This is super easy any body could do it.  I'm gonna show you. I explain it imagine you belong to a gym okay and you love everything about the gym you love the facilities right you love the locker rooms the pool the little sprays.  They give you right the q-tips you love the weight room you love the spin classes the yoga classes you love the instructors the equipment is clean the managers friendly everything about it the location the parking you could go on and on and on and you're talking to a friend who's like. I really need to lose weight I really need to get back into shape can you say to them listen I've got a 30-day pass at my gym you should check it out they have great and you just relist everything. 

I just said they have great locker rooms they have great weight rooms they have great classes they have great instructors they have this they have this here's a free pass go check it out and by the way if you end up joining.

I get a free month so I really appreciate it okay that is affiliate marketing in a nutshell right you're not really selling you're you're you're referring them you're the middle man or the middle woman in this case and that's an offline version of what it is and the same thing online if you've seen some of my videos I talked about some various products that I use like click funnels occasionally.

I talk about my email marketing software I use active campaign and then I talk about my affiliate marketing training and what I do is I give value and then I say hey if you want to learn more there is a link below in my description check it out I'd never sell people I never say hey if you by this click here.

I say hey if you want to learn more check it out and they check out a free video or free information and if they end up buying something I get a percentage so that little link that you see in the description of my YouTube channel or in my tik-tok or if it's on Facebook.

I get paid so the more content I produce right the more videos I put out the more tick-tocks. I make the more articles or blog posts that I write the more Facebook posts I do. I'm not an Instagram person but if I was doing Instagram or Twitter anything that you can think of that that fits to to you know your kind of social media personality right that is where you would start that would be your your kind of your home your platform and all you're doing is producing content producing value around that product now if you're thinking.

I don't have a product to promote think about your interest right what is it that you love to talk about 24/7 right what is something that you're interested maybe it's cooking maybe it's fishing who knows you simply go into Google.

You type fishing affiliate program for fishing partner program or golf partner program right and thousands and thousands of things are gonna pop up so that's how you get started that's my dog in the background by the way and that's how you get started that's affiliate marketing.  You provide value right around stick around one focus on one niche right don't go all over the place also my big recommendation is make sure you use the product this is something that you use because you're gonna be talking about it all the time and make sure it's something that you can see yourself talking about 10 years from now.

Because affiliate marketing is a long-term game you don't make money within the first 24 hours you might but in most cases it takes a few months it takes a year example. I had a sale come in today for three hundred eighteen dollars and I was sitting on the back porch with my wife how's it go sweetheart. We just made three hundred eighteen dollars she's like how did you do that I said remember that video I made and you were laughing at me saying why are you doing this well guess what it just made 318 dollars and this was a video.

I made several months ago now it's made other sales off of that but this was work I've done in the past but a couple months later it's now starting to pay off because it's starting to rank higher in Google.

It's starting to rake higher in YouTube it's starting to people are starting to visit my blog that is it so it is a long-term game but it can pay off for you very well. Now the bonus I promised you.
