It’s the golden rule of marketing. If you have a gaming blog, it wouldn’t make sense to promote gardening equipment to your audience. It’s important to understand your audience’s needs and what they’re interested in.
You need to be the first person your audience thinks of when it needs advice before buying a product.

This step fits in if you're planning to build your affiliate website from scratch. Here are a few SEO considerations you might want to take into account.
The bait you use to get people into your funnel can take the form of a PDF guide, a checklist, a spreadsheet, some free software, or any other easy-to-put-together content or resource that people will desperately want at that visitor’s intent stage. The more desirable the bait, the more people you’ll get into your funnel.
There is nothing worse than promoting a product that someone tells you later is crap. This will ruin all the trust that you are trying to build for your future audience to eventually purchase your products and/or services.
Your neighbor could be making a killing promoting hunting rifles, but what do you, a 19-year-old college student, know about guns? Don't mimic what other people are doing just because it seems to be working for them.
When you promote a product as an affiliate, it works as an independent third party endorsement for the product owner. As compared to the seller praising their own products, neutral product reviews have a much greater impact on consumers.
Email marketing has been around for a long time, and for good reason. The ROI on email marketing is high. Like, really high. Depending on which study you read, numbers range from 3500%–4400% return. That means you have the potential to bring in $35–$44 of revenue for every $1 you invest in email marketing.
The most important thing to consider when selecting a product to market is, “is it relevant to your audience?”
The other part of it is you will need external sites to link to your site in order to build a network and continue to increase your site’s authority.
Affiliate marketing is essentially earning a commission from promoting other people’s products and services.
Serve your audience first, and money comes later. If you can align your mindset that way, you’ll become successful at affiliate marketing. So yes, your mindset is everything.
One of the easiest ways to create a blog or website is via WordPress (this blog is built on WordPress). You can literally get a website up and running in under 30 minutes. Almost all of my websites are built with a combination of WordPress and Shopify. There are other web platforms like Wix and Squarespace but I find them extremely limiting and nothing beats the SEO power of WordPress sites. I can’t remember the exact numbers but there’s a reason why WordPress takes up 30-40% of the entire internet’s websites.
Google is the primary source of most site traffic, and Google loves fresh content. If you update your blogs regularly, you’re going to get a higher place on SERPs. New materials are required alongside the excellent and unique content.
So now that we’ve brainstormed article ideas for one of the visitor intents we identified, it’s time to build the funnel.
You’ll promote the products via your websites based on the niche. When someone visits Amazon through one of the links you’ve promoted and buys something, you’ll get the commission.
