Affiliate marketing is a powerful way for beginners to start earning money online. In this blog post, we’ll go through a tutorial on how to start affiliate marketing in 2024, with a proven strategy that’s been working for many. By the end of this post, you’ll have a solid understanding of what affiliate marketing is, why it’s a great opportunity, and how to get started.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing where you promote other people’s or company’s products and earn a commission if people actually end up buying thanks to your marketing. It’s based on revenue sharing.
Why Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing has several advantages for beginners:
1. Low risk and cost: You don’t need to create or hold inventory or even handle customer service.
2. Passive income: Once you’ve set up your marketing, it can continue to earn you money without much additional work.
3. Flexibility: You can work from anywhere and choose which products to promote.
Big Companies With Affiliate Programs
Many big companies have affiliate programs, including:
– Amazon Associates – eBay Partner Network – Walmart.com Affiliate Program – Target Affiliate Program – …and many more!
How to Find Affiliate Programs
You can find affiliate programs by:
1. Googling “[company name] affiliate program”
2. Checking out affiliate networks like ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, or FlexOffers
3. Asking companies directly if they have an affiliate program
How to Join Affiliate Programs
Joining an affiliate program usually involves:
1. Applying through the affiliate program’s website
2. Getting approved (some programs have specific requirements)
3. Getting your affiliate links
How to Get Your Affiliate Links
Once you’ve joined an affiliate program, you’ll get a unique affiliate link. You can find this link in your affiliate account, usually in the “links” or “promotion” section.
What Kind of Content to Make
Creating valuable content is key to successful affiliate marketing. Here are some content ideas:
Product reviews: Share your honest opinion about a product you’ve used
Tutorials: Show people how to use a product or solve a problem
Comparisons: Compare different products and help people choose
Outdated Social Media Strategy
An outdated strategy for promoting affiliate links is to spam them on social media. This doesn’t work well because people are tired of seeing random promotions and it can even harm your reputation.
NEW Search Traffic Strategy
A better strategy is to focus on **search traffic**. This means creating content that answers people’s questions and appears in search results. When people find your content, they’re more likely to trust you and click on your affiliate links.
How Do You Get Paid?
Affiliate programs have different payment structures. Some pay per sale, others per lead, and some per click. Make sure to understand the payment structure before joining a program.
