It’s likely you receive a lot of emails each day from marketers promoting affiliate offers.
In addition, they earn hundreds of dollars and sometimes even thousands of dollars in commission per email they send out.
While your inbox is going crazy with promotional emails, the affiliate marketer is absolutely flooded with sales notifications. Just because you did not take advantage of the offer does not ensure others won’t. As an affiliate marketer, you don’t even need a lot of sales to be successful.
For example, if I promote an offer to 1,000 email subscribers, I only need 8 sales of a $249 offer to earn $1,000+ (assuming 50% commission for each sale).
It means 8 sales from a 1,000 subscriber list. Now, imagine when you have a 5,000 or 10,000 subscriber list. The hard part about affiliate marketing is setting up a system for building your list.
The next step would be to write emails to generate sales from your email list every day. If you can master this, you’ve built a complete side gig that can replace your full-time income.
You don’t need to create your own products. Trust me, creating products, especially software-related ones, is very hard and frustrating.
A good affiliate marketer earns money while the product owner takes care of customer support. Most of your work will be done for you. Promotional emails will only take you half an hour to create each day.
Most times, the owner of the product will even provide you with the email you will use in your promotion. So, you just copy and paste or slightly edit it and send…10 minutes work.
Especially when it comes to email marketing, affiliate marketing is super simple.
What are the basic requirements for affiliate marketing?
The first thing you need to do is choose an affiliate platform. This is where you’ll find products to promote. Affiliate platforms are also responsible for ensuring you aren’t cheated by product owners.
If you’d like to become an affiliate marketer, there are many platforms out there, including ClickBank, JVZoo, Commission Junction, ShareASale, Warrior+, etc.
If you already have a JVZoo account, you’ll need to sign up as an affiliate. To do this, click here: https://www.jvzoo.com/auth/register. You’ll then need to choose a product.
In your JVZoo dashboard, click on “Affiliates” and select “Find Products” from the drop-down menu.
You want to pick and promote only products with a high conversion rate. By this, I mean products that sell easily when you promote them. The platform has thousands of products already, and over 20 products are released every day.
In order for a product to sell, there are many factors involved. These include the sales letter, the positioning, the page load, the graphics, and the video. When you try to promote vendors who don’t give their best in this area, you’ll fail.
So, before you pick a product, be sure to check its conversion rate, and even go through the sales page yourself and see. You should also buy or get review access to the product to ensure the product works as promised.
Once you’ve tested the product and confirmed that the sales page is good and has a great conversion rate, you can request an affiliate link.
(Warning) The affiliate platform will ban you from the platform for life if you purchase the product using your affiliate link…it’s fraud. Following the creation of your affiliate link, you need to drive traffic to it. This is where many people get confused. There are many ways you can promote your affiliate links.
Your affiliate link can be added to a review blog where you talk about the product. If you have an email list, you can promote the product through your email list. Or you can create a YouTube channel where you review the product and share your affiliate links with your viewers.
Now, here’s the bitter truth:
Before your blog or YouTube channel will start getting organic traffic, you’ll need to keep posting content for months to get a few sales.
You may have noticed that the big affiliate marketers you know don’t rely on blogs or YouTube channels to promote affiliate offers. They build their email lists.
The reason is simple: it’s a traffic-on-demand channel.
Let me give explain further:
A post I make today on my blog or YouTube channel can take up to 5 – 10 days before it reaches 500 visitors, of which only a fraction will click. I assume I already have more than 20,000 subscribers on both platforms.
If I have an email list of 2,000, I can get up to 1,000 views on my email in one day, and most of these will click on my link. Consequently, having an email list guarantees instant and rapid traffic to any offer I promote.
And that’s why every successful internet marketer you know, has one
