1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,530
Can you make a full time income with affiliate marketing on YouTube?

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,110
Today I'm going to make a case for exactly how you can with receipts from my own affiliate marketing

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:09,690
payouts.

4
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:13,160
In the last month, that way, you know, I'm not just telling you that you can.

5
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:14,960
This is from actual experience.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,580
Let's get the fun stuff out of the way.

7
00:00:16,580 --> 00:00:22,040
First, here are my top five affiliate payouts from this past month in order from lowest to highest,

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,930
I have about 30 affiliate partners in total, but these were the top five from last month.

9
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:30,980
Coming in at number five is source Mogul at $279.

10
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:35,240
Now, Source Mogul is a software that I've used and recommended for years now.

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,060
It helps compare Amazon's catalog of millions of products to other retail suppliers, and this helps

12
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:47,090
both online arbitrage sellers as well as Dropshippers find profitable products to list in literally

13
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:47,750
seconds.

14
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:50,780
I've had a strong relationship with this company for a while now.

15
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:55,970
Coming in at number four is the only one on this list that I'm not actually able to reveal since I'm

16
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:58,820
working on a profit share with this relatively new company.

17
00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:02,970
And I don't just get a commission every time I'm able to get someone to sign up for it.

18
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:05,490
I'm not really allowed to divulge which company it is.

19
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:08,820
But if you watch this channel, it's one I recommend all the time.

20
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:15,450
I got paid $316.25 this past month from a small portion of their overall profit.

21
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:20,040
And I'm really excited about this deal because hypothetically, as they grow, my earning potential

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,780
should significantly grow too.

23
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:24,300
I have a vested interest in seeing this company succeed.

24
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:28,200
But as we'll talk about shortly, that's not why I'm recommending them.

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,520
Coming in At number three is Jungle Scout at $596.48 now.

26
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:37,710
Jungle Scout is another software that I've recommended for a long time.

27
00:01:37,710 --> 00:01:42,420
It's the best software, in my opinion, for quickly gauging the sales of Amazon listings.

28
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:44,790
So you know whether or not they're good buys.

29
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:50,010
I've recommended this software since I started on YouTube doing e-commerce tutorials like five years

30
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:50,340
ago.

31
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:55,470
Coming in at number two is Scan Unlimited at $715.50.

32
00:01:55,470 --> 00:02:01,560
Scan Unlimited is another software that I strongly believe in and I use every single day in my own business

33
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:02,340
all the time.

34
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:06,510
It's very similar to Source Mogul in that it compares millions of Amazon products.

35
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:12,270
The only difference is this software recommends wholesale products, not retail products, which is

36
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:13,200
typically what I recommend.

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,270
Source mogul for Scan Unlimited is a no brainer for anybody trying to start a wholesale business on

38
00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:18,750
Amazon.

39
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:22,680
Whether you're reselling or dropshipping, you won't be able to compete without it.

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,750
And coming in at number one is Picturae at $825.43.

41
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:32,730
Now, Picturae is the main software that I use and recommend for YouTube automation videos.

42
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:37,890
It automatically comes up with relevant images and relevant videos and then syncs them together with

43
00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:41,580
your video script and your voiceover to create a new YouTube video.

44
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:46,590
And this saves so much time because you can create videos in a matter of minutes and you don't have

45
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:51,900
to spend hours and hours editing videos yourself or pay loads of money to hire a video editor when you

46
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:53,940
don't know for sure if it'll work or not.

47
00:02:53,940 --> 00:03:00,420
Altogether, these top five affiliate partners paid me out $2,732.66 this past month.

48
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:07,380
And if you combine those with the rest of my affiliates for the month, I earned a total of $5,210.67

49
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:08,430
from affiliate marketing.

50
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:15,180
So the answer is yes, you can make a full time income just doing affiliate marketing on YouTube.

51
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:23,100
Even still, if you extrapolate those numbers over 12 months, then it would be roughly $62,528.04 per

52
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:24,840
year, which is a decent salary.

53
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,370
Keep in mind, this month was a little bit higher than usual, but these numbers aren't that high at

54
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:33,540
all when you compare them to other YouTubers with bigger followings and more engagement.

55
00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:39,870
So it's safe to say that these numbers are obtainable with consistency, with time and with effort for

56
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:40,950
almost anyone.

57
00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:46,140
This does assume that you're making content and it also assumes that you're following the do's and don'ts

58
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:47,910
that I'm about to share with you right now.

59
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:48,830
So here they are.

60
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,480
First, understand that all these affiliate partners, mainly pitch software programs that sell themselves,

61
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640
I don't need to sell them much myself.

62
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,230
They already solve a problem for a specific target market, so it's really easy for me to just show

63
00:04:01,230 --> 00:04:02,040
them in action.

64
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,850
Explain them a little bit, and then tell the viewer they can save a little bit of money if they sign

65
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:06,570
up through my link.

66
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:08,430
Which brings me to point number two.

67
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:10,170
Less is more when you pitch.

68
00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:14,220
I don't need to have some long, drawn out sales pitch for these, and if I did, I probably wouldn't

69
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,390
convert people very well.

70
00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:20,220
I simply demonstrate the value in each one of these videos and set up a deal with the company, which

71
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:25,170
anyone can do simply by signing up for most of these affiliate programs because they'll offer specific

72
00:04:25,170 --> 00:04:28,320
links that will then help you convert customers better with discount codes.

73
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,760
And then I subtly tell them that they can save a little bit of money if they use the link in the description.

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,820
It's a win win and it's not a hard sell.

75
00:04:34,830 --> 00:04:37,320
Remember, subtle and less is more.

76
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,690
And finally, but the most important only recommend something that you personally use and personally

77
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:43,140
believe in.

78
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:48,300
Never recommend something just for the commission or I guarantee you it'll backfire on you.

79
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,610
If not right away, it will very soon because one your audience will most likely recognize that you

80
00:04:53,610 --> 00:04:54,840
are not sold on it yourself.

81
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:59,670
And two, even if they do trust you and then they use the software, but they have a bad experience,

82
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:59,880
they'll.

83
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:02,180
Never trust you for anything again in the future.

84
00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:07,010
The whole point of building up an audience and a YouTube channel is to help people build a community

85
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:10,430
and build recurring views and trust with the people that watch you.

86
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:15,310
And the fastest way to torpedo that trust is to recommend something that you don't believe in.

87
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,790
Trust me, it's not worth it.

88
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:21,890
I've been pitched thousands of affiliate deals and probably dozens to maybe 100 brand deals.

89
00:05:21,890 --> 00:05:26,720
And I'm not even a big channel, and I only recommend 30 things that I'm affiliated with.

90
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,090
And I've only ever done two brand deals.

91
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,390
Be super selective in who you decide to partner with.

92
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:37,010
Remember that your audience trusts you and that's something that you need to take super seriously when

93
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:38,360
making these decisions.

94
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Everything you recommend you should either use or believe in yourself.
