What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is when you earn a commission for the online promotion of another company’s product or service.

Essentially, affiliate marketers perform online marketing on behalf of a merchant, with the ultimate goal of driving traffic and conversions for the merchant’s product. For every click or conversion earned, the affiliate is paid by the merchant.

For example, if someone is selling a product for $100 and it's paying a 50% commission for each sale, then that means you earn $50 for every sale you make.
The reason why so many people like affiliate marketing is that all you need to worry about is getting the actually traffic.

You don’t need to worry about creating the product or the back end payment processing and refunds it’s all taken care of by the merchant.

From there they pay you your commissions minus any refunds generally every 30 days unless otherwise started in there terms.

Now not all payments are the result of a sale. Some programs can reward you for leads, free-trial users, clicks to a website, or getting downloads for an app or completing a call to action.

This is called CPA marketing and is used by companies to get leads usually for a very low price and from there they will attemp to upsell them to a higher tiered products.

For Example, as an affiliate you may promote a survey offer where a company is looking to find out what insurer people prefer in the United States, anyone that completes that survey and provides their email you could earn anything from $0.10 to $2 each time.

Types of Affiliate Marketing

Unattached

The first type of affiliate marketing is referred to as “unattached,” or when you have no authority in the niche of the product you’re advertising.

There is no connection between you and the customer.

Often you are running pay-per-click advertising campaigns with your affiliate link and hoping people will click it, buy the product, and earn a commission.

Unattached affiliate marketing is attractive because you don’t need to do any legwork.

Affiliate marketing businesses rely on reputation and trust with a target audience online.

Some don’t have the time or desire to build those relationships, so this type of
marketing is their best option.

“Unattached affiliate marketing I would say isn’t a genuine business model, or not the best way to start in my opinion.

It’s for people who just want to generate income.

Related

Related affiliate marketing is where you promote products and services you don’t use, but that are related to your niche.

Affiliates in this case have an audience, whether it’s through blogging, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or another Social Media channel/platform.

They have influence, which makes them a trusted source for recommending products, even if they’ve never used it before.

The problem with related affiliate marketing is, do you want to promote something you’ve never tried before?

It could be the worst product or service ever and you wouldn’t even know.

It only takes one bad recommendation to lose the trust of your audience.

If you don’t have trust and transparency, it’ll be hard to build a sustainable affiliate marketing business.

PRO TIP: If you do decide to go down this path make sure you do as much research as possible on the product before you go out and promote it!

Involved

Involved affiliate marketing refers to only recommending products and services you’ve used and truly believe in.

Involved affiliate marketing in my opinion is the best way to get started especially when you have an audience that believes in what you are telling them.

In this type of marketing, you use your influence to promote products and services that followers may actually need, instead of paying to get clicks on a banner ad.

It takes more time to build this type of credibility with an audience, but it’s necessary to build a sustainable business.

With this type of affiliate marketing it becomes much easier for you to convert products as your audience wll know and trust what you are telling them.

On top of that you are more likely to get repeat sales and customers and keep your audience long term.

You will find that most of the biggest affiliate marketers and Influencers use this method as honesty and integrity for them is really important and maintaining a trustworthy brand.

For this reason they will only ever promote products they truely believe in or use themselves and this would be my number option for you as someone starting out.

So now that we have touched on the types of affiliate marketing and how important the products are, lets take a look at where you can go as a brand new affiliate marketer to actually find some products to promote and what are some popular niches that you should look into.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Choosing the best and most profitable affiliate marketing niche is a challenge faced by almost all new affiliate marketers.

And if you plan to make money through affiliate marketing, it is a long-term and strategic decision. So think well before choosing.

Here are a few tips to guide you in your thinking process,

Know your interests:

When choosing a niche, get into something you’re enthusiastic about, or have a lot of interest in.

Promoting things you are excited about will make you sound genuine and help you earn expertise in the field.

So, before finalizing your niche decision, ensure you have a certain passion for something and that you are good at it.

Research where the money is:

The best niche for affiliate marketing also has to be profitable, Otherwise what is the point?

If you find a niche that appeals to you, check that it has high-paying offers.

Now I’m not talking about high paying.

Also, consider dealing with evergreen verticals that do well even in times of recession.

Evaluate the competition:

If the niche seems like a good money making opportunity, there is a big chance others think the same. Investigate the competition to understand if you can generate enough revenue for yourself.

Consider how much time and effort you’re prepared to commit to this new venture:

Will you only create PPC campaigns with an affiliate link, or will you also work with social media?

Will you run an affiliate marketing website or a blog? Are you going to collect all your visitors’ email addresses and do email marketing?

Answer these questions before getting your head into your chosen affiliate marking niche.

Here are some of the best niches to consider:

● Technology

● Wealth Building (Affiliate Marketing)

● Health and Fitness

● Fashion and Beauty

● Lifestyle

● Pet Care

● Hobbies

● Travel

● Personal Finance

● Relationships

● Home and Garden

● Education

● Self-Help

● Sports

● Spirituality

These are just a few different niches you can look into.

Where To Find Affiliate Products?

To make money as an affiliate marketer, your audience needs to connect with what you’re saying.

The items or services you promote need to be products they genuinely
need.

Getting this wrong can hinder your success and diminish your credibility—as well as your audience.

The good news is there are a lot of platforms these days where you can go to find products in just about any niche.

Not to mention that most companies these days offer affiliate programs that you can sign up to quickly and easily.

Here is a list of sites you can take a look at:

Clickbank.com - With 6 million digital products in over 20 categories, reaching 200 million people worldwide, ClickBank is a popular choice among affiliate marketers.

What’s more, this program offers very high commissions, as high as 75%, and
ClickBank is known for its regular reliable payouts, which is a huge drawcard.

There are plenty of products sold on a recurring basis, which means a great source of recurring income for you, as well as products with upsell options to help boost your income.

AmazonAssociates - With Amazon Associates, you can earn a commission on pretty much anything sold at Amazon.com.

What makes this program even more valuable is that you earn a commission on everything new that someone you refer purchases, even if it’s not the product you linked to.

ShareASale - Whereas Amazon Associates is focused entirely on Amazon products, ShareASale houses affiliate programs for 4,500+ merchants, both big and small.

From one spot – the ShareASale dashboard – you can sign up to all these merchants, generate links, and view your statistics.

Cj Affiliate - formerly known by the lengthier name of Commission Junction – is another affiliate network that brings together thousands of different merchants under one roof (a lot like ShareASale).

Along with ShareASale, CJ is one of the biggest affiliate networks out there, which means that you’ll be able to connect with thousands of both big and small merchants. Currently, the exact number is 2,696 different merchants.

Digistore24 - Is another affiliate maket place thats very similar to Clickbank.

They also have over 8000 products in 44 different niches ranging from digital to physical products, they also have seminars and services that you can promote.

JvZoo - Is another digital platform very similar to both Clickbank and Digistore24 where you can find a range of products to promote in a variety of different niches.

These are just a few of the networks and platforms that you can use to promote a range of products.

I have limited this list to a few of the more popular networks and ones that I am currently using.

How To Find High Converting Products?

Now that you know where to find products im going to show you how to locate products that other affiliates are having success with by using the data that these platforms provide.

Lets use Clickbank for this example.

For thing you can do when you go to clickbank is scroll down on the home page until you get to this where you can select top products offered on Clickbank in any niche.

Once you are on this page simply scroll through and select the niche you want to take a look at.

For this example lets assume we have selected the Health and Fitness Niche.

10 Best Weight Loss Affiliate Programs on ClickBank
(Updated Yealy) :

Javaburn
Eat Stop Eat
Cacao Bliss
NitriLean
The Smoothie Diet
Custom Keto Diet
Biotox Gold
Biofit
RevitaaPro
Keto Soup Detox

Once you select the niche you will be able to see the 10 best affiliate programs in that niche and this is updated yearly.

From there you can click on anyone of the products to get more information and decide if you want to promote this particular product by going through their affiliate support page.

This is where you will also find all the material you need to promote the product like banners, email swipes, PDF documents, Articles and much more.

The amount of support material you will get will vary from product to product.

The 2nd way you can find high converting products is when you are logged in to the platform.

Lets take a look at this example below where I have logged in and selected the Health and fitness niche.

From there in the sort results by I have selected gravity.

This is going to give us the highest converting product that affiliates have had success with over the last 12 weeks.

Gravity Score meaning: this number represents a unique calculation by ClickBank that takes into account the number of different affiliates who earned a commission by promoting this product over the past 12 weeks. Since more recent transactions are given a higher value, this number can give you an idea of what products are “hot” at the moment, in terms of being promoted by many affiliates and making a good number of sales. However, high gravity can also indicate that there will be a lot of competition in promoting this product.”

Once you go through and find a product you are willing to promote you need to click on the promote button and then get your HopeLink.

This is the link you will use to promote the product.

Before you Start Promoting Your Offer.

Now that you have you product there are a few things you want to consider before you start sharing this link.

Creating a landing page.

The first one is how are you going to create a landing page and collect leads? You should never take your link and promote your offer on the internet without a decent looking landing page.

If you do you are basically leaving money on the table.

When you collect leads it gives you the opportunity to promote future products and services to potentially buyers that have bought for you before.

Also if someone didn’t buy your first product that doesn’t mean they wont buy the 2nd or 3rd offer you email to them.

If you want to watch a tutorial on a free software you can sign up to today you can find some tutorials on YouTube and see how you can use system.io to create a landing page in minutes collect leads and send out email broadcasts its an all in one software that any beginner can start with.

System.io is a all one affiliate marketing tool that can really help you grow your business and has all the tools you need when first starting out.

The best part about using System.io is that they have a very generous free plan which is perfect when starting out.

Now that you have found a product, a landing page it’s time to get some traffic!

Best Free Traffic Sources To Promote Offers?

A lot of people don’t believe that you can make a lot of money online with free traffic.

But that couldnt be further from the truth 80% of all my earnings as an affiliate have come from free traffic methods.
Organic traffic driven by social media and then doubling down with email marketing.

I’m going to list some of the best free traffic sources available to you today online.

Now some of these may have a small cost involved for example, YouTube is free however you need a laptop or computer.

Instagram is free but you need a phone.

So that platform is free to use the hardware to use it will be your only investment.

YouTube

If you didn’t know YouTube is the 2nd biggest search engine online behind Google and billions of people tune in every single month to watch videos on the platform.

This basically means that you have the opportunity to get a lot of views/traffic in any niche.

YouTube also allows you to promote offers inside the description of your videos.

You can also review products and have links to Amazon products that you talk about or promote.

To better explain what is possible on YouTube Im going to share with you how you can start a affiliate marketing channel using another free software called Invideo.Io

You can also write the script of your videos entirely automatically and in a few clicks with Anyword, a really powerful software.

TikTok

TikTok has taken the world by storm and is now one of the fastest growing social media platform in the world.

You can start TikTok affiliate marketing as a complete beginner.

Facebook

If we step away from video content you can’t go pat Facebook.

Facebook is the most used social media platform in the world and marketers use facebook everysingle day to grow there business.

They do this through both paid and free traffic methods.

Facebook provides a variety of methods you can make money by creating Facebook pages, using or create Facbook Groups and even by growing your own contact list and friendship groups.

Instagram

Instagram is a social network where product-based businesses, influencers, and coaches can thrive.

Since introducing shoppable posts in 2018, the potential ROI for product-based
businesses is higher than ever – not only can B2B’s connect with a massive audience, they can link the product information and sales straight from the Gram.

If your target demographic is under 35, Instagram is a gold mine: 67% of
18-24-year-olds use Instagram, with 67% of Generation Z and 58% of Millennials using the app daily.

With Instagram you can literally create content in any niche with posts, Videos and Reels which are the exact same as TikTok Videos and YouTube shorts as long as the video is under 60 seconds long.

These are just a few free traffic sources that you can use to make money with affiliate marketing.

Other platforms that I have used and continue to use are, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Quora and Twitter all of these can be used drive a lot of free traffic and paid traffic and you should definitely look into them as viable options.

Another way you can drive a lot of traffic to affiliate offers is by creating a blog or a niche blog website.

How To Make Money With Niche Blogs?

Creating a blog has become one of the most popular ways to make money online.

To create your blog for free you can use systeme.io and produce articles with Anyword software.

However, just because everyone’s doing it doesn’t mean it’s easy, especially for
beginners.

In order to succeed as a blogger, you’ll first need to know what the most profitable blog niches are.

If you want to pick the perfect topic for a new blog to make money, these six
great niches are the right place to start.

● Digital marketing
● Blogging and making money online
● Health and fitness
● Personal finance and investing
● Recipes and food
● Personal development and self-care

Here is a example of 2 different websites that are extremely successful that you can take a look at.

1 - Love Sweat Fitness: is a fitness website that contains everything from blog posts to workout videos and it even has an app that helps you stay in shape.

This niche presents plenty of opportunities to make money.

You can work with brands to promote products, such as fitness equipment and clothing.

You might even offer an online health program or sell a subscription to your workout videos.

2 - Melyssa Griffin: is a website dedicated to helping fellow bloggers and
entrepreneurs grow their online businesses.

With more people exploring blogging as a source of income, you can share your expert tips and advice to help them succeed.

You could show them how to write content that converts or drive traffic from social media channels such as Pinterest.

When it comes to monetizing your content, you can start by promoting affiliate products, such as writing courses or SEO tools that can help people grow their blogs.

You may even want to consider launching your own blogging course or hosting paid webinars.

I currently run 3 websites at the moment that I am building and I can tell you it’s a lot of hard work and dedication.

To explain to you how this is done in a simple ebook is just too much as there is a lot involved.

So I will link you to a website that you can read in you own time called The Blog Starter and you will be able to go through n your own time and see exactly what is involved.

If you want to know where I went very early on to learn about websites creation and blogging and where you can create a free website in minutes click on this link and take a look at Wealthy Affiliate.

You will learn everything you need to know about blogging as they also have a very generous free and training that will teach everything you need to know about growing a blog from niche selection to SEO, website design and everything else inbetween.

Not to mention that they have a community that is there to help you succeed and provide support on a daily basis.

How To Make Money Launch Jacking?

What is Launch Jacking?

Launch jacking is when you review digital products before they are launched or soon after.

It takes advantage of the early search traffic and buzz for those products and can be very lucrative.

In most cases, you earn affiliate commissions when you review and promote other people's products.

A launch jacker's primary tools are a website, YouTube, email autoresponder, and sales funnel software.

Where to Find Products?

There are new products coming on to the market daily and one website where you can go to find out where all the big launches are happing is Muncheye.com

Here you will be able to find products that you can promote to you audience by
requesting the affiliate from that affiliate network.

As you can see below Muncheye has a lot of launches that you can sign up to and prepare for as some vendors notify you weeks and even months before the product goes live especially with big launches.

You will also find that you can win cash prizes if you end up being one of the top affiliates during the launch phase which general lasts around 5 to 7 days.

How To Start Launch Jacking Without a Website Or Following?

As a new affiliate marketer, I know that it can be extremely difficult at first to develop a blog, create a YouTube channel or a social media site like Instagram.

But there are ways to promote products using websites like LinkedIn and
Medium.com to name a few.

With persistence and consistency, your efforts will quickly pay off.

10 Tips to 10x Your Affiliate Marketing

#1: Be Authentic

#2: Create Valuable Content

#3: Don't Stop!

#4: Promote the Product As If It's Your Own

#5: Choose One Channel And Master It

#6: Build With The Long Term In Mind

#7: Disclose Affiliation

#8: Share YourTransformation Story

#9: Promote Recurring Comission Products

#10: Clear Call To Actions

A really important point is #9, You see there are a few different types of affiliate
commissions and if you want to take your business to the next level promote recurring comission products can help you do just that.

Recurring commission products are my favorite, you do the work once and you
generate sales and continue to earn revenue for months and sometimes for years.

Lets take a look at why recurring affiliate commissions products are so powerful.

When I started online back in 2018 I signed up to systeme.io that i used to capture email leads and create landing pages.

I also used systeme.io to send out email broadcasts and I set up my email sequence.

At the time systeme.io was offering affiliate a 30% revenue share everysingle month someone stayed as a paying customer.

What that means for the person I signed up under is that they have been earning a commission from systeme.io for the last four years as st the time or writing this it’s 2022.

I currently pay around $670 for my monthly subscription which means the affiliate that sold this product to me makes $201 on a monthly basis and this is likely to increase as my subscription and email list grows.

This is why I absolutely love Recurring commission products and you should also look at promoting as many of these types of products and services as possible.

What next?

If you go to this point it’s a clear sign you are interested in becoming successful online so I have some personal tips for you.

The first one is consistency, consistency, consistency this is the absolute key to making it online.

I see too many people start something online to quit a few days later and say it doesnt work.

Or they jump from one idea to another or one platform to another.

Remember it took me 9 months to make my first dollar online and the next 9 to make a $100,000 dollars doing pretty much the exact thing that wasn’t making me any money.

All that was required was a few minor tweaks and that came from trial and error and staying consistent and beliving in what I was doing.

Imagine If I had quit in the 8th month, I would just be another statistic among the other 98% of people that have never made a single dollar online.

And it’s not because they arent capable infact they probably have more skills then I will.

Affiliate marketing isn’t easy when you first start but with time it does become easier especially when you have built up a following and traffic stream.

The next piece of advise I have for you is to always put your audience first and think about what problem you are trying to solve with the product you are promoting.

If all you do is think about the money and you don’t have a long term plan in mind you will fnd it very hard to succeed.

Create content that helps you audience and give back as much as possible. If you do that you will have a strong following and people are more likely to buy products and services you recommend to them.

Another thing you should always do is set your self small goals and track your effort.

Like any marketing program, to be successful, you need to know what’s working and what isn’t.

To understand the performance of your affiliate links, use the tools offered by your affiliate network or influencer monetization platform to see what your followers are responding to.

As you get more sophisticated, your website, email marketing platform, social media channels and site analytics can also provide insights into how effective your other influencer activities are.

By doing this you will be able to sey more clearer goals for yourself that will help you grow your online business.

If you truely want to be successful with affiliate marketing it’s going to take hardwork, dedication, discipline and consistency while always learning from your mistakes.

This can be a very rewarding busines and you need to treat it like a business from day one that has the potential to make you anything from $100,000 to a $1,000,000 per year.

I plan to add even more content to this guide and I will all updates regularly
so you stay up to date with with any changes and you have the opportunity to try new strategies.

Thank you for reading this guide, I wish you all the best with your affiliate marketing journey and hope to see you online soon!
