | what affiliate marketing is hoping that

0:29 | you can understand these things and at

0:31 | the end of this video I’m going to be

0:32 | showing you other videos I’ve made

0:33 | previously on how you actually make

0:35 | money with affiliate marketing so it’s

0:36 | important for you to smash live button

0:38 | on this video subscribe to my channel

0:39 | most importantly turn on verification

0:40 | button so that when I drop more amazing

0:42 | video just like what you are watching

0:43 | right now YouTube is gonna send you a

0:45 | notification instantly so let’s start by

0:47 | understanding what affiliate marketing

0:48 | is affiliate marketing is a type of

0:51 | online marketing where businesses pay

0:52 | people Affiliates a commission for

0:55 | promoting their products or services to

0:57 | potential customers there are different

1:00 | affiliate marketing platforms available

1:02 | such as ClickBank digital 24 jvzoo

1:05 | Warrior plus you know all those

1:07 | platforms I’ve actually made series of

1:09 | videos on these platforms and I’m gonna

1:11 | be linking all those videos in this

1:13 | description of this video below now

1:14 | these platforms act as a middleman

1:16 | between businesses and Affiliates

1:17 | providing a way for businesses to

1:19 | promote their products to a wider

1:21 | audience and for Affiliates to end a

1:23 | commission for promoting those products

1:25 | so we Affiliates typically promote

1:27 | product through various channels such as

1:29 | blogs social media platforms or email

1:31 | marketing when someone clicks on their

1:33 | unique affiliate link and makes a

1:35 | purchase the affiliate ends a commission

1:38 | for driving that sale affiliate

1:40 | marketing is more or less like a

1:41 | referral program now let me explain what

1:43 | this means imagine you are a fan of a

1:45 | particular restaurant and you recommend

1:47 | it to your friends if they go to have a

1:49 | meal there the restaurant may offer you

1:51 | a discount on your next visit I say

1:54 | thank you for referring new customers

1:55 | this this is very similar to how

1:57 | affiliate marketing works there

1:59 | affiliate most likely you promotes your

2:02 | product or service to your audience and

2:04 | what happens is that once they actually

2:05 | make a purchase I’ll buy something

2:07 | through by clicking on your unique

2:08 | affiliate link you’re going to be

2:10 | getting a commission instantly another

2:12 | way I like to explain affiliate

2:13 | marketing is just like being a

2:15 | salesperson for a company so imagine you

2:18 | work for your company selling the

2:19 | product are you in a commission on every

2:21 | sale you make affiliate marketing is

2:23 | very similar except the affiliate is not

2:25 | an employee of the company in this case

2:27 | as an affiliate you are an independent

2:29 | promoter of this particular product so

2:32 | once a sale is made from your marketing

2:34 | effort this company pays you a

2:36 | commission it’s that simple I sincerely

2:38 | hope that you do understand it now but

2:39 | if you don’t let me know in the comment

2:41 | section I will not mind to actually

2:43 | explain it to you guys so what I’m

2:45 | trying to say is that a lot of persons

2:46 | do mistake affiliate marketing for

2:48 | ClickBank or affiliate marketing

2:50 | networks no these things are not

2:52 | affiliate my affiliate marketing is not

2:53 | ping band it is not jvzoo it is not

2:55 | Warrior plus it is not register 24.

2:58 | these things are affiliate marketing

2:59 | networks which means that a product

3:01 | owner can actually put their products

3:03 | right there and an affiliate will come

3:05 | there and begin to promote this

3:06 | affiliate so these platforms are like

3:08 | middlemen between the vendors and the

3:11 | Affiliates now vendors here means

3:13 | product owner this brings you to

3:14 | something else called independent

3:16 | affiliate programs a very good example

3:18 | is fiverr.com Fiverr is an independent

3:20 | affiliate program what this means I can

3:21 | go to your website set up an account

3:23 | copy your affiliate link and start

3:24 | promoting now they are not affiliated to

3:27 | any affiliate Network and there are lots

3:29 | a lot of platforms like this as a matter

3:31 | of fact there are actually more

3:32 | platforms like this than those ones that

3:34 | are on affiliate networks so how do you

3:37 | get started as an affiliate marketer

3:38 | there are two things that you can do you

3:40 | can either go to one of these affiliate

3:41 | networks ClickBank jbzoo and set up an

3:44 | account to grab your affiliate link and

3:45 | begin to promote that one or you can go

3:48 | to an individual platform that has an

3:49 | affiliate program and raise up for the

3:51 | affiliate program a very good example in

3:53 | gmail.com now gmail.com has an affiliate

3:55 | program right just go to jumia and

3:57 | search for jumia qol or Gmail program

3:59 | we’re going to be seeing the affiliate

4:00 | program set up an account copy your

4:02 | affiliate link and begin to get your

4:04 | friends to actually buy stuff on jumia

4:06 | using your affiliate link I’m going to

4:08 | be getting the commission another

4:09 | interesting independent affiliate

4:10 | program is a website like Puta Rose we

4:12 | have actually made over 15 000 right all

4:15 | you need to do is to recommend build a

4:16 | role to your friends and once they

4:18 | actually make a purchase computer role

4:19 | they are going to be getting the

4:20 | commission another interesting one that

4:22 | I’ve tried personally is a website

4:23 | called wakanow.com now Waka now is a

4:25 | website that you can actually use to

4:28 | book flights Hotel holidays and stuff

4:30 | like that so if you have a friend who

4:32 | wants to book a flight to New York for

4:34 | instance right so what you need to do is

4:36 | to set up an account of account

4:37 | affiliate program copy your link give it

4:39 | to your friend your friend clicks on

4:40 | this unique link go to wakanow.com books

4:43 | a flight wakanow is going to give you a

4:45 | commission for that singular action and

4:47 | that’s how easy it is to start affiliate

4:49 | marketing another good question you

4:51 | might have is how do you promote your

4:53 | affiliate links this is where your

4:54 | creativity and marketing skills come

4:56 | into play you can create the blog post

4:58 | social media post video use other types

5:00 | of content that promotes the products

5:01 | you’ve chosen as a matter of fact I’ve

5:03 | actually made videos previously on how

5:04 | to actually promote your affiliate links
