Introduction
Good to see you again, and before we jump into how we
can use the Traffic Authority strategy to make money as an
affiliate, you need to make sure you’ve completed The
Manual. In no way should you start this course, reading this
eBook here.
Great.
Now that’s cleared up, I want you to open your eyes to
affiliate marketing.
Most of the money I’ve made online, probably 80% of it, I’ve
made as an affiliate. That means me, referring customers to
offers other people have created, and making a commission
for every sale. That is it in a nutshell, and when we know how
to drive traffic, we can make a great deal of money without
creating anything to sell.
This is where its good for us, because using the Traffic
Authority strategy means we know how to send targeted
traffic to offers, so the hard bit is covered. We know how to
get traffic, we just need to understand the best way to
promote affiliate offers and what ones to choose.
Ready to dive in?
Why make money as an affiliate?
I’ve pretty much covered the main benefit in the section
above, but there are a lot of benefits to making money as
an affiliate.
There’s no upfront expense here, and we can simply make
money just from sending traffic to other peoples offers.

you. You simply send targeted traffic, and when they
convert and buy, you get send commission for the sale.
Now here’s the cool thing.
YouTube is the second largest search engine, so this simply
means it’s a platform people search on. Therefore people
are trying to find out reviews or specific products, they’re
trying to find answers and most importantly we can provide
them with exactly what they need.
Someone searches for a way to lose weight, and a YouTube
authority that shows his or her viewers how to lose weight
recommends checking out the product in the description.
That link is your affiliate link. Now all of a sudden the person
looking for a solution to lose weight on YouTube is presented
with a trustworthy source, which recommends checking out
a specific product using the link in the description. That link
gives them the solution they’re after, leading them to take
action, buy, and this of course leads to a commission being
paid out to you.
It’s powerful.
Yet it’s simple.
Where To Start
Again, I’m going to start with the basic level of where to start.
Affiliate marketing and how to make money as an affiliate is
a huge topic I could write a whole new 120-page eBook on.
But these specifics will set you up on the right track for sure.
1.
Sign up to an affiliate network
– Simple, go and create
and account at an affiliate network. Places like
Clickbank, Clicksure, JVZOO, Affiliate Window,
Linkshare, Web Gains, Commission Junction, Amazon,
eBay etc.

2.
Find a product to promote
– Search the marketplace of
the affiliate network you’ve signed up to, and find a
product to promote. If you have a niche in mind
already, go ahead and find a product related to that
niche. If you don’t, find a high converting offer in a
given niche that of course has popular YouTube
channels related to it.
3.
Generate your affiliate link
– Dependent on the affiliate
network you’re signed up to the way you do this differs,
but for each of them it’s straightforward. This is your
unique link that redirects to the sales page, and tracks
that if a purchase is made when someone visits through
your link you’re automatically credited.
4.
Cloak your affiliate link
– Look, we’re adding our link
here to the video description. Affiliate links are ugly so
use a service to cloak your affiliate url. Bit.ly and Tinyurl
are options. Even better, use a domain to cloak the
affiliate link. Something like:
http://www.yourdomain.com/product-name
5.
Take action
– Once the above has been completed,
simply follow the 4 steps from the Manual. Find an
authority, get in touch with them and get them to
recommend their viewers to visit your link.
Now again, the 4-step process basically stays the same. You
still find keywords the same way as taught in the Manual, you
still find channels and videos the same way, but the way we
get them to accept our offer differs.
We of course need to approach getting a YouTube authority
to recommend our affiliate link differently to the way we
approach them to just recommend our website.
Here’s how.

The Approach
Like I’ve said, the 4-step process you learnt in the Traffic
Authority manual stays the same. The only thing we need to
do differently is the way we approach the negotiation. How
are we going to get the channel owner to say yes to our
offer?
Here’s the issue: People tend to frown on affiliate links. Why?
Because as the owner of that channel, they could simply
create their own affiliate link and make money for
themselves rather than you. Here’s the other downside.
Customers tend to frown on affiliate links when they’re smart
enough to know the referrer is making money from the sale…
therefore it can damage the reputation of the authority
we’re targeting.
So we need to angle it different. Because the likelihood is the
authority we’re targeting will know all about affiliate
marketing and how they can make money from it.
So here’s how.
NOTE:
On the odd chance, the person we’re targeting may
just be a complete online newbie who has a huge following
on their YouTube and has no idea about how to make
money with their channel. They upload videos for fun, and
we as online marketers can benefit from that.
What To Offer
So I’ve already mentioned that if the person we’re
contacting is smart enough to know about how affiliate
marketing works, they could simply just use their own link to
make the money you could potentially be earning. Therefore
we need to approach them in a business manner.
We need to position our offer to them as if it’s something
they’re benefiting from, along with their subscribers.
