Affiliate Marketing is something I'm doing part-time. Within the next 2 years, I hope to go full-time. My goal is to provide a large enough income so that my Wife and I can enjoy traveling and spending more time with the Grandchildren.
Simply put, the most solid path to a substantial income and freedom is blogging and list building. Now true enough, I don't blog on a regular basis, therefore traffic and followings are low. However, for 2018, I plan on ramping up things for success in affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing isn't easy, it takes time and hard work. Not to mention, basic knowledge of human behavior. Many marketers invest in methods that just don't work. Everyone looks for the short-cut and easy money. There is no such animal. There are only two things needed for success in affiliate marketing:
1) Getting Traffic
2) Picking Good Offers to Promote
Getting back to wasting money, I've invested in methods that promise the quick pay-off. As a matter of fact, I'll be writing reviews on some of these products in the near future. The best way to finding success in affiliate marketing is to stick to the core methods. As far as the Gurus, they make money off of you and I when we buy their products. Some of which really don't work.
The best way to learn affiliate marketing would be to find a reputable training course. A course that teaches SEO and other traffic techniques.
1) Getting Traffic
Traffic is THE life's blood of affiliate marketing. This takes priority over the products and services you plan to promote. Once you learn to build traffic, then you'll make money easily.
Types of traffic are search engine, pay per click, email marketing, video marketing and article marketing. These are awesome ways for getting traffic to your website or offer. You can use one or all at the same time, however, it is best to take one at a time and learn it thoroughly.
2) Picking Good Offers to Promote
Choosing a good converting offer will make promotion easier. Not all offers are good offers. Find something that will help people solve a problem. Take a look at the kind of issues people are having. When you identify a niche then go and promote the solution to it. One of the cornerstones of marketing: marketing solutions to the world's problem. A good living can be made doing this.
There is hard work involved with affiliate marketing, but if you follow these two things, then you can achieve success in affiliate marketing. Solving problems is the key to affiliate marketing.
