Transcript
Sweet. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for coming to our affiliate marketing webinar. I did this uh gosh about a year ago and it was so wellreceived uh that people have been asking me to do another one. So, uh if you don't know who I am, my name is Austin Armstrong. I am the CEO and one of the co-founders of Syllabi. Uh I've also been doing affiliate marketing for about 12 years. I personally make about $30 to $40,000 a month in recurring affiliate marketing revenue.
Um, it pays for most of my bills. Uh, and uh, and allows me to have a a great lifestyle. It is passive, which I love about it as well. Now, not to say that it is not consistent work to get to that point because it very much needs to continue to compound, but I can stop and uh like promoting for weeks, months, whatever, and it will still continue to grow. I think affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online, hard stop.
There's a lot of misconceptions about it, though. So, what affiliate marketing is, and let's let's start there because a lot of people have this misconception that it's like a pyramid scheme or uh multi-level marketing or something like that. It's fundamentally not. It's just commission based sales. If you think about you go to a car dealership and there's a you talking to a person uh that helps you buy that car, they get a commission on the sale price.
That's what affiliate marketing is. You act as the salesperson on behalf of a product or a service or a company and you get a commission of that sale. Now, sometimes it's a one-off sale. Amazon, for instance, is probably the most popular and most famous affiliate marketing program in the world. Anybody can sign up and be an affiliate on Amazon. Those are one-time commissions, though. So, you have an uh Amazon affiliate link.
They click on it to that product uh and they make a purchase of the deodorant or you know whatever thingamajig widget, you get about a 4% commission one time. That is not the type of affiliate uh marketing sales that I like to do nor will of what I will be teaching you today because I like recurring. In the Amazon model, you have to continue to get new buyers every single time. When you get somebody in AI or software subscription to sign up, you get a recurring commission.
You get one person to sign up and as long as they continue to pay for that service, you get a commission every single month. And this is where it can continue to compound because depending on the software, they have different life uh lifespans, but most people stay subscribed to software for five, six months, maybe a year. I've been subscribed to Canva for like eight years. If I signed up through someone's affiliate program for Canva, they got eight years of commissions on me.
Uh and same thing with with all uh software tools. So, it it just continues uh to compound. So, let me share my screen here and I'm just going to this is kind of going to be a little uh in informal. Um, feel free to ask questions throughout and uh let's let's do this Jiao. Um, if you want to field any important questions as I'm I'm going through this, feel free to just pop in here and uh if I need to clarify or anything um I'm happy to do that.
I just want this to be uh genuinely helpful for you guys. So, bunch of tabs here. This is what uh your affiliate program is essentially going to uh look like when you sign up for an affiliate program. Uh and and uh most you'll you'll see that on the bottom of websites. I'm going to get into that a little bit, but like on syllabi, for instance, this is our website. You scroll down to the bottom, you're going to see this affiliate program link.
That's going to take you to a sign up uh process and um and you get either manually uh approved or automatically approved. When you get approved, it's going to be a dashboard like this. So, this is my back-end dashboard for go highle the CRM and uh you get a bunch of links. So, these are how they track and associate sales to you. This is the most important part here. And so you can see that uh I've driven you know through some of these links um almost 26,000 uh people have clicked it,300 people have signed up.
Uh it's generated uh 48 paying customers and um this month I'll make $675 from them. Uh they've paid me a total of uh $6185. Um, and they were it tracks all of them. And what did I wanted to show you? Payouts. Yeah. So, sometimes they they vary as well here, right? So, like when I was just getting started, it low and then it it builds and sometimes you get really really nice months. Um, you know, this was a nice month, 1700, and it just continues to uh to build.
And I'm an affiliate for like 60 different tools. So, you really want to, you know, in my niche, a lot of you guys have seen my content. I talk about AI tools and um uh useful AI or software websites for business owners or entrepreneurs. Use these tools to help you with X Y and Z. Maybe you've seen my series of uh chat GPT secrets that you should know and it and it either is just a chat GPT tutorial or um it segus into another tool or the series of videos of these five websites uh feel illegal to know.
You know, a lot of those tools I'm actually an affiliate for. I know that that type of content works really well. there are ways to sort of trigger the um uh um algorithms uh particularly many chat um to automate a lot of this. I'll get into that a little bit later, but these back-end dashboards are what is going to help you uh keep track of all of your um commissions. And there's a lot of these platforms out there. So, this is built on first promoter.
This is also what we use at syllabi. Um, there's also rewardful.com. There's uh I think it's actually getrewardful.com. There's impact.com. Uh, there's there's quite a few. I'm going to highlight my buddies uh and uh Andereo here in a sec as well. But, you know, we really know affiliate marketing from the inside and out. As an affiliate marketer, I wanted to make sure that we had a great affiliate program at Syllabi, too.
And so anybody can sign up right now and be in a a syllabi affiliate. It's actually one of the best ways that um people are able to monetize on social media using syllabi. So you know faceless videos in general, I'm just going to put it out there. You can absolutely monetize them on YouTube. I don't care what headline that you've read. That's a a misconstrued um uh rumor and headline from a policy update that was already uh in intact.
Uh the purpose of all that, I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole. You can absolutely monetize uh faceless videos, but it takes time. It it takes a lot of time to get the watchtime hours on it, but you can start monetizing your social media immediately from affiliate marketing. It's just leveraging the attention on any of these platforms and driving traffics and signups to a particular sale. I'm going to show you later in this video how you can actually do this inside syllabi as well because we've made it really easy to just automate content creation at scale and help you get affiliate commissions.
But this is just a transparent of our backend. So, you know, our affiliate program has generated a lot of money uh 1.6 $.6 million and we've paid out a lot of money as well. Uh we've paid out, you know, about uh $150,000 uh to to affiliates. Um and this is recurring basis. So, if you'd like to be a syllabi affiliate, uh let us know. We'll we'll we'll get you set up um there. Now, how do you find affiliate programs as as well?
There's a couple ways to do this. One of my favorite new ways is this is my buddy um uh uh Rene's Renee Remick. If anyone knows Renee, he built this amazing two-sided marketplace and I think it's actually really brilliant what he did. Those platforms that I mentioned before like First Promoter and Rewardful and Impact, it's really only for managing the back-end affiliate program. what he did is create the marketplace and the back end.
So, you can host your affiliate um on here uh and and get signups and and whatnot, but you can also find affiliate programs on here too and the amount of commissions that they have. So, you can explore this SAS affiliate platform and let me I'm going to put this in the in the chat for you guys here. This is a great way. Um, yeah, looking at it like Offer Labs is a is a pretty good um comparison. Uh, Offer Labs is more around products and digital products to sell, but it is very much a two-sided marketplace as well. and you can kind of build uh funnel landing pages and stack offers and collaborate together and stuff.
I think OfferLab's a fantastic platform, but uh this is just a little bit different. Uh but there's a lot now. This is a newer newer platform, but this is essentially 50 uh approximately 50 different tools that you can sign up for and be an affiliate for. And you can see the commissions here. So, like, you know, maybe I don't want to do a 10% commission cuz that's a little low. But this one right here, 60% commissions.
That's fantastic. That means I get 60% of the subscription price every single month. And some of these are pretty good. So, like on Sylli, for instance, our top plan is $153 per month. We have a a 30% recurring commission for life. So, you get somebody to sign up for for one of those plans, that's $50 uh a month per person for life that they continue to to sign up and pay. And that's why affiliate commissions can really stack up.
That's why I do uh software like this. Now, if you want to uh cheat and see all of the tools that I'm an affiliate for as well, I'll put this link in the chat for you, too. So, a lot of these tools. Oh, is the 60% not recurring? Maybe it's not. Maybe it's Maybe it's one off. Let me see. Oh, yeah. Cuz there's no wreck there. That's a good catch. I didn't see that. So, some of these Yeah, 60% oneoff. So, a lot of these are recurring.
Okay. So, maybe not that one, but maybe we do this 50% recurring uh commission, for example. But this list is most of the tools that I am actively an affiliate for. So, uh I'm a big affiliate for Ranked AI. Ranked pays me a ton of money. Uh high level, which I showed you. Some of these are my own uh micro sash tools that I vibe coded. I own Threadmaster and Scripttorm. Uh Replid and Manis and you know, all of these are are kind of affiliate links, right? all this ta.com/via equals Austin these are all uh affiliate links or these this bit.ly link here.
You know, these are all trackable uh affiliate links and uh I'll promote different content at different times and I'll also funnel them all into this list as well. And uh and that's how I can really build a long-term sustainable funnel uh to grow my um affiliate marketing revenue. So, let's talk about some of the content strategies as as well here. And if I'm moving too fast, just let me know what questions you guys have.
Do you have to use the software with all of them in order to be an affiliate? No. Great question. So, um, yeah, some like Jay point, some do, some don't. So, sell by you don't. For instance, uh, I I would say most of them, no, you don't have to actually be a subscriber. Some of them in order to access the affiliate area, you need to be a subscriber. So for instance, I think I think it's in let me double check here. I think Replet oops is inside.
Yeah. So I'm logged in and they have this refer and earn and this is where you get your affiliate link here. And so like you know with Replet I've earned $160 in uh in free build credits. Um, they can also offer a lot of uh incentives and and stuff. Let me just I'm just curious here more than anything. If if I log out, I want to see if they can if they have their affiliate program. See, partnerships. Yeah, it doesn't look like they have.
Yeah. So, this is a good example of one that you probably you need to have an account for in order to access it, but uh most of the other ones like syllabi for instance, they'll have links down in the the footer section. Um like affiliate program or referral program or something like that. Um I'm trying to think of another one. Um like Submagic. Submagic I think. Let's get one. Yeah, so Magic I think is another one that you don't need to just to show you another example see affiliates, right?
So they have this affiliate tab and you would go there and then they have some sort of landing page that shows you um info about it and then you can sign up and and become an affiliate and then you would so theirs is on first promoter as well and so you would just go through this sign up process and and sign up. But yeah, that's a that's a great question of uh sometimes you need to be a subscriber, sometimes you you don't need to be a subscriber.
You can just sign up for free. It's also why I love affiliate marketing is it's it's basically just free money if you're able to sell. And so once you actually have your affiliate programs that you're signed up for, how do you sell it? What type of content do you create? Well, this is what I'm doing actively. So, there's quite a few different things that I'm doing on Facebook. I will do list posts like this. Sometimes these perform a little bit better than others.
This was 6 hours ago. Uh, this is an affiliate link. Some of these tools I own. Um, and then what was another one? Hey, by the way, there's Jay. I saw Jay in the chat. Go watch this interview, y'all. Shout out to Jay. [clears throat] Um, where was this? I think so. This is another thing. Okay, this go this so this is a very underutilized strategy that nobody seems to do and it's just such a a quick simple fix. So if you have any sort of audience on social media, whether it's Facebook, LinkedIn, X, any platform or threads, any platform that has a comment section in every post, every single post that you do, as long as it makes sense, just put a copy and paste to an affiliate link or some sort of call to action because everybody runs to the comment section.
It's just free exposure. the post could have nothing to do with it whatsoever and you'll just get a small trickle every single time. So on like my actual workflow for this is on my phone because most of the content that I create is on my phone. I have a a a doc folder and this is just my my CTAs. If you can see I'll try and put this up here. is just my CTAs. And all of these are different call to actions to different affiliate links or different offers or different signups, different levels in the funnel.
And so I'll just kind of depending on the post go through this depending on what I'm pushing and every single post and I post a lot. I post like 20 times a day on Facebook. I'll just sneak one of these posts in. Sometimes it's an affiliate link, sometimes it's into this funnel. Now, other content that really works as well, I'll come back to this funnel, uh, cuz I want to highlight this point, is obviously video content as well.
And one of the things that I like to do with this is use a tool like ManyHat. Now, Many Chat only really works for Instagram uh pages and Facebook business pages, not personal profiles. They also, I think, work somewhat on Tik Tok, but it's like a little funky. So, I I I don't know. I mainly use it for Instagram. And what you'll see is if you have a call to action uh yeah list. So if you have a call to action in your actual video and in the description of the video, people will leave a comment on it.
So list, oops, list, list list, list list, list list, etc. What that does is it automatically sends a comment trigger, uh, an automatic DM. I'll show you how to set this up, too, cuz I I I love this. It's such a hack. Um, but I have all of these auto comment triggers listed in here. So, for instance, this one I set up recently, and anytime that someone leaves a comment with the word maverick in this case or mavericks, it responds to their comments with one of these posts.
So, it rotates it so it looks natural. And then they'll get a direct message with a caption or a a message and a direct link. And you can do this to anything. So this goes to um my paid online community. But I can see that this and I can see who clicked on it as well. But I can see that uh since I launched this one, 156 people have commented Maverick or Mavericks and 80 people have clicked on that post from the DM, which is a 50% um 51% click-through rate.
Now, not everybody is going to s uh sign up, but it's just a volume game. And if you don't have any audience, this is just a a great way. Like Instagram has great organic push for a lot of creators using reals. And so I would just take advantage of that. Create videos and learn how to create videos. You know, it's study. It it takes time. Um, but having an automation in place like this just makes affiliate marketing completely passive.
So, all I need to do is create a video that holds attention and I have a call to action in it. And if you watch my videos, you'll see most of them have some sort of call to action at the end. Comment the word XYZ and I'll DM you the link to try it. or comment the word list and I'll send you my uh 150 favorite AI tools um or XYZ. So, uh Blink is is one. This a Vibe Code platform that I've been doing work with. I sent 1978 and 500 people clicked that link.
All right. Um let's try and find some big ones. I'm doing this. Of course, syllabi, right? So, syllabi, um, it's sent 10,000 almost [clears throat] 11,000 times on Instagram. The delivery rate is insane. The open rates insane, right? Compare these open rates to uh, email marketing. Just so much higher, right? And just by having many chat and this automation in place, I've driven 2700 people to my website. And then of course there's there's there's signups from there.
And so this is just a fantastic way to continue doing this. Now that's direct to sales as well. This is indirect. And I want to show you this funnel as well. So, this is to build the email list and you're exchanging their email in exchange for something else. Now, I'm going to walk you through this whole funnel. Um, actually, let me quickly show you how to set one of these up. Um, this is great. So, they have tons of templates, but most of the time I just use this autodm links from comments.
And you can select a specific post or I typically do any post or real. So it backlogs it anytime that someone posts that moving forward. Then you want to set that trigger word. So this is what you're telling them to comment uh in the video and in the description. And so you know comment Bible um and I'll DM you the link for XYZ tool. Right? So any specific word, you can have it any word, but that's going to be chaos because it'll just send everybody that comments anything uh to something you want to organize it a little bit.
But for every tool that I'm an affiliate for, I'll set typically an automation like this up comment bible. And then I can turn this on as well. Reply to their comments. And uh you customize this, but this will this will rotate through them. So, it's not always the same comment. So, if three people leave the word Bible on a post, one person's going to get this comment response, one person's this one, that one's person this one, and then they'll get this opening DM.
Now, I you can have this on. This is default. Um, but I like to uh turn this off and just um uh send them a a direct uh link. So, um, hey, thanks commenting. Here's the link. Oops. Here's the link. All right. And then you're just going to put in your your link there. So, just as an example here, I own this Bible study tool called Bible. Try Bible here. Right. And so again, what this comment flow does is exactly like I showed you on on Instagram.
Anytime somebody leaves the word Bible on a post, I will respond to them, send them a DM with a link to sign up. This is totally automated. So all you need to do is create content. And I'll give you another tip as well. You can repost your content on Instagram as well. I just saw Brock Johnson talk at Social Media Marketing World and he interviewed Adam Maseri Masari Maseri uh the CEO of Instagram and he flat out asked him can we repost videos on Instagram?
The answer is yes. And so I've been doing this a lot um especially recently. And so this was the original video that I published 166 weeks ago. I just reposted it two days ago. It has 20,000 views. Uh what's another one here? There was another one that got it did pretty well. Yeah, this one. This was a repost. 600,000 views just because I downloaded the video and I reposted the video. Same on this one. 37,000 views. This video I originally Oh, do I not?
Oh, maybe I don't have that pinned. But that's a Yeah, that's a repost. And so your best performing content, just repost it every like 30, 60, 90 days. Nobody cares. Nobody watches every single one of your videos anyway. Now, don't just repost stuff. Uh, mix it in. Make sure you're creating fresh content, of course. But if you had a video 6 months ago that's still relevant, that performed really well, repost it. same exact caption, especially if it's promoting a particular uh tool.
This is just a great way to build that um uh uh the consistent flow of leads. Okay, so now back to what I was alluding to. So there you can either directly drive people to your affiliate link, but sometimes people need a little bit more touch points. touch points, right? And so, one of the this is the funnel that I've had for several years and, uh, it's worked very well for me. So, um, I have Beehive as my main newsletter platform.
Let me see in the chat, give me a one if y'all use Beehive, and two if you're like, "What the heck is Beehive?" Lots of twos. Oh, three. It's not even on his radar. All right. Um, I'mma I'mma hype you up on Beehive uh real quick. I'm going to show you why I love it and then I'm going to give you my affiliate link for Beehive because you're going to love it so much. So, this is my list. So, um, rather than driving them to a affiliate link directly, I say, "By the way, I compiled a list of my favorite AI tools.
This, which I showed you earlier, get it for free. Get my compiled list of AI tools for free." Which, by the way, all the links are affiliate links anyway. Now, why I love Beehive is it takes you here and when you enter your email and click subscribe, two things happen. This post uh uh it automatically subscribes and it sends them an email saying here's your list. But it also does this. And this is why I love Beehive so freaking much because they have this boost program.
So you see they subscribed and then this pop-up comes up and these are sponsored. So by the way, do you also want to subscribe to this other newsletter? Yes or no? I can subscribe individually or I can subscribe to all. Now, let me show you how cool Beehive is. Um, here it is. So, by the way, if you want, if I'm selling you on Beehive, use my affiliate link, affiliate marketer by nature. So, the boost program here now, uh, you have to be on a paid plan of Beehive transparently to do this.
Okay. the boosts that are active. Yep. So, that one right there, right? Uh, uh, how to AI. How to AI. Everybody that I get to subscribe to their newsletter, I get paid $160. This brand, this newsletter pays to get newsletter subscribers to their newsletter in front of my newsletter. It's free for my people to sign up, right? They just click on this link, they want my list of 150 AI tools, I email it to them, they sign up for my list, I can send future emails.
They also have the ability to sign up for these other email newsletters. If they do, I get paid. Just doing this, I've made $5,200 from Beehive. Give me a one in the chat if that's freaking cool. Isn't that freaking cool? But there's more than this that I love about Beehive, too. So, the recommendations tab. So, these guys, so this those boosts sponsored, these guys are not. These are my friends. Uh Renee who I mentioned that owns Andereo.
Um this is Brad. This is uh Awa. And this is Ali Mza. We all refer subscribers to one another. And so if you guys all sign up for Beehive and you know other people on Beehive, you can recommend each other's newsletters. So, just from having these guys in front of my email newsletter sign up form and doing exactly what I'm showing you, I have gotten them collectively 40,000 emails to their list. And the same for me. Renee has referred me 3,300 emails.
Brad has given me 4,800 emails. Awa has driven almost 7,000 emails. Ali Mza has driven 7,700 emails. So, my email list and their email list grows together collaboratively. We're all in the same niche. Plus, I get paid to grow my newsletter from scratch. It drives everybody to this list where they're affiliates. And then we have and thanks to uh Rehea and Dawn in here uh they actually uh helped me manage my my email newsletter.
And this is another great way to leverage Beehive your email newsletter. Oh, this is the other cool thing before I show you the actual newsletter. They have an ad freaking ad network in here. So, there's other companies that pay to have ads inside your newsletter that pay you per click or sometimes pay you for earnings. And so, just by inserting ads in my uh newsletter from Beehive, Beehive does all of this, I've earned an additional $3,000.
Um, I'll just be transparent with you guys because I love transparency. So, uh, yeah, collectively I've earned about $8,000. Yeah, $8,138, uh, from Beehive. And it's actually not from the affiliate program. That's the dashboard over here. Like, just transparent. I would love if you guys signed up. I This is the platform that I fully use, but I I use it so heavily because this is where I freaking make money. You know, that boost program has made five grand.
Um, the ad network has paid uh $2,800 so far. um it's just an awesome platform that pays you to use it. But um your newsletter itself is another fantastic way to drive sales to your affiliate links. So this is our uh my newsletter that goes out three times a week. It's a great newsletter. Shout out to Rhea that takes lead on it. Um but we just have different news in here, helpful stuff. Uh you can include sponsorships to your own thing.
So there's a sponsored syllabi of course or breaking news. And then let's go down. So this section right here, the AI tools of the week, these are affiliate links. This is my highle affiliate link. This is the pocket communication coach uh link. This is a tea link. These are affiliate links. People can even um like sometimes brands will pay to have that slot. Uh, I use this as affiliate marketing. Uh, and so that's just another way, another touch point to drive consistent clicks and commissions.
How are we doing so far? You guys good? Is this good stuff? Give me a a one. Uh, it's a Jim. It's about a year uh I would say um on that. Depends how much I push it. Give me one in the chat if this is helpful for you guys. I'm just super curious where you're at. Feel free to give me a two if it's if it's not helpful, but I just this is this is just what's working for me and I hope it helps uh helps you guys too. Good, good, good, good.
Lots of ones. All right, let's keep going here. Um, so I want to also talk about um, Syllis's affiliate program as well and how you're able to use Sylli to promote affiliate links. Actually, real quick thing, too. If you want to sign up for um, syllabi affiliate link, I'll put that in the chat here. There's also another really cool thing that we do for our affiliates and this is going to help you all. Um, if you click on this uh I'll give you this link.
This is the link to I'll show you a couple things here. This is the link to uh to sign up as an affiliate. This is our affiliate resources page. So, we actually give you a lot of resources here too. So um informative uh banners you can use you can um you can use and download all all of these images. We give you social media shorts and long form content uh text posts and tech video scripts.

We just want you guys to be successful with that. Uh content structure and suggestions, you know, all all of that good stuff here. But what I really want to encourage you guys to do, and this is kind of the game that we play, is join our syllabi Facebook group. Is anybody in here?

Um but what I want to highlight here for affiliates is I have this funnel going on where anybody that engages with my profile automatically gets an invite to this Facebook group. in the Facebook group.
We encourage all of you to celebrate your wins. You made money as an affiliate. Brag about it in the group. You got a,000 views on a video, a million views on a video, you got monetized, whatever. Share it in the group. Celebrate. Brag. I want to see the results. I want to turn you into a case study, first of all. But what this does is the new people that come into the group and join the group that aren't familiar with syllabi ask questions about it that haven't yet signed up.
Can syllabi help me with x y and z? What is syllabi? etc. If you see a question like that come into the group, you are allowed to answer them in a very helpful manner just genuine. Don't just like give some AI slop answer. Respond to them. Syllabi is a AI video generation tool that helps you create, schedule, and publish a month of content in any industry in in 30 days. By the way, I have an affiliate link here if you'd like to sign up. you can answer their questions specifically and have your affiliate link.
This is a targeted audience ready to sign up. And so whether you have an audience or not, you can join the Facebook group and be ready for people to ask questions. And when they ask those questions, if you beat me or you beat our team to the answer, share your affiliate link. I'm happy to allow you to do that. I just want everybody uh to win uh and and make money with us. Okay, so now that's out of the way. Uh by the way, this is our brand new dashboard.
We we just rolled out some new updates to Syllabi uh this week. So super excited about that. Avatars are coming back soon uh very soon on that. We're just working on some bug fixes and stuff. If you haven't used syllabi, there's there's lots of cool features. I'm not going to fully demo it today. Um, but you know, we have the storyboard feature which is um, phenomenal. You can st it automatically creates individual scenes.
We're probably the only uh, AI video generation tool out there that lets you create long form uh, AI videos with some of these models like V3 and seed dance and cling and grain etc. and then schedule and publish them out. But what I wanted to show you here is is really um, any V. So, couple things. I'll show you this. The bulk scheduler is freaking crazy. So, you can enter any topic in here uh to promote syllabi or to promote anything whatsoever.
If you sign up for uh you want to be an Amazon affiliate and sell cat product, like cat food, I don't care. Um you can and let's like roll with that as a as a topic, right? like um tips for new cat owners. Uh right, you can just enter that that topic. That's your niche. You're building an audience of people interested in cats so that you can sell uh your affiliate link for cat products to them. Just roll with this example of that's just what came to mind.
You can connect any social media page that you want. So you can connect your YouTube, your Tik Tok, your LinkedIn, your Facebook, your Instagram and threads. Just going to make one of this. And this area specifically is what's going to blow your mind. So you can put in here, PS, I have the best resource for uh new cat owners to get the best um healthy cat food. Um ww.acample.com. This example.com is your affiliate link, right?
You should also uh always disclose as well this is my affiliate link. Um that saves you 10%. Uh yeah, quick um disclaimer on that. Always disclose that they're affiliate links, right? Um affiliate links. Always just have a have a backup disclaimer. It'll it'll protect you. Anyway, what this is going to do now is automatically add this call to action and link. Now, you can also stack this with many chat if you want specifically for Instagram comment X, Y, and Z.
It'll always do it right. So, what you can do here is if you have a a syllabi plan, you can max this sucker out and you can create up to five posts a day for 30 days straight that schedule and publish to every social media platform on unique topics for your niche that drive traffic to your affiliate link. You can basically spam the internet with syllabi to drive affiliate marketing sales. Um, to just show you a quick example of this, I'm just going to pull this down to one post per day and we'll just do five posts here.
Go over to next. And you can set all these uh preset selections and and whatnot. Um, AI voice clones. You can have your own clone uh in here. You can do shorts or long form content. And then once you click generate script here, it's going to create a new video topic and script for that main topic. Okay, so this first one here is essential for uh first 48 hours. How to settle uh a new cat without stress. And then uh that's the scripts.
And then day two, and again, like if you put five videos a day, uh, for 30 days straight, it's going to show you, um, it's going to create 150 unique video topics. So, kitty proofing 101, uh, simple home tweaks that save lives and furniture, and it creates the video entirely for you, the whole video, everything automatically schedules and publishes it. And into the description is that call to action and clickable link to your affiliate link.
Kind of mind-blowing, right? Give me a one in the chat if you can see the power of this. Love it. Woohoo. Heck yeah. Amazing. You can also do this on an individual video um uh as well. So you can create all kinds of different fun things. It's like this was our storyboard feature. By the way, >> if you guys haven't used the storyboard feature yet, it's brand new. You can have a reference image. So, it basically acts as avatars.
You can upload your own uh headshot and and image in here and just like tell tell a story uh together >> with character full character consistency. But then from here again like you can uh click publish and uh and then have this call to action link in there, right? So uh we have that same call to action and link in there with the cat videos. Um it can uh generate the description. You set your thumbnail and uh put that um and uh customize it.
You can autogenerate the title, tags, description, so it's fully optimized to be found uh everywhere. But yeah, I mean, we've we've just built syllabi really to be able to help you grow your content at scale. And I I think this is just such like I I'm I'm glad that I'm doing this talk on affiliate marketing. And I I hope you guys see the the value in this because so many people think that the only way to make money online is by getting monetized on these platforms.
And that's great. You can, but it takes time to do it. And once you get that first paycheck, let me tell you from experience, you spend six months trying to get monetized. You finally get monetized and day one of payment is 60 sec 60 cents. It's demoralizing. You're like, "Oh, I thought I was going to wake make way more money than this." And it can build. You know, big creators, big channels can make a lot of money, but it's pennies compared to affiliate marketing.
And you can monetize with affiliate marketing from day one. Day one, you can create content uh at scale on social media and drive um uh traffic. So, like on um uh YouTube, like everything that we do um you know, we've got this faceless channel or this is my faceless channel. I'll just show you. So, just pull up one of these. >> All right. So, this these this video has this call to action. So, every video that we put out has that call to action uh link to it.
And this channel in particular is doing, let's see, 81,000 views per month. That's just one of our channels. We manage a lot of these faceless channels that drive traffic back to Sili. And we have so many people in our Facebook community as well that drive traffic back to Sylli. So you can actually like sign up for syllabi, be an affiliate for syllabi, and that is the fastest and easiest way to make recurring passive income online.
So I hope this was helpful for you guys. One uh additional thing that I want to give you as well. I created just um exclusively for you guys uh a discount coupon for being here live. This is not going to be on the replay. So if you use this coupon code, it's 26% off any plan. So, it's 26% off the first month or the entire year on any annual plan of Syllabine. You can also use the coupon if you really want to to to sign up and and be an affiliate and and tell people about it, help you out.
But I hope this was helpful, guys. Um, we're almost at an hour here, so I'm going to wrap. I threw a lot of information at you. Definitely join our community. Syllabi is going on four years now. We've really built this to be a tool by creators for creators to help them make money online. I'm not promising you a get-richqu scheme overnight. This takes time. This takes consistency. But I promise you, if you just do the steps that I outlined over the last 45 minutes for you, you will make money anywhere in the world.
That's the other thing that I love about affiliate marketing. There's friends from Africa here and in the Philippines and Canada and all different countries. $50 commission to me is not as much as a $50 commission to someone in Africa. That's a lot of money. Everybody gets paid the same in affiliate marketing. That's the best part about it. And so, you just need to get a couple sales and you can change your life. I hope this was helpful.
I'm going to end my uh stop share screen here and uh let me know what questions that I can answer for you guys. So uh I hope this yeah was this was this helpful? Give me a give me a one in the chat if this was helpful for you guys. >> Rios and I think one of the questions that were asked what were about the credits in syllabi. >> Y >> um how are credits uh uh deducted and per video? Could you get give more explanation on that?
Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. So, um we've spent a lot of time on uh credit transparency as as well. So, uh I was doing this this uh um demo with Jay earlier. He didn't realize you could click on it, but if you just click on this the credits up here in the upper right hand corner, this is the full credit transparency. So, um how much credits you have. You can always buy additional credits. It shows you where your credits um uh have spent as well.
And uh on our pricing page as well is the full credit breakdown here. So this uh Oh, I guess it's not on this page. That's a good question. Uh there it is. It's under the FAQ. So how are credits charged? I think this is also on the homepage as well. Uh but idea discovery is is 15 credits. And also I just want to get ahead of this question. The reason that we have a credit system is to allow you to use syllabi however you want.
If we just said basic gets you um five videos per month and three idea discovery per month and you know XYZ uh per month, what you want to do might be different from someone else. There are people that use the idea discovery engine heavily to find trending topics and there are people that don't use it at all and only want to create faceless videos. The credit system and we've gone back and forth on this a lot. The credit system is the most free way to use syllabi however you want, whatever you want to do.
Um, credits are also very transparent on on every aspect. So if you go into text to scene for instance here it's basically everywhere uh any model that you choose. So V3 is 11 credits per second uh or V3 fast is four credits per second. Uh by the way we have seed dance 2 in here now which is the best model on the entire internet. uh C dance 2 is 13 uh credits per second or the fast version is two credits per second and it will show you um if you create like a 6-second video uh of VO3 it's 11 credits per second which means 66 credits that's how much uh it will take to uh uh create that that actual video um there's also tons of examples and stuff down here that you can see also the uh if you haven't been back here in a minute.
Like we we literally rolled this out. I love this new >> um uh sort of template gallery here. So, uh we have all these like sample videos that were made in syllabi and then we give you the actual prompt uh that you can recreate that video uh yourself. But yeah, that's how the the credit system uh works. It's it's built for um yeah, and Frank, it's it's just based on cost. That's the the biggest thing. Um, I would love to charge less.
It's how much that we're charged. You know, every video generation, Seed Dance charges us money, 11 Labs charges us money. Uh, the backend editing and uh, processing charges money. You know, that's just like I can't give it unlimited for free. We're charged money up front, you know. That's just not, you know, it is it is what it is. Uh, until like the other thing, too, as models get cheaper, we get cheaper. Um, I I'm not greedy.
I, you know, uh, I'm I'm here to support you guys. I'm a content creator, too. And so, um, we have some of the best, you know, credit pricing out there. Some people like it. Some people don't like the credit system. Uh, we've talked to tens of thousands of people. The credit system allows us to give the most flexibility. Um it it and I'll use the the top models if you want or the cheaper models if you want to maximize the amount of videos that you create in syllabi and you just want sort of image uh edited together faceless videos that it's you can create um a minute a one minute long video for only 13 credits. uh you could create on the basic plan um I think it's like 20 or 30 I think it's 37 minutes of video faceless video uh per month that's a lot of content but for those people that want to use the top models you want to use seed dance you want to use V3 Pro that's just the cost um and we want to allow you to create those videos if you want to credits do not roll over.
That is on purpose as well. So, credits roll over if you purchase additional credits outside. Um, this is something that, you know, it's a good it's a good question. Um, I'm very upfront with it. It's to encourage you to use the platform. Uh, I want to I want you to build the habit. And some people say it's not fair. I want I would rather you stay consistent and burn through your credits every month because I know that that will help you more.
If you create no content and like I talk about this with people all the time, consistency is the most important thing in content creation. If we did credit roll over, everybody would take a month off and then create a bunch of videos and then take a month off. That's not going to help you grow. I want and that that's from the beginning that it's always been that way on purpose. Credits do not roll over because I as a content creator of 20 years am forcing the behavior of you of being consistent and it like is that that fear of if I don't use all my credits all month, I'm going to lose them.
So, I want you to psychologically have that in your brain to create more content and stay consistent because as you stay consistent, it builds the muscle in your head and it becomes easier and easier and easier. >> We have one question here on affiliate marketing if you're still up for it. Um, so do you recommend for affiliate marketing to start a fresh business page in Facebook or a personal profile on Facebook or is there a better platform to start fresh on? >> Yeah, it's a it's a great question.
So for me, uh, personal profile on Facebook with professional mode, which gives you all of the analytics, ability to monetize, um, get verified, all of those things. I very heavily tested the same content on a business page and my personal profile. And the personal profile by far got more engagement um, and more um, organic reach for free. And that's why I leaned into professional mode uh on my personal profile, but if you have like uh I I totally get it if you you're connected with friends and family and you're not interested like you you don't want to uh co-mingle your personal and and affiliate marketing.
I I totally get it. I personally made that sacrifice, but not everybody needs to. You can start uh a page. Pages are fine. This is just my personal anecdotal evidence. I would suggest starting on one platform and then adding more platforms to it. So, ideally, you want to get to a place where you're active on Facebook and Tik Tok and Instagram and LinkedIn and YouTube. Um, oh, that's another thing. Let me sh I forgot to share this.
I'll give you another quick quick thing that's working for me recently. So, I've been really focused on growing LinkedIn recently, and my LinkedIn's been crushing. So, this is, let's see, last 90 days. Oops. Last, come on. Update. There we go. Last 90 days, 4 million impressions on on LinkedIn. And so, a lot of those list posts are crushing. So, the same posts that I did before. Um, you know, a lot of these are individual tools, but some of them have like the affiliate link in there.
But anyway, in particular, what I wanted to show you that I was excited about is newsletters. So, LinkedIn newsletter is it's been around for a while, but it's a very untapped, automatically growing channel. So, anybody that follows you on LinkedIn, if you have an active newsletter automatically gets an invitation to that newsletter. And so, what you can do, so I have this newsletter here, and I just want to show you some of these stats because I picked it back up again.
Um, the last 7 days, 516 new subscribers to my LinkedIn newsletter. These newsletters get sent to their inbox, by the way. So like Beehive, it gets delivered to the inbox. And so because my my LinkedIn uh is naturally growing. Um you can see that every day I get new subscribers because it automatically sends them a notification. I want to see if I didn't get any, but let me see if there's any in network here. Say typically approved. it'll it'll show up in like notifications and whatnot.
So and so invites you to join their newsletter and a a certain amount of people do, right? So those same beehive newsletters I've been repurposing, how's this going here? on um on LinkedIn newsletters which also rank for SEO by the way and it's just on LinkedIn here and it uh the same thing the yeah the AI top tools of the week right these are affiliate links and we go into stats here um 5,467 emails sent 20% email open rate just because I'm growing my LinkedIn uh profile which is then growing my LinkedIn newsletter which I'm repurposing and it's just another channel to drive uh affiliate traffic to or or signups or anything.
So don't sleep on LinkedIn. Um but hopefully that was helpful too. And I got to go here in just a a a couple minutes. Um but any other qu any other final questions that I can answer for you? And uh Deshan, to your point, yeah, um I'm very active in the Facebook group. So it I highly suggest joining our our Facebook community. Um I'll put the link in in here as well. Definitely join that group. Feel free to ask uh any questions.
And then I want to give you a couple more of these links. Again, uh where did my If you guys are interested in signing up for syllabi, I created uh this coupon code just for you guys. So, it's affiliate26 https. If you sign up for Silby and use that coupon code when you sign up, it's 26% off any plan. So 26% off the first month or 26% off the entire year on any annual plan. So that applies it to all 12 months upfront.
And um this is a tool that I I just hope uh genuinely helps you guys. We have uh thousands of users creating thousands of videos every single day uh on on syllabi. Uh we managed dozens of uh of uh Faceless accounts uh ourselves as an internal team. We just built the tool to fully um manage everything. You can create, schedule, publish 30 days of videos to every social media platform and use it as a way to drive traffic back to your affiliate links or anything that you want to sell in just a couple of minutes.
I hope this was helpful again for you guys. Thank you so much. Yes, the yearly plan does charge uh upfront, Deshawn. And uh if uh I can answer any other questions for you guys, feel free to join our Facebook group, let us know. And um I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your day.
