Affiliate marketing is nothing complex but selling products. Big companies and brands avail this programs to increase their sell of the products and build more network.Now don’t freak out because you don’t have to invest any money in it. You have to promote products of the company or a brand to it’s potential customers. If you know about Mlm marketing it is somewhat like that only.

Here you promote the product through special links which company will provide you after joining their affiliate program(which is also cost free). When the buyer buys the product through your link you get commissioned for the amount percentage on the product decided by the company(i.e 5%, 6%, 7%… etc.)

How to enroll yourself into affiliate marketing?

There are few simple steps you need to follow to enroll in an affiliate program:

Commission varies from company to company and with specific products. Like by selling clothes you can get upto 5% commission. Whereas by selling an electronic item you might get upto 18 to 19 per cent commission. Some companies or brands even give you flate rates on products instead of per centage.

What are the Benefits of affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a very low risk. There is zero investment that means no risk at all. Just you need to invest, is time. You have to give time in creating trafficking sources, which will occasionally lead to regular income.

Affiliate marketing offers the potential to significantly scale your earnings without hiring extra help. You can introduce new products to your current audience and build campaigns for additional products while your existing work continues to generate revenue in the background.

There’s one tip that we would like to tell you that in starting instead of marketing for all the products of the company, you should promte for only one category or maximum two. And that also the products which are in daily use of the customers. Though this would give less commission but you will be able to create network by short-time period and aldo start an income.

You should by products through your own link but with different device so that you would earn through that also.

How to find affiliate programs?

First, there are not a lot of options available in the market. But right the companies that have affiliate program have great potential (eg. Amazon). There are not just these companies there are also some special websites for affiliate marketing (eg. Shopify).

First option for you to find affiliate work is to visit websites of the products you would like to promote to see if they’re providing you to affiliation.

Second option is to directly approach the owner or the agent of the products and you could ask if they are providing you such facilities. And if they are not providing you affiliation work then it might be a good opportunity for you to convince and create an opportunity. If you are in field related to the product like for eg. If you are asking for affiliation of peanut butter and you have fitness blog with enough followers. Then it might be a golden opportunity for you.

Creating product tutorials.

Creating tutorials for your products or making videos of your products on how your product can solve your problems regarding the product. Because somewhere you also might have searched for a product like “how to use” or “what are the benefits of the products” etc.

Try giving out offers.

You try giving offers like for eg. If you will buy this product through me you will get so and so amount of discount. You can give the amount of discount as much as you will be getting the amount of commission. By doing so you will not have to give discount from your pocket.
