1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120
Hey everyone, welcome back for another deep dive.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,240
Today, we're gonna be doing something a little different.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,160
We're not just talking about the usual tips and tricks.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,680
We are going deep on this one.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,280
We're diving into a review of this online course

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,620
called Affiliate One, and it's making some pretty big waves.

7
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:19,620
A lot of these courses, they promise the moon,

8
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:21,840
but this review claims it actually delivered

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,080
a whole new way to think about affiliate marketing.

10
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,640
So I think whether you're just starting out

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,120
or you've been doing this for a while,

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,000
you're gonna find something valuable here.

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,280
Yeah, for sure.

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,040
What really caught my eye was that it's not just some theory.

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,880
Like the reviewer actually used what they learned

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,840
and they're breaking down how they got real results,

17
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,280
like actual numbers.

18
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,040
Okay, so let's get into it.

19
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,560
One thing that really stood out to me

20
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,200
was this whole idea of chasing traffic.

21
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,920
You know, that idea that more clicks equals more money,

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,360
but the reviewer kind of hit a wall with that approach.

23
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,380
Right, and that's where Affiliate One comes in.

24
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:57,120
They introduced this concept of microneaching down.

25
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,120
And I gotta say, I found that pretty fascinating.

26
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Okay, so what is that?

27
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Microneaching down.

28
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,320
So instead of like targeting people who like fitness,

29
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:07,280
you get way more specific.

30
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,060
You're talking about yoga moms and suburban areas

31
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:12,440
who are interested in organic protein powders.

32
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960
Oh, okay, so instead of casting a giant net,

33
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,560
you're getting laser focused.

34
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Precisely, and the reviewer gives this perfect example

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,400
with a meditation app campaign they were running.

36
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Okay.

37
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,760
At first they were targeting anyone interested

38
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,040
in stress relief, which as you can imagine,

39
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800
is a pretty massive audience.

40
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,120
Yeah, pretty much everyone these days.

41
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Right, but Affiliate One taught them to like really hone in

42
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,720
to microneach down.

43
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,280
They focused on busy professionals working from home

44
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,680
who struggle with anxiety.

45
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,920
Okay, so way more specific.

46
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Exactly, and by tailoring the messaging

47
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,960
and the ad creative to that specific group,

48
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,640
their conversion rate jumped by over 40%.

49
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,460
Wow, that's huge.

50
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:53,000
So it's not just about getting any traffic,

51
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,800
it's about getting the right traffic.

52
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,880
100%.

53
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,560
A smaller, highly engaged audience is often way more valuable

54
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,280
than a large and different one.

55
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Okay, this is making me rethink my whole strategy.

56
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Now the reviewer also talks about this idea

57
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,280
of building trust through content,

58
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,440
but they take it a step further than the usual

59
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,880
content is king stuff.

60
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,120
Right, they're talking about creating what they call

61
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280
solution focused content.

62
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Okay, what's that mean?

63
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
So it's not just about reviewing products,

64
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,240
you're actually providing like in-depth guides,

65
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,120
tutorials, resources, things that actually solve problems

66
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,280
for your audience.

67
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,160
Ah, so instead of just saying,

68
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,160
hey, this slate mask is awesome,

69
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,760
you'd create a whole guide on how to improve sleep hygiene.

70
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Exactly, the reviewer gives this great example

71
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,480
of a series of blog posts and videos they made,

72
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,200
teaching people how to optimize their morning routines

73
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,720
for productivity.

74
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,560
Okay.

75
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,280
And they weren't even directly promoting anything

76
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,120
at that point.

77
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Right, but I bet it built a ton of credibility

78
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,560
with their audience.

79
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200
Oh, absolutely, and later when they did recommend

80
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,920
products related to productivity and morning routines,

81
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,680
people were way more receptive

82
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,040
because they already saw the reviewer

83
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,720
as a valuable resource.

84
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,280
Okay, I'm seeing a theme here.

85
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600
It's not about the hard sell,

86
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760
it's about building a relationship with your audience.

87
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,760
Exactly, becoming a trusted advisor.

88
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Okay, I love that.

89
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480
And this kind of ties into the next big takeaway

90
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400
from the Affiliate One review,

91
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,640
which is the power of storytelling in email marketing.

92
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,960
Right, everyone talks about the importance

93
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
of building an email list,

94
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,960
but the reviewer's approach is different.

95
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:23,920
Okay, I'm listening.

96
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,400
They talk about weaving personal anecdotes

97
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,560
and experiences into their emails,

98
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,160
almost like mini blog posts.

99
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Interesting.

100
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,920
They actually call it infotainment.

101
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,120
Okay, infotainment, I like that.

102
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Keep people entertained

103
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080
while subtly positioning product recommendations.

104
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,760
So instead of a subject line that's like,

105
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,920
be why this now, it's more like,

106
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800
you won't believe what happened to me this morning.

107
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Exactly, and then within the email,

108
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,760
they share a story that naturally leads

109
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,200
to a product recommendation.

110
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,600
They gave this great example

111
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,640
of promoting a language learning app.

112
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Okay, so how'd they do that?

113
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Instead of just listing features and benefits,

114
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,800
they shared a story about their own struggles,

115
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,360
learning a new language,

116
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560
the embarrassing mistakes they made,

117
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,920
and how this app helped them finally break through.

118
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360
So it's about the journey, not just the destination.

119
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Precisely, and the reviewer saw a huge increase

120
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,640
in their open and click-through rates

121
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,000
when they started doing this.

122
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,040
That makes a lot of sense.

123
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,440
People connect with stories, not just sales pitches.

124
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,240
Now, this all sounds amazing,

125
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
but the reviewer also mentions that affiliate one

126
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,880
doesn't shy away from the tough stuff,

127
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800
like how to handle unsubscribes and manage expectations.

128
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Right, they were initially devastated

129
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,520
when people started unsubscribing.

130
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Oh yeah, I can relate to that.

131
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,040
But affiliate one helped them reframe it.

132
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Explain that not everyone who signs up

133
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,440
is your ideal customer.

134
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,160
So it's better to have a smaller list

135
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,680
of highly engaged subscribers

136
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,600
who are actually interested in what you're offering.

137
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Exactly, and the course actually encourages you

138
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,320
to think of unsubscribes as an opportunity

139
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,360
to refine your targeting,

140
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000
to make sure you're attracting the right people.

141
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,480
That's a great reminder that building

142
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,360
a successful online business,

143
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
especially with affiliate marketing,

144
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,480
it's a marathon, not a sprint.

145
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,320
Couldn't agree more.

146
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,720
It's all about patience, persistence,

147
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,520
and constantly refining your approach.

148
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Okay, I love that.

149
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,280
So speaking of refining your approach,

150
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:13,720
let's move on to the next big takeaway

151
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
from this affiliate one review.

152
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,200
One of the things that really surprised me

153
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,320
about this affiliate one review

154
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,160
was how they approach organic traffic.

155
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360
It's not just about SEO and keyword stuffing.

156
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,480
They actually teach you how to create these things

157
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,000
called content pillars.

158
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Yeah, the content pillars.

159
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,160
That was a game changer for me too.

160
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Okay, so what are they?

161
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,560
So basically they help you shift

162
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,600
from thinking about individual blog posts or videos

163
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,560
to creating these comprehensive content hubs

164
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,000
that cover everything about a specific topic.

165
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,360
Yeah, I think I'm following you.

166
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,680
So instead of writing one article

167
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,400
about the best running shoes,

168
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,360
you create a whole series of articles, videos,

169
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,320
maybe even e-book or a course, all about running.

170
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Exactly, you could have one article

171
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,800
about choosing the right shoes,

172
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,880
another about preventing injuries,

173
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,160
another about training for a marathon,

174
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240
and all these pieces link back to each other.

175
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
So you're creating this web of valuable content

176
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400
that keeps people engaged in coming back for more.

177
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,280
That's so smart.

178
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,680
So you're not just attracting random visitors,

179
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,960
you're building a loyal audience of people

180
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,480
who are really interested in that topic.

181
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,160
Exactly, and the best part is Affiliate One

182
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,480
actually gives you frameworks and templates

183
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,800
for creating these content pillars.

184
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,240
Okay, so it's not just theory,

185
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,040
they give you the tools to actually do it.

186
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,680
Right, they even give you a checklist

187
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,320
to make sure you're covering all the bases.

188
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,040
Now that's what I call actionable advice.

189
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,880
Yeah.

190
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,080
But creating all this content sounds like a ton of work.

191
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Did they talk about how to manage that?

192
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Yeah, they actually address that directly.

193
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,560
They emphasize the importance of repurposing content.

194
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,280
That's smart, work smarter, not harder.

195
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,000
Right, so instead of creating everything from scratch,

196
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,960
you learn how to take one piece of content

197
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,320
and turn it into multiple formats.

198
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Okay, give me an example.

199
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,520
So let's say you have that blog post about running shoes.

200
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800
You could turn that into a YouTube video,

201
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,200
an Instagram post, a series of tweets,

202
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,680
maybe even an infographic.

203
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,920
Oh wow, so you're squeezing every drop of value

204
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,840
out of your content.

205
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,800
Exactly, and Affiliate One gives you specific strategies

206
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840
and tools for doing this effectively.

207
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,360
They even give you scripts for turning blog posts

208
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,880
in the videos and vice versa.

209
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Okay, this is blowing my mind.

210
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,480
It's like a content creation machine.

211
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
But you know, with all this talk about traffic

212
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,800
and content and strategy,

213
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760
it's easy to get caught up in the technical side of things.

214
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,240
And forget about the human element.

215
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,120
You're so right.

216
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040
And that's something else the reviewer highlighted

217
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,880
about Affiliate One.

218
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,120
It's not just about strategy.

219
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,240
It's about cultivating the right mindset.

220
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,760
Okay, tell me more about this mindset stuff.

221
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Sometimes it feels a little vague.

222
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Well, the reviewers specifically talked about

223
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,600
how Affiliate One helped them overcome

224
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,560
their fear of failure.

225
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
You know that feeling of what if this doesn't work?

226
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Or what if people hate my content?

227
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Oh yeah, I think we all struggle with that.

228
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,000
For sure.

229
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120
And the course encourages you to see failure

230
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120
not as a setback, but as a learning opportunity.

231
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:56,960
I love that.

232
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,160
They actually have a whole module

233
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,120
on analyzing your failures,

234
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,880
figuring out what went wrong,

235
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
and using that to improve your next attempt.

236
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,000
So it's like they're saying,

237
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,720
hey, it's okay to mess up as long as you learn from it.

238
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Exactly.

239
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,960
And the reviewer shared this story

240
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,760
about how they launched a product campaign

241
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,160
that totally flopped.

242
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Oh no.

243
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,440
But instead of getting discouraged,

244
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,360
they used what they learned in Affiliate One,

245
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120
analyze their mistakes, tweak their strategy,

246
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,960
and relaunch the campaign.

247
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520
And this time it was a huge success.

248
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,720
That's so inspiring.

249
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,040
It's a good reminder that building a successful business

250
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,800
isn't about being perfect.

251
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800
It's about being persistent and always trying to improve.

252
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,520
Couldn't have said it better myself.

253
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,960
And this kind of ties into another key mindset shift

254
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,320
the reviewer talked about.

255
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520
The importance of patience.

256
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme.

257
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,400
It takes time to build an audience,

258
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,480
establish trust, and see results.

259
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,080
This is so important for people here,

260
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,880
especially if they're just starting out.

261
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,720
Definitely.

262
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,680
It's easy to get discouraged

263
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,280
when you don't see instant results.

264
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,120
For sure.

265
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800
And Affiliate One addresses this head on.

266
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,840
They teach you how to set realistic expectations,

267
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,120
track your progress,

268
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,040
and celebrate small wins along the way.

269
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Love that.

270
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,560
So it's about setting yourself up for success,

271
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,080
not just in terms of strategy,

272
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,200
but also in terms of mindset.

273
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Now let's get practical for a minute.

274
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,840
Did the reviewer talk about any specific tools or resources

275
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,400
they use in their business?

276
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Absolutely.

277
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,640
They have a whole module on essential tools and resources.

278
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600
It covers everything from email marketing platforms

279
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,240
and keyword research tools,

280
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,160
to graphic design software and social media scheduling apps.

281
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,560
So it's like a one stop shop for everything you need

282
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:35,880
to get started and grow your business.

283
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,720
Exactly.

284
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,920
They even give you discount codes and exclusive deals

285
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,920
for some of the tools.

286
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,760
That's awesome.

287
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Saving money is always a good thing.

288
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,640
And I know we've talked a lot about the technical

289
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,040
and strategic stuff,

290
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,680
but what about the community aspect?

291
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,920
Did the reviewer mention anything about that?

292
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Oh yeah.

293
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
And this is one of the things that really stood out to me.

294
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
The reviewer raved about the Affiliate One community,

295
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,040
said it's one of the most supportive

296
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,760
and helpful online communities

297
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,320
they've ever been a part of.

298
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,280
So it's not just about the course material.

299
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480
It's about the network and support you get

300
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,320
from other members.

301
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,160
Exactly.

302
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320
It's a private forum where people can ask questions,

303
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,680
share wins, get feedback on their campaigns,

304
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,800
even collaborate on projects together.

305
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,880
That's incredible.

306
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,200
It's like having a built in support system

307
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240
to help you navigate all the ups and downs

308
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,160
of building a business.

309
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,000
Right.

310
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,200
And the reviewer said they've actually made

311
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,840
some really good friends through the community.

312
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,600
They do virtual co-working sessions

313
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,480
and mastermind groups together.

314
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Wow, that's amazing.

315
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,800
It really makes you feel like you're part of something

316
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,840
bigger than yourself.

317
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,680
For sure.

318
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,760
It really speaks volumes about the value

319
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,280
that Affiliate One provides

320
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,320
beyond just the course content.

321
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,440
Okay, so we've covered a lot of ground here.

322
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
But I'm curious, did the reviewer talk about

323
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
how to actually choose which products to promote?

324
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,440
That feels like a pretty big decision.

325
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Yeah, that's huge.

326
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400
And the reviewer actually emphasized how Affiliate One

327
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,600
helped them move beyond just chasing the highest commissions.

328
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Okay, so it's not just about grabbing

329
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,360
whatever pays the most.

330
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Nope.

331
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240
They encourage you to take a more holistic approach.

332
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,120
They have this framework called the triple alignment test.

333
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,600
The triple alignment test.

334
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,440
Yeah.

335
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,280
What's that?

336
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,360
So it helps you evaluate products based on three things.

337
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Passion, audience, and profitability.

338
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Okay, so first off, you gotta actually care

339
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,360
about the product.

340
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Right, would you recommend it to a friend

341
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,440
even if you weren't getting paid?

342
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Makes sense.

343
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,800
Then there's the audience alignment.

344
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,240
Does this product solve a problem for your target audience?

345
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Does it meet their needs?

346
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,560
Yeah, if you're promoting stuff

347
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,920
that's not relevant to your audience,

348
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,960
you're not gonna get very far.

349
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,800
Exactly.

350
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,240
And then finally, there's the profitability factor.

351
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,960
Does the product offer a decent commission structure?

352
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080
Is it priced appropriately for your audience?

353
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,560
So it's like finding that sweet spot

354
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,280
where your interests, your audience's needs,

355
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,240
and the potential for profit all line up.

356
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Exactly.

357
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,800
And the reviewer gave this example

358
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,400
where they were promoting this product

359
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560
that had a high commission rate.

360
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,400
But it wasn't a good fit for their audience.

361
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Oof.

362
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,840
I bet that didn't go too well.

363
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Not really.

364
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:00,640
They made a few sales,

365
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,120
but they felt kind of sleazy about it,

366
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,080
and their audience wasn't engaged.

367
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,360
Yeah, that's not a good feeling.

368
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,280
So they went back to the drawing board,

369
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,840
used the triple alignment test,

370
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,320
found a product they were actually passionate about,

371
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,640
and it was a much better fit for their audience.

372
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,240
They ended up having way more success in the long run.

373
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,560
This is making me realize

374
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,080
that affiliate marketing is a lot more nuanced

375
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,280
than people think.

376
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800
It's not just about slapping a link on your website

377
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,080
and calling it a day.

378
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Definitely not.

379
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,360
And that actually leads to one of the final points

380
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,720
the reviewer emphasized.

381
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240
You got to treat affiliate marketing like a real business.

382
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Oh, so what does that actually look like?

383
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Well, they talked about the importance

384
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,240
of setting clear goals,

385
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,120
tracking your income and expenses,

386
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,720
even reinvesting some of your profits back into the business.

387
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,200
So it's not just about making money,

388
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360
it's about building something sustainable.

389
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Exactly.

390
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,640
The reviewer actually used some of their early earnings

391
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,200
to invest in a course on email marketing,

392
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560
and it helped them grow their business even more.

393
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:56,400
That's awesome.

394
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,040
It shows that treating it like a business can really pay off.

395
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,840
So as we wrap up this deep dive,

396
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,320
I got to say I'm super impressed

397
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,960
with this Affiliate One review.

398
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,520
It's not just surface level stuff,

399
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,480
they really go deep on mindset, strategy,

400
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520
and the practical details of building a successful business.

401
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,360
I agree.

402
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,840
It's clearly not your average marketing course.

403
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,440
I think what resonates with me the most

404
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,800
is this focus on authenticity

405
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,520
and building real relationships with your audience.

406
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,840
It's not about tricking people into buying stuff.

407
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,680
It's about providing value

408
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,640
and becoming a trusted resource.

409
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,600
Yeah, that's a message that goes way beyond

410
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,640
just affiliate marketing.

411
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,400
It's important for anyone building an online business,

412
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,360
or even just navigating the online world in general.

413
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,960
So as you think about your own approach

414
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,520
to your online business,

415
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,320
or even just your online presence,

416
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,800
ask yourself, am I providing real value?

417
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,200
Am I being authentic?

418
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,720
Am I building relationships based on trust?

419
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Those are some great questions to reflect on.

420
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,840
And if you're looking for a framework

421
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,960
to help you answer those questions,

422
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,640

00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,000

424
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,680
All right, folks, that's it for this deep dyes.
