an income. So in this video, I want to do a complete rundown of how to get started with affiliate marketing, the tools that I use, the tools that you can also use, all of the startup costs that you need
Speaker A
in order to get started, along with those different ways that you can earn while doing so. So first things first, this is going to be kind of like a two-part series. This is going to be the first part, and then next week is going to be
Speaker A
the second part in which I discuss further my Pinterest affiliate marketing. Now really quickly, if you're not familiar, what is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is the process in which an affiliate, which is you and me, earns a commission for marketing another
Speaker A
person's or company's product. So once you recommend the product, the person makes a purchase from that recommendation, you get a small profit from it. Now the three steps I'm going to be discussing in this video for the affiliate marketing are going to be step
Speaker A
number one: creating a website, blog, or landing page. Step number two is going to be finding those affiliate products and things in order to recommend and get that affiliate income, and step number three is going to be actually pushing
Speaker A
out that content in order to get those affiliates rolling in. Okay, so if you've watched any of my other Pinterest affiliate marketing videos, you know that I have a website or a landing page, and you know that it is through WordPress.
Speaker A
The first thing I'm going to want you guys to do is set up a website or a landing page or a blog in order to promote those affiliate products on. If you do not already have one, I highly
Speaker A
suggest utilizing the web hosting platform called Hostinger. The reason I suggest Hostinger is because of the amazing pricing, and I also suggest them because they have an amazing AI tool that builds a complete website for you within 5 to 10 minutes. You can have a
Speaker A
complete website totally set up for you in order to get started. Now you are able to go in, edit the font, the color, the things that you want on your website, all of that after the AI builds you that
Speaker A
website. However, if you're looking to get started and you're not great at website coding and things like that, you don't need to know any of those things in order to get started with hosting. Now you can start by clicking my link in the
Speaker A
description box or pinned comment down below. Once you click that link, it's going to take you to this page here, right here, where it says $2.99 claim deal. Click that claim deal, and then you're going to select add to cart. So
Speaker A
once you select that add to cart, it's going to bring you to this screen that allows you to select your period in which you want to pay, so monthly or annually. Now I do want to point out something here: if you do select the
Speaker A
monthly, you are going to be paying a lot more, and here we are, we're trying to save money. So if you select the last one here on the right that says $2.99 per month for 48 months plus three free
Speaker A
months, you're also going to get a free domain with this yearly plan. But after you choose your plan, it's going to take you to the checkout screen where it says have a coupon code. Go ahead and input that: Kimberly Mitchell. As you can see
Speaker A
right here, it takes 10% off, making four entire years plus three free months only $129.17. However, no matter which yearly plan that you do end up choosing, you can take advantage of the limited-time deal of using my coupon code on the, again, the
Speaker A
yearly plan deals in order to get that discount. For this part, I want to go over the AI website builder, show you guys how easy it is to set up a completely new website. Once you've completed that sign
Speaker A
up, you're going to be on the homepage and ready to create that new website. You're just going to select right here, setup. Next, you're just going to click Start creating and then tell us about your site. You're going to input a brand
Speaker A
name that you want this site to show. You're going to put in the website type, like are you going to be doing a blog, an online store, a landing page? For this, I'm going to select a blog to show you all,
Speaker A
and then in the description, you're going to want to put as much detail about the things that you want on your blog, the things you're going to be posting on your blog, what you have a passion for, what your blog's going to be about.
Speaker A
You're going to want to input as much info here in order to give the AI all of the information needed in order to build that website. So since I'm just showing you all this, I've input my brand name
Speaker A
Kimberly Mitchell, and then for the description, I put: I am a mother who will be talking about sustainable beauty and bath products for the whole entire family. I like a holistic living approach and we'll be discussing healthy ways to
Speaker A
live. And then I'm just going to select create a website here, and then voila, that took not even 60 seconds for it to create. Now another amazing thing I want to show you all is here on the left-hand
Speaker A
side of the builder. This is the AI tab that gives you AI tools that's going to continue to make that blog building really easy. One major tool I want to point out is the AI blog creator. So this
Speaker A
is going to create blog posts for you, so you can go in, edit them, add affiliate links, all of that good stuff to your blog, and it's going to make it incredibly easy. For an example for you, I
Speaker A
just went ahead and input five sustainable beauty and bath products for the whole family, the shortest option, which is 300 to 500 words for the blog post, and within seconds it created that blog post like you can see. So from here,
Speaker A
you would just go in, edit, add those affiliate links, and the AI tools have all of that stuff available for you in order to go and customize it exactly how you want it. Now as you can see, that's an
Speaker A
amazing tool, and that's exactly why I'm recommending it. Okay, so step number two is going to be finding those products in order to talk about on your blog or website or to promote to other people. For me, I do this step two different ways.
Speaker A
The first way I do it is by recommending products that I've actually used and loved. So you can do this by finding items that you actually love and use and finding referral codes, referral links, things like that in order to share on
Speaker A
your blog or website, in order to share with other people. And when other people purchase with that link, you get a commission for it. Now let me give you a perfect example of this: SoFi is the best bank that I've ever used for personal
Speaker A
checking, savings, investment, all in one platform form. I'm not going to go through the huge thing, but SoFi is my favorite bank ever, and I would recommend it to everybody everywhere who can sign up for it. SoFi also has a referral link
Speaker A
that I can use, and when I refer other people, if they sign up with my link, I get a commission for them signing up. That's the perfect example of what I mean whenever I say recommending products that you use and love. It's the
Speaker A
best way, it's the funnest way, it's the most enjoyable way to do affiliate marketing. Secondly, there are other affiliate platforms that you can find and use. For example, the Amazon Affiliates program or the Amazon Audible. Those are programs that are available to
Speaker A
a wide range of individuals in different countries. It gives lots of people the opportunity to sign up. You don't really have to meet a lot of criteria in order to get started with the Amazon Affiliates program. Others may recommend
Speaker A
using things like DigiStore. I don't personally recommend that. I find that the products are not modern, they're not something I want to put my name on. If you like it, don't comfort me. That's just my opinion. I'm not going to recommend
Speaker A
DigiStore. I think the products are a little bit crappy. I wouldn't personally recommend using DigiStore. If you want a complete video on how to sign up with the Amazon Affiliates program, h-
Speaker A
Affiliates program leave me a comment down below I'll be happy to make a video about that however it's pretty simple you can just look on Google Google will tell you it's very simple to get started okay now after step number two you've
Speaker A
found your products that you want to recommend you found your affiliate program or platform that you want to recommend products through or get your links through now all that's completed you have your website you have the platform you're going to be using in
Speaker A
order to get links from in order to actually affiliate market number three is going to be creating that content and dispersing that content again for me I do it two ways YouTube and Pinterest now you can also do it with blog ranking
Speaker A
like through Google ranking you can do it that way as well that's a little bit more difficult I do recommend the Pinterest as a way to go about doing it or if you have some type of social media
Speaker A
Instagram Tik Tok YouTube get in front of a wider audience that's going to be one of the best ways to go about it this is a step where you're going to want to start creating those blog posts and
Speaker A
getting those links added into blog post in order to get ranked in blogging or get started with the Pinterest affiliate marketing I have a video coming out next week that's specifically for Pinterest affiliate marketing how to create blog
Speaker A
posts how to create pins through canva how to put your links in it all of that it's going to be a complete rundown and an update video on my income from doing that if you feel that you have any
Speaker A
