The internet is full of 0 to 6-figure affiliate marketing success stories.
Making money online traditionally requires that you sell something, but the hardest part of doing that is creating what to sell. Affiliate marketing removes that friction; you sell what others create and make cool money off the commissions.
It sounds simple, but I’ve come to realize that this way of making money online is more complicated than simple.
There are many components to affiliate marketing that can discourage anyone from venturing into it. To successfully promote any product as an affiliate you may need to deal with some or all of these steps:
- Source for products
- Create a well-designed squeeze page with a brilliant sales copy that compels your readers to buy or give you their details.
- Do email marketing, which includes creating email swipes and running email campaigns to eventually pitch a product to your readers for them to buy.
- Choosing a payment processor.
- Promoting your product.
