00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | hello everybody thanks for coming to my |
00:00:01 | 00:00:04 | channel today my name is grace I'm also |
00:00:03 | 00:00:06 | known as little mama and I'm from the |
00:00:04 | 00:00:08 | blog work anywhere now calm in this |
00:00:06 | 00:00:11 | video today I'm gonna tok about Amazon |
00:00:08 | 00:00:13 | Associates Program and how Amazon has |
00:00:11 | 00:00:16 | slashed once again the Commission's for |
00:00:13 | 00:00:18 | affiliates and it's upsetting a lot of |
00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | people in their affiliate marketing |
00:00:18 | 00:00:20 | world so let's get started to discuss |
00:00:20 | 00:00:27 | this |
00:00:27 | 00:00:34 | all right welcome to my slide show here |
00:00:30 | 00:00:37 | is Amazon associate dead I'm not sure |
00:00:34 | 00:00:41 | but it sure looking like guys |
00:00:37 | 00:00:43 | so biggest news right now they just |
00:00:41 | 00:00:46 | announced yesterday they sent an email |
00:00:43 | 00:00:49 | to all their affiliates who is in the |
00:00:46 | 00:00:51 | Amazon Associates Program that's what |
00:00:49 | 00:00:53 | their affiliate program is called and |
00:00:51 | 00:00:57 | all those affiliates are called |
00:00:53 | 00:00:59 | associates and they also call their |
00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | Commission's or our Commission's |
00:00:59 | 00:01:03 | advertising fees because that's |
00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | advertising for them that's marketing |
00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | money for them |
00:01:04 | 00:01:10 | so what happened in his head it is no |
00:01:07 | 00:01:13 | secret that Amazon is always changing |
00:01:10 | 00:01:16 | their Commission structure to not favor |
00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | the affiliates it seems like through the |
00:01:16 | 00:01:21 | years I've been in a fillip marketing |
00:01:18 | 00:01:23 | since 2016 guys and through the years |
00:01:21 | 00:01:26 | I've known the program they think |
00:01:23 | 00:01:30 | decreasing decreasing but it has never |
00:01:26 | 00:01:31 | been this drastik of a change so I want |
00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | to discuss this because there's gonna be |
00:01:31 | 00:01:36 | a lot of filius who has websites that |
00:01:34 | 00:01:38 | are dependent on Amazon's affiliate |
00:01:36 | 00:01:41 | program and I'm going to show you some |
00:01:38 | 00:01:44 | ways how you can kind of adapt and move |
00:01:41 | 00:01:46 | forward without Amazon cuz you from the |
00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | looks of it you be prepared that there's |
00:01:46 | 00:01:50 | gonna be no more Amazon to program in |
00:01:48 | 00:01:53 | the near future guys ok let's take a |
00:01:50 | 00:01:56 | look at the changes ok so effective |
00:01:53 | 00:02:00 | April 21st 2020 Amazon is reducing the |
00:01:56 | 00:02:03 | amount of categories from 13 to 8 these |
00:02:00 | 00:02:06 | categories are like the broad categories |
00:02:03 | 00:02:08 | of the Commission's for each section so |
00:02:06 | 00:02:11 | I'll show you on the charts in a second |
00:02:08 | 00:02:14 | but they have had a lot of categories in |
00:02:11 | 00:02:17 | different rates right and now that huge |
00:02:14 | 00:02:20 | list is shrunk to only eat categories |
00:02:17 | 00:02:23 | and so the Commissioner rates are going |
00:02:20 | 00:02:26 | from they used to have 1 to 10 percent |
00:02:23 | 00:02:31 | commission rate and now there's only 2 |
00:02:26 | 00:02:36 | commission rates 1% and 3% Wow |
00:02:31 | 00:02:38 | so now why did this change happen well |
00:02:36 | 00:02:40 | we're never going in |
00:02:38 | 00:02:43 | because Amazon never comes up and tells |
00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | you the email that is sent is always oh |
00:02:43 | 00:02:47 | of course |
00:02:44 | 00:02:49 | they do make sure that you're okay |
00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | during this pandemic that we're living |
00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | in and so they start off with that email |
00:02:51 | 00:02:55 | I hope you are safe but I'm going to |
00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | take away all your Commission's now is |
00:02:55 | 00:02:59 | the next census so there's no |
00:02:57 | 00:03:02 | explanation from Amazon why they're |
00:02:59 | 00:03:04 | slashing so the next thing is that okay |
00:03:02 | 00:03:07 | we are in a pandemic and they were going |
00:03:04 | 00:03:09 | to only ship essential products first |
00:03:07 | 00:03:11 | and only concentrate on selling |
00:03:09 | 00:03:13 | essential products so maybe that's the |
00:03:11 | 00:03:15 | reason why they're slashing because |
00:03:13 | 00:03:18 | they're only focusing on that maybe |
00:03:15 | 00:03:20 | there's not enough money to go around |
00:03:18 | 00:03:23 | but I also hear that they're having the |
00:03:20 | 00:03:26 | biggest highest sales ever so is |
00:03:23 | 00:03:28 | definitely not just essential goods |
00:03:26 | 00:03:31 | because I myself have been shopping on |
00:03:28 | 00:03:34 | Amazon during this time damage and and |
00:03:31 | 00:03:35 | thief is shipping everything even though |
00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | it was supposed to be shipped a month |
00:03:35 | 00:03:42 | later I still get it within a week okay |
00:03:38 | 00:03:47 | so they are very very busy and this |
00:03:42 | 00:03:50 | problem is probably the reason why the |
00:03:47 | 00:03:53 | program the Philip program for Amazon is |
00:03:50 | 00:03:56 | shrinking to nearly nothing so I just |
00:03:53 | 00:03:59 | want to go through the charts here so on |
00:03:56 | 00:04:03 | the left side here this chart right here |
00:03:59 | 00:04:06 | down this way this is the old chart okay |
00:04:03 | 00:04:10 | so you see that there are 13 different |
00:04:06 | 00:04:11 | rates here I don't count this zero part |
00:04:10 | 00:04:14 | because obviously you don't earn |
00:04:11 | 00:04:17 | anything on gift cards but there are 13 |
00:04:14 | 00:04:21 | other rates here okay now look at this |
00:04:17 | 00:04:26 | on from April 21st forward you have only |
00:04:21 | 00:04:29 | eight lines with only one and 3% are you |
00:04:26 | 00:04:32 | kidding the Amazon so the worst thing is |
00:04:29 | 00:04:36 | that they even took out this last part |
00:04:32 | 00:04:41 | guys this last part Wow |
00:04:36 | 00:04:45 | all other calories cut |
00:04:41 | 00:04:50 | so you're literally just left with these |
00:04:45 | 00:04:55 | categories here to promote guys so when |
00:04:50 | 00:04:57 | this this all category this is pretty |
00:04:55 | 00:04:59 | much everything else on the freakin |
00:04:57 | 00:05:04 | platform and now they're taking that all |
00:04:59 | 00:05:09 | away so what is left you have home and |
00:05:04 | 00:05:12 | home home stuff and then you have music |
00:05:09 | 00:05:15 | stuff music and beauty and some business |
00:05:12 | 00:05:20 | supplies here you have still outdoor |
00:05:15 | 00:05:22 | stuff you have groceries sports sports |
00:05:20 | 00:05:25 | that's not bad to have sports still |
00:05:22 | 00:05:29 | there baby products that's good and |
00:05:25 | 00:05:32 | health and personal care but 1% and the |
00:05:29 | 00:05:35 | Amazon fresh which is their groceries at |
00:05:32 | 00:05:38 | one percent I mean who's gonna tok |
00:05:35 | 00:05:41 | about groceries on their blog like |
00:05:38 | 00:05:44 | really so let's take to get away like |
00:05:41 | 00:05:49 | clothing so that's gone they've taken |
00:05:44 | 00:05:53 | away all these devices digital music and |
00:05:49 | 00:05:55 | handmade digital videos it's not the way |
00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | a lot of stuff guys they took away all |
00:05:55 | 00:06:00 | their own Amazon products and then |
00:05:57 | 00:06:02 | electronics all the electronics are gone |
00:06:00 | 00:06:05 | I mean hey you I mean they didn't have |
00:06:02 | 00:06:10 | great rates before either but then now |
00:06:05 | 00:06:14 | it's a zero so that's that's how it goes |
00:06:10 | 00:06:16 | so I mean both of the changes guys and |
00:06:14 | 00:06:20 | it's drastik and if you had a website |
00:06:16 | 00:06:22 | that dependent on this program to make |
00:06:20 | 00:06:25 | you a lot of money every month your |
00:06:22 | 00:06:27 | revenues gonna go way down because of |
00:06:25 | 00:06:29 | this especially if you don't have a |
00:06:27 | 00:06:32 | website that toks about any of these |
00:06:29 | 00:06:35 | categories that's left here okay if you |
00:06:32 | 00:06:38 | don't have any of this stuff here you |
00:06:35 | 00:06:40 | are doomed what can you do to move |
00:06:38 | 00:06:43 | forward so how to move forward you can |
00:06:40 | 00:06:47 | stik with Amazon if your website has |
00:06:43 | 00:06:49 | those categories you know that are left |
00:06:47 | 00:06:51 | okay if you have one of those eight |
00:06:49 | 00:06:54 | categories that's left then |
00:06:51 | 00:06:57 | you may be able to stik around but even |
00:06:54 | 00:06:59 | with that I would still use some of |
00:06:57 | 00:07:01 | these other options that I'm going to |
00:06:59 | 00:07:03 | list out here because it looks like |
00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | they're probably gone like kill the |
00:07:03 | 00:07:09 | program it's just that they don't want |
00:07:05 | 00:07:11 | to kill it right now because everyone is |
00:07:09 | 00:07:15 | going through so much so I think they're |
00:07:11 | 00:07:18 | just still skinning us slowly here okay |
00:07:15 | 00:07:20 | so I think you should plan that Amazon |
00:07:18 | 00:07:24 | affiliate program will be gone in the |
00:07:20 | 00:07:25 | near future so stiking with Amazon is |
00:07:24 | 00:07:26 | very risky |
00:07:25 | 00:07:29 | if that's what you want to stik with |
00:07:26 | 00:07:31 | the next thing you should do if you have |
00:07:29 | 00:07:34 | a category that is eliminated or |
00:07:31 | 00:07:38 | planning to get away from Amazon is |
00:07:34 | 00:07:40 | finding new affiliate programs pronto so |
00:07:38 | 00:07:45 | there are many other programs still okay |
00:07:40 | 00:07:47 | so CJ is an affiliate network and share |
00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | a sale is also an affiliate network what |
00:07:47 | 00:07:53 | that means is that it has a whole bunch |
00:07:49 | 00:07:56 | of companies in there that have a fillip |
00:07:53 | 00:08:00 | programs they run the affiliate programs |
00:07:56 | 00:08:02 | for those companies and what happens is |
00:08:00 | 00:08:04 | that when you go into these two networks |
00:08:02 | 00:08:06 | you will be looking up the products that |
00:08:04 | 00:08:09 | you want then look at the company that |
00:08:06 | 00:08:12 | you want and then applying directly to |
00:08:09 | 00:08:14 | the companies so sometimes the companies |
00:08:12 | 00:08:15 | will approve your instantly or you may |
00:08:14 | 00:08:18 | have to go through an approval process |
00:08:15 | 00:08:21 | or you could go through the brands or |
00:08:18 | 00:08:24 | companies directly which is the private |
00:08:21 | 00:08:26 | affiliate programs so let's say Apple |
00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | Walmart Target you could go directly to |
00:08:26 | 00:08:30 | them and they have their own affiliate |
00:08:28 | 00:08:33 | program you definitely need to find new |
00:08:30 | 00:08:35 | affiliate programs to replace your |
00:08:33 | 00:08:38 | Amazon links and everything else I mean |
00:08:35 | 00:08:41 | I can't imagine the links that you guys |
00:08:38 | 00:08:43 | have to update I'm pretty happy I don't |
00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | I'm not in that situation right now with |
00:08:43 | 00:08:48 | having an Amazon site I can't imagine |
00:08:46 | 00:08:50 | the revenue you guys going to be losing |
00:08:48 | 00:08:54 | with this so the other option that you |
00:08:50 | 00:08:56 | can can add to your website is used CPA |
00:08:54 | 00:08:58 | marketing so CPA marketing is cost per |
00:08:56 | 00:09:00 | action and so you're not even having |
00:08:58 | 00:09:02 | your visitors to buy anything |
00:09:00 | 00:09:05 | it's all about signing up and doing |
00:09:02 | 00:09:07 | some kind of action for them so as I |
00:09:05 | 00:09:09 | just submitting an email address or |
00:09:07 | 00:09:13 | something like that and you get paid you |
00:09:09 | 00:09:16 | could be paid either from $1 to $0.50 to |
00:09:13 | 00:09:20 | like $3 or $5 or sometimes even a lot |
00:09:16 | 00:09:23 | more it depends on what it is but so you |
00:09:20 | 00:09:24 | could do something like that offer |
00:09:23 | 00:09:26 | something to sign up for some kind of |
00:09:24 | 00:09:29 | offer and then you can have another |
00:09:26 | 00:09:31 | revenue source without having making any |
00:09:29 | 00:09:34 | sales so that's a great option the next |
00:09:31 | 00:09:36 | thing is get away from physical products |
00:09:34 | 00:09:39 | because you can make a lot more money |
00:09:36 | 00:09:41 | with digital products I mean I |
00:09:39 | 00:09:43 | understand if there's certain niches out |
00:09:41 | 00:09:46 | there that are hard to find digital |
00:09:43 | 00:09:48 | products for but there are also a lot of |
00:09:46 | 00:09:51 | niches that have a bunch of digital |
00:09:48 | 00:09:52 | products that you can so you need to |
00:09:51 | 00:09:54 | think outside the box |
00:09:52 | 00:09:58 | go on Etsy or go on some kind of online |
00:09:54 | 00:10:02 | course platform like udemy or Skillshare |
00:09:58 | 00:10:05 | calm those places will have tons of |
00:10:02 | 00:10:07 | courses for you guys to promote so these |
00:10:05 | 00:10:10 | online course platforms have multiple |
00:10:07 | 00:10:12 | multiple multiple categories so you |
00:10:10 | 00:10:14 | should be able to find an online course |
00:10:12 | 00:10:17 | to promote on there for your website |
00:10:14 | 00:10:19 | okay so you never know you may be able |
00:10:17 | 00:10:21 | to find several and then you can get a |
00:10:19 | 00:10:23 | rigor income that way if you keep |
00:10:21 | 00:10:24 | promoting digital courses or something |
00:10:23 | 00:10:27 | like that |
00:10:24 | 00:10:29 | another option is seeing if you can find |
00:10:27 | 00:10:33 | some kind of membership site for your |
00:10:29 | 00:10:35 | niche and see if your visitors or |
00:10:33 | 00:10:37 | audience will find it useful to sign up |
00:10:35 | 00:10:38 | for some kind of membership site like |
00:10:37 | 00:10:41 | that and that would be even better |
00:10:38 | 00:10:42 | because then you'll be earning recurring |
00:10:41 | 00:10:43 | commissions for the membership |
00:10:42 | 00:10:46 | subscriptions that they'll be paying |
00:10:43 | 00:10:49 | month after month so that is one of the |
00:10:46 | 00:10:51 | best ways to earn I that's how I earn my |
00:10:49 | 00:10:54 | affiliate Commission's the fifth way |
00:10:51 | 00:10:57 | that you can add to your website and add |
00:10:54 | 00:10:59 | another revenue stream is using your own |
00:10:57 | 00:11:02 | product so you can actually create your |
00:10:59 | 00:11:03 | own digital product which is even easier |
00:11:02 | 00:11:05 | so I'm not even toking about you know |
00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | creating your own physical product |
00:11:05 | 00:11:09 | that's gonna be hard I've been there |
00:11:07 | 00:11:10 | okay it's hard and you have to wear a |
00:11:09 | 00:11:14 | lot of hats and area |
00:11:10 | 00:11:17 | and so I don't recommend that unless you |
00:11:14 | 00:11:20 | have you know the resources for that but |
00:11:17 | 00:11:22 | if you do like an a digital product it's |
00:11:20 | 00:11:25 | totally viable so you can make your own |
00:11:22 | 00:11:27 | online course for your niche that you |
00:11:25 | 00:11:29 | can sell directly on your website and |
00:11:27 | 00:11:30 | you can make a lot more money that way |
00:11:29 | 00:11:33 | actually |
00:11:30 | 00:11:35 | then affiliate commissions so the sixth |
00:11:33 | 00:11:39 | is about advertising so if you haven't |
00:11:35 | 00:11:42 | put advertising on your website this is |
00:11:39 | 00:11:45 | a true passive income because you just |
00:11:42 | 00:11:47 | me a set up and you will get automatik |
00:11:45 | 00:11:49 | income just from the traffic that you |
00:11:47 | 00:11:51 | get on your site so if you have a very |
00:11:49 | 00:11:54 | high traffic site you should be earning |
00:11:51 | 00:11:55 | ad revenue on there for sure so one more |
00:11:54 | 00:11:57 | thing I want to mention is that if |
00:11:55 | 00:11:59 | you're new to affiliate marketing and |
00:11:57 | 00:12:02 | you haven't been able to get much |
00:11:59 | 00:12:04 | results I urge you to check out this one |
00:12:02 | 00:12:08 | site okay I urge you to check out this |
00:12:04 | 00:12:10 | site and what this site is about is |
00:12:08 | 00:12:12 | about teaching you how to build your |
00:12:10 | 00:12:15 | affiliate marketing website properly |
00:12:12 | 00:12:18 | okay so if you already have an affiliate |
00:12:15 | 00:12:21 | website it's great it's fine and you can |
00:12:18 | 00:12:23 | use that and continue to use that but |
00:12:21 | 00:12:26 | why you're not getting results with your |
00:12:23 | 00:12:30 | website is because you haven't done it |
00:12:26 | 00:12:33 | properly okay you're obviously not doing |
00:12:30 | 00:12:35 | the correct on-page SEO or occupation |
00:12:33 | 00:12:38 | SEO or know how to use the keywords |
00:12:35 | 00:12:41 | properly to bring traffic to your |
00:12:38 | 00:12:44 | website on its own so if you were to do |
00:12:41 | 00:12:46 | it properly you will be actually giving |
00:12:44 | 00:12:49 | tons and tons of visitors to your |
00:12:46 | 00:12:51 | website and earning a full-time online |
00:12:49 | 00:12:53 | income from your website so that's the |
00:12:51 | 00:12:56 | potential of having an affiliate |
00:12:53 | 00:13:00 | marketing business and having your own |
00:12:56 | 00:13:03 | website that uses this model so what the |
00:13:00 | 00:13:06 | affiliate is the training platform for |
00:13:03 | 00:13:09 | building affiliate websites and in fact |
00:13:06 | 00:13:11 | you get a free website when you come on |
00:13:09 | 00:13:14 | here because you get to start for free |
00:13:11 | 00:13:16 | but you need to upgrade to premium if |
00:13:14 | 00:13:19 | you want the entire training of course |
00:13:16 | 00:13:21 | with your free account though you do get |
00:13:19 | 00:13:22 | the first level of the training for free |
00:13:21 | 00:13:25 | which has |
00:13:22 | 00:13:28 | lessons in it and in those 10 and in |
00:13:25 | 00:13:30 | those 10 lessons you're gonna get a free |
00:13:28 | 00:13:32 | website already that will be live on the |
00:13:30 | 00:13:34 | Internet after you finish those 10 |
00:13:32 | 00:13:37 | lessons so once you upgrade to premium |
00:13:34 | 00:13:39 | you don't get four more levels of |
00:13:37 | 00:13:41 | lessons and it's very crucial you go |
00:13:39 | 00:13:42 | through them okay the rest of the |
00:13:41 | 00:13:45 | lessons are the ones that would teach |
