Hello and congratulations on getting access to this video course on Affiliate Marketing 101.
Now, while we will be talking about the basics, we’ll also talk about some advanced strategies at the end of the video course.
But before you can get there, you need to understand the basic fundamentals of affiliate marketing.
What’s true, what’s not, what’s reality, and what’s hyped up.
And sometimes hype can be reality, but it’s just multiplied by ten times.
So my goal in the beginning here is to kind of bring you back to reality.
And that’s why we’re going to talk about mindset first.
So in the making of this video course, I want to make sure that you have the most realistic view of affiliate marketing without all the hype, so that we can ensure that you are in the right mindset before we get started.
And I’m a big believer of talking about mindset before we jump into the actual concepts and the fundamentals and all that.
So that makes you absorb data in a more effective way.
Now the reality is that with affiliate marketing, there’s a lot of hustle.
And what I mean by that is that you’re going to have to do a lot of work.
You’re not going to do as much work compared to that of a vendor, but there’s still a lot of work involved.
And as long as you know that this is a real business, this is not a side thing, this is a real business.
And that you understand also that you don’t want to focus or get too attached to one specific product that you’re promoting as an affiliate and you’re flexible, I think that’s a better word then that will help you succeed more.
So as long as you understand that you kind of need to have the mindset of, okay, let’s just go with the flow, let’s just see what happens.
It works, it works.
We learn from it, we move forward.
All right, so not every product that you test is going to work.
Sometimes you’ll have to test five products and it’s not going to work.
But then you’ll find that one product that converts like crazy, and it’ll typically make up for all the products that did not work.
And I want you to understand that there’s a lot of opportunity out there and a lot of money to be made in this industry, regardless of what niche it is.
But at the same time, even though there’s a lot of opportunity and a lot of money to be made, there’s a lot of time to be lost as well.
So now what I want to do is give you a quick overview of what’s inside this video course so you know exactly what to expect.
And that way you’re going to be able to implement everything faster and you’re going to be able to see all the pieces of the puzzle.
So obviously, this is video number one, which is the introduction to the affiliate lifestyle.
Video number two is going to be about what affiliate marketing really looks like.
So we’re going to bring you back to reality.
And video number three, we’re going to talk about the advantages.
Video number four, the disadvantages, video number five, types of affiliate marketing, different payment structures and all that.
And video number six, we’ll talk about reviewing the product.
Now, while this seems basic, 90% of affiliates that we’ve watched actually don’t do this.
And by not doing this and skipping this process, you actually lose out on your conversion rate.
And we’ll show you why.
And video number seven, we’ll talk about incentivized bonuses, which is an advanced strategy.
And video number eight, we’ll talk about howto go from affiliates to private deals, which allows you to make more money.
So with that said, let’s move onto video number two and talk about what affiliate marketing really looks like.
