Okay.. you heard of affiliate marketing and wondering all the Hype is about wanna learn about how to start affiliate marketing from scratch then I invite you to read the whole step-by-step guide on How to do affiliate marketing in 2021 explained in easy simple words
(completely beginner-friendly way)
so let’s first understand what is affiliate marketing and how it works.
Affiliate marketing is the process of making money by promoting other people’s products
in this system, there are 3 parties involved
1st vendor or the company
2nd customer
3rd affiliate marketer ( the middle man )
The affiliate marketer will help the company to sell more products and in return, the company will give Commission to that middleman (commission can vary from 10% and even sometimes up to 90%) and the customer will get the right product which helped him to get his results. if we see this case then this is a win-win-win situation for all three parties.
so let’s get started on how to become a super affiliate marketer so
step 1 find your niche
the riches in the niches ~Unknown (i don’t know who said this but its a fact)
a Niche is a category in which you are going to sell/presell/ Recommend the product.
it means you will only promote products in that particular category
for example
it may be the electronics
it may be the fashion
it may be the digital marketing
it may be books
it may be fitness etc
you might be thinking but Pushkar…
why I should choose a niche before starting further process when you can promote all types of products in all categories🤔
well you are right but by doing this way you face a lot of competition you’ll compete against all other affiliate marketers but if choose a niche then you will only be competing with the people who are in that niche only here you have more chances of winning. remember its better to become a shark in the small pond of fish than become another shark in a big ocean
Very famous marketer Seth Godin says
” don’t find a customer for your product find products for your customer”
You can find multiple products
So it will be good if you start by choosing a niche
pro tip: become an affiliate for the product that you have been using yourself, it will be easy to sell that and you’ll be more confident .look inside you what are the things you are interested in. do you love electronic gadgets cool select your favorite gadget and sell it or you love fashion then go sell fashion accessories and the harsh truth: Affiliate marketing is a real business, not a Quick Rich Scheme, and takes hard work and consistent efforts. if you choose the wrong niche then you will be bored very soon and give up on this business whereas if choose the right niche then it will be just fun by doing this you don’t have to think like you are working it’ll just fun thing for you.

◾make sure it has a higher price ( in this way you will have more money for the same amount of effort)
◾you have to make sure that the product must add value to your customer.
◾Never product note sale product for just sake of commissions
( if you are doing it for just the sake of commission not confident enough to sell and have sold a product that doesn’t add value to that customer you will lose the customer
Instead, you recommend the right product that helps them to achieve their goals. they will come back to you whenever they need any suggestions or recommendations for a product they are more than happy to buy from your affiliate link because you are giving them the right suggestion. you’re suggesting the right product so, in this way, you can sell to a single customer multiple products.
