Make sure you read this article ‘til the end because I will be sharing with you a lot of secrets that I’ve learned of doing affiliate marketing for over seven years. Then there will be you, as an affiliate. Where you will be promoting the products of the merchant through a special affiliate link. are doing it. But the important question is, how affiliate marketing will help you. Well, the biggest benefit is online earning on autopilot.
Today my websites are driving free traffic every month from Google and making my affiliate commission. So now let’s talk about who can learn affiliate marketing. You don’t need any special qualifications, you don’t need any technical background. All you need is one laptop, or a computer, and an internet connection. This is all you need.
The best part about affiliate marketing is that you are making money from the comfort of your home. There is no age limit, no massive course fee, only your willingness to learn, and your willingness to earn money online. I’m friends with people who are making $100,000 per month to $300,000 per month from affiliate marketing.
So now let’s talk about what is the best way to learn affiliate marketing. Well, when I started there was no one to guide me. No one to tell me the best tips, tricks, tools, or strategies that work. Well lucky for you, I’ll be teaching you and guiding you in every step.
You need a guide, a person who has made the mistakes so that you don’t repeat those mistakes. So now let’s talk about which affiliate network to focus on. There are thousands of affiliate networks in the market. I use 50+ affiliate networks to make money for my affiliate websites.
So which one should you choose? While there are more complicated ones like Clickbank and the Commission Junction, where you need the knowledge of advanced digital marketing to make money. only on Amazon. Amazon is the world’s biggest e-commerce website. US market.
Once you promote your Amazon affiliate link the cookie period is for 24 hours. So whatever the customer ends up purchasing in the next 24 hours, you will be getting the commission for that.
The second good point is that you will be getting paid the affiliate commission for the entire cart. So let’s say you refer someone to buy at-shirt. But the person ends up buying jeans, a cap, and a t-shirt as well. You will be getting the affiliate commission for the entire cart value and not just the product that you recommend. This is the best part about the Amazon affiliate link. And since Amazon has so much data and optimization, the majority of the people end up buying so many other products and not just the product you recommend. You can see in the image on the screen that the majority of the products that I sold are not the products that I was promoting but the other products that people purchased when I referred them and I still got the commission.
The third benefit is the Amazon brand. Amazon is now one of the biggest eCommerce websites in India. They spend millions on advertising and now everyone knows about Amazon. So there’s trust from the consumers from Amazon, so the conversion rate of people buying from Amazon is very high. This also helps in getting more sales and hence, making more affiliate commissions. I am getting a massive 3.5% conversion rate. So every hundred people I refer to Amazon, almost 3 – 4 people end up buying the products.
So that’s just amazing. So now let’s talk about how can you make money from affiliate marketing. The easy answer is to create a website and scale it. Don’t worry, I won’t just tell you this and end the article, in the next lesson of our affiliate marketing playlist, I will tell you how to select a profitable niche.
In lesson three I’ll show you a step-by-step in how to create an Amazon affiliate website like a pro. I will be sharing all the strategies that I've learned in the last 7 years of building and scaling affiliate websites. So make sure you watch our complete playlist. I even created a comprehensive e-book on how to scale an Amazon affiliate website from $0 - $1,000 per month and also how to scale it further to $10,000 per month. If you want this e-book, all you have to do is like the article, subscribe to our blog, and comment with “Yes, I want it” in the comment section below.
Once we reach a thousand likes, subscribers, and comments, I will make the link of this e-book public on the description section of this article. There are many benefits of starting and scaling affiliate websites. Just as I mentioned, the competition in India is very low. So if you watched our lessons and follow them to the heart, then I can guarantee that within few months, you will be making money.
You don’t even have to work on your website when your article ranks on Google search results. It’s free traffic, month on month. Unlike other platforms that come and go, Google is not going anywhere. So you don’t have to worry that Google will go out of fashion in a few months. People will keep on searching on Google.
There are many others ways apart from affiliate links that you can make money from your affiliate website. You get sponsorship opportunities, branches will start emailing you… you’ll also be making money from sponsored links, sponsored reviews. Like I am charging Rupees, Rs10,000 – Rs20,000 for one sponsored review. And also, in the end, let’s say you decide you don’t like the Amazon affiliate website, and you want to sell it. Then the website sells for 30x its monthly revenue.
So let’s say you’re making Rs10,000 from your website every month you can sell it for Rs300,000. Now I know that many of you will ask me in the comment section the other ways of doing affiliate marketing. Like opening a YouTube channel or doing it through Instagram. So let’s take each option one by one and share its pros and cons.
So let’s start with opening a YouTube channel. Yes, you can open a YouTube channel in any niche. Like many other Youtubers are doing, and they are also making good affiliate revenue. You can create a fashion-related channel and promote fashion-related products.
You can also create a technology-based YouTube channel and promote just like Technical Guruji is doing, but the main point to stress is that YouTube is getting competitive. Already for all the popular categories, be it fashion, be it gardening, be it technology, already Youtubers are dominating that niche.
It was easier a couple of years back when the competition was low, and also because of the Reliance Jio wave. Now the majority of the profitable niche has a channel dominating. Now, I’m not saying that you won’t be able to do it. Yes, you can open a YouTube channel and you will be able to scale it. But it is extremely difficult. It will be difficult to scale, you’ll have to be patient. You also have to show your face and you'll also have to invest in expensive equipment.
I will be creating a YouTube marketing course very soon on this blog so make sure you subscribe to get notified about that... But then again YouTube is more competitive compared to the Amazon alternative that I’m telling you.
Now, let’s talk about promoting affiliate links through Instagram. One thing that I should mention is that every social media platform comes and goes. So Instagram might not be able to survive in a couple of years. Also getting followers in 2019 is extremely difficult compared to a couple of years back. Every social media platform is going with the pay-to-play model. Like the case of Facebook, earlier the organic reach was very high.
So let’s say you have 10,000-page likes, if you post a new post, you’ll be able to reach that 10,000 people. But now Facebook wants you to pay money to reach the people who even like your page. Now the competition on Instagram is also growing because the people know that there’s money to be made.
And also Instagram wants you to pay money to get those followers. So the organic growth is down. And the worst part about Instagram is that there is only one place where you can add the affiliate link that is the bio. So the number of links of affiliate links will be far less and hence the oral commission that you make in a month will be much lower. And this is why I don’t recommend Instagram as the only source of promoting your affiliate links.
The same goes for a Facebook page or a group. The organic reach is dead, so you won't able to promote your affiliate links in a profitable manner. So I don’t recommend either going into Instagram or YouTube or a Facebook page or a group… rather the smart strategy is to go into a low competition area and dominate it before it gets too competitive. Also, once your affiliate sites start getting traffic, you can move to these verticals either YouTube channel or Instagram account.
Trust me I’ve been doing this for almost 7 years, I have tried and tested everything. The best strategy is to first start a website, scale it, and then move to the various verticals of YouTube and Instagram. This has given me the best results.
So what is the process of making money from affiliate marketing through a website? Everything is explained in detail in our affiliate marketing course. But right now, I’ll be giving you a general overview of how all these works. The process will be something like this.
The first step is to do niche research. I will help you find low competition and profitable money-making niche. Then in the next lesson, I’ll share with you how to start a pro affiliate website.

Also, I’ll be telling you the mandatory things that you need to follow so that your account doesn’t get banned.
The third step is keyword research. I’ll share with you the exact strategy that I use to find low competition keywords that someone else. I have spent thousands of dollars in knowing the best article structure. How many words your article should have? What should be the button color? I have tested everything. And I’ll be sharing the perfect article template with you in one of the lessons.
The next step will be signing up for the Amazon Associate account. How to sign up? How to get approved? And how to not get banned.
The next lesson will cover the most important detail. How to get your article on rank number one on Google search results. So let’s say your website is about guitar and you write an article like “best guitars marketing".

Once it’s grown up, all you have to do is spend a few hours on your website and it will keep giving you fruits for many years to come.
Now let’s talk about common affiliate marketing mistakes. New affiliate marketers make the following common mistakes. Even I made them when I got started.
The first mistake is not showing patience. You won’t start making money on day one. Rather, slowly and steadily you will be scaling.
