With the help of this article, I will show you how to start making money online from scratch. All you need to invest is your time and complete attention to this article. With the help of this strategy known as affiliate marketing, you can start making money from the first week of working online. To understand how to make money online or even offline the most common strategy is selling a product. So basically, you sell a specific type of product/products to a group of audience looking for such products. When you first try to start making money online you may complain of not having any product or audience or even a website (as it is considered a major part of the online world). What we will be talking about here is how to get a product, establish a selling page and how to gather some audience to drive traffic to the product you will be selling. Now let's talk about how to get a product that we can sell products to people online, this sounds so weird but also attractive right.
As a beginner, you probably won't have much resources or information in finding a product so let me help you out with that. This is where affiliate marketing comes into play, you will need to find affiliate products online. To find affiliate products online you need to understand affiliate marketing and let me briefly tell you what it means. Affiliate marketing is simply promoting or marketing products for other people online. One simple example could be where I offer some online courses and you trying to get into the make money online business can promote my product to people online and earn a commission. Isn’t this so cool where you can sell my product to earn some commission.
Now that you’ve understood what affiliate marketing is, let's talk about 5 such places/websites where you can find affiliate products and start your online journey right away;
- CLICKBANK
2. CJ AFFILIATE
3. WARRIOR PLUS
4. AMAZON AFFILIATE
5. SHAREASALE
These affiliate marketing platforms have more than thousands of products from which you can choose the ones you are interested in and promote to earn some commission. This is the easiest and fastest step of affiliate marketing. You can choose any platform and any type of product to promote. You will then be ready with someone else’s product which you are going to promote and earn income. Isn’t this so fascinating?
Now that we solved the problem of finding a product, our next step is to find a way to get visitors to our view our product. We need to generate traffic to these affiliate products in order to get some conversions that can put some $$ in our account. One important point we need to understand is that getting 100 or 500 people to our affiliate product is not going to be enough to generate sales, we would need more than 5,000 or 10,000 visitors per month to our affiliate products sales page.
Being a beginner on this platform we know it's difficult to generate such traffic without any website, YouTube channel, email list or social media. This brings us to discovering the two easiest ways to generate traffic which are online forums and Q & A sites.
Here is where the real work of promoting your affiliate product begins. This could get you engaged for about 30 to 60 minutes every day if you are determined to make some good income online. Talking about the two main Q & A websites to get started are:
- QUORA: The number one q & a site on this planet. Quora gets up to 500 MILLION views per month. It simply is a very highly targeted traffic where you will find people who will buy things online easily. This can be the best place to start promoting your affiliate product here and you will notice results literally one week after you use Quora. I personally started my online journey with Quora and this is why I would recommend this site to anyone who is starting out as an affiliate marketer or even a person who wants to grow online. All you need to do on Quora is to answer questions related to the product you are selling. So for instance let's say you are trying to promote a video editing software. All you have to do is search for questions related to video editing and answer as many questions as you like but be careful to never spam as spamming your affiliate product link could bring the Quora bots to attention and remove all your answers or just ban your account. Just provide the viewers with real value related to the topic. If you think you do not know the answers to these questions then why do you think we use google. That’s right just google the question, read and rephrase the answer for Quora and then you can post your affiliate product link. Just for the best practices for Quora, DO NOT mention your links in every answer, but instead put in your links for every 5 questions you answer in that way you would have put up your link 5 times and answered over 25 questions. It is recommended you answer around 5–10 questions per day but as you all know the sky is the limit.
2. REDDIT: Here you will find 1.5 BILLION people who visit Reddit every month, yes you heard it right BILLION. With such traffic, you will easily be able to generate more than 2000 visitors to your posts with.
Here you will find many communities related to your product where you can post about the product you are selling. For instance, you could post a review about the affiliate product you are promoting or post an article explaining different topics, features and how it can help people. This way you will be providing value as well as promoting your product. Also, you must note to NEVER SPAM your affiliate product link. Reddit helps an affiliate market due to the huge volume of visitors it gets per month and this is why you should really utilize this to the best.
Now that both the problems of finding a product and getting traffic to your affiliate product has been solved. Lets talk about one good practice and a free source to get traffic and add some more income along side affiliate marketing. Creating a free blog post about your affiliate product and adding your affiliate link through blogger can benefit you in getting traffic as well as directing your traffic to your affiliate product sales page. This way you can grow your audience through free blogging and also generate sales through your affiliate product. You can post links to your blog post on places like Quora, Medium and Reddit to reap benefits in two ways. This is just an extra tip for beginners who do not have money to spend on paid traffic and in the long run, this will help all the bloggers and affiliate marketers to grow their online presence.
