Affiliate Marketing is not art.
It’s science.
That’s good for all of us.
If you understand the principles, then you can use it to work for you.
If you have never tried affiliate marketing, or if you have tried it without success,
here’s a hug and I’m going to break down what works and why.
It’s incredibly simple and most people just overcomplicate it (I did the same thing when I started).
Affiliate Marketing 101
Let’s get to the basics:
First and foremost,
Affiliate marketing is just matching up customers with products and services.
Companies love it, because you bring them customers.
You love it, because you get a commission when you help that customer find the product they were already looking for.
The beauty of it all for the marketer is that, the company selling the product does all the hard work.
They handle the customer service, product creation, logistics, etc.
You just bring them customers.
Products that Sell
So for you to get started, you need to find products that sell.
There are several ways to go about this.
Here are a couple of the easiest ways to do this:
- You can find a product that sells well and then look for the people it would help.
2. You can decide the group of people that you want to help and find a product that fixes their problem.
This is called finding your niche.
Don’t spend too much time worrying about this.
Just pick something you like.
The most profitable niches are health, wealth, and relationships.
You can get as specific as you want finding a sub-niche in one of these categories.
Someone has created a product for them.
Define Your Customer
This part might already feel tedious to you.
However, this is arguably the most important part of this entire process.
After you decide the niche you want to serve, you need to get real specific and clear on who your ideal customer is.
This means understanding their demographics, interests, websites they visit, and books they read.
Pro-Tip:
Ask Chat GPT what your niche spends their money on and what their pain points are.
That should give you a starting point on how you can best serve them and if you are looking at the right products.
The reason to get super clear on your ideal customer is because when you talk to them, it needs to be in terms they understand.
You need to be able to speak to their needs, interests, and daily problems.
Finding a Product:
You can find products all over the internet.
Here are some websites that have affiliate products and offers you can sell for free:
Look online for tutorials if you don’t know how to use those marketplaces.
Build a Sales Funnel
A sales funnel is the process that gets your ideal customer to buy the product you recommend.
It doesn’t need to be complicated, but it does need to be effective.
If you’ve never built one before, I recommend getting some training.
I have 2 options for you that I recommend to get started.
First, The Business Launch Challenge.
For $39, Fullstaq Marketer will take you from start to finish in one weekend and teach you how to get your entire funnel set up.
They have tutors that work with you and take you through every step until your funnel is complete.
They also send you free traffic at the end so you finish the weekend with a working funnel, leads and potential sales already.
It’s by far the best value on the internet for affiliate marketing training,
and I highly recommend signing up and getting started before they stop doing it.

The 2nd option is more do-it yourself.
I have a free training PDF you can use that will show you step-by-step what you need to do:

Once you get your sales funnel set up, all of this process will be automated.
Moving Forward
At this point, you will just need to continue learning and getting better until you reach the sales level that you want.
It sounds much easier than it is.
However, it is attainable by anyone willing to put some work in to learn how to do this.
