In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you exactly how to start a YouTube channel, create helpful videos, and use affiliate marketing to build multiple streams of (semi) passive income — even if you’re starting from zero.
💡 My Story (Why This Works) I made my first affiliate sale in 2007 and was instantly hooked. After years of trial & error, I started sharing everything for free on YouTube — with one simple focus: help people first.
Within 2 months, I made my first sale ($20). A month later: $200. Fast forward… I’ve earned millions with affiliate marketing by creating high-quality tutorials that solve real problems. And that’s exactly what I’ll teach you in this video.
