Steve Raiken has an incredible success story.

It wasn't long ago that Steve was waiting tables at a restaurant and making $15,000 per year. Fast forward five years, he is now making $108k per month with profit margins at over 90%. He is the Founder of Raiken Profit which teaches people how to sell on eBay and Amazon. On top of that, he also has a successful YouTube channel.

Here is a sneak peek of our interview together where Steve and I talk about how he was able to transform his life and create a successful affiliate marketing business.

How did you get started with affiliate marketing?

I started with affiliate marketing 5 to 6 years ago. At the time, I was working at the Cracker Barrel as a server. I started watching YouYube videos about how to make money online and began the process of selling on eBay and Amazon. Once I started to have some success with that venture, I quit my job. It was at this time that I started my YouTube channel. I wanted to share my journey. In particular, the ups and downs that I was going through in my business. Five years later I've published 1,800 videos and I have over 100,000 subscribers.

What is your strategy for promoting other people's products?

In all honesty, I watch your videos, Stefan and I model exactly what you do! The biggest thing that has worked for me has been interviewing people. I like to build relationships in various niches. I'm in the make money online/e-commerce niche.

In particular, eBay and Amazon.

You may think that this is a small niche, but there are so many sub-niches within them. With Amazon alone, there's private label, wholesale, and retail arbitrage, to name a few. I build relationships with people in each of those niches. I never ask for something right away. I always come from a place of adding value, especially when I'm reaching out to people with large audiences. When you build authentic relationships with people, they want to engage with you.

When it comes to YouTube, I'll create content on the front end, in the form of tips, tricks, strategies, and interviews. From there, I drive people to an opt-in page. When people opt-in, they become a part of an email sequence. I've got 50-60 emails that go out over a one-year period. I add tons of value first, and then I promote people's products. It's the jab, jab, jab, right hook strategy.

How did my Affiliate Marketing Mastery course help you grow your business? 

It's been awesome. I love how you share everything from start to finish. One really important thing that I learned from your course is that, if you want to amplify your sales, you need to offer people bonuses. I had one product that was doing a couple of thousand dollars per month. That number doubled overnight when I presented people with a bonus offer in my email copy. Keep in mind that you want your bonuses to be congruent with what it is that you are offering. 

What are some key beliefs that have contributed to your success? 

Consistency is everything. When you are doing affiliate marketing, sometimes you don't get results right away. As an example, let's look at this launch that I just had where I made 108k.

On the first day, I got 19 sales. It was awesome!

However, on the second and third day, I didn't get any sales. All of sudden, I started to get down. My natural instinct was, “It's over.” At that moment, I started to think about what you taught me. I knew that I couldn't allow a temporary defeat to get me down. Rather, I had to trust the process. So many people want results right away. However, that's not how success works. Preparation and consistency are what lead to success in life. On day 3 I said to myself, “If I wake up on day 8 and I don't get any more sales but I do everything that I can and come from a place of making a difference, then I won't have any regrets.” On days 6 and 7 my sales exploded and I made $108,000.

What advice do you have for someone who is eager to create a laptop lifestyle?

Find one person that you trust and resonate with, and then model them. For me, that person was you, Stefan. I'm always watching your videos and trying to figure out how I can put a spin on what you do.

The problem is that a lot of people dabble in too many different businesses. At the end of the day, you need to decide on one thing and focus all of your energy on that. Once you have that figured out, find someone who has already achieved what it is that you want. Whatever you do, don't give up. Being successful takes time. 

This is how Steve Raiken made $108k with affiliate marketing in less than 7 days!

If you dream of running your own business and creating the financial freedom you desire, then I highly recommend that you get started with affiliate marketing. Steve's story proves that anything is possible. Now it's your turn to believe it. Are you ready to become a successful affiliate marketer?
