YOU MADE IT HERE!!

That means you're interested in getting started in Affiliate Marketing.  I don't blame you, I'm interested too!  I've spent about a month and a half talking to people in the game, watching videos of the gurus and big-shots and kings and queens of this industry, and I've been studying the ways to do it.  What has it done for me?  Really confused me ... a lot.  When I first started looking into it I was excited because all these people made it seem easy to make $300.00 per day doing it.  Well, it may be easy for those people who have laid the ground work but they rarely tell you how much work you have to put in to get there.  Don't get me wrong, it's rewarding even in the beginning, but it's not quite as simple as those big shots make it out to be.  At least it hasn't been for me.

I recently (today is Jan. 9th 2020 and by "recently" I mean yesterday) got my first commission.  It was 70. and some change.  Boy was I excited to see it in my ClickBank dashboard!  It sparked a new flame that was almost fizzled out.  A new drive.  A new motivation.  And more nights with very little sleep.  If I can get a $70.00 commission by surprise why can't I multiply that times five?  And repeat that daily?  I can.  And I will.

I will do a tutorial on how you can get started for yourself, but there's a few tools you need and that's why I'm setting up this page.  Now some of these tools are time-sensitive so don't dive in unless you have some free time to spend getting to know the industry a bit, if you haven't already.  Don't do what I did and burn your "free trial" time watching tutorial videos or videos of other people's success.  Most of these tools I'm going to show you have their own built-in tutorials and I suggest taking them.  Take them all.  Take notes. Lots of notes.  If you do any research on Affiliate Marketing you'll quickly find there are many ways to go about making some money on the internet, and it can be overwhelming.  Take a deep breath, get excited and passionate, and start dreaming of financial freedom.  That's what I'm doing, and that's what is keeping me going every single day.
Here's a shot of my VERY FIRST COMMISSION.... it CAN happen for you and much quicker and easier than it was for me if you follow the right steps carefully.
Picture
$70.61.  Not bad for not putting any money into this stuff.  I have invested a lot of time though.  I'm really hoping the time so far will help you not have to spend as much time trying to figure out how it works.  Now, back on track.  YOU want to get involved in Affiliate Marketing?  Do you know anything about it yet?  Have you watched any videos from Nathan Lucas, John Crestani, Pat Flynn, John Chow, Jeremy Schoemaker, Neil Patel, Darren Rowse, Finch Sells, Missy Ward, Shawn Collins, or Rafael Zelik?  How about Lorenzo of Mr. Green?  What about Tony Robbins?  Yeah, THE Tony Robbins.  I could go on and on.  Did you know around 700,000 people became official MILLIONAIRES in 2017?  And those numbers just keep going up?  Imagine working from home... a few hours a day... and making $300.... $400... $500.... $600 or more and not having to punch a time card to do it or answer to anyone or having to do stupid chores (Like a DJ having to play Cupid Shuffle).  Yeah I'm only imagining it too right now, but wouldn't it be great?   Wouldn't that be amazing?  Now what if we all work together to elevate our financial status so when I go on trips around the world you can afford to come with me?  Yeah.  That's my "Big Picture" and that's exactly why I'm doing this. 
     What is affiliate marketing? Now if you Google search it, Affiliate Marketing is the process of earning income every time you promote someone else’s products or services.  If you generate a sale for the company, you get paid. If you don’t generate a sale, you don’t get paid. You may have heard of “residual income” or “passive income” or “make money while you dream” or “make money while you sleep”.  You get the idea. If you haven’t, it’s what Millionaires dream of before they become Millionaires. Ways to generate income without having to do anything because all the hard work was already done by someone.  Sure you can inherit it, but let’s be honest, you’re reading this so you probably aren’t heir to some crazy royalty riches, right?

     Whether you like to write blogs and articles like this, you know your way around the internet, you’re good in front of a camera and can do vlogs and YouTube videos, or you just know how to type and can post ads and research SEO (get used to that term.  I didn’t know what it was a month ago).... Well, you can do this.  

     So, what exactly is affiliate marketing?  Well, if you have a blog or website, spend a lot of time on social media, have a YouTube Channel, spend a lot of time chatting, know how to post an ad on Craigslist, have every social media account under the sun or only have one then you can start promoting products and services to get a commission for it. Nothing more, nothing less.  Internet commerce is growing and taking over as we’ve all seen in our own communities. Why not be a part of that action? It isn’t a single person’s game though. It involved the advertiser, the publisher and the consumer. Now I plan on being both an advertiser as well as a publisher. I’ll get more into that later.
 Why Affiliate Marketing?    Affiliate Marketing has grown substantially over the recent years.  And of course it has, who wouldn’t want to get in on the action? In the physical retail world you have a manufacturer, shipper, distributor, retail outlet, sales employee and consumer.  Probably a few I left out, and on a grand scale there are potentially thousands of people that deal with a simple product before it goes from manufacturer to the consumer. Now imagine being at the top of that chain and cutting out all the links in-between, only having yourself, an advertiser, and the consumer.  See why there’s so much money potentially to be made? There are a LOT of monetization strategies by spending just a few hours daily on the internet. The most profitable is Affiliate Marketing.

Benefits for the Publisher or manufacturer:

  • NO big investments
     It doesn’t take a lot of money to run a website in the beginning.  You can set one up for free, but I strongly suggest getting one for a few bucks a month mainly for security purposes.  Those free sites aren’t always dependable. Spend a few bucks on the domain and hosting then you can purchase ads, hire people to make them or create ads on your own.  There are a lot of things that can be done relatively cheap or even for free.

  • Make Money Around The Clock
     Your website, blog, Facebook page, Instagram Page, Twitter, YouTube Channel and more can make money for you 24/7.  People can easily look into your websites any hour of the day and since you don’t have to maintain physical hours there aren’t any restrictions about what time you operate.  Just keep your internet shelves updated to get the proper traffic. You will utilize more sales when you keep your shelves clean and fresh. You know what I mean by “internet shelves” I hope…. It’s too soon to get lost. ;)

  • No Warehouses needed
No need for a warehouse, cluttered storage room, or garage full of product you’re hoping to sell.  You’re in E-commerce specifically Network Marketing. You don’t have to keep the storage, not to mention packing and shipping products.  As a publisher or advertiser, all you really have to do is keep your sites updated. That’s it. 

Benefits for the Advertiser:
  • Lower Investment
     You definitely don’t need a lot of capital to get started.  Now there ARE programs out there that will fast-track your success and to be honest I think some of them are VERY good products and services.  I’ll show you more about those later. Most of the companies that sell products also offer the affiliates discounts to be able to try their products out that they’re going to be promoting.  Some of these things you can utilize for your own business, so there are a lot of other benefits as well. You won’t need to really pay for any other costs until your ads work once your main platform is set up.  Now to do it RIGHT it’s not free, but who are we? We’re the people that always insist on doing things the hard way. ;)

  • You don’t pay for ads until they are working
    One of the glorious things about Affiliate Marketing is that you don’t get charged for any advertising until the ads have actually done something for you.  So unless you’re getting the traffic to the promotional offers you set up you won’t have to pay for anything. It’s this way with Facebook Advertising, Google Advertising and any other advertising platform you may decide to utilize once you build your business. You only get charged for your advertisements when people are actually doing what you are advertising for them to do.

  • Save Money on Sales
     There is no reason to hire the sales traffic to promote your advertisements.  You can give that responsibility to your affiliates and they will only charge after the sales have started to shoot.  Say you post an EBook on how to make your five favorite desserts. You want to make $5.00 for your EBook every time someone wants to download those recipes.  Now of course this is hypothetical for demonstration purposes, but you get the idea. You put together your EBook, post it on ClickBank, JVZoo or Warrior+ (Go ahead and research those, they’ll be in the “tools” section you’ll refer to later).  Now you set it up to get 50% of the pay and your give your affiliate a piece of the pie. See what I did there? So now wherever you posted your offer too will take their few cents, and viola. You’ve “cooked up” a plan where potentially thousands of people will use their custom link they got through the Affiliate Marketplace on one of those three sites, start posting that link in their blogs and putting it in their newsletters, and driving traffic to purchase your product.  Now putting together the Ebook may have taken you a few hours, but those few bucks every time someone purchases it for the next five years without you having to do ANYTHING AT ALL sure will be nice, won’t it? Did a lightbulb just flash? I hope so. I’m going to help you write that EBook. :)
 
  • Increase in the page ranking
     Now this is a bit confusing until it makes sense.  Make sense? Search engines rate the websites HIGHER with the inbound sits link rather than those that don’t. In other words linking the advertiser’s site to a network of advertisers and the advertisers of the SAME FIELD will even rank the site higher.  Another one of those SEO type things you’ll learn about later.
  • In Control
     As an advertiser, YOU are the one that gets to decide the commissions for the ads, what pieces are important for the publisher to get paid and others.  You maintain the control. Once you are well established in the market you can have as many affiliates you want and watch your sales jump. Skyrocket. Take off.  Blow up. Kapow! Kaboom. JUST REMEMBER to take care of the affiliates promoting your product and they’ll do their job. The affiliate software will send banners, images or other elements necessary for the ads.  If you wanted to get started pushing your “How to be a better Karaoke Singer” Ebook or tutorial PDF download you want to sell for two dollars, well I know a great videographer and graphic designer that can help you put together an impressive package of tools for affiliates to utilize.  Just sayin’. That’s part of what FunkShop M.A.P. is all about, yo!


Why an affiliate marketer?

     Now, did you rally ask WHY?  It’s 2020.  If we’ve learned ANYTHING by now it’s not what you ask, but HOW you ask.  WHY NOT? Spin everything in a positive manner and allow it to manifest positive vibes.  That Law Of Attraction thing. In case you’re not familiar pick up a copy of The Secret. One of my favorite books in the world and it literally about saved my life one time. By the way, see what I did there?  I linked the book to my AMAZON ASSOCIATES link (There, I did it AGAIN!) and if anyone clicks on that link and buys it I’ll get a COMMISSION from the sale! If you DO that also fill up your shopping cart with a bunch of other things before you checkout, and I’ll get commissions on those too!  At least that’s what I’ve been told. Anyways…. There are a LOT of reasons to get involved in Affiliate Marketing, and the list is long and extensive. Here’s a few short reasons why you should get involved, and jump on my team. We’re building an EMPIIIIREEEEEE…. (see if you can see what I did there….)

  • Take your ideas to a GLOBAL audience.
  • The most cost-effective way to be in business for yourself, and it’s turning hundreds if not thousands of people into MILLIONAIRES every single year.
  • Almost ALL of the affiliate programs are FREE.  If you have a product you’re selling they take a commission off of the sale, so you don’t give a dime until you make a lot more dimes.
  • You get passive & residual income.  That means you set up something today and it can pay you years later and you won’t have to do anything at all. 
  • You get to work FROM HOME on your OWN TIME.  You control your timeclock, not some boss or corporation.
  • No customer support necessary.  

Tips for success

     Success is like money.  It doesn’t grow on trees, remember it PROBABLY won’t happen overnight.  You will have to work towards it, but follow these simple steps and it will definitely help your journey and cut down on some struggle along the way.
 
  • Start using products or promoting products you are familiar with and comfortable endorsing.  You can see my promotion for Dude Wipes here. And here. And here. See how easy it is to create a link?  Now when someone clicks on the link and watches the video, I get MUCH NEEDED (hint hint) view time on a video on my YouTube.  Also when people click on the link and watch my YouTube video they can click on the link to PURCHASE Dude Wipes (see what I did THERE?) and I’ll get a commission off of that too!
  • Choose a few products and focus on them. Don’t overwhelm yourself trying to promote everything under the sun.
  • Do some Google and YouTube research on your chosen products and rank them according to popularity.  What gets more YouTube attention and Google traffic?
  • ALWAYS study and pay attention to what the big dogs are doing.  They always release tips and “secrets” sometimes not even realizing they’re releasing valuable information for free.
  • Pick products with authentic merchants.  Is it something with gravity? You’ll learn a lot about that later too.  Gravity means it’s got a higher purchase rate.

Did you know?
  • Approximately 60% of affiliates work from home.  No office, no overhead, they use the internet connection they already pay for and the computer they already bought.  Or in my case four computers. I’ll tell you why when you get started on the team.
  • Almost HALF of all affiliates promote less than TEN products a year.
  • Over 3% of affiliates make over 500K per YEAR. That seems like a small number, but after everything you’ve read if you can implement these things to make half a million bucks in a YEAR you’re doing something right, RIGHT?
  • 69% of affiliates ONLY promote consumer-based products. Not programs to get rich, but actual products people can use every single day.
 
    Now that I’ve got your attention, please let me know if you’re still interested in exploring this world with me.  I’m a rookie myself so bear with me, I’m still learning how to knock down hurdles so I don’t have to jump over them.  I’m not a very good jumper anyways. If you’re still interested join the Facebook group I’ve created and added a few experienced affiliate marketers to so we can help guide you along your journey.  In a few years let’s sip some yummy concoction from a coconut on a white sandy beach somewhere, shall we?
Thanks for taking the time to read this…. Even if you’re just reading it because I kept you entertained, if you’re still here I’ve done my job.  Everything I do is practice for my next step. I appreciate your support of this journey and look forward to the next lesson!  
COMING SOON…. THE LINK that will show you STEP BY STEP how to get started in Affiliate Marketing for yourself, and EXACTLY what I did to make my first 70.00 commission that I didn’t have to pay anything for.
