made $45,000 in just one week with my online business. You don't want to miss this one. Hey, what is up guys? ODi Productions here. If you're new to the channel, just a quick about me.
I'm a 24-year-old entrepreneur. Two years ago I dropped out
of my dream school UCLA. My senior year with a 3.5 GPA. In order to pursue online
business and entrepreneurship.
Two years later, basically,
living my dream life. Now in this video, you know, this one is actually going to be a really special video today. And I've been thinking about making this video for a while now and that was kind of on
the fence of sharing this, but I feel that if I share my story, my ultimate goal is to inspire
other young entrepreneurs, or it doesn't matter what your age, inspire other entrepreneurs who are looking to take that leap of faith into online business. And just give you guys some mentorship, and if I can teach you something today then my job will be done.
So anyways, I woke up this
morning fired up, fired up. I made a long Instagram post. If you guys aren't
following me by the way, it's @odi_productions. I took a picture of my view, which you guys can see in the background.
But this morning especially, it was just so epic with the sunrise. I did a little story right here which you guys can read if
you follow me on the Gram. You guys can also check
out some cool pics, like my car right here, which is a Porsche 911 Turbo for those who have not seen my car or any of my other videos for that matter. But basically, I woke up fired up and I wanted to just
inspire someone today.
And I wanted to share and create content, and just get out there into the world. So that's what I'm doing right now. And this video I been thinking about making it for quite some time. And I've thought about it and here's basically how this
video is going to work out.
So the first thing that
we're going to talk about, is I'm going to show you guys proof. I'm gonna show you guys proof because I know there's gonna be skeptics, doubters, haters, whatever. I'm gonna show you guys
as much proof as possible, and trust me, I got more
proof than a math professor, show you guys all the proof. Once we get that out of the way and once weed out all the people who are skeptics and whatever.
Let's get into the
actual meat and potatoes of talking about actionable ways in which you can get
to that level of income through online business. And it's only gonna be
through online business, you're not gonna be
making this from a job, I'll tell you that. And I used to work the nine to five. I hated it, I had to get out of it, and luckily for me I was
able to use entrepreneurship to get out that.
I'm going to go over the profits,
the expenses, everything, so you guys can see the profit margin. How much I really took
home from that $45,000, and it's actually most of it. And so after we get all the proof and everything squared away, I'm going to get into
the meat and potatoes and the nitty-gritty
of what my business is, which is affiliate marketing. And I'm going to explain to
you why affiliate marketing is the best online business
opportunity out there today.
I'm going to explain why
it's better than Amazon FBA, better than Dropshipping,
better than stock market, you know trading options,
better than all of those. And then after that I'm going
to actually share with you how you can get started
today for little to no money. And that's one of the pluses
of affiliate marketing is you don't need to own any products or services of your own, and you can just promote
products and services that are already being sold. Have you heard of GoDaddy? I'm sure you've seen
the commercials on TV.
That is an example of affiliate marketing where they actually pay
you a set commission if people sign up through you for GoDaddy. So, that's just a quick example, but let's hop into my computer so I can show you guys the proof and get started with this video. Let's go. All right guys, we have
hopped into my computer, and I'm just going to go
through this real quick.
I'm going to show you guys the numbers. I'm going to show you guys the PayPal and I'll show you guys the money deposited into my bank accounts, so it actually got there and it didn't disappear along the way. And then I'm going to
show you guys the expenses from my advertising campaigns, which is the only expenses
for affiliate marketing, because you don't actually
own the products or services, so you don't need to pay for inventory or anything like that, which is a huge plus. So basically with affiliate marketing, one thing about the numbers
that I have to say is, these numbers are generally
mostly profit margin.
The only expense you
really have is advertising. So basically you're looking
at profit margins of anywhere around y90, 95, 85% versus
something like Amazon FBA, that's usually around 20, 25%. So anyways, let's get on with this, because I don't want to
waste any time in this video. So here you guys can see,
this is PayPal's website.
We are looking at the
dates of May 16th, 2017 to May 22nd, 2017, that's seven days, count them, and you guys can see payments
received 45,000, $45,300. And now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna log in to my
Chase Bank bank account and I'm going to show you
guys those actual deposits into my bank account, just to verify. All right, so here we are
guys in my Chase account, and here we can see the PayPal
transfers into my account, you can see the amounts. I'm going to add these
amounts up right here.
Let me just get my calculator out because I can't do this in my head. I was never too good at math in school. So let's do that real quick, 24,625. And as you guys can see, hopefully you guys can see with my webcam.
$45,300 Counted up, matches up perfectly
with the PayPal account. So those are the numbers
right there for the revenue. Now let's look into my expenses, which is basically two things, it's my AdWords account from Google, and it is my Facebook Ads Manager. So the first thing we're gonna hop into is the AdWords account.
So, go into here, and this
is the AdWords dashboard. And if you guys look at this column, this column says cost,
and if I scroll down, you guys can see the
total cost is $1,688.15, And this is for the date range of May 16th, 2017 to May 22nd, 2017. Same date range as it is in PayPal, so you guys can see, spent
under $2000 during that time, and if I go into Facebook Ads now... Here's my Facebook Ads Manager, and I have the date set again May 16th, 2017 to May 22nd, 2017, you guys can see, total
spend is only $55.97.
So obviously, really minimal spent, but if we add these two together and then we're going to
subtract that $45,300. So, let's subtract the
55.97 From Facebook, then let us subtract the 1,688.15, Leaves us at $43,555.88,
Let's divide that by 45,300, and you guys can see 96%, 96.15% Profit. So, I hope that gives
you guys the numbers, now I'm going to give you
guys a little other proof that isn't outside of
the realm of numbers. I'm going to give guys also like, just a little rant right now.
Alright guys, so we just
hopped out of my computer. I just shared with you
guys the concrete numbers, I showed you guys the
revenue and the expenses. So I hope that kind of clears
the proof out of the way, but just to add some
more proof to the mix, I basically want to kind
of rant a little bit about, I think that online, you guys see these titles,
you see these YouTube videos, and you know people saying like, they make a million dollars every month or something like that, you know I mean, like just crazy stuff. And no doubt that there's definitely a lot of money out there and that online business is
very powerful and scalable, especially with the internet, to the point where you can be making five, six, seven figures
per month or per year.
But I want to present
to you an argument that, isn't it kind of strange though how, you know, these people
who say they're making apparently millions in revenue, they don't really have
proof to show for it other than numbers on a computer screen. And to be honest with you guys, like that can be easily doctored, and there's so many
things that go into it, such as profit margin. Revenue versus profit margin. A lot of people they show
these huge numbers for revenue, but what's the profit like? How much money are they
actually taking home? And so for me, what I would rather argue and what I think is actually more proof than showing numbers on that screen is just showing lifestyle.
So for me, I don't do this to brag, I don't do this to boast, I'm really not that type of person, I'm actually very low-key. If anyone knows in real life, you know that I'm not that loud. I'm quiet, like I'm
reserved, I keep to myself, and I don't really, like
I'm not a flashy person. But if you guys just look at my lifestyle, I mean, look at this apartment.
And if you guys look at my car, which you know maybe I'll throw some clips
in here or something. And you know, like, it's
obviously none of this, all this is mine. This isn't like an Airbnb
or something like that, I've been living here for months. My car, I got it off the showroom floor.
Again, I hate to discuss like, I hate to really talk
numbers to be honest, but that's a six-figure car and I threw in five figures
over $10,000 worth of mods within like one month, no joke. So basically, that's what I'm saying is lifestyle it speaks louder the numbers on the screen and revenue and all that. So as for my business model, this is called affiliate marketing. And it's not to be confused
with network marketing, this is affiliate marketing which is a completely
legit thing and not a scam, and I'll show you guys right now if we hop back into my computer.
Guess who has the biggest
affiliate program on the planet? Amazon Associates. Amazon.Com has the
biggest affiliate program. Right here, you can earn
up to 10% advertising fees with a trusted e-commerce leader. So what does all that mean? Basically, if you sell a product
through Amazon Associates, you earn commission that's up
to 10% of the products price.
I actually have a much
longer and lengthier video explaining the basics
of affiliate marketing for anyone who's brand new to the subject and they've never heard of it. Make sure you go check out that video. I'm going to link that in the
description and in this video. It's just called, what
is affiliate marketing and how to get started for beginners.
But yes, so affiliate marketing. It's a hundred percent passive income. And right now I'm just gonna tell you guys the reasons why I think
affiliate marketing is the best online business to start today and why it is better than
Amazon FBA, Dropshipping, stock market trading, any of that. So the first reason is because
it is 100% passive income, and this right here it's
the best reason of all.
So what do I mean by that? So the way it works with
affiliate marketing, is you sell products and
services of other companies. Now the thing is, you don't own any of
these products or services and you don't need to have
any of those products on hand, so immediately, it's zero,
zero expenses for inventory, there's no inventory to
buy, there's nothing to buy. So all you have to do is
promote it, basically. So you promote it and a lot of these products and services are through digital and they're digital products as well, so they have very low overhead.
And you sell one of these things, like let's say I sell
a pair of headphones. And by the way, so my first
affiliate marketing business is recordingnow.Com, which
you guys can check out. It's an affiliate marketing website. I review headphones and other tech gear in the home recording niche and I receive commission for
every single purchase made through my website.
So that right there is a little example of how my affiliate
marketing business works. Now just to get back to the subject. So basically it's a 100% passive income. It's completely passive in the sense that, once you set up this machine, let's say it's content, such as a blog post, a YouTube video, and you put your affiliate link in the description or something.
You can continue to earn money from that same exact
content that let's say it took you four hours
on the Saturday to make, you can continue to make money for months, if not years on end afterwards. Because that video is
gonna keep on selling six months into the future. And if your video gets a lot of views and if it's one of the top videos when someone searches for a review of let's say headphones or something, then you're going to
keep earning commission even long after you've
already put into work. And that's the number one reason why I love affiliate
marketing is passive income.
It gives you time freedom. If you work on nine-to-five or if you're a student
in school or something and you guys just hate being tied down by having a schedule and having to wake up to that alarm clock at
five, 6am in the morning. Trust me, I was there. I used to work the nine-to-five, I had to wake up, I had to
commute every single morning, sit in traffic, it was the worst thing.
But with affiliate marketing, it's giving me the time freedom
to do everything I love. I was able to take a 10 day vacation. I went to Europe, I
went to Dublin, Ireland, I went to Paris, France
and Berlin, Germany 10 days and guess how many hours of work I put in? Zero, a big fat zero. I didn't do anything, guys.
And guess how much money I made? The same amount that I was making when I was back in Chicago. That's the truth. I was making the same amount because everything is automated. I don't really do any day-to-day work.
And that is right there
is the number one reason why affiliate marketing is the
best business in my opinion. I sound like affiliate
marketing's number one fanboy and it's because it's given me just the lifestyle of my dreams and the lifestyle that a lot
of people aspire and want truly because of that 100% passive
income and time freedom. Now the other reason why
affiliate marketing is superior is because extremely low overhead. You don't need inventory, guys.
You can start affiliate
marketing for free, for free 99, zero dollars, and you can't say that
with the other businesses. With something like Amazon, you need to have you
know a thousand, $2000 to even buy the product, and there's no guarantee
that anyone's actually going to buy the product, so you might have to eat
up that inventory cost if your product doesn't go well. Now with affiliate marketing, you're just selling stuff that
people are already buying. If you guys have heard of GoDaddy.
I'm sure you've seen their TV commercials. They have a huge affiliate program. They sell domains and web hosting online. And if you're an affiliate
for GoDaddy, you have a link, if someone signs up through
your link, you can earn...
Now I'm not showing the exact numbers for beginner affiliates, but you can earn you know
anywhere from 40, 60, I think over a hundred dollars depending on the plan
that they sign up with. So, that right there, another example of affiliate marketing. But, yeah, so basically,
there's low expenses but there's very, very
high upside potential. Because the question comes
up with lot of people who are just getting to this is, how much can I earn with
affiliate marketing? Now my answer is, the sky's the limit.
That you can earn... I just showed you guys $45,000
forty in a single week, which is crazy because that's actually how much my former salary
was a year ago in May of 2016 before I got fired from my nine-to-five, I was making $45,000 a year. And I was able to make that in one week just one year after
getting fired from my job. So, again, it's insane, it's crazy, the potential is so limitless, but the actual expenses and the risk is not really that high
to be honest with you.
If you were to start
something like a restaurant or a brick-and-mortar business, you would have to spend thousands of dollars a month in expenses to buy the ingredients, to
pay for the real estate. So yeah, that's basically, those two reasons why
affiliate marketing is superior to any other online
business in my opinion. Anyways, now moving on, let's talk about how I
actually run my business and how I was actually able to
generate such a large income in such a small period of time. So just jump into things,
its affiliate marketing.
Like I said, my first
affiliate marketing website recordingnow.Com, which
we can hop in my computer and you know check it out, and so I can show you guys how it works, how it earns revenue. And then I'll just get
into the more details of how I was able to expand and grow in order to reach a higher income. Alright guys, so we are back
to my computer, round two. This time I'm going to show you guys one of my actual affiliate
marketing businesses.
And I'm gonna walk you step-by-step on how this website generates
revenue, how it earns income, and I'm also going to give
you guys some actual tips for not only how you can get started, but how you can take your business just from being a small let's say, under four figures a month to your first thousand dollars a month, 10K a month and beyond. And one thing I want to say
about the numbers again is, you know just a disclaimer. These results are not typical obviously, I've been doing this for years and this didn't happen overnight. My first year in online
business I made zero dollars, zero, nothing, squat, like, I
did not make anything, guys.
And you know I'm a pretty smart guy, for the most part I'm a pretty
sharp guy, I'm no dummy, but I was researching, trolling forums, watching videos and even with all that it was just trial and error. I mean, there is no... I had no mentor, I had no one to help me get from where I was to
where I wanted to be, so it took me a long time. But I'm hoping that I can change some of your, guys lives and your paths, so that I can cut down that learning curve in half if not less.
So anyways, let's get on with it. Recordingnow.Com as you
guys saw on the headphones, these are V-MODA's. Basically, this is a home
recording niche authority website. What is an authority website? It's a website that people trust.
It's like a brand name that people trust and they respect the opinion of. So, one way that I make
money through this website is through reviews and
specifically headphones. My headphone reviews have received hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, and every single one of
those headphone reviews has affiliate links from Amazon Associates in the description. You guys have seen this before.
If you guys are not new to YouTube. If you've watched a few videos then you guys would know
that Amazon affiliate links are all over YouTube and
not just for tech reviewers but all the big YouTubers. And every time you click
one of those links, they earn money if you purchase
anything within 24 hours. And it doesn't have to
be that exact product, it can be literally anything
else within 24 hours, which is something that a
lot of people don't know, but it's crazy, the
potential that you can have to earn a little extra side income just by posting those links.
So let's go, here's a good one. This is my Bose review. Actually, let's go to my
Audio-Technica review, because that's a great,
great example of how I've been so effective and so successful with affiliate marketing. So if I click this right here, you guys can see this is the article.
It has the YouTube video, which
I'm going to show you guys. Let me just grab my pair. So these are the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, very popular headphone. Let me just click this so we
can go on the YouTube video, just to show you guys it's got over...
Oops. Just to show you guys, it has
over 300,000 views on YouTube. And if I just go open up the new tab... If I open up a new tab, we searched on Google for
M50x, which is that headphone.
Scroll down and what do we see here, guys? It is my video and it's on the first page. And if we scroll, you can
see I'm out ranking websites like BH Photo Video, bestbuy.Com and CNET. CNET's article or review as
you can see came out in 2014, mine came out in 2016, and it was able to surpass
all of those huge brand names by being on the first page. So if you combine those
two things together, high ranking on Google or YouTube, getting lots of views
and then making sales at the end of the day
with affiliate marketing, that is how you're able to generate large amounts of income
through affiliate marketing.
So that right there, this is a real example of an
affiliate marketing website which I own and I've operated for years. Now what happened is, in order to get to higher levels I had to create multiple
affiliated marketing websites. Well, what I did is I went to
other niches and industries that were more profitable
than home recording. Because comparatively home recording is not really a huge money-making niche but it's enough to make a
living if you do it correctly.
And so for me, I just
took the same process. I have a process which is kind of unique. I've had people tell me that my process, like my students, I've
had them tell me that my process is somewhat
innovative and unique, and I never really thought about that way, I was just doing me, you know I mean? Like I was just doing
reviews, putting links, making YouTube videos. But they've told me that my
specific process is unique to affiliate marketing, because a lot of people
teach like the Clickfunnels, they do Facebook Ads to
Clickfunnels landing page, yada yada, and mine's a
little different than that and it's been very effective for me, obviously, as you can see.
But anyways, so if you
guys want to get started, Amazon Associates is
completely free to join. You guys can join here for free, and the thing is, it's free to join but
I have to tell you guys that if you want to get
approved you need to have, I really recommend you have a website. And you want to have that
website to have some content, like a blog or something, and then maybe put in some articles or some reviews like Recording Now. You want to make it looked lived in.
You want to make it look
like it's a legit business that can promote products and services. Because they don't want just anyone spamming Amazon links everywhere, they want to have legit advertisers. So a website is pretty much almost guaranteed
approval into the program. Now I've heard of people getting in with just a YouTube channel.
So if you want to do YouTube for you know, you can do reviews as well or you can do whatever you
want to promote your products. You can do anything in
health, fitness, whatever, you guys can do that as well. So that's basically like a very simple how you get started. Again, I have another video
on what is affiliate marketing and it kind of goes
into this a little more, but basically that's some
of my actionable tips.
I highly recommend that you create, you become an authority in
your industry, in your niche, and that you do stuff like reviews. Simple reviews of products, this can really help to make sales because you're educating your audience on the product that they're
already interested in. If people are watching this, they want to know if
it's worth buying or not. And if you give them enough information and if you recommend the right
products to the right people then that's a sale right there.
You're just connecting
people with the products that are going to enhance
their lives for the better. So again, yeah, it's
a very simple process, but you can do this
with so many industries, so many products and services, and there's so many ways to skin the cat especially with affiliate marketing, which is why it's important to have someone to kind of guide you
and mentor you along the way, or it's gonna take you
a long time, like me. If you just go the trial and error way and just do free information or whatever, it's going to take you a long time, because affiliate
marketing is not the same as the other businesses. Again, it's completely passive income, so that has pros and cons.
Because earning passive income
is extremely hard to build but once it's built it continues and it's generally extremely
solid and consistent from months, if not years on end. Because as you guys can
see I made this in 2016 and it's 2017, it's almost
2018 in a few months and I'm here on the first page of Google. So again, that's basically
the basic process. Your goal with every
single piece of content for affiliate marketing is
to get on the first page of either YouTube or Google, which are the two biggest
search engines in the world, so you can receive that
organic traffic for months if not years to come.
That's how affiliate
marketing is so powerful, and how it's possible to earn
such large amounts of money, because you're able to just
basically create these machines, these systems. So you have your content and then you have the affiliate
link with that content, so the content sells the product and then clicking that affiliate link earns you the commission. So that's a little machine right there. It's like a little
salesman that works 24/7, never sleeps, never eats,
it just keeps grinding, and if you're on the first page you're getting hundreds, if not
thousands of clicks a month, which will result in sales, because at the end of the
day, it's a numbers game.
So, yeah, that wraps it up. So in short, I have
multiple affiliate websites, they all are similar to
this in the sense that I promote products and services, whether it's through reviews, whether it's through
comparisons and whatnot. And I just duplicated the process to other more profitable
niches and industries, and that's basically
how you're able to grow such a large income through
affiliate marketing. All right guys, so the last
thing that I want to show you, for anyone who is serious
about affiliate marketing and you want to use this
as your vehicle to wealth to passive income and basically living the lifestyle of your
dreams as it has given me, then you guys need to check
out my brand new course, which I just released two weeks ago, it's called affiliatemarketingchamp.Com.
And if I just scroll down
I'll share with you guys some of the lessons that
I teach in the course. If you guys enjoyed my
teaching style in this video, if you guys want me as your mentor. I've had so many requests for
people who keep asking me, "What's the best way to get started "with affiliate marketing?" And asking me all these
questions and asking me if, "Can you be my mentor? "Are
you willing to be my mentor "and help me learn it for the marketing?" And the truth is, I
would love to, however, I can't help everyone, because there's just not
enough time in the day and there's only one of me. So I thought that the best
solution is to create a course where I basically explain my process so that you can actually
duplicate that same exact process which I've used.
And you can duplicate that
same process and have someone, a successful established
mentor by your side, that you can contact 24/7 to help you out with any
advice, any feedback, to help you on your
affiliate marketing journey. So some of the lessons in the course, in this video I've already explain why affiliate marketing is the
best online business today. I share examples of successful
affiliate marketing, the real world. So, this is very eye-opening for people, because everyone does affiliate marketing.
Big companies, small
companies, small blogs, individuals, small businesses. Everyone does affiliate
marketing in one form or another and I explained that in this video, so you guys can get some ideas for your affiliate marketing business and what's the best way
to sort of attack it. So after that there's a step-by-step plan on how to start a successful
affiliate marketing business. This is where I teach you guys my process.
This is where I teach you the process I've used for every single one of my affiliate marketing
businesses websites. And you guys are allowed to duplicate that process that I use which is innovative and very effective. After that, I teach the
most profitable niches in the affiliate marketing
which is a huge lesson guys. This is the difference
between making $1,000 a month and $10,000 a month.
I'm not kidding. The niche is extremely important and you want to choose
a money-making niche. You don't want to go, choose a niche where
there's no money in it, because you'll be fighting for scraps. And then one of the lessons I teach is how to rank on the first
page of Google and on YouTube.
I just showed you guys
earlier in the video, I'm ranked on the first
page of Google for this. And the thing is my video and my YouTube are not in that big. My YouTube today has 33,000 subscribers. When I release this video I
probably had less than 20,000.
But there's reviewers out there that have millions of subscribers who have reviewed these headphones, so if I just search M50x on
YouTube, you guys can see, I'm still number two, MKBHD, he has 1.6 Million
views, he's number one. But on Google, which is the biggest
search engine in the world, I'm actually on the first page and no other videos are to be found. So again that's an extremely, extremely, this is a really important lesson guys, this is worth the price
of the course alone. I teach you guys a secret
paid traffic source which I've used and I don't see taught.
I've never seen this taught. But I use this for all of
my affiliate marketing camp to turbocharger the results. And the investment is so small, guys, I'm talking just five
bucks a day to start. After that I also teach how to create an affiliate marketing
website from scratch.
I teach you how to create a website basically the same way that
I made recordingnow.Com I teach you guys how to
get started with that in less than an hour. It's super easy, anyone can do it. And then lastly, I teach a little Facebook
Ads for affiliate marketing, and then my top five mistakes
with affiliate marketing that I wish I knew when I got started would save me months if not years of frustration and failure. Now, these are the lessons that
are in the course right now, it's completely comprehensive.
But the good news is I'm
adding new lessons right now. I'm actually working on a few lessons such as the ClickFunnels, Facebook advertising,
that ClickFunnels method, and a whole bunch of
other value-packed lessons that are on the way right now. But as it stands, this course is worth every
single penny and more. And you know I wouldn't just say that if I didn't believe it.
I wouldn't release a product
that I wasn't a 100% behind. I mean that, guys. You can take my word for that. And this course is just, I've gotten feedback
from students who've said to raise the price, to double
the price of the course, and that it's worth that.
And I just can't believe it. I'm so thankful for all
my students right now who are in the course. So awesome. I'm really here for you guys and I just want to kill it and create more affiliate
marketing champs.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Please thumbs up, comment. You know leave a comment,
anything, let's talk. I'm really trying to help people and I love talking to people, and if you have any questions
I'm happy to answer them.
I'm an open book, I'm happy to help. Again, ODi Productions. On Instagram make sure you
follow me @odi_productions. If you guys want to DM me
more private questions, or if you guys just want to see more pictures of the car or whatever, I make some really cool
interesting post on that.
So anyways, that wraps up this video. It's kind of a long one, but this is a very important video. I hope I was able to inspire or motivate some of you guys today. And I'll catch you guys on the next one.
Peace. Oh, and one last thing I
wanted to mention is that for a limited time since
the course is brand new I'm actually having a promotional discount from the link in the description. The coupon code is already applied, but I'm only gonna be
running this promotion for a limited time. So you guys really need to join the course if you are serious about this then this is a good way to save some money but at the same time get
so much value in return.
So definitely make sure you
hit the promo code below, if you guys are interested
in taking advantage of that discount. Peace..
