Internet Marketing Zeta.Rocks

The number one reason most people never succeed in online marketing is inaction. So, before we even begin with step one of our battle plan you need to make a resolution to start taking action right now. Everything you learned in this course can be applied and executed right now in as little as an hour (although if it’s your first time it may take longer). And there’s one more resolution you need to make: a willingness to take imperfect action. The prime driver for inaction is the never- ending vision of the “perfect execution”. Set that aside. Don’t throw it away, there’ll be time for it later. Just set it aside for now and start taking IMPERFECT action. Knock out the steps below, even if you’re not sure about what niche you’ll ultimately end up in.

It’s time to drive some traffic to your affiliate link. Now there are a lot of ways to do video on YouTube. If you just type any random product you can think of into the YouTube search bar along with the word review, you’ll see a ton of variety. Some people are making physical product reviews in full HD with a studio-quality white background. Some are making them at their kitchen table or seated behind a counter. Some are sitting on an immaculately clean sofa in a well-lit living room with the product on a coffee table. Some of these people aren’t showcasing a physical product but rather are just talking about a digital product or service. Some have lapel mics and great audio and some sound terrible. Some are real people and some are hired actors reading a script “on the cheap” from places like Fiverr or Upwork. Either way, these are all called talking head videos because they literally have the speaker on screen.

So, we’re going to be looking at both ClickBank and Amazon in this lesson. We’ll start by going to ClickBank.com and clicking on “Create account”. Now we’re not going to go through the entire account creation process as it’s all pretty self-explanatory, but just note that you’ll want to put an address here where you want them to send your affiliate commission checks.

Now once you’ve created that account you’ll want to click on Affiliate Marketplace. From here, you’ll be able to drill down and select the product that you want to promote. Since this is an info product marketplace we’ll say we’re looking for Internet Marketing products to promote. So go down to the “categories” sidebar menu and click the arrow next to “e- business” and then select “SEM & SEO” from the drop down.

In the results, you’ll see hundreds of products to choose from. We’ll want to pick the one that we think will be most profitable with the one caveat being this: make sure you investigate it a little afterwards to make sure it’s not garbage. You want to be able to sleep with a sound conscience at night and to do that you’ll want to make sure you’re not promoting a rip-off. For the sake of this example, we’ll assume all of these products are legit.

Now there are several ways to filter these products. For our purposes, we want to focus on three main things: Popularity, Gravity, and Earnings.

This course focuses on aggressively leveraging the power of YouTube to make affiliate sales. Our goal will be to establish a working affiliate apparatus and to make it profitable in as little time as possible.

If you’ve been looking at affiliate marketing for a while you’ve probably noticed that YouTube is packed with affiliate reviews of all sorts of products. Some of them are webcam talking head videos, some are selfie videos shot with a phone while taking a walk, some are impressive semi-professional videos with people behind a counter or sitting on a couch with a physical product in front of them on a coffee table, and some are basic screencast videos. And then there are even the super cheap ones that consist only of photos and text or slideshows. All of them have the same basic conclusion: “click the link below to learn more”. Of course, that link is an affiliate link, and every time someone clicks it and eventually buys a product (even if it’s a few days later, thanks to cookies), the person who made that video gets paid a commission. That’s where we want you.
