To get started, you'll need to set up an affiliate link. Here's how:

1. Get a 30-Day Free Trial: Go to shi.com and enter your email to get a 30-day free trial of the tool we'll be using, Go High Level.

2. Find Your Affiliate Portal: Once you have your account, log in and look for the "Affiliate Portal" section. This is where you can find your unique affiliate link.

3. Copy Your Affiliate Link: Locate your affiliate link in the portal and copy it. This link will be used to track any sales or signups that come through your referral.

Now that you have your affiliate link, you're ready to start building your landing page and automation.

Setting Up Your Landing Page

1. Create a Sub-Account: In your Go High Level dashboard, create a new "Sub-Account". This will give you a separate space to build your landing page and automation.

2. Build Your Landing Page: In your Sub-Account, click on "Sites" and then "Funnel" to create a new landing page. You can use a pre-made template or build one from scratch.

3. Add Your Affiliate Link: In the landing page editor, find the button or link where you want to send people, and paste in your affiliate link.

4. Create an Opt-In Form: Add an opt-in form to your landing page so you can capture leads. You can keep this simple with just a name and email field.

Setting Up Your Automation

1. Create an Automation Workflow: In your Sub-Account, go to "Automation" and create a new workflow. This will allow you to automatically follow up with your new leads.

2. Set the Trigger: Configure the workflow to trigger whenever a new contact is created (i.e., someone fills out your opt-in form).

3. Write Your Welcome Email: Craft a simple, friendly email to send to new subscribers. You can use the contact's first name to personalize the message.

And that's it! You now have your affiliate link set up, a landing page ready to capture leads, and an automation to follow up with new subscribers.

Remember, the key is to keep testing and iterating. Don't be afraid to experiment with different landing page designs, opt-in offers, and email sequences. The more you refine your system, the better your results will be.

To create a landing page, follow these steps:

1. Get an Affiliate Link: First, you need to get an affiliate link for the product you want to promote. You can do this by signing up for an affiliate program with the tool or product you want to promote. Once you have an account, you can find your unique affiliate link in the affiliate portal.

2. Create a Sub-Account: Inside your high-level account, create a new sub-account. This will give you a place to build your landing page and capture leads.

3. Build the Landing Page: In your sub-account, click on "Sites" and then "Funnel" to create a new landing page. You can start from a blank page or use one of the pre-made templates.

4. Design the Page: Add a headline, a button that links to your affiliate link, and a form to capture the visitor's name and email address. You can customize the design and layout as needed.

5. Set Up the Automation: Create an automation workflow that will trigger an email to be sent to anyone who submits the form on your landing page. This allows you to start building a relationship with your new leads.

6. (Optional) Connect a Domain: If you want, you can purchase a domain and connect it to your landing page to make it look more professional.

The key is to create a simple, effective landing page that captures leads and allows you to follow up with them automatically. This will help you build an audience and start generating affiliate sales over time.

Remember, the goal is to create a system that can run on its own and bring you consistent revenue. Take the time to set this up properly, and it will pay dividends down the road.

Now that you have your affiliate link and landing page set up, the next step is to set up email automation. This is crucial for building relationships with your leads and turning them into sales.

Here's how to do it:

1. Create a New Workflow: In your account, click on "Automation" and then "Create Workflow" to start from scratch.

2. Set the Trigger: The trigger will be "Whenever a contact is created". This means the automation will fire whenever someone submits their information on your landing page.

3. Add an Email Action: Click "Add Action" and select "Send Email". This is where you'll craft your first email to new leads.

4. Personalize the Email: Use the contact's first name in the email by using the "Custom Value" option to insert their "Contact First Name". The email should be friendly and introduce yourself, while also highlighting the product you're promoting.

   Here's an example:

   Hey [Contact First Name],

   I see you checked out my favorite AI tool. I'm really excited you're interested!

   This tool has been a game-changer for me, and I'd love to tell you more about how it can help you [benefit of the product].

   Let me know if you have any questions - I'm here to help!

   Cheers, [Your Name]

5. Fill Out the Email Details: Add a subject line, your name in the "From" field, and the email address you want to send it from.

6. Save and Publish the Automation: Name your automation and click "Save and Publish" to make it live.

Now, whenever someone submits their information on your landing page, they'll automatically receive your first email. This is the start of building a relationship and turning them into a customer.

Remember, the key is to provide value and genuinely help your leads, not just pitch them. Over time, as you continue to nurture the relationship, you'll be able to effectively promote your affiliate offers.
