Affiliate marketing has become the #1 way to make money online today, with so many people making affiliate commissions that it has created an entire industry of other affiliates who are teaching others how to do it too! It’s incredible! And I started from scratch. Here’s the ultimate guide to get you started and make you some money!

Introduction

You’ve probably heard about affiliate marketing and have seen those make money online videos on YouTube, but you have no idea how it works or if it’s even possible for you. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Affiliate marketing is so new that some people are intimidated by it and don’t even know where to start!

The History of Affiliate Marketing

In my first affiliate marketing tutorial I decided to create a step-by-step guide on exactly how I made my first $2,000 from affiliate marketing. If you’re thinking about getting into affiliate marketing, or you have recently started and are looking for a step-by-step training on how to do it in 2019, then you need to check out my free video training here.

Why is Affiliate Marketing So Popular?

Thousands of people make money from affiliate marketing every single day, and there are so many who profit that it has created an entire industry around teaching other how to do it too. It’s incredible! And if you don’t know how affiliate marketing works, it might seem like a real mystery. It’s not though, and understanding affiliate marketing is easier than you think! That’s why we put together a complete step-by-step guide on making money from affiliate marketing today!

Advice for Newbies (and Where to Start)

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, start by reading some of our beginner-friendly articles such as 7 Tips for Writing Killer Copy: How I Sold $2,000+ Worth of My Stuff With One Simple Email. These articles give great insights into how affiliate marketing works and are excellent introductions for anyone who is new to it. Not sure where to start?

Choose a Niche

Like most other businesses, you need to know who your target audience is and what you’re going to teach them. Before you start teaching others how to affiliate market, make sure that there’s a demand for it in your niche. There’s nothing worse than creating a product that no one wants.

Choose a Commission Program/Affiliate Network

There are plenty of affiliate networks you can join and many will provide affiliate marketing training, but when you’re just starting out it’s best to stick with Amazon. They have a robust platform, large product selection, and excellent support. This is my personal favorite affiliate network for beginners and it's what I use.

Create Your Website

Once you’ve settled on a niche, it’s time to start making money. To do that, you’ll need a website. For many people, an easy option is affiliate marketing: You sign up for an affiliate program (like Amazon or Google), then drive traffic to that site in exchange for a commission on any sales.

Create Content

Without creating content, you don’t have a site. You can write as many articles as you want without getting any real traffic if you have no way of showing people what your business is about. Content should be a big part of your affiliate marketing strategy if you want it to pay off for you. If you aren’t sure where to start, try creating content in these areas

Promote Your Business on Social Media Platforms

One of my personal favorite ways to make money online is through affiliate marketing, which means promoting other people’s products and services. You have probably seen ads on social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram that look something like, 27 year old blogger shows you how she makes $500 a day from home! Pro Tip: I never click these types of ads!

Brand Yourself Online and Offline

It all starts with a website. It doesn’t have to be expensive or fancy, but it should reflect your brand, be mobile-friendly, and contain a solid About Me page that includes links to your social media profiles. If you need help designing or updating your site, you can easily find sites online that will do it for cheap—or even better, get some pro friends involved and do it together.
