The EASIEST Money Making System We’re Using In 2022

4. I could have easily named this guide “ How to Make Your First Million Dollars
Online With Affiliate Marketing ” and I’m sure that such a title would have enticed
more people to click on and download it, but I didn’t want to put a big number on
the title for a few reasons, let me tell you what they are:
The first reason why I chose this title is because I intend to only share this
information with action takers, people who aren’t afraid of going for what they want
in life.
My gut feeling told me that putting a big number in the title would only help to
attract more of those looking for push button solutions, the types of people who want
to relax at the beach and magically make money fall into their lap while they sip on
margaritas.
If you are such a person, I personally encourage you to stop reading this guide and
move on to something else; this is definitely not the right guide for you.
This guide will focus on how to start a business with affiliate marketing, but some
of the strategies shared with you further down could easily be implemented into
growing many other types of online businesses, like on marketing your own product
or service. Some people have made erroneous assumptions about this guide on the
review section here on amazon, so I want to make it clear, this guide you will not
learn to make money online by filling out surveys or by unethical ways.
The information that you will learn here will show you how to start a legit online
business that you and your family can be proud of. I realize that I have made this
guide available for free, and this can make people be weary of its information, but
please don’t make the mistake of underestimating its valuable content.
The second reason I didn't put a big number in the title is because I wanted to keep
it realistic. Don’t get me wrong, affiliate marketing could easily be the gateway to
making millions of dollars on the internet, every day I find people who are doing
just that. But first I want you to realize that achieving this type of success with
affiliate marketing will not happen on its own nor will it happen overnight. If you
truly want success with an affiliate marketing business, you will have to take the
action and be willing to follow the steps that this guide teaches you.

5. I have tried my best to make the information on this guide to be extremely simple to

whether you are a complete newbie to the make money online game, or even If you
have been able to earn money before. Once you understand the concepts taught in
this guide, you will realize that earning money with affiliate marketing is actually
not that difficult.
Now, I won’t promise you the moon or a million dollars in commissions in just a
few days in order to lure you into reading it. The truth is that as someone completely
new to affiliate marketing, it could take a little while before you start seeing big
numbers in commissions, but it is indeed very possible to generate a full time
income from it in a matter of just a few days if you know what you’re doing.
I am very confident that the information contained in this short guide has the
potential to change your life. In this guide I have made sure to include only the best
ideas, concepts and strategies that thousands of online marketers use every day to
earn a great income on the internet.
If you read this guide in its entirety and follow this information exactly how it's laid
out, it is very likely that you will also see good results as well.
With that being said, I do want to warn you that not all the information and strategies
outlined in this guide may not work by the time you get to read it.
Affiliate marketing strategies change on a constant basis, and the tools that work and
generate money today can actually make you lose a lot of money just a few months
into the future, so in order to avoid the hassle of having to come back and update
this information every few months, I have decided to give the readers of this guide
free introductory access to our affiliate marketing training program. Through my

When I first started with my affiliate journey, I invested many thousands of dollars
on programs and spent hundreds of hours reading books, attending seminars, and

6. taking action on the information that I’m about to share with you for free. Having
done all of these things, the information within this guide and free introductory
course alone could be worth those thousands of dollars many times fold, in fact, that
is what a lot of marketing “gurus” are charging their students for it and not teaching
nearly as much as what you will learn through these resources. But I have decided
to give this knowledge away for free to the readers of this guide because I
understand the struggles that I went through when I was getting started with my
online marketing business and I want to make the path easier for you.
I personally would have loved to have the knowledge of techniques and tools
offered in this guide at my disposal when I first dove into affiliate marketing, but I
was not able to find such a thing, nor anyone willing to help me without wanting to
charge me an arm and a leg for it.
I tell you this because knowing this information will save you lots of time and
money that you could easily spend on trial and error. My goal is to cut your learning
curve in half and make things as easy as possible so that you can get started right
away. Life has blessed me with the gift to share this knowledge with others and I
want to use it to the best of my ability, this is why I have made it my mission to help
at least one thousand people by the end of this year. I do this because I personally
believe that when we give and help others, the Universe always finds ways to repay
us multiplied by many times.
Now that you know the good things that this information can help you achieve, I
want to give you a brief overview of what you can expect to learn.
But before I do that, I want to thank you for choosing to download this guide. The

8. So make sure to get comfortable, get yourself a nice cup of coffee, tune out all
distractions for the next hour or so, pay close attention and get ready to learn how
you can start an awesome affiliate marketing business the right way!
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a marketing model designed so that individuals can help
companies sell more of their products and services both online and offline.
As an affiliate marketer (also known as publisher), you will work within a referral
based system that allows you to earn a cut of the money that companies make from
sales made to people that you refer.
For example: There are two friends, let's call them John and Bob.
John is the owner of an important retail store. Every year he spends millions of
dollars in marketing and advertising in order to attract new customers.
One days he comes out with a plan.
Rather than continue to spend more money on advertising, he decides to give his
friend Bob a special number so that he can give to people who may be interested in
shopping at Johns store. Bob begins handing out the numbers to different people and
these people go and shop at Johns store.
John knows when Bob sends a new customer, because the customers will have
Bob’s special number with them. Thus every time a customer with Bob’s number
shops from Johns store, John will share a small percentage of that sale with Bob as
an incentive.
In a nutshell, this is exactly how affiliate marketing works.
How Much Can You Make With Affiliate Marketing?
The amount of money that you can earn with affiliate marketing will depend on the
product that you choose to promote. Often times, this amount can be up to 100% of
the total price of the product.
You can promote both high and low ticket products as an affiliate, low ticket
products range in price from $7 to $200 and high ticket from $297 -$25,000.

9. All and all, if I was to summarize affiliate marketing in five basic points, they
would be:
1. You partner with a company to help them promote a product or service.
2. You market and send traffic to these products using your own resources.
3. Some of those people purchase the product based on your recommendation.
4. You get paid a commission for those purchases.
5. You flip your boss goodbye, move to a mansion in Dubai and buy a Bugatti.
(optional ☺)
Benefits of affiliate marketing
There has never been a better time to start an affiliate marketing business than today,
and the opportunity continues to grow every day as millions of people turn to the
internet to purchase new products and services.
It is estimated that by 2020 about 80% of all business transactions will begin
online.
Experienced marketers know this, and they know that affiliate marketing is not going
anywhere anytime soon.
Therefore, if you want to make money online, it is very important that you take this
information seriously and follow these instructions as closely as possible so that
you also take your cut from this pie.
Still not convinced? Here are a few more reasons to start an affiliate marketing
business today.
It is easy to get started
Affiliate marketing is one of the best and easiest ways for anyone to make money
online. It is a billion dollar a year industry with a very low barrier of entry. You
don’t need any special degrees or high technical knowledge to make it work, the
door is pretty much open to anyone willing to step inside.
You can start with no investment
Affiliate marketing does not require a big initial investment. If you are strapped on
cash, there are plenty of free strategies that you can use in order to find people on
the internet who are interested in buying whatever you promote.
You can make money selling products that fall within your passion

10. Another important reason why I love affiliate marketing is because you can earn
good money while promoting products or services within your passion.
Amazon.com alone has one of the biggest affiliate programs, and if you have ever
shopped on their site, you can attest that they pretty much sell everything under the
moon.
This is great for us affiliate marketers because we can make commissions promoting
whatever items fall within our passion without getting bored or not knowing what
we are talking about.
You can work from anywhere in the world
You can work from anywhere in the world, alll you need is a computer and an
internet connection.
Who is affiliate marketing for?
Affiliate marketing is for people willing to create a new source of income using the
internet. Whether you are looking to make an extra $100 a month, $500 per month,
or even $1,000,000 a month, affiliate marketing can be a way to get there.
When done right, affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make really good money
online.
If you are an overachiever and dedicate yourself enough to master the affiliate
marketing game, you can earn incredible amounts of money right from the comfort of
your home or anywhere in the world, as long as you have a computer and an internet
connection at hand.
The wrong approach to affiliate marketing
Nowadays there seem to be a bunch of “gurus” teaching people to do affiliate
marketing by means of deceiving people in order to get them to buy their products.
These “gurus” teach their students to overhype their promises in order to increase
sales so that they earn more money in commissions. Gurus are training their students
to do this, even when they have never personally used, done any type of research, or
believe in the products that they promote.

11. Although this seems to be a way to make a quick buck online, I don’t recommend
anyone to take this approach. If you want to make good money with affiliate
marketing you need to treat it like a business, not as a get rich quick scheme.
The right approach to affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is beautiful when done in a way that adds value to people. In
other words, don’t get into affiliate marketing if you plan to spam people with offers
from products that you know won’t help them. If you do it this way, other than not
making many sales, you can end up pissing off a lot of people.
As an affiliate marketer your job is to identify a need in the market, find a solution
that satisfies that need (an affiliate product or service), and put that solution in front
of the people who need it. It’s simple! I have had people thank me before for selling
them an affiliate product and, in my opinion, that is the way that it should be.
How to Get Started With Affiliate
Marketing
The first thing that you need to do in order to get started with affiliate marketing is
to determine the niche (product category) that you will like to promote.
It is crucial that you do this step right and take your time to do good research on the
product and your chosen audience.
Good market research will help you to determine whether your product is worth
promoting or if you will be better off promoting something else.
Some of the best niches to get into this year are:
Evergreen niches- Evergreen niches are product categories that can be sold all
year round to a large demographic.

12. For example, people from all over the world want to lose weight all the time,
therefore this could be a really good niche to get into. Now do keep in mind that this
niche may already be saturated with competition and could be a bit difficult for a
complete as a newbie to get into, unless you already have a following of raving fans
on the internet or an amazing marketing strategy that will put you above the
competition. Other evergreen niches are, hair loss, acne, dog training, dating,
finance, self-help, etc.
Seasonal niches- seasonal niches are product categories that can only be sold
within a certain period of time or to a certain demographic. For example, if you get
into the Christmas tree and décor niche, you will only be able to make good sales
between the months of November to December. There are many other seasonal
niches out there. Some of those niches are:
● Christmas
● Winter clothes
● Summer accessories like coolers, swimwear, barbeque tools etc.
● Summer clothes
● Fall decoration
● Big sporting events such as World Cup, Boxing Matches, etc
Trends - This is one of the best ways to make good money online and do it fast. A
trend is a certain product or service that is quickly becoming or has quickly become
popular. Many internet marketers have been able to generate large amounts of
money by catching a trend during its beginning. Trends can be very profitable for
affiliate marketers, but you must know how to identify them early. Use tools like
google trends or other similar software and keep an eye on social media to identify
them. Some past trends where affiliates have made lots of money have been.
● Pokemon Go
● Facial Cleansing
● Beard Oil
● Coconut Oil

13. ● Finances
● Personal Development
Viral products- These are products that gain overwhelming amounts of popularity
within a very short period of time. These viral trends can last for as little as a
month, to as long as a year. A good example of a viral product is the famous fidget
spinner. These little toys gained wide popularity within kids and even some adults.
Catching a viral product in and promoting it during its infancy, can like winning the
internet lottery.
Tip - One quick way to find out if you have a marketable product is to look for some
competition. If other marketers are already promoting a product or products similar
to yours, it could mean that there is money to be made within your niche.
The free and paid methods
There are three methods that you can follow order to get started with affiliate
marketing. You can either get started using free, paid or both.
The method that you choose to use will have a direct effect on the amount of time
that it will take you to see results. See it this way, if you lived and L.A but wanted
to get to New York, there will be more than one way to do it.
If you want to get there fast, you can buy a plane ticket, which can cost you money,
but you can make it there in a few hours.
Or
If you wanted to get there and didn’t mind how long and how much effort it took
you, you can take the journey by foot, which will save you money, but it can be
months before you arrive at your destination.
My point is that regardless of the method you choose to adopt, you will have to
sacrifice something one way or another.
You can either invest a few dollars to buy tools that can make your job a lot easier
and achieve results faster, or you can “save” a few dollars, do everything by hand,

14. sacrifice valuable time and effort, to hopefully see results after months, or even
years.
Nevertheless, I don’t want to discard either one of these methods beacause people
have made money using both and you will have to decide on the one that adapts best
to your goals or current financial circumstances.
In order to help you make a more informed decision, here is a more in depth
explanation for each.
Free Method
Free methods can take a bit more work and obtaining results can be slower than if
you use paid methods, but it is indeed still very possible to create a lucrative
affiliate marketing business using free resources.
The only real advantage about getting started with affiliate marketing for free is that
it can save you a few bucks, other than that I can’t think of anything else that could
be beneficial in only using this strategy.
In order to make a free method work, you will have to do it right. As mentioned,
getting started for free will require some patience, as well as a good strategy. Here
is a free strategy that you can use in order to get started with your affiliate marketing
business today:
1. Create accounts on free social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube,
Twitter and Instagram.
2. Join multiple Facebook groups related to your niche.
3. Give as much value as possible to those groups. Don’t sell anything at first,
simply take time to answer people’s questions, like other people’s posts, be
friendly and create new connections.
4. Once you have gained people’s trust, begin to share links to your own social
media accounts and encourage people to follow you.
5. Continue adding value, both within your page and facebook groups.

15. 6. After you have created a good following on your own pages, you can start
promoting affiliate products or services.
7. Start making some money.
8. Rinse and repeat from step 3.
You can combine multiple free methods at once. For example, you can create a
YouTube channel or a free blog using platforms like wix or weebly and upload great
content related to your niche, then post the links to this content on the Facebook
groups.
YouTube is not only a great way to get free traffic, but also to build an audience. In
fact, YouTube is now considered the second largest search engine on the internet
today! You can use Facebook groups in your niche to find out what topics people
are most interested in and create blog posts or videos within these interests. This
could be a great way to drive larger amounts of traffic to your content and increase
the possibility of making affiliate sales.
Note- in order to make good money with affiliate marketing by using free methods
you will need a very sizable following on your social media pages.
Like I said earlier, free methods can take you a bit longer and involve a bit more
work at the beginning, but if you don’t mind putting in the extra hours of work, it is a
great way to get started.
The Paid Method
This is the method that I use and has given me the best results, therefore I highly
encourage anyone serious about getting into affiliate marketing to invest the time
into mastering this approach instead.
Investing some money into your affiliate marketing business will enable you to grow
your business at a much faster pace. A marketing budget will enable you to test
products a lot faster rather than doing it in an organic way. For example, it can take
you many months to get things rolling with a blog or growing a YouTube channel.

16. You will have to spend many hours creating content and marketing this content on
your own. You will more than likely have to visit countless forums or facebook
pages, and tirelessly share a link to your website or YouTube video with anyone you
interact with. Then, all you have left is hope that people will click on your link and
visit your website and pray that these visits can land you an affiliate sale.
Rather, by just bucks a month, you will be able to get access to tools that will make
your life 10x easier, and allow you to collect data that could help you to reach your
goals a lot faster.
The amount of money that you invest into getting started with paid affiliate
marketing will solely depend on you, and most of this money should be used on
purchasing traffic to test offers. If your marketing approach is to grow an audience
organically, you can get started with as little as $12 a month for hosting and a
domain then use the free strategy above to drive free traffic to your website and
offers. Keep in mind that this can still take some time and effort to make it work.
In order to get started with the paid method, you will need a few tools. These tools
are essential because they allow you to systemize the entire process, and once you
have it figured out, to pretty much make money on auto-pilot.
Here are the tools you will need access to in order to do paid affiliate marketing the
right way.
Offer - This is the product that will be promoted to earn a commission every time
you generate a sale. These could be physical or digital products and services.
Typically, you can get a product to promote for free from one of the affiliate
platforms mentioned below.
Website or op-in page (Landing Page)- As mentioned earlier, the website can be a
blog where you write articles about your chosen niche and recommend products
within the content of your articles for your readers to purchase or a capture page.
A capture page, also referred as lander, landing page, or squeeze page, is a page
specifically designed to capture someone’s information such as their name, email or
phone number. Capturing potential customers information is extremely important,

17. and a part that you can’t leave out of your marketing strategy, I’ll explain in a further
section why.
Traffic - These are people (visitors) that could be interested in your product. You
can get traffic by purchasing it from different platforms or for free by growing a
sizable following of people interested in your content.
Click tracker- This is software that allows you to track the number of people that
click on your links. For example, with this tool you will be able to know how many
people clicked on your link but never purchased, allowing you to optimize (change
wording, color, or structure) of your landing page or website. This tool is essential
in order to scale your business to thousands of dollars a day as it will help you to
identify which offer attracts more visitors than others.
Autoresponder- the autoresponder is a software that will allow you to send
automatic emails to the people who sign up to your email list through your landing
page. According to the way you set it, the software will automatically send pre-
determined emails by date, purchase type, or action type, to people who have
subscribed to your email list. We will discuss more about the importance of creating
an email list in the sections below.
Now that you know briefly what you will need, let’s go more in depth on how these
tools interconnect and how to successfully use them to create a profitable affiliate
marketing business.
The product
The type of product that you decide to promote can have a direct impact on the
amount of money that you make. With affiliate marketing, you must understand that
some products are always in more demand than others. For example, there is a
higher demand for weight loss products than for weight gain products. So, knowing

18. this, you should know that you will be more likely to generate sales by promoting
products in the weight loss niche than by promoting products for people who are
trying to gain weight. Your job as an affiliate marketer is to find products in high
demand, even better when these products solve people’s problems. The products
that you promote as an affiliate can be both physical or digital. Lets dive a bit
deeper into each one of them.
Physical products
A physical product is something tangible, it is typically something that will be
shipped to the customer, like a computer, cellphone, tv, etc.
Physical products to promote are all over the place. If your main strategy is to
promote physical products, you will be able to promote pretty much anything under
the sun. Nowadays, giant retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and
many others have affiliate programs that give anyone the opportunity to sign up
through their affiliate portals and help them generate sales in exchange for
commissions.
How to promote physical products
It is very easy to sign up as an affiliate with companies in order to promote their
physical products. To do this, simply visit their websites, scroll down to the bottom
of the page where you will find a link to their affiliate page. Below is a picture of
how this link looks in a few of them.

19. You should be able to find an affiliate program for most retailers on the homepage
of their websites, but for those who don't have listed a link on the homepage, a
quick google search would do. The best way to find affiliate programs for a
company you will like to work with online is to do a google search for: “company
name affiliate program” for example, “nike affiliate program”. There are a ton of
companies that you can become an affiliate for online , but you certainly don’t have
to work with all of them at once, my recommendation is to select the one that has the
product that you intend to promote, sign up with that company only, and begin
working towards promoting those specific products.
When you complete your affiliate registration, you will be given a special link and
this link will allow you to track exactly how many sales are generated from the
people who click and purchase the product.
Here are some of the most profitable physical product categories to promote:
● Electronics
● Sport gear
● Household items
● Wearable accessories such as watches, necklaces, arm bands, etc
● Health supplements
Keep in mind that some categories have a higher demand than others, so always
make sure to do your market research before selecting one.

20. Digital Products
Digital products are those such as EBooks, audiobooks, online courses, or virtual
services. Promoting digital products can be a bit easier than physical products
because most of them are offered online through instant downloads, and
commissions also tend to be higher. The process to promote digital products is very
similar to that of physical products. You will still need to sign up as an affiliate, but
in this case you will sign up with affiliate networks, rather than retailers.
How to promote digital products
In order to promote digital products you will have to join an affiliate network. An
affiliate network is a third party company that hosts multiple digital and, on some
occasions, physical products for affiliates to promote. They are basically the middle
man between the product creator and you.
One reason why promoting products through affiliate networks is important is
because they make sure that you get the right compensation for the sales that you
generate. Let’s be honest, the internet can be shady. If you are not careful with who
you work with, you can spend countless hours of your time working on promoting a
product and generating sales for a product creator only for them to deny your
commissions payout. Affiliate networks make sure that product creators are who
they say that they are, and that publishers (people like you and I) get the
compensation that we deserve for helping these product creators to generate sales.
Affiliate networks also make sure that guidelines are followed, they often also test
products before they allow affiliates to promote them. In a way, they help us
affiliates (publishers) to be safer when doing business with other people on the
internet.
A lot of these networks will also help you with training and guidance because it is
in their best interest that you create as many sales as possible. Today, there are
thousands of affiliate networks eager to work with anyone willing to promote their
products, like on anything else, it is important to do your research and find out
which affiliate network best fits your affiliate marketing goals.

21. How to sign up with an affiliate network
There are thousands of affiliate networks out there willing to bring in new affiliates
every day. Here is a list of the most popular ones and the ones I have personally
used:
● Clickbank
● Jvzoo
● Peefly
● Maxbounty
● Rakuten
The process for signing up with affiliate networks is very similar to signing up to
promote physical products. When you visit their websites, all of them will have an
option to create an affiliate account. Keep in mind that some of these networks will
use the term “Publisher” rather than “Affiliate”, but know that they are referring to
the same thing. So, don’t be afraid to go and create accounts with a few of these
networks, all of them will be happy to get you on their team.
Website or landing page
Today, not having a website should no longer be an excuse. Content delivery
networks like WordPress have made it extremely easy for anyone to create beautiful
and professional looking websites in a matter of minutes, even without having to
spend hundreds of hours sitting in front of a computer learning HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.
A website plays a very important role in affiliate marketing, more so when you
incorporate it into your marketing strategy.
Having your own website is essential because it will help you build trust with
potential customers.It will make you more professional in your potential customers
eyes. As an example, people will be more inclined to purchase a weight loss

22. product recommended by a website with the URL: www.myweightlossjourney.com
than to purchase a product recommended by a website with the URL:
superman83.wixsite.com/weightloss451544.
If you believe that creating a website could be that tedious task that can keep you
from achieving any type of success with affiliate marketing, do not worry, our
free mini course will show you how to make a professional website fast in just a
few hours!
A website can be used in a few different ways, but the way that you use to integrate
it to your marketing plan will ultimately depend on the strategy that you decide to
follow. Here is a couple of ideas on how a website can be used to generate affiliate
sales:
1. A blog - this I website that contains useful information about a specific
niche. I only recommend this strategy to those who love to write and are
willing to spend time or money producing quality content. But blogging can
indeed be a great way to earn really good money in the long run.
The reason why this model is no longer appealing to most internet affiliate
marketers is because in order to make it work, you will be required to create
large and engaging pieces of content that are specifically geared towards a
certain demographic (a demographic is a certain group of people interested in
a specific topic). Once you create the content, you will then need to invest
your time or money in order to rank your posts so that they can show up first
on the first pages of Google or other search engines in order to get your post
to attract organic traffic. In other words, you will need to have a website with
great search engine optimization (SEO), which can be another beast on its
own.
You will learn more about Search Engine Optimization on the introductory
section of our course.
Having a website with a great SEO score and on the first page of google can
become a great asset for your business for many years.
2. Landing or squeeze page - This is mostly what I personally use in order to
promote products with affiliate marketing.

23. A landing page can be created as an informative article (Advertorial), or as a
way to collect visitor’s information such as their email address or telephone
numbers. You can easily create beautiful landing pages with softwares like
clickfunnels, leadpages or instapage. Landing pages will also enable you to
install tracking pixels. These pixels can be very useful in order to retarget the
visitors that did not purchase or opted in to your offer for a fraction of the
price.
Anyhow, if you don’t know how a landing page works or how it looks,
simply think back at how you got to the point of reading this guide. I first
targeted you with an advertisement on a social media platform, and when you
clicked on it, you were immediately sent to the landing page, where we
exchanged your email address for this free guide.
In my opinion, collecting emails should be a MUST for every serious affiliate
marketer. What many marketers will tell you to do is to send traffic directly to
the offer or to an advertorial, and pray to god that you can generate some
sales. Although it is possible to make some money doing it that way, failing to
create an email list could result in leaving a lot of money on the table in the
long run because you will not be creating a foundation of potential customers.

24. I truly can’t stress enough about the importance of growing an email list.
Many people don’t do this because growing an email list can take more time
or money as you might have to pay for premium services to keep them stored,
but trust me, you will be glad that you did spend those extra 20 bucks a month
2-3 years from now. As a general rule of thumb, each person on your list will
generate you about $1 per month as long as you keep them engaged and
informed with good content.
Growing an Email List The Right Way
A customer’s email list, when used correctly, is used to interact, help, and
generate trust with your subscribers. An email list is NOT another way to
spam subscribers with unsolicited offers daily or sell them on crappy
products with the sole purpose to take their money. Once you grow your list
to a few thousand members, it will become a great asset to your business
because you will no longer have to rely on paid traffic to reach potential
customers.
Here is how an email list works
Let’s say that you promote a product on the weight loss niche. In order to get people
into your list, you must first target them with a free offer (also known as “lead
magnet”). This could be something like a free report on “the top 10 foods that make
you gain weight”, or “the 10 foods you should avoid if you want to lose weight
fast”, pretty much anything that these people will be interested in. Your free offer
should provide good information and add value to their lives, and the image used
should portray something worth giving away an email address for. Here is an
example:

25. Once you have your free offer ready, you will then send traffic to a landing page
created with the sole purpose to encourage visitors to exchange their best email
address for the free report, just like the one above. Your goal is to get as many
people to subscribe to your list as you possibly can, because once they do, you can
continue to reach out to them without having to purchase traffic from expensive
traffic sources.
Again, creating an email list should not only be about the money, you should also be
dedicated to truly help these people with their problems and become their go-to
person for questions and advice. If you do this right, these people will not think
twice about investing in the products and services that you recommend and you will
not only make really good commission, but some of them will also invite their
friends and family members to join your list, helping you to grow it without
spending money on buying traffic.
Traffic

26. You can have the best product in the world but if no one knows that it exists, you
will not make any sales. Traffic, and most importantly, the quality of traffic that you
get to your offers will have a direct effect on the amount of sales that you generate.
There are thousands of ways that you can get traffic to your offers, you can do it
using free methods and paid methods.
Free traffic
As we discussed earlier, you can harness the power of platforms like Facebook and
YouTube to create large followings and get free traffic to your offers.
Paid traffic
There are many ways to purchase traffic, but keep in mind that driving traffic to your
offers alone will not be sufficient to money online with affiliate marketing. In order
to make paid traffic work, you will need to know your offer and the type of people
who will be more inclined to buy it.
Before you invest money on paid traffic, take some time with pen and paper on hand
and write down the top 10 characteristics of the perfect customer for your product.
What does your customer look like? What is your customer's gender? How old is
he/she? What are their hobbies? What do they struggle with the most that your
product will help them fix or improve? Where do they work? Where do they eat
out? How much do they make a year? Are they timid, shy, lonely, etc. Create the
perfect avatar of your potential buyer and proceed from there. Creating a potential
customer avatar will help you to position your offer from the most effective angle.
An angle in affiliate marketing is a distinctive approach that your potential customer
will be able to identify with the most. Once you have created your perfect avatar
and decided on the angle, it's time to purchase traffic.
Knowing how to purchase and drive quality traffic to your offers is an essential
skill in making money online. Once you master this, you will not only be able to
drive traffic to your offers, but will also be able to use it for other marketing
purposes, such as driving traffic to your own business or charging businesses in
your local area for your paid advertising services. From there, technically, the
possibilities to make money become endless.

27. Learning to effectively drive paid traffic is extremely important. If you don’t take
the time to learn paid traffic, you can spend thousands of dollars purchasing it and
never make a cent back. I highly recommend you to learn as much as you can on
how to purchase and drive traffic to your offers. Don’t be afraid to invest money in
books, courses, seminars and anything else that will help you master it, because
once you do, you will be literally able to print money online. Below I’ll explain
briefly how paid traffic works and where to get it from.
Traffic from social media platforms
You can purchase traffic from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
Purchasing traffic from social media platforms has become one of the best ways to
get paid traffic online.
Paid social media traffic is great because these platforms collect a lot of data from
their users, and allow us marketers to use this data when creating our
advertisements. Facebook is the company that collects the most data, they know
pretty much everything about their users. They know their hobbies, their favorite
sports teams, what Facebook pages they like, where they work, eat, play and in
some cases, even how much money they earn.
FAcebook may also know if users own pets, have kids, work in an office, their
professions, pretty much anything you can think of. This is great for marketers
because when you purchase traffic from Facebook, you can get pretty targeted as to
who you want to see your offer. If you promote dog food, you can tell Facebook to
only show your ad to people who own dogs. Because of this micro targeting, some
of the biggest advertisers in affiliate marketing are investing most of their money on
Facebook ads because they know that they drive quality traffic.
Traffic from search engines
Search engine advertising is another great way to drive traffic to your offers. It is
estimated that Google alone gets approximately 40,000….searches per second,
which amount to more than a trillion searches per year! Paid online traffic is not
scarce, there are millions of people searching for products and services on the
internet every day and these search engines want to send you the best visitors that
you can continue to buy traffic from them. If google alone gets more than one trillion

28. searches a year, there is a pretty good chance that some of these searches are from
people looking for the products that you promote.
In order to advertise on these search engines, you will need to sign up for ad
accounts. To advertise on google, you will need an AdWords account. Signing up to
advertise on these search engines is as easy as making a google search with the
“search engine name” and the word “advertise” and signing up. Some of the major
search engines that offer paid advertising are Google, Yahoo, YouTube and Bing.
Traffic from native ad networks
This is another great way to get good paid traffic online. There are thousands of
native ad networks where you can buy traffic from. Native ad networks work by
placing your ads in hundreds of websites related to your niche. They get the name
“Native” because they try to blend their ads with the website’s content. Here is a
list of the best native ad networks to buy ads from:
● Taboola
● outbrain
● Rev content
● Ad blade
● AdSense (works with google AdWords)
● Bing
Traffic from solo ads
A solo ad is a shootout that you can buy from someone who owns a large email list
within your niche. The way that solo ads work is by purchasing click packages to
your landing pages. For example, if you promote a weight loss product, you can pay
someone who has already grown an email list in that niche to send an X number of
clicks to your offer for an X amount of money.
Solo ads can be a very effective way to grow your list in a specific niche or to even
make some affiliate sales right away. Another benefit of solo ads is that you can ask
the sellers for help in order to tweak your landing page in order to receive the best
conversions.

29. Today, an equivalent to solo ads is paying social media influencers to promote links
to your landing page. This works similar to purchasing solo ads. This method
consists of finding an influencer within your niche on social media with a sizable
following and offering to pay them for a shoutout to your product.
The methods outlined above are just a few of the thousands of ways that you can get
traffic online, but that should be all you need. Now, I want you to realize that each
of these traffic sources might require a slightly different marketing strategy
depending on the types of offers that you promote. Ultimately, it will be your duty to
learn as much as you can before investing your money on any of these ways of
advertising. Just like anything else worth a while in life, investing your money can
be risky, it will be up to you and the confidence you have on yourself as to how
much you are willing to risk.
My personal advice for you is to focus and master one of these advertising methods
. If you are just getting started and have never invested a penny on traffic before, I
recommend starting your advertising on Facebook. Learn as much as you can, join
Facebook groups related to your niche and spy on ads from marketers already
promoting your offers, check out their landing pages, funnels and implement some of
their strategies into your own business, this will be the best way to get started fast
and reduce your risk of losing money at the beginning.
Click Tracker
A good click tracker helps you to collect data in order to scale your campaigns
quicker. It enables you to keep count of exactly how many people are clicking on
your ads and how they perform in the market. Click trackers a great way to find out
which ad or landing page performs the best, in order to cut what doesn’t work and
focus on what does. Some of the most well-known click trackers are:
● Clickmagick (My personal favorite)
● V
oluum
● Clickmeter

30. ● Cpvlab
If you are serious about getting started with affiliate marketing, a link tracker is a
great tool to add to your arsenal. It can help you achieve your financial goals a lot
faster.
Autoresponder
An autoresponder is a program that allows you to set up messages that go out
automatically to people who have subscribed to your email list. These messages are
sent depending on the order that the person signed up, but you are also given control
to determine the frequency that these messages go out to your list. I usually set my
autoresponders to send one email a day Sunday through Thursday, but you will be
given the option to set this up to our liking. In order for an autoresponder to work
you must first write the emails that will be sent out beforehand. Autoresponders are
a must if you want to automate your communication with your list and eventually
make money while you sleep.
Just like everything else, there are thousands of autoresponder programs that you
can use in your marketing business, but unfortunately most of them are not very
reliable.
Choosing the right autoresponder is extremely important; it will give you the peace
of mind that your emails are sending on time and the assurance that your subscribers
are actually receiving them. I have tried many autoresponders in the past, but I have
never found anything better than mailchimp.

31. Mailchimp is very beginner friendly, they have an amazing support team and their
software is extremely reliable. I personally have never had an issue with them,
therefore I highly recommend it. Mailchimp also allows you to host your first 2,000
subscribers for free. That should be more than enough slots you need at least for the
next 4 to 6 months.
Other good autoresponders are aweber and getresponse.
Start earning your first commissions
Now that you know what affiliate marketing is and how each of the tools work, I
want to show you how they all interconnect in order to create a profitable affiliate
marketing campaign. Keep in mind that this is not all of what goes into affiliate
marketing, but this is all you need to know for now in order to start generating some
money from commissions.
Moving on, in this section of this free guide I want to share with you a strategy that
you can start using today. This is a basic strategy but it is all you need in order to
see results, it is the core foundation to all affiliate marketing campaigns. This
strategy works as follows:
It all starts with the traffic. With this strategy, you will drive traffic to a landing
page containing your free offer in order to collect email addresses from your
visitors. This traffic will be driven from your favorite traffic source. Once the
visitor arrives at your landing page and types in his/her email in exchange for your
free offer, he/she will immediately be placed into your autoresponders database
where you will already have pre-written a sequence of emails that will go out to
him on a daily basis.
Something else that will take place simultaneously during this step will be that the
visitor will be sent to your landing page “thank you page” or pre-sell page, where
he will be pre-framed so that he/she can purchase a low cost offer or be given more
information about your business.

32. For example, still using our weight loss niche example, you can give away a free
report on the top 10 foods to avoid in order to lose weight fast, and once the visitor
gives you his information, he will immediately be taken to a “Thank You” page,
were you will recommend $7 natural detox guide or provide further information that
will contribute to the value of your product.
The sales copy on the “Thank You” page can be something like: “ Thank you, I have
sent the free report to the email provided, allow a few minutes for it to show up in
your inbox. While you wait, let me tell you a bit about the benefits of a natural
detox… ” and proceed to talk about the benefits. After you explain the benefits of a
detox, you can recommend a $7 step by step detox guide written by an experienced
nutritionist.
Another method that you can utilize in this step is to provide your customers with
another free offer that compliments your original one. For example, if after the
visitors claim your report, you can offer them free access to your Facebook group,
ask to join your YouTube channel or have them take a certain action in your thank
you page. This can help you to create new ways to contact your leads rather than
just email.
These strategies could be a great way to recoup some of the money invested on paid
traffic and a great way to earn some income right away.
