Affiliate marketing is a hot topic at the moment. Many youngsters want to become affiliate marketers now. The online era makes people aware of online money making opportunities.
COVID-19 has various negative sides, but after all, we have to acknowledge that it gives us access to the internet, which is why digital ways of making money become more popular day by day. 18+ billion Indians have access to the internet and smartphones. According to a report, the industry of affiliate marketing will grow to an estimated 850 million dollars in the next few years.
Our elders sometimes say that mobile and the internet are the cause of our destruction, but the reality is that if you know how to use them to your own advantage, they can give you more and more money.
But you need to have some skills. Without them, you will not succeed in life. An experienced affiliate marketer earns approximately 1 lakh rupees per month. For those who don’t know what affiliate marketing is I will repeat it for you.
So, let’s get to the point:
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is basically a digital way to earn money. It is based on three things: the brand, the affiliate marketer, and the customer.
Usually, affiliate marketers work as middlemen here. Suppose you are an affiliate marketer, you have your own preferred niche (a specialized topic on which you will grow and do marketing), you will upload content about it on social media, like reels, review videos, or blogs, and you will also provide the link to it along with your content.
If some viewer of your content clicks on the link or buys the product from your provided link, then you will get a profit commission.
That’s how you will earn money.
Remember one thing: different products have different profit margins.
Now we are coming to our next segment, which is:
- How to Be an Affiliate Marketer: Being an affiliate marketer is a charming option for your career, but it takes some steps to unlock it.
No special education qualification is needed; you just want to be very determined about doing this. If you are a 10th or 12th-grade student, you can opt for this. The most interesting thing is that it is free.
If you want to be an affiliate marketer, you have to follow these steps:
- Select a Niche: if you are a beginner in the world of affiliate marketing, there are many chances that you will not be able to survive in this industry. You have to plan all your steps carefully. You have to select a proper niche. Without that, your affiliate marketing career can be in danger. You should select from the available topics such as:
- Lifestyle
- Sports
- Beauty products
- Traveling
- BitCoin
- Cryptocurrency
- Fitness
- Nutrition
- Vegan
- Yoga
- Weight loss
- Outdoors
- Golfing
- Luxury
I suggest a lot of niches. You can choose from here, or you can choose yourself. But remember to stick to one type of niche. Because one type of niche can give you more money than anything else. Avoid changing niches very often. It will confuse the public, and they will stop trusting you anymore. If you choose various niches at a time, you will face a huge loss after some time, but if you try to stick to one type of niche, that will surely give you more money than ever.

- Choose an Affiliate Program: After choosing a niche, your second step would be choosing an affiliate program. This affiliate program can help you with your affiliate marketing program.
- Choose a traffic Source: A highly reachable social account or blogging account is a blessing in the case of affiliate marketing. If you have great followers on your account, you can market your product there. If you have a highly engaged account, many companies will target your account to sell or market their product. In return, you will get free services from the company, free rewards, or money.
- Create content: If you are a social media influencer, a blogger, or a YouTuber interested in affiliate marketing, you should be careful about making original content of the advertisement. You can directly promote the product from your social media account. You can also create new content regarding the product and sell it.
- Create a Website: If you know how to create a website, you can make money from it. If you have your own website, you can recommend products to your audience very easily.
- Use keywords: If an affiliate marketer is a content creator or a blogger, then it is a boon for them. If you are a blogger and want to be a pro affiliate marketer, then you have to work on your blog’s content. Try to use keywords regarding the product that you are going to market. A good blogger or content creator knows the most effective keywords. These keywords will help your content rank first on Google. This will help you in your affiliate marketing journey so far.
