start affiliate marketing for a week
with zero dollars and this is how it went yo what's up everybody tropic here back
with a banger and in today's video i tried affiliate marketing for one week with zero
dollars and this is something ive wanted to do for a while and finally got around to doing
it and this should be interesting in the past i tried print on demand with zero dollars and in
the future i'm gonna be trying drop shipping with zero dollars so we'll see how those go but
affiliate marketing is something that is a big wage right now and if you guys are not familiar
with affiliate marketing it is basically where you are selling somebody else's product typically
digital however can be physical if it's an amazon link something like that but usually it's going to
be a digital product a different product usually being a course or a value of some sort some sort
of thing of making money online teaching other people how to do the same thing um so it's a
lot i'd say 90 percent of affiliate marketing is a scam but uh we're gonna find out exactly
whether you can actually do affiliate marketing and do it with zero dollars because there are
tons of videos on youtube there's tons of people everywhere there's instagram meals now there's
tech talks there's all sorts of crazy stuff that says you can do affiliate marketing people making
thousands of dollars a week we're here to find out if that is possible using some of the methods that
have been talked about by some of these people we're also going to be trying it on instagram
as well using a couple of my theme pages that i have that are in a higher niche too which is why i
built them up for this particular reason so we're going to see how this goes let's get straight
on into it all right so to start this off we're going to be trying to figure out what products
we're going to be selling and from what sort of affiliate vendor basically now i tried clickbank
okay i tried to make clickbank account three times every time i tried to finish it and finish it
there was i was putting an address or something every time i would finish my sign up it would
say something like your account just cannot be created there is errors so i gave up on
clickbank i've had a digi store 24 account for a while and i just used that basically i did
try purefly and jvzoo however when i did sign up for jvzoo i ended up having to create a whole
paypal business account that i did not intend on creating but i ended up doing it anyway so now
i have one of those because i just wanted to see what was in the marketplace for jvzoo and what i
saw was not quite what i was looking for now in jvzoo there's a lot of health stuff health niche
is probably one of the biggest affiliate marketing uh niches there is of course then there's the
wealth there's business there's spirituality and all sorts of stuff different random things
that also maybe you wouldn't really think about there's email marketing there's just all sorts
of stuff that you can do for affiliate marketing like i said though i didn't particularly care for
jvzoo so i did all my products from digistore24. and before we get into that first off i'm going
to watch some youtube videos here and see if i can learn a couple things pick up on a couple
websites because we are doing the zero dollars so we got to figure out how we're going to drive
traffic to our links we now have from digital 24.
So i went on youtube and i searched up how to
make money uh from affiliate marketing with free ads and i ended up finding out a couple websites
are pretty popular classified ads and a free ad form and of course i went ahead and i actually
people seem to think that these classified ads are very good now apparently there's tons
and tons of these websites you can go on to some videos had just a whole list of them you can
go on them and just copy and paste copy and paste copy and paste however i wasn't really going to
do all that because i didn't think that if it's not going to work on these top two websites i
don't think it's gonna work any other ones and there were some secret hacks where people would
be doing stuff in the youtube comment section little sneaky stuff it's kind of interesting but
i didn't quite get into all that i wasn't about to do all that a little too sketchy for me of course
there's email marketing and there's all sorts of other things where you can just you know whatever
you collect emails and then then you have to do your affiliate marketing from there i think that
takes a little bit of work as well so if you're really going to be into this invested into this
definitely take time and try to learn how to do that and get more involved i think in the email
marketing but you're going to need a lot a lot of numbers a lot of people are going to see it
because it's going to be a very low click-through rate not only very little click-through rate but
a very low purchase rates extremely low at least that's from my opinion my experience here and what
i've seen so you're gonna need a lot of eyes to be on your product and on your link all right
so i continued to watch a couple videos and uh here's a little blurb uh recorded
live as i was chilling on my bed over here i'm trying to put in his work right now man look
at this i'm on the grind right now just chilling watching videos trying to get things set up you
guys are going to see the footage but man this is this stuff gets a little complicated we'll see
how this goes hope you guys enjoyed that i was a little uh overwhelmed in the beginning but sorry
and honestly i was kind of dreading doing this because it just did not seem like a very good
business model and for me personally my end goal is to run my own business or my own brand to
be a product i actually enjoy and really do like do drop shipping i'm gonna be doing some stuff
that maybe i wouldn't necessarily want to build a long-term brand around but i definitely want to
do that at some point and build a actual brand and run a physical not a physical business running an
actual business in affiliate marketing although it might make you some cash on the side and you
know get you maybe some possibly some easy money for me it's just not exactly what i want to do
but for this video we definitely want to try it out and see how much money we could make with it
especially putting zero dollars into it honestly i wouldn't see any reason to really pay money to do
facebook ads anything like that for this affiliate marketing you definitely could don't see quite the
reason to do that because i think there are a fair amount of free methods to do this can work anyway
let's get back into what we were doing here i made up my own titles and then my descriptions and
stuff what i was going to put the post and i tried it on craigslist i know even though they said they
don't like it tried it and of course i think my post got denied something like that so but i did
try it and i found a quora that said yeah they absolutely hate it so from what i originally
thought i started on craigslist didn't they didn't like it money from home you know offering
a job they didn't quite like that so i had three products that i was selling three ads that i was
running here and that was a youtube course uh by matt parr i think and then it was a crypto course
and then it was a instagram page like making money through instagram course as well that i'd do so
i was doing three courses uh through digistore24 then i went ahead and hopped onto the free
classified ad form thing and then i also did classified ads and i ran i did it on both however
i had a problem with the free ad form i did all three posts however when i went to my account
they did not show up under anything and i thought it was just me because the first day they weren't
showing up i checked a couple days later they did not show up the post i don't know what happened
to them i have no clue i couldn't see insights considering i didn't see the post anywhere so i
have no idea what happened to them i like i said i posted three of them i don't know what happened
to them that's finance.com i couldn't see that and we'll get the results in just a minute but
that did work and then of course i did try putting some stuff on facebook marketplace that's the hot
place to sell stuff and yeah they didn't quite get approved so um but i did give it a shot i tried
wording it very carefully so it wouldn't be taken down or in the review phase it wouldn't be
blocked but unfortunately it didn't quite work out here on my instagram cleaning page here
luxurious i ran multiple ads here over the past week i'm now over 10k on this page so
i can have a swipe up link and i did use that and i also put in my descriptions and pretty
much every one of my posts you check out the link in bio if they wanted to make passive income
or just give a little spiel for them to check the link in the bio so they would get to that product
and potentially buy it to make money on instagram that's the main thing i was selling there and then
i also did this on my motivational pages it is slowly growing and that is actually part of the
instagram business that i was running if you guys have been a power channel for a little while
now there's a series called starting an instagram business and um this was going to be a little part
of that and then of course that video has not come out yet and i'm still in the process of working on
that i've been very busy have not paid attention to that page very much but i did try to use
two these two pages with you know motivational entrepreneur type followers hopefully drive some
traffic you know with these high-end followers and get some purchases you'll see i got about
67 website taps something like that i got a fair amount of clicks i didn't get a ton but i got a
fair amount and then also then i also got a dm from somebody because i put up a story ad dm me
money get the conversation going that's another tactic that i see and i even talked with this
one guy about it i think it's the similar page to mine he said that he uses the dming to make it
build like a little more trust with the individual i gave that a shot and i got somebody to dm me
money sent the link and i kind of gave him a little and said hey like course kind of teaches
you how to run theme pages tells you everything you know i know that's how you can make money on
instagram so i didn't respond to it i don't know if they clicked it i have no clue but let's hop
into the results from the classified ads now of course the classified ad forum that one listings
disappeared so we have no idea what happened with those listings unclassified as we can go check
that out and see how those did so you'll notice here all three ads that we put up on this website
had just one view and that was the initial posting which was my view it is time to head in the
results from digital 24 to see the entire clicks sales and everything all together let's get right
into it the last seven days we got 31 clicks down a little bit now i'm going to be including all
the results i'm going to kind of give you guys an idea of i've been trying this for a while and
i've been working on this my one page affluent.est that is part of the instagram business series
that i'm trying to get going here with a struggle trying to get some content for because i have not
made any real progress with it i've been trying affiliate marketing and now currently i'm trying
a little bit put down the man with it it doesn't work then i'm going to hop onto something else
i really thought affiliate marketing would be the answer here but as you're going to see the
results get zero dollars in earnings so that's very unfortunate but it kind of is what it is
this past week that we grind it out put out some ads and some free ad forms like i said before
earlier in the video if we put it on 70 different platforms maybe somebody would view it maybe
somebody would buy something but i thought the instagram stuff would really give me a good shot
instagram affiliate marketing it's very popular and it seems to work for some people definitely
needed to give it a shot and i did and i could not make a sale i don't know honestly like i've been
struggling to make sales online whether it's my print on demand or my affiliate marketing not kind
of drop shipping yet so we'll see how that goes i think that's going to be where i hit it big but
you see since this account was created i had 167 clicks i haven't made a single sale let's just say
get another 30 views and i get one at you know 200 and so we're just going to kind of play it along a
little bit here but conversion rate would be less than a percent and of course that's not very good
numbers you know you're going to be aiming for i'd say probably a high end five percent you know you
want to be at least like two percent even that's pretty low you want to get it even higher but i
think for this affiliate marketing a good name would be two to three percent i don't know and of
course we didn't even come close we came close to well for zero percent so i guess we didn't really
come close at all but who knows you guys think i thought i did a pretty good job of hoarding
everything my ads that i kind of did how i worded things and just trying to be proactive on
the instagram stuff stories using their using the tools that they gave me to do that and then two
accounts and then i posted on ad forms and then i tried facebook craigslist obviously that's nothing
quite work out to do it on those free ad forms and like i mentioned earlier there's not a lot of eyes
that are going to get on there i mean everybody on that entire website is just trying to make a quick
buck that's all it is so in my opinion affiliate marketing i think it's very good if you have
like a youtube channel or a blog or a following a traditional affiliate marketing where you're going
to be getting a commission for a product usually amazon product or something like that where
you're going to make a little bit of commission from that i don't see courses you know i think
it's a little more difficult maybe the health niche is better the wealth niche it seems to work
for some people for me it didn't i don't know you guys can give it a shot i tried it for a week it
was a waste of my time but i got some content for you guys so hopefully you did enjoy this um i try
this stuff so you guys don't really have to you can kind of get a realistic perspective of what
might happen when you try this stuff for just a week or for whatever period of time i do kind
of give you guys an idea of whether it's worth your time or not it's kind of the whole point of
this channel it's where i try to make money online so then you guys can too that is of course if i'm
successful in what i'm doing i'm not then you know what to not spend your time on you guys didn't
enjoy this video if you did make sure you drop a like subscribe for more content and the moral of
the story is affiliate marketing it could be good for you could not be good for you for my products
you know for everything i tried it was not a it was not a w it was a big fat l but i'm excited
for the other stuff we got coming out soon on the channel so you do not want to miss that but we try
and drop shipping we're going to be doing print on demand again a lot of crypto stuff coming out too
so stay tuned for that i'll catch y'all next one
