The hardest thing about being an affiliate marketer is getting started. It's the foundation of a house that's most important. Once you're through with this stage, your Affiliate marketing business is almost set and ready to fire! Affiliate marketing is an exciting alternative to the traditional way of making money through advertising on the internet. This is why you need guidance: you need someone to show you the way, to take you by the hand and show you how to make money doing Affiliate marketing. Having said that, here are some important things you need to have to begin as an affiliate marketer.


1. Determine your niche: Focus is an extremely important part of this business. The more time you spend focusing on a particular niche, the more you're likely to achieve with that niche. You can decide to focus on Health and lifestyle, or Kids' toys, or on Travel, Economics, Fashion etc. There are so many niches in affiliate marketing and you can pick one of these niches and spend time learning and developing yourself in them. This doesn't mean you can't do a whole bunch of other things but try to limit yourself to two or three products at a time. It is advisable, however, to focus on only one product as a beginner.

When you have learnt the ropes, you can decide to venture into other products because you clearly understand how the system works. This will definitely make you more efficient. It may not be a very easy task to determine your niche. There are so many products online. You can use analyzing tools to determine what niches are profitable and sell well.


2. Choose the right product and do your research: Now that you have chosen a niche, carry out what lawyers call Due diligence. This means that you must do your search and adequate research on the product(s) you have selected. This will show you how well this product is doing in the market and how in-demand it is.

Naturally, you should choose products that will earn you money online and products that have many vendors so that you can get a larger online audience. After some time, please remember to track you products data so as to help you identify what products are selling well and which ones aren't selling as much. You can then make improvements and target better results.


3. Sign up to an Affiliate network: There are many Affiliate networks you can sign up for. Examples include Clickbank, Amazon, JVZoo and Commission junction. In Nigeria, we have the likes of Jumia and Konga Affiliate programs. For a beginner, it's advisable you choose only one Affiliate network to work with.

Go with trusted affiliate networks that pay a decent commission on any product you sell. Also ensure that whatever network you choose is good and easy to navigate and use and doesn't have too many regulations and restrictions, so that you can enjoy your work on that network.


4. Build a website: It is now time to build a website or a landing page. A landing page is a digital marketing term. It is a standalone page created for the purposes of a marketing or advertising campaign. It is where a visitor lands when they have clicked on an ad or call to action. Building a website from scratch isn't difficult and has been made easier these days by online tools where you can go and create one quickly within five minutes.

You actually need a landing page or a website if you're going to make good progress in this business. These are important parts of the work that can't be overlooked. You can also pay to help your website or Landing page get set up.


5. Drive Traffic: This is the 'heart' of the Affiliate marketing industry. A beginner affiliate needs to get people to his website or affiliate network or landing page. If you can't get people to see your page, or see the product you're selling, you can't make profits. A marketer must understand how to generate free traffic and then when you've made sales, you can then go on to paid traffic.

These days, we have Facebook ads as one of the popular ways of generating traffic for a small amount. However, doing this requires a good knowledge of how it works and your being able to tweak the system to favor you.


6. Make sales: When you do all the steps above right, you will make sales and this will convert to income.
One important aspect of this business is advertising and developing a good relationship with your prospective customers and your existing customers. Good luck!

Thanks for the info Jagaban. I have few questions for you and I'll be glad if you provide me with the appropriate answers. They are as follows;

1. What is the minimum and maximum number of products I can promote at a time?

2. Do I have to create a squeeze page for every product am promoting? If yes, where would they be re-directed to the moment someone opts-in?

3. Is it possible and advisable to promote different products from different niches at a time?

4. Is my landing page the same as my blog? If yes, can I do as above in question "3" on it?

5. Kindly clear my fear on these ones while I ruminate on the other areas I have questions.

Thank you.

1. for my affiliate marketing i mostly use clickbank and i promote not less than 5-10 different products at a time and i have never heard of any limitation to number of products you can promote.

2. yes. every new product you want to promote needs a unique squeeze page. the squeeze pages can be on a single domain and hosting. this is the reason why i advice buying general name domains instead of niche specific domains. e.g supercourses over looseweight dot com. the reason is that you want to promote many products on the same domain. it will not look wise to promote make money products on looseweight domain.

3. yes if you can handle it. no if you cant. i personally promote any product in most niches if i have an hungry traffic for it. but this does not in anyway mean that a person subscribe to my make money list and i will start sending him dog training promotions. i will never do that.

4. a landing page is the page you direct your visitors to. if i say a landing page in this context i basically mean a squeeze page. a squeeze page is a single page where you collect potential buyer email addresses. partly answered in 3 above

5. visitors to your squeeze page are potential buyers. if they optin to your list, they are interested and most likely willing to buy. after subscribing to your squeeze page they should be redirected to your hoplink. that is the product you are promoting using your unique hoplink. if they buy instantly fine, if they dont, you already have their mails and your mailing series will follow them up.

will you like to have a peep on how i made over N271,500 from affiliate marketing within just 5days? see it here

Ok

How is this money made online? Fiverr, clickbank, everyday post on Nairaland, yet I can't seem to make nothing out of it. I met some guru for insight here on Nairaland, he told me he can't add me on Whatsapp that it's for only customers. Then why did you post in the first place if you are not willing to assist? Confused... Guys show me the way, the real way

Thank you my Guy. They should tell how much they are making not essay writing.

Babaonpoint... all the same person

Everybody advertising affiliate marketing but won't tell U dey make more money from training U dan d actual marketing

Whenever I see the ease at which affiliate marketing pumps cash into my account....

You may mean good guy, but you act desperate.. opening multiple accounts linking to same page everyday, all the time. People are going to have a hard time believing you o. I'm being honest. First, your webpage sounds too good to be true, and you act desperate... making people to ask why so desperate, if you are always having your account pumped with money from affiliate marketing..

Market to people, by thinking like they do. AKA think like the customer. That's the first lesson in affiliate marketing, and you haven't learnt that. Also stop acting desperate.

If you actually mean good... here are a few things you can do

1. Get a new account on nairaland and stick to it.

2. Change the webpage (landing page) you link to. Thousands of people have seen that particular webpage, and have called you out. Continuing it's use is surprising (to me). Also that particular template has been abused by Nigerian get rich quick online guys. Change it in order to change the perception. Find a responsive webpage at least. Zooming can be annoying for some people.

3.Rewrite that landing page. You sound like those earlier get rich quick naija guys. A sensible person won't believe a thing you say in that page, starting from the first paragraph.... which I highlighted in bold in the first paragraph of this post.

4. Don't give discounts.

5. Follow all of the above, and you won't come across as desperate.


I hope you actually mean good.

thanks for the timely advice bro. for the landing page, i will surely do something about it. i operate a kind of a complex marketing strategy with different freelancers. the different accounts are mostly operated by individual freelancers, mostly nairaland members. it is not an individual that is creating and using them. your points will surely be considered.
