WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING ? - DIGITAL TECH BLOG

If you are trying to build a business online or if you want to make money online and you've either never done so before or you are a beginner and you're still trying to figure out this whole making money online thing.

I really do highly recommend affiliate marketing for some of these reasons that I'm going to be giving to you okay so let's start off with the first proof affiliate marketing is a billion-dollar industry.

PLANING AND COST

And it's only projected to grow even further than that now with affiliate marketing being a billion-dollar industry it's common sense to want to get a piece of that pie which is why so many people get into affiliate marketing.

Because the money is there people are literally making millions of dollars doing affiliate marketing and that's essentially selling other people's products so that's one of the big pros of affiliate marketing it's that it's already a proven concept it's not something that you have to kind of like figure out.

And you know to see if it's gonna work or not there's already proof that it works it's you know it's already a billion-dollar industry so it's just a matter of tapping into that industry and getting yourself a slice of that pie pro number two affiliate marketing is that it's a very low cost.

Now, this is why I recommend affiliate marketing specifically for people who are just getting started with either online business or business really, in general, um but specifically online business because it's really low cost.

You don't have to pay for you know any staffing or any kind of building or any or even products or manufacturing or shipping fees all that stuff doesn't necessarily matter all you really need for an affiliate marketing business is wi-fi it's the internet.

You know I mean you shoot you might not even need a laptop now it might help to have a laptop but if you have your phone I know people that have become successful starting off affiliate marketing just from their phone.

So all you really need is an internet connection to really get started with affiliate marketing now there are some other tools that you're going to want to get as you continue to grow like maybe having a website or something to build a landing page or something to collect emails.

So that you can continue to email your list and continue to get long-term residual income from that list by the way if none of this is really making sense or if you don't know the basic fundamental pieces that go into building an online business.

You need so it's super low cost um which could be really helpful for you if you are trying to start a business on a budget all right pro number three of affiliate marketing is that no experience is really required at all.

This is not something that you need to necessarily like master or have like a skill set that you're going out there to serve people with affiliate marketing is really low tier in regards to the experience that's needed and the great thing about affiliate marketing is.

You can actually grow as you continue to learn how to promote essentially if you understand how to promote products online and how to market yourself or your product or your service uh whichever that product or service is and within the affiliate program.

You can really be successful and be massively successful you don't have to have any experience in business or in marketing really to get started and to see success you can really start where you are today join an affiliate program start promoting it and start seeing success.

STEPS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR DEALERSHIP

Um fairly quickly actually all right pro number four this is one of my favorites other than you know making a residual income from affiliate marketing and that is the convenience and flexibility of affiliate marketing.

You can be anywhere in the world doing anything making money online through affiliate marketing you don't necessarily have to worry about a staff you don't have to worry about you know being at a particular place or office.

I mentioned before all you need is an internet connection and as long as you have that you can work from anywhere one of the reasons why I decided to start affiliate marketing when i, when i started you know on this road to being the entrepreneur, was because of that piece right there.

Because I love to travel I love to go to different places and experience different things and meet new people and try new foods and I wanted a business that could fit that lifestyle I didn't want to have to come back to you know be do in-person meetings and all that kind of stuff.

I wanted to be able to make money wherever and affiliate marketing allows you to do that and allows you to do that easily because like I mentioned before and I'll say it again you really only need a wi-fi connection to make affiliate marketing work for you.

So whether you are at the home at home you know hanging out or you know on the beach on in Maui or something like that you know you could still run your business and run it effectively uh there which is a great benefit for me and for a lot of people who decide to get into affiliate marketing pro number five.

You don't have to worry about customer service now this is a big deal if you are promoting your own product or creating your own service you got to deal with your customers and you got to deal with any problems or any billing issues or any situations that might arise.

Whereas an affiliate marketing you have to deal with any of that because it's not necessarily your product all you are responsible for is bringing traffic to that product and once you make the sale you get your commission and that's it you don't have to deal with the customer and any headaches that come.

With that so that's a really great way to be able to focus on you know generating income and making money without having to worry about all the back-end stuff that most businesses and most entrepreneurs have to deal with.

When they are selling their own product or services all right pro number six is the passive income now you know it's people talk about it all the time making money when you sleep making money in your sleep all that kind of stuff.

But you know how can you actually do that and do that tangibly and do that in a way that's like you know not killing your affiliate marketing is a way to do that because affiliate marketing depending on what programs you're promoting.

You can promote programs that create residual income and these are different programs that will pay you a commission every single month in and month out and uh this is great because as you start to grow and as you start to scale this money starts to add up and before you know it you're making.

You know I mean you'll start off small maybe making a hundred dollars a month but then that goes to a thousand and then five thousand and then ten thousand and then their affiliate marketers to make hundreds and thousands of dollars every single month on repeat just from the basis that.

They build now this is not including one-time sales and one-time offers and upsells and down sales this is just residual off the bat every single month now could you imagine that imagine what making an extra ten thousand dollars a month for you regardless of what you do whether you decide to work.

Today or not or work this month or not you know you're gonna get ten thousand dollars into your bank account regardless how would that make you feel what would you do with that well that's what con and that is you know it's up to you it's you.

You are your own boss now some people look at that and they think that it's hard because you know no one's gonna tell you to wake up and to start promoting your business no one is going to be there to like force you to do any of this stuff up it's a business and being an entrepreneur.

It comes with that now for some people that's a con for me personally that's a pro you know that's something that uh you know you have to really find you why what's the reason that you are going to promote this business in the first place and it has to be more than just to make money.

CONCLUSION

I know I've talked about a lot of that in this  but it has to be deeper than that what are you trying to accomplish what kind of lifestyle are you trying to live what kind of impact are you trying to have understanding those key questions and those answers to those key questions are really going to help you.

Go past those points that it may seem difficult or may seem hard when you hit a roadblock or when you don't really feel like doing what you need to do what you know you need to do in your business in order to get the ball moving and to get the momentum built.

So that you can start generating leads and generating sales so um is that a con for some people yes which is why I put it on my list however it all depends on how you look at it because if at the end of the day you want independence the end of the day.

If you want to be an entrepreneur or if you just want to you know have a part-time gig where you're making money on the side online regardless no one is going to come to your house and make you do that stuff you have to kind of do that yourself.

And that comes from a deeper or want to want to do that and to want to actually grow and to actually want to be successful.
