How to Create a High Converting Affiliate Marketing Sales Funnel

hey everyone this is neil patel here and.
today we have another q a thursday video.
i'm here with adam lodolce from.
viewership hello everyone.
and this week's question is oh i'm going.
to get this name wrong but i'm going to.
try kubaib khan.
and did i get that right kubibe i don't.
know all right i apologize for not.
knowing how to pronounce your name i.
really am sorry but thank you for your.
comment and the question is that can i.
make a website for free just to start up.
and then will it work for affiliate.
marketing basically affiliate marketing.
this is a good question and thank you.
for leaving the comment.
a lot of people believe and they have.
this misconception in their head that if.
you want to do affiliate marketing you.
need to spend money on a premium domain.
name spend a lot of money on a design.
and that is completely wrong you can.
start up with the free wordpress theme.
start up a site you can even have your.
site on wordpress. com.
you can try to build your traffic and.
then monetize it does not cost money to.
do affiliate marketing yes most.
affiliates make money from facebook ads.
or google ads and then they send that.
traffic to their landing page and then.
push people to whatever products or.
services that they're selling that works.
that's a good model but you don't have.
to start off that way doing something as.
simple as throwing up a free wordpress.
site will do well.
and if i was to start off in doing.
affiliate marketing i had little to no.
money here's what i would do i'd go to.
wordpress. com set up a website pick a.
vertical that i'm passionate about if.
you're not passionate you won't create.
enough content when you're passionate.
you're willing to put in the hours the.
time energy it takes to succeed it's not.
going to be easy but i believe in you.
you can do it.
once you have a topic you're passionate.
about.
go and create content whether it's.
text-based content video based content.
audio based content you pick.
whatever is the easiest for you can take.
out your phone create some videos write.
some blog posts whatever it may be.
now that you got your content going i.
want you to do a simple thing go to.
tools like buzzsumo they have free.
versions look at other titles that have.
done well you can also use semrush for.
free or uber suggests.
put in keywords see what ideas are.
popular.
and go and see what's working and start.
creating more of that kind of content.
because that'll help you get even more.
traffic now you got a base of content.
already before you do this now you're.
starting to write content that people.
want to search for share you can even do.
that at first if you want but generally.
i say you should start off just by.
writing what you're passionate about and.
want to get off your mind or your chest.
and then what you want to do is you want.
to start sharing the content look to see.
on twitter who's tweeting out similar.
content ask them to tweet out your.
content you want to see who you link to.
email them let them know that you link.
to them ask them to share your content.
if you're in places like the european.
union make sure you follow gdpr rules i.
don't know if you can just randomly.
email people worst case use their.
website contact form let them know that.
you emailed let them know that you.
linked to them and ask them to share.
your content this will start helping you.
get traffic.
then you want to use tools like.
subscribers and hello bar to collect.
emails to collect subscribers get people.
coming to your site once they subscribe.
you can notify them every time you have.
new blog posts that are coming out you.
do this for six months you've built up a.
community an audience.
and then when you mention products.
within your blog post that you're.
affiliate for and you push them you'll.
start seeing income.
that's how it had to that's how it start.
if i were you and i had you know no.
money to spend on facebook ads and.
you're just starting off and i'm not.
saying that doesn't mean you can't do.
facebook ads and make that work but.
that's how it started off if i had.
little to no money you don't need a.
registered domain name you don't have to.
pay for hosting you can monetize by just.
creating a simple website on.
wordpress. com and following the steps i.
mentioned.
yeah i mean the only thing i would add.
to that is just make sure you're getting.
people's email addresses when they're.
coming to your website like if i were to.
start youtube all over again and just.
want to you know collect email addresses.
i would literally have a one-page.
address that i would send everyone to.
for my youtube videos be like hey go.
here collect the email and then when you.
want to launch an affiliate program or.
obviously your own product that's true.
you can promote to the email list yeah.
and you can use hellobar. com to do that.
for free there it is so there it is all.
