— Is affiliate marketing dying?

Well, in 2021, this
channel made over $279,000,

just from the Amazon Affiliate Program.

Now, YouTubers and content creators

have been using affiliate marketing

to make money for a long time now.

But over the years,
Amazon has been giving us

less and less percentages

to recommend products on Amazon.

Luckily, there’s three things

that you can start doing today

to start making more money

with affiliate marketing.

— [Man] You gotta just press record.

— Hey guys, my name is Nolan Molt

with Think Media.

Now, I do wanna share a couple more

numbers with you guys
so you can get an idea

on how much you can actually make

with affiliate marketing.

Now, just so you know,

we’re a part of over a hundred

different affiliate programs,

and I’m not gonna share
all of those with you.

I am gonna share top three programs

with you guys though.

Now, most likely, our top three

are gonna be different
than your top three,

depending on the niche that you’re in.

Now, at number one,

I already mentioned Amazon

that came in at $279,096.

The reason why this is the biggest for us

is because we review cameras

and lights and audio equipment,

and that stuff can get pretty expensive.

And a lot of people right now

like to use Amazon to buy their cameras,

to buy their lenses.

Now, there are different
affiliate programs

that we are a part of

that sell cameras and camera gear,

but we’ve noticed that most people

like to use Amazon to actually

get their camera gear.

Coming in at number two, we have vidIQ,

which made us $43,601.

Now, this is actually a software

that you can install,

and we use it all the time at Think Media

and we talk about it a lot in our videos

because we just use it all the time.

Now, we actually work with them a lot

and they gave us a code for you to get

your first month off for free.

So if you use that link,

that’s actually how we
get compensation back.

When you sign up for vidIQ,

we get a little bit of a kickback

at no extra cost for you,

you actually just get a month for free.

Coming in at third is Epidemic Sound

with $24,926.

And that is the company that we use

for all of our music and sound effects.

And you can actually get
a month for free as well

by using the link in the description.

And again, we recommend this a lot

because we just use it all the time,

we really love their products,

so as people sign up,

we get a kickback for that as well.

Now, just for this top three companies,

that’s $347,623.

Now, that is a lot of money,

just for one stream of income

off of one YouTube channel.

Now, remember though, at Think Media,

we have an entire team of people

working on this YouTube channel.

And I know for you,

it might just be you right now.

Now, personally, on my own channel,

I’ve been able to use some of these tips

that I’m gonna share with you guys,

and there’s been some months

where I’ve made over $2,000

and I didn’t even post any videos.

I mean, that’s just over
$2,000 passive income

coming through my YouTube channel

using affiliate marketing.

And I don’t have a big channel,

I have less than 8,000 subscribers.

So I just wanna encourage you

that even if you just made

a couple thousand dollars more a month,

that could be a lot for
some you guys out there

who are trying to fund
your YouTube channel,

maybe make this a full-time thing,

turn it from your hobby into your job.

Now, of course, to put affiliate links

in your video description,

you need a YouTube video.

And one of the easiest ways

to start getting content on YouTube

is by going live.

We use StreamYard at Think Media

to go live and we love it.

Whether we’re going live on Think Media

or going live on the Think Media podcast,

maybe even on a Facebook group,

a cool thing about StreamYard

is you can actually go
live on multiple accounts.

So using StreamYard,

you can actually go live on YouTube

and Facebook at the same time.

And it really is such a simple way

to make your live streams look really good

and really professional.

They make it super easy to add in

different camera angles,
you can bring on guests,

you can add different screen elements

and transitions, all
built into the software

so that all you have to
do is press a button.

And that way, you don’t need to worry

about the live stream,

you can really focus
solely on the content.

Not only does StreamYard

make your live streams look super cool,

but I just love how easy it is to use.

You get in there, and
literally after five minutes,

you can figure out StreamYard,

exactly how to bring on guests.

And really, everything is so easy

to pick up and learn.

It gives you so much more confidence

once you’re ready to hit that live button.

And if you wanna try out StreamYard,

you can get $10 off your very first month

or go to StreamWithThink.com.

So here are my top three tips.

And number one is to
make a strategic video.

If you’re really trying to make money

with affiliate marketing,

you can’t just throw
links in your description

and expect people to go in there

and start buying stuff

off of the links in your description.

It will happen, but what
is much more efficient

is making a specific video
on a specific product.

At Think Media, some of
our best performing videos

were reviewing a specific product.

That could be a light,

that could be a camera, a microphone.

And this has the possibility of one video

to literally they bring you

thousands of dollars per month.

Or what has been really effective

for us at Think Media as well

is doing a versus video.

That’s where you compare one product

versus another product.

Now, kind of a power tip here,

is you wanna have a call to action.

So if you’re gonna be
comparing two products,

let them know in the
video which one is better,

which one should they buy?

And once you tell them that,

let them know that there’s
links in the description,

because a lot of people on YouTube,

when they’re looking up review videos,

they’re actually looking
to buy the product.

And not everyone knows
that there’s typically

links in the description.

So you wanna let them know

either with text on the screen

or just straight to the camera.

Tip number two is to sign up

for more affiliate programs.

A lot of people know about

the Amazon Associates Program,

but there are so many
other programs out there.

And so I want you to
think about your niche.

What are things that you use a lot?

What are things that you recommend a lot,

and see if there are programs from that.

So if you’re in the fitness niche

and maybe you’re using a Peloton,

you can see if they have
an affiliate program.

I don’t know if they actually do,

but you wanna look at
the products you’re using

and then go online and see

what kind of programs they offer.

I did this for my personal channel,

it was a product that I
just used all the time

and I absolutely love
and I recommend anyways,

and once I got on the affiliate program

and people started
using my affiliate link,

I made over a thousand dollars

just in that first month.

And the third tip is actually

to use genius links.

Now, just doing this,

helped us make 19% more income,

just from using genius links.

Now, there’s a lot of stuff
that genius links can do,

but one of the cool things that actually

help you make more money

is it’ll a person to
the right Amazon store.

So the cool thing is,
you only have one link,

and no matter who clicks on it,

it’s gonna take them to the right website

so that we can earn affiliate money.

Another amazing feature
is that on their website,

it will show you what links you have

that are out of stock.

So all you have to do is replace

the link in the back end,

and then all of the genius links

in your descriptions are going to update,

you don’t have to go in

and edit all of your YouTube videos.

So it’s gonna help you make money

but it’s also gonna help you save time.

Now, if you wanna see
all 21 streams of income

that we make here at Think Media,

then click on the screen

and I’ll see you guys in the next video.
