What is Affiliate Marketing ?
Make sure you read this content till the end because I will
be sharing with you a lot of secrets that I’ve learned of doing affiliate
marketing for over several years. Well
who am I to even teach you affiliate marketing, right? I’m a blogger and
content writer .And now comes the big question, what is affiliate marketing? In
affiliate marketing, three parties are involved .There’s a merchant or an
affiliate network ,let’s consider it to be Amazon .Then there will be you, as
an affiliate. Where you will be promoting the products of the merchant through
a special affiliate link .So when someone purchases a product through your
affiliate link, you get a commission ,that is, you make money.
Now in blog , I’ll show
you step-by-step on how to sign up to the affiliate network, how to generate
your links, how to promote these links to thousands of people for free and then
make money from your links .Almost all popular companies use affiliate marketing
to drive customers. Be it Amazon, Flipkart , Ola, Uber, Swiggy, FoodPanda,
Zomato- almost all popular companies are doing it.
How affiliate marketing will help you?
But the important question is, how affiliate marketing will
help you. Well the biggest benefit is definitely online earning on autopilot. Today
my websites are driving free traffic every month from Google and making me
affiliate commission. So now let’s talk about who can learn affiliate marketing.
You don’t need any special qualifications, you don’t need any technical
background. All you need is one laptop, or a computer, and an internet
connection. This is all you need. The best part about affiliate marketing is that
you are making money from the comfort of your home. There is no age limit, no
massive course fee, only your willingness to learn, and your willingness to
earn money online.
There are thousands of affiliate networks in the market. I
myself use 20+ affiliate networks to make money for my affiliate websites. So
which one should you choose? While there are more complicated ones like Clickbank and the Commission Junction, where you need the
knowledge of advanced digitalmarketing in order to make money.This is because
the competition is just way to high.
For beginners, who are just starting out, the one I
recommend is Amazon Associate .It’s easy to run and promote and now I’ll be
showing you why you should be focusing only on Amazon.in.
Amazon is the world’s biggest ecommerce website. Amazon.com is driving more than 2.5B
visitors per month. Amazon India or Amazon.in is driving more than 360M people
per month. The best part is that every experienced affiliate marketer is only
targeting Amazon.com in the US market. But there’s usually zero competition in Amazon
India. So making money from an Indian Amazon associate account is a hundred
times easier than promoting in Amazon.com on the US market.
How get Benefits ?
Apart from this,
there is many other reasons why you should join the Amazon affiliate network. Once
you promote your Amazon affiliate link the cookie period is for 24 hours. So
whatever the customer ends up purchasing in the next 24 hours, you will be
getting the commission for that.
The second good point
is that you will be getting paid the affiliate commission for the entire cart. So
let’s say you refer someone to buy at-shirt. But the person ends up buying a
jeans, a cap and the t-shirt as well. You will be getting the affiliate
commission for the entire cart value and not just the product that you
recommend. This is the best part about the Amazon affiliate link. And since
Amazon has so much data and optimization, majority of the people end up buying
so many other products and not just the product you recommend. You can see in
the image on the screen that majority of the products that I sold are not the
products that I was promoting but the other products that people purchased when
I referred them and I still got the commission.

The third benefit
is the Amazon brand. Amazon is now one of the biggest ecommerce website in
India. They spend millions in advertising and now everyone knows about Amazon. So
there’s a trust from the consumers from Amazon, so the conversion rate of
people buying from Amazon is very high. This also helps in getting more sales
and hence, making more affiliate commissions.
How can you make money from affiliate
marketing?
So now let’s talk about how can you make money from
affiliate marketing. The easy answer is create a website and scale it. You
don’t even have to work on your website when your article ranks on Google
search results. It’s free traffic, month on month. Unlike other platforms that
come and go, Google is not going anywhere. So you don’t have to worry that Google
will go out of fashion in a few months. People will keep on searching on
Google. There are many others ways apart from affiliate links that you can make
money from your affiliate website. You get sponsorship opportunities, branches will
start emailing you. you’ll also be making money from sponsored links .
Other ways of doing affiliate marketing
1.YouTube
So let’s start with opening a YouTube channel. Yes, you can open a
YouTube channel in any niche. Like many other YouTubers are doing, and they are
also making good affiliate revenue. You can create a fashion-related channel
and promote fashion-related products. You can also create a technology-based
YouTube channel and promote just like Technical
Gurujiis doing, but the main point to stress is that YouTube is getting
competitive. Already for all the popular categories, be it fashion, be it
gardening, be it technology ,already YouTubers are dominating that niche. It
was easier a couple of years back when the competition was low, and also be cause
of the Reliance Jio wave. Now already majority of the profitable niche has a
channel dominating. Now, I’m not saying that you won’t be able to do it. Yes,
you can open a YouTube channel and you will be able to scale it. But it is
extremely difficult. It will be difficult to scale, you’ll have to be patient. You
also have to show your face and you’ll also have to invest in expensive
equipment.
I 2.Instagram
Now, let’s talk about promoting affiliate links through
Instagram. One thing that I should mention is that every social media platform
comes and goes. So Instagram might not be able to survive in a couple of years.
Also getting followers in 2019 is extremely difficult compared to a couple of
years back. Every social media platforms is going with the pay-to-play mode. Like
the case of Facebook, earlier the organic reach was very high. So let’s say you
have 10,000 page likes, if you post a new post, you’ll be able to reach that
10,000 people. But now Facebook wants you to pay money in order to reach the
people who even like your page. Now the competition on Instagram is also growing
because the people know that there’s money to be made. And also Instagram wants
you to pay money to get those followers. So the organic growth is down. And the
worst part about Instagram is that there is only one place where you can add the
affiliate link that is the bio. So the number of links of the affiliate links will
be far less and hence the oral commission that you make in a month will be much
lower. And this is why I don’t recommend Instagram as the only source of
promoting your affiliate links.

3. Facebook
The same goes for a Facebook page or a group. The organic
reach is dead, so you won’t be able to promote your affiliate links in a
profitable manner. So I don’t recommend either going into Instagram or YouTube
or a Facebook page or a group…rather the smart strategy is to go into allow
competition area and dominate it before it gets too competitive. Also, once
your affiliate sites start getting traffic, you can move to these verticals
either YouTube channel or Instagram account
The best strategy is to
first start a website,scale it, and then move to the various verticals of
YouTube and Instagram. This has given me the best results. So what is the
process of making money from affiliate marketing through a website.
