How To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing
[Video Transcript]
all right miles here miles Becker calm
and this affiliate marketing training is
going to be going on here in just a
second we’re gonna cover three main
questions in this video the first one is
what is affiliate marketing the second
one is how does affiliate marketing work
and the third one the most important one
is how do you make money with affiliate
marketing now if you can hear me right
now and you can see me everything’s
clear on the stream give me a thumbs up
and also leave me a little comment say
yep it’s working and let me know where
you’re dialing in from if you’re
watching after the live broadcast know
that we’re gonna go through my
curriculum first and this I expect to
take about 15 to 20 minutes and then
we’ll transition into question and
answer session after that so if you see
this videos got a really long playtime
don’t worry the core curriculum is gonna
come out first and then it’s just
question answer you’ll get a lot of
value from the question answer but you
can get through the content much more
quickly so I am getting comments right
here and now we got Donna we got Brennan
tenza everybody is seeming to get my
content here so we got the Netherlands
in the house we got Florida we got San
Diego cool everybody is able to hear me
and see me which means let’s just jump
in and get started because I’ve got a
lot of ground to cover so if you don’t
know who I am or about my past I made my
first money online as an affiliate in
2003 so I’ve been making money online as
an affiliate for approximately 15 years
now it’s still a big core of my wife and
my main business we have I would assume
somewhere between two and three dozen
sources of income that kind of support
us currently and most of those are
affiliate income I’ve also built an
affiliate program for a merchant I built
a program from the ground up it was an
online retailer that did about 1.5
million dollars per year in revenue in
the greeting card world they did print
on demand greeting cards I helped them
build an affiliate program and we grew
it to over a quarter million dollars in
revenue in the first year and that
program has been running successfully
ever since so I have in one side of the
equation or the other generated well
over a million dollars in revenue as an
affiliate
I still do well over a hundred probably
about three hundred thousand or so per
year as an affiliate so we’re super
affiliates over here so I know what I’m
talking
about what you’re gonna learn here in
this kind of video in this course is not
the easy money promises that you’ll see
in a lot of the fake guru sales letter
being an affiliate marketer takes a lot
of work and for the first few years it
probably will take more work than a
40-hour a week job but here’s the kicker
you can get to a point where you’ve
built up enough momentum in your
business that you either keep doing the
same amount of work or you can ease off
the throttle a bit and you have so much
momentum going that your income
continues to grow whether you put in
more effort or not it also can free you
up there’s no ceiling to how much you
can earn as an affiliate I know
affiliates who make millions of dollars
per year you can operate an affiliate
marketing business from anywhere in the
world I’ve lived in over 20 countries in
the last four years
everything from Bali New Zealand Hawaii
Thailand Costa Rica Barcelona the grand
canary islands of Spain off the coast of
Africa and you can operate this business
from anywhere and it gives you time
freedom so you got kids you know spend
more time with your kids more time with
the grandkids you want to be able to be
the soccer coach and make – every game
and currently you’re stuck in the
cubicle
affiliate marketing can honestly offer
that freedom but it takes a lot of work
here’s the cool part it’s a proven plan
what I’m gonna show you is work for me
it’s worked for many friends it’s worked
for a lot of people and I got a huge
network of entrepreneurs to have been
speaking at events I’ve been meeting and
shaking hands with entrepreneurs all
around the world this is a proven
process so with all that said let’s jump
right in and I will get to all your
questions I’m getting so many kudos and
with Australia we got New York we got
California but our CEO st. Louis Houston
Texas North Carolina what’s up everybody
I really do honor the fact that you’re
here with me right now I’m so excited to
get into this so let’s jump in so the
first two questions we’re gonna go
through quick I want to spend the bulk
of the time on how do you make money
with affiliate marketing but you gotta
understand how it works right you got to
understand all the parties involved
because that’s how you can really get
good at the whole game of truly making a
long term income with affiliate
marketing so what is affiliate marketing
there’s two perspectives there’s the
business the merchant the vendor right
and then there’s you the affiliate so
from the merchant side or the vendor
side it’s a customer acquisition channel
so what a vendor or an e retailer and
online retailer looks at affiliate
marketing as is a way to incentivize a
commission only sales team that’s their
goal they pay on
formitz so they can bring in a lot of
affiliates and as an affiliate manager
when I ran that program I noticed about
2% or 1% of all affiliates brought in
about 90% of the revenue but you don’t
know what that 2% is so an affiliate
business is gonna bring in lots of
affiliates they’re gonna work with them
give them the tools and then they’re
gonna find the ones who are really
performing well and those are their kind
of best paid salespeople and they make
Commission only so the business has the
upfront fee to get all the tech in place
but after that they’re only paying on
performance for you as an independent
digital marketer it’s an opportunity to
sell other people’s products and earn
income based on your marketing efforts
without having to deal with shopping
carts without having to deal with
customer support you don’t have to deal
with shipping logistics returns all of
that is handled by the merchants you
simply pre sell the product and deliver
an interested audience over to the
product sales page and get more in on
that pre selling idea in the future
because that’s the big key that’s where
most people get it wrong they try to
sell the products as an affiliate that’s
actually the job of the merchant your
job is to pre sell it so that’s what
affiliate marketing is how does it work
I won’t get too techie I promise but we
got a touch on the tech here cuz you got
to understand how it works there’s a
couple of key things you’re gonna take
away from this so when a company an
online retailer wants to begin an
affiliate marketing program they install
two main pieces of code to their website
number one they put a cookie across
every single page of their website and
then they have an affiliate management
area now they can partly partner with an
affiliate network that kind of runs all
of this for them or they can run it
standalone as their own affiliate
program but what happens is you as an
affiliate when you sign up you get a
unique ID this ID is usually appended in
the URL on every page of the vendors
website there’s a cookie that’s always
looking for an affiliate ID when someone
enters the website so if someone clicks
through your link and lands on their
website you will have a special ID that
identifies you as a person who sent that
visitor when that visitor shows up with
that little special thing in the URL the
cookie gets planted on the user’s
browser and the
cookie embeds your affiliate ID as the
individual who brought that visitor to
the site then there’s something called
the cookie duration this can be from 24
hours to 6 months or sometimes they have
lifetime cookie durations generally
you’re gonna find a 30 to 60 day cookie
duration the cookie will expire at the
end of that window if the user completes
a transaction before the cookie expires
with your affiliate ID in that cookie
during the checkout process their
shopping cart will pick up who deliver
that person and attribute the sale to
whoever that affiliate is generally they
run in a last click program which means
if I sent a visitor let’s say there’s a
visitor Sally and I send Sally over
through my affiliate link and then Sally
finds your blog post and follows your
link over to that same product you would
get the attribution when Sally purchases
because you were the last click event
link and some of the networks run some
pretty fancy technology that actually
tries to blend and it’ll look at like it
would split the Commission’s between us
but for most situations you’re gonna
find that it’s a last click attribution
that’s all the tech you need to
understand the big takeaway here right
now is the cookie duration Amazon’s
affiliate program gives you a 24 hour
cookie duration which is one of the
shortest in the industry so that means
when somebody clicks on your Amazon
affiliate link and looks at a product if
they purchase within 24 hours you get
the commission for that and then every
other product they purchase on that
order if they don’t purchase within 24
hours if that purchase happens and that
transaction happens 48 hours in two days
because they had to think about it you
don’t earn the commission and Amazon
still makes a sale so when I big kind of
plums with the Amazon program but the
other side of that is they sell
everything so you can literally sell
anything in the world through Amazon on
that in their small Commission’s but
we’ll talk a little bit more about that
stuff in the future so I hope this all
makes sense so far really simple you are
in commission only salesperson your goal
is to pre-sell the content and deliver
traffic to a con to a ecommerce store to
a merchant or a vendor and then the
cookie is planted on the user’s browser
so if the user clears their cookies if
they’re running a cookie blocker your
cookie won’t actually plant so you don’t
always get a
hundred percent of the sales of what you
deliver and then as long as they make
the purchase to transaction they
complete that transaction within the
window of the cookie duration you earn a
commission oftentimes there’s there’s a
waiting period it’s like a refund period
so sometimes it’ll be 30 days after the
sale or like the first of the month
after 30 days is when you actually get
paid it could be like a two-week rolling
window and that’s if they have a return
window they want to make sure they don’t
give you a commission on a product that
gets refunded because they’re not gonna
eat that that refund they’re gonna take
your Commission back as well so that’s
how it all works and now we are moving
right into the meat and potatoes how do
you make money with affiliate marketing
if you’re liking this so far hit the
thumbs up button for me it actually
helps me get to reach out and that’s my
whole goal I’m not pitching anything at
the end of it at all not not gonna
mention anything that could earn me
income I’m 100% here committed to
helping you and the rest of YouTube
learn the right way to do affiliate
marketing so hit that thumbs up button
for me if you wouldn’t mind and onto how
to make money with affiliate marketing
so I’ve got two broad formulas that are
theoretical and then we’re gonna get
into like a five-step plan like a really
solid like step one step two all the way
to five step plan but you gotta
understand this theoretical side first
because it touches on that pre selling
idea that I talked about because your
goal is not to sell the product the
merchant is there to sell the product
and a merchant who runs a quality
affiliate program they have sales data
they know what their conversion rates
are they have a high converting offer
Amazon converts like crazy most people
go to Amazon end up buying something
that’s that’s how Amazon works so you as
an affiliate can trust that Amazon knows
how to close the sale that’s their job
your job is an affiliate is to really
kind of build that individual up their
interest and their desire so they know
that this is the right thing for them to
solve their problem or to achieve their
goal and then when they click through
they’re already ready to buy because
they’re pre-sold on the item and then
all of the do I trust this merchant do I
have a refund window am I gonna be taken
care of
all that is done by the actual merchants
themselves so how to make money with
affiliate marketing the first one it’s
three letters I’m gonna draw this on the
board I kept my whiteboard in here I
didn’t know if we were gonna use it but
we will today so let’s jump in
so the first one is TT Oh right now TT o
stands for traffic trust and offer now
this is your job as an affiliate
marketer number one you drive traffic
number two you build trust number three
you make offers a lot of people who get
the affiliate marketing game wrong think
it’s just T oh it’s just traffic to
offer traffic to offer quick story for
you when I first started making money as
an affiliate
I was direct linking people from MySpace
over to an affiliate program this was in
2003 and it started earning me some
income I wasn’t building trust I was
neglecting the middle T in this
situation it worked fine for a few
months but one change in the myspace
algorithm when they got bought out by
Fox News my links were no longer able to
be published on their platform and my
income went to zero overnight it was a
day of reckoning for the miles bechler I
was out on my own I was living in Santa
Monica 20 blocks from the beach very
expensive location I thought I had it
all figured out I thought I was riding
an easy street all the way to the to the
hammocks and the mai tais on the beach
making money doing nothing and that was
my first slap in the face by the world
of if I’m not actually adding value and
getting people to trust me myles Beckler
the intermediary not the third party
product not the blog post I’m talking
about they actually get to trust me
I wasn’t building a lifetime asset that
I could rely on so that’s ultimately
your job as an affiliate is to build the
trust and how do we do this well it’s
always through content and generally
it’s through content via an email list
I was not building an email list if I
were to go back today and kind of enter
that same business model that I had
going in 2003 instead of direct linking
them from MySpace to the actual
affiliate website I would have been
sending them to an opt-in page just like
my DIY sales funnel video series teaches
exactly like that that’s why I teach
that now that’s why I preach that now is
because I failed and I had this all
collapse down to zero so you don’t have
to so really here my words when I say
you must build a list because that list
that is your asset my friend that list
you own
list and you own the right to market to
that list as long as you got that
unsubscribe and they actually opted in
you can market to them for the lifetime
of that list they can unsubscribe when
they want but if you give enough value
we’ll talk about that in a minute that
you have gi right hook they will love
your emails they will look forward to
your emails they will be excited about
those things that you offer that’s how
it works so number one is traffic number
two is building trust number three is
making offers tto that’s the big picture
the second big picture you’ve heard me
use this analogy before if you see my
videos it’s AI da now this is an old
school kind of copywriting and direct
response formula it stands for attention
interest I just totally blanked on it
but I’ve got a written down here so
attention interest desire and action
that’s what it stands for AI da let’s
get that on the board real quick
attention interest desire and action
so in this framework you and the
merchant are both working together to
get someone all the way through AI da
attention is on you as the affiliate
interest is on you as the affiliate
desire is on you as affiliate the action
that’s ultimately up to the merchant and
you’ll notice I interchange vendor
merchants ecommerce store whatever it’s
it’s the person who’s actually closing
out the transaction so in this framework
here the attention is maybe that’s a
Pinterest pin maybe that’s a social
media post the attention starts with
that first moment they encounter your
message generally you’re not talking
about the product in this face generally
you’re talking about the solution
they’re seeking out in their life the
the goal they’re trying to achieve right
people are always searching for ways to
solve their goals they’re searching for
ways to achieve their goals
that’s how the whole internet works to
be honest that’s why you’re watching
this video right now is because you
believe that I can help you achieve your
goal or solve your problem affiliate
marketing is not work
for you you want to build a location and
financial independent business cool
this video is my content to help you you
maybe have seen my content before but
this might be the first one so we’re
somewhere between attention and interest
right I’ve captured your attention maybe
with the help of the YouTube search
engine because I’m live so I get that
little bubble popping up and it’s
getting the attention of more people
than my normal subscribers that’s part
of why I’m doing this live and that’s
part of why I built out such a long
description and a such a keyword focused
title before even launching this out
there so the interest is really being
built through me telling the stories and
me sharing what’s going on the desire is
what’s really happening through all of
this the action now if I was trying to
sell you something I would end this in a
webinar format where I sold you a course
but I don’t want to do that I’m gonna
give you everything completely I’m just
trying to show you how I’m using this
framework here today now it let’s say
let’s use an example of let’s say Diane
and Diane is a 53 year old not let list
Diane’s
42 okay Diane is she’s got three kids
and her kids are super busy she’s a
soccer mom she’s all over the place she
works from home but she never feels like
she has any downtime and she eats a lot
of fast food because it’s quick and easy
and Diane’s feeling a little overweight
and she’s not really she’s not really
loving what’s going on right now in her
life she was at a friend’s house
recently and her friend made her a green
smoothie so chia seed smoothie had all
kinds of fruit in it and instead of
going to McDonald’s for the Big Mac
midday she had the smoothie and she felt
great she had solid energy she was like
wow and her kids they actually missed
that kind of midday crash because they
all had this movie too so now this lady
she’s sold on the idea of smoothies and
she wants to mix in smoothies into her
world right so the idea was built by
actually a friend so what is she gonna
do she’s probably gonna turn to Google
and she’s gonna search Google what is
the best blender for a large family
under $100 now this is her search phrase
and what comes up in the search results
of Google on page one are capturing her
attention in this moment that she’s
decided she’s ready to add on this new
thing she’s already interested at this
point so that box is kind of ticked but
when she clicks on she wants to make
sure that you’re not just talking about
the blender you’re talking about
lifestyle benefits the psychological
wins the the losing weight the more
sustained energy that the saving money
compared to eating out at fast food the
easy to clean up because you’re a busy
mom and you can actually throw this one
inside of the dishwasher then the desire
gets built through her reading all the
benefits all the psychological benefits
not the benefits of the blender itself
the benefits of using that in her life
in a way they’re getting her kids to be
happier and so her kids don’t throw
mid-day tantrums because they’re they’re
hungry or they’re eating processed foods
all the time it’s gonna help her lose
weight that’s another huge benefit that
she wants it’s gonna have helped her
have more energy and it’s all quick and
easy to do and quick and easy to sell
she is ready at that point and if you’ve
really spoken to her as a busy mom with
lots of kids who who wants those
specific benefits the desire is there
and when you make a recommendation the
right way on this kind of page of
content that recommendation would be for
the number one blender you recommend for
that specific busy mom with a big family
who needs a fast cleanup and it’s under
a hundred bucks she’s probably gonna
click that and if it’s an Amazon link
charity trust Amazon she’s probably a
prime number already she’s gonna put on
her credit card so fast cuz that thing
will be there in two days and that was
an easier transaction than going down to
the local Walmart or the local Bed Bath
and Beyond
etc etc and in that moment my friend you
just earned commissions now I went
pretty deep into some of the
psychological stuff and you have to
understand that’s the difference that’s
the make or break it’s not about the
blender right it’s not about the golf
widget that’s going to help them improve
their golf game it’s about the bragging
rights they’re gonna get in a clubhouse
after the golf game because they finally
started beating their buddies because
they got more birdies and their buddies
did because they finally eagled some
hole when everybody else had to par the
whole type situation so psychological
things and that’s really powerful for
you to get going and to understand so
the main point here in that story I want
you to take away with is you’re not
actually selling the blender you’re
pre-selling the blender you’re helping
her understand what that specific
blender is going to do for her and then
it meets her criteria of fast cleanup
and under $100 etc etc when she gets to
Amazon she can look at the reviews
she trusts that site a lot of merchants
that aren’t Amazon there’s there’s that
trust moment of like can I put my credit
card in on this website but we’re all
programmed to put
our money and credit cards in on Amazon
already so the trust is already there
and that’s how the program works that’s
how it works when it when it actually
works is in that method you build you
capture their attention you create
interest or you help them stoke the
interest you build desire with them to
have that specific one and then you just
get them over to where they can complete
the checkout with someone who actually
is a solid vendor and deliver on the
promise because if they buy and that
lender doesn’t show up for ten weeks
because it’s being shipped from
Aliexpress you look like the bad guy
because you recommended that product and
they had a ten week lead time they
didn’t know right so you got to keep
that in mind who you promote reflects
among reflects back on you as a brand
which is why I’m not promoting any
affiliate marketing courses I don’t
trust any of them they’re mostly scams
out there to get your money or to get
you to promote the same thing and
they’re almost like multi-level
marketing and since I don’t trust any of
them and I think they’re all a little
scammy right now I’m not recommending
one to you and I’m just gonna teach you
everything instead this will be a
value-add from me to you and it’ll put
that kind of value proposition a little
farther down the line when I do have
something I think is really gonna work
for you like my DIY sales funnel series
that has three affiliate links in it I
know that’ll work for you you’re more
likely to go through that process and
trust me because I gave you all this
content on the front end let’s keep
moving so now we’re at the five steps to
make money as an affiliate so I’ve got a
free course it takes a little different
path to this point because I talk about
memberships and selling your own
products selling info products so if you
don’t have my free course yet you can
get it at miles bechler com forward
slash free – course it’s the 7 step kind
of process and my wife and I use to
build our business that we’re running
now there’s massive overlap in what
you’re about to learn in the five-step
process I go a little farther on that
one in how to create your own membership
program and how to create your own
products but I also talk about affiliate
marketing a lot in there too so so this
is contained in that that just goes a
little bit deeper and you’ll also get my
daily emails after that which have been
on fire I’ve been getting some really
cool results and responses from out all
right
five steps you ready taking notes on
this I hope so you guys having fun hit
the thumbs up if you are so step number
one know yourself this is so key and I
had this wrong back in the day for
years you need to know what method of
communication you are most comfortable
with right so if you are someone who the
thought of doing a live like I’m doing
right now scares the hell out of you
don’t do video if you’re someone who
loves to write and you’re just you you
loved English class you just love
writing you love reading and you love
writing and you see me doing this
YouTube thing like obviously that’s the
path I got to do the don’t you don’t
have to do YouTube you can just write if
you like talking but you don’t love the
idea of having to get all dressed up not
what I’m like dressed up or any I did
shave this morning I showered and shaved
but like for I think sometimes for
ladies it’s you know it’s an hour
process sometimes for my wife to get
ready to do her videos if that thought
bothers you but you love talking maybe a
podcast is the right medium for you
maybe the spoken word is the right
medium for you or if you’re a good
interview or maybe the podcast so so the
first step is to know yourself because
you have to become a content creator and
you’re trying to create content in a way
that’s not in alignment with your DNA
it’s gonna be extremely challenging and
you’re probably not going to publish
enough content that’s what I did with
the miles Beckler blog miles Becker com4
literally six and a half years roughly
from 2010 through 2016 I’d seen my wife
who built a massive massive brand
through blogging my wife’s website today
gets over 8 million visits per year now
I saw that whole process through her
using the written word so what did I
think well I need to go right that’s I
need to be a writer
but I didn’t really like writing at all
and I just never published it was
difficult for me and I wandered and and
I wasn’t focused enough and I just
didn’t have the boobs more almost a
belief that I was a writer but I tried
to force myself to write for years
wasn’t until August of 2016 that I was
like you know what I’m gonna try this
YouTube thing and I turned on the camera
and it’s fun and I love this this moment
I get to share with you I actually do
enjoy this process like I’ve been fired
up like I it was difficult for me to
sleep last night I woke up at 5:30 this
morning stoked to do this video with you
right that’s how I know that I found the
right medium for me to communicate
through now that I’ve been doing videos
I mean the results speak for themselves
right you can see my data I’m pretty
much at 60 thousand subscribers not even
two years at this point because I’m
having fun it’s enjoyable and it’s
exciting which means I’m consistent with
it and you have to be consistent with
your content marketing
or else nothing’s gonna work right the
reason my wife’s blog gets 8 million
visits per year right now is because
she’s been blogging every year every
month every week since 2009 that’s why
it’s the cumulative results it’s the
combined results of all of that past
effort that she’s getting residual kind
of traffic from all of those blog posts
she created in the past which is exactly
what my youtube channel is doing right
now my early videos are still bringing
in new people to learn about maybe
attention level and these new videos are
bringing in more new people those
compound I’m reaching more people every
day and every day I put out a video it’s
more people the reason why this is
working to get back to what we’re
talking about here is because I found my
content kind of creation method that’s
in alignment with who I am it’s fun it’s
easy so I get it done I’ve done three
videos a week at least for about two
years now and there ain’t no stopping
this train because I love what we’ve got
going on so you have to find that for
yourself so if your writer right if your
talk or do a podcast if you like the
song and dance do YouTube welcome to the
party
personally I would say there’s a small
notch up for writing the reason is
WordPress is an open source platform
it’s the only platform you should be
writing on you can control the user
experience more on WordPress than you
can on YouTube or on a podcast you can
have pop-ups that offer your free thing
which we’ll talk about in a minute you
can have a sidebar you can have ads
actual ad space in there that can be
affiliate products it can be adsense we
do both generally we’ll put an affiliate
offer that’s hyper relevant before we’ll
put an advertisement in a blog post but
you have more control you put a ribbon
up top you put fly-ins you do all kinds
of stuff if you own the platform what
you do in the written word also Google
gets more searches than anything in the
world and Google picks up written word
WordPress sites best so if you are a
writer good on you like pat yourself on
the back that is actually probably the
most powerful way to move forward as a
content creator but if you’re not a
writer don’t worry about it you can kind
of take my approach which has been now
that I’m creating content in this manner
I’m having my content transcribed you
can use auto-pay I like like the critter
like ot te rai and that’s free for like
600 minutes per month um it’ll
transcribe your stuff or you can use
Trent TR int com
it’s like 25 cents a minute and and you
can essentially create transcribe
versions of your spoken content and then
you could turn it into blog posts and
this is what I call my three pillar
content marketing strategy your ultimate
goal is to get to where your contents
out on all three pillars you got your
videos firing you got your audio firing
and you got your text firing if you
write it first great then record an
audio track of it great add on an image
for a video put it on YouTube put on the
podcast
you hit all three pillars so the goal is
three pillars and just keep in mind I
didn’t get my second pillar going for
about a year so I did only videos for
the first year just to flex that muscle
over and over to get really good at
being a content creator then I added on
the the the written word that took about
six months to get dialed in I’ve got a
team working that for me and then I
added on the the the podcast version
which I have people kind of running for
me so now that all three of those are
firing I’m emailing my list every day so
I spend time with one thing and I go all
in on one thing long enough to get
flexing muscle enough to where it
becomes easy then add the next then add
the next don’t try to start all three at
once get mastery of your main content
creation process first give it three
months six months I love a 90 day
challenge 90 posts and 90 days 90 videos
in 90 days let’s move on to the next one
so step two who can you help most people
think what can I promote and that’s the
backwards way to affiliate marketing and
most people who approach it this way
don’t make much money there are a few
people who in this world are connecting
through paid ads this is essentially
running paid ads for products and
they’re getting the clicks enough clicks
and they’re they’re doing CPA or they’re
selling enough things that they’re
making money and they’re able to apply
scale there’s also people in a world who
have won the lottery I don’t put money
into the lottery and I don’t bet on
things that don’t have a proven track
record for hundreds of thousands of
people so building the list building the
content it’s such a proven path to this
that you really need to think about not
what product can I promote but what can
I offer what value can I bring to the
world who can I best help so how do you
figure out who you can best help that’s
a really good question and you need to
kind of look in a little bit to yourself
what comes easy and naturally to you is
one thing and that that’s often hidden
it’s hidden in plain sight for us so
what would your friends say comes easily
or what are your friends or family
members what do they call you for like
hey I need help with boom you get the
phone calls all the time hey I need help
with into you it’s like man this is so
easy right so what comes easy and
naturally to you comes easy you don’t
notice that you think it comes easy to
everyone but it doesn’t and this is one
of those opportunities because if it’s
easy and natural to you and it’s
difficult for other people
perfect you have an opportunity to help
this audience of people solve a problem
or achieve a goal look back into your
education and your professional
experience if you have any look back
into your hobbies if you don’t have any
the world of gaming is turning into an
absolutely insane multi multi
multi-billion dollar industry and it has
been a billion dollar industry right the
video game industry has been but at this
point we have live streaming there’s
competitive gaming professional
competitive gamers are making millions
and millions of dollars a year the
eSports craze that’s going on right now
is absolutely insane there is so it’s
such a large audience of people wanting
to get better at games there’s a huge
market there if you’re a gamer but then
again everything from RC cars RC planes
drones horseback riding golfing all
kinds of hobbies right even down to like
fine scotches fine whiskeys fine wines
those kinds of things cigars there’s a
million different niches what captures
your interest already what are you
already interested in the big idea that
if I could help you walk away
understanding one big idea from this
whole video is for you to shift your
mindset from how can I get money from
the internet to how can I give value to
this world of the Internet what do you
know what do you have inside of you that
you’ve done that you can share that will
be helpful to an audience of people most
people have it backwards and they’re
like how can I get what can I promote to
get money from this internet when you’re
like hey how can I give value to this
world that’s when things start to work
out for you so think of my story real
quick been making money online since
2003 started building my first websites
in around 1999 when I was in high school
when I finished up high school 1999-2000
is when I built my first websites so I
spent three or four years trying to
figure the game out before I made any
money then from 2003 to 2007 it took me
that or excuse me to 2010 it took seven
years for me to go full-time online
and now from 2010 full-time online
through 2016 100% dedicated focus on my
wife and my business and also doing
client work then in 2016 right after 15
plus years of experience with digital
marketing building websites etc I began
to teach online why because I just spent
15 plus years of my life dedicating 60
to 80 hours a week figuring out this
game of internet marketing affiliate
marketing website building and all of it
and not only that I produce the results
right I’ve created a over a million
dollars in value if you look at my
client work I mean I’ve created millions
of dollars in value for all my clients
and my family included I’m talking about
revenue right I’m talking money in the
bank style profit right this is not like
intangible this is very tangible and
then I started so so my goal here is to
help you look back into your past what
have you been doing for 10 years what
have you been doing for 15 years these
are the keys to really finding out that
which is the easiest for you to help
people with so we’re looking for the
easy method of communication and then
what problem can you help other people
solve that comes easy to you easy and
easy because when it’s easy you do it
when it’s hard you’re not gonna do it so
find those easy things for you right the
if you can’t find something easy what
would be fun I’m a really good friend of
mine fitness instructor she worked in
gyms she worked one-on-one with people
she had a little online gym thing she
was building all in the fitness world
she loves horseback riding she loves
dressage riding specifically which is
like horse dancing most people don’t
know what it is it’s actually an Olympic
sport
she created a fitness product what she’s
good at mixed it with dressage riding
what she loves and she by far has the
number one fitness for dressage riding
program in the world they have part one
part two they’re crushing it they are
doing so well for themselves
there’s nobody being of service that
audience she loves it her passion comes
through her horses are in the background
right she lives on her property she has
her horses there so it’s that kind of an
idea what do you do so if you need to
figure that out like if money wasn’t a
question what would you do with your day
right or when you’re sitting on the
couch at home and you’re looking on your
phone on reddit or just browsing or
watching YouTube videos that aren’t make
money online related what do you
what are you what are you interested in
this world go down that path you’ll find
the process of making creating content
fun and easy makes it doable when it’s
doable you’ll be consistent when it’s
consistent that’s how you grow an
audience when you grow an audience
that’s how you can build the trust in
order for people to click through your
links and take your recommendations all
right so what comes easily to you that
other people seem to struggle with what
problems have you solved in your life
that you would love that other people
would love to solve have you overcome
physical ailments have you done some
sort of rehab or therapy or have you
have you quit something that was
dragging you down what have you actually
overcome in your life and how can you
help others with that what have you been
helping people or businesses with
professionally for years already
um what problems do you have in your
life right now that you’re committed to
fixing a really good example of this is
this is where you get into that document
don’t create idea that that Gary
Vaynerchuk talks about a lot if I was
like 240 right now 240 pounds I
currently weigh about 170 so if I was 70
pounds heavier than I am and I got
really truly committed and like I’m
gonna lose this 70 pounds I would
document the process I would document
what I’m doing from meal prep I would
document how I’m exercising what I’m do
I would I would make vlogs I would be
very real and I would document the
process and people could go back and
watch that process and they could see me
at 242 38 to 35 222 all the way down and
that that documenting of that story of
me solving my current problem in the
moment can be super powerful for people
because there’s an emotional connection
to stories storytelling is so powerful
in that um then what are your hobbies
what are your passions what what can you
envision researching and fiddling with
and thinking about and building and and
rebuilding four or five years straight
this game is a three to five year plan
so that is step two in the five-step
process now we’re moving to step three
so step three is give value through
content you have your core attention
content that’s going to be your blog
your YouTube your podcast or it could be
paid advertisements a real quick note if
you’re moving forward into affiliate
marketing and you’re like Chevy you paid
ads or should I do content marketing for
free traffic which is actually earned
traffic so it’s not free it takes your
time and energy do you have more time
than money or do you have more money
than time I think it would take most
people between ten and twenty five
thousand dollars in paid ads unless you
bring massive copywriting skills or
digital marketing skills to the table
but if you’re completely new to this
world you have to learn number one
copywriting you have to learn number two
funnels and digital marketing and the
actual nuts and bolts of it all then you
have to learn how to run the ads on the
ad platform and then you have to learn
human psychology and what it takes to
get people to take action that whole
process is probably gonna cost tens of
thousands of dollars in paid
advertisement unless you already
dominate at one of those things it’s not
easy to get a human being off of
Facebook to pull out their credit card
and to buy something after a click it’s
actually not easy to get someone off of
Facebook to enter their email address
for that thing you’re trying to give
them before offering that thing they buy
the whole game is really difficult so so
if you’ve got a lot of money and a lot
of free time it still takes a lot of
time to dial all that in the paid
approach works if you don’t have a lot
of money sitting around and you’ve got
nothing but time go the free version
that’s what I’m doing here I’ve never
paid a penny in advertising for the
miles Beckler brand I’ve generated
60,000 ish subscribers at this point on
this channel my wife we only started
paying for advertising
I think it’s 2014 when I really started
to get into paid ads so we ran for what
two thousand nine two four five years
without ever running a paid ad billing
nothing but organic traffic and to this
day if I stopped paying on my ads on
that main brand that traffic goes to
zero instantly if I stop paying I’m not
paying for my SEO right we get 8 million
his deer no matter what we do we go hang
out do nothing we’ll still get those
millions of visits per year because it’s
based on content so content the main the
core attention content is your blog post
if you’re a writer your podcast if
you’re a talker your YouTube video if
you are a performer right so that’s the
core then you have your indirect content
this is what links back to those pieces
this can be your Pinterest pin your
Instagram posts your Facebook your Quora
answers if you want your Yahoo Answers
your LinkedIn posts if you do LinkedIn
post your snapchat if you’re in a
snapchat musically if you’re you know
going towards that younger demographic
and musically my goal in separating
social in your core is that your core is
more important
social arc or my wife and I built
organically 915 thousand or so fans to
our Facebook fan page we get very little
traffic from all that effort and that
took so much effort to build that
organically back in the day
well we’ve also built out our organic
traffic over the years and we get 8
million visits per year
residual traffic from all the efforts we
put in so the shelf life of your blog
your YouTube and your podcast is huge
the shelf life of a Facebook post or an
Instagram post is tiny
don’t rely on social media as your core
traffic let that supplement your core
traffic model which is your core content
creation method cool so then we want to
move on to and again the 3 filler
content marketing strategy so yes you’re
putting out your blog but you want to
ultimately get it on all three then you
get all your social pointing to all
three you create your little web of
activity in the world search engines
will all pick it up Google knows when
you get a lot of social shares etc so it
all helps and works together but your
core content is that which is kind of
your blog post or your podcast or your
video then you need interest content
right so that’s attention then your
interest content this is generally an
opt-in for a free report so I already
plugged my free report it’s how we went
from side hustle to seven-figure
business right side hustle to making a
million dollars profit online it’s my
seven step process so that is at miles
vector column forward slash free course
and I’ve created that because that was
my fourth attempt at a a lead magnet and
that I found is the most burning desire
in most of my audience most of my
audience wants to fire their boss and
generate enough money to where they can
feel like they can live the lifestyle of
their dreams well I’ve done that so
that’s what I’m teaching and that
million dollar business idea is
something that’s a really big idea for
people so that’s my attention that’s my
interest level content is my free
giveaway right then there’s the desire
so we’re just we’re just working our way
through this so attention is your social
media posts and also your core content
your interest is your free item that
you’re giving away via email then the
desire comes from the emails themselves
the daily emails your follow up sequence
that’s how you build the stories around
the affiliate products that you promote
now I’ve had a couple of very successful
affiliate promotions
recently last it was last year it was
February I did a promotion on a
copywriting course and system and tool I
generate about thirty thousand dollars
in revenue as an affiliate in
approximately three days with one video
and two or three emails and that
generated thirty thousand dollars in
revenue for me now I’m profit for me
now with well there was taxes okay so
whatever anyways do the math anyways so
it generates thirty thousand dollars
into my business bank account from those
efforts but it’s not the emails it’s
everything I did for the years before
those emails and giving content and
building the relationship and it’s all
the emails those kind of those emails
that I gave that told a story and I knew
the date that that launch was gonna
start I knew the date that launch was
gonna end I started my story about a
week and a half two weeks out in my
emails and started painting the story of
how copywriting helped my wife and I go
from zero to hero in our business like
that’s the one skill that really turned
it around and my wife and I had already
purchased that product we had not only
purchased that product we had used it we
had built a video sales letter with it
we were crushing it with our video sales
letter for it so I told this big story
that led up to the point of finding that
solution then doing the work and the
results we were getting with that and
people who were at that moment of like
they’ve been building things they
realized copywriting is a challenge they
realized conversions their biggest
challenge they were like oh I need that
and the sales exploded it blew my mind
same with the authority hacker and the
other programs that I’ve promoted in the
past I’ve had multiple five figure
launches through a couple of emails here
and there and this miles better brand at
this point and that’s because they’re
all story based I tell these stories
that weave in the need and the reason
why this thing is core to your long-term
success and it is because I only promote
things I buy I only promote things that
I’ve personally been using that have
created positive results for me in my
business so I can tell these stories and
that builds the desire when I tell you a
story of how my wife and I we weren’t
able to get this product to convert we
weren’t able to sell this thing we have
this great product we built and it just
wasn’t selling and then we tried this
new video sales letter formula and all
of a sudden our conversion rates tripled
and we started making weekly sales of
this thing and daily sales for
staying for a period of time afar even
like like that story is what builds the
desire in the reader and that is what
gets them to click through and take
action and he was retiring the product
so it had like a very hard deadline and
and that was really what kind of called
them to action he did all that on his
end but I did the attention potentially
years before with my videos right so
people who bought were probably on my
list for at least a year some of them at
least then the interest through all the
different videos and pieces I talked
about about how to build the game I keep
coming back to copy writing because
copywriting is a key you heard me
mention it to the person who has the 20
grand they’re ready to put into
affiliate marketing copywriting is that
core skill they’re gonna need then to
build the desire for that product I told
the specific story over a series of
emails I led the conversation in the
direction of I had this really really
big problem in my life
we found this tool it got us over that
problem and boom we really took it to
the next level and that with a
well-timed link at what place link
generated a lot of income but it wasn’t
that one link that mattered it’s
everything we did I did four years
before that actually mattered and that’s
that’s the big thing I’m trying to help
you understand here cool so the interest
contact grow your list again going back
to my first internet kind of success
when I was making money in 2003
had I been growing a list had I focused
on growing a list with my income stopped
I would have actually been able to keep
earning income I could have kept mailing
that list I could have mailed them
different offers so that was a huge
mistake I made that’s why I’m such a
proponent now of building the email list
and you just heard a very clear story of
how that exploded for me with the email
list um so now we’re on number four step
number four of the process is finding
offers your audience already wants to
buy the key here is that your are your
audience already wants to buy these
products they might not know they want
to buy these products but they do so
people who bought that copywriting
product they probably didn’t know it
existed they didn’t know they wanted it
or needed it but they knew they had a
problem they knew they had to challenge
that conversions and copywriting were a
big challenge for them so when I laid
that story out and gave them that offer
as the solution that I chose for my
business that I’m
having really good results with it
clicked and it meant that moment they’re
like I gotta have this thing they
actually already wanted it they just
didn’t know that they wanted I helped
them see that this was the thing to get
them over the hump get them to the next
level um and it is because it is
actually a great product I continue to
use it to this day
so how do you find the offers right what
do you what have you bought that they
would get value from look back in your
past purchases my wife and I just bought
a course two or three days ago we’re
revamping a how can I say this without
giving it away
so we revamping a traffic channel in our
business that’s done really well for us
and and it continues to perform so well
we’re like let’s let’s invest more and
really take it to the next level so I
bought this course is about a torn $50
course and like we’ve sort of gone
through and is like oh my gosh this is
this is really powerful so I’m already
like where’s the affiliate link right
I’m reading this we’re already
implementing things like within two or
three days we’re seeing our traffic come
up we’re seeing our lead numbers come up
it’s like this is huh finally we found
it right so now I want to go I’m like
where can we sign up as an affiliate
they don’t have an affiliate link at the
bottom so I’m emailing the course
provider right like can we promote this
as an affiliate we have an audience who
would be really interested in this and
we’re essentially building the
relationship with the lady who sells the
product to get the ability to promote
her product so look back into what
you’re already using the hosting I
actually use the theme miles bechler
comm is built on is thrive themes that’s
why I promote thrive themes because it’s
what I use right like it’s that it
really is that simple when you’re
building a brand based on a problem that
you’ve solved through yourself in the
past what solutions do your audience not
know about let’s go back to our green
smoothie person right there’s a an
affiliate product through Clickbank
called organifi it’s a green powder they
have to have a green one a red one and a
yellow one it’s a morning and afternoon
and an evening supplement series and
it’s like part detoxing part weight-loss
but it’s like a smoothie thing so you
get the mum who’s really interested in
the blender and you help her realize
which blender it is she might not even
know about these green powders which are
the shortcut so you don’t have to keep
cutting and washing kale and cucumbers
and all the the vegetables that you put
into your green smoothie now you could
just put two scoops of this and it’s
even faster so that’s that thing that
she maybe didn’t know about that you
could promote to her and help her
understand works a lot easier when she’s
on an email list versus
link over to the affiliate program to
the actual product page but you could
always use a retargeting pixel and and
hitter with an advertisement if you
wanted to so what solutions do they not
know about what are the highest reviewed
items for people with their problems or
goals this just takes deep research
right you can go to let’s say you’re in
the audio/video space let’s say you do
do microphones you can go to Amazon you
can look at the highest reviewed
microphones go to B&H; photo video look
at what their highest reviewed products
are so you can literally crowdsource
through all the reviews in the world
what do people love the most and those
are the ones you start reviewing first
that’s one of the ways into it and then
you can go into the different affiliate
networks the different affiliate
programs and the merchants really
googles your friends like like you
sometimes you just have to go to google
and type in golf membership , affiliate
program and then all sudden it’s like
whoa revolution golf at $99 a month
membership program has a really cool
affiliate program it doesn’t say
affiliate on their page it’s Ryan by a
third-party system but that shows up
being H photo video if you go to B
Photo Video com they don’t have at the
bottom of the page an affiliate program
but if you go to Google and you type B
photo video affiliate program you’ll see
it runs on a third party you’ll see the
page pull up on a third party system you
click apply and then you can promote
everything that B&H; photo video has then
you can do comparisons between the
products on Amazon and the product on
B&H; photo video and you can talk about
how great B&H; photo videos support is
and how amazon’s gonna leave you hanging
and yeah being HS maybe thirty dollars
more but you’ll get better support or
maybe being h is cheaper than amazon and
you help point that out to your readers
that can be a way and then their
Clickbank is one that everybody knows
about and most people know about
Clickbank I have a really unique way of
analysing clickbank’s data Clickbank is
really weird like their marketplace
their search engine within clickbank’s
pretty bad and there’s so many products
on Clickbank that absolutely suck
they’re terrible they’ll never convert
they’re just they’re horrible so there’s
a way to weed through the Clickbank and
I’m gonna do a separate video on that
probably Monday that video is gonna come
out it’s gonna be how to analyze
Clickbank offers to find good offers but
again it’s not a goal to find a good
offer it’s a goal to think about your
audience that you’re being of service to
what do they need what problems are they
trying to solve what goals are they try
to achieve and then what things
information and physical products will
help them get there and that’s how I use
Clickbank right so I use Clickbank to
find those things that my audience
already wants and desires I don’t go
look broadly on Clickbank be like oh
what what offers are converting I’m like
what would my audience want that’s
proven to convert so I just want to make
sure that’s really important there and
then step 5 so the last step in this is
to optimize your key conversion points
now your key conversion points are
everything from the click on the search
engine page right so the the headline on
this video you notice I got the little
eyeballs on this one it’s pretty full
like like what you add as excuse me what
you add as the title is probably the
biggest thing that’s gonna either get
the click or get somebody to skip over
you and click on your competitors link
that click-through rate from the search
engine page has a huge determination on
how high up you rank in the search
engines if you get more clicks by having
a kick-butt title you’re going to rank
higher and you’ll get more attention
tada
and if you get more attention you have
the opportunity to get more of
everything else then your thumbnail
video is one of the things if you’re
here on YouTube so optimizing all those
conversion points and I’m talking all
the way from the the little things on
the front end to your opt-in offer to
the headline on your opt-in page the
layout of your opt-in page the the words
you have on your pop-up the offer you’re
giving away via your pop-up you gotta
test those things so on the miles
bechler brand I tested a three abundance
meditation at one point there was a
facebook case study so I’ve tried
several things before I came to that
free course that was the the seven step
process from site hustle to million
dollar business that converted the best
boom now with all the traffic I’m
already getting and my attention level
the number of people making it on my
list the interest level has gone up
because the page that bridges that gap
my opt-in page converts at a higher
percentage same amount of traffic here
now I’m getting more people here because
I got a better conversion which also
means that in my email sequence here I’m
getting more people because I got more
from here to here more from here to here
so I get more people reading my emails
which means more people can take action
right so off the little
weeks and you don’t need to start there
you need to start by ninety a challenge
to getting the content out getting going
and then just getting your first lead
magnet out getting your first giveaway
out your first funnel built then doing
some email you can go back and tweak
things over time the best thing I ever
did was started publishing for the miles
back to brand on YouTube and stuck with
it like if there’s no big thing I’ve
done it’s it’s all these micro things
none of my videos have gone viral none
of my videos have had massive success by
any means but I put out a lot of videos
that have each done pretty well and I
build enough trust with how I deliver
content that a lot of people reach in my
email list because my offer is pretty
good they’re people like my daily emails
because I’m uplifting I’m giving a ton
of value to my email list so
everything’s working because I’m putting
in so much effort and so much energy
nothing big it’s a lot of little stuff
um also look at your emails as ways to
test things every subject line that you
have is actually a headline and it’s a
headline test and I test little short
one word in toward headlines or email
subject lines that that are very
curiosity inducing and then I do some
very direct like you will learn how to
boom in this one and I go back and I
look at the numbers like like and then I
try to analyze why did that work why
didn’t that work
who split test your follow-up emails you
can look back at your follow-up emails
as well that is page two of the
curriculum and at this point wow I want
to congratulate you guys so so little
round of applause if you’re still here
and you haven’t hit the thumbs up hit
the thumbs up good on you would that
take so that’s it longer than than
expected to get through the actual
curriculum we got questions everywhere I
got a sheet of them if you were on if
you’re on my email list you know that I
asked you for your questions yesterday
so if you’re not on my email list one of
the benefits is when I do these lives I
will get your questions first before
getting the questions from the chat
right there’s a lot of questions in chat
I don’t know if we’re going to get
through those because my email
subscribers get priority so now I’ve
pulled up on my computer which is right
here so I’m not not paying attention to
you I’m just on my computer I’ve got a
list of questions and we’re gonna
rapid-fire through these but I need a
little bit of water and I definitely
need a little coffee to keep this energy
up then I’m
so stoked to have you guys here that’s
pretty awesome I feel like we’ve got a
great group of people here interesting
thank you guys very much for being here
so I’m gonna jump right in to these
questions and then all I’ll see if we’ve
got time I can’t go over to ours YouTube
does not allow my full video to upload
if it’s over two hours so I gotta stop
it like an hour fifty nine or else it
cuts the front off and it’s just really
confusing in the future so if you’ve got
questions about the tactics the nuts and
bolts the things that I talked about the
three pillars content marketing strategy
how to do SEO I just saw a question on
how do you SEO Rafi look in the
description of this video in the
description one of the first links is
going to be a new blog post to prepare
for this live stream I wrote the most
epic blog post I’ve ever personally
written 100% written by myself I’m super
proud of it all my emails that I’ve been
writing every day have helped me kind of
become a better writer i’ma talk about
that in the future and this is being
recorded so you can watch it um but the
first link is miles becker comm forward
slash make money with affiliate
marketing click on that link it’ll load
a version of what we just covered and at
the bottom and throughout there’s all
kinds of links to how to do SEO how do
you keyword research how to run a
Facebook ad how to build your funnel
it’s those links are also in the
description of this video you’ll notice
so if you click those links they should
all be set to open in a new tab you
shouldn’t lose me but if you want to
wait just do that there just know it’s
there my SEO videos crushing it I’m
sitting on top of YouTube for learn SEO
for SEO course and SEO training
those are huge keyword phrase I’m out
link I’m out ranking people who charge a
lot of money for courses which is why I
don’t recommend you use courses because
I’m better than most of them and I teach
it all for free so just share my stuff
and help me get the word out on this so
people stop wasting their money on those
overpriced ass courses sorry
for the bomb but those the fake gurus
and even the real gurus it just kills me
man the two thousand hour course things
just so annoying little rapid-fire these
questions a lot of them we’ve covered I
pulled out the ones I knew we would
cover I’m gonna rapid-fire these then
I’m gonna get to you guys in the
comments I see the chat just flowin and
I love it so thank you guys everyone in
there on the comments like Cheers on you
Saturday morning whatever may be its
center
night wherever you’re at good on you so
here we go there’s a lot of courses and
digital products in my niche should I
review them on my blog even though the
search volume is often low yes because
that means the competitions also gonna
be low and you need to put out a piece
of content every day for the next three
years so get to it start reviewing
everything the best way to do it is to
review the things that you have right I
put out a lot of content that doesn’t
review affiliate things I put out a lot
of content like this that gives a ton of
value so when I do make the review and
I’m like yo check out the review because
this thing was hot you’re like well I
believe Myles like like he’s real deal
so don’t just do reviews mix in the
value also but yeah review everything go
forth especially things you bought and
used start there that’s the key what’s
the best way to ask for a trial of a
product to get an honest review without
having to buy ask them you’re probably
not going to get it you’re probably
gonna have to buy a lot of things it’s
tax deductible that’s kind of the cost
of doing business can you learn enough
about a product through research and
through reading reviews to write a good
review on it of course you can but it’s
gonna work best when you actually get
your hands on it do a video with it do
podcasts about it do pictures of it with
you on it it just becomes that much more
believable and that’s what the top
affiliates are definitely doing I’m new
to affiliate marketing but I’ve been
successful running Facebook and Google
ad traffic for years so I’m not new to
driving traffic awesome
is it smarter to promote a CPA which is
cost-per-acquisition with a low again
stream ads or should I go with a higher
EPC clickbank offer but it of that all
right so you know the answer to this
already
you gotta test it mate there’s no way to
know you actually just do both see which
one’s gives you a better ROI and do more
of that that’s how the whole
pay-per-click game works and you know
that as a pay-per-click advertiser so do
the work test both build funnels out for
both both see what converts better what
gives you a better ROI hey maybe they’re
both giving you positive ROI and you
could scale both of them boom you don’t
listen to me tell you to do one when
both could work right test it let the
data guide you what kind of affiliate
marketing campaigns convert the best I
mean if you compare for example an email
core blog post and a YouTube video which
one is the most effective the most
effective is the one that’s most fun for
you to create right for me my videos do
really well but my emails also do really
well
it’s about I want you to think of a
filly at campaign as a multimedia
experience so when I did that launch on
that the the copywriting course like
it’s no I did one thing it was like okay
I’m gonna put that one piece up no I did
everything I wrote a blog post about it
I did write a blog post I didn’t mention
that earlier so I wrote a blog post
about it I did a video about it I did a
couple of emails my emails one of them
at least one maybe two direct link it
linked but I think one or two one link
back to the video and then one link back
to the blog post so do everything do all
of the things is the key at what point
in my new website should I start adding
affiliate links is there a traffic
number doesn’t even matter it really
doesn’t matter I would just make sure
you have a bunch of core content that
your website looks like a real website
right you’ve got about page you’ve got a
lot of good content I would say five six
eight posts minimum so when they go to
your blog roll because an affiliate
manager when you ask to get approved to
their program they’re gonna go look at
your site they’re gonna go make sure
you’re real and they want to know that
you’re a real person they wanna they
want to make sure you’re not going to
kind of butcher their brand because when
you like let’s say I’m let’s say I have
a product and I’m like you can go permit
the miles Becker product and you go to
Google and you’re like is miles better
or a scam right and that’s how you try
to get people into my product like
you’re killing my brand dog like I’m
never gonna let you do that so so they
want to make sure you’re not one of
those affiliates so build out a lot of
good content but you can start day one
if it really works I’m just wondering
how long do you need to build an
audience is it just a 90 day challenge
it doesn’t matter right like like what
if it takes you five years to build an
audience that generates twenty three
thousand dollars per month and you can
live on that for the rest of your life
you’re not gonna do the work says five
years of work what else you need to work
at a normal job for 40 years at a desk
in a court of God like it takes as long
as it takes so the sooner you get
started and the more passion and more
momentum you can build quickly the the
faster you will get there but it just
who cares how long it takes like this
lifestyle like it took me I’m like
eighteen year I’m almost twenty years in
the internet marketing game you think
I’m like sad because it took me 20 years
to get to this point my career Hale no
it took me 10 years to go full-time
online you think I’m sad no I got
friends stuck in cubicles still they
make good money I got friends maybe two
three four hundred dollars an hour but
like they are stuck in a cubicle they’re
stuck in courtrooms they’re doing their
legal that like
I got the lifestyle freedom if I want to
go to Bali next week I’m gonna go to
Bali next week I’m bring my business
with me I’ll bring you I’ll write a
story around it I’ll make even more
money through that story this way so
just do what it takes I’m is the
affiliate marketing model still a viable
business model I think we’ve proven
absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt
we’ve got to build it the right way
gotta build an audience you have to be
of service to an audience at scale that
that’s the key I’m just wondering we’re
here now should I sell products around
my market or niche or can I venture out
I believe this was Jacqueline to the
beauty health and what kind of posts
relevance is absolutely key if you’ve
built a website on writing for example
and you start talking about hair care
products people are gonna be like really
like there’s gonna be no relevance so
yes relevant relevant relevant that’s
part of why I made my main site miles
vector com because at some point if I
want to get into like building hot rods
and drift cars that’s me that’s what I’m
doing I can document that I could build
a little silo that’s totally out of this
space and I could document and I could I
could actually build around that and
that’s because it’s me and it’s person
that’s why I chose the miles vector comm
name is it gave me the most flexibility
moving forward but yeah once you’re once
you’re in a very specific vertical
maintain relevance because everything
works better with relevance which is
better for long-term Commission’s Amazon
affiliate networks I Clickbank
Commission Junction etc it doesn’t
matter the network it matters the
products that your audience wants but
they already want what they are what
will actually help them get the desire
what what company they have chosen to
manage their affiliate program is
insignificant right where that affiliate
program lies it doesn’t matter it’s
about the product and it’s about the
relevance of that product to the actual
results that they desire so it’s not
about that how do I use Amazon on my
Christian blog or should I so when
you’re asking me if you should this
clearly means that you somehow feel like
there’s like like affiliate marketing is
kind of scammy and if you understand
that you’re being of service to an
audience at scale and that’s your job
and that’s your goal and that’s what
you’re doing you’re truly moving forward
being of service to them of course you
should like these people everyone around
you your network though the whole world
is spending like there is a multi
trillion dollar per day economy flowing
around
is transacting all around you in the
millions and billions and trillions of
dollars every day all you’re doing is
connecting people who want something –
people who sell that thing they don’t
know about them they want you to help
them find them Bing and you connect them
how you connect them through you through
your content through giving value
through building a list through email
etc that’s how it works so of course you
should and I don’t know you should
promote like what do like to me when you
say Christian bloggers I don’t even know
what that means right like Christian
people make smoothies Christian people
play golf right like like go deeper
don’t don’t think there’s this thing
that’s like you know like it’s not you
versus the world here in any way shape
or form like what do Christian people
that are on your blog like what do they
do or they want what kind of goals do
they have like they’ll find those things
and like it’s crosses for the wall great
if it’s like jewelry with crucifix on
awesome I don’t know like you need to
know your audience though um but it’s
it’s just just make sure it’s of being
of service to them next I noticed that
many bloggers who live off of filip
marketing offer inferior products I
won’t say the one you gave an example of
but you’re right that is a very inferior
product because they bur ring high
mention the same token almost all
affiliate offers I find on Clickbank
catalogs seem questionable at the least
I’ve got one that I’ve been running for
several years it’s actually a really
good item so there are some good ones
hidden in there you just got to learn
how to sort through which is why I’m
gonna do that Clickbank video Monday so
here’s my question would you say it’s
possible to find enough high value good
quality of affiliate info products to
make a living absolutely absolutely
hundred percent so what what catalogs
and marketplaces do you recommend
finding them again you go find the
audience you can be of service to figure
out what their needs are through giving
content answering the comments engaging
with them and then go find the products
that will help them solve their problems
and achieve their goals it’s not the
network it’s about the people you’re
helping you have to go be a problem
solver at scale all that should have
made it in the curriculum part somebody
missed that that’s the quote you as an
affiliate marketer your job is to be a
problem solver at scale that’s what
you’re doing you’re helping hundreds of
thousands or millions of people solve
problems could be small problems could
be big problems you could have a small
amount of people solve a really big
problem and make a ton of money you
could help a big amount of people solve
a really small problem and make a ton of
money but your job is to really help
them solve their problems so that’s
that’s the key for the autoresponder
sequence before the daily emails how
should they
structured and how long test it really
doesn’t matter I do one email after my
here’s your thing that you asked for my
wife does nine emails that now wanders
them through a little bit of a segment
just test it it’s if it’s ever if your
autoresponder will always evolve they’ll
the best thing you can come up with
today get right back to your main core
content go revisit it in three months
look at what work look at what got good
open rates look what got good click
rates look at what got that open rates
and what got bad click rates and adjust
on the fly man we’ve gone back to look
at ours after not looking it for six
months to be like oh god our email
series was horrible like some of the
things we said like do we really say
that like I deleted one and like one
promised something on the next email
that didn’t actually show up and we
resist but we still like their business
in class like we just got to keep taking
imperfect action like that’s really the
key to it all and good on you so you
you’ve been building your list it’s up
to 50 people now that’s awesome
just keep going watch monitor your open
rates and on your broadcast to monitor
your open rates look at the percentages
of opens and when you see something at a
high percentage of open don’t just go
stuff that in your autoresponder take a
moment to think why first you always got
to think why what’s the psychological
reason that that actually happened
because it’s the psychological reasons
see emotional reasons that that trigger
people to action affiliate marketing
viable business yes it is is this
something newbies with no marketing
experience can get into with hard work
and succeed absolutely might take you
three five ten years but you hundred
percent you could actually absolutely do
it
well advice would you give a complete
beginner who’s working full-time and
looking to supplement their income so I
kept this question and I feel like I
answered it in very clear detail so if
you’re working full time niche out like
wake up earlier right if you work like
nine to five and you’re currently
working waking up at seven wake up at
five o’clock everyday before the kids
wake up before the wife wakes up before
anybody else wakes up and put it to
works two hours of work every morning
before you leave it’ll be the most
productive time get up hit the coffee
pot slam a big ol mug of coffee I prefer
one this size gigantic mug of coffee and
then put in two hours of solid work
creating content then when everybody
goes to bed on the other end put in two
more hours there and see if you can
sneak out a half hour on your lunch
break from work if you do that you’re
putting in four and a half hours a day
multiply that by five that’s over 20
hours a week if you can do that on the
weekends also you’re doing about
hours a week boom you’re on the path so
just niche out the time schedule the
time to create the content and do what
it effing takes it’s a lot of work but
think about your reason why think about
your family think about those reasons
why you’re doing it because you gotta
have a big reason why you’re gonna push
through because it’s hard alarm goes off
at five o’clock in the morning who the
hell wants to get up at 5:00 in morning
somebody who’s ready to put in the work
to create the lifestyle freedom that
they desire somebody who’s like I’m
gonna be able to go build my business in
Europe in in Australia in New Zealand in
Hawaii if you want like cheap beaches
expensive beaches I’ve seen them all
around the world I kind of like the more
expensive ones so guess what I do the
work so I can go to the expensive ones I
like New Zealand beaches which are a lot
more expensive than Bali beaches so I do
the work I like Costa Rica more than I
like Nicaragua it’s way more expensive
so what I do I do the work so I can go
to the ones I want to go to but that’s
my why I don’t know what your why is so
you’ve got to have that why you gotta
get some leverage on yourself dawna just
said has like choke on coffee Don just
said so many people put in 60 to 80
hours at a job so why not for yourself
and that’s the key and if you already
have 40 plus 1050 with commute to the
job like like you have to niche them out
for yourself it’s there’s like this
common the the richest man in Babylon
right save 10 percent of everything you
earn put it away for yourself pay
yourself first right do that with your
energy also don’t just do that with the
money that comes in from you jail be do
that with your energy also and you’ll be
amazed at what you can create because
saving money’s great investing is great
I love it I do it but the time and
energy I’ve invested in my internet
business and in these three brands and
my wife and I run has paid off like
better than any freaking like oh I put
$100 in cryptocurrency he’s like not
even close
how many affiliate offer how many
affiliate offers whoo all right Wow
we’re back how many affiliate marketing
offers should one have in order to be
successful well it’s at least one and
it’s probably gonna be more than one so
keep going until you find that magic
number for you there’s no set number how
many affiliate links should be on one
page or post I don’t know how many does
it take is it a specific post about one
thing or is it a review of the top 10
blender so this is a review the top ten
blenders I would have 10 affiliate links
if it’s one blender I would probably
have the link in there twice is it best
to make a page or a post about each
affiliate offer or just from a
the opt-in page through a video or
Facebook ad so if you’re doing a
Facebook guy go to the opt-in page but
also put in the time to create the
content to attract people from the
search engines so do both right I use
posts on my wordpress blog for all of my
content is it how do we get affiliate
offers when your brand newbies create a
great site build lots of content go
apply for the affiliate program and
you’re in how do we get good affiliate
offers when you don’t have a lot of
traffic okay I just answer that
literally that same one I’m started a
funnel you getting opt-ins but your
emails are going to the spam folder how
do you avoid this make sure it’s an at
your domain email address make sure that
you are using like a link redirect like
pretty links and I’ll put out a video to
really make sure we talk about how to
get your e mails in the inbox because if
your emails aren’t getting to the
primary inbox you’re not getting noticed
and your you’re missing out on the
interest and the desire because getting
no attention how am i dealing with
changes in the EU like GD P R what
changes have been made so if you go to
my website go to Mom’s backer column
just notice up top affiliate disclosure
first thing I put a huge bar up top it
has all my legal documents at the very
top is impossible for someone to say I
went to Myles his website and I couldn’t
see his disclosures bull the right up
top there the biggest boldest brightest
thing on my website so that’s what I did
and I bought the documents the GD P our
documents I’ve got them reviewed on my
website somewhere I know you prefer to
build and nurture your list before
presenting them with an offer but what
is the best strategy to approach a Cole
market in your industry
well you build a list through the cold
market you turn cold people into warm
people and then warm people into sales
and that is your list so don’t think I’m
saying like there’s never gonna be a
point where like oh yeah okay you can
send cold traffic there no no build a
list build a relationship add value to
their lives offer them things they
already want to buy when promoting a
product is our price point high low does
it matter what step in the value ladder
it doesn’t it based on the niche the
problem it’s a big problem for people
and they’re ready to solve it though
they’re willing to spend lots of money
for that our large brands such as Apple
interested in affiliate marketing not
directly but you could sell Apple
products through the Amazon program as
an affiliate and I think Apple likes
every sale that they get is Clickbank
good for beginners no network is good
for a beginner what’s good for a
beginner is realizing that you have to
give value to an audience I’m what niche
would you look at as a beginner
something you love something that your
heart is in do I recommend starting out
with promoting physical or digital
products buh
try both see what works what’s the best
way to get accepted by affiliate
networks put out a lot of great content
first and then reach out you don’t want
to depend just on Amazon and put all
your eggs in one basket are there any
other big enough sites with affiliate
programs that you can compete audio
recording equipment is your niche so
absolutely like B&H; photo video is one
go Google the products right so let’s
say you want a Google audio technica
whatever these headphones are there’s
like 300 our headphones or something
right
so go Google them look who comes up on
Google Shopping go to every single
merchants website and then look at the
bottom see if they have an affiliate
link in the footer
then go search their domain name in
Google with comma affiliates see if they
have an affiliate program you’ll be
amazed like everyone in the world has
affiliate programs on a hunch I think
augment link might actually have some
good programs commission junction
probably some good programs but yeah
just go do hit the Google and see what
the Google says how do you sign up for
affiliate marketing with a website host
or manufacturer is it a formal agreement
between both parties something
automatically picked up from online SEO
software so you you have to register
that’s some way you have to go to click
a button on their website and you fill
out an application they’re gonna want
your tax information so if you don’t
have a business then you would use your
social security number if you’re here in
the United States view a business you
probably an EIN which is an employee
identification number which is so you
can give them that instead of your
social and that’s so they can report for
taxes right and generally they won’t pay
you over 600 hours until you file a w-9
but they’ll ask for that usually it’s
what’s your name what’s your address
what’s your phone number what’s your tax
information what’s your website and any
special notes you fill that out it’ll
either auto approve you or they’ll put
you in a queue the affiliate manager
will review and then they’ll send you
access you to log in dashboard you log
in you can go get your links they’ll use
the up banner ads and other things for
you to do I have a content funnel to
drive conversion from information to
warm leads and even sales so it’s it’s
the pop-up it’s getting them on my list
and then sending them through the list
how do you research a topic in your
niche that you can provide good value to
your list as long as you can promote a
relevant product so go to the library I
get a library card go to library read
five books on the topic and you will
probably know more than most people in
the world on set topic right the best
blog post in the world your future self
will thank you it takes a ton of work I
get it yeah it’s a lot of work but
you will have created the best post in
the world Google likes finding the best
post world now go do that 400 times and
tada you will have an absolute behemoth
of a website if it sounds like a lot of
work it is that’s why I said it
beginning it’s a lot of work do you have
to use nofollow links everywhere and
disclose everywhere nofollow links I do
all my affiliate links are nofollow
links which means the search engines
don’t give my SEO value through that
link I have one big disclosure on the
top of my website to cover everything
three more questions here then we’re
going in the comments I’m still with you
I promise in my videos and posts I don’t
recommend the make money online
affiliate offers because it’s so
competitive so do I think they’re asking
if I think they should focus on health
and fitness relationships Beauty etc
instead what are good alternatives to
make money online what do you love to do
like like go deeper than that if you
want to do to make money online like
that’s so difficult like to me it’s
about like you you would need a subset
low so how single moms can make money
online is one of those things right but
the whole mom blog world is so crowded
already like it’s so difficult so then
it’s like well could you digital
marketing for real estate agents could
you do digital marketing for plumbers
that’s a way to kind of blend some of
this stuff with that that would be a
little easier because it gonna be less
people teaching digital marketing for
plumbers and there are people like me
teaching keyword research I mean if you
want to go in the ring after keyword
research and like look at the keywords I
have in the title here like if you want
to go for it like give it a shot like
I’m not trying to discourage you but
like know that you’re gonna be going up
against some of the best in the world
and me and I’m not the best in the world
I’m trying to be the most helpful in the
world but I am NOT ranking some pretty
good people for some pretty big SEO
keyword phrases at this point so that’s
one of the big challenges here so
ultimately I just think it works best
when you find a really subset like my
friend who combined Fitness for dressage
riding like I can’t even explain how
much they’re crushing it like their
numbers are so big in such a short
period of time because no one was being
of service to that audience that’s the
real trick they found an underserved
audience and they’ve created killer
content and she absolutely loves it you
could see it in her eyes
when she’s with her heart like her
horses like you could just see every
aspect of her life is dedicated to that
horse and horse people are crazy just
like crazy in a good way
just like golf people are crazy in a
good way just like gun people are crazy
in a good way like there’s all there’s
so many of these ear
passionately passionate is actually the
better term right there they’re
irrationally passionate which is a good
thing because when they start to find
you and you got tons of content they’re
like I love this so so find when you
find and under serve the audience life
gets a lot easier and I think it’s worth
digging into you deeper to find what you
love and where that overlaps with an
underserved audience because your future
self will thank you because you’ll get
to the money you’ll get to the
successful business much more quickly
with a lot less failures do you have to
have a huge email subscriber list to get
it accepted in affiliate marketing firms
no you don’t have to have a list at all
they can’t see your list size they don’t
care often can you still make six
figures income in the fitness niche
selling Clickbank products the last one
the answer is yes of course you can
takes a lot of work it’s not easy but
you can do it whoo all right so there we
go
um we got this going here so I’m gonna
find this Dave guys so it sounds like
Dave’s causing a little bit of a ruckus
here so put him in timeout no he’s done
from the channel forever so there we go
if anybody else is um causing a ruckus
in here like be sure to mark them as
spam or something like I’ll swing that
banhammer fast and they’ll never be able
to comment on my channel again and
that’s that’s just fun and easy for me
so I am now with you in the comments I’m
going back to the top on the scroll down
and we’re gonna hit these I’m gonna wrap
this dude I got coffee I got some water
I got an extra backup water
I don’t drink the Lacroix like this
bubbly water peach pear oh my god was my
hit right there that’s mine does my job
um it’s Malaysia India Nashville Italia
Biloxi yeah there we go Denver I’m just
kind of reading through the comments so
at this point I’ve gone through my email
list subscriber comments we’ve gone
through the curriculum you know that the
links in the description are designed to
give you all the nuts and bolts things
because I can’t show you step-by-step
right now I’ve got hundreds of videos
that show you all the nuts and bolts of
how to build a funnel all the how to set
up your email campaigns all that’s out
there so you got to dig in deeper so if
you want maybe you can copy those links
YouTube doesn’t let you copy the
description really well but the first
link is a miles Becker com forward slash
make money with affiliate marketing I
think dashes in between it’s the newest
blog post if you go to Myles Becker comm
scroll down below my headshot on the
home page
and the first blog post is not post all
those links are in that post and at the
bottom so that’s all the how-to stuff
and I’m going to go into the comments I
want to answer questions I’m like I got
40 minutes more and like might as well
just do everything I can to give
absolutely as much value as I can again
no pitches no wrapping this up no fake
scarcity no need for that stuff like I’m
trying to be a leader in the sense that
I want you to watch what I’m doing and I
hope you’re having a little bit of a ha
moment of like wow this guy miles is
doing things a little bit different than
most the other people who rank for how
to affiliate marketing right cuz they’re
all like oh yeah look at me bro life’s
cool my Porsche and my Ferrari my Lambo
bought cash for yeah man Bali like none
I don’t care about any of that right
like what I care about is making sure
you get the result that you want and
when you feel that and you know that
bingo there’s a new level of trust there
and when I don’t end it with almost
teaching you everything and then like
okay now just now just opt in for the
real answer right then I throw you in a
funnel and when I avoid doing all of
that with you the trust factors goes up
so I mentioned this because I want you
to do this for your audience because
there’s a lot of rubbish marketers
trying to be of service to your audience
but they’re really actually just trying
to sell people and when you come
out as a person who’s actually being
helpful and actually being like an
advocate for them and a trusted advisor
for them you stand out it doesn’t it’s
not a big thing my channel has never
done that at all and it won’t i won’t
have things go viral because of this
approach but what happens is people find
me they watch a video they’re who this
guy wow that was cool they watch another
video many people go on a little binge
watch and then they’re hook they are
they’re like miles becker fans and then
what’s really cool is you start to share
my videos you share it socially you
share in facebook groups when someone’s
like hey anybody know about instagram
marketing i boom check out miles this
video and you send a link for me and
that is really my ultimate long-term
goal and that’s how i’m thrilled in this
freight train of emotion or of momentum
freight trains don’t get going quick but
when they’re going you are not gonna
stop a freight train and that’s what i’m
building and it takes a long time so i
mean 90 days I did 120 videos and 120
days and I didn’t even have 500
subscribers at the end of a hundred and
twenty videos in 120 days that’s an
average of like four subscribers per
video most people would have quit at
that point but I knew where I was going
I knew where I’d be in this moment now I
just chugga-chugga-chugga you know
this locomotive keeps going and just the
momentum is growing and growing and
growing getting more reach every day
from YouTube I’m getting more engagement
every day which gets me more reach again
I’m putting out more new videos which
reach more people it’s just this this
big kind of upwelling of awesomeness and
I want you to do that for your people
too if you notice my channel very few of
my videos are promoting something I had
no ads it’s sometimes difficult for
people to find how to help me obtain
money right like I almost hide my
affiliate stuff my affiliate links and
that’s on purpose because I my goal is
to be the most helpful internet marketer
in the world and the most helpful
internet marketer in the world won’t
just spam links to you they will give
you knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb
whoo all right off the soapbox let’s
switch up here we’re gonna keep this
party going I love all the thumbs ups
and the muscles and the emojis it’s
awesome how do I build a list to use
WordPress as the destination by my DIY
sales funnel video series just search
DIY sales funnel and I literally show
you step by step in the course of the
first video show you how to make an
affiliate funnel but I’ve got like a
nine video funnel that will show you
everything that you need to know all the
way to building a membership program or
whatever cool we got a lot of people
answering other people’s questions I
love it beginner businessman what if the
thing I’ve been doing the past years is
learning and reading about marketing
consumer behavior
you find yourself trapped in the make
money group and you can’t find how to
stand out yeah yeah and so totally like
so a who can you apply that to this
being underserved right but be that I
mean that’s that’s the ultimate trap
right you go down the rabbit hole and
make money online you spend three four
five six years there then you got people
like me who’ve been down that rabbit
hole for like twenty years
that’s the challenge in that space so
take a couple steps back what did you do
before you went down that make money
online trap like if you had a hundred
grand a year coming in as eight thousand
dollars per month eight thousand three
hundred thirty three dollars and 33
cents every single month right that’s
about $2,100 per week every single week
in your bank account if that was your
life what would you do what would you
want to do who would you be of service
to what would you play with would you
build drones or their games you like
like really truly get introspective and
like what would you do with your free
time if you had a lifestyle that
afforded you more free time without
having spent all your free time looking
at how to make money
and it’s challenging to break out of
that mind bubble but once you do you’ll
see I mean I used to love BMX bikes
right like I got a pump track bought my
house I’m about to get a nice uh like
probably a dirt jumper bike or like an
adult sized BMX bike so rode BMX bikes
all growing up as a kid like what is
that thing were you a skater like like I
don’t know find that thing you love and
that you’re willing to do and play and
document and create and apply everything
that you’re learning to that you can
just speed up the process so much
so Kelly Walker off topic what am I
using now the board booster shut down
we’re moving over to tailwind I will put
my affiliate link if you’re interested
I’m getting started on tailwind that’s
for Pinterest Kile why there you go so
yeah we’re migrating over to tailwind
right now and I’m I have to like learn
do teach right so I’m learning how to
operate this new software we’re
implementing it as we speak and then I’m
gonna be able to teach you so I’m gonna
teach it at some point but I can’t just
like put up a video day one like we’re
over here now without actually giving
value of how to build it and how we’re
doing it so that that’s kind of where
I’m at at this point cool I’m loving all
the the capella thinking as I’m
scrolling through the comments just
looking for it I dig it you play the
long game Mike I totally do
there’s huge learning curve but once you
get through it’s amazing absolutely all
right I’m gonna do kind of a bigger
scroll here the copywriting course I was
talking about was called the vs elevator
accelerator it’s closed now at this
point do I recommend project bla bla bla
by bla bla bla no definitely not I don’t
recommend many things at all if you want
to see what I recommend go to Myles
Becker comm up top there’s recommended
tools and recommended resources those
are really the only things I use and
recommend hey miles how do you show up
on Google for YouTube videos I mean just
follow the basic SEO if you go search on
youtube for learn SEO not logged in I
think my video shows up on the first
page of Google which gets a ton of
traffic so yeah just you just gotta
apply good SEO I’ve got several how to
learn SEO it’s actually a playlist on my
channel this will be recorded so we can
rewatch it
good I’m glad you like the SEO video how
long does organic content take these
days to build an audience it takes as
long as it takes it depends on the
competition of the niche it depends on
your how eloquent you are of a writer
how good you are at keyword research and
SEO and do you have an authority side
that you’re relying on so my wife can
publish a blog post for a medium
challenging keyword phrase and it’ll hit
the first page of Google within a day
but she’s been doing it for nine years
so like just it takes as long as it
takes it’s worth it in a long time so
yeah somebody’s like seriously $5,000
later and I’ve learned more through
miles as videos than others
so cheers it does it takes a bit of time
my my videos aren’t super well organized
and if I was to take time to build
everything out in slideshows and really
organize them I’d be charging $400,000
for access and I don’t want to do that
so I just let people kind of get access
to to get to the content so so those who
are willing to dig in and hustle and go
down the rabbit hole I just want to make
sure that it’s there for them my cuerto
says breathe Myles breathe I’m I’ll
breathe later got time for that
Jimmy Choo oh welcome to party man glad
to see you here website that takes
automated aggregated video so this guy’s
saying there’s a website that takes
automated aggregated videos and embeds
it on their own website no words that
they show up on first place that do
those scamming things are gonna get
booted from the search engine at some
point they’re not on WordPress does that
matter WordPress was all it matters to
me
personally what do I think about passing
vendor and sales page straight to the
checkout cart
Andrae style so what they’re asking is
so generally on the vendor website
they’re gonna have like a sales page and
a checkout page and they’re asking like
can you do the pre selling and the
selling and link them directly to the
checkout page and set it to the sales
page I don’t know test it right use a
separate tracking ID which you should be
able to add in if you’re thinking of an
advanced strategy like this you know how
to add a tracking ID to it set your
tracking setup a campaign run it see
which one converts better do what the
data says works better what tax
structure do I recommend for affiliates
so start off as a sole proprietor just
start right I only built a corporation
which is an
s-corporation eight years seven years
and a bit now yes six years into
building our business when we realized
that if we wanted to buy a house we
would need to pay ourselves that was
really kind of one of the triggers and
self-employment tax was really starting
to become a very large number for us so
you don’t need to set up a structure at
first to run an affiliate business you
can operate as a sole proprietor based
off of your social security number
that’s how my wife and I operate it for
many years so the goal is to move
forward and start making money and prove
that you can do it and you’re gonna be
in it for the long term not spending
three grand on building an LLC on
something you haven’t even proven like
have you created 120 pieces of content
yet like that’s more important than
building a structure Marcus Carvalho
you’ve been in a lot of multi-level scam
trainings and actually for watching
these videos you’ve decided to learn by
yourself good man following all videos
cheers man if I could break people free
from those scam circles and there’s some
very honorable ones too but man there’s
too many too many scams here’s the
kicker they have not made their own
videos they just repost videos yeah I
get it I know there’s people scraping
I’m starting to Rafi a Matthias
there’s people scraping my videos and
publishing them on their blogs and I
report them to their hosts and I get
them shut down all the time as a DMCA
which is a digital marketing Copyright
Act so if you’re reposted like if you’re
opposing my stuff you put content around
it you add a link to miles bechler and
you give me kudos and shouts out good on
you if you’re scraping my content and
rhe publishing it without permission I’m
gonna go to your house and I’m gonna get
you banned so just know that that’s
there and I think I think you should do
that too how do you create a sales
funnel on Shopify I don’t I would add a
wordpress and I would create it on
WordPress I don’t use Shopify I don’t
like Shopify I don’t think Shopify makes
sense
Kevin Jones I like that man if you don’t
do something nothing happens
like it is that simple so go do lots of
things and lots of things happen what’s
my opinion on resources pages they can
work and see if it ranks give it a shot
in other words don’t enter the arena
with a lottery mentality 100% Tanisha
like hundred percent we’re not escaping
putting the work that’s not the goal the
goal is to go be of service to an
audience and to align with the right
audience and the right niche to where
you wake up every day stoked like lit a
welcome like 5:30 or 6:00 this morning
just all like being like birds chirping
I’m like yeah I get to do my live today
I
knowledge bonds because my goal right
now in this moment is like literally I
want to make the most comprehensive
learn how to do affiliate marketing
video that YouTube has ever seen because
when I do that right I get a thumbs up
from you because you hit the thumbs up
right so hit the thumbs up then YouTube
will be like damn this is by far the
best video it’s longer it’s got more
optimized text it’s got a better title
it’s getting more engagement in a
shorter period of time boom we’re gonna
show this to everyone in the future her
searches learn SEO or excuse me learn
how to do affiliate marketing forget
what video I’m making then I now reach
hundreds of thousands if not millions of
people over the next couple of years
with a video I did today on this day
right so that’s my goal and I’m excited
to put that out cuz I hate to be a value
to you and these random people I’ve
never met the future they don’t even
know who I am
they’re finding all the fake gurus right
now they’re about to find the miles back
there at some point be like whoa this
dude’s real deal and it’s just fun I
love it
Mike’s junk zero zero I recommend Aweber
to be honest for beginners um I’m gonna
send you the affiliate link if you’re
open to that and I got a video on how to
set it up how to set up so you can have
a follow up sequence that then migrates
people over to a broadcast list that’s
in the DIY sales funnel video series I
Tuesday Weber as my recommendation
because it’s easy to set up it’s one of
the most functional and it inboxes
better than anyone I’m on active
campaign also got to move myself off I
got I got trapped on active campaign and
you’ll find this when you move grow your
business at some point you you can make
a decision to align with a software you
get trapped and it’s actually extremely
difficult to untrap yourself and go to
something simpler but my the miles
Becker list will absolutely be moving
over to Aweber again because of its
simplicity I tested it I got over 6%
increase in open rates and that so that
would mean if I’m get a 30 percent open
rate that means I probably got an 18
percent increase in deliverability rates
from Aweber to active campaign Aweber is
the og there’s a special if you follow
my link that will get you access to it
what is your why you are giving your
heart and soul my why’s me them Alex my
why is to be the most helpful internet
marketer in the world I’m leaving a
legacy on this planet I’m leaving a
legacy on YouTube and if and when I’m
not if when I’m gone so we all go at
some point right who knows when that is
like I just want to make sure that this
information is out there no one was
willing to
take the time to teach 18 year old miles
22 year old miles 26 year old miles how
to build a business online I had to
figure that out myself it was tough
and I went down the wrong path too many
times and I just kept buying these
products that were just rubbish man I
hated it like and I was like it was his
weird cycle I was in debt I had $50,000
a lot student loan debt I had a credit
card
I was buying courses on credit card
thinking and that was the secret and I’d
do what they said and then like the the
loophole would closed up and I make no
money and I go buy another course and I
was in the cycle for years like
literally for years and I it was such a
depressing and challenging point for me
that I had a point that I’ve had this
voice of like you got to teach what you
know you got to teach what you know and
it’s my wife’s like you’re you’re
teaching because for your 18 year old 19
20 year old self like on that’s why I’m
putting this out because of people like
you might be getting trapped in that
that loop of psychological necessity for
these fake gurus that’s all a big bunch
of baloney and they actually keep you
from doing the things that are important
so my mission is to help solve that
problem for you and I put that under the
banner of being the most helpful
internet marketing world I am NOT gonna
be the wealthiest internet marketer in
the world I’m not gonna show big ol
income reports from monthly not none of
that I don’t even care those that’s a
vanity metric that means nothing to me I
will be the most helpful internet market
in the world for sure that’s that’s why
I do this on a Saturday morning versus
hiking when I live in a very beautiful
place I could be three four six miles
deep in a canyon hanging out with cliff
dwellings right now but I chose to spend
the time here with you because that’s
what the most helpful internet marketer
in the world would do that’s what keeps
my going how people are like breathe nah
hell no time for breathing later this is
exciting this is my mouth sweet spot
right here y’all so I just scrolled down
and it just jumped all over the
questions so I’m gonna go to a new
section here let’s see oh cool all right
found it what’s your why I’m so I’m
going through we got about 30 minutes
left so if you got questions you can get
there and God can we retarget Instagram
account audience with a thousand
followers I don’t know maybe it doesn’t
matter like that doesn’t just build an
audience give them what they want like
miles you’re such great inspiration
Cheers Lee and I appreciate that
Rock the affiliate promotion for your
product Leeanne you
product what’s your product are you
thrive themes huh well I’m glad I I’m
glad I rocked the affiliate promotion
for your product I don’t know what
product is so and pop that in there
Liane if you’re around I’m sure cash any
comment on why a to s hosting downtime
constantly I haven’t had any downtime I
still run a site on a to I haven’t had
any downtime I would ask them to migrate
you to another server if that’s
something that you need but um I haven’t
noticed anything on my end you gotta
remember that that when you work with a
shared hosting company like you’re on
one of 1,000 2,000 3,000 machines so
what happens on one machine probably
doesn’t happen all the other machines
and if you’re driving a lot of traffic
says what happens on a shared server so
if you bought the cheapest hosting that
they offer that means they’re putting
you on with the most amount of people to
get the right value for the real estate
there that they can and their numbers
they run really well the EIG they stack
like ten times the amount of people on
the server if you need the next level
look at what’s called a virtual private
server it will cost you more you’re in
control
a lot more control in that situation
cost for 30 to 50 bucks a month at that
point but there’s you and there’s maybe
six people on the server instead of a
hundred or so but I haven’t noticed any
downtime personally so I’m not really
sure what to say on that cool I’m just
reading through the comments shirt cache
okay I see you’re too busy to answer any
real questions I’ll talk to you later
you don’t time to waste so man that’s
it’s so interesting when people get
frustrated when I’m putting my time out
but they’re actually never gonna be able
to comment again haha goats on the road
you shared my name channel’s site with
many thank you I appreciate that that’s
really what I’m after
emotional momentum that’s the trick
Derek question what do I think of
buzzsumo for influence or research so
you know buzzsumo i’ve tried it it
doesn’t work for our niche because our
niche is such like the angel meditation
space like we are the dominant force in
here so anything my search for like our
keywords it just shows us but I think
it’s you know potentially a useful tool
I think just searching the hashtags
right like just go look find the people
who are creating content they’re easy to
find they’re on they show up really well
on Facebook you can find them through a
Google search result who dominates in
the world of organic SEO you can find
them on YouTube by just searching for
the right keyword phrase on YouTube
and looking at the hashtags on Instagram
influencer marketing is weird a lot of
people paying for influence I have a
friend who sells fake likes and fake
engagement and fake followers he makes
150 thousand dollars a month and he has
people who buy likes they bought well
they buy follows then they put up a post
and they buy likes to the post and they
buy comments to the post and they resell
that for seven hundred to a thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars and they pay 150
in all that engagement and they make a
thousand dollars and there’s no real
engagement it looks like engagement and
there’s there’s nothing there I think
it’s I think it’s a terrible business I
don’t know sleeps at night but a lot of
people are doing that tarik Richardson
thanks for turning me on a keyword
finder yeah totally I like them in some
ways as much as a trust so it ought to
be honest Derek like a trust is the only
other tool I would consider using it’s
just too much I get lost in there I get
confused it’s literally too much and the
in at this point my business I realized
and I think this is really powerful for
you watching is simplicity is actually
the key when you really boil this down
this business down simply of I create
content that’s helpful for an audience
I give them something super awesome
that’s even more helpful via email I
follow up with even more super awesome
stuff and everyone said I promote
something it’s it like there’s no ninja
there like I called the Viking approach
right and if you’ve watched like the
Viking is show with like Ragnar which is
badass up to season 5 season 5 sucked
anyways like at one point they were like
they needed to get to an ocean that was
like over the mountain they have these
big boats and they’re like we’ll carry
them over the mountain and like that’s
literally my approach like sometimes you
have to pick a boat up and carry it over
a mountain and like the Vikings weren’t
afraid of doing the work like oftentimes
my keyword research is me hammering on
my keyboard for three hours straight to
handwrite a list of variables and I’ll
do some copy paste and this that the
other to plug that in and I might get 6
keywords out of it that I’ve never had
or never seen before
to me it’s worth it most people will
only use a tool is gonna scrape they’re
trying to shortcut because because
automation and blah blah blah but the
automation doesn’t find all that thing
you can find with brute force effort it
really is small brute force effort
things overtime resources pages can work
I don’t really know what you mean about
what is my opinion on them if you have a
lot of resources or somebody put a
resource page but I don’t think it’s
gonna rank very well
Michael Lindvall once you get going when
do you start using business banking
accounts and your own accounts that’s a
good question it’s really important to
like this is basic bookkeeping I guess I
would start running a separate account
from day one so if you’re running on
your social security number I would set
up a separate account that only receives
money from your affiliate stuff and only
spends money for your web hosting your
email and all of that I would try to
itemize it you might need to put five
thousand dollars in there to get it
started probably could start with like
five hundred dollars in there to get it
seated for the first six months that way
your books are just easy to do at the
end of the year because you do need a
report this expense was for business
this income was for business this was
from my day job and and if you know if
it’s all commingled there’s a pain in
the ass at the end of the year so
immediately as my answer there alright
people asking the same question twice
cool I really appreciate all the kudos
you guys I’m kind of skipping those but
I really do appreciate it’s like it’s
amazing what humans will do for
appreciation of others so I really do
thank you for that making its mind I’m
presently using Facebook to share
content should I switch to creating a
blog on my website and learn SEO the
James to the aim is to generate more
traffic I sure would
so depends on what kind of content right
what are you sharing on Facebook and
like can you create long-form pieces of
content that that Facebook content could
also link back to because if everything
you’re doing is on the Facebook
ecosystem you are at the whim of sucks
and sucks does not care about you the
moment he sees you in between one of his
random ass goals that he has which are
that’s creating cryptocurrency or what
that dudes doing you will get turned off
I see an ad accounts band I’ve seen
entire fan pages deleted for no apparent
reason I’ve seen I’ve seen some deleted
for apparent reasons right like they
flat-out broke a term of service but
I’ve also seen it to where they get
literally eliminated for no apparent
reason so I think you need to own the
racecourse oh I got a video about owning
the racehorse you can search that if you
want but I think you do need a digital
home that you own and a WordPress site
is something that you own you also get
that long-term try
right if we were so at one point in
Facebook we were generating over 300,000
visits per month from our facebook
strategy from our fan page of nine
hundred and some thousand people right
so there was a period of time when we
were all in it was a part-time job to
keep Facebook full of content and it
made a ton of money and a ton of traffic
and a ton of subscribers but then they
changed the game
they changed the algorithm and that all
stopped right our facebook traffic is
now down to twenty or thirty thousand
visits per month roughly just off the
top of the head our Google traffic is
still like you know four hundred
thousand visits per month so the
potential for long-term residual traffic
is key and that’s what I like let’s see
here
so Ed Mosley any chance you could answer
my question we were talking about
yesterday about niching down and fitness
on here you’re struggling to commit to a
niche and believe you could be heard so
you got to find that subset right like
my friends with the fitness for dressage
riding you know fitness for veterans
fitness for go kart racers fitness for
jockeys right like I you just you got to
find that next thing but it also needs
to be in alignment with you right so
like fitness for American Ninja Warrior
athletes fitness for marathon runners
fitness for like I don’t know what that
thing is for you but you have to dig in
and find something to add on to fitness
so you can stand out because right now
you’re not able to stand out because the
whole fitness space is absolutely
overwhelmingly saturated but fitness for
marathon runners might be wide open or
there might be three people or five
people dominating that space and you
might be able to fitness for ultra
marathon runners fitness for swimmer’s
fitness for long-distance swimmers but
you have to love that right you have to
do that if you don’t run marathons don’t
think you’re gonna step out and start
teaching people fitness for marathon
right like homegirl who’s doing the the
fitness for dressage riding like she
competes in dressage riding like she’s
literally like on a path to the Olympics
maybe maybe not like that’s a that’s a
huge that’s a very tall order to be
honest but she’s on a path to becoming
one of New Zealand’s top to sauce riders
for sure like undoubtedly she’s been
placing in local tournaments recently so
that’s the kind of content that goes on
her social media that reinforces the
story of she really is
the expert in dressage and fitness she’s
fit bird for sure like it just fits so
what’s that thing for you right it has
to be authentic Olean you’re on Jon
Benson’s team yeah awesome cool that was
a great I was wondering if that was you
guys that’s cool um Jon Benson’s awesome
so Lee Anne if you’re still around he
mentioned because my list at the time
that we did that launch was like 3,500
subscribers and I think I was like right
up there with Todd Brown and a couple
other people who promoted you have like
hundred K lists and he was like dude I
need an interview so if John wants to
interview me at any point hop on I’m
gonna be in my home studio for another
three weeks I got a real estate deal of
North actually I’m gonna be kind of
close to him I’m gonna be up in
Washington area so yeah I don’t know we
could reach out I’d love to hop on do
like a piece of content with him he’s
he’s pretty gangster
so Solaris you’re very welcome
Cheers Jack’s tip yeah when miles never
only has 65 viewers on a livestream
video wow this is the only only the star
for this guy crazy so I did a video I
want to tell you like if you guys are
still with me here’s some really deep
inside him site on SEO stuff that we’re
doing right now
cheers lien I appreciate that that’d be
really fun so I did a video called learn
SEO and I did three target keywords for
that phrase learn SEO SEO course forget
what it was I wrote it in the corner of
my whiteboard and it was a whiteboard
video like this and I did it live and
now I’m out ranking Neil Patel I’m out
ranking the backlinko guy on outrank
ranking like the biggest names in SEO on
youtube for this really three all three
of those really big keyword phrases I’m
even showing up on the first page of
Google so I looked at that and I was
like what did i do there I wrote a
really good title which I’ve got here I
wrote a really long detailed description
which I’ve got here the tags I got that
here I did it live and I noticed when I
was looking at the search engine results
page on YouTube that video I was like
because I go back and analyze when I see
something that sticks I go and I’ll just
scare it like what did I do different
here and it said recorded live or
something versus uploaded three weeks
ago or uploaded nine months ago right
like there’s just that little indicator
I was like aha so now this video you’re
watching is actually a test from
of instead of just doing this video
pre-recorded and uploaded do I actually
trigger the YouTube algorithm extra
bonus benefit for doing this live with
you so if this video jumps to the top
for the there’s three keyword phrases in
the title I got all three of them in or
maybe yeah there’s three main keyword
phrases you can figure out what those
are in the title so if I hit the number
one spot for all those and it’s not
alive guess what you’re gonna see me do
a lot more of live classes because there
might be that little edge I can get on
my competition by doing it live not just
recording and uploading if that isn’t so
I don’t know if that’s true yet I have
one data point that shows like wow I’m
out ranking some serious SEO weight in
this world so I’m now like kind of in
this more like like test it again right
test observe what happened test it again
so that’s kind of why I’m doing this
live and it’s funny I didn’t even do a
full promotion of the live stream I
email my list of course but I didn’t put
it on Facebook or anything cuz because
really I’m doing this for the SEO value
and a long-term value and I hope this
actually connects I know this video will
connect with thousands and thousands and
thousands of people over the next
several weeks and if I hit that number
one spot for all three of those keywords
it could it could jump to you know a
hundred thousand two hundred thousand
views in the course of the next year or
two which would potentially be up there
with my top videos so that’s that’s
really what’s going on here I’m really
kind of interested it’s a test in one
senses cool quick comment on IG TV oh
yeah Instagram TV don’t know damn thing
about it my phone battery died and I’m
just not on Instagram I don’t love
Instagram yet like I don’t feel like we
get some traffic and I’ve connected with
people for sure on it I feel like it’s a
waste of time I’m these things are so
much more powerful than Instagram TV I
will never stop doing a YouTube thing
for an Instagram thing okay I just said
never and that’s a quick way to shove a
foot in my mouth in like nine years or
something so with the way the world is
today I don’t see myself spending any
time that I would spend with YouTube
over on Instagram for any logical reason
because this is a search engine that’s a
timeline that disappears and the moment
is gone from Instagram TV and their
algorithm bumps you down to the next to
the next to the next of the shelf life
today or to the shelf life of those
videos a year
or ten so this is this is key a right
sweet if you have not done this study
can you tell the noobs just like
creating a blog site what resources are
needed so yeah like Solaris 575 in the
description of this video
I have a link that is to my DIY sales
funnel video series if you go to the
miles becker
channel here on youtube you can click on
playlists and go find the DIY sales
funnel video series if you go to google
and search DIY sales funnel video if you
go to youtube search engine and search
DIY sales funnel video all roads will
lead you to my DIY sales funnel video
series that’s where i show you i
literally i’m like i show you not only
which ones to choose but how to set them
all up how to tie them all together so
you get your WordPress installed on the
host you get your theme installed so
your WordPress looks good you get your
autoresponder set up and tied into your
theme so you can do all of the opt-in
stuff from your WordPress site so the
information is out there you just got to
go find that series specifically and
then dive down probably the best
resource would be on miles becker comm i
think it’s four slash clickfunnels –
alternative is actually the URL but
search DIY sales funnel on my site and
it’ll show up because i’ve actually laid
out all the videos on one post so it
just i kind of consolidate everything
and you won’t have the distraction of
youtube with all the stuff around there
ivenn go small niche and try to dominate
or get a piece of a big niche with a
strong pain point so i’m all about small
niche but you can get in a really small
subset and work your way up so my home
girl who’s in the fitness for dressage
riding she could get into fitness for
horseback riders which is a larger
audience there’s more people who like
horseback riding than dressage but she
might not need to she’s absolutely
crushing it and she’s being of service
to the small niche so I always think
niching down makes really really good
sense my wife’s main brand is in the
channeled angel meditation space the
reason this is working for me on a Myles
Beckler brand which is very broad which
is countered to a lot of what I teach is
what I’m bringing 20 years of experience
to the table and a willingness to share
everything
free where everyone else in this space
is trying to charge for the same
information I give away for free I’m in
a position to be able to do this because
I don’t need the money because I have a
very successful business most people
aren’t in that position so what I’m
doing is like Gary Vaynerchuk gets it
right like I’m just being patient as eff
that is literally what I’m doing here I
know I’ll get mine when I write a book
and I hit the New York Times bestseller
and also feel like Miles Beckler who’s
this dude all right I come out of the
woodwork for many takes a long time to
create an overnight success so that’s
literally what I’m building up to and I
might have to do YouTube videos for 10
years before I hit that New York Times
bestseller so here we are almost almost
a year to just chugalug and that’s my
thought and you’re very welcome
Otto posting the latest news along with
100% original content is bad for SEO for
your website
all right so Raffy auto posting is bad
is that clear like I don’t think I’d be
more clear than that if your auto
posting anything that’s a recipe for
disaster could it work temporarily yes
but could it be doing something else in
the code so could there eventually be an
algorithm change to Google that gets
your entire website D index and all that
work you put in for however many months
it worked for or years gets totally
collapsed and destroyed yes and that is
why I say auto posting anything is not a
good idea I can’t be more clear than
that like no scraping no reposting no
Autobots or Auto Blog BOTS none of that
stuff that stuff will kill you
eventually might work it’s a very
short-sighted move and I’m trying to
help you think long term how do I know I
live through 2012 right through the
hummingbird update the Panda update the
penguin update my website is still
around kick in generating millions of
visits per year when I was alive before
those days – and I saw friends who were
making 20 30 40 grand a month their
websites went to zero because they got
hit by the Google band hammer I’ve seen
what that can do to a business and I’ve
seen what I did to their emotions people
committed suicide over that I got
heavy and I’m serious right now like
they played on a very gray area and it
bit them in the ass right so don’t play
in the gray area play in the in the very
clear create great content now can you
manually curate content and add to it
and build a great brand inside around it
yes but to be honest with you you got to
do it manually it takes the work don’t
try to avoid putting in the work so Alex
saw my number one rankings not surprise
tears glad to hear that so new key
especially with Facebook Instagram auto
posting I get what you mean by Auto
posting Rafi I think you I think we’re
clear here Kevin I’m glad you caught
onto this one looking forward to watch
the whole thing later cool it’ll be up
soon Rafi I got you chill everybody
chill like I’m going through this one at
a time
ninja Pinard of interest I don’t I won’t
use ninja Fenner personally great
explanation of YouTube’s long-term value
versus Instagram cool glad to hear that
so Mike I’m Tinelli
your company provides local news to a
population of a hundred thousand people
so even if they have even if you have a
hundred percent of your demographic
following us that’s a pretty limited
audience any advice yeah be the absolute
only source that they go to and make
your content so good that they share it
with everyone they know because if you
think that’s all you have then you’re
you’re thinking way too micro and you’re
not realizing that all those people are
probably connected to 150 to 200
separate people so let’s multiply a
hundred thousand by two hundred what’s
that number it’s a big number right so
that’s how you grow it you just have to
write that epic of content that’s not
good enough for them to read right
that’s probably what you’re doing now is
like okay and we’re getting the
readership how do you make it so good
that they actually share it like who
broke the news for the Panama papers
right and this is I’m not being super
literal I don’t really know enough about
it but like journalists break right
like small journalists at small like
Erin Brockovich there you go like that I
don’t know there was an old movie about
that like she was just some small-town
lawyer right like like like people in
small areas can do big things right
don’t think you’re limited just because
you have that audience right now you
can’t do something big and global and
write these opinion pieces that get
picked up by Drudge Report or Zero Hedge
or if you’re the other side of the the
platform like The Economist could
mention you in something like I don’t
know what those are for you I don’t know
your niche but like remember that you’re
not actually limited that is a false
belief that you have right there so
write epic content and then sell more
stuff to the same people right
how do you J bruh ham there’s only three
ways to grow a business on some more
things make more per sale some more
things that new people make more money
for every sale sell more to the people
you already sold stuff to that’s it’s
the figure out which one of those levers
that or needles or knobs or dials or
switches is easiest for you to trigger
and go do that but um I really think
creating excellent shareable content
could get you well beyond that number
that you think is your current ceiling
how can you find give free content that
you can use to bait searches men like
Raffi’s stop baiting people like don’t
bait people don’t try to get PLR like do
the work if you can’t write great
content that gets people interested hire
writers to do it if you’re not money to
hire writers go get a job locally make
money locally and invest that into your
internet business through great content
there is no shortcut you’re looking for
the shortcuts man like you’re not to get
blocked on the channel if you don’t
change that mindset you can go back to
the spammer websites Pranay how long do
you think it will take to get successful
three or four hours of good work a day
you know that that depends man like I’ve
heard a thousand days at three or four
hours a day is the way to get there
that’d be four thousand hours there’s
the 10,000 hour rule that we what six
years or something like that I don’t
know what skills you bring the table
like who cares like my my question to
you Pranay instead of like how long will
it take is like is it worth whatever it
takes to get your desired result because
your doesn’t sound like you’re there yet
right like if it’s not worth it to you
in the end to create a total lifestyle
freeing business keep waking up your
alarm clock and doing your commute and
doing your normal job it’s okay to do
that our world needs employees right
like when I go to Whole Foods I want
people at Whole Foods to check me out
like our world needs those two I like
people who clean houses so I can hire
somebody come clean my house and the
lady loves cleaning houses like it’s
awesome she does what she loves she’s
stoked that pay her I do what I love
which is with here with you stoke I
don’t do that thing I don’t love which
is cleaning perfect like our world needs
all people you don’t have to be an
entrepreneur I’m not here to convince
you to be an entrepreneur it’s okay for
you to work a traditional job but if you
are interested like isn’t it worth doing
whatever it takes for as long as it
takes to create the lifestyle that you
truly desire like that that’s really the
the point in my personal opinion Rafi
I’m glad I’m glad you got I’m glad
that’s clear I’m glad we got that here
man um Google banhammer was that about
plagiarized content so the banhammer was
swung for people doing link wheels link
pyramids it was a lot of like
backlinking strategies that got people
banned it was some plagiarized comment
the the auto blogging software got hit
really hard there like so
panda penguin hummingbird all focused on
different things and here’s something
important to keep in mind about Google’s
algorithm right now so of the thousands
of people who work on Google’s algorithm
that code base it is Google algorithms
of the thousands of engineers software
jurors who work on it zero were there
when it was written so nobody actually
knows how this thing works it’s now this
behemoth a hodgepodge this duct-taped
together and and so they’ll be like ok
we’re tired of seeing these scraped
content showing up on the first page of
Google how do we get rid of it and some
engineers gonna go look at it me like I
don’t know what do we got taken out that
part like I think so I’m gonna ask
another engineer and they’ll come
they’ll do their meetings and so just
yank one piece out and that creates all
kinds of collateral damage and if you’re
on a gray area somewhere over here
they’re trying to fix this over here
they change the code they think fixes
that but you just got hit that’s how it
works today so that’s why I’m like
squeaky clean at this point all right
10:57 if you made it to the end hashtag
bad ass throw in the comments real quick
hashtag bad ass to you so hit the thumbs
up if you haven’t yet already I couldn’t
believe you made at the end didn’t hit
the thumbs up but hit that helped me get
the word out on this I hope you liked
this if you know of anybody who could
get value from this know that it’ll pop
up live here on my youtube channel or
it’ll pop up like forever on my youtube
channel here in about 30 minutes or so
and wow we did it yay to get it does it
make sense like that’s affiliate
marketing get value get valued be nice
be helpful get value no shortcuts do the
work do the work do the work do the work
find a way that the work is fun so I do
youtube videos because I get charged up
not to walk out of here my wife I’m
gonna be like yeah you know I’m stoked
I don’t go flop on a couch after this
like I’m ready to take on the day
at this point so find the medium that
gets you charged and then find the
audience that you’re just like so
passionate to be of service to right and
like I’m so passionate to be a service
to you somebody who’s looking to do the
work you want to find the right way and
you just don’t want to keep throwing
money at these fake-ass gurus because
they are just they’re just trying to pay
for their Lambos out your pocket and
then the more people I can help realize
that to stop funding these Lambos and
that BS and all that fake vlog lifestyle
look how cool I am and Photoshop income
reports and show you that doing the work
is the key man that’s my life goal right
there so so find that that mission that
that Drive of being of service that
audience and that medium of creating
content and everything else we’ll figure
it out grow a list help people get that
which they want to get them the results
they desire achieve the goals they
desire everything’s gonna work from
there it’s really cool so thank you all
very much just so many like chats coming
in comments coming in I really
appreciate you guys I’m gonna do another
live probably next week I might do like

the wifey and just go explode an
excitement for how fun this was so
thanks for sharing it with me I really
do appreciate it
and this affiliate marketing training is
going to be going on here in just a
second we’re gonna cover three main
questions in this video the first one is
what is affiliate marketing the second
one is how does affiliate marketing work
and the third one the most important one
is how do you make money with affiliate
marketing now if you can hear me right
now and you can see me everything’s
clear on the stream give me a thumbs up
and also leave me a little comment say
yep it’s working and let me know where
you’re dialing in from if you’re
watching after the live broadcast know
that we’re gonna go through my
curriculum first and this I expect to
take about 15 to 20 minutes and then
we’ll transition into question and
answer session after that so if you see
this videos got a really long playtime
don’t worry the core curriculum is gonna
come out first and then it’s just
question answer you’ll get a lot of
value from the question answer but you
can get through the content much more
quickly so I am getting comments right
here and now we got Donna we got Brennan
tenza everybody is seeming to get my
content here so we got the Netherlands
in the house we got Florida we got San
Diego cool everybody is able to hear me
and see me which means let’s just jump
in and get started because I’ve got a
lot of ground to cover so if you don’t
know who I am or about my past I made my
first money online as an affiliate in
2003 so I’ve been making money online as
an affiliate for approximately 15 years
now it’s still a big core of my wife and
my main business we have I would assume
somewhere between two and three dozen
sources of income that kind of support
us currently and most of those are
affiliate income I’ve also built an
affiliate program for a merchant I built
a program from the ground up it was an
online retailer that did about 1.5
million dollars per year in revenue in
the greeting card world they did print
on demand greeting cards I helped them
build an affiliate program and we grew
it to over a quarter million dollars in
revenue in the first year and that
program has been running successfully
ever since so I have in one side of the
equation or the other generated well
over a million dollars in revenue as an
affiliate
I still do well over a hundred probably
about three hundred thousand or so per
year as an affiliate so we’re super
affiliates over here so I know what I’m
talking
about what you’re gonna learn here in
this kind of video in this course is not
the easy money promises that you’ll see
in a lot of the fake guru sales letter
being an affiliate marketer takes a lot
of work and for the first few years it
probably will take more work than a
40-hour a week job but here’s the kicker
you can get to a point where you’ve
built up enough momentum in your
business that you either keep doing the
same amount of work or you can ease off
the throttle a bit and you have so much
momentum going that your income
continues to grow whether you put in
more effort or not it also can free you
up there’s no ceiling to how much you
can earn as an affiliate I know
affiliates who make millions of dollars
per year you can operate an affiliate
marketing business from anywhere in the
world I’ve lived in over 20 countries in
the last four years
everything from Bali New Zealand Hawaii
Thailand Costa Rica Barcelona the grand
canary islands of Spain off the coast of
Africa and you can operate this business
from anywhere and it gives you time
freedom so you got kids you know spend
more time with your kids more time with
the grandkids you want to be able to be
the soccer coach and make – every game
and currently you’re stuck in the
cubicle
affiliate marketing can honestly offer
that freedom but it takes a lot of work
here’s the cool part it’s a proven plan
what I’m gonna show you is work for me
it’s worked for many friends it’s worked
for a lot of people and I got a huge
network of entrepreneurs to have been
speaking at events I’ve been meeting and
shaking hands with entrepreneurs all
around the world this is a proven
process so with all that said let’s jump
right in and I will get to all your
questions I’m getting so many kudos and
with Australia we got New York we got
California but our CEO st. Louis Houston
Texas North Carolina what’s up everybody
I really do honor the fact that you’re
here with me right now I’m so excited to
get into this so let’s jump in so the
first two questions we’re gonna go
through quick I want to spend the bulk
of the time on how do you make money
with affiliate marketing but you gotta
understand how it works right you got to
understand all the parties involved
because that’s how you can really get
good at the whole game of truly making a
long term income with affiliate
marketing so what is affiliate marketing
there’s two perspectives there’s the
business the merchant the vendor right
and then there’s you the affiliate so
from the merchant side or the vendor
side it’s a customer acquisition channel
so what a vendor or an e retailer and
online retailer looks at affiliate
marketing as is a way to incentivize a
commission only sales team that’s their
goal they pay on
formitz so they can bring in a lot of
affiliates and as an affiliate manager
when I ran that program I noticed about
2% or 1% of all affiliates brought in
about 90% of the revenue but you don’t
know what that 2% is so an affiliate
business is gonna bring in lots of
affiliates they’re gonna work with them
give them the tools and then they’re
gonna find the ones who are really
performing well and those are their kind
of best paid salespeople and they make
Commission only so the business has the
upfront fee to get all the tech in place
but after that they’re only paying on
performance for you as an independent
digital marketer it’s an opportunity to
sell other people’s products and earn
income based on your marketing efforts
without having to deal with shopping
carts without having to deal with
customer support you don’t have to deal
with shipping logistics returns all of
that is handled by the merchants you
simply pre sell the product and deliver
an interested audience over to the
product sales page and get more in on
that pre selling idea in the future
because that’s the big key that’s where
most people get it wrong they try to
sell the products as an affiliate that’s
actually the job of the merchant your
job is to pre sell it so that’s what
affiliate marketing is how does it work
I won’t get too techie I promise but we
got a touch on the tech here cuz you got
to understand how it works there’s a
couple of key things you’re gonna take
away from this so when a company an
online retailer wants to begin an
affiliate marketing program they install
two main pieces of code to their website
number one they put a cookie across
every single page of their website and
then they have an affiliate management
area now they can partly partner with an
affiliate network that kind of runs all
of this for them or they can run it
standalone as their own affiliate
program but what happens is you as an
affiliate when you sign up you get a
unique ID this ID is usually appended in
the URL on every page of the vendors
website there’s a cookie that’s always
looking for an affiliate ID when someone
enters the website so if someone clicks
through your link and lands on their
website you will have a special ID that
identifies you as a person who sent that
visitor when that visitor shows up with
that little special thing in the URL the
cookie gets planted on the user’s
browser and the
cookie embeds your affiliate ID as the
individual who brought that visitor to
the site then there’s something called
the cookie duration this can be from 24
hours to 6 months or sometimes they have
lifetime cookie durations generally
you’re gonna find a 30 to 60 day cookie
duration the cookie will expire at the
end of that window if the user completes
a transaction before the cookie expires
with your affiliate ID in that cookie
during the checkout process their
shopping cart will pick up who deliver
that person and attribute the sale to
whoever that affiliate is generally they
run in a last click program which means
if I sent a visitor let’s say there’s a
visitor Sally and I send Sally over
through my affiliate link and then Sally
finds your blog post and follows your
link over to that same product you would
get the attribution when Sally purchases
because you were the last click event
link and some of the networks run some
pretty fancy technology that actually
tries to blend and it’ll look at like it
would split the Commission’s between us
but for most situations you’re gonna
find that it’s a last click attribution
that’s all the tech you need to
understand the big takeaway here right
now is the cookie duration Amazon’s
affiliate program gives you a 24 hour
cookie duration which is one of the
shortest in the industry so that means
when somebody clicks on your Amazon
affiliate link and looks at a product if
they purchase within 24 hours you get
the commission for that and then every
other product they purchase on that
order if they don’t purchase within 24
hours if that purchase happens and that
transaction happens 48 hours in two days
because they had to think about it you
don’t earn the commission and Amazon
still makes a sale so when I big kind of
plums with the Amazon program but the
other side of that is they sell
everything so you can literally sell
anything in the world through Amazon on
that in their small Commission’s but
we’ll talk a little bit more about that
stuff in the future so I hope this all
makes sense so far really simple you are
in commission only salesperson your goal
is to pre-sell the content and deliver
traffic to a con to a ecommerce store to
a merchant or a vendor and then the
cookie is planted on the user’s browser
so if the user clears their cookies if
they’re running a cookie blocker your
cookie won’t actually plant so you don’t
always get a
hundred percent of the sales of what you
deliver and then as long as they make
the purchase to transaction they
complete that transaction within the
window of the cookie duration you earn a
commission oftentimes there’s there’s a
waiting period it’s like a refund period
so sometimes it’ll be 30 days after the
sale or like the first of the month
after 30 days is when you actually get
paid it could be like a two-week rolling
window and that’s if they have a return
window they want to make sure they don’t
give you a commission on a product that
gets refunded because they’re not gonna
eat that that refund they’re gonna take
your Commission back as well so that’s
how it all works and now we are moving
right into the meat and potatoes how do
you make money with affiliate marketing
if you’re liking this so far hit the
thumbs up button for me it actually
helps me get to reach out and that’s my
whole goal I’m not pitching anything at
the end of it at all not not gonna
mention anything that could earn me
income I’m 100% here committed to
helping you and the rest of YouTube
learn the right way to do affiliate
marketing so hit that thumbs up button
for me if you wouldn’t mind and onto how
to make money with affiliate marketing
so I’ve got two broad formulas that are
theoretical and then we’re gonna get
into like a five-step plan like a really
solid like step one step two all the way
to five step plan but you gotta
understand this theoretical side first
because it touches on that pre selling
idea that I talked about because your
goal is not to sell the product the
merchant is there to sell the product
and a merchant who runs a quality
affiliate program they have sales data
they know what their conversion rates
are they have a high converting offer
Amazon converts like crazy most people
go to Amazon end up buying something
that’s that’s how Amazon works so you as
an affiliate can trust that Amazon knows
how to close the sale that’s their job
your job is an affiliate is to really
kind of build that individual up their
interest and their desire so they know
that this is the right thing for them to
solve their problem or to achieve their
goal and then when they click through
they’re already ready to buy because
they’re pre-sold on the item and then
all of the do I trust this merchant do I
have a refund window am I gonna be taken
care of
all that is done by the actual merchants
themselves so how to make money with
affiliate marketing the first one it’s
three letters I’m gonna draw this on the
board I kept my whiteboard in here I
didn’t know if we were gonna use it but
we will today so let’s jump in
so the first one is TT Oh right now TT o
stands for traffic trust and offer now
this is your job as an affiliate
marketer number one you drive traffic
number two you build trust number three
you make offers a lot of people who get
the affiliate marketing game wrong think
it’s just T oh it’s just traffic to
offer traffic to offer quick story for
you when I first started making money as
an affiliate
I was direct linking people from MySpace
over to an affiliate program this was in
2003 and it started earning me some
income I wasn’t building trust I was
neglecting the middle T in this
situation it worked fine for a few
months but one change in the myspace
algorithm when they got bought out by
Fox News my links were no longer able to
be published on their platform and my
income went to zero overnight it was a
day of reckoning for the miles bechler I
was out on my own I was living in Santa
Monica 20 blocks from the beach very
expensive location I thought I had it
all figured out I thought I was riding
an easy street all the way to the to the
hammocks and the mai tais on the beach
making money doing nothing and that was
my first slap in the face by the world
of if I’m not actually adding value and
getting people to trust me myles Beckler
the intermediary not the third party
product not the blog post I’m talking
about they actually get to trust me
I wasn’t building a lifetime asset that
I could rely on so that’s ultimately
your job as an affiliate is to build the
trust and how do we do this well it’s
always through content and generally
it’s through content via an email list
I was not building an email list if I
were to go back today and kind of enter
that same business model that I had
going in 2003 instead of direct linking
them from MySpace to the actual
affiliate website I would have been
sending them to an opt-in page just like
my DIY sales funnel video series teaches
exactly like that that’s why I teach
that now that’s why I preach that now is
because I failed and I had this all
collapse down to zero so you don’t have
to so really here my words when I say
you must build a list because that list
that is your asset my friend that list
you own
list and you own the right to market to
that list as long as you got that
unsubscribe and they actually opted in
you can market to them for the lifetime
of that list they can unsubscribe when
they want but if you give enough value
we’ll talk about that in a minute that
you have gi right hook they will love
your emails they will look forward to
your emails they will be excited about
those things that you offer that’s how
it works so number one is traffic number
two is building trust number three is
making offers tto that’s the big picture
the second big picture you’ve heard me
use this analogy before if you see my
videos it’s AI da now this is an old
school kind of copywriting and direct
response formula it stands for attention
interest I just totally blanked on it
but I’ve got a written down here so
attention interest desire and action
that’s what it stands for AI da let’s
get that on the board real quick
attention interest desire and action
so in this framework you and the
merchant are both working together to
get someone all the way through AI da
attention is on you as the affiliate
interest is on you as the affiliate
desire is on you as affiliate the action
that’s ultimately up to the merchant and
you’ll notice I interchange vendor
merchants ecommerce store whatever it’s
it’s the person who’s actually closing
out the transaction so in this framework
here the attention is maybe that’s a
Pinterest pin maybe that’s a social
media post the attention starts with
that first moment they encounter your
message generally you’re not talking
about the product in this face generally
you’re talking about the solution
they’re seeking out in their life the
the goal they’re trying to achieve right
people are always searching for ways to
solve their goals they’re searching for
ways to achieve their goals
that’s how the whole internet works to
be honest that’s why you’re watching
this video right now is because you
believe that I can help you achieve your
goal or solve your problem affiliate
marketing is not work
for you you want to build a location and
financial independent business cool
this video is my content to help you you
maybe have seen my content before but
this might be the first one so we’re
somewhere between attention and interest
right I’ve captured your attention maybe
with the help of the YouTube search
engine because I’m live so I get that
little bubble popping up and it’s
getting the attention of more people
than my normal subscribers that’s part
of why I’m doing this live and that’s
part of why I built out such a long
description and a such a keyword focused
title before even launching this out
there so the interest is really being
built through me telling the stories and
me sharing what’s going on the desire is
what’s really happening through all of
this the action now if I was trying to
sell you something I would end this in a
webinar format where I sold you a course
but I don’t want to do that I’m gonna
give you everything completely I’m just
trying to show you how I’m using this
framework here today now it let’s say
let’s use an example of let’s say Diane
and Diane is a 53 year old not let list
Diane’s
42 okay Diane is she’s got three kids
and her kids are super busy she’s a
soccer mom she’s all over the place she
works from home but she never feels like
she has any downtime and she eats a lot
of fast food because it’s quick and easy
and Diane’s feeling a little overweight
and she’s not really she’s not really
loving what’s going on right now in her
life she was at a friend’s house
recently and her friend made her a green
smoothie so chia seed smoothie had all
kinds of fruit in it and instead of
going to McDonald’s for the Big Mac
midday she had the smoothie and she felt
great she had solid energy she was like
wow and her kids they actually missed
that kind of midday crash because they
all had this movie too so now this lady
she’s sold on the idea of smoothies and
she wants to mix in smoothies into her
world right so the idea was built by
actually a friend so what is she gonna
do she’s probably gonna turn to Google
and she’s gonna search Google what is
the best blender for a large family
under $100 now this is her search phrase
and what comes up in the search results
of Google on page one are capturing her
attention in this moment that she’s
decided she’s ready to add on this new
thing she’s already interested at this
point so that box is kind of ticked but
when she clicks on she wants to make
sure that you’re not just talking about
the blender you’re talking about
lifestyle benefits the psychological
wins the the losing weight the more
sustained energy that the saving money
compared to eating out at fast food the
easy to clean up because you’re a busy
mom and you can actually throw this one
inside of the dishwasher then the desire
gets built through her reading all the
benefits all the psychological benefits
not the benefits of the blender itself
the benefits of using that in her life
in a way they’re getting her kids to be
happier and so her kids don’t throw
mid-day tantrums because they’re they’re
hungry or they’re eating processed foods
all the time it’s gonna help her lose
weight that’s another huge benefit that
she wants it’s gonna have helped her
have more energy and it’s all quick and
easy to do and quick and easy to sell
she is ready at that point and if you’ve
really spoken to her as a busy mom with
lots of kids who who wants those
specific benefits the desire is there
and when you make a recommendation the
right way on this kind of page of
content that recommendation would be for
the number one blender you recommend for
that specific busy mom with a big family
who needs a fast cleanup and it’s under
a hundred bucks she’s probably gonna
click that and if it’s an Amazon link
charity trust Amazon she’s probably a
prime number already she’s gonna put on
her credit card so fast cuz that thing
will be there in two days and that was
an easier transaction than going down to
the local Walmart or the local Bed Bath
and Beyond
etc etc and in that moment my friend you
just earned commissions now I went
pretty deep into some of the
psychological stuff and you have to
understand that’s the difference that’s
the make or break it’s not about the
blender right it’s not about the golf
widget that’s going to help them improve
their golf game it’s about the bragging
rights they’re gonna get in a clubhouse
after the golf game because they finally
started beating their buddies because
they got more birdies and their buddies
did because they finally eagled some
hole when everybody else had to par the
whole type situation so psychological
things and that’s really powerful for
you to get going and to understand so
the main point here in that story I want
you to take away with is you’re not
actually selling the blender you’re
pre-selling the blender you’re helping
her understand what that specific
blender is going to do for her and then
it meets her criteria of fast cleanup
and under $100 etc etc when she gets to
Amazon she can look at the reviews
she trusts that site a lot of merchants
that aren’t Amazon there’s there’s that
trust moment of like can I put my credit
card in on this website but we’re all
programmed to put
our money and credit cards in on Amazon
already so the trust is already there
and that’s how the program works that’s
how it works when it when it actually
works is in that method you build you
capture their attention you create
interest or you help them stoke the
interest you build desire with them to
have that specific one and then you just
get them over to where they can complete
the checkout with someone who actually
is a solid vendor and deliver on the
promise because if they buy and that
lender doesn’t show up for ten weeks
because it’s being shipped from
Aliexpress you look like the bad guy
because you recommended that product and
they had a ten week lead time they
didn’t know right so you got to keep
that in mind who you promote reflects
among reflects back on you as a brand
which is why I’m not promoting any
affiliate marketing courses I don’t
trust any of them they’re mostly scams
out there to get your money or to get
you to promote the same thing and
they’re almost like multi-level
marketing and since I don’t trust any of
them and I think they’re all a little
scammy right now I’m not recommending
one to you and I’m just gonna teach you
everything instead this will be a
value-add from me to you and it’ll put
that kind of value proposition a little
farther down the line when I do have
something I think is really gonna work
for you like my DIY sales funnel series
that has three affiliate links in it I
know that’ll work for you you’re more
likely to go through that process and
trust me because I gave you all this
content on the front end let’s keep
moving so now we’re at the five steps to
make money as an affiliate so I’ve got a
free course it takes a little different
path to this point because I talk about
memberships and selling your own
products selling info products so if you
don’t have my free course yet you can
get it at miles bechler com forward
slash free – course it’s the 7 step kind
of process and my wife and I use to
build our business that we’re running
now there’s massive overlap in what
you’re about to learn in the five-step
process I go a little farther on that
one in how to create your own membership
program and how to create your own
products but I also talk about affiliate
marketing a lot in there too so so this
is contained in that that just goes a
little bit deeper and you’ll also get my
daily emails after that which have been
on fire I’ve been getting some really
cool results and responses from out all
right
five steps you ready taking notes on
this I hope so you guys having fun hit
the thumbs up if you are so step number
one know yourself this is so key and I
had this wrong back in the day for
years you need to know what method of
communication you are most comfortable
with right so if you are someone who the
thought of doing a live like I’m doing
right now scares the hell out of you
don’t do video if you’re someone who
loves to write and you’re just you you
loved English class you just love
writing you love reading and you love
writing and you see me doing this
YouTube thing like obviously that’s the
path I got to do the don’t you don’t
have to do YouTube you can just write if
you like talking but you don’t love the
idea of having to get all dressed up not
what I’m like dressed up or any I did
shave this morning I showered and shaved
but like for I think sometimes for
ladies it’s you know it’s an hour
process sometimes for my wife to get
ready to do her videos if that thought
bothers you but you love talking maybe a
podcast is the right medium for you
maybe the spoken word is the right
medium for you or if you’re a good
interview or maybe the podcast so so the
first step is to know yourself because
you have to become a content creator and
you’re trying to create content in a way
that’s not in alignment with your DNA
it’s gonna be extremely challenging and
you’re probably not going to publish
enough content that’s what I did with
the miles Beckler blog miles Becker com4
literally six and a half years roughly
from 2010 through 2016 I’d seen my wife
who built a massive massive brand
through blogging my wife’s website today
gets over 8 million visits per year now
I saw that whole process through her
using the written word so what did I
think well I need to go right that’s I
need to be a writer
but I didn’t really like writing at all
and I just never published it was
difficult for me and I wandered and and
I wasn’t focused enough and I just
didn’t have the boobs more almost a
belief that I was a writer but I tried
to force myself to write for years
wasn’t until August of 2016 that I was
like you know what I’m gonna try this
YouTube thing and I turned on the camera
and it’s fun and I love this this moment
I get to share with you I actually do
enjoy this process like I’ve been fired
up like I it was difficult for me to
sleep last night I woke up at 5:30 this
morning stoked to do this video with you
right that’s how I know that I found the
right medium for me to communicate
through now that I’ve been doing videos
I mean the results speak for themselves
right you can see my data I’m pretty
much at 60 thousand subscribers not even
two years at this point because I’m
having fun it’s enjoyable and it’s
exciting which means I’m consistent with
it and you have to be consistent with
your content marketing
or else nothing’s gonna work right the
reason my wife’s blog gets 8 million
visits per year right now is because
she’s been blogging every year every
month every week since 2009 that’s why
it’s the cumulative results it’s the
combined results of all of that past
effort that she’s getting residual kind
of traffic from all of those blog posts
she created in the past which is exactly
what my youtube channel is doing right
now my early videos are still bringing
in new people to learn about maybe
attention level and these new videos are
bringing in more new people those
compound I’m reaching more people every
day and every day I put out a video it’s
more people the reason why this is
working to get back to what we’re
talking about here is because I found my
content kind of creation method that’s
in alignment with who I am it’s fun it’s
easy so I get it done I’ve done three
videos a week at least for about two
years now and there ain’t no stopping
this train because I love what we’ve got
going on so you have to find that for
yourself so if your writer right if your
talk or do a podcast if you like the
song and dance do YouTube welcome to the
party
personally I would say there’s a small
notch up for writing the reason is
WordPress is an open source platform
it’s the only platform you should be
writing on you can control the user
experience more on WordPress than you
can on YouTube or on a podcast you can
have pop-ups that offer your free thing
which we’ll talk about in a minute you
can have a sidebar you can have ads
actual ad space in there that can be
affiliate products it can be adsense we
do both generally we’ll put an affiliate
offer that’s hyper relevant before we’ll
put an advertisement in a blog post but
you have more control you put a ribbon
up top you put fly-ins you do all kinds
of stuff if you own the platform what
you do in the written word also Google
gets more searches than anything in the
world and Google picks up written word
WordPress sites best so if you are a
writer good on you like pat yourself on
the back that is actually probably the
most powerful way to move forward as a
content creator but if you’re not a
writer don’t worry about it you can kind
of take my approach which has been now
that I’m creating content in this manner
I’m having my content transcribed you
can use auto-pay I like like the critter
like ot te rai and that’s free for like
600 minutes per month um it’ll
transcribe your stuff or you can use
Trent TR int com
it’s like 25 cents a minute and and you
can essentially create transcribe
versions of your spoken content and then
you could turn it into blog posts and
this is what I call my three pillar
content marketing strategy your ultimate
goal is to get to where your contents
out on all three pillars you got your
videos firing you got your audio firing
and you got your text firing if you
write it first great then record an
audio track of it great add on an image
for a video put it on YouTube put on the
podcast
you hit all three pillars so the goal is
three pillars and just keep in mind I
didn’t get my second pillar going for
about a year so I did only videos for
the first year just to flex that muscle
over and over to get really good at
being a content creator then I added on
the the the written word that took about
six months to get dialed in I’ve got a
team working that for me and then I
added on the the the podcast version
which I have people kind of running for
me so now that all three of those are
firing I’m emailing my list every day so
I spend time with one thing and I go all
in on one thing long enough to get
flexing muscle enough to where it
becomes easy then add the next then add
the next don’t try to start all three at
once get mastery of your main content
creation process first give it three
months six months I love a 90 day
challenge 90 posts and 90 days 90 videos
in 90 days let’s move on to the next one
so step two who can you help most people
think what can I promote and that’s the
backwards way to affiliate marketing and
most people who approach it this way
don’t make much money there are a few
people who in this world are connecting
through paid ads this is essentially
running paid ads for products and
they’re getting the clicks enough clicks
and they’re they’re doing CPA or they’re
selling enough things that they’re
making money and they’re able to apply
scale there’s also people in a world who
have won the lottery I don’t put money
into the lottery and I don’t bet on
things that don’t have a proven track
record for hundreds of thousands of
people so building the list building the
content it’s such a proven path to this
that you really need to think about not
what product can I promote but what can
I offer what value can I bring to the
world who can I best help so how do you
figure out who you can best help that’s
a really good question and you need to
kind of look in a little bit to yourself
what comes easy and naturally to you is
one thing and that that’s often hidden
it’s hidden in plain sight for us so
what would your friends say comes easily
or what are your friends or family
members what do they call you for like
hey I need help with boom you get the
phone calls all the time hey I need help
with into you it’s like man this is so
easy right so what comes easy and
naturally to you comes easy you don’t
notice that you think it comes easy to
everyone but it doesn’t and this is one
of those opportunities because if it’s
easy and natural to you and it’s
difficult for other people
perfect you have an opportunity to help
this audience of people solve a problem
or achieve a goal look back into your
education and your professional
experience if you have any look back
into your hobbies if you don’t have any
the world of gaming is turning into an
absolutely insane multi multi
multi-billion dollar industry and it has
been a billion dollar industry right the
video game industry has been but at this
point we have live streaming there’s
competitive gaming professional
competitive gamers are making millions
and millions of dollars a year the
eSports craze that’s going on right now
is absolutely insane there is so it’s
such a large audience of people wanting
to get better at games there’s a huge
market there if you’re a gamer but then
again everything from RC cars RC planes
drones horseback riding golfing all
kinds of hobbies right even down to like
fine scotches fine whiskeys fine wines
those kinds of things cigars there’s a
million different niches what captures
your interest already what are you
already interested in the big idea that
if I could help you walk away
understanding one big idea from this
whole video is for you to shift your
mindset from how can I get money from
the internet to how can I give value to
this world of the Internet what do you
know what do you have inside of you that
you’ve done that you can share that will
be helpful to an audience of people most
people have it backwards and they’re
like how can I get what can I promote to
get money from this internet when you’re
like hey how can I give value to this
world that’s when things start to work
out for you so think of my story real
quick been making money online since
2003 started building my first websites
in around 1999 when I was in high school
when I finished up high school 1999-2000
is when I built my first websites so I
spent three or four years trying to
figure the game out before I made any
money then from 2003 to 2007 it took me
that or excuse me to 2010 it took seven
years for me to go full-time online
and now from 2010 full-time online
through 2016 100% dedicated focus on my
wife and my business and also doing
client work then in 2016 right after 15
plus years of experience with digital
marketing building websites etc I began
to teach online why because I just spent
15 plus years of my life dedicating 60
to 80 hours a week figuring out this
game of internet marketing affiliate
marketing website building and all of it
and not only that I produce the results
right I’ve created a over a million
dollars in value if you look at my
client work I mean I’ve created millions
of dollars in value for all my clients
and my family included I’m talking about
revenue right I’m talking money in the
bank style profit right this is not like
intangible this is very tangible and
then I started so so my goal here is to
help you look back into your past what
have you been doing for 10 years what
have you been doing for 15 years these
are the keys to really finding out that
which is the easiest for you to help
people with so we’re looking for the
easy method of communication and then
what problem can you help other people
solve that comes easy to you easy and
easy because when it’s easy you do it
when it’s hard you’re not gonna do it so
find those easy things for you right the
if you can’t find something easy what
would be fun I’m a really good friend of
mine fitness instructor she worked in
gyms she worked one-on-one with people
she had a little online gym thing she
was building all in the fitness world
she loves horseback riding she loves
dressage riding specifically which is
like horse dancing most people don’t
know what it is it’s actually an Olympic
sport
she created a fitness product what she’s
good at mixed it with dressage riding
what she loves and she by far has the
number one fitness for dressage riding
program in the world they have part one
part two they’re crushing it they are
doing so well for themselves
there’s nobody being of service that
audience she loves it her passion comes
through her horses are in the background
right she lives on her property she has
her horses there so it’s that kind of an
idea what do you do so if you need to
figure that out like if money wasn’t a
question what would you do with your day
right or when you’re sitting on the
couch at home and you’re looking on your
phone on reddit or just browsing or
watching YouTube videos that aren’t make
money online related what do you
what are you what are you interested in
this world go down that path you’ll find
the process of making creating content
fun and easy makes it doable when it’s
doable you’ll be consistent when it’s
consistent that’s how you grow an
audience when you grow an audience
that’s how you can build the trust in
order for people to click through your
links and take your recommendations all
right so what comes easily to you that
other people seem to struggle with what
problems have you solved in your life
that you would love that other people
would love to solve have you overcome
physical ailments have you done some
sort of rehab or therapy or have you
have you quit something that was
dragging you down what have you actually
overcome in your life and how can you
help others with that what have you been
helping people or businesses with
professionally for years already
um what problems do you have in your
life right now that you’re committed to
fixing a really good example of this is
this is where you get into that document
don’t create idea that that Gary
Vaynerchuk talks about a lot if I was
like 240 right now 240 pounds I
currently weigh about 170 so if I was 70
pounds heavier than I am and I got
really truly committed and like I’m
gonna lose this 70 pounds I would
document the process I would document
what I’m doing from meal prep I would
document how I’m exercising what I’m do
I would I would make vlogs I would be
very real and I would document the
process and people could go back and
watch that process and they could see me
at 242 38 to 35 222 all the way down and
that that documenting of that story of
me solving my current problem in the
moment can be super powerful for people
because there’s an emotional connection
to stories storytelling is so powerful
in that um then what are your hobbies
what are your passions what what can you
envision researching and fiddling with
and thinking about and building and and
rebuilding four or five years straight
this game is a three to five year plan
so that is step two in the five-step
process now we’re moving to step three
so step three is give value through
content you have your core attention
content that’s going to be your blog
your YouTube your podcast or it could be
paid advertisements a real quick note if
you’re moving forward into affiliate
marketing and you’re like Chevy you paid
ads or should I do content marketing for
free traffic which is actually earned
traffic so it’s not free it takes your
time and energy do you have more time
than money or do you have more money
than time I think it would take most
people between ten and twenty five
thousand dollars in paid ads unless you
bring massive copywriting skills or
digital marketing skills to the table
but if you’re completely new to this
world you have to learn number one
copywriting you have to learn number two
funnels and digital marketing and the
actual nuts and bolts of it all then you
have to learn how to run the ads on the
ad platform and then you have to learn
human psychology and what it takes to
get people to take action that whole
process is probably gonna cost tens of
thousands of dollars in paid
advertisement unless you already
dominate at one of those things it’s not
easy to get a human being off of
Facebook to pull out their credit card
and to buy something after a click it’s
actually not easy to get someone off of
Facebook to enter their email address
for that thing you’re trying to give
them before offering that thing they buy
the whole game is really difficult so so
if you’ve got a lot of money and a lot
of free time it still takes a lot of
time to dial all that in the paid
approach works if you don’t have a lot
of money sitting around and you’ve got
nothing but time go the free version
that’s what I’m doing here I’ve never
paid a penny in advertising for the
miles Beckler brand I’ve generated
60,000 ish subscribers at this point on
this channel my wife we only started
paying for advertising
I think it’s 2014 when I really started
to get into paid ads so we ran for what
two thousand nine two four five years
without ever running a paid ad billing
nothing but organic traffic and to this
day if I stopped paying on my ads on
that main brand that traffic goes to
zero instantly if I stop paying I’m not
paying for my SEO right we get 8 million
his deer no matter what we do we go hang
out do nothing we’ll still get those
millions of visits per year because it’s
based on content so content the main the
core attention content is your blog post
if you’re a writer your podcast if
you’re a talker your YouTube video if
you are a performer right so that’s the
core then you have your indirect content
this is what links back to those pieces
this can be your Pinterest pin your
Instagram posts your Facebook your Quora
answers if you want your Yahoo Answers
your LinkedIn posts if you do LinkedIn
post your snapchat if you’re in a
snapchat musically if you’re you know
going towards that younger demographic
and musically my goal in separating
social in your core is that your core is
more important
social arc or my wife and I built
organically 915 thousand or so fans to
our Facebook fan page we get very little
traffic from all that effort and that
took so much effort to build that
organically back in the day
well we’ve also built out our organic
traffic over the years and we get 8
million visits per year
residual traffic from all the efforts we
put in so the shelf life of your blog
your YouTube and your podcast is huge
the shelf life of a Facebook post or an
Instagram post is tiny
don’t rely on social media as your core
traffic let that supplement your core
traffic model which is your core content
creation method cool so then we want to
move on to and again the 3 filler
content marketing strategy so yes you’re
putting out your blog but you want to
ultimately get it on all three then you
get all your social pointing to all
three you create your little web of
activity in the world search engines
will all pick it up Google knows when
you get a lot of social shares etc so it
all helps and works together but your
core content is that which is kind of
your blog post or your podcast or your
video then you need interest content
right so that’s attention then your
interest content this is generally an
opt-in for a free report so I already
plugged my free report it’s how we went
from side hustle to seven-figure
business right side hustle to making a
million dollars profit online it’s my
seven step process so that is at miles
vector column forward slash free course
and I’ve created that because that was
my fourth attempt at a a lead magnet and
that I found is the most burning desire
in most of my audience most of my
audience wants to fire their boss and
generate enough money to where they can
feel like they can live the lifestyle of
their dreams well I’ve done that so
that’s what I’m teaching and that
million dollar business idea is
something that’s a really big idea for
people so that’s my attention that’s my
interest level content is my free
giveaway right then there’s the desire
so we’re just we’re just working our way
through this so attention is your social
media posts and also your core content
your interest is your free item that
you’re giving away via email then the
desire comes from the emails themselves
the daily emails your follow up sequence
that’s how you build the stories around
the affiliate products that you promote
now I’ve had a couple of very successful
affiliate promotions
recently last it was last year it was
February I did a promotion on a
copywriting course and system and tool I
generate about thirty thousand dollars
in revenue as an affiliate in
approximately three days with one video
and two or three emails and that
generated thirty thousand dollars in
revenue for me now I’m profit for me
now with well there was taxes okay so
whatever anyways do the math anyways so
it generates thirty thousand dollars
into my business bank account from those
efforts but it’s not the emails it’s
everything I did for the years before
those emails and giving content and
building the relationship and it’s all
the emails those kind of those emails
that I gave that told a story and I knew
the date that that launch was gonna
start I knew the date that launch was
gonna end I started my story about a
week and a half two weeks out in my
emails and started painting the story of
how copywriting helped my wife and I go
from zero to hero in our business like
that’s the one skill that really turned
it around and my wife and I had already
purchased that product we had not only
purchased that product we had used it we
had built a video sales letter with it
we were crushing it with our video sales
letter for it so I told this big story
that led up to the point of finding that
solution then doing the work and the
results we were getting with that and
people who were at that moment of like
they’ve been building things they
realized copywriting is a challenge they
realized conversions their biggest
challenge they were like oh I need that
and the sales exploded it blew my mind
same with the authority hacker and the
other programs that I’ve promoted in the
past I’ve had multiple five figure
launches through a couple of emails here
and there and this miles better brand at
this point and that’s because they’re
all story based I tell these stories
that weave in the need and the reason
why this thing is core to your long-term
success and it is because I only promote
things I buy I only promote things that
I’ve personally been using that have
created positive results for me in my
business so I can tell these stories and
that builds the desire when I tell you a
story of how my wife and I we weren’t
able to get this product to convert we
weren’t able to sell this thing we have
this great product we built and it just
wasn’t selling and then we tried this
new video sales letter formula and all
of a sudden our conversion rates tripled
and we started making weekly sales of
this thing and daily sales for
staying for a period of time afar even
like like that story is what builds the
desire in the reader and that is what
gets them to click through and take
action and he was retiring the product
so it had like a very hard deadline and
and that was really what kind of called
them to action he did all that on his
end but I did the attention potentially
years before with my videos right so
people who bought were probably on my
list for at least a year some of them at
least then the interest through all the
different videos and pieces I talked
about about how to build the game I keep
coming back to copy writing because
copywriting is a key you heard me
mention it to the person who has the 20
grand they’re ready to put into
affiliate marketing copywriting is that
core skill they’re gonna need then to
build the desire for that product I told
the specific story over a series of
emails I led the conversation in the
direction of I had this really really
big problem in my life
we found this tool it got us over that
problem and boom we really took it to
the next level and that with a
well-timed link at what place link
generated a lot of income but it wasn’t
that one link that mattered it’s
everything we did I did four years
before that actually mattered and that’s
that’s the big thing I’m trying to help
you understand here cool so the interest
contact grow your list again going back
to my first internet kind of success
when I was making money in 2003
had I been growing a list had I focused
on growing a list with my income stopped
I would have actually been able to keep
earning income I could have kept mailing
that list I could have mailed them
different offers so that was a huge
mistake I made that’s why I’m such a
proponent now of building the email list
and you just heard a very clear story of
how that exploded for me with the email
list um so now we’re on number four step
number four of the process is finding
offers your audience already wants to
buy the key here is that your are your
audience already wants to buy these
products they might not know they want
to buy these products but they do so
people who bought that copywriting
product they probably didn’t know it
existed they didn’t know they wanted it
or needed it but they knew they had a
problem they knew they had to challenge
that conversions and copywriting were a
big challenge for them so when I laid
that story out and gave them that offer
as the solution that I chose for my
business that I’m
having really good results with it
clicked and it meant that moment they’re
like I gotta have this thing they
actually already wanted it they just
didn’t know that they wanted I helped
them see that this was the thing to get
them over the hump get them to the next
level um and it is because it is
actually a great product I continue to
use it to this day
so how do you find the offers right what
do you what have you bought that they
would get value from look back in your
past purchases my wife and I just bought
a course two or three days ago we’re
revamping a how can I say this without
giving it away
so we revamping a traffic channel in our
business that’s done really well for us
and and it continues to perform so well
we’re like let’s let’s invest more and
really take it to the next level so I
bought this course is about a torn $50
course and like we’ve sort of gone
through and is like oh my gosh this is
this is really powerful so I’m already
like where’s the affiliate link right
I’m reading this we’re already
implementing things like within two or
three days we’re seeing our traffic come
up we’re seeing our lead numbers come up
it’s like this is huh finally we found
it right so now I want to go I’m like
where can we sign up as an affiliate
they don’t have an affiliate link at the
bottom so I’m emailing the course
provider right like can we promote this
as an affiliate we have an audience who
would be really interested in this and
we’re essentially building the
relationship with the lady who sells the
product to get the ability to promote
her product so look back into what
you’re already using the hosting I
actually use the theme miles bechler
comm is built on is thrive themes that’s
why I promote thrive themes because it’s
what I use right like it’s that it
really is that simple when you’re
building a brand based on a problem that
you’ve solved through yourself in the
past what solutions do your audience not
know about let’s go back to our green
smoothie person right there’s a an
affiliate product through Clickbank
called organifi it’s a green powder they
have to have a green one a red one and a
yellow one it’s a morning and afternoon
and an evening supplement series and
it’s like part detoxing part weight-loss
but it’s like a smoothie thing so you
get the mum who’s really interested in
the blender and you help her realize
which blender it is she might not even
know about these green powders which are
the shortcut so you don’t have to keep
cutting and washing kale and cucumbers
and all the the vegetables that you put
into your green smoothie now you could
just put two scoops of this and it’s
even faster so that’s that thing that
she maybe didn’t know about that you
could promote to her and help her
understand works a lot easier when she’s
on an email list versus
link over to the affiliate program to
the actual product page but you could
always use a retargeting pixel and and
hitter with an advertisement if you
wanted to so what solutions do they not
know about what are the highest reviewed
items for people with their problems or
goals this just takes deep research
right you can go to let’s say you’re in
the audio/video space let’s say you do
do microphones you can go to Amazon you
can look at the highest reviewed
microphones go to B&H; photo video look
at what their highest reviewed products
are so you can literally crowdsource
through all the reviews in the world
what do people love the most and those
are the ones you start reviewing first
that’s one of the ways into it and then
you can go into the different affiliate
networks the different affiliate
programs and the merchants really
googles your friends like like you
sometimes you just have to go to google
and type in golf membership , affiliate
program and then all sudden it’s like
whoa revolution golf at $99 a month
membership program has a really cool
affiliate program it doesn’t say
affiliate on their page it’s Ryan by a
third-party system but that shows up
being H photo video if you go to B
Photo Video com they don’t have at the
bottom of the page an affiliate program
but if you go to Google and you type B
photo video affiliate program you’ll see
it runs on a third party you’ll see the
page pull up on a third party system you
click apply and then you can promote
everything that B&H; photo video has then
you can do comparisons between the
products on Amazon and the product on
B&H; photo video and you can talk about
how great B&H; photo videos support is
and how amazon’s gonna leave you hanging
and yeah being HS maybe thirty dollars
more but you’ll get better support or
maybe being h is cheaper than amazon and
you help point that out to your readers
that can be a way and then their
Clickbank is one that everybody knows
about and most people know about
Clickbank I have a really unique way of
analysing clickbank’s data Clickbank is
really weird like their marketplace
their search engine within clickbank’s
pretty bad and there’s so many products
on Clickbank that absolutely suck
they’re terrible they’ll never convert
they’re just they’re horrible so there’s
a way to weed through the Clickbank and
I’m gonna do a separate video on that
probably Monday that video is gonna come
out it’s gonna be how to analyze
Clickbank offers to find good offers but
again it’s not a goal to find a good
offer it’s a goal to think about your
audience that you’re being of service to
what do they need what problems are they
trying to solve what goals are they try
to achieve and then what things
information and physical products will
help them get there and that’s how I use
Clickbank right so I use Clickbank to
find those things that my audience
already wants and desires I don’t go
look broadly on Clickbank be like oh
what what offers are converting I’m like
what would my audience want that’s
proven to convert so I just want to make
sure that’s really important there and
then step 5 so the last step in this is
to optimize your key conversion points
now your key conversion points are
everything from the click on the search
engine page right so the the headline on
this video you notice I got the little
eyeballs on this one it’s pretty full
like like what you add as excuse me what
you add as the title is probably the
biggest thing that’s gonna either get
the click or get somebody to skip over
you and click on your competitors link
that click-through rate from the search
engine page has a huge determination on
how high up you rank in the search
engines if you get more clicks by having
a kick-butt title you’re going to rank
higher and you’ll get more attention
tada
and if you get more attention you have
the opportunity to get more of
everything else then your thumbnail
video is one of the things if you’re
here on YouTube so optimizing all those
conversion points and I’m talking all
the way from the the little things on
the front end to your opt-in offer to
the headline on your opt-in page the
layout of your opt-in page the the words
you have on your pop-up the offer you’re
giving away via your pop-up you gotta
test those things so on the miles
bechler brand I tested a three abundance
meditation at one point there was a
facebook case study so I’ve tried
several things before I came to that
free course that was the the seven step
process from site hustle to million
dollar business that converted the best
boom now with all the traffic I’m
already getting and my attention level
the number of people making it on my
list the interest level has gone up
because the page that bridges that gap
my opt-in page converts at a higher
percentage same amount of traffic here
now I’m getting more people here because
I got a better conversion which also
means that in my email sequence here I’m
getting more people because I got more
from here to here more from here to here
so I get more people reading my emails
which means more people can take action
right so off the little
weeks and you don’t need to start there
you need to start by ninety a challenge
to getting the content out getting going
and then just getting your first lead
magnet out getting your first giveaway
out your first funnel built then doing
some email you can go back and tweak
things over time the best thing I ever
did was started publishing for the miles
back to brand on YouTube and stuck with
it like if there’s no big thing I’ve
done it’s it’s all these micro things
none of my videos have gone viral none
of my videos have had massive success by
any means but I put out a lot of videos
that have each done pretty well and I
build enough trust with how I deliver
content that a lot of people reach in my
email list because my offer is pretty
good they’re people like my daily emails
because I’m uplifting I’m giving a ton
of value to my email list so
everything’s working because I’m putting
in so much effort and so much energy
nothing big it’s a lot of little stuff
um also look at your emails as ways to
test things every subject line that you
have is actually a headline and it’s a
headline test and I test little short
one word in toward headlines or email
subject lines that that are very
curiosity inducing and then I do some
very direct like you will learn how to
boom in this one and I go back and I
look at the numbers like like and then I
try to analyze why did that work why
didn’t that work
who split test your follow-up emails you
can look back at your follow-up emails
as well that is page two of the
curriculum and at this point wow I want
to congratulate you guys so so little
round of applause if you’re still here
and you haven’t hit the thumbs up hit
the thumbs up good on you would that
take so that’s it longer than than
expected to get through the actual
curriculum we got questions everywhere I
got a sheet of them if you were on if
you’re on my email list you know that I
asked you for your questions yesterday
so if you’re not on my email list one of
the benefits is when I do these lives I
will get your questions first before
getting the questions from the chat
right there’s a lot of questions in chat
I don’t know if we’re going to get
through those because my email
subscribers get priority so now I’ve
pulled up on my computer which is right
here so I’m not not paying attention to
you I’m just on my computer I’ve got a
list of questions and we’re gonna
rapid-fire through these but I need a
little bit of water and I definitely
need a little coffee to keep this energy
up then I’m
so stoked to have you guys here that’s
pretty awesome I feel like we’ve got a
great group of people here interesting
thank you guys very much for being here
so I’m gonna jump right in to these
questions and then all I’ll see if we’ve
got time I can’t go over to ours YouTube
does not allow my full video to upload
if it’s over two hours so I gotta stop
it like an hour fifty nine or else it
cuts the front off and it’s just really
confusing in the future so if you’ve got
questions about the tactics the nuts and
bolts the things that I talked about the
three pillars content marketing strategy
how to do SEO I just saw a question on
how do you SEO Rafi look in the
description of this video in the
description one of the first links is
going to be a new blog post to prepare
for this live stream I wrote the most
epic blog post I’ve ever personally
written 100% written by myself I’m super
proud of it all my emails that I’ve been
writing every day have helped me kind of
become a better writer i’ma talk about
that in the future and this is being
recorded so you can watch it um but the
first link is miles becker comm forward
slash make money with affiliate
marketing click on that link it’ll load
a version of what we just covered and at
the bottom and throughout there’s all
kinds of links to how to do SEO how do
you keyword research how to run a
Facebook ad how to build your funnel
it’s those links are also in the
description of this video you’ll notice
so if you click those links they should
all be set to open in a new tab you
shouldn’t lose me but if you want to
wait just do that there just know it’s
there my SEO videos crushing it I’m
sitting on top of YouTube for learn SEO
for SEO course and SEO training
those are huge keyword phrase I’m out
link I’m out ranking people who charge a
lot of money for courses which is why I
don’t recommend you use courses because
I’m better than most of them and I teach
it all for free so just share my stuff
and help me get the word out on this so
people stop wasting their money on those
overpriced ass courses sorry
for the bomb but those the fake gurus
and even the real gurus it just kills me
man the two thousand hour course things
just so annoying little rapid-fire these
questions a lot of them we’ve covered I
pulled out the ones I knew we would
cover I’m gonna rapid-fire these then
I’m gonna get to you guys in the
comments I see the chat just flowin and
I love it so thank you guys everyone in
there on the comments like Cheers on you
Saturday morning whatever may be its
center
night wherever you’re at good on you so
here we go there’s a lot of courses and
digital products in my niche should I
review them on my blog even though the
search volume is often low yes because
that means the competitions also gonna
be low and you need to put out a piece
of content every day for the next three
years so get to it start reviewing
everything the best way to do it is to
review the things that you have right I
put out a lot of content that doesn’t
review affiliate things I put out a lot
of content like this that gives a ton of
value so when I do make the review and
I’m like yo check out the review because
this thing was hot you’re like well I
believe Myles like like he’s real deal
so don’t just do reviews mix in the
value also but yeah review everything go
forth especially things you bought and
used start there that’s the key what’s
the best way to ask for a trial of a
product to get an honest review without
having to buy ask them you’re probably
not going to get it you’re probably
gonna have to buy a lot of things it’s
tax deductible that’s kind of the cost
of doing business can you learn enough
about a product through research and
through reading reviews to write a good
review on it of course you can but it’s
gonna work best when you actually get
your hands on it do a video with it do
podcasts about it do pictures of it with
you on it it just becomes that much more
believable and that’s what the top
affiliates are definitely doing I’m new
to affiliate marketing but I’ve been
successful running Facebook and Google
ad traffic for years so I’m not new to
driving traffic awesome
is it smarter to promote a CPA which is
cost-per-acquisition with a low again
stream ads or should I go with a higher
EPC clickbank offer but it of that all
right so you know the answer to this
already
you gotta test it mate there’s no way to
know you actually just do both see which
one’s gives you a better ROI and do more
of that that’s how the whole
pay-per-click game works and you know
that as a pay-per-click advertiser so do
the work test both build funnels out for
both both see what converts better what
gives you a better ROI hey maybe they’re
both giving you positive ROI and you
could scale both of them boom you don’t
listen to me tell you to do one when
both could work right test it let the
data guide you what kind of affiliate
marketing campaigns convert the best I
mean if you compare for example an email
core blog post and a YouTube video which
one is the most effective the most
effective is the one that’s most fun for
you to create right for me my videos do
really well but my emails also do really
well
it’s about I want you to think of a
filly at campaign as a multimedia
experience so when I did that launch on
that the the copywriting course like
it’s no I did one thing it was like okay
I’m gonna put that one piece up no I did
everything I wrote a blog post about it
I did write a blog post I didn’t mention
that earlier so I wrote a blog post
about it I did a video about it I did a
couple of emails my emails one of them
at least one maybe two direct link it
linked but I think one or two one link
back to the video and then one link back
to the blog post so do everything do all
of the things is the key at what point
in my new website should I start adding
affiliate links is there a traffic
number doesn’t even matter it really
doesn’t matter I would just make sure
you have a bunch of core content that
your website looks like a real website
right you’ve got about page you’ve got a
lot of good content I would say five six
eight posts minimum so when they go to
your blog roll because an affiliate
manager when you ask to get approved to
their program they’re gonna go look at
your site they’re gonna go make sure
you’re real and they want to know that
you’re a real person they wanna they
want to make sure you’re not going to
kind of butcher their brand because when
you like let’s say I’m let’s say I have
a product and I’m like you can go permit
the miles Becker product and you go to
Google and you’re like is miles better
or a scam right and that’s how you try
to get people into my product like
you’re killing my brand dog like I’m
never gonna let you do that so so they
want to make sure you’re not one of
those affiliates so build out a lot of
good content but you can start day one
if it really works I’m just wondering
how long do you need to build an
audience is it just a 90 day challenge
it doesn’t matter right like like what
if it takes you five years to build an
audience that generates twenty three
thousand dollars per month and you can
live on that for the rest of your life
you’re not gonna do the work says five
years of work what else you need to work
at a normal job for 40 years at a desk
in a court of God like it takes as long
as it takes so the sooner you get
started and the more passion and more
momentum you can build quickly the the
faster you will get there but it just
who cares how long it takes like this
lifestyle like it took me I’m like
eighteen year I’m almost twenty years in
the internet marketing game you think
I’m like sad because it took me 20 years
to get to this point my career Hale no
it took me 10 years to go full-time
online you think I’m sad no I got
friends stuck in cubicles still they
make good money I got friends maybe two
three four hundred dollars an hour but
like they are stuck in a cubicle they’re
stuck in courtrooms they’re doing their
legal that like
I got the lifestyle freedom if I want to
go to Bali next week I’m gonna go to
Bali next week I’m bring my business
with me I’ll bring you I’ll write a
story around it I’ll make even more
money through that story this way so
just do what it takes I’m is the
affiliate marketing model still a viable
business model I think we’ve proven
absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt
we’ve got to build it the right way
gotta build an audience you have to be
of service to an audience at scale that
that’s the key I’m just wondering we’re
here now should I sell products around
my market or niche or can I venture out
I believe this was Jacqueline to the
beauty health and what kind of posts
relevance is absolutely key if you’ve
built a website on writing for example
and you start talking about hair care
products people are gonna be like really
like there’s gonna be no relevance so
yes relevant relevant relevant that’s
part of why I made my main site miles
vector com because at some point if I
want to get into like building hot rods
and drift cars that’s me that’s what I’m
doing I can document that I could build
a little silo that’s totally out of this
space and I could document and I could I
could actually build around that and
that’s because it’s me and it’s person
that’s why I chose the miles vector comm
name is it gave me the most flexibility
moving forward but yeah once you’re once
you’re in a very specific vertical
maintain relevance because everything
works better with relevance which is
better for long-term Commission’s Amazon
affiliate networks I Clickbank
Commission Junction etc it doesn’t
matter the network it matters the
products that your audience wants but
they already want what they are what
will actually help them get the desire
what what company they have chosen to
manage their affiliate program is
insignificant right where that affiliate
program lies it doesn’t matter it’s
about the product and it’s about the
relevance of that product to the actual
results that they desire so it’s not
about that how do I use Amazon on my
Christian blog or should I so when
you’re asking me if you should this
clearly means that you somehow feel like
there’s like like affiliate marketing is
kind of scammy and if you understand
that you’re being of service to an
audience at scale and that’s your job
and that’s your goal and that’s what
you’re doing you’re truly moving forward
being of service to them of course you
should like these people everyone around
you your network though the whole world
is spending like there is a multi
trillion dollar per day economy flowing
around
is transacting all around you in the
millions and billions and trillions of
dollars every day all you’re doing is
connecting people who want something –
people who sell that thing they don’t
know about them they want you to help
them find them Bing and you connect them
how you connect them through you through
your content through giving value
through building a list through email
etc that’s how it works so of course you
should and I don’t know you should
promote like what do like to me when you
say Christian bloggers I don’t even know
what that means right like Christian
people make smoothies Christian people
play golf right like like go deeper
don’t don’t think there’s this thing
that’s like you know like it’s not you
versus the world here in any way shape
or form like what do Christian people
that are on your blog like what do they
do or they want what kind of goals do
they have like they’ll find those things
and like it’s crosses for the wall great
if it’s like jewelry with crucifix on
awesome I don’t know like you need to
know your audience though um but it’s
it’s just just make sure it’s of being
of service to them next I noticed that
many bloggers who live off of filip
marketing offer inferior products I
won’t say the one you gave an example of
but you’re right that is a very inferior
product because they bur ring high
mention the same token almost all
affiliate offers I find on Clickbank
catalogs seem questionable at the least
I’ve got one that I’ve been running for
several years it’s actually a really
good item so there are some good ones
hidden in there you just got to learn
how to sort through which is why I’m
gonna do that Clickbank video Monday so
here’s my question would you say it’s
possible to find enough high value good
quality of affiliate info products to
make a living absolutely absolutely
hundred percent so what what catalogs
and marketplaces do you recommend
finding them again you go find the
audience you can be of service to figure
out what their needs are through giving
content answering the comments engaging
with them and then go find the products
that will help them solve their problems
and achieve their goals it’s not the
network it’s about the people you’re
helping you have to go be a problem
solver at scale all that should have
made it in the curriculum part somebody
missed that that’s the quote you as an
affiliate marketer your job is to be a
problem solver at scale that’s what
you’re doing you’re helping hundreds of
thousands or millions of people solve
problems could be small problems could
be big problems you could have a small
amount of people solve a really big
problem and make a ton of money you
could help a big amount of people solve
a really small problem and make a ton of
money but your job is to really help
them solve their problems so that’s
that’s the key for the autoresponder
sequence before the daily emails how
should they
structured and how long test it really
doesn’t matter I do one email after my
here’s your thing that you asked for my
wife does nine emails that now wanders
them through a little bit of a segment
just test it it’s if it’s ever if your
autoresponder will always evolve they’ll
the best thing you can come up with
today get right back to your main core
content go revisit it in three months
look at what work look at what got good
open rates look what got good click
rates look at what got that open rates
and what got bad click rates and adjust
on the fly man we’ve gone back to look
at ours after not looking it for six
months to be like oh god our email
series was horrible like some of the
things we said like do we really say
that like I deleted one and like one
promised something on the next email
that didn’t actually show up and we
resist but we still like their business
in class like we just got to keep taking
imperfect action like that’s really the
key to it all and good on you so you
you’ve been building your list it’s up
to 50 people now that’s awesome
just keep going watch monitor your open
rates and on your broadcast to monitor
your open rates look at the percentages
of opens and when you see something at a
high percentage of open don’t just go
stuff that in your autoresponder take a
moment to think why first you always got
to think why what’s the psychological
reason that that actually happened
because it’s the psychological reasons
see emotional reasons that that trigger
people to action affiliate marketing
viable business yes it is is this
something newbies with no marketing
experience can get into with hard work
and succeed absolutely might take you
three five ten years but you hundred
percent you could actually absolutely do
it
well advice would you give a complete
beginner who’s working full-time and
looking to supplement their income so I
kept this question and I feel like I
answered it in very clear detail so if
you’re working full time niche out like
wake up earlier right if you work like
nine to five and you’re currently
working waking up at seven wake up at
five o’clock everyday before the kids
wake up before the wife wakes up before
anybody else wakes up and put it to
works two hours of work every morning
before you leave it’ll be the most
productive time get up hit the coffee
pot slam a big ol mug of coffee I prefer
one this size gigantic mug of coffee and
then put in two hours of solid work
creating content then when everybody
goes to bed on the other end put in two
more hours there and see if you can
sneak out a half hour on your lunch
break from work if you do that you’re
putting in four and a half hours a day
multiply that by five that’s over 20
hours a week if you can do that on the
weekends also you’re doing about
hours a week boom you’re on the path so
just niche out the time schedule the
time to create the content and do what
it effing takes it’s a lot of work but
think about your reason why think about
your family think about those reasons
why you’re doing it because you gotta
have a big reason why you’re gonna push
through because it’s hard alarm goes off
at five o’clock in the morning who the
hell wants to get up at 5:00 in morning
somebody who’s ready to put in the work
to create the lifestyle freedom that
they desire somebody who’s like I’m
gonna be able to go build my business in
Europe in in Australia in New Zealand in
Hawaii if you want like cheap beaches
expensive beaches I’ve seen them all
around the world I kind of like the more
expensive ones so guess what I do the
work so I can go to the expensive ones I
like New Zealand beaches which are a lot
more expensive than Bali beaches so I do
the work I like Costa Rica more than I
like Nicaragua it’s way more expensive
so what I do I do the work so I can go
to the ones I want to go to but that’s
my why I don’t know what your why is so
you’ve got to have that why you gotta
get some leverage on yourself dawna just
said has like choke on coffee Don just
said so many people put in 60 to 80
hours at a job so why not for yourself
and that’s the key and if you already
have 40 plus 1050 with commute to the
job like like you have to niche them out
for yourself it’s there’s like this
common the the richest man in Babylon
right save 10 percent of everything you
earn put it away for yourself pay
yourself first right do that with your
energy also don’t just do that with the
money that comes in from you jail be do
that with your energy also and you’ll be
amazed at what you can create because
saving money’s great investing is great
I love it I do it but the time and
energy I’ve invested in my internet
business and in these three brands and
my wife and I run has paid off like
better than any freaking like oh I put
$100 in cryptocurrency he’s like not
even close
how many affiliate offer how many
affiliate offers whoo all right Wow
we’re back how many affiliate marketing
offers should one have in order to be
successful well it’s at least one and
it’s probably gonna be more than one so
keep going until you find that magic
number for you there’s no set number how
many affiliate links should be on one
page or post I don’t know how many does
it take is it a specific post about one
thing or is it a review of the top 10
blender so this is a review the top ten
blenders I would have 10 affiliate links
if it’s one blender I would probably
have the link in there twice is it best
to make a page or a post about each
affiliate offer or just from a
the opt-in page through a video or
Facebook ad so if you’re doing a
Facebook guy go to the opt-in page but
also put in the time to create the
content to attract people from the
search engines so do both right I use
posts on my wordpress blog for all of my
content is it how do we get affiliate
offers when your brand newbies create a
great site build lots of content go
apply for the affiliate program and
you’re in how do we get good affiliate
offers when you don’t have a lot of
traffic okay I just answer that
literally that same one I’m started a
funnel you getting opt-ins but your
emails are going to the spam folder how
do you avoid this make sure it’s an at
your domain email address make sure that
you are using like a link redirect like
pretty links and I’ll put out a video to
really make sure we talk about how to
get your e mails in the inbox because if
your emails aren’t getting to the
primary inbox you’re not getting noticed
and your you’re missing out on the
interest and the desire because getting
no attention how am i dealing with
changes in the EU like GD P R what
changes have been made so if you go to
my website go to Mom’s backer column
just notice up top affiliate disclosure
first thing I put a huge bar up top it
has all my legal documents at the very
top is impossible for someone to say I
went to Myles his website and I couldn’t
see his disclosures bull the right up
top there the biggest boldest brightest
thing on my website so that’s what I did
and I bought the documents the GD P our
documents I’ve got them reviewed on my
website somewhere I know you prefer to
build and nurture your list before
presenting them with an offer but what
is the best strategy to approach a Cole
market in your industry
well you build a list through the cold
market you turn cold people into warm
people and then warm people into sales
and that is your list so don’t think I’m
saying like there’s never gonna be a
point where like oh yeah okay you can
send cold traffic there no no build a
list build a relationship add value to
their lives offer them things they
already want to buy when promoting a
product is our price point high low does
it matter what step in the value ladder
it doesn’t it based on the niche the
problem it’s a big problem for people
and they’re ready to solve it though
they’re willing to spend lots of money
for that our large brands such as Apple
interested in affiliate marketing not
directly but you could sell Apple
products through the Amazon program as
an affiliate and I think Apple likes
every sale that they get is Clickbank
good for beginners no network is good
for a beginner what’s good for a
beginner is realizing that you have to
give value to an audience I’m what niche
would you look at as a beginner
something you love something that your
heart is in do I recommend starting out
with promoting physical or digital
products buh
try both see what works what’s the best
way to get accepted by affiliate
networks put out a lot of great content
first and then reach out you don’t want
to depend just on Amazon and put all
your eggs in one basket are there any
other big enough sites with affiliate
programs that you can compete audio
recording equipment is your niche so
absolutely like B&H; photo video is one
go Google the products right so let’s
say you want a Google audio technica
whatever these headphones are there’s
like 300 our headphones or something
right
so go Google them look who comes up on
Google Shopping go to every single
merchants website and then look at the
bottom see if they have an affiliate
link in the footer
then go search their domain name in
Google with comma affiliates see if they
have an affiliate program you’ll be
amazed like everyone in the world has
affiliate programs on a hunch I think
augment link might actually have some
good programs commission junction
probably some good programs but yeah
just go do hit the Google and see what
the Google says how do you sign up for
affiliate marketing with a website host
or manufacturer is it a formal agreement
between both parties something
automatically picked up from online SEO
software so you you have to register
that’s some way you have to go to click
a button on their website and you fill
out an application they’re gonna want
your tax information so if you don’t
have a business then you would use your
social security number if you’re here in
the United States view a business you
probably an EIN which is an employee
identification number which is so you
can give them that instead of your
social and that’s so they can report for
taxes right and generally they won’t pay
you over 600 hours until you file a w-9
but they’ll ask for that usually it’s
what’s your name what’s your address
what’s your phone number what’s your tax
information what’s your website and any
special notes you fill that out it’ll
either auto approve you or they’ll put
you in a queue the affiliate manager
will review and then they’ll send you
access you to log in dashboard you log
in you can go get your links they’ll use
the up banner ads and other things for
you to do I have a content funnel to
drive conversion from information to
warm leads and even sales so it’s it’s
the pop-up it’s getting them on my list
and then sending them through the list
how do you research a topic in your
niche that you can provide good value to
your list as long as you can promote a
relevant product so go to the library I
get a library card go to library read
five books on the topic and you will
probably know more than most people in
the world on set topic right the best
blog post in the world your future self
will thank you it takes a ton of work I
get it yeah it’s a lot of work but
you will have created the best post in
the world Google likes finding the best
post world now go do that 400 times and
tada you will have an absolute behemoth
of a website if it sounds like a lot of
work it is that’s why I said it
beginning it’s a lot of work do you have
to use nofollow links everywhere and
disclose everywhere nofollow links I do
all my affiliate links are nofollow
links which means the search engines
don’t give my SEO value through that
link I have one big disclosure on the
top of my website to cover everything
three more questions here then we’re
going in the comments I’m still with you
I promise in my videos and posts I don’t
recommend the make money online
affiliate offers because it’s so
competitive so do I think they’re asking
if I think they should focus on health
and fitness relationships Beauty etc
instead what are good alternatives to
make money online what do you love to do
like like go deeper than that if you
want to do to make money online like
that’s so difficult like to me it’s
about like you you would need a subset
low so how single moms can make money
online is one of those things right but
the whole mom blog world is so crowded
already like it’s so difficult so then
it’s like well could you digital
marketing for real estate agents could
you do digital marketing for plumbers
that’s a way to kind of blend some of
this stuff with that that would be a
little easier because it gonna be less
people teaching digital marketing for
plumbers and there are people like me
teaching keyword research I mean if you
want to go in the ring after keyword
research and like look at the keywords I
have in the title here like if you want
to go for it like give it a shot like
I’m not trying to discourage you but
like know that you’re gonna be going up
against some of the best in the world
and me and I’m not the best in the world
I’m trying to be the most helpful in the
world but I am NOT ranking some pretty
good people for some pretty big SEO
keyword phrases at this point so that’s
one of the big challenges here so
ultimately I just think it works best
when you find a really subset like my
friend who combined Fitness for dressage
riding like I can’t even explain how
much they’re crushing it like their
numbers are so big in such a short
period of time because no one was being
of service to that audience that’s the
real trick they found an underserved
audience and they’ve created killer
content and she absolutely loves it you
could see it in her eyes
when she’s with her heart like her
horses like you could just see every
aspect of her life is dedicated to that
horse and horse people are crazy just
like crazy in a good way
just like golf people are crazy in a
good way just like gun people are crazy
in a good way like there’s all there’s
so many of these ear
passionately passionate is actually the
better term right there they’re
irrationally passionate which is a good
thing because when they start to find
you and you got tons of content they’re
like I love this so so find when you
find and under serve the audience life
gets a lot easier and I think it’s worth
digging into you deeper to find what you
love and where that overlaps with an
underserved audience because your future
self will thank you because you’ll get
to the money you’ll get to the
successful business much more quickly
with a lot less failures do you have to
have a huge email subscriber list to get
it accepted in affiliate marketing firms
no you don’t have to have a list at all
they can’t see your list size they don’t
care often can you still make six
figures income in the fitness niche
selling Clickbank products the last one
the answer is yes of course you can
takes a lot of work it’s not easy but
you can do it whoo all right so there we
go
um we got this going here so I’m gonna
find this Dave guys so it sounds like
Dave’s causing a little bit of a ruckus
here so put him in timeout no he’s done
from the channel forever so there we go
if anybody else is um causing a ruckus
in here like be sure to mark them as
spam or something like I’ll swing that
banhammer fast and they’ll never be able
to comment on my channel again and
that’s that’s just fun and easy for me
so I am now with you in the comments I’m
going back to the top on the scroll down
and we’re gonna hit these I’m gonna wrap
this dude I got coffee I got some water
I got an extra backup water
I don’t drink the Lacroix like this
bubbly water peach pear oh my god was my
hit right there that’s mine does my job
um it’s Malaysia India Nashville Italia
Biloxi yeah there we go Denver I’m just
kind of reading through the comments so
at this point I’ve gone through my email
list subscriber comments we’ve gone
through the curriculum you know that the
links in the description are designed to
give you all the nuts and bolts things
because I can’t show you step-by-step
right now I’ve got hundreds of videos
that show you all the nuts and bolts of
how to build a funnel all the how to set
up your email campaigns all that’s out
there so you got to dig in deeper so if
you want maybe you can copy those links
YouTube doesn’t let you copy the
description really well but the first
link is a miles Becker com forward slash
make money with affiliate marketing I
think dashes in between it’s the newest
blog post if you go to Myles Becker comm
scroll down below my headshot on the
home page
and the first blog post is not post all
those links are in that post and at the
bottom so that’s all the how-to stuff
and I’m going to go into the comments I
want to answer questions I’m like I got
40 minutes more and like might as well
just do everything I can to give
absolutely as much value as I can again
no pitches no wrapping this up no fake
scarcity no need for that stuff like I’m
trying to be a leader in the sense that
I want you to watch what I’m doing and I
hope you’re having a little bit of a ha
moment of like wow this guy miles is
doing things a little bit different than
most the other people who rank for how
to affiliate marketing right cuz they’re
all like oh yeah look at me bro life’s
cool my Porsche and my Ferrari my Lambo
bought cash for yeah man Bali like none
I don’t care about any of that right
like what I care about is making sure
you get the result that you want and
when you feel that and you know that
bingo there’s a new level of trust there
and when I don’t end it with almost
teaching you everything and then like
okay now just now just opt in for the
real answer right then I throw you in a
funnel and when I avoid doing all of
that with you the trust factors goes up
so I mentioned this because I want you
to do this for your audience because
there’s a lot of rubbish marketers
trying to be of service to your audience
but they’re really actually just trying
to sell people and when you come
out as a person who’s actually being
helpful and actually being like an
advocate for them and a trusted advisor
for them you stand out it doesn’t it’s
not a big thing my channel has never
done that at all and it won’t i won’t
have things go viral because of this
approach but what happens is people find
me they watch a video they’re who this
guy wow that was cool they watch another
video many people go on a little binge
watch and then they’re hook they are
they’re like miles becker fans and then
what’s really cool is you start to share
my videos you share it socially you
share in facebook groups when someone’s
like hey anybody know about instagram
marketing i boom check out miles this
video and you send a link for me and
that is really my ultimate long-term
goal and that’s how i’m thrilled in this
freight train of emotion or of momentum
freight trains don’t get going quick but
when they’re going you are not gonna
stop a freight train and that’s what i’m
building and it takes a long time so i
mean 90 days I did 120 videos and 120
days and I didn’t even have 500
subscribers at the end of a hundred and
twenty videos in 120 days that’s an
average of like four subscribers per
video most people would have quit at
that point but I knew where I was going
I knew where I’d be in this moment now I
just chugga-chugga-chugga you know
this locomotive keeps going and just the
momentum is growing and growing and
growing getting more reach every day
from YouTube I’m getting more engagement
every day which gets me more reach again
I’m putting out more new videos which
reach more people it’s just this this
big kind of upwelling of awesomeness and
I want you to do that for your people
too if you notice my channel very few of
my videos are promoting something I had
no ads it’s sometimes difficult for
people to find how to help me obtain
money right like I almost hide my
affiliate stuff my affiliate links and
that’s on purpose because I my goal is
to be the most helpful internet marketer
in the world and the most helpful
internet marketer in the world won’t
just spam links to you they will give
you knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb
whoo all right off the soapbox let’s
switch up here we’re gonna keep this
party going I love all the thumbs ups
and the muscles and the emojis it’s
awesome how do I build a list to use
WordPress as the destination by my DIY
sales funnel video series just search
DIY sales funnel and I literally show
you step by step in the course of the
first video show you how to make an
affiliate funnel but I’ve got like a
nine video funnel that will show you
everything that you need to know all the
way to building a membership program or
whatever cool we got a lot of people
answering other people’s questions I
love it beginner businessman what if the
thing I’ve been doing the past years is
learning and reading about marketing
consumer behavior
you find yourself trapped in the make
money group and you can’t find how to
stand out yeah yeah and so totally like
so a who can you apply that to this
being underserved right but be that I
mean that’s that’s the ultimate trap
right you go down the rabbit hole and
make money online you spend three four
five six years there then you got people
like me who’ve been down that rabbit
hole for like twenty years
that’s the challenge in that space so
take a couple steps back what did you do
before you went down that make money
online trap like if you had a hundred
grand a year coming in as eight thousand
dollars per month eight thousand three
hundred thirty three dollars and 33
cents every single month right that’s
about $2,100 per week every single week
in your bank account if that was your
life what would you do what would you
want to do who would you be of service
to what would you play with would you
build drones or their games you like
like really truly get introspective and
like what would you do with your free
time if you had a lifestyle that
afforded you more free time without
having spent all your free time looking
at how to make money
and it’s challenging to break out of
that mind bubble but once you do you’ll
see I mean I used to love BMX bikes
right like I got a pump track bought my
house I’m about to get a nice uh like
probably a dirt jumper bike or like an
adult sized BMX bike so rode BMX bikes
all growing up as a kid like what is
that thing were you a skater like like I
don’t know find that thing you love and
that you’re willing to do and play and
document and create and apply everything
that you’re learning to that you can
just speed up the process so much
so Kelly Walker off topic what am I
using now the board booster shut down
we’re moving over to tailwind I will put
my affiliate link if you’re interested
I’m getting started on tailwind that’s
for Pinterest Kile why there you go so
yeah we’re migrating over to tailwind
right now and I’m I have to like learn
do teach right so I’m learning how to
operate this new software we’re
implementing it as we speak and then I’m
gonna be able to teach you so I’m gonna
teach it at some point but I can’t just
like put up a video day one like we’re
over here now without actually giving
value of how to build it and how we’re
doing it so that that’s kind of where
I’m at at this point cool I’m loving all
the the capella thinking as I’m
scrolling through the comments just
looking for it I dig it you play the
long game Mike I totally do
there’s huge learning curve but once you
get through it’s amazing absolutely all
right I’m gonna do kind of a bigger
scroll here the copywriting course I was
talking about was called the vs elevator
accelerator it’s closed now at this
point do I recommend project bla bla bla
by bla bla bla no definitely not I don’t
recommend many things at all if you want
to see what I recommend go to Myles
Becker comm up top there’s recommended
tools and recommended resources those
are really the only things I use and
recommend hey miles how do you show up
on Google for YouTube videos I mean just
follow the basic SEO if you go search on
youtube for learn SEO not logged in I
think my video shows up on the first
page of Google which gets a ton of
traffic so yeah just you just gotta
apply good SEO I’ve got several how to
learn SEO it’s actually a playlist on my
channel this will be recorded so we can
rewatch it
good I’m glad you like the SEO video how
long does organic content take these
days to build an audience it takes as
long as it takes it depends on the
competition of the niche it depends on
your how eloquent you are of a writer
how good you are at keyword research and
SEO and do you have an authority side
that you’re relying on so my wife can
publish a blog post for a medium
challenging keyword phrase and it’ll hit
the first page of Google within a day
but she’s been doing it for nine years
so like just it takes as long as it
takes it’s worth it in a long time so
yeah somebody’s like seriously $5,000
later and I’ve learned more through
miles as videos than others
so cheers it does it takes a bit of time
my my videos aren’t super well organized
and if I was to take time to build
everything out in slideshows and really
organize them I’d be charging $400,000
for access and I don’t want to do that
so I just let people kind of get access
to to get to the content so so those who
are willing to dig in and hustle and go
down the rabbit hole I just want to make
sure that it’s there for them my cuerto
says breathe Myles breathe I’m I’ll
breathe later got time for that
Jimmy Choo oh welcome to party man glad
to see you here website that takes
automated aggregated video so this guy’s
saying there’s a website that takes
automated aggregated videos and embeds
it on their own website no words that
they show up on first place that do
those scamming things are gonna get
booted from the search engine at some
point they’re not on WordPress does that
matter WordPress was all it matters to
me
personally what do I think about passing
vendor and sales page straight to the
checkout cart
Andrae style so what they’re asking is
so generally on the vendor website
they’re gonna have like a sales page and
a checkout page and they’re asking like
can you do the pre selling and the
selling and link them directly to the
checkout page and set it to the sales
page I don’t know test it right use a
separate tracking ID which you should be
able to add in if you’re thinking of an
advanced strategy like this you know how
to add a tracking ID to it set your
tracking setup a campaign run it see
which one converts better do what the
data says works better what tax
structure do I recommend for affiliates
so start off as a sole proprietor just
start right I only built a corporation
which is an
s-corporation eight years seven years
and a bit now yes six years into
building our business when we realized
that if we wanted to buy a house we
would need to pay ourselves that was
really kind of one of the triggers and
self-employment tax was really starting
to become a very large number for us so
you don’t need to set up a structure at
first to run an affiliate business you
can operate as a sole proprietor based
off of your social security number
that’s how my wife and I operate it for
many years so the goal is to move
forward and start making money and prove
that you can do it and you’re gonna be
in it for the long term not spending
three grand on building an LLC on
something you haven’t even proven like
have you created 120 pieces of content
yet like that’s more important than
building a structure Marcus Carvalho
you’ve been in a lot of multi-level scam
trainings and actually for watching
these videos you’ve decided to learn by
yourself good man following all videos
cheers man if I could break people free
from those scam circles and there’s some
very honorable ones too but man there’s
too many too many scams here’s the
kicker they have not made their own
videos they just repost videos yeah I
get it I know there’s people scraping
I’m starting to Rafi a Matthias
there’s people scraping my videos and
publishing them on their blogs and I
report them to their hosts and I get
them shut down all the time as a DMCA
which is a digital marketing Copyright
Act so if you’re reposted like if you’re
opposing my stuff you put content around
it you add a link to miles bechler and
you give me kudos and shouts out good on
you if you’re scraping my content and
rhe publishing it without permission I’m
gonna go to your house and I’m gonna get
you banned so just know that that’s
there and I think I think you should do
that too how do you create a sales
funnel on Shopify I don’t I would add a
wordpress and I would create it on
WordPress I don’t use Shopify I don’t
like Shopify I don’t think Shopify makes
sense
Kevin Jones I like that man if you don’t
do something nothing happens
like it is that simple so go do lots of
things and lots of things happen what’s
my opinion on resources pages they can
work and see if it ranks give it a shot
in other words don’t enter the arena
with a lottery mentality 100% Tanisha
like hundred percent we’re not escaping
putting the work that’s not the goal the
goal is to go be of service to an
audience and to align with the right
audience and the right niche to where
you wake up every day stoked like lit a
welcome like 5:30 or 6:00 this morning
just all like being like birds chirping
I’m like yeah I get to do my live today
I
knowledge bonds because my goal right
now in this moment is like literally I
want to make the most comprehensive
learn how to do affiliate marketing
video that YouTube has ever seen because
when I do that right I get a thumbs up
from you because you hit the thumbs up
right so hit the thumbs up then YouTube
will be like damn this is by far the
best video it’s longer it’s got more
optimized text it’s got a better title
it’s getting more engagement in a
shorter period of time boom we’re gonna
show this to everyone in the future her
searches learn SEO or excuse me learn
how to do affiliate marketing forget
what video I’m making then I now reach
hundreds of thousands if not millions of
people over the next couple of years
with a video I did today on this day
right so that’s my goal and I’m excited
to put that out cuz I hate to be a value
to you and these random people I’ve
never met the future they don’t even
know who I am
they’re finding all the fake gurus right
now they’re about to find the miles back
there at some point be like whoa this
dude’s real deal and it’s just fun I
love it
Mike’s junk zero zero I recommend Aweber
to be honest for beginners um I’m gonna
send you the affiliate link if you’re
open to that and I got a video on how to
set it up how to set up so you can have
a follow up sequence that then migrates
people over to a broadcast list that’s
in the DIY sales funnel video series I
Tuesday Weber as my recommendation
because it’s easy to set up it’s one of
the most functional and it inboxes
better than anyone I’m on active
campaign also got to move myself off I
got I got trapped on active campaign and
you’ll find this when you move grow your
business at some point you you can make
a decision to align with a software you
get trapped and it’s actually extremely
difficult to untrap yourself and go to
something simpler but my the miles
Becker list will absolutely be moving
over to Aweber again because of its
simplicity I tested it I got over 6%
increase in open rates and that so that
would mean if I’m get a 30 percent open
rate that means I probably got an 18
percent increase in deliverability rates
from Aweber to active campaign Aweber is
the og there’s a special if you follow
my link that will get you access to it
what is your why you are giving your
heart and soul my why’s me them Alex my
why is to be the most helpful internet
marketer in the world I’m leaving a
legacy on this planet I’m leaving a
legacy on YouTube and if and when I’m
not if when I’m gone so we all go at
some point right who knows when that is
like I just want to make sure that this
information is out there no one was
willing to
take the time to teach 18 year old miles
22 year old miles 26 year old miles how
to build a business online I had to
figure that out myself it was tough
and I went down the wrong path too many
times and I just kept buying these
products that were just rubbish man I
hated it like and I was like it was his
weird cycle I was in debt I had $50,000
a lot student loan debt I had a credit
card
I was buying courses on credit card
thinking and that was the secret and I’d
do what they said and then like the the
loophole would closed up and I make no
money and I go buy another course and I
was in the cycle for years like
literally for years and I it was such a
depressing and challenging point for me
that I had a point that I’ve had this
voice of like you got to teach what you
know you got to teach what you know and
it’s my wife’s like you’re you’re
teaching because for your 18 year old 19
20 year old self like on that’s why I’m
putting this out because of people like
you might be getting trapped in that
that loop of psychological necessity for
these fake gurus that’s all a big bunch
of baloney and they actually keep you
from doing the things that are important
so my mission is to help solve that
problem for you and I put that under the
banner of being the most helpful
internet marketing world I am NOT gonna
be the wealthiest internet marketer in
the world I’m not gonna show big ol
income reports from monthly not none of
that I don’t even care those that’s a
vanity metric that means nothing to me I
will be the most helpful internet market
in the world for sure that’s that’s why
I do this on a Saturday morning versus
hiking when I live in a very beautiful
place I could be three four six miles
deep in a canyon hanging out with cliff
dwellings right now but I chose to spend
the time here with you because that’s
what the most helpful internet marketer
in the world would do that’s what keeps
my going how people are like breathe nah
hell no time for breathing later this is
exciting this is my mouth sweet spot
right here y’all so I just scrolled down
and it just jumped all over the
questions so I’m gonna go to a new
section here let’s see oh cool all right
found it what’s your why I’m so I’m
going through we got about 30 minutes
left so if you got questions you can get
there and God can we retarget Instagram
account audience with a thousand
followers I don’t know maybe it doesn’t
matter like that doesn’t just build an
audience give them what they want like
miles you’re such great inspiration
Cheers Lee and I appreciate that
Rock the affiliate promotion for your
product Leeanne you
product what’s your product are you
thrive themes huh well I’m glad I I’m
glad I rocked the affiliate promotion
for your product I don’t know what
product is so and pop that in there
Liane if you’re around I’m sure cash any
comment on why a to s hosting downtime
constantly I haven’t had any downtime I
still run a site on a to I haven’t had
any downtime I would ask them to migrate
you to another server if that’s
something that you need but um I haven’t
noticed anything on my end you gotta
remember that that when you work with a
shared hosting company like you’re on
one of 1,000 2,000 3,000 machines so
what happens on one machine probably
doesn’t happen all the other machines
and if you’re driving a lot of traffic
says what happens on a shared server so
if you bought the cheapest hosting that
they offer that means they’re putting
you on with the most amount of people to
get the right value for the real estate
there that they can and their numbers
they run really well the EIG they stack
like ten times the amount of people on
the server if you need the next level
look at what’s called a virtual private
server it will cost you more you’re in
control
a lot more control in that situation
cost for 30 to 50 bucks a month at that
point but there’s you and there’s maybe
six people on the server instead of a
hundred or so but I haven’t noticed any
downtime personally so I’m not really
sure what to say on that cool I’m just
reading through the comments shirt cache
okay I see you’re too busy to answer any
real questions I’ll talk to you later
you don’t time to waste so man that’s
it’s so interesting when people get
frustrated when I’m putting my time out
but they’re actually never gonna be able
to comment again haha goats on the road
you shared my name channel’s site with
many thank you I appreciate that that’s
really what I’m after
emotional momentum that’s the trick
Derek question what do I think of
buzzsumo for influence or research so
you know buzzsumo i’ve tried it it
doesn’t work for our niche because our
niche is such like the angel meditation
space like we are the dominant force in
here so anything my search for like our
keywords it just shows us but I think
it’s you know potentially a useful tool
I think just searching the hashtags
right like just go look find the people
who are creating content they’re easy to
find they’re on they show up really well
on Facebook you can find them through a
Google search result who dominates in
the world of organic SEO you can find
them on YouTube by just searching for
the right keyword phrase on YouTube
and looking at the hashtags on Instagram
influencer marketing is weird a lot of
people paying for influence I have a
friend who sells fake likes and fake
engagement and fake followers he makes
150 thousand dollars a month and he has
people who buy likes they bought well
they buy follows then they put up a post
and they buy likes to the post and they
buy comments to the post and they resell
that for seven hundred to a thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars and they pay 150
in all that engagement and they make a
thousand dollars and there’s no real
engagement it looks like engagement and
there’s there’s nothing there I think
it’s I think it’s a terrible business I
don’t know sleeps at night but a lot of
people are doing that tarik Richardson
thanks for turning me on a keyword
finder yeah totally I like them in some
ways as much as a trust so it ought to
be honest Derek like a trust is the only
other tool I would consider using it’s
just too much I get lost in there I get
confused it’s literally too much and the
in at this point my business I realized
and I think this is really powerful for
you watching is simplicity is actually
the key when you really boil this down
this business down simply of I create
content that’s helpful for an audience
I give them something super awesome
that’s even more helpful via email I
follow up with even more super awesome
stuff and everyone said I promote
something it’s it like there’s no ninja
there like I called the Viking approach
right and if you’ve watched like the
Viking is show with like Ragnar which is
badass up to season 5 season 5 sucked
anyways like at one point they were like
they needed to get to an ocean that was
like over the mountain they have these
big boats and they’re like we’ll carry
them over the mountain and like that’s
literally my approach like sometimes you
have to pick a boat up and carry it over
a mountain and like the Vikings weren’t
afraid of doing the work like oftentimes
my keyword research is me hammering on
my keyboard for three hours straight to
handwrite a list of variables and I’ll
do some copy paste and this that the
other to plug that in and I might get 6
keywords out of it that I’ve never had
or never seen before
to me it’s worth it most people will
only use a tool is gonna scrape they’re
trying to shortcut because because
automation and blah blah blah but the
automation doesn’t find all that thing
you can find with brute force effort it
really is small brute force effort
things overtime resources pages can work
I don’t really know what you mean about
what is my opinion on them if you have a
lot of resources or somebody put a
resource page but I don’t think it’s
gonna rank very well
Michael Lindvall once you get going when
do you start using business banking
accounts and your own accounts that’s a
good question it’s really important to
like this is basic bookkeeping I guess I
would start running a separate account
from day one so if you’re running on
your social security number I would set
up a separate account that only receives
money from your affiliate stuff and only
spends money for your web hosting your
email and all of that I would try to
itemize it you might need to put five
thousand dollars in there to get it
started probably could start with like
five hundred dollars in there to get it
seated for the first six months that way
your books are just easy to do at the
end of the year because you do need a
report this expense was for business
this income was for business this was
from my day job and and if you know if
it’s all commingled there’s a pain in
the ass at the end of the year so
immediately as my answer there alright
people asking the same question twice
cool I really appreciate all the kudos
you guys I’m kind of skipping those but
I really do appreciate it’s like it’s
amazing what humans will do for
appreciation of others so I really do
thank you for that making its mind I’m
presently using Facebook to share
content should I switch to creating a
blog on my website and learn SEO the
James to the aim is to generate more
traffic I sure would
so depends on what kind of content right
what are you sharing on Facebook and
like can you create long-form pieces of
content that that Facebook content could
also link back to because if everything
you’re doing is on the Facebook
ecosystem you are at the whim of sucks
and sucks does not care about you the
moment he sees you in between one of his
random ass goals that he has which are
that’s creating cryptocurrency or what
that dudes doing you will get turned off
I see an ad accounts band I’ve seen
entire fan pages deleted for no apparent
reason I’ve seen I’ve seen some deleted
for apparent reasons right like they
flat-out broke a term of service but
I’ve also seen it to where they get
literally eliminated for no apparent
reason so I think you need to own the
racecourse oh I got a video about owning
the racehorse you can search that if you
want but I think you do need a digital
home that you own and a WordPress site
is something that you own you also get
that long-term try
right if we were so at one point in
Facebook we were generating over 300,000
visits per month from our facebook
strategy from our fan page of nine
hundred and some thousand people right
so there was a period of time when we
were all in it was a part-time job to
keep Facebook full of content and it
made a ton of money and a ton of traffic
and a ton of subscribers but then they
changed the game
they changed the algorithm and that all
stopped right our facebook traffic is
now down to twenty or thirty thousand
visits per month roughly just off the
top of the head our Google traffic is
still like you know four hundred
thousand visits per month so the
potential for long-term residual traffic
is key and that’s what I like let’s see
here
so Ed Mosley any chance you could answer
my question we were talking about
yesterday about niching down and fitness
on here you’re struggling to commit to a
niche and believe you could be heard so
you got to find that subset right like
my friends with the fitness for dressage
riding you know fitness for veterans
fitness for go kart racers fitness for
jockeys right like I you just you got to
find that next thing but it also needs
to be in alignment with you right so
like fitness for American Ninja Warrior
athletes fitness for marathon runners
fitness for like I don’t know what that
thing is for you but you have to dig in
and find something to add on to fitness
so you can stand out because right now
you’re not able to stand out because the
whole fitness space is absolutely
overwhelmingly saturated but fitness for
marathon runners might be wide open or
there might be three people or five
people dominating that space and you
might be able to fitness for ultra
marathon runners fitness for swimmer’s
fitness for long-distance swimmers but
you have to love that right you have to
do that if you don’t run marathons don’t
think you’re gonna step out and start
teaching people fitness for marathon
right like homegirl who’s doing the the
fitness for dressage riding like she
competes in dressage riding like she’s
literally like on a path to the Olympics
maybe maybe not like that’s a that’s a
huge that’s a very tall order to be
honest but she’s on a path to becoming
one of New Zealand’s top to sauce riders
for sure like undoubtedly she’s been
placing in local tournaments recently so
that’s the kind of content that goes on
her social media that reinforces the
story of she really is
the expert in dressage and fitness she’s
fit bird for sure like it just fits so
what’s that thing for you right it has
to be authentic Olean you’re on Jon
Benson’s team yeah awesome cool that was
a great I was wondering if that was you
guys that’s cool um Jon Benson’s awesome
so Lee Anne if you’re still around he
mentioned because my list at the time
that we did that launch was like 3,500
subscribers and I think I was like right
up there with Todd Brown and a couple
other people who promoted you have like
hundred K lists and he was like dude I
need an interview so if John wants to
interview me at any point hop on I’m
gonna be in my home studio for another
three weeks I got a real estate deal of
North actually I’m gonna be kind of
close to him I’m gonna be up in
Washington area so yeah I don’t know we
could reach out I’d love to hop on do
like a piece of content with him he’s
he’s pretty gangster
so Solaris you’re very welcome
Cheers Jack’s tip yeah when miles never
only has 65 viewers on a livestream
video wow this is the only only the star
for this guy crazy so I did a video I
want to tell you like if you guys are
still with me here’s some really deep
inside him site on SEO stuff that we’re
doing right now
cheers lien I appreciate that that’d be
really fun so I did a video called learn
SEO and I did three target keywords for
that phrase learn SEO SEO course forget
what it was I wrote it in the corner of
my whiteboard and it was a whiteboard
video like this and I did it live and
now I’m out ranking Neil Patel I’m out
ranking the backlinko guy on outrank
ranking like the biggest names in SEO on
youtube for this really three all three
of those really big keyword phrases I’m
even showing up on the first page of
Google so I looked at that and I was
like what did i do there I wrote a
really good title which I’ve got here I
wrote a really long detailed description
which I’ve got here the tags I got that
here I did it live and I noticed when I
was looking at the search engine results
page on YouTube that video I was like
because I go back and analyze when I see
something that sticks I go and I’ll just
scare it like what did I do different
here and it said recorded live or
something versus uploaded three weeks
ago or uploaded nine months ago right
like there’s just that little indicator
I was like aha so now this video you’re
watching is actually a test from
of instead of just doing this video
pre-recorded and uploaded do I actually
trigger the YouTube algorithm extra
bonus benefit for doing this live with
you so if this video jumps to the top
for the there’s three keyword phrases in
the title I got all three of them in or
maybe yeah there’s three main keyword
phrases you can figure out what those
are in the title so if I hit the number
one spot for all those and it’s not
alive guess what you’re gonna see me do
a lot more of live classes because there
might be that little edge I can get on
my competition by doing it live not just
recording and uploading if that isn’t so
I don’t know if that’s true yet I have
one data point that shows like wow I’m
out ranking some serious SEO weight in
this world so I’m now like kind of in
this more like like test it again right
test observe what happened test it again
so that’s kind of why I’m doing this
live and it’s funny I didn’t even do a
full promotion of the live stream I
email my list of course but I didn’t put
it on Facebook or anything cuz because
really I’m doing this for the SEO value
and a long-term value and I hope this
actually connects I know this video will
connect with thousands and thousands and
thousands of people over the next
several weeks and if I hit that number
one spot for all three of those keywords
it could it could jump to you know a
hundred thousand two hundred thousand
views in the course of the next year or
two which would potentially be up there
with my top videos so that’s that’s
really what’s going on here I’m really
kind of interested it’s a test in one
senses cool quick comment on IG TV oh
yeah Instagram TV don’t know damn thing
about it my phone battery died and I’m
just not on Instagram I don’t love
Instagram yet like I don’t feel like we
get some traffic and I’ve connected with
people for sure on it I feel like it’s a
waste of time I’m these things are so
much more powerful than Instagram TV I
will never stop doing a YouTube thing
for an Instagram thing okay I just said
never and that’s a quick way to shove a
foot in my mouth in like nine years or
something so with the way the world is
today I don’t see myself spending any
time that I would spend with YouTube
over on Instagram for any logical reason
because this is a search engine that’s a
timeline that disappears and the moment
is gone from Instagram TV and their
algorithm bumps you down to the next to
the next to the next of the shelf life
today or to the shelf life of those
videos a year
or ten so this is this is key a right
sweet if you have not done this study
can you tell the noobs just like
creating a blog site what resources are
needed so yeah like Solaris 575 in the
description of this video
I have a link that is to my DIY sales
funnel video series if you go to the
miles becker
channel here on youtube you can click on
playlists and go find the DIY sales
funnel video series if you go to google
and search DIY sales funnel video if you
go to youtube search engine and search
DIY sales funnel video all roads will
lead you to my DIY sales funnel video
series that’s where i show you i
literally i’m like i show you not only
which ones to choose but how to set them
all up how to tie them all together so
you get your WordPress installed on the
host you get your theme installed so
your WordPress looks good you get your
autoresponder set up and tied into your
theme so you can do all of the opt-in
stuff from your WordPress site so the
information is out there you just got to
go find that series specifically and
then dive down probably the best
resource would be on miles becker comm i
think it’s four slash clickfunnels –
alternative is actually the URL but
search DIY sales funnel on my site and
it’ll show up because i’ve actually laid
out all the videos on one post so it
just i kind of consolidate everything
and you won’t have the distraction of
youtube with all the stuff around there
ivenn go small niche and try to dominate
or get a piece of a big niche with a
strong pain point so i’m all about small
niche but you can get in a really small
subset and work your way up so my home
girl who’s in the fitness for dressage
riding she could get into fitness for
horseback riders which is a larger
audience there’s more people who like
horseback riding than dressage but she
might not need to she’s absolutely
crushing it and she’s being of service
to the small niche so I always think
niching down makes really really good
sense my wife’s main brand is in the
channeled angel meditation space the
reason this is working for me on a Myles
Beckler brand which is very broad which
is countered to a lot of what I teach is
what I’m bringing 20 years of experience
to the table and a willingness to share
everything
free where everyone else in this space
is trying to charge for the same
information I give away for free I’m in
a position to be able to do this because
I don’t need the money because I have a
very successful business most people
aren’t in that position so what I’m
doing is like Gary Vaynerchuk gets it
right like I’m just being patient as eff
that is literally what I’m doing here I
know I’ll get mine when I write a book
and I hit the New York Times bestseller
and also feel like Miles Beckler who’s
this dude all right I come out of the
woodwork for many takes a long time to
create an overnight success so that’s
literally what I’m building up to and I
might have to do YouTube videos for 10
years before I hit that New York Times
bestseller so here we are almost almost
a year to just chugalug and that’s my
thought and you’re very welcome
Otto posting the latest news along with
100% original content is bad for SEO for
your website
all right so Raffy auto posting is bad
is that clear like I don’t think I’d be
more clear than that if your auto
posting anything that’s a recipe for
disaster could it work temporarily yes
but could it be doing something else in
the code so could there eventually be an
algorithm change to Google that gets
your entire website D index and all that
work you put in for however many months
it worked for or years gets totally
collapsed and destroyed yes and that is
why I say auto posting anything is not a
good idea I can’t be more clear than
that like no scraping no reposting no
Autobots or Auto Blog BOTS none of that
stuff that stuff will kill you
eventually might work it’s a very
short-sighted move and I’m trying to
help you think long term how do I know I
live through 2012 right through the
hummingbird update the Panda update the
penguin update my website is still
around kick in generating millions of
visits per year when I was alive before
those days – and I saw friends who were
making 20 30 40 grand a month their
websites went to zero because they got
hit by the Google band hammer I’ve seen
what that can do to a business and I’ve
seen what I did to their emotions people
committed suicide over that I got
heavy and I’m serious right now like
they played on a very gray area and it
bit them in the ass right so don’t play
in the gray area play in the in the very
clear create great content now can you
manually curate content and add to it
and build a great brand inside around it
yes but to be honest with you you got to
do it manually it takes the work don’t
try to avoid putting in the work so Alex
saw my number one rankings not surprise
tears glad to hear that so new key
especially with Facebook Instagram auto
posting I get what you mean by Auto
posting Rafi I think you I think we’re
clear here Kevin I’m glad you caught
onto this one looking forward to watch
the whole thing later cool it’ll be up
soon Rafi I got you chill everybody
chill like I’m going through this one at
a time
ninja Pinard of interest I don’t I won’t
use ninja Fenner personally great
explanation of YouTube’s long-term value
versus Instagram cool glad to hear that
so Mike I’m Tinelli
your company provides local news to a
population of a hundred thousand people
so even if they have even if you have a
hundred percent of your demographic
following us that’s a pretty limited
audience any advice yeah be the absolute
only source that they go to and make
your content so good that they share it
with everyone they know because if you
think that’s all you have then you’re
you’re thinking way too micro and you’re
not realizing that all those people are
probably connected to 150 to 200
separate people so let’s multiply a
hundred thousand by two hundred what’s
that number it’s a big number right so
that’s how you grow it you just have to
write that epic of content that’s not
good enough for them to read right
that’s probably what you’re doing now is
like okay and we’re getting the
readership how do you make it so good
that they actually share it like who
broke the news for the Panama papers
right and this is I’m not being super
literal I don’t really know enough about
it but like journalists break right
like small journalists at small like
Erin Brockovich there you go like that I
don’t know there was an old movie about
that like she was just some small-town
lawyer right like like like people in
small areas can do big things right
don’t think you’re limited just because
you have that audience right now you
can’t do something big and global and
write these opinion pieces that get
picked up by Drudge Report or Zero Hedge
or if you’re the other side of the the
platform like The Economist could
mention you in something like I don’t
know what those are for you I don’t know
your niche but like remember that you’re
not actually limited that is a false
belief that you have right there so
write epic content and then sell more
stuff to the same people right
how do you J bruh ham there’s only three
ways to grow a business on some more
things make more per sale some more
things that new people make more money
for every sale sell more to the people
you already sold stuff to that’s it’s
the figure out which one of those levers
that or needles or knobs or dials or
switches is easiest for you to trigger
and go do that but um I really think
creating excellent shareable content
could get you well beyond that number
that you think is your current ceiling
how can you find give free content that
you can use to bait searches men like
Raffi’s stop baiting people like don’t
bait people don’t try to get PLR like do
the work if you can’t write great
content that gets people interested hire
writers to do it if you’re not money to
hire writers go get a job locally make
money locally and invest that into your
internet business through great content
there is no shortcut you’re looking for
the shortcuts man like you’re not to get
blocked on the channel if you don’t
change that mindset you can go back to
the spammer websites Pranay how long do
you think it will take to get successful
three or four hours of good work a day
you know that that depends man like I’ve
heard a thousand days at three or four
hours a day is the way to get there
that’d be four thousand hours there’s
the 10,000 hour rule that we what six
years or something like that I don’t
know what skills you bring the table
like who cares like my my question to
you Pranay instead of like how long will
it take is like is it worth whatever it
takes to get your desired result because
your doesn’t sound like you’re there yet
right like if it’s not worth it to you
in the end to create a total lifestyle
freeing business keep waking up your
alarm clock and doing your commute and
doing your normal job it’s okay to do
that our world needs employees right
like when I go to Whole Foods I want
people at Whole Foods to check me out
like our world needs those two I like
people who clean houses so I can hire
somebody come clean my house and the
lady loves cleaning houses like it’s
awesome she does what she loves she’s
stoked that pay her I do what I love
which is with here with you stoke I
don’t do that thing I don’t love which
is cleaning perfect like our world needs
all people you don’t have to be an
entrepreneur I’m not here to convince
you to be an entrepreneur it’s okay for
you to work a traditional job but if you
are interested like isn’t it worth doing
whatever it takes for as long as it
takes to create the lifestyle that you
truly desire like that that’s really the
the point in my personal opinion Rafi
I’m glad I’m glad you got I’m glad
that’s clear I’m glad we got that here
man um Google banhammer was that about
plagiarized content so the banhammer was
swung for people doing link wheels link
pyramids it was a lot of like
backlinking strategies that got people
banned it was some plagiarized comment
the the auto blogging software got hit
really hard there like so
panda penguin hummingbird all focused on
different things and here’s something
important to keep in mind about Google’s
algorithm right now so of the thousands
of people who work on Google’s algorithm
that code base it is Google algorithms
of the thousands of engineers software
jurors who work on it zero were there
when it was written so nobody actually
knows how this thing works it’s now this
behemoth a hodgepodge this duct-taped
together and and so they’ll be like ok
we’re tired of seeing these scraped
content showing up on the first page of
Google how do we get rid of it and some
engineers gonna go look at it me like I
don’t know what do we got taken out that
part like I think so I’m gonna ask
another engineer and they’ll come
they’ll do their meetings and so just
yank one piece out and that creates all
kinds of collateral damage and if you’re
on a gray area somewhere over here
they’re trying to fix this over here
they change the code they think fixes
that but you just got hit that’s how it
works today so that’s why I’m like
squeaky clean at this point all right
10:57 if you made it to the end hashtag
