Warrior Plus has thousands of digital products launching every week, and most affiliates have no idea how to get clicks on their links. They sign up, grab a link, share it on social media, and wonder why nothing happens. In this video breakdown, Alston walks through five proven methods he uses to promote Warrior Plus affiliate offers and actually earn commissions.
These five methods run the full range from fast, launch-based tactics to slower evergreen channel-building. Some you can start today with no budget, and one requires a small investment in keyword research tools. Read through to the end because the method most affiliates skip is the one that produces the most consistent long-term income.

Method 1: Launch Jacking
Launch jacking is the fastest way to get eyes on a Warrior Plus affiliate link. Here is how it works. Super affiliates, people with hundreds of thousands of subscribers on their mailing lists, blast emails the moment a new product goes live. Their subscribers open the email, get curious, and then head to Google or YouTube to learn more before buying. That search gap is exactly where you insert yourself.
The process starts on Warrior Plus. Browse the upcoming launches calendar and find a product that is seven to ten days away from going live. Click on the product’s JV page, which is the page vendors create to recruit affiliates. Read through everything on it. Learn what problem the product promises to solve, what results buyers are supposed to get, and how the offer is structured. That understanding is the foundation for every piece of content you create around the launch.
Then go to YouTube, search the product name, and see what other affiliates have already built. Alston walks through a product called “Copy Paste Profit” and finds YouTube review videos with 30 views from two days ago and 14 views from one hour ago. Those numbers are low because the content is too recent. The creators who published a full week before launch saw better results because vendor emails go out three to four days before launch day, and buyers start searching immediately when those emails land.
Create your YouTube review before the launch, not after. A video published seven days out gets indexed, starts collecting traffic from early searchers, and is already sitting in position when the big email blast hits. Videos published after launch are competing with a wave of other latecomers chasing the same traffic at the same time.
Your review does not need to be a feature-length production. The videos Alston shows in the tutorial are short and focused. The goal is to answer the question the viewer typed into the search bar: does this product solve my problem and is it worth the price? Answer that question honestly, put your affiliate link in the description, and you have a complete launch jacking video that works.
Method 2: Review Blog Posts
Everything described above for YouTube also works in written form. Alston pulls up a Google search for “Copy Paste Profit review” and finds a blog post sitting on a free Google Sites page. No hosting cost, no custom domain. The post is not long, around 2,800 words based on the word counter Alston runs on screen, but it is doing exactly the job of sending buyers through an affiliate link.
The more interesting part of this section is what Alston does next. He takes the blog post’s URL over to Ahrefs and pastes the site into Site Explorer. The site ranks for hundreds of keywords. He then finds a different, larger competitor that has been consistently writing Warrior Plus product reviews and ranks for over 3,000 keywords, pulling traffic numbers in the range of 4,000 to 14,000 visits per month across individual posts. Alston is direct about what this signals: “No person is going to keep doing this if it’s not working.”
If you want to build this kind of review library without writing every post yourself, Alston mentions iWriter as a practical option. You can hire a writer there for around $20 per post. Building a 3,000-keyword site takes volume and time, but the traffic and commission potential are proportional to the scale you build toward.
One tactic Alston highlights deserves its own attention: turn the blog post into a YouTube video and embed the video at the top of the post. He calls this double dipping. Now the same piece of content earns you a YouTube ranking and a blog ranking, and the embedded video increases time-on-page, which helps SEO further. A visitor who lands on the blog post watches the video, then clicks through to the affiliate offer. Two assets working together instead of one doing all the work alone.
Method 3: A Make-Money-Online YouTube Channel
The first two methods produce income quickly, but they have a ceiling. A new product always needs to replace the last one. Old reviews stop getting traffic as products age out of the market. Alston is direct about this constraint. He describes pure launch jacking as “running on a never-ending treadmill.” New product, new video, new blog post, repeat without end.
The alternative is building a YouTube channel around the broader topic of making money online. Instead of creating a video titled “Product X Review,” you create videos titled “10 Ways to Make Money Online” or “Best Side Hustles.” These videos pull search traffic for years, not weeks. Inside those videos, you mention Warrior Plus products that are relevant to whatever problem you are discussing. Your affiliate link goes in the description of an evergreen video that keeps collecting views long after any single launch week is over.
This method requires more patience than launch jacking. You will not rank a new channel for “how to make money online” in the first month. But the compounding effect of adding one new video each week means that six months in, you have 24 pieces of content working simultaneously, each capable of sending commissions from multiple Warrior Plus products. The work compounds; launch jacking does not.
Method 4: Pinterest
Pinterest is one of the most overlooked traffic sources in affiliate marketing, and it works particularly well for Warrior Plus products because the platform’s users are already in a discovery mindset. People on Pinterest are browsing for ideas, solutions, and things worth trying. That matches well with the make-money-online angle that Warrior Plus products sit inside.
Alston demonstrates by searching “Stream Store review” on Pinterest and showing pins that affiliates have created around the product. You create a pin with a compelling image and a short description, then link it to your blog post or YouTube review. Pinterest’s algorithm surfaces pins to users who engage with similar content, which means you can reach people who were never going to find you through YouTube or Google search alone.
The combination that works best is Pinterest driving traffic to a blog post that has your YouTube video embedded and your affiliate link below the video. A pin gets repinned, sends people to your blog, they watch the video, and they click through to the offer. Each platform amplifies the others rather than working in isolation.
Method 5: Facebook Groups and Pages
The fifth method is Facebook, and Alston mentions an opportunity he considers underutilized at the time of filming. The most actionable version of the Facebook strategy is creating a group centered on new business opportunities, side hustles, or ways to make money online. Within that group, you share reviews, recommendations, and useful content related to Warrior Plus products you promote.
Groups build a following faster than pages in many niches because Facebook actively recommends groups to users who engage with similar content. A group titled “New Ways to Make Money Online” can grow to several hundred engaged members in a few months with consistent posting. Those members see your content in their feeds, click your links, and buy products you recommend without you having to chase them down.
Alston also mentions writing long-form posts directly on Facebook. Instead of sending every reader off to an external blog, write the review inside a long-form group post or Facebook note. Some people prefer staying on the platform, and a well-structured Facebook post can reach people who would never find your website through search. Direct calls to action within those posts, with your affiliate link clearly placed, work exactly as they do on any other platform.
The Bonus Strategy That Separates Winners From Everyone Else
Every one of the five methods above becomes more effective when you offer bonuses. But most affiliates get bonuses wrong. They pile on unrelated freebies that have nothing to do with the main product. Alston’s framework is the opposite of that approach.
Start by reading the product’s sales page and JV materials carefully. Identify the weaknesses: what does this product not cover? What skill or resource would a buyer still be missing after they purchase? Then find or create bonuses that fill those gaps. If the product teaches traffic generation but does not cover email list building, offer a free email marketing guide as a bonus. If the product covers strategy but not execution, offer a checklist or template that gives buyers something to act on immediately.
You do not have to create all bonuses from scratch. Alston points to PLR (private label rights) content from sites like plrstore.com. PLR gives you pre-made guides, reports, and mini-courses that you can offer as bonuses without writing them yourself. The key is choosing PLR content that is directly relevant to the product. Alston is also clear that your bonuses should not outshine the main product itself, because at that point you are undermining the reason for the purchase rather than supporting it.
One site Alston reviews on screen offers 24 bonuses for a single product. That is an aggressive stack, but it signals to the buyer that they are getting exceptional value by purchasing through this particular affiliate link rather than any other affiliate promoting the same product. Buyers with multiple links to choose from will often pick the affiliate who provides the best bonus stack, regardless of who published content first.

Using Ahrefs to Find Keywords Competitors Are Already Ranking For
This section of the video is worth studying carefully because Alston describes a repeatable research process, not a one-time tactic. The workflow goes like this.
Find a competitor who is already writing Warrior Plus product reviews. Take their blog’s URL and plug it into Ahrefs Site Explorer. Open the organic keywords report. You will see every keyword the site ranks for, the traffic each keyword sends, and how competitive each keyword is. Alston finds a site ranking for 3,000-plus keywords, many of them Warrior Plus product names, with competition scores under 10. A competition score under 10 means you can realistically outrank that content with a more thorough, better-structured post.
From there, the process is repeatable: pick the highest-traffic, lowest-competition keywords, find the products those keywords refer to, apply for the affiliate program on Warrior Plus, write a better review than what is currently ranking, and publish. “Better” means longer and more useful, more honest about what the product does and does not deliver, and with a stronger bonus stack than what the existing post offers.
Alston specifically calls out that the most successful review sites have long posts with careful formatting, not thin 500-word summaries. The site he walks through has 2,800-plus word posts with detailed sections and substantial bonus information included. You do not need to be a professional writer to do this. You need to read the product’s sales page and JV materials, review what already ranks, and produce something more complete than the current result.
Honest Drawbacks of the Launch Jacking Model
Alston is clear about the limitation that comes with relying entirely on launch jacking: it never stops. Every week demands a new product, a new video, a new blog post. Older content loses value as products age out of the market. The site ranking well today for “Copy Paste Profit review” will see that traffic drop when buyers stop actively searching for that specific product name.
This is why Alston recommends running launch jacking alongside the longer-term YouTube channel strategy rather than treating them as alternatives. Use launch jacking for income in the near term while you build the evergreen channel in parallel. The quick commissions fund the time you spend on longer-form content. Once the channel builds an audience and search rankings, it sends commissions from older videos while you add new content at a pace you can sustain.
There is also an approval issue worth knowing about. Not every vendor on Warrior Plus will approve a brand-new affiliate with no track record. Some vendors are selective, particularly on larger launches. The practical fix is to start with smaller, newer launches where the vendor needs affiliates and will approve most applicants. Once you have a few sales logged on your Warrior Plus account, bigger vendors become much more receptive to approving you.
A Step-by-Step Starting Plan
- Create a free Warrior Plus account and browse the upcoming launches calendar to find a product going live in 7 to 10 days.
- Read the product’s sales page and JV page to understand exactly what problem it promises to solve and what results buyers expect.
- Apply for an affiliate link. If you are brand new, apply to two or three products simultaneously so at least one vendor is likely to approve you.
- Go to plrstore.com and find two or three PLR products that address gaps the main product does not cover. These become your affiliate bonuses.
- Record a short YouTube review. Structure it around the problem the product solves, what you learned from the sales and JV materials, what bonuses you are including, and where to get the product through your link.
- Write a 1,500 to 2,800 word review blog post covering the same material. Embed your YouTube video at the top and include your affiliate button below it.
- Create a Pinterest pin that links to your blog post, using an image that communicates the problem the product solves.
- Share the blog post in a Facebook group you own or belong to around making money online or new business opportunities.
- Repeat this process for one or two new products each week until you have a library of review content and a Warrior Plus account with documented sales history.
- Once you have a working review library, start your evergreen make-money-online YouTube channel alongside the launch-jacking work so both are running at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Warrior Plus?
Warrior Plus is a marketplace for digital products, primarily focused on make-money-online tools, software, courses, and templates. Vendors list their products and set commission rates, typically between 50 and 100 percent of the front-end sale price. Affiliates apply to promote individual products and earn a commission each time a referred buyer completes a purchase. It is similar to ClickBank but tends to feature lower-priced front-end offers with multi-step upsell funnels behind them.
Do I need to purchase a product before I can review it?
You do not have to buy the product to write a review, but your review will be more credible if you have actually used it. Many vendors offer review access to affiliates who ask. When you apply for an affiliate link, mention in your application that you plan to create a review video and blog post and ask whether a review copy is available. Some will say yes. If not, you can create a research-based review using the sales page, JV materials, and user feedback already available online, but label it accordingly.
What exactly is launch jacking?
Launch jacking is the practice of creating content about a product before or at the time of its launch, in order to capture search traffic from buyers who heard about the product through vendor marketing and are searching for more information before deciding to purchase. The approach works because vendors drive awareness through email but cannot fully satisfy buyer curiosity through email alone. Content creators who fill that gap with review videos and blog posts intercept the traffic that awareness generates.
How early should I publish my launch jacking content?
Alston recommends publishing your review content about a week before the official launch date. Vendors typically begin their pre-launch email sequences three to four days before the product goes live, which means potential buyers start searching at that point. A video or blog post that is already indexed by the time those searches begin will consistently outperform content created on launch day or after.
What kinds of bonuses should I offer with my affiliate link?
Offer bonuses that fill the gaps left by the main product. If the product teaches traffic generation, add a bonus about converting that traffic into email subscribers. If the product covers a technical skill, add something that shows how to apply that skill to a specific platform or use case. Avoid bonuses that are completely unrelated to what the buyer just purchased. PLR content from sites like plrstore.com gives you pre-made material that costs little to acquire and can be offered immediately as part of your bonus stack.
Can I promote Warrior Plus products without owning a website?
Yes. YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook all support affiliate link promotion without a website. YouTube is the strongest no-website option because videos rank in both YouTube and Google search results simultaneously. If you want a web presence without paying for hosting, Google Sites is a free option that lets you publish basic review pages, as Alston demonstrates in this video. A paid hosting setup with a real domain gives you more long-term control, better performance, and stronger ranking potential, but you can start without it.
How do I get approved as a Warrior Plus affiliate for a specific product?
Click the affiliate link button on the product’s Warrior Plus listing and submit a request. Most vendors require a short explanation of how you plan to promote the product. Describe your YouTube channel, blog, or social platform and what kind of content you plan to create. New affiliates with no sales history should target smaller, newer launches where vendors are actively recruiting affiliates and approving most applicants. A few completed sales on your Warrior Plus account makes future approvals significantly easier on larger launches.
Is Warrior Plus affiliate marketing still worth doing?
Warrior Plus remains an active marketplace with new products launching regularly. The fundamentals Alston covers in this video, launch jacking, review content creation, evergreen channel building, and bonus stacking, are methods that work as long as people search online for product reviews before buying. Competition level varies by product. Some launches attract dozens of affiliates creating nearly identical review videos. Others have little competition and are wide open for someone willing to create thorough, honest content. Volume and consistency produce results here more reliably than any single product choice.
