It's no rocket science and there are thousands of much lesser talented people than you making a full-time living from affiliate marketing.
The downside of this how-to start affiliate marketing CPA space is it is very, very wild, wild west. You need to stay on top of your offers and you need to check the rankings and you check your revenue and check your payouts and all that kind of stuff because the money isn’t coming into you. The money is going to the vendor and the vendor is paying you, or the CPA network is paying you. It’s just something to watch for, something to think about.

In this post I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know to start affiliate marketing on your blog, even if you’ve never made a cent online before, don’t have a huge audience, or even if you haven’t started to build your website.
Once you know which product you are going to promote and who your target audience is, you have to answer one more question. What are you trying to convey about that service or product in particular? A website has to allow users to get more connected to the product you are promoting. You’ll need high-quality photos, reviews, tips and tricks, and all that packed in an attractive design.
This means that you have to build online content, and build more on top of it, and build more on top of it, over and over until some pocket change starts to accumulate in your affiliate accounts.

Thanks, Bridget! I LOVE affiliate marketing. It’s such a great way to decide what your audience actually wants before jumping in with your own products and services. Glad you enjoyed the post and hope you found a few good tips for affiliate marketing on your own blog. 🙂
Even though these are two different methods, marketing experts have started to combine them in order to maximize the results. Here is how you can use them to your advantage too: Find influencers and established bloggers in your niche and reach out to them directly (via email, or direct message on social media). However, it’s important to build a relationship before pitching your affiliate program.
For example, here's the signup page for the affiliate program of GetResponse, a leading email marketing tool.
