How to starting Affiliate Marketing

How to Starting Affiliate Marketing

I do affiliate marketing for a living and this post is a for a beginner who wants to get into it. There are main steps you're going to learn: find an affiliate network, find products, and sell products.

I first started by doing Amazon Associates affiliate marketing then branching out to other affiliate networks and more profitable niches. Affiliate marketing is the best source of passive income and has allowed me to live in my dream home and own my dream garage. Make sure to check out my other posts for more!

Here are the basic things you need to start affiliate marketing:

1. An affiliate link people can click so that you can earn a commission. 

2. Place an ad because you're remarketing.

3. Ad networks. You should know how to get your ads out there. Some examples are Facebook ads, Google ads, Youtube ads, Taboola, etc. You can also post your affiliate links on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube channel, and you can even text to someone.

You can also choose many affiliate networks out there like Amazon, eBay, Flipkart, Hotels.com, Walmart, etc. 

For starters, you can use Clickbank. It's easy to use and good for beginners.

How to sell Products

I think I got it figured out. Start a product review blog through WordPress. Don't worry about having the product as long as you leave a disclaimer. And be sure to be forthright as possible. Take good care as to knowing your audience/your products, write your reviews to person and be aware of how to write good sales copy. The step where you want to find affiliate products that are not just profitable but relevant to your niche. You can't promote any product you like because that's not going to work. Relevancy is the key to conversion! The more relevant your offer is to your niche, the higher the chance people will buy from you. This is the time when you would like to look at pages like the Amazon Best Seller list.

How are you setting yourself apart from your competition? How do you want customers to remember you? Branding is an important part of building a sustainable website, no matter how new your site is. Here are five quick tips for building your brand, attracting more customers, and keeping them coming back for more.

Don't forget to add Percent-off sign

How to Start Affiliate Marketing It is very important to add a percentage-off sign or symbol on your products. Produce 1 blog per day for 90 days to fast track your success. Better yet, write all 90 at your leisure and auto post them to your blog over 90 days. To keep people coming back be sure to set up an auto responded plug-in on your blog asking for their email. Hook your customer with an ethical bribe. Promise a free bonus weekly how-to video, a tantalizing pdf with killer information, a newsletter letting them know the latest and greatest coming down the pipe before anyone else, etc.  As long as it's solid, relevant information.

Bring more & more Traffic

After you've got your affiliate product in place, you need to drive traffic to your landing page or your product review page where you have your affiliate links. There is a lot of ways to generate traffic. I wouldn't go deep here. But the two major ways are free traffic and paid traffic. Basically, free traffic is the visitors who come to your website from Google search while paid traffic is visitors come to your website through your paid advertisements. More people to your site, in combination with rich tags/keywords, should boost your SEO score, right? You can also Drive traffic to your blog via leaving thoughtful comments on other bloggers sites in your niche and politely ask for. Maybe a shout out on their blog with a link back to your page, a shout out on twitter, etc with a link back to your blog, hit up facebook pages in your niche doing the same. Ride the coattails so to say of other successful people to trickle traffic back to your blog.

Upon seeing consistent monetary results of your efforts, you compile everything you've learned, every tip, trick, and failure into a how-to affiliate market program. Shoot a 45 min YouTube video amongst a bunch of others subtly advertising your e-course. This course is, of course, available through the link in the description and takes you a completely separate webpage. 

Here you'll see, great copy, proof of authority on the subject, testimonials, the call to action, a couple of P.S.'s for the persons who scroll to the bottom for the price and of course the email grab popup. Which gives you an even bigger list to sell to.
