How to start affiliate marketing

Build an amazing blog

From the blog’s content, promotion, to its domain name–make sure every detail of your blog is immaculate. Doing this is important as your blog is basically your shop where you’ll be doing the work for affiliate marketing.

Get a great domain name for your blog on a new domain extension such as .ONLINE or .SITE to ensure your blog has a unique address that helps it stand out. Next, ensure you’re sharing truly valuable content that helps your readers. Once you have this, promote your blog aggressively to attract good-quality readers to your blog.

Believe in what you’re selling

While it’s important to pick a product that is in demand, you should also keep in mind that what you promote impacts your reputation. Providing accurate information and honest opinions is something you owe to both your audience and yourself. 

The best way to do so is to pick products that you know are useful and reliable, and affiliate with brands you personally trust. Your belief, passion, and commitment will reflect in the work you do, which will translate into greater sales for the merchant, better decision-making for the audience and more earnings for you.

Build rapport with your audience

Ultimately, it is your audience’s actions that will determine your success with affiliate marketing. The more they see you as an expert in the field, the more they will trust your recommendations, and the more likely they are to buy through your links. 

Work on establishing yourself as an authority in your domain through great content that builds your audience’s confidence in you.

Drive traffic from different sources

The Internet is teeming with channels where you can promote your content. The product you’re promoting and your target audience can help you determine which platforms you should use for marketing. 

For instance, apart from your blog, you can also share content and ads on social media, YouTube and search engines. 

Join an affiliate network

The endless variety of products in different niches can be overwhelming for someone who is just starting out. Apart from that, one also needs to consider tracking and analysis and management of earnings. 

Once you have narrowed down on your niche, you can join an affiliate network that specializes in your area of expertise to streamline your marketing plan for you. This will not only give you easy access to a database of products but also help you in planning your strategy.
