we are going to talk about one of my absolute favorite ways to make money and that is with affiliate marketing but beyond like what it is and how to get started i want to explain to you my exact method and plan and whatever else to make 10k months with affiliate marketing and this is not something that's like hard or unattainable or just for people who have a large audience if you'll put the work in this can totally be done this is totally achievable and i want to walk you through how hey howdy hey y'all what is up welcome back to my channel if you are new here my name is jessica stansberry and i am pumped that you are here i help creators create content create money and create a life they love so if that is something that you you know are down with go ahead and hit me up with

if you want to download that it is completely free all you have to do is go to hey jessica.com forward slash amp affiliate marketing playbook amp okay so hey jessica.com forward slash amp and i will make sure that is linked below in the description as well but let's just get into it okay so before we actually talk about the plan let's talk a little bit about why affiliate marketing is so awesome first and foremost it is because it is almost completely passive when we talk about passive income and i've said this before on my channel and you've heard me say it in videos a lot of times it's not actually passive it's just because the work happens on the front end and when someone purchases then it's passive on your end right but affiliate marketing is very very passive like there's no deliverable you don't have to create anything you literally just have to create the way that someone figures out they can buy from you or buy through your link and then the company that you're sending traffic to does the rest so it's a really really awesome way to make money and it can be done whether you have a small audience a big audience whether you're running paid ads or organic content you can take part in affiliate marketing regardless of which one you fit into and just a quick little like debrief of what affiliate marketing is if you are coming and you have not watched one of my like what is affiliate marketing beginner affiliate marketing tips how to get started with affiliate marketing videos which i have and i will link below but affiliate marketing is essentially getting paid to promote someone else's product opps other people's products so if you are a content creator in any way or someone who you know has the knowledge to run ads or whatever the scenario is you can create a relationship with affiliates so with companies with services whatever where you get a certain type of commission or a certain percentage of the sale that happens when someone clicks through your link so let's say i was going to tell you guys to go buy this phone stand which i do love it's from amazon and it is linked below but let's say i was going to tell you guys to go buy this phone stand i would just be like hey you know this is an awesome phone stand and you're going to be like oh my gosh it looks like an awesome phone stand and then you'll go down to the description and you'll find the link where i'm like my awesome phone stand and when you click that link it has a tracking number on it that allows amazon to see that i sent that traffic there now when you buy this and or you buy anything else after you have clicked that link in that session on amazon i get a commission for it amazon pays crap but it's still a little bit all right so when it comes to the plan for a 10k month from affiliate marketing first and foremost what i want you to do is i want you to find a group of affiliate services preferably that you can promote that will pay you on a month to month basis because they are a monthly subscription service so example the best example i have is netflix now i have no idea if netflix has an affiliate program nor how they pay their affiliates so i'm just using this as an example but we all know that in order to keep watching netflix we have to pay a monthly fee right so let's say it's ten dollars a month everybody who watches netflix is going to pay 10 a month but let's say that you are promoting to your audience to sign up for netflix and netflix's affiliate program is set up in a way where when someone signs up you get a percentage of their monthly fee forever that's the kind of stuff we want okay so i highly recommend that you find companies that charge a monthly fee to the user and then therefore give their affiliates a cut of that monthly fee for the users they send in now if this is going to be harder in different like industries i also want you to remember that you don't want to just affiliate to be affiliating like you want to be an affiliate for companies that you actually like and use and care about and want to promote so sometimes this can be a little bit hard to find that would be like the base of the plan is to come up with two three four companies or services that you love and you use and your audience will care about because remember we're talking to our audience and establish an affiliate relationship where when you send them someone they pay you a percentage of their monthly fee now i've told you all this before this was the very first way that i started making affiliate income and that was when i was just beginning in this like online space in 2015 with my first podcast we were one of the first podcasts to be accepted into convertkit which i love convertkit email marketing service stuff into their podcast affiliate program and what that meant was we got i don't remember the percentage let's say 20 20 of the monthly fee for each person we sent to sign up for convertkit and at the time they didn't have a free option and we had the ability to say if you sign up with our link you can get 30 days for free so we signed up a ton of people and we're making thousands of dollars a month from that one company and even as the podcast went on and more and more people started promoting it and convertkit changed their plans and changed their affiliate stuff we were still able to make a really decent chunk of money because of the initial group of people we got to sign up so now i will say that my base here of companies that will pay me month to month ongoing is convertkit although they've changed their affiliate plan a little bit and i don't love it as much but we'll put them in this category convertkit and then click up which y'all know i use and love and they sponsor this channel but i'm also an affiliate and so when you sign up for click up the paid version of click up if you sign up through my link i will then get a percentage of your monthly fee which is kind of like a finder's fee if you will right and then the other company that i use in this capacity is tubebuddy so if you're not familiar with tubebuddy it is a youtube like help tool it like gives you tools that youtube does not have natively built in so you can grow your channel so you can do more things and it also pays in that way so these are kind of the companies that i start with as a base of but yours are going to be different yours are going to be what your audience cares about what your people want to talk about but what i would do is start with a base of companies services subscriptions whatever that are going to pay you in that model if you can't find any but there are services that people pay for monthly but their affiliate program doesn't do that i would reach out and ask for it for instance click up click is a great example of this when i first started communicating with clickup to be an affiliate and like talking to their team they did not have this type of commission set up it was just a one-time fee and i told them i did not want that i told them i wanted to be paid on a monthly recurring basis and because i spoke up and told them that that was something i preferred they now do that they now offer that as an option to their affiliates okay sometimes it just takes asking right and for me the reason i care is that here's the thing if i'm in like on like the ground floor of a company like convertkit or click up and i become an affiliate for them in the beginning right and then they become way more popular more and more people become affiliates for them or they change their pricing model and clicking through an affiliate link isn't as like enticing for whatever reason i still did the work on the front end to send those people there so if i'm only getting a one-time fee even if it's a little bit higher i still feel like i'm not getting out of that relationship what i was putting into it so to get a recurring fee allows me to feel like even if like other people start affiliating i have got this bucket of people that i helped discover the platform in the beginning okay so that's step one find a base layer of affiliates that will pay you on a recurring basis whatever that looks like then of course sign up to be an affiliate for people services things that you already use and love now i will keep this category service based so any kind of subscription model or service that you use or one time off like service fee for things that you use and love already and that your people will use and love for example some services that i use and love that i know y'all as creators and entrepreneurs will use and love are canva siteground hello audio fg funnels epidemic sound all of these things are companies that i actually use and love that i want to share that maybe aren't doing that recurring commission but i can still sign up as an affiliate with them and i want to share them with my people right so we're going to eventually have three buckets of companies that we're working with one would be the people who pay monthly recurring revenue based on their subscription model two is going to be the services that you already use and love that you want to promote and be an affiliate for and then three is going to be products actual physical products or even digital products that are not like services they're one-off purchases now let me reiterate that on in all three buckets you do not absolutely do not want to affiliate for things that you don't use and love and actually feel good about promoting if you do that your audience is going to feel that you're being disingenuous and that you know these things are going to let them down and then they're not going to come back and click through any of your other affiliate links because they now don't trust you so services that pay monthly you still have to like them and love them and want to do the things and want to promote them right services that don't pay monthly pay a one-off fee you still have to know them and like them and trust them and want to promote them and same thing with products so in this products category you're gonna look at possibly being an affiliate for certain stores so for instance if you go to my website hey jessica.com you'll see that there's a couple of ads in the sidebar of the blog and then at the bottom of the website for my friend christina scalera's contract shop so this is a digital product this is something where she sells ready-made contracts like legal contracts for creatives and it is something where i make an affiliate commission if someone clicks my link and buys her thing so in that case i went straight to her store to sign up to be an affiliate but for a lot of like big box stores or really big companies they're going to have their affiliate program ran through something else so there's a ton of companies you could possibly go through to promote products amazon being the most like normal and talked about one anybody can be approved to be an amazon affiliate you just have to sell a certain amount of things in a certain amount of days but amazon is a great one to start with like to know it or reward style so like to know it is the user side of it is the app that people download reward style is the creator side of it and that allows you to be an affiliate for a ton of stores without having to individually go and do it so like wayfair walmart i think i've like linked to home depot for my desks and things through reward style so you can absolutely sign up for an umbrella company to be an affiliate for a lot of products or a lot of different stores now that we have our three buckets now that we know things that are going to pay us monthly services that we want to promote and that we're going to make a commission off of and products that we want to talk about now the main step of the plan is to create content to promote those things like that's all you've got to create content to promote those things i'm actually going to do an experiment so by the time you see this i will probably be a couple weeks into that experiment but i'm definitely going to do a video on it but basically i'm going to start being more active on tick tock and the main premise behind it is to drive affiliate sales so i'm going to do an experiment to see how much money i can make from tick tock through affiliates in like a month's time frame but like that's a great way to do it another great way is to create videos where you are promoting your affiliate links so tech youtubers tech youtubers who are reviewing things like cameras and webcams and cell phones and like whatever else yes they're reviewing it and that is their content but also it is linked in their description to their affiliate link so if you go buy the thing that they're promoting they get money so that is content that is driving your affiliate sales anytime that i do content around click up or convertkit or email marketing or podcasting or whatever i can have affiliate links included in that and the whole goal of the video isn't necessarily for me to push my affiliate link on you the goal is actually to help you with the thing i'm trying to help you with but it doesn't hurt that i'm gonna make some affiliate commission because i promoted a thing that you need to do the thing and now you're gonna click through my link and buy the thing and i get the money got that so the real plan here is having the affiliates in place and remember i have a free guide to help you plan who those affiliates are going to be to help you plan out your content plan all of that at hayjeska.com forward slash amp but the real goal here is to like find the companies to work with and then create a consistent content plan whether paid or organic to drive content and to drive clicks and traffic to those links so for me most of mine is organic i'm creating organic content that goes on the platform and if people click through my links then that's how i make affiliate commission there are people who are using paid content to do that they're running facebook ads tick tock ads youtube ads just to drive people to their affiliate links so let's say i wanted to drive someone to canva right like i love canva we use it literally every day in my business and i wanted to drive people to canva then i might create a paid ad for tick tock that just talks about why i love canva and the link in the ad just goes to my affiliate link and every time someone signs up i get some money there's a lot of different ways to do this and i would say like the dude bro marketing way is to run paid ads and honestly what most creators are going to want to do is to create organic content that lives forever in a platform that will continue to drive affiliate sales their way so here on youtube for instance i haven't made a video about trello in years like years because i ditched trello at least three years ago so i haven't done content about them in that long yet still to this day i get people going through my affiliate link now one of the reasons i left trello was because their affiliate program was trash and they weren't open to discussing a further option so my point here is that content i create here on the youtube platform can live for months and years after i've actually put it out so those affiliate links can be living for months and years after i've put it out on the internet and that's the kind of stuff you want if you're someone who is sharing products on the regular like you know you're ordering things like this phone stand or this tripod or like whatever and you're sharing things on the regular where i really think this fits is like with fashion instagramers or beauty bloggers or things like that home decor people they're sharing things on the regular you will want to come up with a schedule to share what you have to share in a way that feels organic and is organic but has your affiliate commissions tied to it so for me because i'm not someone who really pushes products i'm usually pushing services or things like that because that is what y'all need more than like actual physical products i don't tend to make videos here on youtube about a specific product now will i mention them sure like here's this tripod i love or here's this thing i love or whatever but i don't generally go out of my way to create content here on youtube about that but i will share it on instagram stories and share the link for example just recently i had to reorder my eye cream and i used the it cosmetics eye cream okay and this is the first time i've ever really used something like this and like used it all there's a little around the edges but that's it i've used most all of it and i had to reorder it and as i was reordering it i got to thinking about like the difference in my eyes after using it and how good it's done for me so instead of making a youtube video about it because that has nothing to do with you as creators i'm going to go on my instagram stories and i did go on my instagram stories and talk about the fact that like this was my favorite eye cream and give the link and people purchased through my link so i made some money so i think the key here again let's like break it down just a little bit you want to have the buckets services that are going to pay you monthly services and things like that that you love and you can be an affiliate for and then products physical products digital products that you're going to get a one-time fee for and that kind of thing so you want to have that and then you want to have a plan in place on how your content promotes those things but you also want to keep it very organic and very authentic i am not going to ever go on instagram stories or here on youtube or anywhere tick tock like whatever and just promote something because i'm an affiliate for them i'm gonna have to have an actual reason behind why i'm promoting the thing so for instance in my tick tock experiment like i'm not gonna just go on there and be like hi i'm jessica and you should use canva here's my link like i'm actually going to give real use cases and real examples of how to use canva and if they want to sign up there will be a link in my bio so keep it authentic keep it organic keep it true to you and you can see 10k months pretty easily all right i know that was a lot i do i'm looking at my camera and i'm like wow i've been talking for 26 minutes when you see this it won't be quite that long because you know we edit out like where i flub up over my words or whatever but i know it was a lot so to kind of like condense it and really like spend some time with it go download that free guide hey jessica.com forward slash amp the letter a the letter m the letter p i will have it linked below as well i plan to have a little bit more affiliate marketing content in the next few weeks so if you have anything you specifically want
