opportunity of building pdf

online and creating passive income this
is video number two out of a four part
series where i'm showing you how to
actually create income by selling books
online so this video i'm going to be
showing you how to actually set up
system dot io and just to give you a
heads up uh if you click on the link
below the video there's you're going to
see a couple of links the first one is
going to be a link where you can sign up

access to some video trainings that i
created the first one on how to use
system.io the second one on how to make
money by telling other people about
system dot io you can build income in
those two ways and then also if you are
interested in actually selling books
online you want to learn like everything
here i'm just giving you a brief insight
in these four different videos but you
want in-depth training on like for
example how to actually write the book
and like in terms of how to actually
build a brand and people to actually
know you for selling books or the one
particular book that you want to release
i've got a course that's uh is actually
on sale and then you can just click on
the link below to find out more details
about it but this video is free
everything i'm going to show you right
now let's get into system.io
so like i mentioned it's a tool that you
can use to to actually
um set up everything that you need so
that you have an automated business and
you are making money while you sleep so
you're going to have to have a
you're going to have to have a funnel
and the funnel looks like this a funnel
is basically
um a couple of pages put together plus
automation the first one is what's
called the sales page these arrows here
represent people visiting your sales
page people coming to
find
out more details about your book and the
sales page is just a page that has got
all the details that someone needs to
know about your book for example this is
the one of the books that i sell it's
called how to make your first 1 000
online using drop servicing so the sales
page has got this heading that just
describes what it's about it's got an
image of the box for the button for
people to buy
and then it's got all the details that
someone would need to know so that they
can make a decision to buy the book
after someone sees this and then they
want to buy they click on buy now and
then they come to what's called a check
out page a checkout page is where they
enter their credit card details and it
it can look like something like this
where they're just going to put the like
that's the amount that they're going to
be paying you can choose whatever price
you want and then you they enter their
credit card details or they pay with
paypal and they also you also take on
they take you collects their their
details
after that you then could get taken they
get taken to a page which is called a
thank you page
uh and this is basically a page that
tells them that okay congratulations
we've received your details we received
your money now go and check your email
it's telling them exactly what to do the
reason why you want to do that is
because people don't know what happens
next so you need to tell them what
happens next and they must go to their
email and check the email you
automatically send them an email that
has got a link for them to download the
pdf book and once you have the email it
also presents other opportunities for
you to market as much as possible so i
want to show you how to set up all this
in system.io this is going to help you
have an automated
system so when you're in system.oh this
is what your dashboard looks like and
you just simply come here where it says
menu and then you scroll down to it says
funnels
you click on funnels and then as you can
see my finals are empty i'm going to
click on create
then i'm going to name the funnel
according to what i want it to be i've
got a funnel in mind i'm going to call
it the affiliate
um
blueprint right and then i then choose
what type of funnel i want it to be do
you want to build an audience sell
custom
running or an evergreen i'm going to go
with a sell because i want to sell a pdf
then there's an option here to choose
your currency currently it's on us
dollars i'm going to stick to us dollars
i'm based in south africa but i'm going
to use u.s dollars because south africa
is not there at the moment if you get my
trainings the free trainings that i'm
offering i actually teach you how to
then convert this insurance and get the
money into your bank account so you want
to get that once i've done that i click
on create
and then it's going to automatically
create a funnel for me
and so
right here to the left are the options
that will
be there so the first one that that has
been created is an order form and then a
thank you page remember order form is
this yellow one here and then the thank
you page i now need a sales page right
so i'm going to come here it says create
a step
click on create a step and then i name
the sales page i'm just going to name it
affiliate blueprint right and then i
come here where it says type
i am going to scroll down until i get to
where it says sales page i click on
sales page and then i save
and then as you can see automatically
there's now the affiliate blueprint
option here and over here in the middle
there these are different templates that
i can use but before i go there i want
to make sure that i take affiliate
blueprint and i drag it all the way to
the top because remember the order that
i showed you the first thing that people
will see is the sales page if you don't
drag it to the top the first thing they
will see is the order form so it's now
at the top then i come here in the
center and i can choose whatever
template i want to use they give you
these amazing templates like i can just
preview that i can just preview that
just to show you what it looks what
these different templates uh look like
right
so
these are basic
they have already created it for you all
you just need to do is go in there and
just edit edit the text edit the images
and edit the colors and just make it
your own
as you can see these are just beautiful
templates that have already been created
for you
um these really really look amazing they
really look like world-class websites
as you can see so you just simply choose
the one that you like and then you
decide and then you just start editing
it so i'm just going to come and choose
let me say um
this one
i'm just going to click on select
and then
i come here the first thing that i need
to do is make sure that the name is
correct and then i change the the url
the url is the link that people will see
there are people who use in order to
gain access to your page and notice here
it says https marshall.system.io
this is the url that system.io will give
you but what you would want to do is
that you want to have a professional url
for example
marshallmalava.com forward slash then i
can change this to affiliate grouping
affiliate
blueprint right i would want to have my
own link
here in order for you to do that what
you need to do is that you need to
upgrade your account uh i think the
first option that's available is is for
27 uh you'll be paying that every single
month why would you want to pay and not
use the free uh platform i'm not saying
that you cannot use the free you can use
the free but firstly it looks more
professional if you have got your own
domain name people it's find it easier
to trust you because you're an
established business you don't want to
trust your money to a business that
cannot afford to buy their own domain
that's the thinking that people have so
maybe maybe you want to make a couple of
sales first then you pay for this it's
still fine but that's the thing that you
need to have and secondly by upgrading
you gain more options and i'll show you
some other options that you you get when
you have upgraded uh that you can't
access when you're using the free so
anyway now you've got your link there
you make sure the link is correct there
uh you come here where it says edit page
you click on edit page
right and then this is where you are
going to start editing the page and
making it your own you just simply come
in here and you just click on something
to edit it for example where it says
sleep safe and sound i just click there
i can highlight all the text and then i
can change this affiliate
blue print as you can see as simple and
as easy as that i can come to this next
one this sub text here
just highlight all of it and say
uh learn
how to
make
passive
income
through
[Music]
affiliate
marketing
obviously you would have thought through
exactly what you want to write on your
page so that's what you're going to be
populating uh in here and maybe just to
give you an idea of what exactly you
might want to write one model that a lot
of people use for writing sales pages
what's called the ada
uh model it's basically
these are just images but it's attention
interest desire action you need to have
something that gains people's attention
and then you build interest and talk
about their desires and then lead them
to action like for example mine here is
um
as you can see i try and get people's
attention how to make your first or next
one thousand dollars online this is this
sounds nice for everyone right but then
when i start explaining that is through
drop servicing that's when i start
narrowing down and focusing on specific
people it's not for everyone it's for
people who understand what drop
servicing is
uh okay so that's just an example of how
you edit the text right if i want to
change the font size i just
just make sure that the text is
highlighted i come here
to the left as you can see i can
increase the font size just by simply
dragging that right if i want to change
the line height
as you can see i can just drag that
as simple and as easy as that
it's not difficult at all it's just
super simple if i want to change like
the
what's this the button here watch demo
obviously i want to change that to buy
now so i'm just going to click on the
button and then i scroll down to where i
can find the text
um
typography watch demo i'm going to
change that to
by
now as you can see automatically it
responds and changes i love to use red
so i just scroll down to it says
background color i che i click on the
color there
and then i move this icon here
until i get to the red that i want
bang
simple as easy as that if i want to make
this button bigger
all i have to do is i look for where it
says font size
as you can see
and then i can just drag this to the
right
as you can see and it's getting bigger
and i'm making it the way that i want it
to look if i want to change the
background as you can see they're babies
here what do those babies have to do
with affiliate marketing i just simply
click on the background right i click
once and then i scroll
and then i can come here i can choose a
color background color
right or i can choose an image right now
it's set on using an image so to change
this i can just
click on that and automatically it's
been deleted and then i can click on
that arrow on the mountain pointing up
so that i can select a file from my
desktop i just simply select a file just
like that or maybe if i've got some
images already saved in the system
i just
on your i click on your images and then
i select the image that i want and then
i just insert as you can see the image
is automatically
inserted as simple and as easy as that
i can come here i can edit any detail
there's nothing here that you cannot
edit if i want to change this i want to
put like maybe the image of my product i
just click on the image and then i come
here to that upload button there i
select the file
right
obviously i get a graphic designer to
design
the book for me and make it look nice it
can be a 3d format like as you can see
mine is is like in a 3d format this is
more for 2d format
there it is right if i want to change
the size i just click on the image i
come here
and image size
i reduce the size so that it fits in
nicely if i want my image to be the left
to the left i put it to the left i want
it to be the center i put in the center
as simple and as easy as that i just
come in here and i edit anything that i
want to make it look the way that i that
i like if i don't like these icons or
whatever these things are maybe i don't
want them i just simply hover over them
and i click on delete are you sure you
want to delete yes
next one i show you want to delete yes
next one i sure you want to delete yes
etc etc it works as simple as that so
you come in here you edit everything
that you want and one important thing
that you must make sure that you do is
on the buttons
you just
click on buy now right and then where it
says here
action when button is clicked i want you
to change that to next step
right and then you save why do you want
to do that because remember the format
that i showed you that this is how the
pages are going to appear you want to
make sure that when the button is
clicked it goes to the next step here on
the sales page when the button is
clicked it must go then to the checkout
page so by clicking on that you are
enabling it to do that so now if i
preview right now and i say
buy now what happens
thank you this page is displayed because
a thank you page was not defined the
reason why it's saying this is because i
have not yet built another page or i
have not yet built the next step but now
when we build the next step you see that
it's actually going to work so i'm going
to then come here when i'm done editing
my whole page
i'm going to exit there and then i'm
back here
so remember the button wasn't working
it's because i have not yet built up my
order form so i come here and i click on
order form
right and then the same process again i
just simply choose a template and i edit
it for now i'm just going to go for the
simplest one i'm going to click on this
one click select
right i can edit the name there
the url link and i can edit the name
there
and then
i come in here and i start editing i
change the name there if i want to put
my face there i want to put my logo i
can do that
i can come here and change the details
if do i want to receive all the details
do i want to get the zip code no i don't
want to receive the zip code i simply
delete that do i want to choose the
country no i don't want to know about
the country i simply delete that then as
you can see here there are two options
there's pay with credit card and then
let's pay with paypal what you would
need to do also is you need to go back
into like your your your settings like
when you're on the main dashboard you
can go to the settings and then you will
find the option to actually
link up your paypal and your
and your and your stripe and i actually
teach that in the in the training that's
available
all right so you just simply set this up
once you are done save changes
right and then you move on to the next
thing if i go back there to affiliate
blueprint
and then i click on preview
right
and then now if i click on buy now as
you can see now it goes to the next step
which is the
checkout page why because it has now
been set up
the next thing that you then need to set
up after the order form or the checkout
page is the thank you page you come in
here again and you choose a template now
there are there are fewer templates in
here because there are not too many
options that you have anyway but one of
the two options that you see here is
this one where it says you have
successfully signed up get your download
here and then there's a button and
people can download i do not recommend
using this one why because you should
use the next one i'm going to select
this one
and
obviously the same process again the
name the url and then we're going to
just edit the page why do i say you
should use this one and not the next
option you want to make sure thank you
your ids have been sent by email you're
obviously going to change this you want
to make sure that you are telling people
to go and check their email the reason
why you're doing that is because you
want people to get accustomed to opening
your email right so when they get
accustomed to opening your email it
makes it easier for you to market
student right so if you just allow
people to download once and then
tomorrow you want to promote another
product to them they may never know who
you are so they should get used to
receiving your email plus also this
allows you to talk about other things
for example here this page is saying
join our facebook group you might have a
facebook group that you want them to
join or you might have another product
that you want to promote you can do that
on this thank you page so once you set
up your thank you page once again you
save changes and then you exit so
automatically now you've got a
sales page when someone clicks on the
sales page they go to the order form or
the checkout page
from the checkout page they go to the
thank you page right so we are
practically done with our um
our sales funnel but remember the next
thing that we then need are the
automations or the emails to be sent out
automatically so what you need to do is
you click on the order form
and then you click here where it says
automation rules
right and then you click on add rule
right so in other words we're going to
make it automatic so that while you're
sleeping someone buys they automatically
get an email without you having to be
there
okay
so i'm going to click on
new cell but before i talk about that
one day this one which says page visited
these automation rules are so cool
because let's say someone visits your
page and they liked what they saw but
they didn't buy right and then they said
no or maybe i'll buy tomorrow or i don't
have money now i'll do it later then
obviously you know people forget this
allows you to send reminders reminding
emails to people who visit your base but
they don't buy right so that's one of
the automation rules that you would also
need to set up but you can only do that
when your account is upgraded so that
you can have more options to do that
okay so then here there is new sale i'm
going to click on new cell and now when
someone has bought what should happen
next that's what auto automation rules
means i'm going to click on add action
and then there is this option which says
send email and then there's this option
we say subscribe to an email for now i'm
going to use this one we say send email
but subscribe to to a campaign simply
means that maybe you already created
like an email campaign right uh a series
of emails like day one here's your your
pdf book but day number two now you're
talking about something else and you're
promoting maybe some other offers that
you have that's what's called an email
campaign so you may want to set that up
that's how you build an online business
but here i'm going to just use send an
email because this one allows you to
instantly send one email so
now
that has been set but what is the email
like i mentioned if you already have got
a campaign you can choose here what the
campaign name is or i can come here and
click on this
um pen here and then i name my campaign
subject affiliates
now let me say
here
is your affiliate marketing blueprint
ebook right and then i write the message
hey
so and so maybe if i want their name to
be automatically populated i can just
scroll here
where there is available substitutes i
copy that meaning that
whatever their name
this is the system just automatically
going to write them
write the name so there hey first name
and then the name is written
here
is your
ebook
say click
click here to download right
then obviously i sign off whatever kind
of records or whatever marshall right so
since i said clicking to download i can
highlight the text
and then i'll just click on here link
control so all i then have to do is like
let's say maybe i'm hosting
the
the pdf
on maybe a google drive or whatever
i can just then just put the link here
so that when someone
i'm just gonna put some fake address
there when someone sees this they will
click on it and then automatically they
will download that link the other option
is for you to add an attachment you can
just say um please find your book
attached and then you add an attachment
you
click on choose file and then you locate
wherever it is on the desk and then once
you are done that you simply click on
save but before you do that you need to
select where is this email coming from
or who is sending this email i have to
write uh marshall my like marshall
either my first name or just like in
info once i'm done
save
and you now have got a complete funnel
what's going to happen when someone
comes to your page
they're going to click the button
automatically they get taken to this
page where they enter their credit card
details credit card details they get
taken to a thank you page
thank you page tells them to go and
check their email they then check their
and then
next step is they download the pdf and
then they have got access to your
content your pdf you have made money the
money has now gone into your account and
