How to Generate Stable Income Through Affiliate Marketing

You don't need money to start affiliate marketing, you don't have to spend money to build a website or spend on marketing. That's the reason why affiliate marketing is a popular way to make money online. All you need to do is join Amazon or Aliexpress and start promoting products from these marketplaces on facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest, etc.

Different Types of Affiliate Marketing

There are two faces of affiliate marketing, one, you promote someone else's products and earn a commission when the product you are promoting gets sold; two, you hire affiliate marketers to promote your products and when your products get sold, you pay commission to the marketers for helping you to sell your products. For most people, the meaning of affiliate marketing and affiliate marketer is the first definition; a lot of people do not realize that affiliate marketing also means driving sales by hiring marketers. Whether you are an affiliate marketer or a business working with affiliate marketers, there are a lot of benefits of affiliate marketing. As a marketer, you do not have to invest any money yet you have a high chance of making money. As a business working with affiliate marketers, you also have a lot of benefits, and the most important benefit is you do not have to pay a salary to your marketers, you pay your marketers only when your marketers successfully sell your products. You are basically paying the money that the marketers earned for you. If you want to do affiliate marketing to make money, you should probably join Amazon as this is the most trusted site.

How to Start Affiliate Marketing for Marketers

Join the Amazon Associate program and start promoting Amazon to earn a consistent commission. You don't need a website to join Amazon Associate Program, you don't have to wait for your application to be approved, it will be automatically approved, and you will be ready to start promoting the products within a couple of minutes. Affiliate marketing can be best done by creating a blog and publishing content on the topics related to the affiliate products you are planning to sell. Let's say you want to sell android phones through affiliate marketing, you can publish posts on android phones and share relevant products in your blog post.

The highest amount you can earn from affiliate marketing is 20 percent commission, some companies offer up to 80 percent commission but I am not sure if they are legit companies. In other words, if you sell a product worth $100 maximum amount you can earn from this sale is $20. Now, when you are earning just $20, how much do you think you can spend to advertise this product. Running ads for affiliate products is very costly. The key to generating profits from affiliate marketing is getting traffic to your affiliate products. You might need thousands of daily traffic. Is this possible, absolutely not? Small marketers cannot even generate 10 visits a day

Is Affiliate Marketing Really Easy

Sounds good? Well, this is not as simple as it sounds. In order to stay with the Amazon Associate program (Amazon Affiliate program), you need to sell at least 1 product in 6 months. If you cannot sell even a single product in six months, you will be ousted from the program and can no longer use the Amazon Affiliate program. However, being ousted from the Amazon Affiliate program is not like being banned from Adsense. You can use another email to sign up with the Amazon Associate program and start promoting Amazon products, however, there is no guarantee that you can sell again in 6 months. You might think selling Amazon products is easy because everyone knows about Amazon and it is one of the biggest online marketplaces. Well, it has a huge consumer base but selling from your affiliate links is not very easy, trust me.

Affiliate marketing is not easy. I am saying this from my personal experience. After doing affiliate marketing for almost six months, I finally stopped affiliate marketing because I was unable to sell any products. When I was earning $30 per month on average from CPC ads, I did not earn even a penny. Therefore, I believe if you are not earning for a long time, you should stop affiliate marketing.

Conclusion

I did not make money from affiliate marketing does not mean you will also not make money. Your case might be different from my case. If you want, you can try it yourself but you should not be discouraged by people who did not make money. Affiliate marketing is still good to make money in 2021 and beyond. The only way you can make a lot of money on the internet without a big investment is through affiliate marketing. All you need is a website and a good marketing plan. If you want to do affiliate marketing, you will have to be a good marketer
