Affiliate Marketing is one of the best options when you want to start an Internet business and start having money in your pocket. But, I also want to clarify that it is not easy as you have seen comments on the Internet or on any platform such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, etc, saying that making money with affiliate marketing is very easy, which is not true, but it is not impossible after you master a sales strategy and follow a path, so this way you can learn how to make money with affiliate marketing.
Like any profession, you have a learning process and of course a cost. But, there is a big difference between a profession were to be a lawyer, doctor, or even a teacher, you need to attend school and educate yourself, plus if for some reason you don’t finish your degree, you won’t be able to practice it.
With Affiliate Marketing, it is the easiest way to learn this career, because most of the time you will learn by seeing other people how they do it, through videos, and reading, in addition to the fact that there is a lot of information on the Internet where very easy you can learn.
Many times, you can learn it for free, just by watching videos on YouTube, and Facebook, following notes from ebooks or taking notes from a blog with information related to Affiliate Marketing.
But I want to clarify because I don’t want you to get confused, that the easiest way for you as a newcomer to learn Affiliate Marketing is with a guided coach that guides you step by step and you learn the different techniques and methods and so on if you start with a coach, you can avoid many mistakes in the beginning.
Unfortunately, most of the time when we know that we have to pay, many people step aside, because they believe that this profession is free and that it costs nothing because there are videos that supposedly teach you how to do it. And the biggest problem is that people who call themselves “Marketers” make you believe that you don’t need money to start, that it’s very easy, that you can generate thousands of dollars immediately without investing a penny. And the reality is that many times, those people called “Marketers” are only interested in selling you their product or program and then they disappear, and they are not even Marketers, they are only selling the course.
As I mentioned above, you can learn for free by watching videos on YouTube, but the basics, but the reality is that when you watch a video, they don’t give you all the information you need to know in 10, 30, or even 60 minutes. I would ask you, can you be a doctor, lawyer, or teacher watching videos of 10 mins or up to 5 hours?
The reality is NO. What I am going for is that for you to really learn the foundation of what this Affiliate Marketing profession is, it will always be better if there is a guide, who can show you step by step, and would be much better if it is a coach that already has success doing this, and that you as a beginner will avoid many of the mistakes that he has already made and your coach will help you avoid them.
When you start, it is excellent that you learn how this profession works, and of course, watching videos showing you the different steps will be very helpful for you because you will be able to understand how it works and what the steps would be to follow so that way when you feel ready, you can invest in a good program and a coach to guide you during your learning journey.
During your learning journey, you will learn the different techniques and methods of how to apply each sales strategy and thus be able to promote your product or brand and be able to generate money for each sale you make of that product, whether you do it organically (FREE) o paid to advertise.
Let me make this clear, affiliate marketing is sales, yes, “sales”. In other words, if you don’t know how to sell, then you will have to learn how to sell and promote a product on the Internet. And you are going to learn these techniques or sales strategies during your learning journey, in order to promote your product.
There are many techniques and methods to be able to promote a product, and the most recommended is always to learn and master a technique/method and scale it until you are successful, then you can try another one, but at the beginning focus on only one marketing strategy and choose a product that you like to promote in the niche of your interest.
Now, how can you make money with affiliate marketing?
Once you have chosen a niche and a product in that niche, the easiest and freest way is to create a page or open a group on any platform of your favorite social network and start creating content for that product/niche, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok, etc. In other words, you are only going to set the limit yourself on where and how to promote your product so that thousands of people interested in your product or brand can buy it.
I also want to clarify that you can do it for “Free”, creating content on social networks, but this process takes time because nobody knows you, nobody knows your product, and nobody knows your brand. So, creating content takes time and that’s one of the reasons a lot of people fail because people told us that “we were going to make money real quick”, and we’re seeing that it’s not true.
But this is just one of the FREE options, which doesn’t cost you money, but it will take you a long time, I don’t want to say the specific time, because it will vary a lot in the niche and the times you create content in your channel or group.
Now, the fastest way is Paid Advertising. Over here you have to learn and master a sales strategy on your preferred platform and start launching your campaigns promoting your product, but there you have to pay, and the problem is that if you don’t know and understand how it works, honestly you are going to lose a lot of money.
The reality is that even if you know, you have to invest at the beginning to promote your product and at the beginning, you will not see results, since many platforms need to analyze your product and who it is aimed at and start distributing it to the right audience, and Well, that process costs money, but if you see it from the positive side, that is going to be the way you are going to learn because you are going to begin to identify and be able to make changes.
Just to clarify, and remember this, “it is always better to learn a marketing technique or strategy”, although there are many platforms on which you can promote your product on the internet, our suggestion is that “focus on one at a time”, learn it, and master it.
That is going to be the fastest way for you to be successful in your beginnings.
Why do we say this? It’s because when we start we get excited and want to sell products and make money very quickly, we all have this idea of ​​generating money, but we still don’t know a strategy, we don’t have a product, and we don’t know how to start, but our great interest above all is make money as soon as possible.
If you are of that idea of ​​wanting to make money fast, then you are lucky because as we mentioned, this is a career that can help you achieve your financial goals more easily and from the beginning. But for that, you have to be clear about your goals, choose a niche, and a product, and learn a sales strategy on a platform of your interest. Yes, that is the fastest way.
This is because when we start we get excited and want to promote on different platforms, we want to promote several products from different niches, and in the end, we end up frustrated because we do not generate sales of any product. The reason is that we never really focused on promoting a product and learning a strategy, as we were more focused on wanting to promote different products and make money and the consequence is that we don’t really master a sales strategy, a platform, and a product.
