Business Advice Video

I made over $120,000 last month using this exact business model. First step is to pick a niche. Then you’re gonna head to Google and search up health and wellness affiliate programs. Next scroll on through until you find one that has a high commission rate like this one right here. And then you’re gonna click here to sign up to get your unique affiliate link. Then head to social media and start posting content about your topic. This account doesn’t even show their face and look how many followers they have. Just be sure to put your affiliate links right in your bio.

Matt’s Review: 

Well, I’m not sure if the point of that was you can make money without showing your face or the point of that was just a simple way to make affiliate income. You can do things without showing your face. There’s lots of examples of YouTube channels that have lots of followers even into the millions without anybody showing their face. It’s just a voice-over on content so that can be done. What’s harder is to develop an audience, anyone who cares to listen to what you’re saying. That requires hard work. thinking about useful content that’s unique and presented in an interesting way. And generates interest. And people who wanna then follow through. And click the links that you provided and make money for you. So signing up for an affiliate program picking a niche is the easy part. Coming up with content that anybody’s gonna watch past the first few seconds and developing an audience and getting clicks and having people trust you and value your recommendations, that’s the very very hard part. So don’t confuse what’s easy with what makes money. Generally, if it makes money it takes effort, it takes time, it takes a unique angle. It takes effort. It’s not something you just sign up and start throwing up junk videos and suddenly make a ton of money. We’ve seen all kinds of opportunities all along the same lines. And always the shortcoming is imagining that you’re going to make a ton of money just by throwing up garbage. That just doesn’t work. And she’s made as much as she’s claiming in reality then she’s spending a good amount of time and a lot of effort to make quality content, build an audience, and incentivize them to watch her videos and follow through on clicking the links. Or she’s made a lot of money selling courses on how to do what she’s telling people to do. And didn’t actually make money doing what she’s telling people to do. which we see a lot of that too.
