affiliate marketing – Page 4

“I feel you’re one of the few honest marketers I’ve met” – that’s what I was told by someone just the other day…

and do you know what? This simple sentence made my day – it was the most valuable compliment I could receive.

It’s not the first time I’ve been told something along those lines, and each time it brings me both intense joy and sadness.

Joy – because I feel very honored and proud that people trust me.

Sadness – because I should NOT be one of the very few honest marketers out there. ALL marketers should be honest, not just me!

It’s sad that there is so much dishonesty and bad practices going on out there. Really sad.

I mean, it’s not sad for me and the friends I have who are also honest marketers. In fact, for us it’s great news. It means we get a chance to stand out in the crowd, doesn’t it?!

But it’s sad for all the people who get taken in the nets of lies and deception that go on in some circles.

Anyway, I don’t want to turn this post into accusations.

I just want to warn you, dear reader… if you’re looking to start an online business, do your research before you spend your money.

Buy from someone you trust.

Look at their messaging; are they truly giving you value and helping? Or are they just teasing you with juicy income screen shots?

Are they transparent? Do they “feel” honest?

Now just before I go, let me tell you one more thing: NO ONE can do the work FOR you.

Starting an online business is hard work. It takes a lot of time and at first you’ll probably make very little money, if any at all. You have to be prepared for that. You have to be willing to take consistent action, turn up even when you don’t feel like it, ride the waves and climb over the walls that you will meet along the way.

If you’re willing to do that, you’ll succeed.

When you start, be honest and transparent yourself about your journey. Don’t make people believe you’re way ahead than you really are. Honesty will pay you in the long term, it’s the only way to go.

Have a fantastic day!

That’s the question I saw in a Facebook group yesterday. The person said something like:

“I’ve taken the first steps to getting started with affiliate marketing: I’ve signed up to Clickbank, what are my next steps?”

Good question!

And here’s what I would say:

Clickbank is a good place to start, especially if you’re on a low budget and have no experience in affiliate marketing.

So, once you’ve signed up (it’s free) and have your affiliate ID, the next step is to find a product to promote…

BUT, before you do that, I suggest you decide on a niche. You need to know what you’re going to be talking about! It’s not the same if you’re in the dog training niche or the fitness niche, right?

So, start by thinking about what you want to talk about and who you want to attract.

Pick something you know about or want to learn about.

Once you’ve picked a niche, search Clickbank for a relevant product. You might know of one already, that you’ve used yourself – that’s even better!

Check offers out by clicking on the “affiliate page” in the Clickbank marketplace. You’ll learn all about the offer, the commissions you can make, the free resources they give you to help promote the product.

I suggest you buy the product yourself and test it out, so you know what it’s about. It’s always easier to speak of something when we’ve tried it out ourselves, isn’t it?

Anyway, once you’ve decided on the product to promote, get your affiliate links (again, you get that from the affiliate page).

You’ll then have to send traffic to these links.

Now for traffic, there are so many different ways you can do it, it’s impossible for me to go into all the details. But I suggest you pick ONE platform where to build some relevant content.

You can keep it very simple. You can simply have an Instagram account, or a TikTok channel, or a blog. But you’re going to have to build some content, to attract your audience.

If you have a budget, then you can use paid advertising methods too, of course. You can create a Facebook business page and create ads. You can buy solo ads traffic. You can create YouTube ads.

With paid traffic, however, I suggest you learn how to do it the right way, or you risk losing a considerable amount of money – which is not what we want, right?

That’s it, in a nutshell… GIVE IT TIME – you probably won’t get sales right away. You need to build an audience. But stay consistent and it will happen!

Have a fabulous day and don’t forget: if you start today, you’ll be one step ahead tomorrow!!
