There are several ways that you can get started in affiliate marketing. You can choose to sell information products, or you can sell physical products.

The information products are easy to learn how to use and will provide you with a good income. Physical products will require more work and more money to start.

When you start an affiliate program you will have to find the product that you want to sell. You will also have to find a website that is willing to host your link. You will also have to drive traffic to this site so that it will sell.

 

If you are interested in making a lot of money, then you will need to do some research to find the best products. You will want to look at the product reviews and see what others are saying about the product. This will give you an idea of whether or not the product is worth promoting.

It is important that you know the product before you try to promote it. You should also find out how much commission you will receive if you sell a certain product.

YouTube Videos

My Partner for instance likes does 3D printing as a hobby and he likes to make the redesign and fine-tune the capabilities and usability of the printers by adding computerised features, cooling systems and enclosures or casings to the printers, so he started creating YouTube videos detailing how he has modified his printers, the companies from where he got the printers approached him and offered him free printers and commission because they noticed people buying due to his videos.

The enclosure companies asked him for feedback which when he gave earned him some commission. So if you have valuable contribution to someone’s business or product you can get rewarded immensely. Most of the time the rewards come easily when you are just enjoying the process without being heavily invested in the end result. Check out my partner’s YouTube channel here.  Like and Subscribe!

Play The long Game

Most people get into Affiliate marketing or online marketing with the idea that it’s easy, and a quick way of making money while you sleep, yes it can be, after you have done the work of setting up a system that works. It’s not easy to make money online when you don’t know what you are doing.

There are a lot of marketers online who are happy to reap the rewards of other people’s ignorance by selling them done-for-you programs without teaching them the fundamentals of online marketing or affiliate Marketing.  This is the virus that causes the “Shiny Object Syndrome”, because although you know that the concept of Affiliate Marketing works but it’s just not working for you as it’s working for them.  So you keep trying different things, hoping that something will finally work for you.    Of course this tactic keeps them wiser than you are and you promote their ready made products and they keep making more money,  you make little or  none at all.  Believe me, it not your fault.

You can make money with done-for you programs but not if you stay blind to the mechanics of what makes it all work, learn how to be an online marketer and even if you are promoting someone else’s done-for you program, you at least understand what you are doing.
