This post about how to start affiliate marketing was updated as of September 2020 to ensure accuracy and relevancy.
Your audience is vital to your success in most things. And that's definitely the case for affiliate marketing. Choose products that are relevant to your audience. Finding products that are relevant to your audience and have high payouts is even better. But don't choose a product that's not right for your audience just because it has a high payout. You'll not only damage the trust your audience has in you, but you likely won't be making any sales.

I’m an affiliate for a few products I’ve used to grow my blogging business. To help my visitors find all the tools I use, I’ve listed on them on my Resources page:
Affiliate marketing has become a priority for businesses who want to do very little work to acquire customers and marketers who want to do little work to earn profit. Though this can lead to low quality products circulating online or shady “marketers” resorting to tactics like link spamming, affiliate marketing is actually an excellent opportunity for both affiliates and merchants who are willing to do it well. And that’s still a lot easier than alternative methods of income earning and advertising.
Choosing an affiliate program is an incredibly important step. This can also be a little bit misleading as very few top notch websites only choose one affiliate program. Many big websites focusing on physical products are going to be Amazon Associates. Depending on the niche they might also look at other affiliate programs or networks that are specialized.
In this post, we’ll first explain what affiliate marketing is and the benefits of getting involved in it. Then, we’ll walk you through how to get started with affiliate marketing on your WordPress site. Let’s make some money! Here's how to start making money with #affiliate marketing on #WordPress
Here are more ways to engage your social media followers, depending on the platform you use the most:
You can group links for related products together in categories, set up automatic linking, geolocate certain links so that visitors are sent to links for stores that are local to them, and much more.
Being an affiliate, you need not buy a marketing kit separately as it is provided by the vendors or merchants themselves. So, you do not need to produce any kind of promotional material, ads or banners.
Let's focus on the single fastest way to start promoting products and services: joining an affiliate network.
When starting you will need to find an affiliate network or merchant to do business with. For beginners, the former is usually a better solution as networks are easier to work with. To start, you will only need some personal or business information and a bank account. In turn, you will need to receive an affiliate link for you to get started.
Side note: I made my first ever Etsy purchase while writing this – the screenshot above is a hint.
You can become a merchant and have others promote your product, in exchange for giving them a commission from the sales that they make.
