00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.259
You've probably seen these videos, shaky camera,

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.059
scrolling through the aisles at Costco, pointing

00:00:05.059 --> 00:00:08.539
at some giant 4K TV or a pallet of granola bars.

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:10.800
And the person is claiming, you know, that you

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.660
can make thousands of dollars just by posting

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:15.160
a simple affiliate link. Exactly. It's presented

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.320
like this perfect stay at home dream job. For

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.920
sure. You just wander around a warehouse, post

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.079
a picture and money just magically appears in

00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.370
your bank account. But is that? Is that really

00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:29.070
the reality? That's the question. Is it a secret

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:32.429
path to passive income or is it a very calculated,

00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.549
very strategic business move that requires real

00:00:35.549 --> 00:00:38.729
work? Alright. Okay, so let's unpack this. We're

00:00:38.729 --> 00:00:40.770
gonna do a deep dive into the actual mechanics

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:44.130
required to hit a substantial income goal. Let's

00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:47.350
say a consistent $8 ,000 a month using the Costco

00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.820
affiliate program. And our mission today is really

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.179
to cut through all that social media noise. We

00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:54.579
need to explain why just sharing a link fails

00:00:54.579 --> 00:00:57.280
almost every time. And more importantly, how

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.340
a sophisticated approach, what we're calling

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.679
the flip strategy, can actually turn those tiny

00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.620
commissions into real scalable paychecks. It's

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.099
not magic at all. It's just smart business strategy.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.900
So here's the roadmap for this deep dive. First,

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:14.140
we have to face the harsh realities of the program,

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:17.579
the cookie rules, the low commission rates. Then

00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:19.180
we're going to dig into the conversion math.

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:22.180
This explains why a million views can mean almost

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:24.900
nothing compared to finding a few thousand people

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.140
with real buyer intent. And finally, we'll break

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.640
down that crucial flip strategy and show you

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.019
how to find these hidden high ticket services

00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:37.879
within Costco's own platform to unlock that maximum

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.670
earning potential. OK, so to begin, let's talk

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:43.209
about the platform itself. Costco isn't managing

00:01:43.209 --> 00:01:45.849
this program directly. No, they're not. They

00:01:45.849 --> 00:01:47.950
use a network called CJ Affiliate. It used to

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:51.049
be called Commission Junction as the middleman.

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:53.310
That's a really critical piece of context. It

00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:56.049
is. Think of CJ Affiliate as the platform. Costco

00:01:56.049 --> 00:01:59.129
is the advertiser, and then you, the user, you're

00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:01.430
the publisher. You have to apply through cg .com

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:03.370
just to get started. Now we get to the technical

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:05.810
rule that, well, it sinks most beginners before

00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:08.729
they even start. The cookie. We're all kind of

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:11.169
used to programs like Amazon's, which gives you

00:02:11.169 --> 00:02:14.110
a pretty generous 24 -hour cookie. Right. A customer

00:02:14.110 --> 00:02:16.370
clicks your link, buys anything within a day,

00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:20.009
you get credit. Simple. But the Costco program

00:02:20.009 --> 00:02:22.849
is fundamentally different. It is. And this is

00:02:22.849 --> 00:02:25.689
the brutal truth of it. It uses a session -based

00:02:25.689 --> 00:02:28.050
cookie. A session -based cookie. What does that

00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:30.509
mean in practice? It means the customer has to

00:02:30.509 --> 00:02:33.469
complete the purchase in that one single browsing

00:02:33.469 --> 00:02:36.650
session. So... If they click my link while they're,

00:02:36.650 --> 00:02:39.150
I don't know, waiting in line for coffee, they

00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:41.590
look at a Traeger grill, but then they close

00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:44.590
their phone, drive home, and an hour later decide

00:02:44.590 --> 00:02:47.310
to buy it directly on Costco .com. You get nothing.

00:02:47.569 --> 00:02:51.099
Zero. Zero dollars. It demands that the customer

00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:54.099
buys immediately, which requires extremely high

00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:56.280
buyer intent right from the very beginning. And

00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.659
the commissions themselves, they don't really

00:02:57.659 --> 00:02:59.360
offer much of a cushion either. They're tiny.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.479
So small. Memberships get you maybe $3 or $6.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.659
Kitchen appliances, same thing. What is $6? Even

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:08.699
a huge purchase, like a high -end laptop, might

00:03:08.699 --> 00:03:11.919
max out around, what, $24 for you? Yeah. And

00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.919
the average sale across the whole platform is

00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.289
less than $10 commission. So the conclusion is

00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:19.849
pretty clear. You cannot get rich just selling

00:03:19.849 --> 00:03:22.210
low margin stuff like toilet paper. Not at all.

00:03:22.310 --> 00:03:24.610
The combination of that session -based cookie

00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:27.189
and the low commissions means we have to think

00:03:27.189 --> 00:03:29.930
beyond just pure volume. The post and pray approach

00:03:29.930 --> 00:03:33.729
just won't work. So let's ground that $8 ,000

00:03:33.729 --> 00:03:36.810
a month goal and some real math. If we rely on

00:03:36.810 --> 00:03:38.949
the pure volume approach, what we can call the

00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:41.710
toilet paper strategy, where you might earn maybe

00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:44.930
a dollar per sale. You would need 8 ,000 individual

00:03:44.930 --> 00:03:49.370
sales. Every single month, that means generating

00:03:49.370 --> 00:03:52.210
millions of views. And with that cookie rule,

00:03:53.469 --> 00:03:55.689
it's just, it's virtually impossible for a beginner.

00:03:55.770 --> 00:03:58.090
And even if you focus only on the expensive stuff,

00:03:58.330 --> 00:04:01.030
say computers that get you that max $20 commission.

00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:03.789
You still need 400 separate sales a month. That

00:04:03.789 --> 00:04:06.289
is still incredibly challenging. Luck is not

00:04:06.289 --> 00:04:08.270
a business model. This is where the whole mindset

00:04:08.270 --> 00:04:10.919
shifts, you know, from quantity to quality. We

00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.259
see two completely different types of creators.

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.480
On one side, you have the viral TikToker. They

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.740
get a million views from people laughing. Right.

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.800
But those people aren't there to buy anything.

00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.459
So that creator might earn, what, 200 to 500

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:26.939
bucks total? Exactly. Now, contrast that with

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:29.300
a specialized website owner. they might only

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:32.139
get 10 ,000 views. But those 10 ,000 people are

00:04:32.139 --> 00:04:34.339
actively searching Google for best treadmill

00:04:34.339 --> 00:04:37.480
at Costco to buy for under $1 ,000. They're ready

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.279
to buy. They're basically holding their credit

00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.000
cards. And that website owner can easily make

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000
$5 ,000 or more because they reached people at

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.980
the precise moment of intent. So the key lesson

00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:51.329
is you don't need viral fame. You need buyer

00:04:51.329 --> 00:04:53.889
intent. You need to intercept people who are

00:04:53.889 --> 00:04:56.269
already looking to buy something. That quality

00:04:56.269 --> 00:04:59.250
focus is everything. A lot of online gurus say

00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:01.850
you don't need a website. They say, you know,

00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:03.930
just use social media. It's fast. It's easy.

00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:06.470
But relying only on TikTok or Instagram is like

00:05:06.470 --> 00:05:08.790
building your whole business on rented land.

00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:11.290
Right. If the platform changes its algorithm,

00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:15.990
or even worse, bans your account, your entire

00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:18.879
business just vanishes overnight. To build a

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.339
durable, lasting business that can actually make

00:05:21.339 --> 00:05:24.240
this work, you have to own your own hub. And

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.839
that means creating a niche site. But even there,

00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.899
people make a big mistake. They go too broad.

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:32.300
Yeah, that instinct to start a site about everything

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:34.639
at Costco, it's just too big. You can't compete.

00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:37.459
You have to be specific. If you write 50 high

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.420
-quality articles just about outdoor kitchen

00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:42.300
appliances, Google starts to see you as the expert

00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:44.720
in that one area. And the good news is you don't

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.060
have to guess what's profitable. You can use

00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:50.339
AI tools, like ChatGPT, not to write the content

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:52.680
for you, but to find these nooshes that focus

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.399
on high -ticket products. Or passionate, enthusiast

00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.420
copies. Exactly, things that show people are

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:00.180
willing to spend money. Like the example of Backyard

00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:03.180
Outdoor Kitchens. It targets serious cooks, it

00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.600
hits seasonal spikes, and it points you to high

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.439
-value stuff like Trigger Grills or Uni Pizza

00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.139
Ovens. And the website then becomes that crucial

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:14.620
bridge. A user searches best blender, finds your

00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:17.519
expert article, clicks your link, and buys immediately.

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.439
Because you provided real value. You helped them

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.660
make that final decision, which makes that session

00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:27.000
-based cookie way less of a problem. So why is

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.560
owning that hub so crucial for long -term safety

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.560
beyond just search engines? It prevents you from

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.860
losing your whole business if a platform decides

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:38.680
to ban your account for any reason. So once you

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.339
have that in each site, what do you actually

00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:43.120
write? The goal is not to just list a bunch of

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.360
specs. No. The goal is to write content that

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.959
solves problems and helps someone who is, you

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.240
know, wallet in hand make a decision. We've identified

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.220
three types of content that really drive this.

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.819
First, the comparison article. This is for the

00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:57.600
reader who has already decided to buy. They just

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.660
need help choosing, like Vitamix versus Ninja.

00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:03.240
Which Costco blender is best for green smoothies?

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.199
The second one is the is it worth it? It's a

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.959
psychological masterstroke. It is, because Costco

00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.519
items are often expensive or sold in huge bulk.

00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:15.310
people are afraid of wasting money. So writing

00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:18.170
something like, is the Costco executive membership

00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:21.569
actually worth $120? Helps them do the math.

00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.149
You're overcoming that fear. You're guiding them

00:07:24.149 --> 00:07:26.089
to a confident purchase. And the third type is

00:07:26.089 --> 00:07:29.250
the seasonal deal list. You know, top three best

00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:32.629
Costco grills for a summer BBQ. You're tapping

00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:35.509
into natural buying cycles. And the real secret

00:07:35.509 --> 00:07:38.550
to making this content persuasive. is to sell

00:07:38.550 --> 00:07:41.769
the benefit, not the feature. Yes. Don't just

00:07:41.769 --> 00:07:44.470
say the uni pizza oven is multi -fuel. That's

00:07:44.470 --> 00:07:47.170
a technical feature. Nobody cares. Instead, you

00:07:47.170 --> 00:07:49.730
focus on the benefit. You can bake an authentic

00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:52.329
Italian pizza in 60 seconds and impress all your

00:07:52.329 --> 00:07:55.389
friends. That experience is what drives the click.

00:07:55.850 --> 00:07:58.110
High value content increases your click -through

00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:00.750
rate, which maximizes the impact of that really

00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:03.569
restrictive session -based cookie. mid -roll

00:08:03.569 --> 00:08:05.670
sponsor. This is the core concept we've been

00:08:05.670 --> 00:08:07.269
building up to. This is what makes the difference

00:08:07.269 --> 00:08:09.230
between making a hundred dollars a month and

00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:11.709
maybe making eight thousand. It's the flip strategy.

00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:13.910
So since we know the Costco commissions are really

00:08:13.910 --> 00:08:16.470
low, like two to four percent, we use that low

00:08:16.470 --> 00:08:19.389
commission physical product as the bait. It solves

00:08:19.389 --> 00:08:22.170
an initial small problem for them. And then we

00:08:22.170 --> 00:08:25.110
immediately flip the customer to a high paying

00:08:25.110 --> 00:08:27.970
digital and related offer. A perfect example.

00:08:28.670 --> 00:08:32.240
Someone buys a set of weights from Costco. That

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.340
might be a $2 commission for you. That's the

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:36.799
bait. But their real goal isn't just to own weights,

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.940
their goal is to get fit. So the flip is an immediate

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:44.240
email or a link to a high ticket 12 -week muscle

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.690
building program. which pays you 30 or maybe

00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:50.370
$50 commission. You see this everywhere. They

00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:54.149
buy a Costco laptop. You flip them to a VPN service

00:08:54.149 --> 00:08:56.269
or productivity software. They buy a blender.

00:08:56.450 --> 00:08:59.570
Yeah. You flip them to a keto diet plan or a

00:08:59.570 --> 00:09:01.950
meal prep subscription. And this is totally ethical

00:09:01.950 --> 00:09:03.649
because you're actually helping them more. You

00:09:03.649 --> 00:09:05.129
know, if someone buys a guitar, they're going

00:09:05.129 --> 00:09:07.129
to need lessons. Right. You're just helping them

00:09:07.129 --> 00:09:08.610
complete the circle of what they really wanted

00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:10.750
to accomplish in the first place. And for scaling

00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:12.870
this, you know, for mapping out all these different

00:09:12.870 --> 00:09:15.590
bait and flip combinations, I mean, And the strategic

00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:19.409
use of AI for content planning is really the

00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:22.669
key. I still wrestle with prompt drift myself,

00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:24.990
you know, when the AI starts to lose its focus.

00:09:25.230 --> 00:09:27.610
What does that drift look like in practice? Is

00:09:27.610 --> 00:09:30.149
it like suggesting a yoga program when it just

00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.389
sold them a hammer? Exactly. It might suggest

00:09:32.389 --> 00:09:35.450
a totally unrelated product because it lost the

00:09:35.450 --> 00:09:38.169
context of that initial purchase. But when you

00:09:38.169 --> 00:09:40.809
use it right to map out those logical steps,

00:09:40.950 --> 00:09:43.990
laptop to software, treadmill to fitness plan,

00:09:44.049 --> 00:09:47.049
it gives you incredible leverage. So how does

00:09:47.049 --> 00:09:50.309
this flip strategy get around the problem of

00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:53.250
low commissions? It leverages that first sale

00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:56.169
for a second, much higher value transaction right

00:09:56.169 --> 00:09:58.769
afterwards. Okay, we have the site, we have the

00:09:58.769 --> 00:10:01.230
flip offers. Now, how do we get those high intent

00:10:01.230 --> 00:10:03.669
people to actually see it? The most reliable

00:10:03.669 --> 00:10:07.269
source of traffic is SEO, search engine optimization.

00:10:07.690 --> 00:10:10.129
And this means focusing on long tail keywords.

00:10:10.490 --> 00:10:12.909
These are just specific, really detailed phrases.

00:10:13.149 --> 00:10:14.669
They're much easier to rank for. So you don't

00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:18.139
target the word laptops? No, you target... best

00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:21.320
student laptop at Costco under $500. You can

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.259
use Google auto suggest to see what people are

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:25.059
already typing in. We also can't forget about

00:10:25.059 --> 00:10:27.139
Pinterest. It is not just social media. It's

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:29.620
a visual search engine and it's fantastic for

00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:32.320
shopping intent. You can just make a simple image

00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.000
in Canva with bold text like is this worth it

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.179
and link that image straight to your blog post.

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:40.639
It's so often overlooked. But the gold mine.

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.620
The step that is absolutely crucial for scaling

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:46.799
to that $8 ,000 goal, the one most beginners

00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.639
skip, is email marketing. You have to collect

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.419
emails. You have to. Offer a free guide, something

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:55.720
useful, like your Costco shopping list for healthy

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.179
eating, just to capture their information. That

00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:00.669
email list is retention. It is. It means you

00:11:00.669 --> 00:11:03.649
can send them weekly deals, seasonal reminders,

00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:06.549
and those high ticket flip offers over and over

00:11:06.549 --> 00:11:09.350
again. You build a real relationship. So even

00:11:09.350 --> 00:11:12.370
if SEO is working great, we have to collect emails

00:11:12.370 --> 00:11:15.870
to own that relationship. Precisely. Email retains

00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:18.149
the customer relationship, allowing you multiple

00:11:18.149 --> 00:11:20.710
shots at that high value flip offer over time.

00:11:20.850 --> 00:11:22.950
We also need to look beyond the physical products,

00:11:23.110 --> 00:11:24.690
you know, the things you actually see stacked

00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:27.330
up in the warehouse. Yes. The Costco affiliate

00:11:27.330 --> 00:11:29.950
program includes services, and that is where

00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:32.230
the commissions are significantly higher. Take

00:11:32.230 --> 00:11:34.850
the Costco auto program. You don't get a commission

00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:38.009
on the car itself. But you attract serious car

00:11:38.009 --> 00:11:39.950
buyers, people who are ready to spend thousands

00:11:39.950 --> 00:11:42.830
of dollars. Once you have their attention, you

00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:45.129
flip them to high commission offers like auto

00:11:45.129 --> 00:11:48.190
insurance or auto loans. And the business -to

00:11:48.190 --> 00:11:51.149
-business side is huge and almost totally ignored.

00:11:51.309 --> 00:11:53.809
Costco business printing attracts small business

00:11:53.809 --> 00:11:56.590
owners with cheap checks or office supplies.

00:11:56.750 --> 00:11:59.649
That tiny purchase is a trust signal. And once

00:11:59.649 --> 00:12:02.830
you have that trust? You introduce them to high

00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:06.090
ticket B2B software, QuickBooks for accounting,

00:12:06.809 --> 00:12:09.610
LegalZoom for forming a business. These can pay

00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:13.649
$50 or even $100 plus per lead. Wait, so the

00:12:13.649 --> 00:12:16.080
cheapest business purchase? like a set of business

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.799
cards, that becomes the most valuable lead generator

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.080
because it gets a small business owner into your

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.299
funnel. And allows you to flip them to a high

00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:25.519
commission accounting platform. Whoa. Imagine

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.840
scaling that. Leveraging the trust from a cheap

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.899
business card order to sell something like that

00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:32.320
to thousands of new small businesses. That just

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.679
completely changes how I think about B2B strategy.

00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:37.840
That is true leverage. And finally, look at home

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.759
improvement. Costco offers expensive services

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:45.059
like solar panels, HVAC systems. These are $5

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:48.080
,000 to $20 ,000 jobs. You attract homeowners

00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.539
with content about these services, then you flip

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:52.940
them to related high commission offers like home

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:55.539
warranty plans. You monetize the whole project.

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.940
So why are services easier to monetize than physical

00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:01.500
products? Services attract customers with a high

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:03.840
lifetime value who are already committed to spending

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.480
money. So let's just quickly recap the professional

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.279
strategy here. Hitting that income target is

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.600
absolutely possible, but you have to treat it

00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.190
like a real system. The four pillars are non

00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:16.830
-negotiable. Building a new website, creating

00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:20.129
genuinely helpful content. That's the bait. Implementing

00:13:20.129 --> 00:13:23.490
the flip strategy with digital services and consistently

00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:25.529
collecting email. It's a system for building

00:13:25.529 --> 00:13:28.789
wealth steadily. It is not a get rich quick gamble.

00:13:28.950 --> 00:13:31.169
And before you jump in, please avoid the two

00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:33.750
biggest traps. First, do not ignore the terms

00:13:33.750 --> 00:13:36.629
of service. Costco is very strict. You can't

00:13:36.629 --> 00:13:39.690
bid on their brand name in Google ads. And critically,

00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:43.419
do not quit too soon. We've established that

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:46.039
months one through three are often zero income.

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.899
Google is just starting to trust your site. If

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:51.519
you stop in month two, you did all that hard

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.139
work for nothing. The roadmap is clear. The key

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:57.659
is just immediate action and persistence. So

00:13:57.659 --> 00:13:59.820
your very first concrete step needs to be taken

00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:02.740
right now. Go to CJ .com and sign up for a publisher

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:05.710
account. Then just start brainstorming. The products

00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:07.710
and the strategy are all mapped out for you.

00:14:07.850 --> 00:14:10.129
The only missing element is your effort. What

00:14:10.129 --> 00:14:12.190
high intent high ticket niche are you going to

00:14:12.190 --> 00:14:12.690
tackle first?
