Amazon Affiliate Marketing for Beginners in 2025! [Realistic Results]

I have been doing affiliate marketing for a long time and I think this is a beginner friendly way to get into the world of online …

• 0:00 | if you want to earn some extra money
• 0:01 | from home without sacrificing too much
• 0:03 | of your spare time then I would
• 0:05 | recommend learning everything you can
• 0:07 | about affiliate marketing isn’t that a
• 0:09 | bit dramatic and for you complete
• 0:11 | beginners affiliate marketing is
• 0:12 | essentially selling other people’s
• 0:14 | products or services for them and in
• 0:16 | exchange for helping them get that new
• 0:18 | customer you get to take a small portion
• 0:20 | of the money that that company earned
• 0:22 | it’s kind of win-win and it’s the way
• 0:24 | that I have made a full-time living for
• 0:27 | around two decades now wow you must be
• 0:30 | now affiliate marketing is a pretty
• 0:31 | broad term and I test lots of different
• 0:33 | strategies within the affiliate
• 0:35 | marketing or digital marketing umbrella
• 0:37 | with lots of different results but in
• 0:38 | this simple video I want to show you one
• 0:40 | way that’s making me money every single
• 0:42 | day now it’s not impressive amounts of
• 0:44 | money but it’s very realistic and I
• 0:46 | think it’s something that most people
• 0:48 | out there will absolutely understand and
• 0:50 | could potentially do because it’s open
• 0:52 | to everybody and there is a much smaller
• 0:54 | barrier to entry than a lot of the other
• 0:56 | strategies I’ve tested on this channel
• 0:58 | and to add another cool thing I have
• 1:00 | exactly one year worth of data so this
• 1:03 | week hit the onee mark for all the
• 1:05 | different monetization strategies I’m
• 1:07 | going to talk about so I have 365 days
• 1:09 | worth of data to share with you so get
• 1:11 | to it then so very simply to make most
• 1:13 | of these strategies work you need two
• 1:15 | things you need something to sell and
• 1:17 | you need someone to sell it to so the
• 1:19 | first part of this strategy what are we
• 1:21 | selling well for this example that I’m
• 1:22 | going to show you we are using the king
• 1:24 | of affiliate programs Amazon now the
• 1:26 | good thing about Amazon is you have
• 1:28 | access to millions of different products
• 1:31 | and it’s reasonably easy to get approved
• 1:33 | for and it’s available pretty much
• 1:35 | worldwide but the bad news about Amazon
• 1:37 | is that the amount of money that they’re
• 1:38 | willing to share with you is so small
• 1:41 | that it really does take some more
• 1:42 | effort to make really meaningful money
• 1:44 | and the other part of this strategy is
• 1:46 | finding that person to sell things to
• 1:48 | and for me the most obvious way and the
• 1:50 | most fun way is through videos on
• 1:52 | YouTube and don’t worry I’m not talking
• 1:54 | about really nice well-edited videos
• 1:57 | with text popups and cool transitions
• 2:00 | and sound effects and multiple camera
• 2:02 | angles I’m talking about Bare Bones ugc
• 2:05 | Style videos that you can literally make
• 2:08 | using your cell phone doubt that so
• 2:10 | let’s take a look at some of my simple
• 2:11 | videos my honest results after one year
• 2:14 | and if you’re interested in trying to do
• 2:15 | something like this yourself please make
• 2:17 | sure you stay to the end because I’m
• 2:18 | going to show you how to make way more
• 2:20 | money than I am and how you can make
• 2:22 | your channel like mine a lot more
• 2:24 | successful okay so here is my very
• 2:27 | painfully simple channel it’s called
• 2:28 | Adam recommends and it is essentially
• 2:31 | reviewing Amazon products but I would
• 2:32 | borderline say I’m not reviewing
• 2:34 | anything I’m recommending products cuz I
• 2:36 | don’t do a thorough review of any of
• 2:38 | these things I literally take something
• 2:39 | that I bought on Amazon and I sit in
• 2:41 | front of this camera right here and just
• 2:43 | talk about pretty much why I bought it
• 2:45 | and if you keep these things in mind I
• 2:47 | believe you will have a better more
• 2:48 | successful time at this if you identify
• 2:51 | a problem and you tell why that thing is
• 2:53 | going to be the solution of that problem
• 2:55 | and then say that you recommend it so
• 2:57 | now you’re identifying problems you’re
• 2:58 | giving that person a solution solution
• 3:00 | and you’re giving some testimonial or
• 3:02 | some social proof that this is a quality
• 3:04 | product combining those things really
• 3:06 | can make this whole system work so if
• 3:08 | you like to drink water during the day
• 3:10 | which you should be doing and you want
• 3:12 | to keep it cold you need a really good
• 3:14 | product to help do that this is a
• 3:16 | product that I use and I would
• 3:17 | definitely recommend it you know it
• 3:19 | could be that painfully simple and if
• 3:20 | you look at my channel here you’re going
• 3:22 | to see that 51 seconds 56 seconds a
• 3:25 | minute and 13 a minute and three all of
• 3:27 | my videos 44 seconds they are literally
• 3:30 | just me talking very quickly about why I
• 3:33 | bought this particular product and why I
• 3:35 | would recommend it and you can also see
• 3:36 | by the views like I I did all these
• 3:38 | videos yesterday six views two views six
• 3:41 | views 11 views 12 views 18 views um
• 3:44 | every once in a while you’ll find one in
• 3:45 | the hundreds and here’s one in 554 views
• 3:49 | 522 views so most of my channel is
• 3:52 | getting just tiny little bits of views
• 3:54 | every single day but here’s the cool
• 3:56 | thing that you might not like 7 10
• 4:00 | videos so my videos don’t get very many
• 4:02 | views but I have so many of them that
• 4:04 | even if I’m only getting five or 10
• 4:06 | views per day per video multiply that
• 4:08 | time 710 videos I need to know what
• 4:10 | you’re thinking I’m not making 700
• 4:12 | videos are you nuts look how easy these
• 4:15 | things are I literally showed you an
• 4:17 | example of how to do one right here and
• 4:18 | if you don’t want to actually have your
• 4:20 | face on camera like I’m doing then pick
• 4:21 | up the product hold it in front of your
• 4:23 | phone and talk into it if you don’t like
• 4:25 | the sound of your voice if you’re not a
• 4:27 | native English speaker AI voiceovers are
• 4:29 | so so good nowadays that you probably
• 4:31 | could not tell the difference so do the
• 4:33 | phone record it add the voice over and
• 4:36 | post that adds a little bit of time and
• 4:38 | effort to it I would just talk right
• 4:40 | into it and say hey look at this thing I
• 4:41 | just found on Amazon I needed a way to
• 4:43 | keep my water cold all day and this
• 4:45 | thing works super well I would
• 4:47 | definitely recommend it that’s how
• 4:49 | simple these things are that I make it
• 4:51 | that’s why I was over the past couple of
• 4:53 | years able to do 710 videos now there’s
• 4:55 | a little bit more to this story that if
• 4:57 | you’ve been following my channel you’ll
• 4:58 | know that these were actually made for
• 5:00 | an Amazon influencer program and I’m
• 5:02 | reusing them here but because this isn’t
• 5:04 | my main focus I’m not really doing this
• 5:06 | correctly I’m not doing any search
• 5:07 | engine optimization I’m not doing
• 5:09 | anything that I should be doing that I
• 5:11 | will get to at the end of this video but
• 5:13 | before we do that let’s just take a look
• 5:14 | at how much this actually makes so this
• 5:17 | channel was monetized on YouTube 365
• 5:20 | days ago which is why I’m making this
• 5:21 | video right now from the beginning it
• 5:23 | was making small amounts of affiliate
• 5:25 | sales and Amazon doesn’t let you do more
• 5:27 | than a 90day custom date range so I will
• 5:31 | have to do just last year just kind of
• 5:33 | as an example know that this is not the
• 5:35 | exact numbers but it’s close so if you
• 5:37 | do last year I made over $3,000 with
• 5:40 | links in the descriptions of these
• 5:41 | videos so let’s look at one of these
• 5:43 | videos so when someone clicks on a video
• 5:45 | of mine all I do is literally sit in
• 5:48 | front of this camera and talk about it
• 5:49 | for around a minute and then I take the
• 5:51 | name of that product and I put it right
• 5:53 | here in the title and then I put the
• 5:55 | word review and then I have the view the
• 5:58 | current price with an Amazon link to
• 6:00 | that product and then review of the and
• 6:02 | then I just copy and paste this directly
• 6:04 | from Amazon right here so that’s it
• 6:06 | that’s all I’m doing obviously I have my
• 6:07 | affiliate disclaimer I have some tags in
• 6:10 | there but I’m not doing anything crazy
• 6:13 | complicated here like this literally
• 6:15 | took me 1 and 1/2 minutes to record and
• 6:17 | then I went in and edited out some of
• 6:19 | the ums and pauses cuz I like doing that
• 6:21 | but you don’t have to do that you can
• 6:23 | literally just record for a minute and
• 6:24 | upload that video and that’s it so
• 6:26 | you’re going to make affiliate revenue
• 6:28 | and again last year I made around $3,400
• 6:31 | just in affiliate Revenue but also this
• 6:33 | channel was monetized back in March 25th
• 6:37 | of 2024 and I’m filming this on March
• 6:40 | 27th so I have exactly one year worth of
• 6:43 | data now so once you’re approved of the
• 6:45 | partner program you not only make money
• 6:47 | from people clicking on your links you
• 6:49 | can also make money from advertisements
• 6:51 | that may appear on those videos and
• 6:53 | having those advertisements in the last
• 6:55 | 365 days has made me $3,800 or 382 0.3 6
• 7:00 | so if we add both of those up which I
• 7:01 | did previously that is
• 7:05 | $6,499 3 I’ve made in the past 365 days
• 7:09 | by doing really simple one minute
• 7:11 | reviews and uploading them to YouTube
• 7:13 | That’s $500 a month and I’m barely
• 7:16 | scratching the surface on the things you
• 7:17 | can do with a channel like this I mean I
• 7:19 | putting very very little time and effort
• 7:21 | into this I’m making these videos for a
• 7:23 | different program and then I have them
• 7:25 | so I just throw them up here put the
• 7:26 | name put the link set it live and I
• 7:28 | leave it alone in still $500 every month
• 7:31 | I make and growing that’s going to
• 7:33 | continue to grow as this channel
• 7:35 | continues to grow and I’m not going out
• 7:36 | and buying products specifically to
• 7:38 | review them I’m literally just reviewing
• 7:40 | the things that come to my house on a
• 7:42 | normal week so this week I’ve only had
• 7:44 | four products and I waited till all four
• 7:46 | of them arrived and then I did all four
• 7:48 | of them in one day and uploaded all four
• 7:50 | of them but before that I had two
• 7:52 | products last week that I uploaded and
• 7:54 | then before that it was 13 days before
• 7:57 | that I had a few products what 1 2 3
• 8:00 | four products that I got and did those
• 8:02 | so that’s kind of the workload here I’m
• 8:04 | talking about maybe four videos that
• 8:07 | take me maybe 20 minutes a week to do
• 8:09 | something like that so if you’re willing
• 8:11 | to put at least a tiny bit of time and
• 8:13 | effort into something like this you can
• 8:14 | make something like $500 a month like I
• 8:17 | am doing but if you want to scale that
• 8:18 | up if this was your main concern let’s
• 8:20 | say I didn’t have all this other stuff I
• 8:22 | was doing let’s say I didn’t have this
• 8:23 | Channel and I didn’t have the businesses
• 8:25 | I consult for and I didn’t have all my
• 8:26 | other side hustles and I was just
• 8:28 | focused on making this YouTube channel
• 8:30 | work I believe I could do it and here’s
• 8:32 | how I would do it right now all of my
• 8:35 | videos are around 1 minute now if you
• 8:37 | know anything about AdSense revenue on
• 8:39 | YouTube you’ll know that if your video
• 8:41 | is 8 minutes you can have an ad at the
• 8:43 | beginning the end and in the middle
• 8:45 | which are called mid row ads right now
• 8:48 | my videos are only 1 minute meaning I
• 8:50 | don’t have any of those mid row ads so
• 8:51 | I’m not showing as many ads on my videos
• 8:54 | as you could be showing on your videos
• 8:56 | if you were making 8 minute videos now
• 8:58 | it would probably be be hard to sit and
• 9:00 | make an 8 minute video about a new mug
• 9:03 | that you got so I’m not saying you have
• 9:05 | to do that but you could do that you
• 9:06 | could do a very thorough review of a
• 9:09 | thing that took 8 minutes but you could
• 9:10 | also just take these simple one minute
• 9:13 | videos and you can make compilation
• 9:14 | videos out of them so for example I
• 9:16 | could have said like my favorite Amazon
• 9:19 | purchases of last week and then combined
• 9:21 | all eight of these into one video pretty
• 9:24 | much just take the exact video maybe do
• 9:26 | some sort of countdown or transition or
• 9:28 | some sort of Interest like here are the
• 9:29 | best things I found on Amazon last week
• 9:32 | and then one after another just put
• 9:33 | those small videos so that now you have
• 9:35 | an 8-minute video compilation of your
• 9:37 | last 10 products upload that to YouTube
• 9:40 | and now you have an 8 minute video which
• 9:42 | could potentially make you more money
• 9:44 | than a small one minute video because
• 9:45 | you can fit more ads in there and then
• 9:47 | you can also start doing creative things
• 9:49 | like the five best gifts for men for
• 9:52 | Valentine’s Day and pick five of the
• 9:53 | things that you reviewed that you think
• 9:55 | guys might like on Valentine’s Day or if
• 9:57 | you buy lots of clothing on Amazon you
• 9:59 | can do like a clothing haul a try on
• 10:02 | video you can expand this idea into much
• 10:06 | longer much better much more SEO
• 10:09 | findable much more search Rich content
• 10:12 | and scale something like this way up
• 10:14 | there’s also tons of AI programs that
• 10:16 | are available nowadays that help you
• 10:18 | make videos like this that you can
• 10:20 | literally put in a link to the Amazon
• 10:22 | product and it makes it for you I don’t
• 10:23 | recommend any of that stuff but all that
• 10:25 | stuff is there it’s getting better it’s
• 10:28 | getting more usable so you are limited
• 10:30 | only by your creativity hopefully you
• 10:32 | can see that these types of videos take
• 10:34 | a lot of effort and this probably isn’t
• 10:36 | the right path for most people but the
• 10:38 | types of videos I’m talking about on
• 10:40 | this simple channel are very easy to do
• 10:42 | with the sophisticated camera and
• 10:44 | editing tools that we have in our
• 10:46 | pockets nowadays I believe this could be
• 10:48 | an entry-level business into affiliate
• 10:51 | marketing for a lot of people that are
• 10:53 | watching my videos so if you haven’t
• 10:54 | made your first dollar online with
• 10:55 | affiliate marketing this could
• 10:57 | potentially be a way to do it with some
• 10:59 | time and patience and some effort but
• 11:01 | once you get the ball rolling on
• 11:02 | something like this and you start
• 11:04 | Gathering those videos and Views this
• 11:06 | becomes a pretty easy couple hour a week
• 11:09 | business that you could run that could
• 11:11 | potentially make you a full-time income
• 11:12 | so if you are into learning more about
• 11:14 | all the different side houses I have I
• 11:15 | have playlists in all different videos
• 11:17 | talking about all different types of
• 11:18 | side hustles I just wanted to focus on
• 11:20 | this tiny one today because it’s very
• 11:22 | accessible to many people and if you
• 11:23 | like this sort of stuff then please do
• 11:24 | all those things you’re supposed to do
• 11:25 | to help a channel grow and I’ll see you
• 11:27 | in the next one I’m not impressed
