Eddi Khaytman on making your first $100 with ElevenLabs’ affiliate program

The average affiliate earns over $8,000 per month, and nearly 80% of brands run a program. Still, getting started — choosing the right program, getting accepted, and building a strategy — can feel overwhelming.

Like any project, the first step matters most. That’s why we asked Eddi Khaytman, a seasoned marketer and one of our top affiliates, to share his advice on earning your first $100 per month with ElevenLabs.

1. Choose products that are in high demand

Eddi discovered that affiliate marketing in the AI space offers strong earning potential. AI platforms evolve quickly, creating demand for fresh content, from feature explainers to tutorial videos and “tips and tricks” guides.

2.  Be More Than an Affiliate — Be a Brand Advocate

If you don’t use or believe in the product you are selling, your audience will sense it. Enthusiasm builds trust and authentically drives conversions. 

Eddi built his affiliate success by promoting tools he actively uses, like ElevenLabs. He creates YouTube videos and detailed blog posts based on his own workflow. 

3. Create value for your audience (and for yourself) 

Eddi runs PromoAmbitions, a tech YouTube channel with 37,000+ subscribers and works as an AI consultant. For him, partnering with an AI voice platform made perfect sense. Mentioning his top-100 affiliate status also boosts credibility during speaking engagements: “I need to learn AI platforms in and out in any case, so it was a win-win scenario to become an affiliate partner for ElevenLabs.”

4. Be a user, not just an affiliate

“I started promoting ElevenLabs because I was genuinely impressed by their AI voice technology,” Eddi says. “It made content creation faster and more dynamic. I used the products myself, so I knew multiple use cases that I could explain to my audience. I could see how it would help others.” 

5. Weave affiliate mentions into educational content 

The best way to drive traffic is by creating content that educates while keeping your audience engaged. Focus on solving problems, answering questions, and clearly showing how to use the product—especially for beginners. “Remember that your viewers might be starting out, so keep your content simple and don’t skip steps.”

Stay on top of platform updates to keep your content accurate and useful. Sign up for affiliate newsletters and follow the brands you promote on social media. Publish guides on new features early on, as being “first” builds credibility. When your audience sees you’re informed and up to date, they’ll return for more, improving both retention and trust.

6. Optimize for discovery 

Great content only works if people can find it. Eddi credits much of his affiliate success to consistent, thoughtful SEO: “As an SEO expert,” Eddi says, “I’ve seen that even those who understand search often take shortcuts, but applying proven SEO consistently is one of the best ways to grow your affiliate income.”

Start by researching the keywords your audience uses when searching for tools like the ones you promote. Optimize your titles, descriptions, and tags for both Google and YouTube. Share your content in relevant forums and online communities, without spamming. Done right, this expands your reach and builds long-term traffic.

For example, Eddi’s “ElevenLabs Tutorial Series” acts as a central hub. It attracts organic traffic, leads to his videos, and drives affiliate clicks, all from a single landing point.

7. Build trust and be patient

Always disclose when you're using affiliate links. If your recommendation feels genuine, your audience will choose to support you by purchasing through your link.

As a seasoned affiliate marketer, Eddi emphasizes that patience is required. “You’re not just promoting a product,” he says. “You’re building a long-term audience, as a creator or a publisher. Every piece of content is a seed and not all of them sprout right away.”
