When it comes to affiliate marketing today, this is an actual business model, and there's a major problem on YouTube and TikTok when you search for affiliate marketing advice. If you search for it and start scrolling through, you find that it's all low-value tactics about spamming people with links using ClickBank, trying these shady courses, intriguing Instagram traffic or Pinterest links. These things where you're sending Facebook posts to your family to make money, it's really targeting the low value, easy, simple but not sustainable ways of affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is an actual business model. Some major blogs, YouTubers, and huge sites use affiliate marketing, but first, we must realize that affiliate marketing is not necessarily easy. It's not a thing you can do in a week and post a link; there's a secret formula where you start making money.
Affiliate marketing is a business model; the truth is you are getting links and clicks via your affiliate links. So, to get clicks to links, you need volume, ongoing, evergreen clicks to your affiliate links. You don't want to be spamming your family weekly on Facebook or constantly posting on Instagram, trying to get scraped by with pennies. You want to make thousands of dollars monthly with affiliate marketing, so you need an ongoing evergreen audience.
When we think about the world today, in the 2020s, where is the world's online audience? Where are people searching for information? YouTube and Google. If I were to bet on two of these companies in web 2.0, there would always be here: Google and YouTube. So, that is where all the affiliate money is made. The hardest part of affiliate marketing is actually getting your initial audience. These are the two types of keywords you can go after and two types of videos you can go after, but really the simplest format is these best transactional posts.
If you go to https://youtube.com, for example, and type best VPN, you will see different VPN affiliates. Click a random one, go to the description area, and see various affiliate links. So, in these types of best roundups, either videos or blog posts, they will review and recommend multiple companies, have various affiliate links, and there are discounts here, but this is a volume game. The same idea applied to Google. The best category list post gets consistent, ongoing traffic via Google and YouTube.
This is not a scam of ClickBank, posting links here and going to forums and adding them to Instagram, TikTok and all those things. There are two ways to do it, YouTube and Google and the best way to do that are with the best transactional list posts. So, that's the unfortunate hard truth about affiliate marketing. You need ongoing and consistent clicks on your affiliate links. The interesting way to do that is by either starting a YouTube channel or a blog to get traffic and clicks from either YouTube or Google.
Here's the good news when it comes to affiliate marketing. The easiest part is joining these programs and getting affiliate links. So, here's an example, you search on Google for ExpressVPN https://www.expressvpn.com/. Another one is ShareASale https://www.shareasale.com/info/ affiliate program, and you will see their affiliate program signup tab or link and follow the on-screen instructions.
To get approved:
Try to talk to somebody at the company if you're starting, email them, and tell them you found their information on LinkedIn. I am just starting this website. There's a lot of potential here. I'd love to promote you, and they probably will still approve you for the program. So, those are ways to get approved when filling out affiliate signup forms.
Join the programs and add a little bit of your information. It's always good to add information about how you plan to promote the affiliate program from the beginning. So, you would say you have over five hundred thousand monthly readers at http://gtkforum.com here are the two to three articles that I'm going to promote you guys in. I look forward to hearing back from you. Something simple like that but giving some context and background is essential, and if you're starting and you don't have any traffic yet, you can still say I'm just starting. I'm growing this personal brand. You can do it that way.
So, those are the easy parts.
The secret formula is actually getting traffic. How do you get hundreds of thousands of people to click on them? That's with traffic. So, you need a content plan to get consistent clicks on your affiliate links, either on your YouTube channel or on your blog.
A content plan that's not going to take up too much of your time. Moreove, here are a couple of examples of that. You can use a tool like Jarvis that's hooked up with surfer SEO https://surferseo.com/ to write an article about the best VPNs, and you can see that when you start typing, AI writing tools can help speed up this process for you, and you can create these monetizable affiliate list posts pretty quickly.
So, you can type something like "when choosing the best VPN service" put a comma and hit compose to see what the AI writing tool comes up with. There are many features to consider. Price and security are all important, but the best VPN service provider-specific to your niche. Here's a list of the seven best VPN services of 2022 ranked in order from the best tour. It starts writing, and then you can keep going and just say, hey, compose more.
So, these AI writing tools, along with SEO scores on the side, would tell you exactly what keywords to put in these articles are very helpful in creating and optimizing blog posts that rank on search engines and get consistent traffic.
The other one is YouTube, which is a bit tougher because unless you're not going to outsource everything to another person, trust them on camera and give them laser-sharp outlines and precisely what to cover. You are going to do YouTube yourself, get the equipment, lighting, the microphones and go into the screen recording software if you are going to review things, maybe the product if you're reviewing.
So, that is with an outline. Just write down the script to follow when recording. It is nice to use a tool like vidIQ https://vidiq.com/ which you can find exactly what keywords to go after so, for example, you can look at the dashboard and search for the best VPN, and it gives you different scores based on opportunity, the competition, search volume on YouTube and all these other things.
So, with YouTube and blogging, you have to create a consistent content plan based on keyword research, content assembly either in YouTube video format or blog post format and create a structure and a content plan around that.
The five simple steps to get started with affiliate marketing.
