Let's dive into this article...


The Product Promoted

The name of the product that Usable Finance promoted was Phoenix Reloaded; however, he promoted two other products, Affiliate One and End Game, as well, but they didn't make any profit.

Phoenix Reloaded is a course product launched by James Fawcett and Mark Barrett on January 16, 2022. It is an information-based product that details the exact process the course creators used to go from being broke to generating consistent daily income, and the strategies revealed in the course were claimed to be extremely easy to set up, sustain, and scale up.

The Phoenix Reloaded method works in three simple steps as advertised:

  • Step 1: Pick a proven offer. This step shows how to find a winning affiliate offer and how to get approved even if you are a newbie.
  • Step 2: Send traffic to the offer. This step shows how to start getting traffic to your link.
  • Step 3: Relax and enjoy. In this step, you monitor your commissions as they begin to flood your accounts with minimal work.
  • Step 4: Repeat (optional): To make this strategy work well, after steps 1 to 3, you should repeat them to continue making money.

According to Usable Finance, 

"This is a very good approach that you can use. It's got some amazing value, and it's going to help you make money with affiliate marketing."


The Traffic Source

Usable Finance promoted his affiliate link by making YouTube videos related to the product, since he is already in the make money online niche, a lot of the videos on his YouTube channel are also geared towards the "make money online" niche. All he did to promote his affiliate links was to put them in the description of the videos he made.

The way Usable Finance's strategy works is that he makes valuable YouTube videos of about 10 to 11 minutes long each, and the affiliate link is embedded in the video description. The link leads to an opt-in page, where the person interested in the product enters his email. This opt-in page was set up by Usable Finance to collect the emails of interested buyers so he could send similar offers to them through their emails. In his words, he said: 

"Once they click the affiliate link, they will get instant access to the course landing page, and their email addresses get stored in my autoresponder." 

From the opt-in page, the buyer is redirected to the product landing page, from where the purchase was made, and the affiliate commission is earned. This method of getting traffic does not only work for the make-money-online niche but also works for all niches as long as there is value you can provide for people to watch in the form of video content. 

Other marketplaces, such as Clickbank and Digitstore24 also have products in this niche you can promote. Again, we want to make it clear that this strategy can be used to research and promote winning products in other niches also. It works for products that are not in the make-money-online niche.

How to Create and Promote YouTube Videos

When creating a YouTube video, Usable Finance advised that: 

"You should be creating "how-to" style videos because when you're just getting started with YouTube, tapping into the suggested traffic is going to be a little bit more difficult in the beginning. So you should go for search-based traffic." 

To get an idea of the videos to make and keywords to target, you can use the auto-suggestion feature on the YouTube search bar. For example, when one types in "How to Make Money."

Possible suggestions are which show are:

"How to Make Money Online in 2023"

"How to Make Money Online Through Affiliate Marketing"

"How to Make Money Online Investing."

These suggestions give an insight into what kind of video to make. After getting the insight, watch about five to ten videos on that particular keyword idea, then make your video. In the video,  ensure to provide value, and don't forget to put the product's affiliate link in the video description. By creating the video this way, Usable Finance said, 

"You're not just copying other people's videos, but you're taking notes of the most important parts of the videos you have watched and creating your video own in your own way."

There are several ways to make a YouTube affiliate promotion video, but you must first decide if you will go for a face-revealing video or a faceless kind of video, and use whichever method works well. However, Usable Finance recommends two software programs for making these videos:


How to Use Loom to Create  YouTube Videos 

Loom is a simple tool that allows you to create up to 25 videos for free. There are two plans available for users apart from the free plan trial: the business plan, which costs $12.50 a month, and the enterprise plan which is a custom plan. Still, with the free plan, you can do a lot of things, some of which include:

  • Up to 25 free videos
  • Video quality up to 720p
  • Virtual backgrounds
  • Background noise suppression, 
  • Five minutes per video recording length, and so on.

With Loom, you have three different ways to record your videos: Screen share + camera, screen share only, and the camera only. The "Screen share" only mode records everything displayed on the desktop's screen, the "Screen share + camera" mode records everything displayed on the desktops screen and the webcam, and the "camera only" mode records everything captured by the camera.

Also, the following should be noted when creating videos with Loom:

  • Obtain the right pieces of equipment: The first essential in video recording and editing is to obtain the right equipment, which includes a camera, a microphone, and proper lighting.
  • Place the microphone close to the Mouth: place the mic a few feet away—for instance the laptop's mic on the desk—and the voice is competing with everything else. The proximity of the output (the Mouth) to the input (the microphone) is everything when getting a clean audio recording.
  • Keep the Screen Clean: Loom is software built to capture the computer screen, and it may capture some other unnecessary portions of the desktop screen. To curb this, use the Current-Tab Only feature.


How to Use OBS Studio to Create YouTube Videos

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio is an open-source software that records and streams videos and audio on your computer, and it is compatible with most video and audio sources. OBS can easily integrate with popular streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch, which makes it appealing to podcasters, vloggers, and live streamers. Although you can access it for free, it can be very intimidating to figure out how to record on OBS.

To understand how recording with OBS works, the interface is broken down into six sections:  

  1. The Preview Window: Once the recording is finished, you can see what the recorded video looks like in this section of the screen.
  2. The Scenes Section: The scenes section show inputs from different sources, including a live stream, an image, and other types of input sources. 
  3. Audio and Video Sources: This section shows all audio or video devices used for recording the content. Devices such as a microphone, webcam, and other input sources used for recording the content are here. 
  4. Audio Mixer: This section can be used to adjust the settings for the audio recordings. 
  5. Scene Transitions: With scene transitions, you can add nice animations that will play while switching between scenes in the recording.
  6. Controls: Here, there are basic operating functions to start or stop recording, select the output mode, and adjust the recording settings.

To record everything displayed on the Screen, follow these steps:

Step 1: Add a new scene in the scene section or choose an existing one.

Step 2: Click the "+" symbol in the source section to add a source. 

Step 3: Choose display capture as the source type and click "OK" when the pop-up appears.

Step 4: Click "Start Recording" in the controls section.

Step 5: When you are done, select "Stop recording," and the recordings can be accessed from the video or movie folder on your computer.

Phoenix Reloaded is a make-money-online product that teaches its users how to approach affiliate marketing profitably. The product was promoted with a video uploaded on YouTube, and it was packed with so much value.

The traffic strategy used to promote this product on YouTube was by making a search-based video. In this article, we showed how to create videos by getting ideas from YouTube's search bar auto-suggestions and recording the videos using a simple software called Loom. Also, you can make videos with a more advanced software called OBS studio; however, it should be noted that with this strategy, one can promote more than one affiliate product at a time if they are all in the same niche.
