Do you want to make money online or maybe you just want to learn more about Affiliate Marketing?

Then make sure you continue reading and I promise both of these questions will be answered 🙂

For many, their journey to make money online has been a terrible experience.

Mostly because they set these insane goals and think they’re going to make a million bucks by doing no work at all.

However, for others, they just want to make a couple extra bucks on the side.

Now, if you want to make a million dollars without doing any work…

Then you’re better off just exiting out of this right now.

HOWEVER, if you want to learn how to make passive income with affiliate marketing…

…By actually PUTTING IN ACTION, then this blog is perfect for you!

And you should keep reading 🙂

Let’s begin!

Now, I can tell you one thing… I wish Affiliate Marketing was the first business I picked when I started this online thing…

I started with Dropshipping, where I had to deal with so many issues that you don’t want to deal with when first starting business online.

For example, charge-backs, returns, customer support, learning facebook ads… the list goes.

However, Affiliate marketing is the perfect business for you if you want to start making money online FAST… (without all of those headaches)

And WITHOUT the hassle of learning the hard way and picking the wrong business model like me!

Literally, it’s the easiest. And in my opinion, the best.

Diving into Affiliate Marketing

That brings me to the question; what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is when a someone purchases a product or service through a personalized link that you receive by joining one of the MANY affiliate programs out there…

And in turn, you get a commission from the sale.

Now, There are a lot of big businesses that run their own affiliate programs such as Amazon and ClickFunnels.

And I personally use ClickFunnels, as my main program, because they offer LIFETIME recurring commissions. As well as, many other AMAZING bonuses and benefits.

But more importantly, affiliate marketing gives you the opportunity to work with other peoples’ proven products or services. Which means:

  • No more customer support needs to be done…
  • You don’t need to find merchant accounts…
  • The product is already proven to sell…

…Along with many other benefits, but those are a couple awesome ones!

Now, a deeper dive into affilliate marketing and how it works.

Let me show you how most people are “trying” to do affiliate marketing…

how people try to do affiliate marketing

And this is how they’re doing it. They are sending their traffic straight to the affiliate product/offer…

You might make a little bit of money doing this.

But, you’ll be missing out on a key, KEY, component.

YOUR EMAIL LIST! You’re not building a list by going this route. You NEED to be building your list.

Optin & Bridge Pages are key

Here’s a picture below of how to do it the RIGHT way… And the way I do it. AND the way I will be giving you access to do it, the same way… Just gotta wait and see at the end of this post! (so stay tuned)

Anyways, here’s the picture of the right way to do affiliate marketing, for any and every product!

the right way to do affiliate marketing

Here are the steps explained:

  • Get your traffic. It can be from paid Facebook Ad Campaigns or from your Youtube Channel. Any traffic will work. (YouTube happens to be my personal favorite)
  • Direct this traffic to an opt-in page. An opt-in page is where you give people an option to join your email list. Usually, there’s a FREE incentive to entice people to sign up. (free training, e-book, video, etc.)
  • A thank-you page is what follows. You thank/congratulate them for joining/subscribing and tell them what to expect over the next couple of days or weeks. (how to access the emails, trainings, etc.)

As you can see, this second method is well planned and will ensure future earnings for other products you plan on marketing.

Additionally, you don’t wont have to keep on getting new leads every time…

You can now market to people on your list with future products that are related and even send them emails about this offer, if they didn’t purchase the first time around.

You already paid for the lead once, so it’s all FREE MONEY after that.

The Best Affiliate Program + The software that created all these pages!

And the magic software is….

ClickFunnels. 

But not only is it the best affiliate program on the market, it’s what I use to build all of my funnnels, as well. (websites, optin pages, bridge pages, etc)

It’s amazing drag and drop editor simplified making funnels (better versions of websites) for the basic people like you and me, who don’t know a thing about coding!

PLUS, ClickFunnels pays you 40% recurring commissions!

So, are you still a little confused? (And that’s totally fine, if you are)

I understand that this is a lot to take in, especially if you’re just starting out.

Therefore, you can check out the last blog I did here: How to use ClickFunnels.

Or, you watch the video at the top of this post, I go much more in-depth.

ClickFunnels has a long list of affiliate offers…

And my favorite affiliate offer to promote is just the ClickFunnels software, itself.

Because it pays 40% recurring commissions. And Recurring commissions are dope.

And you could promote his FREE book funnels. The 2 best options would be: DotCom Secrets or Expert Secrets.

Seriously, they are both amazing books and the book is just the front-end offer on the funnel.

You can earn $927 if they were to purchase everything in the funnel… And you get that all by just suggesting a FREE book!

the expert secrets book funnel
Expert Secrets Book Funnel

Not to mention, half the people who buy the book will end up getting ClickFunnels in the end…

That’s where sticky cookies come into play.

Yes… ClickFunnels offers sticky coookies!

If you don’t know what a sticky cookie is, this is how it works…

Once someone buys through your ClickFunnels affiliate link, whether it’s a free book or a high-ticket product, your affiliate i.d. is coded (stuck) to them.

So… If they purchase anything after that initial purchase, you will get credited and you will earn a commission.

And that’s just another amazing thing ClickFunnels offers.

Now, don’t even get me started on the fact that you can win your Dream Car by promoting ClickFunnels.

But just stay tuned and get my new training to learn:

How To Launch a Proven, Automated, and Profitable Online Business, Without Tons of Experience OR Tech Skills

(Complete Newbies Are Getting INSANE Results With This Fast, Step-By-Step Training…)

Below are some images of my actual optin page and bridge page.

This is the first step of my funnel:

You want every page in a funnel to be simple as possible. You want the visitor to know what it is all about in a glance.

Funnels, by trade… only give 1 option on each page.

It’s not like a website where there are tons of navigation bars and links all around the pages. There’s only 1 way in, and 1 way out. (this results in much better conversions)

Anyways… You just enter your email and click the red button…

Then you go to the second step in the funnel…

And this is my bridge page:

This is where I introduce myself, provide value, build trust and tell you about the offer on the next page.

Then, if you decide that you’re interested, you just click the green button and get sent to the offer on the next page. (this could be a high-ticket affiliate program or your own product)

And if you don’t wanna learn how to make money online with affiliate marketing (by using this training) that’s totally fine.

But trust me, this training is next-level. There isn’t anything on the market that even compares to it.

However, if you don’t end up getting started…

Just remember, that if you’re going to be doing affiliate marketing…

ALWAYS USE AN OPTIN PAGE AND BRIDGE PAGE! 

And if nothing else, just make sure to (at the very LEAST) … use an optin page, so you can grow your email list!

Wrapping things up

Ok… Now that you understand affiliate marketing and how to create the perfect opt-in page, so you can convert more of your visitors into subscribers, leads and buyers….

And I hope to see you on the inside 🙂
