marketing funnel and I'm gonna step you guys through this step-by-step now I want to give you guys a disclaimer here just because I've made over a million dollars with affiliate marketing and by the way this can work with anything selling your own products or whatever but just because I've had these types of results I'm not saying that you are going to get these results this has taken a lot of time and effort and even over a span of years to be able to get my business to this point however I want this to also be inspiration to you guys you know this is going to be a very educational video where I step you guys through this so please pay attention and if you need to rewind this video or save it do so so that way you can come back and see literally from someone who's made over a million dollars and then you can go back and check it out and try and replicate it into your own business okay so let's dive right in and what you guys can see here on your screen it says million dollar affiliate funnel okay now what I want to share with you guys is something pretty cool okay it all starts with generating traffic alright and so right here I have three different platforms that I'm sharing with you and actually I do use every single one of these platforms so you see Instagram here you see YouTube right here and a blog what you must understand about building an online business whether it be selling your own products or as an affiliate is that you have to have targeted traffic that means not just any type of traffic but you must have someone who would be interested in the products that you are selling so we do that by creating content that is specifically targeting our ideal customers or our prospects and that is why we go out and we create a blog and we start creating content around products or in a specific niche that will draw in our ideal client or customer now YouTube I'll tell you right now YouTube has been one of the most powerful growing factors in my own business okay and then Instagram you know I do use Instagram however I don't really use it as a force of driving a ton of traffic now the and I'll tell you exactly why and I'm gonna give you my recommendation when it comes to starting and growing an online business this is where most people fail to actually get results all right and this is the mistake I made when I first started is that they'll start with too many different platforms okay maybe they'll start with YouTube then they'll start creating a blog and then they'll do Instagram and then they'll do LinkedIn and then they'll do Twitter and what you have to understand you guys is there's thousands of different ways to generate traffic for your business ok there's thousands my recommendation to you is to pick one pick one in I would recommend picking something that has to do with search so use a search engine which you know would basically be YouTube or a blog using Google ok and the reason is because you can get buyer traffic people who are already thinking about making a purchasing decision we'll talk a little bit more about that maybe at the end of this video I'll Luke loop back around and talk about how to drive targeted traffic but let's dive deeper into this funnel and I want you guys just to understand to pick one thing I recommend YouTube or creating a blog and if I can remember I will leave a link in the description to an entire blog post step-by-step a guide really for you guys to start with your own blog okay now the next step in my funnel okay is to send people to an opt-in page and this is going to do a couple of things and follow me on the screen here the first thing it's going to do is it's going to send people to an email database okay right now I use a software called get response but there's a ton of different things there basically what you're doing is you're building up an email database where you can then follow up with people automatically which I'm going to talk to you guys about in a second and then also you can send broadcasts all right now a lot of people say that building an email list is dead however and I don't have it in the slide here what you have to understand is that if you're trying to build a business to six figures or million dollars you must be building an email list whether you think that building an email list is relevant or not today it absolutely is and obviously I'm not going to go into detail about advertising in this video but when you get your business to the place where you can start investing in ads if you have an email database of people who opted in which I'm going to share with you in a second and or later when people actually buy products from you if you end up creating your own products you now have a buyer's database and this is very very important when it comes to scaling up advertisements because you can create audiences based on your current customers okay like I said I'm not going to go into too much detail but please understand that you must be building an email list okay so the first thing is it's going to add people to your database and then the second thing is you can then send people wherever you want now you can send them to a thank-you page and in my personal opinion if you're just sending someone to a thank-you page you you're basically losing money okay you want to monetize that so basically what I do is I have down here a sales page okay in this sales page is an affiliate offer but instead of sending people from my opt-in page straight to the sales page I do something called a bridge page and if you are anything familiar with affiliate marketing you know the power of this bridge page and let me explain to you briefly why I believe this has so it has increased my sales by so much okay first off you have to understand where are these people coming from all right more than likely they're coming from content that you created now I want you to understand something if you send them to an opt-in page you generate the lead and then they go to right here if they go to a sales page for an affiliate product and you don't bridge the gap it might confuse people okay so you have to understand that you are inserting yourself in the sales process so what you need to do is create something called a bridge page now what I personally do is I create a little video here it doesn't have to be a video but I recommend it but you can also do a sales letter alright and basically what you want to do on this bridge page is talk about the benefits of the product that you are trying to promote as a fill as an affiliate okay now what this does is because people came you know up here excuse me from your content they came from your content to your opt-in page and now they're seeing you okay and then now what you need to do and a lot of affiliates get this wrong they think that they need to have a ton of results with this product and that's simply not true and you don't have to sacrifice you know your honesty with this you can simply and I'm telling you guys this for beginners okay if you don't have any results then you don't need to pretend like you have results you don't need to go rent a Lamborghini and be dishonest right and give up your moral code okay all you need to do is simply talk about the benefits of the product and tell them why you believe it's going to help them that's all you need to do okay and so once you do that you build trust you build rapport and then people you're basically probe pre-programming people's mind to make purchasing decision okay now when they get to this sales page whatever affiliate product that you're promoting there'll be a sales page there or sales video and then you let the sales process take its place and people have the opportunity to purchase now in a perfect world in a perfect world and I say that because nothing is perfect people will come from your content they'll opt-in they'll get added to your email database they'll go through your sales funnel process and by the way this is all a sales funnel okay that's obviously the title of this video and they'll make a purchase on the first time and you know having done this for a few years now you guys I'm telling you it does not happen all right it does not happen the first time you will get maybe a one or two percent conversion rate on the first time someone's exposed to your brand or a video that you created going through your sales funnel opting in your bridge page you're sitting the sales page of an affiliate product that you promote and then buying okay I will say it does happen it absolutely does happen but the chances of that happening on the first time someone is exposed to your content and exposed to a product is very slim to none so please understand that okay because I've seen it so many times where people will start getting opt-ins to their you know their database they'll start building it but they're not seeing sales yet and they think that something is broken now while they may be beginners of this whole process and they need to refine their system of this and maybe their copywriting maybe their video and get better at it it doesn't mean it's broken people are people so just understand that they may not want to buy right away even if they are targeted prospects okay so now let's jump to the other side and see what happens here so now you're building a database right one of the most powerful things that you can do an email database what I do in in my sales funnel in my automatic follow-up and this is what's so cool you guys this is how this is how and why the Internet has revolutionized business okay because you can automate systems right you can automate things where back in the day you would have to write these emails over and over and over again to individual people that's just not how you scale a business okay I send out hundreds of emails every single day on autopilot I don't do it right so I want you to think about hundreds in thousands of people coming through your sales funnel all right and it's just it's just not feasible to be able to manually do this this is why you must understand this concept of building a sales funnel so that way you can scale your business up okay so the first thing that I do is I also want to provide value inside of my emails okay so you can see email here an email here and again and again now obviously I have more automated emails that go out but I just kind of want to give you guys the rundown of what's actually happening okay I am sending out sending out emails that give value to people that build trust with people I'm showing proof of concept of whatever the product is over here that I'm trying to sell or promote as an affiliate okay and then what I do is anticipation okay so I will send out I've put together an email and by the way this is really cool when we're talking about automation you write these emails one time and they just keep going out you're duplicating yourself which is it's so amazing and I'm so I just love internet marketing in the fact that anybody can automate systems just like this okay so what I do is I build anticipation and I tell them that I'm about to basically cut a deal with them if they decide to purchase the product that I'm trying to promote because maybe by this point they still haven't made the purchase yet so what I do is I build anticipation and then what I do here is I offer bonuses okay I tell them okay basically I want you guys to understand this process here if someone hasn't purchased by this point maybe they're on the fence maybe there's different reasons why so what I do is I incentivize them by offering bonuses ok bonuses and then I put scarcity on it as well which is a marketing tactic that absolutely works and you know it's it's ethical to do this and it just helps people make that buying decision alright so I tell them listen I'm gonna give you guys a bunch of different bonuses if you purchase this but I'm not offering this forever right and so I put a time limit on it and they must either make the decision to buy or not buy okay now while most people think that this is where the end of the sales process is now I'm going to share with you guys basically my secret of how I've been able to scale my business to a million dollars with in yes I run paid advertisements at the time of filming this I'm not running ads but what I want you guys to understand is that you guys can implement this process without investing into paid advertising now obviously you're gonna need tools and resources to get your business going however it's very minimal when you talk about starting your own business okay so let's move along the sales process here and so we remember we have an automated follow-up system but that it doesn't stop there right this automated series is going to run out at some point but because we're building up our email database this is what's so powerful so let's come over here and we've added them to our email database and there's many things that you can do and I want to share with you guys basically my cycle of building my business which is so powerful now you can send emails okay what we call these are broadcast emails which basically means you can click write an email click a button and send it to you know thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of people depending on how big your database is which is absolutely crazy when you think about it and I want you to think about this concept so the first thing that you can do is you can actually promote other other products maybe you create your own product down the road maybe there's other affiliate products that you want to promote and make money knowing that those products are going to help people so you can see right here and by the way this is unlimited you can find unlimited amount of products that you can promote as an affiliate so for example here you can see on your screen product a B and C and so basically you have an affiliate link you're promoting these products as an affiliate and if someone purchases out of your list then you a purchase made you make Commission's you make commissions and this is infinitely scale as far as different products that you can promote to your email list okay so I really hope that the wheels are spinning if you're liking this so far go down and smash that like button I truly appreciate that and of course so does the YouTube algorithm to help this video out now let's talk about what I've personally done with an email list I think a lot of people forget to do this but this is very important okay and that is when you're especially when you're starting out right and when you grow a massive email list then it becomes so much more powerful but I want you to think about this let's go back to the very beginning and when we talk about creating content right getting traction on creating content is probably the longest it's the most time-consuming thing that you're gonna you're gonna have to take action on without getting a return on your investment and this is exactly why most people don't make it with growing an online business is because they lack creating enough content and getting better at it and they lack patience to actually see results alright and I'm speaking from experience when I was doing it in the beginning and then now having worked with hundreds probably thousands of entrepreneurs at this point so many people quit before they actually have a breakthrough now I want you to think about this you have an eat you've built an email list now so as you're building your email list right and you go out to your platforms and you're continuing to create content once you start to get traction and build that email list and understanding how hard it is to get gain traction whether it be a YouTube channel or a blog in the very beginning where nobody's reading your blog nobody's seen your videos now that you're building your email list you can also once you create a new piece of content send an email to your entire email is promoting your content whether it whatever platform you're on and that will help you get a boost okay your first of all if you create valuable content you're helping people on your email list and then guess what because you're doing that new people are gonna come to your blog new people are gonna come to your YouTube video and then the process starts all over again and you continue to build your email list and you continue to build your funnels in it just snowballs it just continues to snowball which is absolutely incredible okay so now I want you guys to think about this and this is the thing that just gets absolutely crazy you remember how I talked about different products down here and you guys let me know if you guys are liking this in the comments down below and I think this part is really going to blow your mind I want you guys to think about having a different product now if you guys haven't gained traction with one product and that's what I recommend pick a product which would be right here and really run with it until you gain traction you start making sales and what I say is when you start making $10,000 a month then it's time to start branching out if you're not making 10 grand a month hone in focus on one platform focus in on one product that you really believe in and really promote it okay but once you do that this is where it gets crazy okay so you remember I talked about other products that you can promote right now I want you to think about creating more content sending an email to different pieces of content that go through this process but instead of this one product now you're you're doing it with multiple products so now you have multiple income streams building up so think of this entire sales funnel right here how this is only promoting one product but imagine if you had three four or five different products and entire funnels that promote different products and how powerful that is all you would have to do is then strategize your marketing your content creation - then - then funnel people in to different products okay and it does even if they're not buying the single product remember you're you're building this email database and you're adding them to your email list and then you can continue to provide different products to them because maybe they don't want that product maybe they never will buy that product right so now with this entire this entire thing and let me just fit this the screen so you guys can see the whole thing with this entire funnel process you are building basically a cycle of marketing your entire funnel and you're building your business so I hope this gives you a really good idea of what's possible with affiliate marketing and of course like I said in the beginning you can use this for your own products too but this is the exact funnel that I've built out that has allowed me to do over a million dollars with affiliate marketing so if you guys like this definitely go down hit that thumbs up I truly
