Affiliate Marketing

The different forms of affiliate marketing are all forms of business in which an individual repackages a sellers product, to then resell as their own package and by adding a bonus they increase the likelihood of someone buying the newly packaged deal through their link. Adding a bonus is a case of identifying the product you wish to resell, then adding items that correlate to the product which you're selling. This could be done either by buying something that adds value that you can add into the final cost, or making something of your own or acquiring something that is free to go along with the main product. I'll add some examples below.

Globally, the affiliate marketing industry is worth over $12 Billion. You'll find that almost every business online will have an affiliate marketing program, which is normally very easy to join. 81% of brands rely on affiliate marketers, and affiliate programs to bring in 15% -- 30% of all sales from advertisers.

If we take Giffgaff for example, this network provides amazing coverage across the UK and is backed by O2, meaning you have worldwide coverage that's offered by O2 meaning you don't have to worry about changing sim cards while traveling and if you did decide to change to another sim while traveling, you don't have to get your phone unlocked because the masts that O2 uses, will be the same as one of the networks you find in the other country. (I've personally done this and it works) 

Affiliate marketing would relate to this post by me now adding my link         .  When someone orders through my link and then tops up the sim card, Giffgaff will send both of us £5 each, so if you were getting a new sim card and came across this offer, you would be up £5 and have exactly what you were after. So the idea is to put your offer in front of people who are looking for the thing you're offering. 

The idea is to write an informative post about your product, one that captures the reader's mind, or another way to do this would be by making a video of your experience with a product and then uploading your video to YouTube with your link in the bio. The more positive points you can make about your product would make it more appealing to your audience, which would lead more people to want to purchase the offer through your link. 

Another form of affiliate marketing is something called "Launch Jacking" which is a simple yet very effective form of affiliate marketing and gives a better chance of promoting and selling the product. The idea behind Launch jacking is to capture the audience of either an upcoming release of a product launch or while the release is happening and this happens when there's an audience that is looking for the relevant information, so you create a video of how the product works and the embed your affiliate link in the bio of your YouTube video. This requires some planning and preparation I'll add a detailed 9 part video series below that explains every part of the process.

 

Step 1 would be to have the knowledge of a product that's soon to be released and then make a video explaining how the product works, one place we can get that info is by heading over to Muncheye.com  where you can see all the latest releases. (The product could be a video course or a software product, otherwise known as a SAAS Software As A Service) generally, you want to get a preview of the product so that you can make an informed decision about whether the product is something that brings value to the world, and so that you can talk about these points of value in your video. You get access to the trial of a product by contacting the supplier, we get the suppliers by going to their JVzoo page where influencers create video courses that teach something through a video training course, so you should look to find a video course that you feel you can promote because it's in your niche. We also have WarriorPlus which is a SAAS site (Software as a service) and here you can find software that can do a huge number of things, it just takes going onto the site and looking around until you find a software that you feel you can create a video that explains the use of that software and how it could help someone else. 

Step 2 is where you take the knowledge you have of the course and then put together your video on how it works, and then you should build a simple web page that mimics the seller's page. All this information is in the video course below.

 

Some people aren't comfortable showing themselves on video and that's fine, there's an easy workaround where we can use just your voice and not show your face on camera, or if you're not comfortable putting your voice into the video either, you can get a text to speech software which works amazingly well (I'll sometimes download a book and use software to read the book while cycling or doing other tasks) Specifically, I would use Speechelo since the AI kinda sounds like a  real person. You can get a lifetime plan for just $47 by clicking           .

This is the IM Apprentice video series, it's part of  9 videos which start someone from the beginning to the money-making stages, it's a complete walkthrough consisting of every step you need.

 

This has been created by Jono Armstrong and Ryan Mcinnes, an Englishman and a Scotsman, what a great combo for an upbeat series considering it's just a training video, I've only added the first one here, but if you go through to YouTube you'll have access to all the rest of the videos there.
