  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



About Josée:  Josée is a former rural mail carrier turned multiple 6-figure affiliate marketer. Over the last 5 years, she has refined her approach to affiliate marketing to be as fast and efficient as possible. Now she shares her Best Secrets with you.



Hi, My name is Josée Bédard, I am a product/content creator, funnel designer, and affiliate marketer. I am from a small town 30 minutes east of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I've spent the past 8 years learning everything there is to know about Affiliate Marketing, Creating Products and Launching Products. I have learned from the Best Marketers on the Planet.



The methods outlined in this book have been responsible for the most important actionable information you need in order to be successful with no B.S. My main goal was to produce a fail-proof affiliate marketing blueprint, not just a guide or ebook. It's all broken down into a step-by-step process that will guide you every step of the way.



Without it, you'll waste your time with spending months trying to figure it all out guessing how to get your golden ticket into making a full-time     3 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



income online without the cost or the hassle and then wondering where it all went wrong.



With it, you'll eliminate all the guesswork and will never again waste time or money in your pursuit towards Affiliate Marketing. I made it impossible for you to fail! Use and enjoy!



It didn’t start out as smooth as I would have wanted to. I had huge struggles, I had just been fired from my job as a mail carrier…



This is me when I was a rural mail carrier.

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



I had bills piling up and needed money fast, so I tried everything in the book, all those MLM (which I am not going to name here) B.S. and scams that promise you the freedom, everybody is making $1,000 a day and $100,000 monthly etc… I just want to let you know in advance, I am not a guru, or am not in the get rich quick methods. I just make a living online working from home, I don’t drive a fancy car, nor do I have a mansion…. This is my story, I am being transparent and telling exactly the way it is. First of all, if I did it, you can do it too.



I have tried everything, and never made any money at all, I struggled so bad, I thought this business wasn’t for me, but do you want to know where I was the most successful earning



💰 money online, well it’s with



Digital Info Products and Affiliate Marketing.

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Then, I started creating and selling Wordpress Themes and Plugins on WarriorPlus and JVZoo. Both are digital product platforms for buying and selling products related to online business. I have sold over 21,000 Products of my own on WarriorPlus and Over 8,000 on JVZoo. I am also in the top 3% on JVZoo with over 11,000 ++ sales. I am an Elite Vendor on WarriorPlus with 9 Deal of the Day. The "Deal of the Day" is a special feature from WarriorPlus that is designed to give special attention to the best products for sale on the WarriorPlus Marketplace.



To make some money while working on my other WP Themes to come out. I started to do affiliate marketing. I would become JV partners to other products on Warrior and JVZoo to help me pay the bills while I was working on my next Wordpress projects. I would send an offer to my list that had bought WP themes from me and I would see a few hundred dollars, sometimes a thousand come in every time I would do it. So this led me to love ❤ affiliate marketing.



So this is how I got into affiliate marketing. I started to love it because I didn’t have to answer any support, I was making money



💰. After a few



years selling WP Themes, they were starting to die down, it seemed as the trend wasn’t there anymore and I started creating make money online courses, and how to create your own course, how to get your



    6 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



digital agency off the ground, and a few more. See the only problem I had was my list of buyers were WP Theme lovers, they were not interested in “how to create a course,” Why am I telling you this, well it’s to make sure that you pick the right niche and stay within the same niche. Don’t get me wrong creating and selling WP theme was an awesome business and I did very successfully for a couple of years and made multiple 6 figures with it for the past 5 years.



Then like everybody in my industry PayPal shut down my account after being with them for 20 years at least, saying I was violating their terms… they started shutting down every marketer around the digital world on jvzoo and warriorplus. Now there wasn’t a way that I could collect any money anymore… because all payments were coming from PayPal. Bummer no PayPal === NO MONEY...WTF was I going to do… Then warriorplus CEO Mike Landz had already thought about that and he had a wallet that no one was barely using and everybody was able to collect from Stripe. Thank God, I could continue to collect payments again.



It is very important to have multiple streams of income and not have all your eggs in the same basket. I did tons of research day and night to work on a system that would give me money even if I was sick so I

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



didn’t have to slave day and night. This is when I came up with this system that would automate everything and bring me residual income month after month. I made a business plan to focus on 1 platform and 1 product. I have perfected my system and I finally I understood what I was supposed to do. I reversed engineer every guru, everyone that was successful in my niche and finally it dawned on me what I was doing wrong all these years. I had an epiphany and tons of HAHA moments. Wow, I was shocked at what I was doing wrong all these years. What finally opened my eyes was the ​OFA 30 day challenge​.



    8 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



It literally changed my life, it’s the best thing I could have done for my business. It helped me to focus and showed me the right direction I needed for my business. If you don’t know what the OFA 30 day challenge is well it’s one funnel challenge (OFA), it shows you step by step with coaches how to launch your first funnel from scratch. You are probably saying “what” launching a funnel for your business is the most important task that needs to be done when launching a business, it doesn’t matter what niche you are in.



Here’s how it works: Each day of the One Funnel Away Challenge, you’ll be given tasks that you’ll need to complete in order to get your funnel built and LIVE. The Challenge Workbook acts as your companion to the video training (Day 1 through Day 30). Inside your workbook, you’ll find pages that correspond with EACH day of the Challenge. And you will get to join the One funnel away VIP Facebook Group that will give you videos every day showing you what to do. You are going to be Led by Trainer Russell Brunson and Coaches Stephen Larsen and Julie Stoian, the ‘One Funnel Away’ Challenge is designed to help you Customize and IMPLEMENT your plan in just 30 days… And that is how I design my business plan. I couldn’t believe everything they gave for $100 + You are getting physical Products.

Take an example if you go live on facebook or you make a video on Instagram well the next day or next week it’s gone you won’t be able to find it anymore. But Youtube you will be able to rank higher and it could potentially rank even on google. Youtube is the second-best search engine on the internet because it’s owned by Google. Are you seeing the potential here with youtube? I’m sure you are and this is why you have to make youtube videos every day to grow your channel.

Watch the Video - Step 1: going deep in picking a niche:



    17 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Step 1: Choosing Your  Niche   



Your niche (pronounced “neesh”) is your topic. This dictates the type of affiliate products you promote (we’ll cover how to find products in step 2)?



Your niche should be in line with a passion or interest of yours. It is important that you resist the temptation to go after something because it “seems like a profitable idea.”



For instance, let’s talk about a trend that took off a while back. Intermittent Fasting. It seemed like everyone was talking about this approach to weight loss. And since there is always plenty of money to be made in the weight loss industry, perhaps this would be a good niche. However, if you are not passionate about intermittent fasting then it is going to be difficult to become a leader in the intermittent fasting niche (more on why this is important in just a second) therefore, you are most likely not going to see the success you had hoped for.



    18 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



However, if you are passionate about sharing the benefits of natural remedies, then this would be an opportunity worth exploring. It is a subcategory of one of the ​3 Evergreen Niches​, and your passion for the topic will keep you motivated as you build your web of influence.  



3 EVERGREEN NICHES  The 3 Evergreen Niches are the categories with the highest earning potential. They are Health, Wealth and Love/Relationships.



Health, Wealth and Love are important to us on an emotional level. And as a result, when something is not to our liking within one of these areas, we are willing to spend money and take action to rectify the situation.



For example: If you and your spouse/significant other/partner were fighting a lot. Yet deep down you really loved each other and wanted to stay together. Then you would be highly likely to search for a solution. This could involve purchasing a program designed to help you overcome your struggles.



    19 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



🔑 ​And this is the key. Even though most affiliate marketing takes



place online, ​Money Still Comes From Other People​.



The same can be true for couples looking to spice it up. Or parents who are having trouble with their children (i.e. behavioral issues).



The wealth niche could be investing, real estate flipping, selling on Amazon, etc. The health niche could be “how to lose weight” or “how to each healthy.” IMPORTANT: ​It’s important to remember to follow your passion or interest. If things go well, you will become a leader in your space and continue to profit for many years. Too many marketers burn themselves out because they chased the money instead of followed their passion. ​Remember:​ You can become whoever you want to be. Everyone loves a transformational journey. This is a great way to build an audience.

Step 2: Finding Affiliate  Products  After you decide that affiliate marketing is the smart way to go, you have to find products to promote.

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



💡If you have a product in mind, one of the easiest ways to see if they have an affiliate program is to scroll down to the bottom of their home page. Often times this is where you will find a link to their affiliate sign up page and commission structure.



POPULAR AFFILIATE  PROGRAMS  AMAZON Many people do not realize that Amazon (that’s right, the world’s largest eCommerce retailer) has an affiliate program.



   



As you can see in the United States version of their home page. Down at the bottom, you will find the link to become an affiliate. Once again, this is free to join. After approval, you have the opportunity to earn up

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Step 3: Earn Big  Commissions  In general, it is much easier to earn One $1000 commission than it is to earn One Hundred $10 commissions. The problem for most beginners is that it takes a lot more skill, experience and technique to sell a product that will earn a $1000 commission than it does to sell a product that will earn you a $10 commission. That’s why beginners should partner with companies that have a proven ​“Value Ladder.”  



BIG COMMISSION SECRET:   THE VALUE LADDER 



      26 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



The Value Ladder is the affiliate marketer’s secret to massive earnings. Typically, you (the affiliate) will promote a low-ticket entry product. In some cases, it could actually be free. These low-ticket products can sometimes be referred to as “Trip-Wire Offers.” Examples include: ● Free Trial ● Low Monthly Membership Fee ● Free + Shipping Book



This allows the affiliate to more easily get customers into their partners’ pipeline. Once that first “Trip-Wire Offer” is set, that customer is then attributed to your earnings for life. This means that if they purchase a $2000 product 6 months from now, you still earn the $1000 commission (assuming a 50% commission structure.)



When you join an affiliate partner with a proven Value Ladder, you leverage the capability and experience of professional marketers with a sizeable advertising budget.



Let’s take a look at 2 programs you can start promoting today, that have lucrative value ladders.

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



CLICKFUNNELS ClickFunnels​ has numerous affiliate marketing opportunities, however, in the following example you can see how giving a book away for free can earn you $967 in total commissions.



 



As an affiliate, you simply promote the ​Dotcom Secrets book​. This book is a tremendous resource that you can feel great about recommending. Plus it’s free (buyers simply have to pay for Shipping) so it converts at a high rate. Then ClickFunnels will follow with upsells and back end offers. All of which earn you a 20-40% commission. This is without a doubt, one of the best ways for beginners to start earning big commissions fast. ☝Get Your Copy of Dotcom Secrets​

Let’s take a quick look at the earning potential with Legendary Marketer:



 



As you can see, massive potential. If one of your referrals purchases a ticket to the Entrepreneur Mastermind, that earns you a ​$4,800.00 commission​.



    29 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Remember, it takes a lot of time and resources to build out a value ladder of this magnitude. Yet, in partnering with a company like Legendary Marketer​, you can instantly leverage: ● Their back end sales processes ● Their phone sales team ● Their product line ● Their years of experience closing sales



At first glance, Legendary Marketer might seem like another affiliate MLM scheme. But It’s NOT… You take courses on online businesses and affiliate marketing, you then sell those courses to others. Legendary Marketer is an Online Marketing Education, delivered Simply And With Integrity. You don’t have to bug your friends and family (more on that in the next section). Allow me to explain.



Legendary Marketer Mission is: To Help People Start An Online Business Or Grow An Existing Business Using Cutting Edge Sales, Marketing and Management Strategies.

  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Meet The Founder of  Legendary Marketer 



Leading the charge as CEO of Legendary Marketer is Dave Sharpe. A 9-year digital marketing vet who has founded 3 multi-million dollar companies from scratch, generated over a quarter-billion in sales online and educated over 500,000 entrepreneurs worldwide. He’s been featured on Entrepreneur.com and was quoted by Forbes as “one of the masterminds of this industry.”



    31 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



When you ​join Legendary Marketer,​ you learn how to promote Legendary Marketer. This can benefit you in 3 ways….



First: Clarity.​ A lot of times when you sign up to promote an affiliate offer, the affiliate partners will give you tools. But they will generally rely on the affiliates to “figure out how to connect the dots.” This may be because a good affiliate who knows what he/she is doing can drive more traffic than 10,000 beginners. With Legendary Marketer, they focus on teaching you the system that allows you to earn commissions. This brings us to benefit #2… Second: Earn While You Learn. ​ You can absolutely hit the ground running. As a matter of fact, in some cases, brand new affiliates are able to implement the system and earn their first commissions in 15 days or less. And once you earn that first commission, that brings up benefit #3…



Third: Self Validating System.​ When you recommend a product that you use, you become a trusted ambassador for that product and people are likely to trust your recommendation. Think of it like this:



    32 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



Let’s say you see an advertisement for a new restaurant in town. It might catch your attention. It might peak your interest. But restaurant advertising is nothing new. As a result, you may visit the restaurant, or you may not. However, if someone you know says ​“Oh my gosh. We went to this new restaurant last night. It was so good, you have to go.” T​ hen there is probably a high likelihood that you will try that restaurant out. The restaurant's worth has been validated.



This is the exact same way Legendary Marketer works. If you can say that you earned your first-ever dollar online with ​Legendary Marketer​, then other beginners are going to be highly likely to join Legendary Marketer. And when they do, you earn another commission...and the snowball effect kicks in.

Watch the Video - Step 4: Getting Traffic:



Step 4: Getting Traffic Traffic (people clicking on your links) is obviously one of the key components of affiliate marketing. There are two types of traffic in the digital marketing world. ● Paid Traffic (e.g. Facebook Ads) ● Free Traffic (Also referred to as Organic Traffic) Each has its pros and cons. Let’s dive in…



 



    34 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



PAID TRAFFIC  Paid traffic has two main advantages over organic traffic. Paid traffic is fast and controllable. If you have an offer that you wish to promote on Facebook, simply pay for the advertising and choose your target market. You can almost instantly get your offer in front of as many people as your budget will allow. If a campaign is profitable, scale-up. If not, turn it off.



The Challenges of Paid Traffic with Affiliate Marketing There are two factors that make it difficult for beginners to use paid traffic in their affiliate marketing efforts. Unfortunately, some “gurus” in the space will tell you otherwise (in hopes of selling a course probably) because paid traffic sounds easier.



In reality, paid traffic only works for the best affiliate marketers. And there is a perfectly logical reason for this. Advertising is sold on an auction basis (meaning the space goes to the highest bidder) and everyone has access to the same affiliate products. So in theory, the profit margins will ​always​ go to zero. Only those with complex funnels & systems will earn the competitive advantage necessary to make this model profitable.



    35 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



And reason #2 affiliate marketing beginners will struggle with paid traffic is the payout schedule. Let me explain…



If you are selling a product where you take the payments, then you receive that money almost instantly. Let’s say that today you spend $100 on ads to make $200 back. That means tomorrow you can spend $200 to make $400...etc.



With affiliate marketing, commissions are often held for 30 days. So if you are able to spend $100 today to earn $200 in commissions, that’s great. However, with the affiliate model, you can not immediately re-invest those earnings. As a result, it is very difficult for beginners to sustain long enough to make this model work. For this reason, the best method for beginners is…  



ORGANIC TRAFFIC  You may have heard of a number of ways you can generate free organic traffic. Instagram and blogging are two examples of ways people make money with affiliate marketing using organic traffic. However, hands down, the three best organic traffic sources are… ● YouTube ● Facebook Groups



    36 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



● Quora



YouTube is king.​



👑 Everything else is secondary. Your first reaction



might be “YouTube is too hard.” In reality, the opposite is true. Here is why.



The most important thing to remember about YouTube is that YouTube is the second largest search engine (only trailing Google). Because of the “Discovery” nature inherent to search engines, beginners have just as much of a chance at “ranking” as established channels. Now, it would be foolish to think that established channels with huge followings and authority don’t have an advantage. However, with the right combination of content and keywords, it is 100% possible for a new channel to rank well and rank fast. And the result of ranking on YouTube is floods of highly targeted traffic. One “highly ranked” video can change your life.



And this is why YouTube holds such an advantage over “Blogging.” Google is more established. Ranking can take months or even years. On YouTube, videos can rank within hours.



    37 



  AFFILIATE MARKETING | THE ULTIMATE BLUEPRINT TO FREEDOM



The second reason YouTube is great for beginners: ​It automatically leverages your #1 competitive advantage.



When you boil it down, YouTube only cares about user experience and watch time. They don’t play favorites. This can benefit you because as long as you upload consistent content, YouTube will work hard to find your audience for you.



Think of it like this. Let’s say you and I both are good at making Cupcakes. As a matter of fact, if we each made a batch of 12 cupcakes and put them to a group for a blind taste test, there would be no clear winner. It’s safe to say we are equal in our ability to make cupcakes.



Yet in that blind taste test, 6 people would prefer your cupcakes. And the other 6 would prefer my cupcakes. Neither one is necessarily better, it just comes down to a matter of preference. This is exactly how YouTube works. Your audience is out there waiting for your unique view and approach.



The Best Way To Leverage YouTube

The best strategy for growing your YouTube channel fast is to either educate or motivate. Both strategies crush it in affiliate marketing. Let’s look at 2 specific examples.



💡A great way to educate on YouTube is to create “How To” videos or Tutorials. This can be anything from how to brew beer or how to make money with Airbnb to how to create the perfect smokey eye. Remember, YouTube is a search engine. And I always like to say that YouTube is the search engine people use to find solutions. Where Google is the search engine people use to settle a bet or find a restaurant. When people are looking for solutions, this is where the money is made.



💪Motivation also works well. People love to be motivated or inspired. Think about the weight loss or personal development niche. If you have the ability to inspire people to take action, you will never run out of affiliate product opportunities.



As you continue to create content, focus on growing your brand, building your audience, and providing value. This will future proof your business and bring about exponential increases to your income.

The best Free traffic you can have is building an email list. I will show you and even give you templates, landing page so you can start building your list. Like they say the money is in the list, not sure if you have heard this expression. This is the best source of passive income ever. You control your list and can send them an email whenever you want with a product offer and earn money selling them an offer. Statistics say that for every email subscriber you have, you can earn $1 from them per month, so let's say you have an email list of 10,000 that would mean at least $10,000 you could earn monthly. But keep in mind that you have to at least send promotions and offers to your list and make sure that you constantly give them value. So kind of 3 days of value and then do a soft pitch… a couple of days of value then pitch again. Don’t pitch every day. Give them value and value and more value…You will be able to market to this list forever unless they unsubscribed to you. This is the best free traffic that you can control and this is why the first thing you need to do is build your list. Don’t worry I will give you a done for you system and templates that you can use. I will show you and teach you how to do it the right way. Not a lot of marketers show you the exact steps on how to do it. Some forget tiny things to show you which in the end doesn’t give you results.

I want to show you how simple it is with my roadmap to work from anywhere in the world. The old way is out now, no need to trade time for money anymore.



As an affiliate marketer, you will work as the middleman. You want to also create multiple streams of income. You do not need to reinvent the wheel here, Just keep it simple. As an affiliate marketer, you want to have cash flow coming in all the time from different sources to different products.



In the marketing world, the traffic that you don’t control, like FB, Youtube videos, SEO, blogs, this comes from organic traffic, from your ranking videos on youtube. The second one is the traffic that you control, it comes from facebook ads, youtube ads, any paid ads that you are paying for leads, conversion. But the best traffic that you can control and have full control is your list, people you have collected their names from landing pages in exchange for a mini-course or ebook. This is the best traffic that you can ever get.



So you want to take this traffic and bring it to your landing page or bridge page, which is going to be a low cost offer, could be $7. What you want to achieve here is that you want to collect these leads and

then send them to a lower-cost offer and if they buy from you, you are going to break even with your funnel, you can always add an OTO also known as an upsell in this funnel. This is called a break-even funnel.



When they optin your list and put their email address, they are now a subscriber and you can market to them with higher tickets. This is why they say the money is in the list. This is your biggest asset as an online marketer because you will be able to sell them over and over again.



See the key



🔑 here is to break even with that funnel so it pays for your



advertising.



Then simply nurture that list, this new subscribers with email sequence, giving them value and into higher ticket offers.



Once you have a subscribers email address you are always going to have them on your list and that is free customer and traffic for life, unless they unsubscribed from your list.



This email list is yours, you own it, that is the beauty of it, it will reward you for years to come.
