Affiliate Marketing Tutorial For Beginners 2021 (Step by Step)

 everyone welcome to learn affiliate marketing

in this all-inclusive tutorial we are

going to go step by step showing you

exactly how to get started with

affiliate marketing some different

traffic routes we're gonna talk about

paid traffic versus free traffic but

we're really gonna go in-depth in

affiliate marketing to show you

everything that you need to know when it

comes to making money as an affiliate

marketer now the one thing I hate that I

have to disclaim this but look I'm not

selling any products I'm not trying to

get you to buy my affiliate marketing

course that I'm selling for $1000 I'm

not doing any of that because the truth

is I don't sell any online courses this

is totally free information you can

learn all of this for free on the

internet with YouTube tutorials and a

number of other different resources so

with that said let's get started with

this video if you're new here to the

channel make sure you subscribe for more

videos like this we do our best to bring

out as many marketing videos as possible

but this is a very very fun opportunity

and I'm very excited that you landed on

this video I recommend you take out a

pen take out a piece of paper and let's

jump into this now so first of all

affiliate marketing we're gonna talk

about exactly what it is and some

strategies and some of my best pointers

for how to get a higher conversion rates

and how to just essentially make more

money with this process because in the

past few years my brother Mike and I

have scaled up our affiliate marketing

businesses to generating thousands of

dollars per month and we'll show you

exactly how we do that will actually

take you into some of our accounts I

suppose we could do that in this video

as well but what I love about affiliate

marketing and the reason why I think it

is the best opportunity to get started

with as a business is because it's

totally free to start you don't have to

have money to buy products and then sell

products I see a lot of people who want

to start a business or they want to

started generating money and they think

that they need to have money to make

money

now the truth be told it is easier to

make money when you already have money

but with the affiliate marketing you

really don't have to have anything now

as you can see in this video it's

probably best to start with $100 or $200

just to get the ball rolling a little

bit faster but if you want to you could

literally start with $0 there really is

no threshold for that so that's one of

the best things about it there's really

no barrier to entry when it comes to

making money as an affiliate marketer so

it's incredibly lean as a start-up and

so with this

almost nothing to lose there's almost no

risk associated with this now maybe

there's some small levels of risk like

time for example putting in your time

but I can promise you this that if you

follow some of these steps in this video

you're going to find is that it's almost

impossible to fail and to not make money

with some of these things that we can be

doing so the first thing that I want to

do is we need to clear up the air a

little bit about affiliate marketing and

kind of look at how it's gone in the

past five 10 15 years it's actually been

around for quite some time it's been

around really since the 90s but in

practice it's almost been around before

the internet I'll give you an example

here so the way that affiliate marketing

will work is essentially what you will

do is you as the affiliate marketer can

choose to promote products for

businesses and every time that somebody

buys a product or you get a lead or a

sale for somebody who bought that

product you will get a commission or a

piece of the pie so think if I'm going

to get you to sign up for a a product

let's say that I'm gonna get you to sign

up for a bank account and we'll actually

talk about one of my youtube channels

which has about 500,000 subscribers and

how I do affiliate marketing on that

through free traffic sources but let's

say that I get somebody to sign up for a

bank account through a link right so as

an affiliate marketer that Bank might

give me $100 or 150 dollars for every

person who clicks on my designated link

because how affiliate marketing works is

you'll get a designated link and every

time somebody clicks on it and then

makes a purchase through that link you

will get money from that so that's what

affiliate marketing works you're going

out and marketing products for

businesses and then they're gonna give

you money for doing that for every time

you're making a sale every time you're

making a commission so what's great

about this is that you can scale it very

rapidly and very quickly I've seen

people and I kid you not I have a lot of

friends who have gone from zero dollars

a month to literally making five figures

monthly 10 15 $20,000 a month with

certain specific niches where we talk

about some of the best niches as well in

this video but this is just a golden

opportunity and I'm genuinely excited

that you landed on this video okay now

one other benefit to affiliate marketing

before we actually get into really the

the depth of it talking about the

different niches to get into the most

profitable ones some different affiliate

programs that you can join the other

great thing about it is that you don't

have to deal with customer service you

don't to deal with

people who bought your product who don't

like it and they want returns when

you're an affiliate marketer you're a

third-party marketer where if if I'm

selling if I'm going to market Nike

shoes for example I can market the shoes

make the sale and get the Commission I

get the money in my pocket and then two

months later if the person doesn't like

the nike shoes and they want to return

them in the Nike that's Nikes problem

that's not my problem as an affiliate

marketer so that's just one other

benefit to this okay so let's talk about

first of all the best niche to be in or

the best category to be in as an

affiliate marketer this is probably the

first thing that you're going to want to

think of when you go through this

journey is what what area am I going to

choose because the truth is you can

actually market products in almost any

industry so regardless of what it is

that you're thinking what type of

industry you're thinking of or selling

products I'm going to tell you this

right now that most things on the

internet most things that you can buy on

the internet most software most most

things that you'll be paying money for

subscriptions even a lot of those have

affiliate programs most companies even

the biggest companies in the world they

have affiliate programs and I'll

actually show you how to access those

later in this video as well so knowing

that most companies have affiliate

programs or that they're willing to make

ones for you I've had companies make

affiliate programs for me simply because

of the traffic that I was driving from

some of my youtube channels but just

know that most companies will have an

affiliate program okay and so let's

actually talk about niches and the best

niches to be in now I'm gonna bring up

one that I'm a little bit biased about

and I'm simply biased about this because

this is one that I actually kind of got

started with with one of my youtube

channels which was a great source for

free traffic now one of those niches was

actually in financials so what I learned

is that in the financial industry so you

can look at my youtube channel right

here let me actually just pull it up for

you

perhaps so I can show you exactly what

I've been doing on this youtube channel

now I have incredibly slow Wi-Fi right

here but I will pull this up and I'll

show you what I was doing on this

channel and I'll show you how much money

some of these videos made in the

financial niche now this doesn't mean

that you have to necessarily be in the

financial niche I actually recommend

that you don't go into it especially now

because it's much more competitive than

once was when I started this YouTube

channel two years ago the Nate O'Brien

YouTube channel which has almost 500,000

subscribers now it's kind of weird it

grows very fast that's something that

you'll notice with with free traffic

will also talk about paid traffic as

well and how to run ads made plenty of

videos on how to run ads if you want to

do that as an affiliate marketer but

just looking at some of the videos here

on this channel a lot of these generally

don't get anywhere between fifty

thousand views and a million views or so

depending on really kind of what the

video is about but let's just take this

video here for example of how I invest

in 2020 and so if we scroll down you'll

notice that there is a link in the

description here right here there's a

couple of links in the description now

each one of these links is going to be

an affiliate link for a financial

product now financial products are

something that pay pretty well so for

example some of these banks like this

link right here if I click on this link

it will take me to CIT Bank you can find

them on commission junction and their

base rate for affiliates as of now as of

sometime in 2020 is $100 per sign up for

a bank account so in this video I'm

talking about investing and then at one

point I'd likely say by the way if you

want to open up a bank account a high

end for savings bank account getting

1.75 percent interest click the link

down below people go they click on this

link and let's just say that out of one

hundred and twenty thousand views that I

got perhaps a thousand clicks onto this

link and then from that from a thousand

clicks let's say that I get a hundred

people being extremely conservative a

hundred people sign up for this bank and

I get a hundred dollar Commission in my

pocket for every person who signs up for

it this is this is common knowledge you

can look at this on CJ com Commission

Junction we'll talk about that later as

well but a hundred dollar Commission in

my pocket times a hundred people who

signed up from it from this video that's

a hundred times 100 is about $10,000 in

my pocket from this video that only got

a hundred and twenty thousand views it's

not some massive david dobrik 10 million

viewed video it's doesn't have that many

views compared to the standard on

YouTube but it stills and has made

thousands of dollars in the process so

each one of these financial products can

make

a bit of money saying for m1 finance

this is a brokerage firm that makes

quite a bit of money but even something

like this VPN right here so at one point

in some of my videos I'll mention I'll

say by the way VPN it'll just be a quick

little ad that I'll do and I'll say it

is an affiliate link

I'd like to disclose that it is an

affiliate link and I'll leave it down

below in the description so then if

people click on this it takes them to

Noor VPN and I will get roughly I think

my Commission has generally been about

45 or 47 dollars per person who's

signing up for Nord VPN and if this page

loads so for example right here you can

look that they clicked on the link for

Nord VPN and they can get it for a

pretty discounted price and you might

see that for example this this plan here

you can sign up for a three-year plan

for 349 a month that's a hundred and

twenty-five dollars billed every three

years there's what a lot of people sign

up for and so I'm getting I don't

remember the exact percentage that I'm

getting for that but usually what I see

them coming in is about $45 or so so I'm

probably getting a 30 or 40 percent as a

commission from Noor VPN and actually a

lot of websites what we can do here if

you're following along you can see that

if you scroll down you'll see affiliate

down here for Nord VPN this is actually

one of my favorite things to promote

which is VPN services because you can

make quite a bit of money with them but

you can become an affiliate and a lot of

companies a lot of websites if you just

scroll to the bottom will have a little

tiny thing and say affiliates or join as

an affiliate and you can go and look

over there affiliate program and so with

Nord VPN for example these are the

Commission's and in the payout models

that you would be expected to get if

you're promoting them and if people are

clicking on your link so you can see

that with the one month off or we can

get a hundred percent of the signup

right so if if somebody gets a one month

subscription to a VPN they paid $20 for

it

you've got $20 in your pocket now you'll

also get renewals for each one of these

so this means that years down the road

and this is actually pretty amazing to

see this happen because I actually have

affiliates that I've gotten people to

sign up for things years ago three years

ago and I have recurring commissions

coming in every single month so long as

that person who signed up for it is

paying for that subscription so these

nuwell fees are really really a game

changer because this can be the most

passive income possible once you get

people to sign up with things and look I

need to make a big disclaimer here that

I think it's important as an affiliate

marketer one of the biggest things that

I really think is essential is to have a

high level of integrity so you know I

think affiliate marketing sometimes gets

a bad rap from people because there's a

lot of people out there who will just go

out there and they'll promote crap the

market crap they're not good products

but they promote them anyway because

they want the money they're greedy

little people I don't know my philosophy

from this and the way there's work for

myself is I only choose to promote

products that I myself use or that I

myself think are very valuable products

so for example I wouldn't work with CIT

bank if I didn't think it was a good

bank

I wouldn't promote them I just wouldn't

but I choose to because I like them as a

bank I like noir VPN as a company so

that's something I think you should just

be very aware of going forward that

don't get sort of short-sighted with the

money especially if you're looking at a

company and thinking about promoting

them and you're thinking well I can make

a lot of money from this company but you

don't really like them you don't like

their morals you don't like the the

software that they have their product

you just don't like it and if something

about it sketches you out or you just

think it's weird or that your followers

or the people that you're marketing to

might not get a lot of value from it

then I personally would advise you to

avoid promoting those products because

the truth is there's so many products

out there that we can promote that it's

it's really easy to pick and choose and

find ones that are truly great for you

for paying you but also for the people

who you're marketing to and that's just

something that I think is really

incredibly important so going back to

niches and talking about the different

types of niches that we can promote

products and yes as you can see finance

it works out very well for me I make

essentially a full-time income off of

this primarily YouTube channel here the

Nate O'Brien YouTube channel a lot of

that comes from affiliates and yes it

does pay well but what I would suggest

you doing is even if you're watching

this video thinking oh wow may start a

financial YouTube channel here or a

financial blog I'm just gonna tell you

now that I think it's best to choose a

topic that you're truly passionate about

and maybe you've heard people say is

before but

it really does hold a high level of

truth to it now I've tried in the past

to start blogs to start Facebook groups

to start YouTube channels to start

Instagram pages that were in topics or

niches and I just didn't really care

about and so if you want to get started

with the affiliate marketing find a

niche that you're passionate about if

you absolutely love music guess what

there are music products that you can

promote you can promote a number of

different streaming services there's a

lot of things that you can promote in

any different industry so don't don't go

for finance honestly I think it's a

little bit flooded right now it

certainly does pay well

but at the end of the day I would focus

on things that you truly are very

passionate about okay

so that's kind of the topic on niches

let's move on here to talk about whether

or not you actually need a website now a

lot of people have asked this question

in the past and I actually get messages

for people all the time on Instagram by

the way if you enjoy this video make

sure you follow me on Instagram I post

all kinds of updates on there and I try

to respond to DM sometimes it can't they

get a little bit overwhelming sometimes

but I get a lot of questions from people

saying I want to do affiliate marketing

where do I get traffic from do I need to

have a website I don't want to make a

youtube channel where do I get this

traffic from so as I stated much earlier

in this video there are two primary

sources for traffic there's free traffic

and there's paid traffic now for the

purpose of this video we're gonna focus

on free traffic and we're focusing on

free traffic because as I stated very

early in this video that there is very

low risk and there's a very little that

can go wrong with free traffic versus

paid traffic for example if you're

running ads on Google or Bing or

Facebook or Instagram we actually do

have videos showing people how to run

ads on Google for example if you want to

go about that route what I would suggest

doing is if you're getting into

affiliate marketing start with the free

traffic route and then eventually you

can start to dip your toes into paid

traffic for affiliate marketing unless

of course you already have a lot of

experience running ads on Google on Bing

on Facebook and you're willing to get

into that right now then you could

certainly go for it but you're gonna

find those obviously slimmer margins

when you're running paid traffic for

example you can actually have your

affiliate link promoted for certain

things like for example

if we type in best Bank right here right

and let's see what comes up for the

advertisements okay now a lot of these

are going to be actual banks but if we

look right here for example products go

banking REITs calm this is actually

almost definitely I've actually never

been on this website before but this is

most definitely an affiliate website see

so they're actually running ads on

Google as an affiliate marketer for

these banks right here every time I

click one of these green buttons boom

they're gonna get probably I'm gonna

guess $100 $200 really depends on the

product but each one of these they're

getting a good chunk of change and

they're doing this as a paid ad now this

looks really really cool because you can

buy traffic and you can make money from

that but as I said earlier I would be

careful with that route there's a lot

slimmer margins there's a lot more room

for error and you're probably gonna want

some deeper pockets because you're gonna

have to have to do a lot of split

testing to see what ads are gonna work

best but once again we have a number of

videos showing people how to run ads if

you're interested in taking that route

maybe a link to some of those videos

down below in the description okay so

what we're focusing on here is free

traffic and people have asked me do I

need to have a website if I want to

become an affiliate marketer now

the short answer is yes the long answer

is not really okay so the short answer

when you aren't actually applying for

affiliate programs which we're gonna get

into in the coming minutes here a lot of

affiliate programs are actually going to

ask you for a link to your website now

this doesn't mean that you have to

necessarily have your own website for

example NATO Brian calm I do actually

own that domain I haven't really fired

it up too much yet but you don't have to

necessarily have your own website but

you're going to want some type of custom

URL or at least some type of page that

you can show to these companies that

you're applying to become part of their

affiliate program so for example what I

do for a lot of the affiliate programs

that I apply for when I put in the

application I will say that my primary

URL is youtube.com slash NATO Brian so

at least it takes them to my homepage on

YouTube and they can see that it is

getting a lot of traffic on that YouTube

channel or for this one here the channel

that you're watching today

media as youtube.com slash sanchow media

if you have an Instagram page it could

be Instagram comm slash your user name

if you have a Facebook group you can

have a custom URL for that as well

so some type of custom URL is generally

helpful to have it's going to get easier

to become approved by affiliate programs

but the biggest thing here is that if

you want to get approved by affiliate

programs you're gonna need a source of

traffic okay so if you're looking for

free traffic there's a couple of options

that are available to you one of them is

blogs blogs are great for generating a

lot of traffic they have extremely high

conversions and look I know it's 2020

but it's still not too late to start a

blog so don't feel like you can't start

one now if anything it's almost the best

time to start a website or a blog now

and trust me I have friends who make a

lot of money from their blog so my

friend Jeff Rose makes about two hundred

and seventy six thousand dollars per

month from his blog I kid you not you

can go and go down that rabbit hole on

your own if you want to but for the

purpose of this video I'm you have to

just believe me on this you can google

this you can do your own research but

I'm telling you that blogs make a lot

more money than what people think I know

personally until just last year I

thought blogs were dead I thought who

the hell reads blogs blogs don't make

any money but the thing is about blogs

is that be links your affiliate link can

be embedded into a blog post and so it

makes it much easier for people to click

on it and much easier and much more

likely for them to actually convert on

those affiliate links of yours and so

that's why the total amount of money

that you're getting from 10,000 blog

visits versus 10,000 youtube visits

you're gonna get a lot more money from

blogs in most cases so I'm actually

gonna show you how to build a website

here in about two minutes but first I

want to show you some other traffic

sources one of them obviously YouTube

it's worked really well for me

personally with my primary youtube

channel with the nato brian channel it's

it's obviously done quite well but a lot

of people don't want to get onto youtube

right they don't want to get in front of

a camera and talk and the only thing

I'll say about that is that first of all

you definitely don't have to there's so

many other routes but I found that it's

actually you get a lot better at

speaking

over a course of time so I was an

absolutely terrible speaker I couldn't

put two sentences together two words

together I was stumbling over my words

I actually took down most of my old

videos when I started about three years

ago on this YouTube channel or on my my

primary youtube channel because they

were absolutely terrible videos I was

like that

I just couldn't talk I couldn't talk and

I wasn't good at it I wasn't natural I'm

naturally an introvert I'm not a people

person but over time I've gotten a

little bit better I like to think that

I'm a little bit better at speaking I

don't script these videos there's no

teleprompter I'm just talking to a

camera here I don't even have any notes

really on this I wrote a couple of

things down but it just becomes much

easier over a period of time so don't be

discouraged if you want to start with

YouTube there's certainly a lot of

traffic in that but some other real gems

for affiliate marketing is actually a

Facebook group Facebook groups are

absolutely killer when it comes to

affiliate marketing if you build a

Facebook group they can grow organically

we've done this in the past but I have

friends who have for example credit card

affiliate groups that are extremely

extremely profitable where they'll have

a a Facebook group that is about credit

cards and then they will put their

credit card affiliate links in the group

which they own so they can pin it to the

top it can pin their posts on the top

they're highly active groups and they

certainly are cash machine so you can

start a Facebook group Instagram pages

I've seen people start Instagram pages

the only problem with Instagram is that

it's harder to do affiliates with

Instagram because you can't just put an

affiliate link in a post but if you have

over 10,000 followers on Instagram you

can have the swipe up feature on your

story so I have that from my personal

Instagram I have a swipe up feature and

that allows me to actually put an

affiliate link in an Instagram post and

I get money for every Instagram swipe up

that I will post to my story on

Instagram so that's certainly about as

well but then there's other some some

really other interesting ones as well

like discord groups or reddit even now

some people just kind of go around and

we call these sort of like little

salesman warriors where they'll go

around and they're like answer of

questions and forums and then put their

affiliate link in there that's just too

time-consuming I don't think it's really

much worth it so if you're going

like Quora and you're putting your

affiliate link when when somebody asked

a question of like what's the best VPN

and you just put your affiliate link

there and try to get them to click on

your link I don't know how much of an

effect that would really have I think

there's better ways to do it than just

kind of going out and responding to

comments pushing your affiliate link and

another one too is email marketing which

is kind of sort of like a secondary to

any other traffic source so it's hard to

just build an email list organically but

for example if you have a youtube

channel or you have a blog or you have

an Instagram or any other thing and you

collect emails and then you can hit

people with emails with affiliate

marketing you can hit them with products

where I will go to my email list of

nearly a hundred thousand now and I'll

send an email every once and again and

I'll say hey this big product blah blah

blah blah blah it's a good product I use

it myself I actually like it

and click the link right here and I'll

get money from all of those emails as

well so there's so many options out

there we actually have a lot of videos

on those topics if you're interested all

right so let's now talk about how you're

actually finding these of failure

programs how do you find products to

actually promote there's a couple ways

to do this as I said there most

companies have affiliate programs and so

one of the ways you can do this is what

I just showed you with Nord VPN is go

down to the bottom of the page and

you'll probably find an affiliate thing

on a website if you don't see it there

you could also just google it that's

usually what I do or what you can do is

you can look at a couple of these

different affiliate programs I would

join these affiliate networks there's

some of the best they're not paying me

to say this they're actually just some

of the best ones that I use myself on

the daily for both of my businesses here

but one one that I want to show you here

first of all we just have to discuss it

because it's one that is sort of this

rite of passage for everybody with

affiliate marketing and that's Amazon

Associates the reason for this is

because you can promote anything on

Amazon and get a commission get a piece

of the pie from anything in everything

that people buy on Amazon so I'll give

you an example here a lot of people ask

about my camera they say mate what

camera do you use and if I leave a link

for it I might as well leave the link

for it down below in this video if you

want to start a youtube channel to start

with the failure marketing if I leave a

link for this camera down below in the

description somebody buys that camera

for eighteen hundred dollars and for two

thousand dollars let's say they buy it

for $2,000 I get a four percent

commission on that cam

and so that is $2,000 times 4% which is

gonna be about $80 in my pocket for

somebody clicking my link in buying the

camera now if we scroll down here we're

on affiliate - programmed amazon.com you

can just google this to find it we can

actually look at their advertising fees

to see how much money you would be

getting for promoting products on Amazon

now the cookie lengths it's it's what we

call cookies or essentially how long

your link is going to be active or

tracked for example if somebody clicks

on my Amazon affiliate link for the

camera down below in the description and

if they buy anything in everything on

Amazon in the next 24 hours whatever

they buy it doesn't matter if they buy

the actual camera that I link to or if

they buy something totally different

I've had people buy all kinds of weird

things with my links but let's say that

they click in my link to buy a camera

with my Amazon link and then they don't

actually buy the camera they say I don't

actually want the camera but the next

morning they wake up it's still within

that 24 hour period of after they

clicked my link and they decide to buy a

couch this has happened to me many times

in past they know they decided to buy a

couch or a sofa on Amazon they pay a

thousand dollars for the couch well if

we look at the chart here Furniture is

an eight percent commission on Amazon so

if they pay a thousand dollars for a

couch I'm gonna get eighty dollars for

them buying a couch for a camera that I

linked to the day before it's really

kind of bizarre but this is how it works

and it's it's pretty cool and so Amazon

I had to throw it in here because it is

sort of a rite of passage but the

problem with it is that even if you're

selling account for a thousand dollars

and I get $80 in my pocket it's still

not that much money because the truth is

most Amazon links you're gonna get like

50 cents for everything that people buy

I'd link out to a lot of books in my

videos on these videos we talked about

you know the best book read the 4-hour

workweek for example somebody buys that

book I'll get like 50 cents in my pocket

from an amazon link so it's really not

that much money and there are better

options out there besides just Amazon so

let me actually take you over to this

tab here which is actually going to be

CJ so this is Commission Junction I

believe they just call it CJ now I think

they just drop the whole Commission

Junction thing but CJ calm once again if

they're not paying me to say this this

is just something that I use quite a bit

and so this is actually the account for

for this channel that you're watching

here we don't have a lot of affiliates

on here but as you can see in the past

week 680 bucks from just you know from a

couple of products that we've been

promoting and I'll click refresh you're

like I'm not I'm not making this up guys

you know I've been doing this for years

here and it took a while to build this

up I've extremely slow internet here but

once it loads you'll see the key here is

is not to just show you like what we're

making here I guess we made fifty

dollars yesterday from one sale of a

product I'm gonna assume that's probably

a VPN service we can go through and

actually find out what it was but we're

gonna go up to this tab up here and

click on advertisers so sign up for an

account for CJ after this video and you

can just start to explore different

advertisers that are out there that you

can start with and so once this loads

we'll see so many different options for

companies that we can promote and a lot

of them what's really cool about

companies like CJ a lot of these

companies on here are big companies that

you've heard of like Nike or adidas or

or some of your favorite streaming

services potentially Hulu I don't think

who's actually on here but just a lot of

big names for example you probably see a

lot of these that you recognize like

23andme

right you probably recognize most of

these brands here or a good portion of

these brands and what we can do is we

can go up here and we can actually sort

by category and let's say that we are

promoting something in education let's

say that we go for for for education for

college let's say that we're a college

student and we want to promote certain

educational products to college students

let's see what comes up here so look the

economy the economists test prep

we have test prep things Petersons right

we have a lot of different options here

let's say that we are going to promote

this one right here we click on it we

read the terms and then we join the

program you're going to see what types

of things that you're gonna get so what

it looks like is you're gonna get a 15%

Commission for monthly orders totaling

$2,500 or less and then an 18%

Commission for orders over $2,500 and

it's so for example if you want to

promote access to this GMAT a tutor or

for the GRE people who are going into

for their masters I think I don't even

know I don't even graduate college but

there's one of them saying here is that

there's a market for pretty much

anything that you could

and if you're promoting books you're

promoting beauty products you're

promoting automotive stuff you're

promoting financial services there's

something for everybody here and this is

really what is so cool about this and

guys I honestly just get too excited

about this but for example Ally invest

we want to promote Ally for banking or

whatever it might be we click join

program and we can get started with that

and then what's gonna happen here is

you're either gonna get an affiliate

link right away right off the bat

they're just gonna give you an affiliate

link or you're gonna have to click join

program apply for it they're gonna get

back to you in a couple days and tell

you yes you've been accepted to the

program or no you have not been accepted

to the program so I wanted to show you

that but let me just take you over to

this one as well which is impact AUV

called impact radius I think they just

like CJ they shortened their name to

just impact comm this is another one

that I was suggest signing up for very

similar to CJ when it have a ton of

different businesses on there a lot of

which you are familiar with so if you're

looking for products to promote I would

suggest opening up accounts and then

just scrolling through these and seeing

what you can promote saying this would

be a perfect match for my audience this

would be a perfect match for my website

a perfect match for my youtube channel

and so that is really really what I

wanted to show you here so what I'm

gonna do now is I'm actually gonna walk

you through how to set up a website

because I think this is probably the

best most important thing to do sort of

this sort of mothership this big thing

that you can drive all of your traffic

from any other source from facebook from

social media from YouTube from anything

else from from paid advertising and

really funnel it back to your website

which is going to be your cash cow so

let me show you how to do that in the

coming minutes here I think it's gonna

be really really exciting all right so

to build this website you can just go to

site ground comm slash go slash central

click enter I'm gonna leave a link for

it down below it is in philly a link

because we're talking about affiliate

marketing but if you want to find the

best web hope web hosting services we

have a lot of different options

available to us you'll see site ground

Bluehost Hostgator there are so many

different companies out there that offer

web hosting essentially what this means

is that unless you're gonna have a

server in your house not to get too

technical but unless you have a server

in your house you're gonna have to pay

somebody to host your website it's not

free you're gonna have to host it

somewhere and so there's a cup

of different options that are available

to you now right now looks like they're

running some type of a little bonus

thing here that you can get three months

for a $0.99 I don't know if this is

gonna be around for a long time so I'm

not quite sure I think this I usually

don't see it at for $0.99 for three

months so what I'm gonna try to do is

I'm trying to get you guys the best

price I'll try to get you guys a

discount and I'll leave that link down

below if possible so what I'm gonna do

is click on web hosting and you're gonna

see a few different options available

now if you are planning on running a

site that is relatively large you're

trying to get a hundred thousand visits

or a month per month or more then you

can go with something like the go geek

option it's obviously up to you right

now they're running a crazy promotion of

for 33 cents a month for the base plan

I've never seen it that cheap I think

they're just doing this because of the

current outbreak is you can read on the

screen here this serious challenge to

help more people get online they're

offering this three months for only 99

cents that's that's probably not going

to stay for a long period of time so if

you're watching this video because I've

never seen it that cheap it's probably

gonna be more like 495 per month or more

for the startup option but because we

want to have all these other features

we're gonna go with the go geek feature

for this video so we're gonna click get

plan and we're gonna go through a

process now of registering a domain and

then setting up our website I'm gonna

walk you through every step of the

process because this video is a full

tutorial showing you how to get started

with this and once at the end of this

video you're really going to be in a

solid position to hit the ground running

to really get going and to start pulling

in money immediately or within the next

24 to 72 hours building websites can

take a little bit of time I'm gonna show

you some of the best tactics for that we

actually have a lot of videos on these

topics on this channel so if you want to

delve into those you certainly can I'm

gonna go with the Nate O'Brien show here

then you know Bryan show.com because I'm

probably starting a podcast at some time

in the future so I figured I'll just

grab this domain as far as the the

ending here you can have calm you can

org I would suggest going with dot-com I

think people get a little bit sketched

out when they see that online or dot

blog or Don Academy they just look kind

of weird I know whenever I'm on a site

that's not a dot-com

or a.net or a.org I get a little bit

weird about it and I'm less likely to

click on it and so from an SEO

perspective from a search engine

optimization perspective com is probably

the best route to go so it's only 1595

per year for this if we already have a

domain we can just click here and it'll

take us through a process of

transferring that domain but for this

we're gonna click proceed now what's

gonna come up next is going to be the

the form that we're gonna fill out to

actually go through the process of

buying it I want to scroll down though

and we'll look over a couple of

different options and kind of upsells

that they're gonna try to hit you with

pretty much all web hosting services do

this if you're trying to start a website

so what I would do first of all the

12-month one is fine you can go for 36

but you're not gonna get that much of a

better discount so a 12 month is just

fine

what you're going to want to click

though is domain privacy this is so that

it's going to give you a lot of privacy

so that all of your personal information

is not available out there there's

something called the Whois registry and

so this is going to protect your

information so you know like random

people showing up to your house every

almost everybody clicks domain privacy

to have this it's only an extra $12 a

year one dollar a month so it's

certainly worth it for that the

SiteGround site scanner if you want this

you can I do have this on my website but

for the purpose of this video we're

probably not gonna go for it right now

for this so we will skip over that and

then we'll click confirm on both of

these all right so once we've done all

that then we can just click pay now and

then it'll take us to this next page and

this is where it gets really interesting

really fun but very important to pay

close attention to what's going on here

all right so we just went through the

process now we just have to click

proceed to a customer area and this is

how we can actually start to build our

website now what's great about this look

it's not as complicated as what a lot of

people would assume and I'm gonna be

honest when I first started building

websites I was thinking that you need to

be some type of coding you have to know

all types of different coding languages

the truth is you don't have to do any of

that you can just know none of that and

still build a pretty good website now if

there's any coders out there I know

there's a still a lot of is like serious

importance for that but

to build a basic website and start

getting traffic you don't need to have

any necessary skills in order to do this

and I'm gonna show you exactly how to

set this up so what we're gonna do is

we're going to click over here on

websites and we're gonna start building

our site here so we have Nate O'Brien

show com

I don't know what I'm actually gonna do

with this domain but we're just going to

kind of go with it and so we're gonna

click complete here and I'm going to go

through the process of actually starting

a new website so we're gonna click

select this and then we have options for

how we are going to build this site now

I'm gonna tell you this most web sites

the biggest web sites in the world a lot

of them almost all of them are built

using WordPress this is essentially the

go-to there's other ones as well you can

see you can use WooCommerce with

WordPress or you can use Weebly or

there's other website builders as well I

think what we'll do actually is if you

want to build a website but you don't

wanna go through this process I'll leave

a link to Wix the Wix website builder

potentially Squarespace you've probably

seen their ads everywhere you can build

websites on those as well although if

you're really trying to build a massive

site that can net a lot of affiliate

revenues your best bet from my personal

opinion is still gonna be through

WordPress so we can click select on this

and then we can actually set up our

WordPress login and our password with

this so let me just go through this

process very quickly and then I'm gonna

click continue here

alright so now at this point we are

going to add domain privacy go through

the process of paying for domain privacy

all right so now they are creating our

site it might take just a little bit of

time to get set up but once this gets

set up you will have your live website

and you can go into a separate tab and

type in your website domain and look it

up and you're gonna see your website

it's gonna look pretty bad at first but

there's actually a couple things we

could do to really really make it look

very good and very very quickly and then

to start creating articles or start to

put your YouTube videos in there and

start to really build this up and start

to rank for search and other terms that

we can really start to get so our site

creation is taking longer than usual

probably because there's like five

people streaming on this Wi-Fi right now

at the same time so give me a second and

then we'll get back to this alright so

it looks like it went through we have to

click web sites again and

we can press on WordPress kit right here

so we're on websites we go over to

WordPress kit

we click on it I go to WordPress admin

logs us in here and this is going to be

how we're gonna get started here so and

so this is our WordPress page let me

just log in very quickly and then we'll

finally get to our website okay so here

is our site they're gonna try to get us

through some WordPress starter thing

scroll down and click exit you don't

have to go through that unless you truly

want to but there's a faster way to kind

of go through this process this here is

our dashboard through SiteGround for our

website so if we click on View site

right here this is this is natal Brian

show com this is what it looks like this

is just another WordPress website we're

gonna modify this quite a bit I'm gonna

show you how to do this and how to

really clean this up very quickly to

start pumping out content on something

like this and start to literally start

printing money with this so what we can

do is we can manage pages we can add

pages on here so let's say that I want

to make a page that's going to be let's

say I want to make one about finance

right let's say that I want to make one

a page titled so let's say that I want

to make a page titled for perhaps best

bank accounts right so bank accounts or

credit cards perhaps right and then so

we can make new pages here publish that

and we can start to start building pages

on here to start building out our

website and you can see just how quickly

we can actually go through this process

I mean at this point the amount of

websites that I've built in the past

just two years here I could probably

pump out like 10 websites in a day just

basic websites basic skeletons of

websites but enough to get started here

to really really get the ball rolling so

let's say that another one we want to do

credit card reviews right so a lot of

money and credit card reviews and so

we're gonna make a page about credit

cards and then publish that and then

we'll kind of build out our pages and

then if we want to change our themes if

we want to change the appearance here we

can add some plugins for example so if

we go to plugins here or if we go to

Elementor I'll leave a link for

Elementor down below

this is something that is a great way to

build your website trust me on this that

if you go to Elementor this is one of

the best ways to actually start building

a website it makes it super easy super

easy to drag-and-drop things and as you

can see here on the screen so I will

even link to that down below it's going

to be the fastest way to really kind of

edit your website but if you want to

install more plugins here you can

certainly do that we can remove both of

these we can deactivate SiteGround

optimizer and we can deactivate the

wordpress starter as well but then we

can add new plugins if we click add a

new plug-in here hopefully not going too

fast I think what we're gonna do is I'm

actually going to hopefully going to

make some more in-depth through

tutorials on how to actually start

websites how to build out websites how

to really go through this process to

create beautiful sites and we'll

probably do that in a separate video but

I wanted to give you guys like the

basics of getting started with this so a

lot of these I would suggest downloading

like Yoast SEO you're gonna go down some

rabbit holes luckily we are gonna have

you guys comfort for most of this so for

the types of plugins to install going

over your settings looking at your

settings making sure that everything

looks correct on there and yeah it's

it's it's gonna be certainly a process

if you click on permalinks here if you

click on permalinks and you look at what

you are your your settings are going to

be for that you want post name is

probably the best bet so that you're not

gonna have a bunch of links on your

website that looks like a bunch of

random hieroglyphics just numbers and

stuff so look I want to leave you guys

with that for the website you can go

down that that rabbit hole and venture

into websites but as far as traffic goes

yes I think a web site is the best thing

to funnel things back to because that's

going to behind the highest conversion

rate by far compared to any other things

the biggest thing to is building some

type of brand rather than just kind of

going out there and being a Salesman

that's why for my primary youtube

channel which a lot of that my affiliate

revenue comes from my primary youtube

channel I build this brand of it's me I

talk to my viewers like they're my

friends and once again as I said earlier

in the video I only promote products

that I actually like but because they

trust me because my viewers trust me I

actually get higher conversion rates

because they know that any products I'm

promoting that I'm telling them that

there's an affiliate link below they

know that I'm not

promoting a bad product cuz I've made it

very clear that I only promote good

products that I actually use myself and

so it gives you a higher level of

integrity which actually in most cases

actually gets better conversion rates so

build a brand whether it's your personal

brand or whether it is your own website

or your own business come up with a

brand register your business in your

state in your country but I don't have

to do potentially get some trademarks

this is a great route to go we have so

many other affiliate marketing videos on

this channel as well alright so I think

that wraps up this video thanks for

watching if you found any value make

sure you drop a like and preach I would

appreciate all the support subscribe to

the channel if you haven't done so

already thank you for making this far in

the video I hope you really did find

some value in it once again all this

content is free we put as much free

content as possible on this channel so

thank you and I'll see everybody in next
