how to start affiliate marketing

in order to generate some passive income.

You don't need any of your own products or services,

you can just recommend stuff like headphones

that you already use every single day

and earn commission off of it, stay tuned.

Hey, what is up guys, ODi Productions

and I am back with a new video.

I got my man, Mark, helping me out

who's my new assistant, say hi Mark.

- [Mark] What's up.

- Here, you can show 'em, you can show yourself.

- What's up, guys?

- Alright cool, that's my man.

He's gonna be helping out with videos.

He's gonna help me create more content

for you guys so it's a win-win.

I'm gonna be cranking out two videos per week.

You guys can hold me to it, I'm definitely gonna be

more consistent with pumping out content that is meant

to educate and entertain you guys all in one.

So anyways, today the topic of the video as you saw in the

intro is I'm gonna teach you guys how to start earning

passive income with affiliate marketing,

which is my main business model.

And for those who don't know me,

if you're new to the channel my name is Odi,

I'm 25 years old and I was born

and raised in San Diego, California.

Basically, if you saw in the intro that

basically gave my story how I dropped out of UCLA.

I actually got a nice little UCLA sign right here

which my cousin did get me, so that's pretty awesome.

Anyways, I dropped out of UCLA

three years ago with a 3.5 GPA my senior year,

literally was two quarters away from graduation

but I was working on businesses on the side.

In fact, I actually have my first business right here

which is recordingnow.com which is

an affiliate marketing website where I reviewed headphones.

So basically I was working on that on the side

and I got it up to a certain level and I actually chose

to drop out of school in order to burn the boats

so to speak and then pursue entrepreneurship full-time.

Now three years later I've been

able to do a lot of cool stuff.

I have other videos on my channel

where I talk about making money.

One of them, which tells my story,

I made $45,000 in a single week,

one calendar year after getting fired from my 9-5 job.

So that's a really cool one to

check out if you wanna learn more about me.

But anyways, that's it and the gist

so today we're gonna go grab lunch really quick.

It's not gonna take too long,

and then we're gonna jump into the video.

I'm gonna share with you guys three methods

that you can start, even today, for free to start

generating some passive income through affiliate marketing.

And for anyone who's not familiar with what

affiliate marketing is, it's basically just

getting money through referrals.

So like I said in the intro, if you recommend these

headphones to someone using Amazon Associates,

which is the largest affiliate program in the world,

then you will receive a commission of,

I think it's about 4% on the price of these headphones

and these are about $350 so 4% of that

is a pretty nice chunk for making one sale.

You don't need any products, you don't need any inventory,

you don't need to actually have the headphones in stock,

you don't need to ship them out.

The company, for example Amazon

takes care of all of that for you so it's less hassle,

less headaches, no customer service,

and you just get a check at the end of the day.

So, pretty awesome.

Anyways we're about to head down to the garage.

We're going to be taking the Lamborghini today because

I haven't driven it in two weeks, I've been traveling.

I'll give you guys more updates when we're in the car, so...

I'm about to pick, okay so if you're new to the channel

I also daily drive a 911 Turbo and this is the Lambo, oh--

Uh oh, okay so I know what you guys are thinking,

that the car is a rental, right?

But actually, no, this is from my stay at the Montage in LA

a couple weeks ago for business so I had it valeted,

had it sitting out front so yeah.

So internet detectives, zero.

ODi Productions, one.

And by the way, I just got these new--

I literally just got them in today so I'm really excited.

I have a few pairs of sunglasses, I actually

just lost a pair but I think these are pretty cool.

Let me know how I look in the comments below.

So anyways, we're about to head out.

I'm ready, are you hungry?

I'm ready to go.

- [Mark] Dude, I'm starving man.

Let's go. - Alright, let's get it.

Before we head out guys, I just

wanna show you guys the fit of the day.

I'm rockin' the Nike off-white Air Max collab

if you wanna check those out right there.

Been getting a lot of compliments on these

so I'm pretty stoked about them, I always loved them

from the first time I saw them pre-released.

I got Nike Tech Fleece joggers,

these are in a green color that I haven't really seen before

but I got them I think off Eastbay or something

and I'm just rocking a Topman shirt.

Topman's like my favorite place,

I have like literally a dozen shirts from Topman.

It's cheap, they look good, they're fashionable.

And then, got the new shades so yeah, fit of the day.

Not rocking any watches or anything today, but yeah.

Alright, we're up here in the garage.

If you're new to the channel, this is my daily driver.

It's a custom Porche 911 Turbo,

love this thing, love it to death.

I drive this-- I choose this nine times out of ten.

I actually haven't driven the Lambo in like two weeks

just because, I don't know, it's a bit of an event.

So anyways, we're gonna unravel this and then

we're gonna take it out for lunch today.

Should be pretty fun, so let's check it out.

- [Mark] Get it

- Check out this cold start, it hasn't been started

two weeks let's hear it.

It's gonna be loud.

(engine revving loudly)

Alright, what up guys in the Superleggera.

As you heard in that startup clip it's pretty loud

so we have to put the windows up and even then I still

think that you can probably hear the engine

in the background, I'm trying to keep the RPMs low.

But anyways, I wanna give you guys a couple updates

on where I've been, what I've been up to.

I know I haven't really been uploading the past couple weeks

like here and there, I haven't really made an

affiliate marketing video in a while

and I just wanted to let you guys know what I've been up to.

I've been doing a ton of traveling,

I went from Chicago to Orlando, back to Chicago

to San Diego, up to LA, over to

Orange County for some business meetings.

Then I went back down to San Diego,

flew to New York for a business meeting,

some of you guys may have seen that on my Instagram.

I'm here with Ryan Serhant who is

the star of Million Dollar Listing: New York

and also the founder of the number one real estate

brokerage team in New York City.

Flew back here to San Diego from New York so it's been pre--

Oh, and I just came back from Chicago

two days ago, by the way, so I've

been going all around honestly.

I've been doing a lot of business

and a lot of stuff behind the scenes

which is something I want to talk about

because I actually just started a new business venture

that I had to keep under wraps for now

but honestly, it's gonna be big.

And so I'm looking forward to sharing that

with you guys once it's built.

It's already begun, the development

for the web development and everything

so I'm really excited about that

but I'm also excited to basically just get back into

the swing of making content for you guys.

I'm real excited to make more YouTube videos

to inspire, to motivate you guys

and also give you guys some real, tactical info

for how you can make passive income

because that's something I've been able to do.

Wow, this AC is really loud, turn that down a little bit.

So anyways, that's just to get that out of the way where,

what I've been up to but I'm gonna start

uploading twice a week, I have a schedule.

I have Mark helping me out behind the camera.

It's gonna help me to create a lot

more content more regularly for you guys.

But anyways, so another thing I wanna talk about is
