Hey everyone!
I’m kicking off a new journey today, and I want you all to follow along with me. For a while, I had some YouTube videos promoting ClickBank offers—but honestly, the sales trickled in so slowly I was barely making a dent. A few sales per year just isn’t going to pay the bills or fuel my goals.
So now, I’m committing to a fresh approach, putting in the work with clear focus and daily discipline. My mission? To create consistent monthly income by combining YouTube with affiliate programs like ClickBank and ShareASale.
Here’s the plan:
1. Laser-focused niche and keyword research
I’m not winging it. I’m digging deep to find low-competition, high-potential keywords using tools like Google Keyword Planner and SerpStat. For YouTube-specific insights, I rely on the free versions of VidIQ and TubeBuddy. These help me figure out what people are searching for and how to optimize my videos to get seen.
2. Creating volume content — two videos every single day
I’m splitting my efforts across two YouTube channels. Each day, I’ll post two videos—each one zeroed in on a specific product from ClickBank or ShareASale. These videos will be reviews, tutorials, or straightforward explanations designed to engage viewers ready to buy.
3. Product-first content that converts
Instead of generic topics, every video is about ONE product. I want to showcase what the product does, why it matters, and how it can solve real problems. This sharp focus helps turn curious viewers into buyers.
4. Tracking, testing, and tweaking relentlessly
I’m prepared to learn on the go. Not every video will be a hit, but I’ll be tracking views, watch time, click-through rates, and sales. I’ll adjust my keywords, video style, and promotion based on what the data tells me.
5. Patience and persistence
I know this won’t be an overnight success story. I’m ready for the grind, putting in consistent effort while waiting for YouTube’s algorithm and my audience to catch up. The goal is sustainable, long-term growth.
Why share all this?
This thread will be my open diary to document everything: successes, struggles, surprises, and lessons learned. If you’ve tried combining YouTube with affiliate marketing, I’d love your tips. If you’re curious about how this plays out, stick around and see what happens.
My dream is to flip those rare yearly sales into steady monthly commissions—and show you the process step-by-step.
Expect updates on how many videos I’ve published, traffic stats, affiliate clicks, and, of course, income reports.
Let’s get to work and see where this journey takes us!
