How to Do Affiliate Marketing

Introduction

Affiliate marketing is a powerful tool for business growth and success. Why? Because it allows you to generate leads and sales without having to build your own products or websites. If you have an existing website with an audience, it’s as simple as adding a few affiliate links onto your site and waiting for the profits! In this article, we’ll cover:

The Basic Strategy

Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn money online. You can make money by promoting products or services that you love, and all it takes is a little research and some time on the internet. If you’re new to affiliate marketing, here is the basic strategy:

  • Find products that people are searching for online, and then create content around those products. This content could be videos, blog posts or images—anything that helps people learn more about what the product does and why they should buy it. Once your content is ready to go live on your website (or social media page), include links back to where these products are sold so that anyone who clicks through will see them in action!

Set up your website to host a product.

Your website is the foundation of your business, so it’s important to make sure it’s ready to host a product. If you’re new to affiliate marketing and don’t have a site yet, we recommend using Squarespace or Wix. If you already have a website but want to get it set up for affiliates first, reach out and let us know what’s going on with yours so we can help!

Here are some basic things every affiliate website needs:

  • Mobile-friendly design (for quick load times on mobile devices)
  • Secure HTTPS connection (to protect visitors’ data)
  • Fast page load times (so visitors aren’t waiting around too long before they see their purchase options)

We also highly encourage you to invest in user experience testing tools like HotJar or FullStory that will give insights into how well people are using the site.

Drive traffic to your site.

The next step is to drive traffic to your site. This is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak—it’s what will ultimately determine whether or not you succeed at affiliate marketing. Here are a few ways that you can drive traffic:

  • Social media
  • Email marketing
  • Search engine optimization
  • Content marketing
  • Paid advertising

Get paid whenever someone purchases a product.

You can make money by getting paid whenever someone purchases a product. You don’t need to pay for inventory upfront and you don’t have to chase down customers for payment. The company will send the customer their product and then pay you directly when they receive payment from that customer.

There are two main ways of getting paid:

  • Commission – When you make a sale, the commission is usually between 10% and 50%. It’s not uncommon for some companies to offer higher commissions on higher priced products. With this type of payout structure, if your commission is 20% and your sales price is $100, then you would earn $20 per sale.
  • Percentage – The percentage can be calculated as a certain amount (usually 15%) off each sale or as a flat rate per month/year ($500/month). With this type of payout structure, if your percentage is 15% off each sale and your sales price is $100, then you would earn $10 per sale ($15 total).

The good thing about this business model is that there’s no inventory or upfront costs involved. You will only make money when customers buy products, which means that you don’t need to spend time worrying about getting orders fulfilled. Most of the work is done by the company and they simply pay you directly when they receive payment from their customer (similar to how affiliates get paid).

Grrrr

Grrrr.

This word, used as a placeholder for anything you don’t want to say, is an excellent way to express your anger. You can use grrrr in any context, so long as the situation calls for it. For example: “I’m going to have my assistant fire his assistant.” Or: “That’s so frustrating! I’ll just have a drink and try again later.” And if someone asks what happened but you’re too angry at that moment to talk about it, just say: “Grrrr!”

Conclusion

Doing affiliate marketing is a great way to make money on the side. It’s not easy, but if you follow these steps, the results will be worth it!
