This was a really good video! Thanks!!

[@alexandratoth5614]

There is so much noise in the internet around affiliate marketing. So many misleadings and false content. I appreciate your effort in showing the simple and pure side of it. Keep going with the truthful content, I think that’s how you add value to this market:)

[@GregGottfried]

Thank you for saying that, it means a lot to hear it because that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'll keep the tutorials coming and if you run into any questions as you're watching them just let me know!

[@kenpaeth199]

Awesome Greg!! He has the most honest and comprehensive course I have found. Worth the money!

[@GregGottfried]

Thank you Ken! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this 🙌

I appreciate that!

[@marziaa81]

Hi Greg! Your honesty is really appreciate!! just one thing, if I don't have anything my youtube channel yet, would you suggest to apply anyway for affiliate programs or I should create any kind of content beforehand?

[@digitalincometactics9858]

Hi Greg, it doesn't get more clear for beginner's how you should do affiliate marketing and straight to the point!

Thankyou Jesse

Pinkman at your service!

[@gittarpikk]

That was extremely informative. Although I have been both the YT and URL paths, I actually had more results over the years with the YT platform. The proliferation by the Ai tools just compound that fact but I never knew why, for sure, until this video. Makes total sense. Maybe people are just tired of ending up on a landing page and would rather just skip to the buy instead...but that now seems to be the 'modus operandi' now

[@GregGottfried]

I totally agree. I think people want to quickly get where they want to go, and no longer have the patience for landing pages 👍🏼

[@lebanonmartialarts780]

Your content is gold brother! I’ve watched hundreds of, if not thousands of hours of videos on this subject (affiliate marketing) and you are being transparent and giving RELEVANT information that works now. Not informative that is behind the current trend. Thank you sir!! Truly!!

[@GregGottfried]

I appreciate that! It means a lot to hear that because that’s exactly what I’m trying to accomplish with these videos. If you have any questions as you’re going along, just let me know, I’d be happy to help you out!

[@edetarchibong1733]

That was very interesting. So much information in such a short space of time. If I do not have any hobbies or anything of interest to talk to people about, can I still succeed in affiliate marketing?

[@GregGottfried]

Absolutely! You can really go into any niche and find successful content ideas 👍

[@kathrynjayne]

Hi. Thank you for the videos. I find them incredibly helpful. I’m currently looking for a new path. I spent way too long spinning my wheels in Direct sales. I was wondering how you feel about Amazon KDP? My idea is to make journals, or other low content books and create a KZbin Chanel that is for self improvement and promote them there? What are your thoughts? Is Amazon KDP worth my time?

[@GregGottfried]

Thank you for the comment, and great question. Totally understand that, I did direct sales back in the day and got burned out quickly and ended up leaving. I tried Amazon KDP a couple years ago with not much success.. It seemed to be a lot of 'hoping it works' and not much I could do about it to ensure it worked (hope that makes sense). I would suggest doing affiliate marketing of higher ticket items on that same youtube channel you're considering starting. You'll make a lot more money per sale, and have more control over how much you make by making more videos. This video that we're commenting on is the best all-in-one tutorial I've got on this business model on youtube, but if you're in a position to be able to enroll in the full Masterclass, I think you'll be very happy with what you find there (it's all laid out step-by-step). Just so you don't have to search for the link, it's here greggottfried.com/course Really hoping to get to help you get going!

[@gathhewlett7320]

Hi Greg. I am really impressed with presentation and motivated to start affiliate marketing. Although I cannot afford your masterclass at the moment, I do hope to take it in the future. I have a simple question regarding the process. Do I place the referral link from the Company in the article I place on Google, while using the sign up process to link the KZbin video?

[@GregGottfried]

I look forward to having you in the masterclass group. The link goes in the description of your KZbin video 👍 hope that makes sense and helps.

[@kolmst]

What do you recommend to edit videos?

[@MorrasontheMove-dp6uw]

Greg, is it true that in order to livestream on KZbin I must have at least 1,000 subscribers? Do you mostly livestream or do short videos on KZbin? Thanks.

[@War_is_war]

Sir U are a great person I can feel that. I'm trying to launch my KZbin channel yet no views no subscribers its stuck. I realized I don't have the skills necessary to succeed If I had money I would buy that course 500 dollar its not a big deal unfortunately I'm completely broke at the moment so 500 bucks it seems to me like climbing a mountain. I pray every day to become successful and rich soon or later it will happen. Regards

[@beverlylor9829]

Hi greg! I've been consumming your material voraciously! I'm interested in your course but im still confused about a few things. How do I reach you directly to clarify some details before proceeding with the purchase?

[@GregGottfried]

That’s awesome! If you leave a new comment it will shoot to the top of my notifications (and I check them daily). For some reason comment replies don’t notify me. Let me know what you’re thinking and I’ll get back to you asap!

[@harwinder00777]

Greg thanku so much for this information.can you make video how to make videos on KZbin without showing face

[@TeresaLoudermilk]

Not a comment but a question what it looks like you have to have a website for each affiliate product you sell?

[@GregGottfried]

Great question. It would be a website per niche (or category products) and the same for a KZbin channel

[@jonmcneil8458]

Do you offer an affiliate program for your course? My audience might be interested.

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks for asking! Yes I do, but it’s only available to students enrolled in the course 👍🏼

[@MorrasontheMove-dp6uw]

Greg, I'm currently bogged down in the Fullstaq Marketer course which seems like it's taking forever to get through. I don't have HOURS upon HOURS to get through endless videos and the set up of the 'funnels' seems endless and goes nowhere. Do you recommend continuing or just trying to do the KZbin channel idea instead of funnels? Thanks for your videos.

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks for giving me some background on your situation. I've done the whole funnels strategy and it wasn't for me because it's all together too complicated. If I were in your shoes, I'd just take a pause on the course and try the KZbin strategy. It's a lot simpler, you can create the channel in a couple hours, and you'll be ready to roll. Some of the students I've taught are making money in the first weeks of starting so I think if you've got the drive to get rolling quickly, you'll start making money pretty straight away.

[@MorrasontheMove-dp6uw]

@@GregGottfried Thanks for taking time to respond. Very grateful and that is what I'm thinking about doing. Seems less overwhelming for sure!

[@GregGottfried]

@@MorrasontheMove-dp6uw Absolutely. If you run into any questions just give me a shout!

[@asandra1804]

Hi are you saying that blogging is not a good idea at all in 2024? I was so excted to start one

[@GregGottfried]

Unfortunately, yes that's been my experience lately. It may change in the future as Google gets a handle on the AI content, but the videos uploaded to KZbin are absolutely crushing it in comparison.

[@JonnyTsunami728]

This is great information, but I have no friends or family asking me for advice, and I have no interests, so I feel I can't really apply this as much as I would love to.

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks for the comment! No worries, you can still pick a niche that you may find yourself interested in and then learn about it as you go 👍

[@TigerChic]

Same here, no family or anything, but I am very good with animals and that is my true passion. So I started a channel about animals, so I could get some practice and learn about YT. But since taking Greg's Masterclass, I am starting a new channel. I've learned that "making money online" and all this "AI" is the top money making niches right now, especially on YT. So I just spent the day going through the class videos again so I could get that channel started. This is not a sales pitch: But if you haven't signed up for Greg's class yet, you really should! I'm being completely honest with this...I had just lost my job and I spent my last paycheck (my rent money) on that class. I have not regretted it!. I am truly moving forward and starting to make money with affiliate marketing. I don't think I will have to go back to work now. And in my opinion..the best part about that class is that Greg is always there to answer questions and always helping you get over any speed bumps. I highly recommend that class. Anyway, don't let anything stop you from getting your life where you want it. I truly hope the very best for you 🙂

[@beverlylor9829]

​@TigerChic thanks, can I reach out to you to talk more about your experience with the course before I jump in? I wanted to speak with someone who is currently taking the course.

[@down-the-rabbit-hole]

You should go over how to create faceless videos. Not everyone has a face that's meant for video. I mean it's sad but very true that lots of people judge by that... That's why most of the thumbnails you see from successful youtubers all have above average looks.

[@Anniearts15]

Do these programs work in a country like Pakistan? By the way loved your video!

[@GregGottfried]

Yes they absolutely do. Thanks for the comment 🙌

[@lasrimohamed6484]

I m just starting to read about that affiliate marketing My question is that it works from others countries ? (Africa)

[@GregGottfried]

Nice! Yes you can do affiliate marketing from anywhere in the world 👍

[@judieloux3610]

My plan was for using Pinterest. How would i do that? I am not comfortable talking on video.

[@GregGottfried]

For Pinterest, I didn't have much success when I tried. It's somewhere between social and search because the photos do show up in image search results. Not as easy to do as with videos on KZbin, but still technically possible to use search traffic.

[@khebenazi]

You are doing good job man, but please landing page is very important.

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks! I don't use landing pages personally. I send directly from KZbin videos to product affiliate links.

[@Anura2024]

Is your master class is life time availability?

[@GregGottfried]

Yes it is 🙌

[@mikeidaewor4804]

How about this if us from the other part of the world who would love to take course but don’t have the funds? Should we just look away? 😢

[@GregGottfried]

I wish I could offer it at a lower price but it wouldn’t be fair to give away. However, I will continue trying to create as many full length free tutorials here on KZbin to help you get started with no cost 😀

[@mikeidaewor4804]

@@GregGottfried Thank you 🙏 so much, I will forever be grateful if that happens. Looking forward to seeing such a post from you sir.

[@donovanfrankpapa4256]

I have a few questions. The first is the full master tutorial what is cost and is it a one time buy? The second is does it work in Canada? Three is how does the commissions get deposited into the account? Lastly is it possible to do this at 17 years old?

[@iliyasshaikh6761]

Sir, I want to learn how to create a website. Make a video on how to create a website

[@gittarpikk]

I have created dozens in just the last few years and many more before that..Anyone can easily create a 'cookie cutter' website, but the question "is it the right one" can only be answered by doing the research to determine the "is it the right one" .There are many 'blanks' that need filled in some of which include what is sites intent, who are you selling to "if selling', How large will the site eventually be (one page or Amazon size?), Where are people currently going for similar content....and the list goes on and on. You will be amazed at what you can do without the headache of website design using a venue like YT, FB , Instagram, Tic Toc or Pinterest.

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks for the comment. I made 2 tutorials on the channel that go through Wix and Wordpress showing how to make an affiliate website from scratch. I will say though, I highly recommend a KZbin channel instead of a website nowadays for affiliate marketing. It’s much less work and works a lot better for affiliate marketing 👍🏼

[@GregGottfried]

I totally agree!

[@judieloux3610]

Some of the ones i tried, asked for my business website, which i do not have.

[@GregGottfried]

I recommend making a free KZbin channel and using it as your website link. That's what I personally do.

[@judieloux3610]

@GregGottfried thank you. After I typed the comment, you mentioned that. What if they are also asking for my business model, how and where I will be promoting and they want me to file a W9 or W8NEN. This is through CJ.

[@annaintili1777]

Started a you tube Chanel to advertise my affiliate marketing? So, Im trying to understand the set up process, Im older and it needs to be clear for me. Thank you, you have so much information and so glad your sharing. 😊

[@GregGottfried]

That's correct! If you're able to enroll in the Masterclass I put together, I think it's the step-by-step instructions you're looking for. I created the entire course as if I were teaching a family member how to get started from day-1 with no prior experience (and all the steps are shown on screen recording so you can follow step-by-step). The link is here if you'd like to look into it: greggottfried.com/course I hope to get the opportunity to help you along!

Everyone tells the same thing... Better B told an effective way to attract traffic when there is no money for advertising!!!

[@GregGottfried]

I’ll make you a video on this specifically 👍🏼 in the meantime this videos strategy is exactly what I’ll explain it detail. It gets you organic traffic from search traffic on KZbin and Google. No paid ads and no following needed. The best of both worlds.

[@kevinturton3310]

So unrealistic for most. The real money is the course that is being offered.

[@GregGottfried]

I can totally appreciate where you’re coming from because so many people who sell courses now focus their income around the course sales themselves. I hope to get the chance to show you that that is not how I operate. Without looking at my numbers exactly, I think I can safely say that the course only represents between 5-10% of my income. I actually run the same business that I teach in the course, and that is where the vast majority of my income comes from. Lastly, I know words are empty without proof, so, if you watch the free preview of the course, I show income proof just for added credibility 👍

[@kevinturton3310]

@@GregGottfried Spoken like a true Gentleman. Appreciate the response. Happy to learn more.

[@TigerChic]

I understand why you think that. I think 98% of the time, that is true. I learned that the hard way many years ago. But I can honestly say that Greg is not like that at all. I bought Greg's course as soon as he put it online. I'm not kidding when I say this: I spent my last paycheck on that course. But, because I have been learning from Greg for a very long time and I knew I could trust him. And I can honestly say, I have not regretted spending that money on that course. I am following his lead and I'm starting to build my business. I plan to never have to work a "J O B" ever again. I promise you, this is not a sales pitch...have you ever heard the old saying "The proof is in the pudding"? Well in this situation...The proof is in the pudding.... And I'M MAKING PUDDING 💃💃💃🤸🤸🤸😃😃😃
