00:00:00	00:00:03	have you ever pushed a boulder off of a
00:00:01	00:00:05	hill before in the beginning
00:00:03	00:00:07	it's very very hard you're pushing and
00:00:05	00:00:08	pushing and the boulder is barely moving
00:00:07	00:00:09	but as soon as you get to the edge of
00:00:08	00:00:10	that hill
00:00:09	00:00:12	and gravity starts to take over the
00:00:10	00:00:14	boulder starts to move faster
00:00:12	00:00:16	and faster and faster until it gets to
00:00:14	00:00:17	the point where it feels like you're
00:00:16	00:00:19	chasing the boulder that's very similar
00:00:17	00:00:20	to most people's affiliate marketing
00:00:19	00:00:22	stories where we work and work and work
00:00:20	00:00:23	to get a few commissions but then once
00:00:22	00:00:24	we get the ball rolling
00:00:23	00:00:26	it actually starts to feel like we're
00:00:24	00:00:30	chasing our business and just
00:00:26	00:00:31	trying to keep up so i wanna show you my
00:00:30	00:00:33	affiliate marketing journey from zero to
00:00:31	00:00:35	ten thousand how i made my very first
00:00:33	00:00:36	ten thousand dollars as an affiliate
00:00:35	00:00:38	marketer and first we need to give you a
00:00:36	00:00:40	disclaimer and that's that this isn't
00:00:38	00:00:42	gonna be a sob story video where i tell
00:00:40	00:00:43	you all the hardships that i overcame in
00:00:42	00:00:45	order to make it to where i am today
00:00:43	00:00:47	once upon a time instead this is very
00:00:45	00:00:48	educational so we're just going to focus
00:00:47	00:00:49	on the things that i did
00:00:48	00:00:51	right so it's very important that you
00:00:49	00:00:52	know that in between each of the things
00:00:51	00:00:53	that we're going to tok about in this
00:00:52	00:00:55	video i made
00:00:53	00:00:56	probably hundreds of mistakes we're not
00:00:55	00:00:58	going to tok about those mistakes i've
00:00:56	00:00:59	got other videos where we focus on that
00:00:58	00:01:01	now the first good choice that i made
00:00:59	00:01:03	going from zero to ten thousand dollars
00:01:01	00:01:05	is timeliness
00:01:03	00:01:06	okay what i mean by this is choosing
00:01:05	00:01:08	something that's just
00:01:06	00:01:09	starting to take off so a lot of times
00:01:08	00:01:11	we come into affiliate marketing and we
00:01:09	00:01:13	try to hop on a trend that's been going
00:01:11	00:01:15	for years and years and years and it's
00:01:13	00:01:16	much harder to get in on those trends so
00:01:15	00:01:20	please take note of this
00:01:16	00:01:21	the best way as a new nobody to explode
00:01:20	00:01:23	in the affiliate marketing game
00:01:21	00:01:25	is to jump on a trend that is just
00:01:23	00:01:27	barely starting to take off
00:01:25	00:01:29	don't worry you're not a nobody to me
00:01:27	00:01:30	you're my guy
00:01:29	00:01:32	now i did not do this on purpose in the
00:01:30	00:01:34	beginning but i got lucky the niche that
00:01:32	00:01:36	i chose and the direction that i chose
00:01:34	00:01:38	just happened to be something that was
00:01:36	00:01:40	on the cusp of exploding so this was
00:01:38	00:01:41	back in the beginning of 2017
00:01:40	00:01:44	and i'm wondering how many of you guys
00:01:41	00:01:46	knew about bitcoin in 2017.
00:01:44	00:01:47	don't worry this is not a bitcoin video
00:01:46	00:01:49	but let me know down below how many of
00:01:47	00:01:50	you guys had actually heard of bitcoin
00:01:49	00:01:53	that maybe were actively investing in
00:01:50	00:01:54	in 2017 and i bet a vast majority of
00:01:53	00:01:56	people watching this video
00:01:54	00:01:57	had not yet heard of this tiknology
00:01:56	00:01:59	even though everyone's heard of it now
00:01:57	00:02:00	so by being one of the first people to
00:01:59	00:02:01	recognize that this was an up-and-coming
00:02:00	00:02:04	trend that was going to
00:02:01	00:02:05	hit and have a lot of people looking for
00:02:04	00:02:07	it i was putting out content
00:02:05	00:02:09	before a lot of people were looking for
00:02:07	00:02:12	this stuff my first video that did well
00:02:09	00:02:12	was how to buy bitcoin okay but i put it
00:02:12	00:02:14	out before
00:02:12	00:02:16	everybody was looking for how to buy
00:02:14	00:02:17	bitcoin and everybody was making content
00:02:16	00:02:18	on how to buy bitcoin and you can see
00:02:17	00:02:19	right here
00:02:18	00:02:21	didn't get a ton of views in the
00:02:19	00:02:22	beginning you know 14 11 50 kind of an
00:02:21	00:02:23	average number of views
00:02:22	00:02:25	for a youtube video but you can see
00:02:23	00:02:26	after about five or six months
00:02:25	00:02:28	that video started to blow up we're
00:02:26	00:02:30	getting hundreds of views we're getting
00:02:28	00:02:32	thousands of views we're getting up to
00:02:30	00:02:34	9 000 views on a good day once this
00:02:32	00:02:36	video blew up and the reason it was able
00:02:34	00:02:38	to blow up is because i jumped on when i
00:02:36	00:02:39	was a new marketer with no experience
00:02:38	00:02:41	and no audience and
00:02:39	00:02:43	no way to really compete with the big
00:02:41	00:02:44	guys i was able to recognize a trend
00:02:43	00:02:46	before the big guys were able to
00:02:44	00:02:48	recognize that trend and that gave me
00:02:46	00:02:50	first mover advantage now the best way
00:02:48	00:02:51	to start to see what's trending and
00:02:50	00:02:52	what's up and coming
00:02:51	00:02:54	is using google and there's two ways you
00:02:52	00:02:56	can use google one is just
00:02:54	00:02:58	using google news literally you'll type
00:02:56	00:02:58	in google news into google.com and it'll
00:02:58	00:03:00	take you to
00:02:58	00:03:01	headlines right here and you can start
00:03:00	00:03:03	looking through things and you'll start
00:03:01	00:03:04	to notike trends right and i notiked
00:03:03	00:03:05	that bitcoin was starting to get written
00:03:04	00:03:06	about more
00:03:05	00:03:07	and more and i was seeing it more and
00:03:06	00:03:09	more and all the financial stuff that i
00:03:07	00:03:10	was looking at but another good way
00:03:09	00:03:11	right now that i wasn't aware of at the
00:03:10	00:03:13	time but would have been great is
00:03:11	00:03:15	google trends okay and what's
00:03:13	00:03:16	trends.google.com
00:03:15	00:03:18	and what you can do is enter in any
00:03:16	00:03:19	topic and it'll tell you kind of how
00:03:18	00:03:22	that topic's doing in google but you can
00:03:19	00:03:24	also see what's currently trending
00:03:22	00:03:25	so you can see right here vaccine blood
00:03:24	00:03:26	wasn't it trending but you can see
00:03:25	00:03:28	there's a there's a ton
00:03:26	00:03:30	of volume right now for people
00:03:28	00:03:31	researching vaccines in general and
00:03:30	00:03:33	those that were able to recognize that
00:03:31	00:03:35	maybe right here right were able to get
00:03:33	00:03:36	ahead of that curve and have a lot of
00:03:35	00:03:38	content around vaccines okay and you can
00:03:36	00:03:39	see other things here black national
00:03:38	00:03:42	anthem
00:03:39	00:03:43	space jam twilight john mayer and if we
00:03:42	00:03:45	click view more you can see we can just
00:03:43	00:03:46	start scrolling through and see what is
00:03:45	00:03:47	kind of
00:03:46	00:03:49	trending on google today that may have
00:03:47	00:03:51	not been trending a few days ago and you
00:03:49	00:03:51	start to look through things and you can
00:03:51	00:03:53	start to see
00:03:51	00:03:54	potential and possibilities and things
00:03:53	00:03:56	that you know aren't just things like
00:03:54	00:03:57	flooding in germany that are temporary
00:03:56	00:03:58	but things that might be coming up more
00:03:57	00:04:00	and more and more
00:03:58	00:04:01	a great example of this is child tax
00:04:00	00:04:03	credit okay
00:04:01	00:04:05	we've got a hundred thousand people
00:04:03	00:04:05	right now that are trying to figure out
00:04:05	00:04:07	this child
00:04:05	00:04:09	tax credit that's coming from congress
00:04:07	00:04:10	in the usa and it's fresh right it's
00:04:09	00:04:12	brand new news there's not a lot of
00:04:10	00:04:13	competition out there for this and that
00:04:12	00:04:15	makes it
00:04:13	00:04:16	possible for a new affiliate with very
00:04:15	00:04:18	little audience
00:04:16	00:04:19	to rank in searches and put out content
00:04:18	00:04:21	that actually does very well because of
00:04:19	00:04:22	the lack of competition because this is
00:04:21	00:04:23	something that's happening now
00:04:22	00:04:25	that wasn't happening a few months ago
00:04:23	00:04:27	so there's not as much content competing
00:04:25	00:04:28	so there's a reason for this okay you've
00:04:27	00:04:30	got to think about the logic of this
00:04:28	00:04:32	if something is just now starting to
00:04:30	00:04:34	trend and be up and coming there's not a
00:04:32	00:04:35	lot of competition out there
00:04:34	00:04:37	thinking google and youtube and stuff
00:04:35	00:04:38	there's not a lot of competing videos
00:04:37	00:04:40	because it's just now starting to trend
00:04:38	00:04:42	that means that there's no videos or
00:04:40	00:04:44	blog posts that are a month
00:04:42	00:04:45	older or more you're just competing with
00:04:44	00:04:46	you know anything that's been written in
00:04:45	00:04:48	the last month that shrinks down the
00:04:46	00:04:50	amount of competition significantly but
00:04:48	00:04:52	the second reason is that when something
00:04:50	00:04:53	is trending and newsworthy and it's
00:04:52	00:04:55	happening right now
00:04:53	00:04:56	social media sites love to serve up that
00:04:55	00:04:57	content so
00:04:56	00:04:59	if i served up something on the vaccine
00:04:57	00:05:01	right now on tiktok i'd probably do
00:04:59	00:05:03	very very well whereas if i served up
00:05:01	00:05:03	that exact same piece of content a year
00:05:03	00:05:04	ago
00:05:03	00:05:06	on the vaccine it would probably have
00:05:04	00:05:07	done much much less well because it
00:05:06	00:05:09	wasn't trending then
00:05:07	00:05:11	it wasn't as timely of a thing so guys
00:05:09	00:05:12	if you go look at this first this first
00:05:11	00:05:14	video that did very well for me in the
00:05:12	00:05:15	crypto niche it's a terrible video
00:05:14	00:05:17	terrible thumbnail nothing good about
00:05:15	00:05:18	this video except me
00:05:17	00:05:20	but because the competition was so much
00:05:18	00:05:22	less i was able to get a huge win with
00:05:20	00:05:24	this video the second thing i did
00:05:22	00:05:25	right with this campaign after doing
00:05:24	00:05:28	this multiple times wrong was choosing
00:05:25	00:05:29	the right platform
00:05:28	00:05:30	so i already been through instagram and
00:05:29	00:05:32	blogging and all kinds of ways to
00:05:30	00:05:34	promote affiliate links online
00:05:32	00:05:36	at this point but when i got into the
00:05:34	00:05:37	crypto niche i started on youtube my
00:05:36	00:05:39	very first piece of content went out on
00:05:37	00:05:40	youtube and you've got to understand
00:05:39	00:05:42	here this is this is crypto it's so
00:05:40	00:05:43	confusing i mean how many of you out
00:05:42	00:05:45	there really think you
00:05:43	00:05:46	understand crypto it's a crazy world so
00:05:45	00:05:48	these people are trying to understand
00:05:46	00:05:50	crypto so an instagram post right or a
00:05:48	00:05:51	60 second tiktok that's not going to
00:05:50	00:05:53	be enough
00:05:51	00:05:55	to people that's just confusion to
00:05:53	00:05:56	people i'm confused
00:05:55	00:05:57	go buy bitcoin how do you buy bitcoin i
00:05:56	00:05:59	don't understand what bitcoin is how
00:05:57	00:06:00	does this all work so that's not enough
00:05:59	00:06:02	these people want
00:06:00	00:06:04	detailed instructions on how all this
00:06:02	00:06:06	works meaning either a blog post which
00:06:04	00:06:07	some people will prefer but most people
00:06:06	00:06:10	want a video they want to
00:06:07	00:06:12	see you on your screen doing this and
00:06:10	00:06:13	that's exactly what i did and why i was
00:06:12	00:06:14	able to do so well
00:06:13	00:06:16	reason number three i was able to make
00:06:14	00:06:17	this ten thousand dollars is i was able
00:06:16	00:06:20	to carve out a space
00:06:17	00:06:21	specifically for me so when i first got
00:06:20	00:06:23	started in this there were kind of two
00:06:21	00:06:25	types of crypto channels out there there
00:06:23	00:06:27	were crypto channels that were being run
00:06:25	00:06:28	by the crypto people right like i guess
00:06:27	00:06:30	you'd call them crypto nerds they
00:06:28	00:06:31	understood crypto perfectly they
00:06:30	00:06:32	understood how blockchain and all this
00:06:31	00:06:33	stuff work
00:06:32	00:06:35	and when you watched a youtube video of
00:06:33	00:06:36	theirs you didn't understand half the
00:06:35	00:06:38	words coming out of their mouth right
00:06:36	00:06:40	you're hearing words like node and
00:06:38	00:06:41	blockchain and having and your mind's
00:06:40	00:06:43	about to explode so people that were new
00:06:41	00:06:43	to crypto were showing up on these
00:06:43	00:06:45	channels
00:06:43	00:06:46	and they were disliking them and they
00:06:45	00:06:48	were backing out of these videos because
00:06:46	00:06:50	it just didn't work for who they were
00:06:48	00:06:51	now the second type of video was
00:06:50	00:06:52	entertainers there were entertainers
00:06:51	00:06:53	that were kind of kind of teaching
00:06:52	00:06:55	crypto but they made
00:06:53	00:06:57	fun entertaining channels kind of
00:06:55	00:07:00	honestly like this video is this channel
00:06:57	00:07:00	is much more entertaining
00:07:00	00:07:03	so i took a different route a route that
00:07:02	00:07:04	most people weren't taking and there was
00:07:03	00:07:06	very
00:07:04	00:07:07	little of out there at the time and that
00:07:06	00:07:10	was extremely simple
00:07:07	00:07:12	super slow tutorials and in fact if you
00:07:10	00:07:15	go watch this video
00:07:12	00:07:16	i tok insanely slow but there was a
00:07:15	00:07:17	space for that okay all these brand new
00:07:16	00:07:19	people
00:07:17	00:07:20	flooding into crypto right we've just
00:07:19	00:07:22	we've got in at the perfect time and now
00:07:20	00:07:23	all these people are looking and trying
00:07:22	00:07:25	to learn and there's these
00:07:23	00:07:26	people that are so confusing and there's
00:07:25	00:07:28	these people that are making light of it
00:07:26	00:07:30	and stuff like that and making fun of it
00:07:28	00:07:32	but there's nobody that's just sitting
00:07:30	00:07:34	down and breaking things down
00:07:32	00:07:36	step by step slowly who may not
00:07:34	00:07:37	understand very much themselves either
00:07:36	00:07:39	which kind of puts them
00:07:37	00:07:41	me in the perfect position to teach this
00:07:39	00:07:43	stuff so the third key to success was
00:07:41	00:07:44	finding a gap in the market or a void
00:07:43	00:07:46	and then filling it the fourth key to me
00:07:44	00:07:48	making that ten thousand dollars was
00:07:46	00:07:50	choosing to make content that directly
00:07:48	00:07:52	correlated with affiliate programs what
00:07:50	00:07:53	do you mean what i mean by that is you
00:07:52	00:07:55	can make content like this video right
00:07:53	00:07:57	here and this video right here
00:07:55	00:07:58	is decent content but at the end of the
00:07:57	00:08:00	video there's not necessarily something
00:07:58	00:08:02	that you're going to be sold okay
00:08:00	00:08:03	i might get you onto my email list and
00:08:02	00:08:05	perhaps we'll be able to sell you
00:08:03	00:08:07	something down the road
00:08:05	00:08:09	but you can see on this bitcoin video it
00:08:07	00:08:11	was how to buy bitcoin
00:08:09	00:08:12	meaning these people were already taking
00:08:11	00:08:13	action they were looking to buy bitcoin
00:08:12	00:08:15	it was
00:08:13	00:08:17	very very natural for me to include an
00:08:15	00:08:18	affiliate link down below and to mention
00:08:17	00:08:20	it i didn't have to do anything with
00:08:18	00:08:22	email lists or any complicated things
00:08:20	00:08:23	here for this first ten thousand dollars
00:08:22	00:08:25	i just made a video toked to people
00:08:23	00:08:26	about how to buy bitcoin and then it
00:08:25	00:08:27	pointed them down below to a link and
00:08:26	00:08:29	they were
00:08:27	00:08:30	already looking to buy so they really
00:08:29	00:08:31	wanted to click that link and once they
00:08:30	00:08:33	clicked and bought i was able to make
00:08:31	00:08:34	money now there's two routes you can
00:08:33	00:08:36	take here for me i went for a high
00:08:34	00:08:37	volume keyword that was
00:08:36	00:08:39	low tiket commission so i only get paid
00:08:37	00:08:41	ten dollars each time someone signs up
00:08:39	00:08:42	here but you can see i was getting 9 000
00:08:41	00:08:44	views a day that means i was making
00:08:42	00:08:46	hundreds and hundreds of dollars a day
00:08:44	00:08:48	in 10 increments you can take another
00:08:46	00:08:49	route and go for high tiket affiliate
00:08:48	00:08:51	products and then you're able to
00:08:49	00:08:53	attack these kind of smaller low volume
00:08:51	00:08:54	keywords that may not get 9 000 views a
00:08:53	00:08:56	day but it's okay
00:08:54	00:08:58	because you're able to make a lot more
00:08:56	00:09:00	in a single commission dollars
00:08:58	00:09:01	yes the sixth thing i did well and
00:09:00	00:09:03	honestly i didn't do this in my first
00:09:01	00:09:04	few youtube videos which was so dumb of
00:09:03	00:09:07	me
00:09:04	00:09:08	was a very clear call to action so many
00:09:07	00:09:10	youtubers just
00:09:08	00:09:11	don't mention calls to action they don't
00:09:10	00:09:13	tell their audience their viewers what
00:09:11	00:09:14	they need to do what their steps are and
00:09:13	00:09:16	so i made it very clear within the first
00:09:14	00:09:17	few minutes of this video that the first
00:09:16	00:09:19	thing my audience needed to do as they
00:09:17	00:09:20	viewed this video was to click the link
00:09:19	00:09:22	down below that would take them so they
00:09:20	00:09:23	were on the same page as we're looking
00:09:22	00:09:25	at on the screen and then they could
00:09:23	00:09:27	follow me along right there and by doing
00:09:25	00:09:28	that i was able to drastikally increase
00:09:27	00:09:29	my affiliate commissions because people
00:09:28	00:09:31	are following along
00:09:29	00:09:32	clicking my link as i click it and
00:09:31	00:09:33	running along with me now that we
00:09:32	00:09:34	understand all the key things that went
00:09:33	00:09:36	into this
00:09:34	00:09:37	first successful affiliate campaign for
00:09:36	00:09:39	me zero to ten thousand dollars let's
00:09:37	00:09:40	just dive in and look at it so we'll
00:09:39	00:09:42	look at the traffic and we'll look at
00:09:40	00:09:43	the success rate here so first thing i
00:09:42	00:09:45	did was i made this video we toked
00:09:43	00:09:46	about how to buy bitcoin right and how
00:09:45	00:09:48	to buy bitcoin video
00:09:46	00:09:50	did very well after a while after a few
00:09:48	00:09:51	months you can see it blew up and it got
00:09:50	00:09:53	9 000 views
00:09:51	00:09:55	next you can see if we go into the
00:09:53	00:09:57	description of this video the very first
00:09:55	00:09:59	thing on the top of the description is
00:09:57	00:10:00	the link to coinbase right there and i
00:09:59	00:10:02	mentioned that
00:10:00	00:10:03	multiple times throughout the video so
00:10:02	00:10:05	they watch the video they go down below
00:10:03	00:10:06	as the video tells them to do and they
00:10:05	00:10:09	click that link right there now that's
00:10:06	00:10:11	my coinbase affiliate link and once they
00:10:09	00:10:13	sign up for a coinbase account and buy
00:10:11	00:10:15	their bitcoin as long as it's 100
00:10:13	00:10:16	of bitcoin or more i make 10 and you can
00:10:15	00:10:18	see right here on the screen
00:10:16	00:10:20	i got in ten dollar increments here i've
00:10:18	00:10:21	now made now it wasn't this high in the
00:10:20	00:10:21	beginning but it was over ten thousand
00:10:21	00:10:23	dollars
00:10:21	00:10:25	but at this point it's almost thirty
00:10:23	00:10:27	thousand dollars in free bitcoin and all
00:10:25	00:10:28	i'm doing is taking people that are
00:10:27	00:10:30	looking for something online and i'm
00:10:28	00:10:32	providing them an answer okay i'm not
00:10:30	00:10:33	spamming i'm not selling i'm helping
00:10:32	00:10:35	people that are trying to figure out how
00:10:33	00:10:36	to buy bitcoin i'm helping them do it
00:10:35	00:10:38	and i'm able to make money
00:10:36	00:10:39	in the process now if you tried to jump
00:10:38	00:10:41	on and do this exact same thing
00:10:39	00:10:43	right now you probably wouldn't do very
00:10:41	00:10:45	well because bitcoin is no longer
00:10:43	00:10:47	an easy niche to get into there's been
00:10:45	00:10:48	years and years of channels putting out
00:10:47	00:10:50	content about this
00:10:48	00:10:52	it gave me hope but there's always
00:10:50	00:10:53	another opportunity but there's always a
00:10:52	00:10:55	new trend and there's
00:10:53	00:10:57	always a new void to be filled in these
00:10:55	00:10:59	trends take advantage of that the next
00:10:57	00:11:00	time you see a trend and watch yourself
00:10:59	00:11:02	go from zero to ten thousand dollars in
00:11:00	00:11:03	the first few months as well
00:11:02	00:11:05	now wait you've made it to the end you
00:11:03	00:11:07	want to learn affiliate marketing i can
