A word from the author.
These two free YouTube and TikTok content marketing strategies had me rather busy. Hence my recent absence from Medium for a bit. Testing content marketing strategies is time-consuming.
Therefore, I tested both strategies until I generated some sales. Not millions of dollars, but the point is that it works! This strategy was tested with affiliate products from Clickbank, Warrior Plus, and JV Zoo.
Whether these content marketing strategies with YouTube and TikTok will work for you, remains to be seen. Because there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to affiliate marketing and making money online.
It worked for me, and that is why I am sharing this with you today. As my profile says, “Creating Content & Affiliate Marketing Traffic Strategies Is My Time While Testing And Writing About Them is My Dime!”.
Before we get into these strategies, there are 5 Free Tools you will need to make this work for you. They are.
1. VidIQ Browser Extension. (affiliate link)
2. Tube Buddy Browser Extension. (affiliate link)
3. Canva Design Tool.
4. Linktree One Page Website.
5. Chat GPT.
These 5 free tools, or elements making up these strategies are of paramount importance. With your Linktree one-page website, for instance, you are going to redirect to videos, profiles, free giveaways, and affiliate offers. But I leave the creativity and research up to you.

TikTok strategy for affiliate marketing.
This must be one of the easiest, or least time-consuming content marketing strategies. Because it only involves you including your Linktree one-page website URL in your TikTok bio.
But in order for that URL to become a hyperlink, you will need to have more than 1000 followers. You can still include the link if you have less than 1000 followers. But that means your visitor will have to highlight the URL and then visit.
It will not be a hyperlink, that redirects immediately to your Linktree one-page website. Just visit the site called Linktree, create your free account and start getting your affiliate offers on the page.
For this, you might want to watch a few YouTube tutorial videos, there are literally hundreds of videos that will show you how to create a Linktree site.
Start commenting on other people’s TikTok posts and respond to other comments as well. Like other people’s work, add it to your favourites. This is one of the fastest ways to gain subscribers, so you can reach the 1000 mark and the “hyperlink” privilege!
Use Chat GPT to come up with the best video titles, descriptions, and tags. But we will be covering that next with the YouTube strategy. The method with Chat GPT remains the same for both platforms, TikTok and YouTube.
Using Chat GPT to rank YouTube videos.
This is where Chat GPT comes in. But many people still don’t get the desired results, and I think I know why. Because I used to have the same problem.
However, I did figure out a way to use Chat GPT and rank page one for ALL the video tags or search phrases used. But I will provide proof soon because it does not stop with Chat GPT, there is a strategy to it.
First, you want to choose the affiliate product you want to promote, for the purpose of this demonstration I used a JV Zoo product called “Video Profit FX”. Your aim is to target people looking for that specific product!
Next, think of a good video title that includes most of your keywords. In this case, something like: “Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales!”. But you are only going to use that as the basis of your research, which comes next.
When you want the best results from Chat GPT, be specific. What precisely is it that you are looking for? I find the following search strategy rather useful with Chat GPT and ranking videos. Type your search as follows.
Now your second, third, and fourth search in Chat GPT may vary from the explanation above. Because you might choose to use a more befitting title suggested by Chat GPT (as illustrated above). See how I used the colon (:) symbol? Because it usually precedes an explanation.
· Best video title: (In this case) Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales.
· Best video description: Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales.
· Best video keywords and search phrases: Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales.
· Best video hashtags: Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales
That way, Chat GPT knows exactly that you are looking for a “best video title”, for that specific phrase (Making Money Online With Video Profit FX And Affiliate Sales). See how that works?
Once you have all that, create your video title, description, hashtags, and keywords in the form of a Word document. Because you are going to copy/paste all the needed content to rank your video from Chat GPT.
Using Canva to create your YouTube video.
Now that you have your video title, description, keywords and search phrases, and video hashtags. You are ready to create your YouTube video, for free with Canva. Still focusing on the name of the product you want to promote.
But why is that? Well, focusing on the product means you are targeting people interested in that specific “thing”. Therefore, your video viewers are much more likely to click the link to the product in your video description.
Use affiliate promotional material and create a compelling video, focusing on the key points and benefits of your affiliate product. Below is an example of such a video, which I made a moment ago, for the purpose of this demonstration.
And the real-time ranking statistics I will reveal shortly.
Just be creative and explain your product as best you can. Focus on the benefits. Use video clips that resonate with the affiliate product you want to promote. But also pay attention to the video thumbnail.
You also want to create an attention-grabbing video thumbnail, indicating precisely what the video is about. In this case, creating animation videos to boost affiliate marketing sales.
Rank videos on Google and YouTube.
Before you know what, your video is ranking for on YouTube. You will need the two browser extensions mentioned earlier (VidIQ and Tube Buddy). Because the ranking statistics on YouTube you are about to see are VidIQ and Tube Buddy video SEO and ranking results.
Now you are going to use the video title, description, keywords and search phrases, and video hashtags you got from Chat GPT to upload your video to YouTube.
Assuming you have now created your YouTube video and video thumbnail with Canva, as we discussed just a moment ago. You have my example video. But if you’re still not sure, then there are several YouTube tutorial videos about Canva video creation.
Once I uploaded my video, using the Chat GPT content, as seen below. The video is ranking for zero of the suggested keywords and search phrases. But this is where the “extra work” I spoke about earlier comes in.
You will see how all these changes to page one position one on YouTube for ALL the suggested search phrases! The below illustration is a screenshot while I was still uploading the video to YouTube, just to be clear.
Once the video is uploaded and live on YouTube. You want to go to the editing part of the video. With Tube Buddy and VidIQ installed, you will be able to see which of the Chat GPT suggested search phrases your video is ranking for.
But before we move on. When uploading your video to YouTube you also want to ensure you set the video language. Video location and caption certification as illustrated below. You will find this on your YouTube video editor page.
Simply click on the options and the drop-down menu will provide you with language and location options. Hashtags are no longer displayed below videos (as far as I have noticed), therefore including a location is recommended. These are very important.
· Video Language.
· Caption Certification.
· Title And Description Language.
· Recording Date.
· Video Location.
· Video License.
With the video license, you can choose to select the “creative commons” license for your video. That means you will allow reuse. In other words, you allow other YouTubers to use your YouTube video.
Above is an illustration of the first result, this is from Tube Buddy. The video is ranking for only a few of the suggested search phrases and keywords by Chat GPT after uploading it to YouTube. But this gives you the basics to work with!
Use these basic search phrases your video is ranking for, and then change the keywords and search phrases around. Focus on the ones your video already ranks for. Be creative.
As illustrated below, for this exact same video I have shuffled the search phrases and keywords accordingly. And voila! Page one rankings in position one for ALL the search phrases and keywords used!
Just for the heck of it, I played around a bit more. And the video rankings increased even more. With more position-one rankings in both VidIQ and Tube Buddy analytics!
Take note of how the affiliate product is focused on throughout the entire process. From title to description, keywords, and hashtags. All related to the affiliate product you wish to promote. Always focus on one affiliate product per video.
As illustrated below, the independent result with Tube Buddy. Ranking position one for almost every possible search phrase, related to the affiliate product.
That way the visitor to this particular video is most probably interested in that specific affiliate product. Choose affiliate products in demand though, ensuring it might be something a lot of people are looking for. But that is just an extra bonus!
As illustrated below, the independent result with VidIQ. Also ranking page one position one for just about all the search phrases around “Video Profit FX”, the affiliate product in this case.
I don’t know about you, but I was blown away by this ranking capability on YouTube. All by using the free version of Chat GPT. But more importantly, adding a simple symbol like the colon (:) Really?
Previously I also used Chat GPT but did not quite get the desired results. By applying this simple approach towards Chat GPT. By being more specific about what precisely it is I am looking for.
Integrating affiliate marketing and sales.
Basically, Linktree is where the “magic happens” with TikTok and affiliate marketing. Providing you with the perfect bridge page for your affiliate offers.
But your content on TikTok plays an important role because you want to be entertaining enough so your video viewers visit your profile. That way you get visitors to your Linktree one-page website from TikTok visitors.
With the YouTube videos you create with this content marketing strategy, you simply include the cloaked affiliate link in the video description. But you also want to add your videos to your Linktree website.
Now you can get visitors from TikTok to your YouTube videos, and your affiliate offers. But you also have options with Your Linktree One Page Website for people to contact you or follow you on major social networking sites.
This is basically a chain-reaction strategy to drive traffic to your affiliate offers. Only this time you have a much more targeted audience!
Word of the wise to affiliate marketers.
When you promote affiliate offers, you want to either purchase or test the product. Or you want to view reviews and testimonials about the product.
Because you must focus on products in demand. Always be sure that your affiliate offer complies with the following.
· Offer a refund guarantee.
· Provide various payment methods including PayPal.
· Check the product’s primary domain.
· Positive review and testimonial videos.
These are crucial elements to making your visitor feel at ease. Knowing they have a “safety net” in the form of a refund guarantee. Just a personal preference, I prefer products that offer several payment options including PayPal especially.
Because with PayPal users know they can dispute a transaction and get refunded if all else fails. All of this is to make your purchaser feel safe, knowing their investment will not be lost.
