You can have the best product in the world if no one knows that it exist, you will not make any sales. Traffic, and most importantly, the quality of traffic that you get to your offers will directly affect the amount of sales that you generate. There are thousands of way that you can get traffic to your offers, you can do it using free methods and paids methods.
Free traffic
As we discussed earlier you, you can harness the power of platform like Facebook and Youtube to create large followings and get free traffic to your offers.
Paid traffic
There are many ways to purchase traffic, but keep in mind that driving traffic to your offers alone will not be sufficient to make money online with affiliate marketing. In order to make paid traffic work, you will need to know the type of people to target with your offer. Knowing how to purchase and drive quality traffic to your offers is an essential skill in making money online.
If you don’t take the time to learn paid traffic, you can spend thousands of dollars purchasing it and never make a cent back. I highly recommend you to learn as much as you can on how to purchase and drive traffic to your offers (we go more in depth with this in the complementary course at the end of this guide). Don’t be afraid to invest money in books, courses, seminars and anything else that you will help you master it, because once you to, you will be literally able to print money online. Below I’ll explain briefly how paid traffic works and where to get it from.
Traffic from social media platforms
You can purchase traffic from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
Purchasing traffic from social media platforms has become one of the best ways to get paid traffic online.
Paid social media traffic is great is because these platforms collect a lot of data from their users and allow us marketers to use this data when creating our ads. Facebook is the company that collects the most data. They know pretty much everything about their users. They know their hobbies, their favorite sport teams, what Facebook pages they like, even how much money they earn per year. They know if their users own pets, have kids, have college degrees and the types of jobs that they work. Yup, pretty much everything!
This is one of the reasons why some of the best affiliate marketers in the world use Facebook as one of their main traffic sources. They know that Facebook allows them to get extremely targeted as to who they want to see their offers.
Traffic from search engines
Search engine advertising is another great way to drive traffic to your offers. It is estimated that Google alone gets approximately 40,000 new searches per second, which amount to more than a trillion searches per year. Traffic is not scarce; there are millions of people searching for products and services on the internet every day, and these search engines want to send the best traffic to your offers in exchange for your money. If google alone gets more than one trillion searches a year, there is a pretty good chance that some of these searches are from people looking for the products that you promote.
In order to advertise on these search engines, you will need to sign up for ad accounts. To advertise on google, you will need an AdWords account. Signing up to advertise on these search engines is as easy as making a google search with the “search engine name” and the word “advertise” and signing up. Some of the major search engines that offer paid advertising are Google, Yahoo, YouTube and Bing.
Traffic from native ad networks
This is another great way to get good paid traffic online. There are thousands of ad networks where you can buy traffic from. Native ad networks work by placing your ads in hundreds of websites related to your niche. They get the name “Native” because they try to blend their ads with the website’s content. Here is a list of the best native ad networks to buy ads from:
These are just a few of the thousands of ways that you can get traffic online, but that should be more than enough to get you started with your first affiliate marketing campaign. But wait there is more! Actually just a small tip before you jump right into driving traffic from these platforms like the action taker that you are, I want to let you know that each of these traffic sources might require a slightly different marketing strategy depending on the types of offers that you promote. My personal advice is to focus on one and ignore all the others.

If you are just getting started and never invested a penny on traffic before, I recommend starting your advertising on Facebook. Learn as much as you can, join Facebook groups related to your niche and spy on ads from marketers already promoting your offers, check out their landing pages, funnels (sales copy) and implement some of their strategies into your own business. This will be the best way to get started fast and reduce your risk of losing money at the beginning.
