Affiliate Marketing Newbie To PRO

 

Affiliate Marketing Introduction

What is affiliate marketing?

In the broad sense of the term it’s earning commission for recommending a product or

service. Now this can be for anything imaginable these days and when I say that I’m not

exaggerating!

Almost every product or service online has an affiliate program attached to it. From

holiday companies, to baby clothes to small business internet marketing products

selling software.

Yes, affiliate marketing is a huge huge business and fortunately for you, one of the

easiest to get into.

The idea behind affiliate marketing is that you promote products, through an affiliate

network, earning a commission if your audience buys thanks to your marketing efforts

via your affiliate link.

The end result is you earn a commission based on a percentage set by the vendor. This

percentage solely depends on the amount set by the vendor and can range from 1% to

100%

The ultimate goal is to make money while you sleep and buy time. A phrase once

coined by Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, is the ‘Work hard now and reap the

rewards for years to come’.

What does this mean?

Most marketers either started or have a fork of their business in affiliate marketing. It’s

simple to setup and can earn a great income.

So, when you hear ‘work hard now’ this simply means build your affiliate income stream

now and the benefits will reward you for years to come as long as you drive traffic or ad

revenue (which we will get to).

So what is an affiliate?

An affiliate is sometimes also known as the publisher. Affiliates can range from single

individuals (more focus on this in this book) to entire companies.

Types of Online affiliate marketing and 
what is right for you?

There are 3 main channels for affiliate marketing and the affiliate (you) will try to market
to the consumer on whatever channel works for them. This could be 1 main channel or
all 3 channels. These 3 channels can be broken down into subcategories of channels,
so realistically there isn’t exactly 3 channels, but subsets of channels.
So what are the 3 main channels of affiliate marketing?
1. Websites, blogs and dedicated marketing sites for individual or niche products
2. Social Media sites such as Facebook and Instagram and Youtube. (Some of the
biggest affiliate revenue is made here).
3. Search engine ads
So now we have established the channels, let’s break this down into
subcategories:
1. Websites, blogs and dedicated marketing sites for individual or niche products
a. Websites and blogs allow for email address collection. This brings direct
email marketing via affiliate links into play.
2. Social Media sites such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. (Some of the
biggest affiliate revenue is made here).
a. If you work social media only (social media influencers spring to mind) 1
video can be repurposed across multiple platforms. Remember, 1 piece of
review content can be split between all social media sites.
3. Search engine ads
a. Search engines ads can link back to websites and squeeze pages where
you can again build your mailing list and incorporate email marketing
offers.

So what is right for you?

Let’s start off with what you are interested in? This really helps when it comes to
deciding on what you want to promote.
Here’s a story - I have a friend and she loves being a mom. Starting as a stay at home
mom, she decided she wanted to create a revenue stream in affiliate marketing.

So, she built a website which advertises mom stuff, things to do with kids and the
surrounding area activities. It’s a highly useful and informative site used by local people
only. (think geographically small)
Within the info she provides she advertises mom stuff on the side bar of her blog, such
as baby clothes, pushchairs, high chairs, travel systems etc and grabs a decent return
from the info she is providing by way of an affiliate income.
As we discussed earlier, it depends on the commissions, but 10% of a $600 travel
system sold to 4 people is $240 commission and she doesn’t have to deal with admin,
questions, distribution or anything... and this is only 1 product from her site. Multiple
products sold from her site making only small commissions to large commissions
mounts up to a great revenue stream.
However, this is not the end...
She now decides to diversify to social media. She is already alerting people when her
site is updated and new info is online via Facebook, but now she can see the potential
for growth. Not in her site but in her business as a whole.
So, she creates 3 more channels
1. A Facebook page which discusses mom issues and is used for alerts for her
websites and product releases
2. A landing page on her website which provides mom info. She offers a free mom
guide and a monthly newsletter in exchange for an email address
3. She starts an ad campaign via Facebook and Instagram for the most successful
buys from her websites, based on the most successful commissions. e.g. Travel
systems are crushing it, so she creates a Facebook and Instagram ad to promote
the travel system via her affiliate link.
So now, she has all channels in play:
1. A websites offering info and affiliate products
2. A squeeze/landing page to gather email addresses to email market to
3. A Facebook page and Instagram chanel to provide info and deals from her pages
and feeds
4. An ad campaign to promote products outside her regular traffic circle and beyond
What else can she do?

Since she already has a Facebook page, insta pages, she now creates a YouTube
channel to repurpose her efforts across all social media sites. Remember when we said
1 video can be repurposed? This is exactly what she did.
So, now she has a YouTube review site affiliated with each product she reviews, linking
back to her Facebook page, Instagram page, website and landing page. She is now
getting more visitors, more subscribers and earning 10x compared to where she started
with her first websites!
This is a true story and a great example of how to start an affiliate marketing business
and go from newbie to pro in a short space of time. Plus this isn’t hard to set up if you
take it one step at a time.
Give it a try...
