Maybe 720 monthly searches don’t seem to be much but imagine you are on page one, and you are getting all those eyes on your affiliate links. You’ll be earning some decent commissions for sure, don’t you think so?

We hope this tutorial helps you get started with affiliate marketing and changes your life.
Affiliate marketing is when you promote other people’s products and services, earning a small cut of the revenue for every resulting sale made. It’s incredibly popular, with 81% of surveyed brands using affiliate marketing in one study. And the benefits of tapping into this market are numerous. It’s a largely passive income stream, for example, and has a low barrier to entry.
Another way to display your affiliate links to a large pool of people is through advertising. You don’t have to have a blog to promote an affiliate product, but you can place it on someone else’s blog.
Overall, I can recommend Amazon Associates as a great entryway to affiliate marketing, as it’s likely your audience is already shopping there in the first place.
An example of how to use programs within this network is how my niche of budgeting planners use the Erin Condren affiliate program in ShareASale
What makes them different to Amazon is that CJ Affiliate specializes in big brand names, as well as smaller product and service suppliers.
When executed well, product reviews can help you earn meaningful affiliate income. Just make sure you used the product so you can produce a convincing and well-detailed review.
If you already have an audience (or plan to build one) you just need to position products within your content that are relevant and useful to your audience.
Aside from your premium membership, the only other thing you will have to pay for is your domain name.
While dropshipping may be the buzzword of the century, Amazon Associates may as well be the next best thing.
Or another cool way of doing this is writing reviews of products. One of my friends who runs TakeFunnels is killing it. You can too!
There is no charge to join an affiliate program. However, some promotion strategies will cost if you choose to use them. For example, while your blog won’t cost you anything but your time, pay-per-click marketing, email campaigns, and social media ads will require an investment.
For advertisers, affiliate programs have proven to be an effective way to target high-quality leads with an improved likelihood of converting into paying customers.
As a publisher, your involvement with the brand and product/service makes your recommendation believable and authentic and tends to lead to the highest conversions.
However, in certain jurisdiction, you are supposed to disclose that you may be compensated for endorsing the product. Read our guide on Affiliate disclosure to learn more about it.
