The first step when getting started with affiliate
marketing is to choose a niche.
When choosing your niche make sure it has a huge
demand and high profit margins.
Also, your niche should be something that you are
interested in or are passionate about. Many people
make the mistake of choosing a niche just because of
high profit margins but they don’t personally enjoy it.
Remember the goal here is to do what you love and
to also make money while doing it.
STEP 2: Choose an excellent product to
promote
The second step is to find an excellent product to
promote.
The product that you are promoting should be
something that your niche/audience will be
interested in.
Example:
If you are in the “Dog Training” niche, you should
promote a “How to train your dog - online
course/ebook” instead of promoting “beauty
products”.
STEP 3: Choose a traffic source/platform
The third step is to choose a traffic source or platform
to promote your affiliate product & send people to
your affiliate link.
It doesn’t matter how good the product is, if people
do not see it. You need a constant stream of targeted
people seeing your product/offer.
This is how you make sales & affiliate commissions.
More traffic = more sales = more money for you
There are multiple traffic sources and platforms to
choose from, example: Facebook, Instagram, Youtube
etc.
Other than this you can also start a blog and write
articles etc.
As a beginner you should stick to 1 traffic source until
you are generating at least 1 sale per day.
After this, if required you can branch out into other
traffic sources/platforms.
STEP 4: Add value & build your brand
The fourth step is to add value and build your brand.
You can do this by using a process called “Content
Marketing”. Content marketing basically means that
you create free content that your niche/audience is
interested in.
Example: If you are in the “Dog Training” niche, you
can make free videos on Youtube about “How to train
your dog” etc.
By adding value and providing free content to your
audience, you are actually building trust and a loyal
following of engaged fans.
The more your audience relate to and trust you, the
higher chance that they will buy a product/service
that you recommend i.e your affiliate product.
STEP 5: Build an automated sales funnel
The fifth step is to build an automated sales funnel
which is capable of making you money while you
sleep.
An automated sales funnel basically nurtures leads
and turns them into sales.
Remember? More sales = more commissions = more
money for you
There are 3 main things you will need to build an
automated sales funnel:
OptIn/Squeeze page: This is a single page which is
highly focused on only 1 action i.e you want to convert
visitors into leads (collect email addresses).
Email marketing platform: T his is a software (free &
paid options available) that is used to build and save a
list of all the email addresses you have collected using
the optin page.
Email sales funnel/automation: W ithin your email
marketing platform, you will have an option to create
and setup automated email sequences that are
designed to nurture your leads and convert them into
sales.
And those are The 5 Steps To Making Money With
Affiliate Marketing.
Congratulations… What’s next?
Congratulations for making it this far! You are already
taking action and investing in yourself.
Most people only dream about success but don’t take
action, so you are already one step closer to success!
“Take action! An inch of movement will bring you
closer to your goals than a mile of intention”.
