can someone tally up how many times i say the word affiliate in the video you guys the time has come for us to talk about affiliate marketing ever since i watched my video sharing how much money i'm making with 200 000 subscribers i've received a ton a ton of questions asking what is affiliate marketing

 how to get started what platforms i'm a part of or what affiliate marketing networks i'm a part of as well as what is my strategy how have i been able to make as much money as i am making 13 643 with just that one income stream 

so today i'm gonna be breaking it down for you guys i'm gonna be sharing my exact strategy 

so if you wanna get started with affiliate marketing or if you want to make more money with affiliate marketing keep on reading so what the heck is affiliate marketing basically you will become an affiliate of companies or products that you really really like and enjoy 

 i mean you could become an affiliate of products that you don't like and enjoy but i would never recommend that and that's not part of my strategy which is the point of this article but someone else has a product or service that you like and enjoy and you would recommend in your youtube videos or let's say you're a blogger and you recommend it on your blog post

when you link to whatever that product or service is you can have an affiliate link which is a custom trackable link it is unique to you and when someone clicks on that link and completes a sale or has a successful conversion you will receive a small commission

 so for me like all of my camera gear and products and stuff you guys know that i recommend that to you guys i use it i love it i am happy to recommend it to you and i use affiliate links at the  end of this article.

 so if you guys ever actually purchase anything that i recommend i do receive a small commission for it it's a small commission what the heck does that mean

 so each company and each program that you're a part of is going to be different and even under affiliate marketing networks which i'm going to explain here in a second each company under the affiliate marketing network can be different and it could mean a percentage of the sale 

so let's say it's five percent maybe it's 50 of a sale and let me actually give you guys a real example so for my paid products i actually have an affiliate marketing program

 so if you guys have ever purchased my paid products whether that is a blow it up blueprint my lightroom presets if you've ever purchased any of my paid products you can become an affiliate of them and i will give you 50 of every successful referral 

so let's say you referred someone to my content calendar which i think is 18 if you referred someone to my content calendar and someone actually signed up for it and purchased it you would get nine dollars because my commission is 50 and that's the way that some companies work is based on a percentage of the sale 

so that's one way that they do it the other way that they do it is they will give you a flat rate and this actually only happens with certain things like it only happened for me for two of the things that i am a part of where i would get a flat rate and it can be as low as let's say like 50 cents per successful sale or lead or it could be way up to like 80 100 per successful sale or referral 

so it's a great way to make passive income because obviously if you include the links in the description bar of your videos and then let's say five months down the line that video takes off it gets a ton of views and you're specifically recommending one product in that video people click on your affiliate link 

complete those sales you're going to receive a commission for something that you did a long time ago passive income is so so great but the other thing is i think a lot of people overlook affiliate marketing because especially if you're trying to become a youtuber you know oh i'm gonna make a lot of money from ads 

so i'm gonna hit my 1 000 subscribers my 4 000 watch hours that i'm going to get monetized on youtube when in reality you can actually be making money sooner if you got started with affiliate marketing and if you need more convincing to get started with affiliate marketing it is actually my most profitable income stream 

so you guys know with my ads revenue i'm very transparent with that i share every single month how much money i'm making and even just this last month i made 9 800 from my ads revenue but in total of 2020

 so far which is january through august i didn't include september because i haven't had my payouts yet affiliate marketing has made me the most money and it's made me forty four thousand dollars in just those eight months alone and to be fully transparent with you guys that little income thing that i shared with you that was actually a screenshot taken from my quick books but i did exclude two of my income streams one client work 

i made like barely any money in client work because the only month i did it was january and 2020 so that's not really a thing and then the other thing is sponsorships i can't legally share how much money i'm making from sponsorship 

so those are just three of my income streams that i wanted to show you guys to compare but affiliate marketing is still the top number one income stream for me and to break it down even more you guys know i'm a stats person i absolutely love this stuff in july i ended up making 7 627 for my affiliate marketing and in august i made 11 628 

so affiliate marketing can seriously become a powerhouse it is a kind of set it and leave it strategy so for every video you are creating if you are talking about something that you can link to in your description bar or if you can just have a set list of links down there it's such a great long-term strategy with affiliate marketing 

you're not going to be making money right away especially because of some affiliate marketing networks the payout date it can take a while and let me actually just explain that a little bit better like what our affiliate marketing networks and how you can get started and then we'll talk about the payout and all of that

 i am actually a part of two different affiliate marketing networks and basically these networks what that means is companies can join influencers can join and it's it's a way to connect companies with influencers and influencers with companies

 so there are networks that have hundreds if not thousands of companies that are a part of them and then you just have to join that network i am a part of two the very first one is share a sale that is the one that i got started with like my affiliate marketing got started on share a sale and it's a really great platform the one thing 

i will say is that the website needs updated like it is out of date but it works really really well and there are a lot of companies within that network that you can become an affiliate 

so i do recommend share sale and then the other one i am a part of is reward style so a lot of you guys especially if you are on instagram you follow beauty or fashion bloggers on instagram they use like to know it yeah that's reward style 

so i am also a part of reward style which actually oh my gosh it works so so freaking well so they have this plug-in called link ninja or they have this extension called link ninja and if you're not sure if certain sites will have links or if you're not sure that you can become an affiliate to certain sites you can go to that site click on the link ninja and it will actually come up with a link if it is like you can become an affiliate of it or if it's not it will tell you that you can't but reward style is seriously a game changer 

i just joined them at the beginning of 2020 and i have absolutely loved it i want to let you guys in on a little secret you know what big companies that you shop at you know you love you use such as amazon target say like best buy home depot lowe's like that was big companies that you guys buy things from and you want to link to but you don't want to become an affiliate of each of those individual sites and i don't even know if that's possible but with reward style it is possible using their link ninja thing i'm telling you guys like this is not sponsored by reward style 

i'm not an affiliate of reward style i just really really like this platform and i want you guys to give it a try like i should have joined it sooner i i really should have joined it sooner and the benefit to using a platform such as share a sale or reward style is that you can get access to a bunch of different companies but also you only have one payout
