We want to write this blog and give you a warning about some of the things going on with affiliate marketing. Even though many other affiliates love affiliate marketing and I believe there’s no better business model on the internet right now, there are just a few things I want to discuss to make sure you don’t go through the same pitfalls that I went through.
Right now, we see so many different newbies and beginners getting into this making the same mistakes as well. Before starting, you don’t have to worry, marketing is not dead or anything like that in fact there’s more opportunity than ever before with affiliate marketing right now in 2022, but with all this opportunity nowadays and with so many different ways to do affiliate marketing. We are talking there are probably over 100 different ways to do affiliate marketing.
But what is happening? When you are new or a beginner you start to get really overwhelmed, you start to think in order to do affiliate marketing to have to do all 100 Methods at once and that’s just not the case, so our first advice to you, if you are thinking about getting into affiliate marketing or if you’re already doing affiliate Marketing right now and you’re struggling focus on learning skill sets and not just methods.
So, what we mean by this, is you know when it comes to marketing, what separates anyone making affiliate marketing and can get an affiliate link, but what really separates someone who’s crushing it and someone who’s struggling to get sales is literally just the skill sets in the experience.
1- First Advice is to Focus on Learning Skillsets
You have to focus on just learning skills. The person who’s making $100,000 per month with affiliate marketing, that person doesn’t know every single method. In fact, he probably just Master one method really, really good, and the reason he’s able to make so much just for that one method is that he has a really sharp skill set around. Maybe it’s copywriting, maybe it’s running paid advertising, maybe it’s making viral video content, maybe it’s specifically YouTube, maybe it’s specifically Facebook groups and they crush on that.
Whatever it is you need to pick one method and think about the skills that you need to learn it and develop in order to crush it with that method,
Affiliate Marketing Methods.
- Facebook Groups
- Facebook Organic
- TikTok Content
- TikTok Faceless
- Youtube Videos and Shorts
- Youtube Ads
- Google Ads
- Native Ads
- Solo Ads
- Influencers
- Video Marketing
These Methods Still working in 2022 pretty dang well so for example,
-Tik-Tok content >> FB group >>Conversions >> offers run it straight to your Facebook group asking questions, start conversations with them, and pitch and offer. This specific method works really well for selling High ticket methods, so now you got to look at the right specific method if you’re going to follow, and you have to think about what skill set do I need to learn and develop to get really good at this and make a ton of money from specifically that method.
And probably this is going to be viral video content because of Tik-Tok and then sales, basically, just those two things you need to learn in order to cross over this method.
Also, we have Facebook groups,
-Facebook organic
-Live Instagram
-Tik-Tok. In Tik Tok you can run a faceless account, you can hire someone else or partner with someone to run the TikTok account for you or you can personally make the TikTok videos yourself.
You have to think about, what specific method you want to do in Tik Tok or maybe you just want to do YouTube videos. So what is the skillset you need if you want to crush up with YouTube videos as an Affiliate Marketer, then you need to know SEO, you need to get good at video marketing, and Video Marketing as a skillset. You are not going to just magically get good on camera the first time filming, it takes time it’s a skill set, that you have to learn and develop and you get better at it over time just like you would with a sport or a video game whatever it is.
As you can see here, there are some the different methods, methods that you have to learn and develop, but again, the most important part is just starting learning one skill set, dominate, apply to your product or campaign, and later if you want to learn another method, that would be perfect.
There are many methods we can use, and you don’t have to apply all of them, but the methods you are going to use, you have to be good and apply to your promotion and keep learning. The crazy thing about all of these methods is that ALL of them work well. Learning, as we mentioned, just one method, you can make as much money as you want, with all of these methods, but again, you need to start with one and dominate it first.
The formula is not to try every single method but to get really good at 1 and think about the skillset that you need in order to crush it with that method and Hyper Focus all your attention just on that.
2- The second method is to Follow a Proven Plan
The Advice we have for you as an affiliate marketer is that you have to follow a Proven Plan, keep in mind that you can’t just follow anyone, but you have to follow a plan from someone who actually does Affiliate marketing themselves, and is very successful. The reason we say this is that there are a lot of people out there who sell affiliate marketing programs, but they don’t actually do it themselves.
That could happen to anyone, so just be sure and do your homework when choosing who is going to be that person, with who you are going to learn all the tricks about affiliate marketing. There are many Affiliate Marketers really good, so you just need to find someone that you are going to trust and learn their teaching tactics. Also, you need to learn and apply everything you are going to be learning with them, keep in mind that you are paying for their course, and most Affiliate Marketing courses are not cheap.
If you are going to be investing or learning a new career, be sure you really like and enjoy affiliate marketing, because as we mentioned before, you are going to invest a lot of o money and a lot of time in the beginning, and during the learning process you may have a lot of regrets because most of the people that want to learn affiliate marketing, they want to make money immediately, and this is not how it works.
Finding the right person and following a Proven Plan step by step, is going to be the most important part of your beginning. There are a lot of different plans and methods you can follow and whatever you are picking, be sure it’s a proven plan and is working with the person who is teaching you and he is making around 10k to 20k a month.
After you find the right person, be sure to find that skill set you need to learn for that and start making a 30, 60, 90-day, and inclusive yearly plan for yourself to crush it with that method and go all the way up.
When we focus on the 80% of what really matters, which is traffic and follow-up, that’s when you’re really going to notice important changes in your campaigns and your income is going to grow, as we mentioned if you focus on that, there That’s when you’ll really see those impressive changes in your income.
3- The Third piece of Advice is, Document don’t Create
When you are promoting a product, it is very important that you can document and transmit your results, with that product, to the people who are going to sell it. Many times we want to promote a product, but we don’t know anything about the product, what interests us is really making money.
And everything is possible, but really when you know a product because you use it yourself or learned about that product, it will be easier to transmit the passion and be able to sell that product.
This recommendation is very important because before buying the product that you are trying to sell, your customers will want to see the results that you have had with that product because they will want to do the same and have the same results. with that product. And if you as an Affiliate can show them those same steps that helped you to be successful, those people will buy the product from you because they will see your results as something more natural and the way in which you can help them to have those same results.
You can really apply these steps to follow when you start in any niche, if it really is something you like, enjoy, and are passionate about, that is what you are going to transmit to your potential clients.
