What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a marketing model designed so that individuals can help companies sell more of their products and services both online and offline. As an affiliate marketer (also known as publisher), you will work within a referral based system that allows you to earn a cut of the money that companies make from sales made to people that you refer.


How much money can you make with affiliate marketing?

The amount of money that you can earn with affiliate marketing will depend on the product that you choose to promote and how many sales you can generate. Often times this amount can even be 100% of the total price of the product, so if you refer someone to a $100 product and they make the purchase, your commission will be $100 (There is a reason why some companies do this, you will find out why once you become a more advanced marketer).

What products can you sell with affiliate marketing?

One of the reasons why affiliate marketing is so appealing to so many people is because you can promote pretty much anything under the moon. You can sell both high and low ticket products. Low ticket products range in price from $7 to $200, and high ticket from $297 -$25,000.

All and all, if I was to summarize affiliate marketing in five basic points, they would be:

  1. You partner with a company to help them promote a product or service.
  2. You market and recommend the products to other people by using your own marketing resources.
  3. People purchase the product based on your recommendation.
  4. You get paid a commission for those purchases.
  5. You flip your boss goodbye, move to a mansion in Dubai and buy a Bugatti. (Possible only if you are serious and willing to work hard ☺)


Benefits of affiliate marketing

There has never been a better time to start an affiliate marketing business than today, and the opportunity continues to grow every day as millions of people turn to the internet to purchase new products and services. In fact, the yearly revenue estimate generated from affiliate marketing is a whopping 6.4 billion, which is expected to grow by 40% by the year 2019 as about 80% of all business transactions will begin online. Experienced marketers know this, and they are doing everything they can to take advantage of this predicted growth.

Therefore, if you want to make money online, it is very important that you also prepare yourself to take your own cut of this 6.4 billion dollar pie. Do this by following the instructions provided to you in this free guide and course, and by making the decision to start today.

If you are still skeptical about affiliate marketing (which I don’t blame you there are a lot of people giving it a bad rep out there), below I’ll give you a few more reasons why this is the best online business to start today.

It is easy to get started

Affiliate marketing is one of the best and easiest ways for anyone to make money online. It is a 6.4 billion dollar a year industry with a very low barrier of entry. You don’t need any special degrees or high technical knowledge to make it work, the door is pretty much open to anyone willing to step inside.

You can start with no investment

Affiliate marketing does not require a big initial investment. If you are strapped on cash, there are plenty of free strategies that you can use in order to find people on the internet who are interested in buying whatever you promote.

You can make money selling products that fall within your passion

Another important reason why I love affiliate marketing is because you can earn good money, while promoting products or services within your passion.  Amazon.com alone has one of the biggest affiliate marketing programs, and if you have ever shopped on their site, you can attest that they pretty much sell everything under the moon. This is great for us affiliate marketers because we can make commissions promoting whatever items fall within our passion, without getting bored or not know what we are talking about.

You can work from anywhere in the world

Affiliate marketing allows you to work from anywhere in the world, all you need is a computer and an internet connection.

Who is affiliate marketing for?

Affiliate marketing is for people willing to create a new source of income using the internet. Whether you are looking to make an extra $100 a month, $500 per month, or even $1,000,000 a month, affiliate marketing can be a way to get there.

When done right, affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make really good money online. If you are an over achiever and dedicate yourself enough to master the affiliate marketing game, you can earn incredible amounts of money right from the comfort of your home or anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer and an internet connection at hand.

The wrong approach to affiliate marketing

Nowadays there seem to be a bunch of “gurus” teaching people to do affiliate marketing by means of deceiving people in order to get them to buy their products.

These “gurus” teach their students to overhype their promises in order to increase sales and earn more money in commissions, even when they have never personally used, done any type of research, or believe in the products that they promote.

Although this seems to be a way to make a quick buck online, I don’t really recommend anyone to take this approach. If you want to make good money with affiliate marketing you need to treat it as a business, not as get rich quick scheme.

The right approach to affiliate marketing 

Affiliate marketing is beautiful when done in a way that adds value to people. In other words, don’t get into affiliate marketing if you plan to spam people with offers from products that you know won’t help them. If you do it this way, other than not make many sales, you can end up pissing off a lot of people.

As an affiliate marketer your job is to identify a need in the market, find a solution that satisfies that need (an affiliate product or service), and put that solution in front of the people who need it. It’s simple!

I have had people thank me before for selling them an affiliate product and, in my opinion, that is the way that it should be.
