When you're first getting started with your online business there is a period of time where you'll be overwhelmed and not sure that what you're currently doing is the right thing to be doing and unsure of what to do next.
There is nothing worse than working your butt off for 90 days only to find out you weren't doing things the right way. So then you've wasted that time and this is when most people throw in the towel.
Here are the basics to get most people started and headed in the right direction
1. Get the training.
A. The 15 Day Challenge is a great way to learn and get the marketing skills
B. Another Place is MCS. This is a coaching program where they take everyone by hand and get them to there goals. Join the Free FaceBook group >> START HERE
2. Pick a product
A. There are many places to pick products to promote. The most popular ones in the MMO niche are courses and softwares because of the higher profit margins and higher commission percentages. For this reason I recommend getting started promoting Legendary Marketer or MCS as a way to get going and get results.
3. Building Your Funnel
A. Build your funnel around the product you want to promote
4. Set up email follow up
A. get your email autoresponder set up and ready to do follow up for your product
5. Promoting on TikTok
A. Use a creator account as this is proven to get more reach. Resist the immediate urge to post your link with a business account
B. Don't make side hustle trash content that attracts the wrong audience. You may get tons of click, views, and followers but you'll have an account full of people that want a hand out and won't buy from you. I've seen people with 100k followers that haven't made a dime and then I've seen people with 25k followers that have made $50,000 because they created the right content
C. What's the right content?? or What's the right audience?
The right audience is YOU !!! There is a reason you decided to get started making money online and I promise you that you don't have the patent for your reasons. What this means is that there are people just like you out there that want the same change and results. This is who your content should target.
The right content can be a few things with a couple main objectives. Solving problems(pain points), Overcoming Objections, Mindset Change, Motivational, and probably the most important is creating curiosity.
c1. Solving Problems/Pain Points. Just like it sounds. when you got started with this you had reasons or pain points that were enough to make you want to change. So in some of your content talk about that. Talk about how you wanted out of debt, or hate your job, want more family time, go on vacations, tired of 60-70-80 hour work weeks..ect
c2. Overcoming Objections. Here you'll be overcoming the same things that made you hesitant about starting when you did. Is this a scam? Can I actually make money? I'm not smart enough? I'm not good with tech? Will I get help? Can someone show me what to do? How much time does it take? Can I do this while still working full time?
c3. Mindset Change. 95% of the people watching your content do not believe any of this is legit or can work. They will always believe that what they've been taught their whole lives about a 9-5 being the only way they can make money. That trading time for money is the only way. so some of your content must address this and start breaking down that mindset
c4. Motivational. Just like it says. Every now and then you need to throw in a motivational video that will not pitch anything but rather get people to get off the sidelines and take action
c5. Creating Curiosity. This one is what will usually compel people to end up finally clicking your link. These videos can be your wins(income claims done right). Income claims are why most of us started this in the first place. I know its why I did. Now obviously you can't just make video after video of this as you'll start to alienate your audience and they'll feel more like its bragging rather than just showing what can be done. Here are the keys to creating curiosity
c5. Like it was stated above, Showing folks what is possible with showing income is ok when used sparingly and tastefully. Just a note: If you haven't earned anything its ok to leverage other peoples wins but If I were you I wouldn't mention them by name because people will go check them out and possibly decide to buy from them. It happens.
c5. You also never want to marry yourself to one product so even though you may be promoting legendary tight now. What if you decide to change or they decide to go in a different direction. So your content should reflect this and stay neutral. I have neve once talked about a $7 course or named the program in my content. The other reason you don't name the product is because people will immediately go google it and will see someone's review which will likely be a blog and then they will get the sale. The bottom line is to create content that makes people want to click your link to see what's going on
c6. Transformation: People want to see where they can be. They want to see how you go from nothing to making a change in your life. Transformation sells more than anything. So a lot of your content will always show a transformation by default. Just don't forget that its important
D. Going Live: The days of making 3 tiktok's per day and just sitting back and cashing in are just not as prevalent as they used to be. It can happen but it will require a level of consistency that most won't be able to keep up with.. This is why going live is really important. Going live is what will separate you from everyone else posting 3 tiktok's per day. This allows people to get to know you. When dealing with high ticket going live is what works on tiktok. People do business with people. If they don't resonate with you, you'll have a hard time making a sale.
E. Hashtags: Steer away from popular hashtags when starting a new account. Big Tags like affiliate marketing, business, and make money online are going to do a couple things on tiktok. TikTok is social media and the job of "social" media is to group like minded people together. So when you start using these big hashtags right out of the gate its going to have a negative effect.
e1. As a smaller account it will lump you in with the rest of us that have bigger accounts and then your content will be seen mostly by other affiliates and 90% of the time they just scroll and so it kills your watch time and views and then you'll get discouraged and quit. I've seen it happen
F. Dealing with negativity: It used to be a good thing to engage these folks because the algorithm used to love engagement. Comments are the last metric in any video now so there is no need to engage. And with how easy it is to get someone's account shutdown, my new recommendation is to block them immediately and move on. Save yourself the hassle of getting an account that you've worked so hard for, banned!
G. What time to post: This is really way overblown because of the reach that tiktok has but making sure you post after 10 a.m. and no later than 9 p.m. will have the best results so try and post your content in between these times. Never Post videos back to back either. Try to allow for an hour or two between posts. If you post them too close, TikTok will treat it as a spam attempt and not only will the video be under review, the video is usually throttled meaning its performance with be greatly affected
H. General things to look out for:
h1. Don't use the words link in bio as they cause videos to be throttled
h2. Do not guarantee income in any way. This is an FTC violation and tiktok can shut you down over it
h3. Certain sayings and phrases are being deleted by tiktok without your knowledge. Replies you leave on peoples comments can not say link in bio, DM, message me. Its really tricky but its just tiktok's attempt to keep people on the app and not leaving. I have a back up account as every one of you should have and I often go to that account and look at my main account to see what they will allow me to say and what they won't.

. If your tiktok account does get banned, go HERE to start the process of getting it back and then every single day you on your back up account and report a problem and tell them how your main account was wrongfully shut down. This is how I finally got my account back after it was gone for 2 months.
Although they didn't help me I do know they helped others. Here are the two email addresses you can send emails to and hopefully get your account restored as well.
A. business-servicesupport@tiktok.com
B. creator-marketplace-support@tiktok.com
8. Promoting on Instagram/FaceBook Reels: You should always start promoting on one platform but from what I'm seeing here lately, you need to be repurposing your tiktok content to Instagram and FaceBook reels as soon as possible. I'm not the best on Instagram but I know the top affiliates on there and they all say the same thing and that is...
A. They don't know how their accounts blew up on Instagram!!! Now I know how that sounds. They know but it doesn't make sense. The hashtags don't matter. The posting time doesn't matter. The only thing that they all have in common is that they posted consistently 3 times a day every day for as long as it took. Sure there are ways to dress up your account but for the most part its consistency and using the targeted content that you're repurposing from tiktok is the key on these platforms.
B. Try not to post more than 3 times per day on any of these platforms unless you can space them out over hours. All these platforms do not like content posted close together. There needs to be at least an hour preferably two between posts on all platforms.
This Information is a general game plan for beginners and should get you started with direction and purpose. After 3 months of steady posting there are some other things you need to be focusing on like creating your own FB group and a YouTube Channel to help start converting leads but lets get these basics down to a science and get you making your first $1,000 online.
