startTime	durationTime	text
00:00:00	00:00:04	this year i crossed the three million
00:00:02	00:00:06	dollar mark with a single affiliate
00:00:04	00:00:08	program in my business
00:00:06	00:00:09	and i am dead serious that i am still
00:00:08	00:00:11	pinching myself
00:00:09	00:00:13	trying to believe if it's real or not
00:00:11	00:00:15	because five years ago
00:00:13	00:00:17	i did not know affiliate marketing
00:00:15	00:00:18	existed i could not have told you what
00:00:17	00:00:20	the word even meant
00:00:18	00:00:21	and i can still remember when i first
00:00:20	00:00:23	heard about the word it was it was
00:00:21	00:00:24	actually at my current job i heard about
00:00:23	00:00:26	the word affiliate marketing
00:00:24	00:00:28	and and the concept was so easy it was
00:00:26	00:00:29	hey you just gotta put some content on
00:00:28	00:00:31	the internet
00:00:29	00:00:33	throw some links in that content and
00:00:31	00:00:34	money will come into your bank account
00:00:33	00:00:37	it's three steps
00:00:34	00:00:38	and then i was like that is for me we
00:00:37	00:00:40	had just found out that we were
00:00:38	00:00:42	pregnant with our first child and my
00:00:40	00:00:43	wife was planning on quitting her job
00:00:42	00:00:46	and
00:00:43	00:00:47	me who is terrible at math you know
00:00:46	00:00:49	i could figure that out i could figure
00:00:47	00:00:52	out that when you cut your income
00:00:49	00:00:54	in half and you double your expenses
00:00:52	00:00:55	math doesn't necessarily make sense at
00:00:54	00:00:57	that point
00:00:55	00:00:58	and i wanted to spend some time with my
00:00:57	00:01:01	daughter i mean who wouldn't want to
00:00:58	00:01:02	spend time with them
00:01:01	00:01:04	okay that was a shameless plug i know
00:01:02	00:01:05	i'm sorry but she did turn out really
00:01:04	00:01:07	cute
00:01:05	00:01:08	and so i i started looking around i'm
00:01:07	00:01:10	like i've got to create content i've got
00:01:08	00:01:12	a blog i've gotta
00:01:10	00:01:13	you know make videos i do all this stuff
00:01:12	00:01:14	and uh we didn't have a place in the
00:01:13	00:01:17	house to do it
00:01:14	00:01:17	so uh every single day after my regular
00:01:17	00:01:20	job
00:01:17	00:01:21	i would go down this ladder into this
00:01:20	00:01:22	weird
00:01:21	00:01:24	weird crawl space that was beneath our
00:01:22	00:01:26	house i've never seen a house that has a
00:01:24	00:01:28	10 foot crawl space but we did
00:01:26	00:01:30	and i crawled down there and as i set up
00:01:28	00:01:31	this little desk in the dirt down there
00:01:30	00:01:32	in this little backdrop and stuff like
00:01:31	00:01:34	that
00:01:32	00:01:36	and i'd pump out content okay mostly i'd
00:01:34	00:01:37	be building this blog which was kind of
00:01:36	00:01:39	a plan for me
00:01:37	00:01:40	and you can see you can see the blog
00:01:39	00:01:42	here on the screen but i worked for
00:01:40	00:01:44	eight months on that block i worked down
00:01:42	00:01:44	in that dungeon basically for eight
00:01:44	00:01:47	months
00:01:44	00:01:49	until winter struck and i realized that
00:01:47	00:01:51	it was not insulated and
00:01:49	00:01:53	i was uh you know i was actually sitting
00:01:51	00:01:54	there like 55 degrees working at one
00:01:53	00:01:56	point realized my fingers couldn't
00:01:54	00:01:57	type in that temperature anymore and so
00:01:56	00:01:58	i had to move somewhere else in the
00:01:57	00:02:00	house but
00:01:58	00:02:01	but for eight months that's where i
00:02:00	00:02:02	worked and at the end of that eight
00:02:01	00:02:05	months
00:02:02	00:02:07	i looked at this blog and i was making
00:02:05	00:02:08	twenty dollars a month off it actually
00:02:07	00:02:09	was probably closer to a year i was
00:02:08	00:02:11	making
00:02:09	00:02:13	20 a month off this blog now here's
00:02:11	00:02:15	where it honestly got
00:02:13	00:02:17	juicy this is where things went crazy
00:02:15	00:02:19	and my life changed and it was an
00:02:17	00:02:19	accident like my first commission my
00:02:19	00:02:21	first
00:02:19	00:02:23	money on the internet was a complete
00:02:21	00:02:24	accident
00:02:23	00:02:26	i'm out there and i'm putting out
00:02:24	00:02:28	content on this blog right i'm failing
00:02:26	00:02:30	on the blog front
00:02:28	00:02:31	so i'm out there doing this and i think
00:02:30	00:02:33	i need to lead me you know i some
00:02:31	00:02:34	i probably watched a youtube video like
00:02:33	00:02:35	this one i was like i've got to get an
00:02:34	00:02:36	email list like
00:02:35	00:02:38	uh that's that's the key with flea
00:02:36	00:02:39	market i've got to build an email list i
00:02:38	00:02:40	need a lead magnet

00:02:47	00:02:51	webcam and i film this little video
00:02:49	00:02:52	there are three videos actually and i'm
00:02:51	00:02:54	like i'm gonna host them on youtube and

00:02:54	00:02:58	there's my lead magnet i've got it done
00:02:56	00:03:00	and it was months
00:02:58	00:03:01	before i went back and and came to
00:03:00	00:03:04	realize

00:03:04	00:03:06	videos that i uploaded as my you know my
00:03:05	00:03:10	beginner

00:03:34	00:03:40	thumbnail but for whatever reason
00:03:37	00:03:41	it blew up youtube and if you look back
00:03:40	00:03:44	at that video today
00:03:41	00:03:45	it's still the most watched youtube
00:03:44	00:03:48	video i've
00:03:45	00:03:50	ever put out across two channels at its
00:03:48	00:03:53	peak this video right here

00:04:03	00:04:08	of that just revenue from the youtube
00:04:06	00:04:09	ads that are playing on that video
00:04:08	00:04:12	as time went on i kind of came to
00:04:09	00:04:14	realize just how lucky i was on that
00:04:12	00:04:15	first piece of content like i mean you
00:04:14	00:04:18	can see
00:04:15	00:04:19	holy cow what was youtube thinking and
00:04:18	00:04:20	as time went on i learned the other
00:04:19	00:04:22	stuff right i've learned
00:04:20	00:04:23	how to um you know how to create
00:04:22	00:04:24	thumbnails that people actually want to
00:04:23	00:04:26	click i learned how to create a
00:04:24	00:04:28	community that people want to join and
00:04:26	00:04:29	i'm able to turn that that content
00:04:28	00:04:31	machine that i spent years kind of
00:04:29	00:04:33	figuring out and tweaking onto click
00:04:31	00:04:36	funnels and on to this uh
00:04:33	00:04:38	this affiliate program and within within
00:04:36	00:04:39	six months i had my first 50 affiliate
00:04:38	00:04:41	sign-ups you can see right here
00:04:39	00:04:43	less than six months after that i had
00:04:41	00:04:44	achieved 100 which is winning the click
00:04:43	00:04:46	funnels dream car
00:04:44	00:04:48	you can see the choice i made right here
00:04:46	00:04:50	and uh you along with
00:04:48	00:04:51	millions of others can be disappointed
00:04:50	00:04:54	in my choice that's okay
00:04:51	00:04:56	and now today i've got more than 200
00:04:54	00:04:58	youtube videos out there
00:04:56	00:04:59	and hundreds and hundreds of blog posts
00:04:58	00:05:02	and and basically an
00:04:59	00:05:03	army of digital assets you hear about
00:05:02	00:05:05	these like rich investors that have got
00:05:03	00:05:06	money in stoks and money and bonds and
00:05:05	00:05:08	money and
00:05:06	00:05:09	bitcoin and money in real estate and all
00:05:08	00:05:10	these different avenues are bringing
00:05:09	00:05:12	them in
00:05:10	00:05:13	money every day right you're like well
00:05:12	00:05:15	yeah but you had five
00:05:13	00:05:17	million dollars to start in order to
00:05:15	00:05:18	make that all work right you had to have
00:05:17	00:05:20	a ton of money
00:05:18	00:05:21	and this is the same concept except you
00:05:20	00:05:22	don't have to have a ton of money to
00:05:21	00:05:24	start
00:05:22	00:05:26	you just have to have time okay and you
00:05:24	00:05:28	can turn it into a
00:05:26	00:05:30	vast digital empire of passive income
00:05:28	00:05:32	because i am so far from a marketing
00:05:30	00:05:34	genius i'm not disciplined i
00:05:32	00:05:35	you know i'm not a genius i barely know
00:05:34	00:05:37	what i'm doing half the time
00:05:35	00:05:39	it's just been bit by bit figuring it
00:05:37	00:05:41	out and if i can figure this out
00:05:39	00:05:43	there really isn't anyone out there that
00:05:41	00:05:45	cannot figure this out
00:05:43	00:05:47	affiliate marketing is hands down the
00:05:45	00:05:49	best place for beginners to go to get
00:05:47	00:05:50	their feet wet in online marketing
00:05:49	00:05:52	and especially if they want to
00:05:50	00:05:54	eventually kind of tweak that into a
00:05:52	00:05:57	passive income model
00:05:54	00:05:58	and this channel is the best channel if
00:05:57	00:06:01	you want to learn affiliate marketing
