Join the hustlers club. I’ll send an email every time I find a legit way to make money …
- 0:00 | I’m just going to come out and preface
- 0:01 | this video by saying that I make more
- 0:03 | than half of my income from affiliate
- 0:05 | marketing and so I don’t hate affiliate
- 0:07 | marketing I actually love affiliate
- 0:08 | marketing and in fact if you scroll back
- 0:10 | and look on this channel I’ve put out
- 0:11 | probably over a hundred videos on
- 0:13 | affiliate marketing and how to do it
- 0:15 | over the last six or 7 years but in this
- 0:17 | video I want to focus on the current
- 0:18 | state of affiliate marketing and
- 0:19 | particularly I want to focus on the way
- 0:22 | it’s being marketed to new affiliate
- 0:24 | marketers and people that are just
- 0:25 | getting started I want you to be able to
- 0:27 | come into this with your eyes wide open
- 0:29 | understanding what’s real about it and
- 0:31 | understanding why someone is talking to
- 0:33 | you about it in the way that they are
- 0:34 | because I can almost guarantee if you’re
- 0:35 | new to affiliate marketing that about
- 0:37 | 95% of you in today’s video in this
- 0:40 | video in this video affiliate marketing
- 0:42 | affiliate marketing an affiliate
- 0:43 | marketing business are being approached
- 0:45 | exactly the way that I’m going to show
- 0:46 | you in this video so let’s back up real
- 0:48 | quick even if you’re a veteran affiliate
- 0:49 | marketer there’s probably some stuff you
- 0:51 | don’t know about the affiliate marketing
- 0:52 | industry let’s go back to the beginning
- 0:53 | when someone named William Tobin opened
- 0:55 | an online flower shop in 1989 which
- 0:58 | incidentally is the year that I was born
- 0:59 | so that feels like a long time ago if
- 1:01 | I’m being fully honest I don’t think I
- 1:03 | realize the internet really existed back
- 1:06 | then but William Tobin did and he
- 1:07 | created an online flower shop now soon
- 1:09 | after that he was actually the first
- 1:11 | person to figure out the idea of online
- 1:13 | affiliate marketing now most people
- 1:14 | don’t know about him because in 1996
- 1:17 | Amazon launched their affiliate program
- 1:19 | and that’s when things really exploded
- 1:21 | for the industry of affiliate marketing
- 1:22 | so at this point anyone can go to the
- 1:24 | Amazon page anyone can sign up as an
- 1:25 | affiliate and anyone can start posting
- 1:27 | their links out there on a really wild
- 1:29 | west of an Internet and start making
- 1:30 | money and getting paid and if you look
- 1:32 | at this this is what affiliate marketing
- 1:34 | was and how it was initially Done Right
- 1:35 | we’ve got all these businesses they need
- 1:37 | leads they need customers to come to
- 1:39 | their site that are interested in their
- 1:40 | products and so they get these
- 1:41 | Affiliates to go out and do it and it
- 1:42 | was a beautiful system for everybody
- 1:44 | because the company wouldn’t actually
- 1:46 | pay the Affiliates unless someone
- 1:47 | clicked their link and purchased a
- 1:48 | little bit of a risk for affiliate in
- 1:49 | terms of time but really not a major
- 1:51 | risk financially and then of course the
- 1:53 | customer is able to find a product that
- 1:54 | helps them it was a win-win situation
- 1:56 | all across the board now I want to kind
- 1:57 | of fast forward now I want to fast
- 1:59 | forward here 2014 so we’re almost 20
- 2:01 | years later a lot of things have changed
- 2:03 | right social media has launched the
- 2:04 | internet is actually being used by a lot
- 2:06 | of people now it doesn’t make a weird
- 2:07 | sounds and plug into a wall when you
- 2:09 | want to use
- 2:11 | it and someone starts a company called
- 2:14 | my online business education now I want
- 2:16 | you to leave a comment if you’ve heard
- 2:17 | of that at this point so if you’re a
- 2:19 | watcher and a veteran affiliate who
- 2:20 | knows what that is also known as mob M
- 2:23 | let me know in the comments down below
- 2:24 | what this was supposed to be is an
- 2:25 | information company specifically that
- 2:27 | taught you how to start an online
- 2:28 | business and make money now the way that
- 2:29 | would do this is you come in they’ve got
- 2:31 | some really low offers you come in and
- 2:32 | you sign up for these lowball offers and
- 2:34 | then they start hitting you with really
- 2:35 | high offers after that we’re talking
- 2:37 | tens of thousands of dollars these
- 2:39 | really expensive coaching and
- 2:40 | educational packages that you could get
- 2:41 | into now here’s where things started to
- 2:43 | get sticky you would purchase this mob
- 2:45 | informational product right and then
- 2:46 | maybe some of these these Down the Line
- 2:48 | Products as well that are more expensive
- 2:50 | all it does is kind of teach you to be
- 2:51 | an affiliate marketer and promote that
- 2:53 | exact course and you start to see this
- 2:55 | circle of life thing going on here right
- 2:57 | where people are not actually being
- 2:59 | taught very much the only people
- 3:00 | actually making money are the people
- 3:01 | that bring more people in and there’s a
- 3:03 | word for this that I’m not going to say
- 3:05 | but I think most of us are fairly aware
- 3:07 | of what it
- 3:08 | [Music]
- 3:10 | [Applause]
- 3:11 | is now of course mob is making money
- 3:14 | every time this is happening right so
- 3:16 | the people at the very top are raking it
- 3:17 | in here the people that started this
- 3:19 | product making a ton of money off this
- 3:20 | affiliate program and a lot of people
- 3:21 | that are promoting it are making crazy
- 3:23 | amounts of money too so the issue here
- 3:24 | is there’s no real core product the core
- 3:26 | product is just teaching you how to sell
- 3:28 | their product which is just teaching you
- 3:30 | how to sell their product which is just
- 3:31 | a product teaching you how to sell their
- 3:33 | product and you start to see the circle
- 3:34 | that we get stuck in here now news flash
- 3:36 | if you’re new to all this mob was shut
- 3:38 | down in 2020 the FTC shut them down and
- 3:40 | they actually took down a lot of the top
- 3:41 | Affiliates and the people that started
- 3:43 | the company and there were a lot of Mega
- 3:44 | big fines and MOB is no longer in
- 3:47 | existence but I want to give you a news
- 3:48 | flash if you’re new to this this is
- 3:49 | about 90% of what’s happening right now
- 3:51 | in the affiliate marketing industry and
- 3:52 | I want you to pay attention to how we
- 3:54 | explain this and see if this is exactly
- 3:56 | how you found out about affiliate
- 3:57 | marketing what we’ve got is maybe five
- 3:58 | to seven different companies that are
- 4:00 | large companies that teach you how to
- 4:01 | start an online business also known as
- 4:04 | affiliate marketing they teach you how
- 4:05 | to create these little short videos that
- 4:07 | make really bogus money claims something
- 4:10 | like this I’m going to show you how to
- 4:11 | make $5 million in the next 14 days just
- 4:14 | by blowing your nose then you tell them
- 4:16 | to pay really close attention and you go
- 4:18 | through a few random steps something
- 4:19 | totally nonsensical that would never
- 4:21 | really make anyone anywhere near that
- 4:23 | much money in that time frame now you
- 4:24 | end with a great bait and switch right
- 4:26 | you’ve got their attention they watched
- 4:27 | your video and then you bait and switch
- 4:28 | them and say okay maybe that’s not for
- 4:30 | you or maybe in reality no one’s
- 4:31 | actually doing that and making that much
- 4:32 | money but I’ve got a great other choice
- 4:34 | for you that you might actually like now
- 4:36 | all you got to do is put in your email
- 4:37 | address and I’ll send you this great new
- 4:38 | system for how to start an online
- 4:40 | business so people go and they put in
- 4:42 | their email address and then they get
- 4:43 | emails back showing the product that
- 4:45 | they’re actually promoting which is one
- 4:46 | of those five companies that we talked
- 4:47 | about in the beginning now that video
- 4:48 | goes viral obviously it’s such a
- 4:50 | terrible claim but a lot of people are
- 4:51 | hooked and they watch the whole video
- 4:52 | and then the social media side assumes
- 4:54 | that it’s a great video because people
- 4:56 | watch the entire thing and so they blast
- 4:58 | it out there and you get all these
- 4:59 | people that watch and then some of these
- 5:00 | people actually do join the program that
- 5:02 | you’re promoting now they join and the
- 5:04 | affiliate marketer gets their first sale
- 5:05 | now they’re all excited so they do
- 5:07 | what’s called leveraging they make
- 5:08 | another video sitting on a beach
- 5:09 | somewhere maybe in a hammock maybe
- 5:10 | laying in the sand and they’re showing
- 5:12 | the screenshot of that money they just
- 5:13 | made and they say I only worked 10
- 5:15 | minutes today and I made $1,000 sitting
- 5:16 | on a beach using just my computer and
- 5:18 | you can do that as well so then they get
- 5:19 | a bunch of people to join and the same
- 5:20 | thing starts to happen with those people
- 5:21 | they get in they join the course they
- 5:22 | start to watch the course that teaches
- 5:24 | them how to make a bunch of bonus money
- 5:25 | claims once they make the bogus money
- 5:26 | claim people come in they start to
- 5:27 | leverage their success again they start
- 5:29 | to bring a bunch of more people in and
- 5:30 | those people learn the exact same thing
- 5:31 | and no one’s actually learning
- 5:32 | everything but everyone’s just doing the
- 5:33 | exact same
- 5:34 | thing all that’s happening is people are
- 5:37 | learning to sell a product that they
- 5:38 | just bought which is a product that
- 5:40 | teaches you how to sell the product that
- 5:42 | they just bought so if you’re new maybe
- 5:43 | you’ve been in it for a few months you
- 5:44 | still remember how you first found out
- 5:46 | about it let me know down below if some
- 5:47 | of this starts to sound a little bit
- 5:49 | familiar now all the big guys today they
- 5:51 | learn their lesson they’re a little
- 5:52 | better at phrasing things they’re a
- 5:53 | little better at structuring things so
- 5:55 | that it no longer is going to get them
- 5:57 | in trouble with the FTC but I got to say
- 5:59 | that if it looks like a duck if it
- 6:00 | quacks like a duck if it swims like a
- 6:08 | duck so let’s talk real quickly briefly
- 6:11 | about how this works for the other 10%
- 6:13 | there’s really two routes they’re doing
- 6:14 | one they’re either paying to run and
- 6:15 | send ads to different their affiliate
- 6:17 | links that’s an entirely different ball
- 6:19 | game that costs a lot of money that
- 6:20 | takes a lot of testing and things like
- 6:21 | that and we’re not going to dive into
- 6:23 | that here but everybody else what
- 6:24 | they’re doing is they’re finding a niche
- 6:26 | they’re finding a category something
- 6:27 | that they love a hobby something they’re
- 6:29 | passionate about and they can talk about
- 6:30 | and they can create you know a group
- 6:31 | online about then they start to build up
- 6:33 | a following they build up an audience of
- 6:35 | people that are connected to them that
- 6:36 | resonate with them because they post
- 6:38 | quality content that help people achieve
- 6:40 | their goals their dreams their passions
- 6:42 | solve their problems in that particular
- 6:43 | space as they start to do this they
- 6:45 | start to see that this audience has
- 6:47 | needs and so they start to search out
- 6:48 | high quality products that they can
- 6:49 | promote to this audience that will help
- 6:51 | them solve their problems that will help
- 6:52 | them achieve their desires now they tell
- 6:54 | Their audience about these products that
- 6:55 | they love and that they’re using in
- 6:57 | their lives and that are working for
- 6:58 | them and Their audience grows to them
- 6:59 | too and they start to make money as
- 7:01 | Their audience does this or often times
- 7:02 | it just is very natural they’ll be
- 7:04 | teaching Their audience something that
- 7:05 | can help Their audience and very
- 7:07 | naturally they can include an affiliate
- 7:08 | link to a product that has helped them
- 7:10 | doing the exact same thing cuz they’re a
- 7:11 | little bit ahead of Their audience so
- 7:13 | let’s dive in here wrp the Slate here do
- 7:15 | a good example let’s say you’re big into
- 7:17 | the fire movement and if you’re not
- 7:18 | familiar with that it’s Financial
- 7:19 | Independence retire early it’s people
- 7:20 | that want to retire early I love the
- 7:22 | movement uh but let’s say You’re really
- 7:23 | big into that movement and you want to
- 7:24 | create a a channel a YouTube channel
- 7:26 | maybe a Tik Tok Channel something like
- 7:27 | that around this the subject that you
- 7:29 | love and you’re passionate about now
- 7:30 | you’ve been in this for a while you
- 7:31 | remember when you first started you
- 7:32 | spent months maybe years kind of signing
- 7:34 | up for different stock Brokers and
- 7:35 | different online platforms that could
- 7:37 | help you buy and sell stocks and you
- 7:38 | grew to really hate some of them some of
- 7:40 | them had way too many fees some of them
- 7:41 | had issues you know were glitchy at
- 7:43 | certain times but you finally found one
- 7:45 | that you loved you just it was the one
- 7:46 | right it had all it checked all the
- 7:47 | boxes it was simple to use and you just
- 7:49 | grew to love this this broker this
- 7:51 | product so you start to make all kinds
- 7:52 | of videos about fire about you know
- 7:54 | retiring early then you might do
- 7:55 | something really basic like hey this is
- 7:56 | the best stock broker I’ve ever found
- 7:58 | after going through 10 different you
- 7:59 | might do something a little more from
- 8:00 | the side where you say hey this is how
- 8:02 | you start an IRA if you want to join the
- 8:04 | Fire movement well and guess what step
- 8:06 | two is it’s telling them they’re going
- 8:07 | to have to sign up for a broker and you
- 8:08 | can tell them hey I’ve been through 10
- 8:10 | Brokers and guess what nine of them are
- 8:12 | terrible but I’m going to leave a link
- 8:13 | down below to the one that really
- 8:14 | actually worked for me and you can just
- 8:16 | keep pumping out videos like this that
- 8:17 | people in the fire movement would like
- 8:19 | and every single one of these videos
- 8:20 | very naturally is going to have
- 8:21 | affiliate links peppered throughout it
- 8:23 | there’s no endless loop here there’s
- 8:25 | really just one person providing a bunch
- 8:27 | of value and getting compensated by the
- 8:28 | company as they do so and it’s truly a
- 8:30 | win-win-win situation where the
- 8:32 | affiliate wins the company wins by
- 8:34 | getting a customer and the customer wins
- 8:35 | by finding one of the best products
- 8:37 | because the affiliate actually cared
- 8:38 | enough about the customer to tell the
- 8:39 | truth affiliate marketing done right
- 8:41 | means everyone wins now I’m going to be
- 8:43 | straight honest I used to sell courses
- 8:45 | on this and a lot of you know I sold a
- 8:46 | course up until about a year ago I don’t
- 8:47 | sell courses on this anymore but what we
- 8:49 | are going to do is the next video we
- 8:51 | launch is going to be a full full
- 8:53 | training on how to do affiliate
- 8:54 | marketing we won’t be capturing emails
- 8:55 | we won’t be upgrading you to buy courses
