Affiliate Marketing is my thing and thanks for sharing these tips. Yes anyone from day #1 can begin with it especially if they can get some eyeballs on their content.

You can reach out to these doctors by using the private messaging feature of forums and work out some sort of deal.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk strategy: how should you promote your affiliate links in order to generate a good income from affiliate marketing? High-paying, high-volume affiliate programsHigh-paying, low-volume affiliate programs (particularly great if you have an audience formed of businesses because they can afford to pay more – but the audience will be smaller Low-paying, high-volume affiliate programs (perfect for a consumer market as they don’t have as much money to spend but the audience pool is much bigger at the same time)
All right, so what to do with your affiliate links. I’m going to show you two different kinds of builds that we do. Two different affiliate scenarios that we like to build out from an affiliate marketing standpoint.
For example, if you wrote a blog post on “10 tips to stay healthy” then you could recommend a plethora of products throughout the article, where relevant such as healthy drinks and foods, cooking utensils, health books and many more.
Remember that people won’t click on your affiliate links if you don’t encourage them to. This means you should create high-quality content that increases your conversion rate. How you do this is up to you, but here are a few suggestions: Show your audience how the affiliate product or service will directly improve their lives.

You can also reach out directly to brands within your niche and find out if they have affiliate marketing programs. Of course, some brands won’t have this setup but might still offer you a once–off promotional code you can share with your audience.
You would be surprised to know how many people still use forums and groups. There are still Facebook groups with thousands of active members.

Years later they migrated to an affiliate network, but the payouts were lower, the terms were pretty bad and eventually, I just let the affiliate site die of a broken heart…and broken affiliate links.
Now that you know the different strategies on being a successful affiliate, the next discussion would be if affiliate marketing is for you. If you like the benefits written below, then go ahead and try it out!
With niche-focused models, your content needs to be curated towards a specific group of users with you making money by providing/promoting a solution to them.
Normally you need to be a certain size or have a certain degree of success before this becomes an option. In other words, you need to prove that you bring value to the table first. If you can show you have traffic and an audience that would be interested in a product or service, then you can negotiate a contract to get a certain percentage of proven sales or leads. This is more work intensive and is best done once you have a little bit of experience in affiliate marketing.
For every sales originated from the link from your website, you earn a commission. In some cases, you don’t need to sell products to earn a commission. There are different affiliate programs with their different payment terms such as pay per sale, pay per lead and pay per click. Let me explain these terms further.
