In this first part of the series, the creator shares insights into how they make money online, focusing on affiliate marketing as the main strategy 🎉
They reveal they earn between $3,000 and $5,000 monthly through affiliate links placed in various content formats such as YouTube videos, recommendation pages on their website, and programs.
Understanding what affiliate marketing means is crucial. It involves promoting genuine products the creator loves and thinks their audience would benefit from. When someone clicks their affiliate link, they earn a commission from the sales. For instance, Blue Host is highlighted as the creator’s top affiliate due to their positive experience starting a blog with the service back in 2018.
To get started with affiliate marketing, one should:
1. Identify five common topics discussed in their content.
2. Research affiliate programs related to those topics.
3. Audit and inquire about affiliate opportunities for products already used.
Authenticity is key — it’s essential to only promote products that truly resonate with the creator’s values or experiences. Besides being genuine, there are legal aspects like disclosing affiliate links, and understanding the terms of every affiliate program is crucial. For instance, it’s important to know that Amazon Associates prohibits certain promotions.
Furthermore, utilizing tools like Pretty Links on WordPress can streamline affiliate link management, making it easier to change links without reburying everything manually. The creator emphasizes the importance of authenticity and ensuring recommendations are impactful to their audience rather than just aiming for sales.
The cozy, comfortable approach to marketing is clear: don’t rush into a big push but rather integrate links patiently within content where it seems natural. Stay tuned for part two in this series!
