4. About the Author
For those of you who don’t know me, my
name is Sujoy Mukherji, and I am an Affiliate
Marketer, Entrepreneur, and professional
blogger. I’m the founder of the Affiliate Hub
Blog (www.theaffiliatehub.net).
Being an Internet Entrepreneur is near and
dear to my heart. I love everything about the
affiliate world (well, almost) and I have been
ingrained in the affiliate marketing industry
since 2002.
I’m not your typical rags-to-riches story, those are just annoying and you
can head to any “make money fast” site online if you want to read that.
Instead, I am going to explain exactly how I got acquainted with the affiliate
world and what my path to success looked like online.
A little back story about myself
Growing up I was always a big dreamer… I know I wanted to be great at
something. I just wasn’t sure what. My first goal was to be a football player.
My problem, I wasn’t fast, and I wasn’t tall enough. My whole game plan to
become a professional state-level football player got destroyed.
Move forward 12 years later, when I was in school for computer science. I
wasn’t all that interested in becoming a coder for the rest of my life, but I
was very much interested in the business application of computers which
was why I went to the college for Computer Science.
While I was in school during a “lab”, I discovered affiliate marketing from a
fellow student. He was making decent money with it already and was very
4

5. cryptic about how it worked, but they showed me their revenue stats and I
was blown away that they were making money on the Internet.
I saw others succeeding, I go to work
I saw the light, so to speak. I knew very well that if others could make
money online, I could make money online as well. I just had to get a grasp
of the concept of “affiliate marketing” and how it worked. I also needed to
figure out how to get traffic.
My first 30 days online
My first 30 days online were a real eye-opener. Back in 2002 when I
started, I surely didn’t have access to advanced website platforms like Wix
Website Builder Tool, where you can create beautiful-looking websites in a
few clicks.
It took me over a month to fumble through building my website from “code”.
It ended up looking like a dog’s breakfast as well, something I was proud of
at that time, but looking back my first work was horrendously ugly.
So my first month online, I built a website…something that you will be able
to do in minutes today.
The 3-month mark
At the 3-month mark, I made my first sale online. I was very careful when
rolling, the reason being that I didn’t understand things like search engine
optimization (SEO). I started within the PPC world with a budget of less
than $5 per day.
Before I started my campaign, I needed to do market research, find affiliate
programs, and properly construct ad groups. To show my old age (currently
5

6. 35), when I started with Yahoo it was the most popular pay-per-click (PPC)
network and I slowly learned the PPC game.
I made a few more sales in my 3rd month.
The 6-month mark
This is when things started to get interesting. I learned that once you have
a “formula for success down”, to increase your level of success is just a
matter of doing more of the same thing. In other words, SCALING your
business.
By month 6 I started to make consistent sales daily, my ad budget
continued to climb as I continued to re-invest my money into my business
which allowed it to scale. I was starting to near the $10,000 per month mark
around month 6, with a great deal of these costs going towards advertising.
The One-year mark
I graduated from school. I got a job. This is what “conventional wisdom”
said was to go about your life. So, that is exactly what I did. I followed
convention and I got a job that I didn’t love working as a
webmaster/designer for a telecommunications company.
I didn’t mind the work, but I didn’t love the environment. If you work in a
normal job, you can probably appreciate that most people don’t want to be
there and it can drag you down.
Things were going well on the affiliate marketing business front though, to
the point where I was able to quit my job a few months later and become a
full-time affiliate marketer. It felt incredible, it felt a bit risky, but I was at the
point where I was earning much more within the affiliate marketing space
than I was within my $57,000 per year job.
6

7. I can tell you though, that underlying risk and pressure when you take a
chance can serve your business well. It can be a true motivator and I know
firsthand that this has contributed to a great deal of my personal growth
(and business growth) over the years.
My Mission
If you are right here now, something tells me you’re serious about running a
successful online affiliate marketing business and that you have an
entrepreneurial spirit; a drive that most people don’t have, and a willingness
to LEARN.
I hope with the assistance of my eBook you will be able to have your
complete digital lifestyle and that financial freedom that you always desired.
I strongly believe each one of us has an Entrepreneurial side to us. It’s just
that we need to harness it!!
I believe you’re an ENTREPRENEUR!!
Here’s to your Success,
Sujoy,

8. Affiliate Marketing Overview
Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate earns a commission
for marketing another person’s or company’s products. The affiliate simply
searches for a product they enjoy, then promotes that product, the more,
one more filled earns a piece of the profit from each sale they make. The
sales are tracked via affiliate links from one website to another.
8

9. Because affiliate marketing works by spreading the responsibilities of
product marketing and creation across parties, it manages to leverage the
abilities of a variety of individuals for a more effective marketing strategy
while providing contributors with a share of the profit.
To make this work, three different parties must be involved:
1. Seller and product creators
2. The affiliate or advertiser
3. The consumer
What I Wish I Knew When Getting Started With Affiliate
Marketing?
Hopefully, this guide of mine shall help you avoid some pitfalls and some
embarrassment of losing some money when you first start with affiliate
marketing.
When I first got into affiliate marketing the first thing which drew me to the
affiliate marketing business model is that you don’t need your products, you
don’t need to comply with customer fulfillment like e-commerce but the fact
that you simply promote other people’s products and you get paid a
commission. Right?
It’s all about Automation
One thing I wish before getting started with affiliate marketing is that I did
not have the proper guidance and was doing it all wrong by starting off
promoting affiliate offers from the biz-opportunity niche, i.e. promoting
business opportunity, promoting make money online opportunities, and the
way I was doing it was that I was trading my time for money.
9

10. So, the first thing I wish I knew was that you don’t want to trade your
time for money. But, you want to learn about Automation, Sales Funnels,
Email Marketing, Driving Traffic, and practically, to go on an Auto Pilot
stage.
The wrong way to do it is when I first started with Affiliate Marketing and it
was so painful. After all, I was getting multiple rejections because I was
always emailing people, and spamming my leads.
I even went to the extent of texting people to buy contacts to grow my leads
(subscribers) and frankly, it was very embarrassing facing all that rejection
from people saying that I was Scamming them and all other hellish
feedback which you can imagine.
If I knew of automation well over time, my life would have been much
easier by not listening to constructive criticism, I wouldn’t have been
dealing with people who would say the product I am trying to promote is
illegitimate, and all of that negativity.
So, one thing I highly recommend is the process of automation!!
10

11. You need a lot of Traffic
Now, another thing I wish I knew is that you need a lot more traffic than you
can think. What I mean is that you need a lot of people to see your offer.
You need to get a lot of eyeballs on your affiliate offer. If people are not
going to see your offer, you’re not going to see any sales.
From my personal experience, a really good sales presentation converts
anywhere from 1% to 3%. Let’s break that down, 1-3% of 100 clicks is
equivalent to 1-3 sales. And, I am not even talking about making a funnel or
a landing page. What I am trying to say is that you need a lot of visitors to
make a realistic income.
Now, let’s say the product which you’re selling has a $30 commission tag
and you’re getting 1 sale per day with your 100 clicks. 1% of that is $30 per
day. To be honest with you, an extra $900 will do well for people but it’s not
going to get you rich. You won’t get the option to quit your job. ☹️
11

12. Realistically, you need anywhere between 300 to 500 clicks per day to
generate a real income. This is something which you should take into
consideration.
When you’re going to be in affiliate marketing, you are going to need all
that traffic!!
Be ready to lose Money
Now, another thing in Affiliate marketing that I wish I knew is you are going
to lose money and I was so afraid to do paid ads because every time I did
paid advertisement my ads wouldn’t make it right.
I felt like I was wasting money and to be honest with you, it takes money to
make money. You don’t learn something else unless you fail over and over
again. So, get this out of your head, you will fail, you will lose some money
and it comes with the territory. And eventually, you will succeed.
All it takes you is one successful ad to make you a bunch of money. That
ad is going to make you commissions and you will re-invest some portion of
that commission to maintain running that same ad.
Keep split testing your Ads
One thing I wish I knew before getting into affiliate marketing is with the
paid advertisement you need to split test and optimize. Testing is
Everything!!
12

13. I used to think sticking with one lucky ad campaign will make me rich and
that is not how it works. Well, you need to put up multiple ads. What I am
saying here is that you need to split the test. You need to split test
everything, starting from testing your sales process and testing your ads.
So, you need to always do split testing, optimizing, and improving because
that’s the only way you are going to be profitable. And that’s why a lot of
people fail in affiliate marketing because they do not keep testing.
You need to Upsell
Another thing that I wish I knew before starting with affiliate marketing is
that you should always be promoting with backend Upsells. Now you will
ask me what that means? Well, the initial product that you’re promoting is a
$30 sale. After a person purchases that product there should be an
additional offer.
After the purchase of that product, there should be another additional offer.
You should always strive to upsell some of your affiliate’s offers to your
clients.
13

14. Now, why is an upsell very important in the affiliate marketing business?
Upsell is simply a process when someone makes a purchase of your
affiliate product for like $30. They are then offered an additional product
that is congruent with that offer. From the advertisement perspective, it’s
going to increase your overall earnings per customer. I call it LifetimeValue
(LTV).
If you are selling a product that sells and converts well but there are no
upsells, right? Then, how are you going to make money with your paid
advertising for promoting that affiliate product? The bottom line, you have to
get good at paid advertising.
Invest in Yourself
Back in those days, I was so super cheap, I really didn’t feel like investing
in myself and if I could have done this all over again, I probably would have
invested in the paid courses much sooner.
What I mean is that when you invest in yourself you are buying this
person’s mistakes. What do I mean by that?
Well, somebody, who has been in the game for a long period, they're going
to show you how not to make those same mistakes as he had experienced
in the past as an affiliate marketer. He will guide you to let you know this is
what you need to do and this is what you need to avoid.
And finally,
14

15. Find a Mentor to Succeed
One thing I wish I knew before getting into affiliate marketing is that You
Need a Mentor.
Now it’s not guaranteed that everyone in the affiliate marketing business
has a mentor. You see what happens is that when you don’t have a
mentorship is that it’s going to take you way longer to succeed. And
especially in the affiliate marketing industry, time is money!!
Let’s say hypothetically speaking, even if you can invest $500 on a
mentorship program, it will save you thousands of dollars in making the
wrong mistakes in marketing your affiliate products, including paid
advertising, and help you generate thousands and thousands of dollars in
profit shortly by following the right advice, strategies, and tips by following
the guidance of a good affiliate marketing mentor.
15

16. No one start’s off with affiliate marketing the Right Way! There will be a lot
of trial and error. But, if you follow the right steps which I have laid down in
this post, you will do just fine. My main intention is for all the newbie affiliate
marketers to avert these mistakes and help you succeed faster and
eventually help you become a super affiliate.

17. 5 Tips To Become A Super Affiliate Marketer
Here, I have laid down my 5 Tips to Becoming a Super Affiliate Marketer -
Tip #1: Pick an Affiliate Niche
This is the first and most important step as you need to decide which niche
you’re going to target.
Preferably something you’re already passionate about.
Tip #2: Build a Website or A Social Media Community
An effective technique for affiliate marketing business is to own a website
or focus on a few social media platforms, like having a Facebook group,
Instagram, Twitter, etc. to have a platform with which you can market your
affiliate products on.
17

18. Tip #3: Build and Generate a Lot of Traffic
What you’ll need is to build up traffic for the product you’re trying to sell.
This can be achieved by creating great content daily or as often as you
can, and by practicing effective SEO techniques.
On your website, you should be aiming to generate anywhere between
100-1000 per day.
If you’re using a few of your social media accounts, you should be able to
increase your followers.
Tip #4: Finding an Affiliate Product
To start with affiliate marketing, you’ll need an affiliate product to promote
and sell on your platform.
A good technique to use here is to find a type of product that even you
want to buy.
18

19. Tip #5: Promote Your Affiliate Offer
From my personal experience with affiliate marketing, marketing your
affiliate product is one thing, getting people to buy your affiliate product is
another.
Promoting your affiliate product (affiliate offer) can be done by generating
good engaging content, or by performing product reviews, or also by
creating posts comparing similar products with each other, e.g. a Samsung
TV with a Sony TV. Whoever’s looking to get any of the two should be able
to make up their mind :-)
Getting to be a good affiliate marketer is all about patience, hard work, and
the use of effective marketing strategies.
If you follow the above guidelines, then I assure you that with time you will
be on your way to becoming a super affiliate marketer just like me.

20. Why Do Most Affiliate Marketers Fail In Affiliate Marketing?
For most people, like you and me, Affiliate Marketing is an attractive
business model that gives us the potential to earn some high commissions.
But is this what is the reality? Or just a gimmick attraction to lure people like
you and me?
Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the very best means of generating a
full-time income.
Like in other types of business, a great deal of profit in affiliate marketing is
contingent upon the affiliate’s promoting, advertising, and promoting
various strategies.
As the affiliate marketing industry keeps expanding, competition heightens.
Affiliate marketers must be creative enough to use unique and effective
ways to convince potential buyers.
Unlike Traditional Advertising practices, affiliate programs are more
effective, risk-free, and cost-efficient.
So below, let me talk about the main reasons why most affiliate marketers
fail in affiliate marketing.
You have to Invest in Yourself
As an affiliate marketer, you have to invest time and a wonderful amount of
hard work in promoting the products if you want to earn some big
commissions.
The competition is quite high, and your customers nowadays are extremely
intelligent and wise.
20

21. Mostly, your customers are seeking to pay less to purchase any affiliate
program which shall have the best value for money in terms of quantity and
quality.
You need to be Well Prepared
Being prepared is crucial in the affiliate marketing business.
Lack of preparation is also a reason one fails in affiliate marketing, whether
he’s an affiliate or a merchandiser.
As in affiliate marketing, your main chunk of focus should be on
researching.
On the merchant’s part, he/she has to be highly selective in selecting the
most appropriate affiliate sites for his affiliate program.
Let’s face it, your merchant must have exhausted his means in searching
for affiliates whose sites are certain to fit his products and services.
21

22. The visitors of his affiliate site must match his client requirements.
On the other hand, the affiliate marketer must research good-paying
merchandisers/vendors. So, they can receive a good chunk of the
commission concerning commission volume, gravity, recurring commission,
up-sell benefits, good affiliate marketing tools by the vendor provided to
their affiliates, etc.
Your Website is Critical to the Success
A website is a tool in the affiliate marketing program.
You should plan how your site will be, from selecting a good domain name
to the designing of your site, the layouts, the articles, and the ads.
Some customers are particular about what they see at first glance, and so if
they find your site to be less attractive and awful, they won’t waste their
time looking at your site.
Some people want more information.
Marketers with “rich-content” websites are typically the ones who prosper
in the affiliate marketing industry because giving out good content
increases search engine rankings and thus generates, more traffic.
Websites with keywords that are relevant to your audience and having
higher quality contents help to get your site more SEO optimized.
Having the right information about the product and service and not only a
bunch of hyped-up advertisements will permit you to earn big in affiliate
marketing when you are asleep.
If you are unable to sustain the interest of your site visitor, you won’t be
able to lead them to buy your affiliate offers.
22

23. To keep the equation simple, no click-through means no income and so, no
sale on your part.
Not selecting a Top-Level Domain Name
Selecting a top-level domain name is also imperative to the success of your
affiliate program.
Your site must get listed on major search engines, like Google, Yahoo,
Bing, etc., and major search directories.
You should know first what you will be promoting before you decide on
selecting a domain name.
23

24. Not Investing Your Time to Learn More About Affiliate Marketing
To be successful in affiliate marketing, you must be willing to learn more.
As an affiliate marketer, you must continue to constantly educate yourself to
improve your marketing strategies.
Most affiliate marketers fail because they don’t grow in the business and
they are concerned about earning commissions quickly.
If you want long-term and extremely satisfactory results, take time to learn
the ins and out of the business.
Continue to enhance your knowledge, especially in the line of
programming, web development, and search engine optimization
techniques.
Study the way different merchandisers compete with one another and the
needs and wants of your site users.
Don’t get disappointed or disheartened.
You see, the possibility of skyrocketing your income and commissions.
Signing-up with the Wrong Affiliate Program
Don’t just sign-up for an affiliate program without carefully understanding
each aspect of the affiliate marketing business.
When they don’t get instant results, they stop and sign-up for a different
affiliate program.
When you register for an affiliate program, don’t expect to get rich in an
instant.
24

25. Keep working on your advertising strategies and be patient.
If you stay focused and consistent with your marketing strategies, you will
crush it in your affiliate marketing.

26. Top 3 Affiliate Networks To Earn More in 2021
Before I go about recommending the Top 3 Best Affiliate Networks for 2020,
it is first important for us to understand what an affiliate network is?
What is an Affiliate Network?
An affiliate network is an intermediary between an affiliate and a merchant.
It’s an automatic electronic program that involves an internet advertiser and
recruited webmasters.
What an affiliate network does is create a platform that companies can host
their affiliate program on.
These affiliate programs will have to follow all of the network setup rules
and also will have to pay a fee to these networks to host their affiliate
programs.
A very simple way for most affiliate merchants to get their affiliate programs
set up.
Affiliates generally need to apply for affiliate programs within these affiliate
networks, and it’s completely free to apply.
When accepted, the affiliates (which is you) get access to an affiliate link for
that affiliate program.
26

27. To add, you will have access to all the promotional resources to advertise
your affiliate offers effectively.
From then on, the process is pretty much very straightforward.
27

28. When a website visitor clicks on your affiliate link, he/she is redirected to
the advertiser’s website and if made a purchase, you as an affiliate receive
a commission and make a sale :)
I highly recommend that you always make it a good practice to cloak your
affiliate links.
This is a good practice in the affiliate marketing business.
It’s that simple!
Moving on, let’s now talk about the Top 3 Best Affiliate Networks for 2021.
1. ClickBank
It comes as no surprise that ClickBank is arguably one of the simplest
affiliate networks to join which pays you a high commission.
Clickbank features a wide selection of digital products to help you promote
to your target audience.
28

29. Pro Tip: It’s important to note that one cannot succeed as an affiliate
marketer without an audience. Most top affiliate programs won’t accept
your application to market their products if you don’t have a significant
audience on your website or blog.
One of the best ways to generate an audience for your niche is through
blogging.
You may also like to do a bit of video watching on YouTube on how to start
a blog with a little amount of capital and ways to drive traffic to your blog
site.
29

30. ClickBank Account Registration
Opening an account with ClickBank is fairly easy and it’s free to join!
There are two methods of getting paid through the Clickbank platform,
either by direct deposit to your checking account or by check.
They do provide you with a vast variety of digital affiliate programs to select
and join by browsing their marketplace.
2. Teachable Affiliate Network
Teachable is a web course creation platform just like Udemy.
It has over 18 million students worldwide taking up to 250k courses since
starting in 2014.
It enables creators to make hundreds and thousands of dollars selling
online courses.
30

31. With its wide array of course offerings, Teachable allows its large student
audience to have a bright future when it comes to e-learning in the years to
come.
Teachable does offer an attractive affiliate program with a high commission
rate.
The Affiliate Enrollment Process
Like any other affiliate network, you need to fill out an online form.
After submitting your online registration form, someone from the Teachable
Affiliate Network Team will need to manually review and approve your
application.
When your application gets approved you shall be provided with an affiliate
referral link to market Teachable courses.
As an affiliate, you will be making a 30% lifetime commission on a
90-day cookie.
The average commission per sale, per month, is $20.70.
The Teachable average student (customer) sticks with a course for 8
months.
So, let’s do the maths, $20.70 x 8 months = $165.60 per sale.
Payment Option
Teachable affiliates have PayPal as a payment option.
The minimum payout threshold is $50.
31

32. If you haven’t reached the minimum payout threshold, your earnings get
automatically rolled over to the following month.
I generally prefer affiliate programs providing a recurring commission
structure, and the Teachable Affiliate Program does that!
Additional Feature
As a Teachable affiliate, you can track visits, clicks, conversions, and
revenue using a real-time reporting system.
Not to mention, they do have a dedicated support team to assist you.
Finally,
3. Rakuten Affiliate Network
Formally known by the name LinkShare, Rakuten is one of the highest
affiliate networks to hitch.
For six years in a row, it was voted as the #1 affiliate network.
They do provide over 1000 merchants to select from, and they even have a
user-friendly dashboard.
32

33. Rakuten mainly runs rotating banners and customized deep linking.
Like most affiliate networks, to run any ad units, you first need to be
approved by each advertiser.
Just select the ad offers which suit your audience, and you shall be
provided an affiliate link or tracking code.
The Rakuten Reporting System
Rakuten also features a reporting system to assist you to adapt easily to
the platform and the way your ad units are performing.
The Payment Process
Checks and Direct Bank Deposits are the only two payment method
options available right now.
They don’t provide any PayPal option.
33

34. The Minimum Payout Threshold is $1.
This means you can take out large volumes of your commission earnings
without maintaining any balance threshold.
So, there you have it, I have provided you the Top 3 Affiliate Networks to
earn more this 2020.
The main reason I am recommending these affiliate networks is that I have
tried and tested them for a substantial period.
The quality of affiliate programs offered by these affiliate networks is very
reputed and has a great conversion rate.
Affiliate networks like Rakuten and Clickbank have tied up top companies
who are willing to offer you great commissions.
So, which affiliate network are you joining today?

36. CPA vs. Affiliate Marketing
If you want to grow your business and generate more leads or customers,
bringing in the power of CPA vs. Affiliate Marketing can be the best idea.
That being said, sometimes you can only use only one of these and still
obtain plenty of success.
It all comes down to understanding what CPA vs. Affiliate Marketing can do
for you, and then you adapt everything to your own needs.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate Marketing relies on the use of affiliate services to promote your
programs, and website owners will start promoting your business and
products with the idea of making a profit from their sales.
And yes, each time you get a sale through an affiliate, you will have to pay
them a portion of the income.
This is a system that works well for all kinds of services and products.
It’s seamless, and it allows you to promote your business naturally without
having to spend time doing it yourself.
36

37. Even small companies are offering affiliate programs, a testament to how
helpful these things can be.
Businesses use Affiliate Marketing to promote their product and website
owners or Affiliate Marketers will add their affiliate link to an article about
that product/service with the idea of generating sales.
This is a great approach because everyone wins, you have great control
over the entire process, and the payoff alone is second to none every time.
If you start as an Affiliate Marketer, you will need to create a website,
choose a niche, and create content that your customers enjoy.
They need to trust you to press the button and purchase the affiliate
product through you.
Now let me give you a rundown of CPA Marketing.
CPA Marketing
In many ways, CPA marketing is similar to affiliate marketing.
You can find it for a plethora of niches, products, and services.
The way it works is also really simple.
The user visits your site, clicks on the link, fills out the offer, or user
completes an action, and that’s it.
The difference is that Affiliate Marketing comes from the manufacturer or
seller, but CPA marketing can come from networks or marketplaces with
multiple sellers.
If you become a part of the CPA network you will be able to access a whole
lot more products in different niches.
37

38. Unlike Affiliate Marketing, CPA doesn’t rely on sales.
You still have to sell your offer to your customer-CPA-seller approach, but
here you can get paid for more than just sales.
You can get paid for ebook downloads, app installs, sales calls, email
submissions, and form fills, among many others.
So, which is the best?
To be honest, it depends on what type of website you have and how you
approach your customers.
It’s always great to avoid dealing with the sales process directly, so in many
situations, CPA Marketing might work well.
On the other hand, Affiliate Marketing does allow you to establish yourself
as a great name in the industry and you can even create a brand around
your business.
It’s a good idea to try out both of them and then you will have no problem
finding the right option to suit your needs!

39. 5 Affiliate Marketing Strategies To Use To Boost Sales
Ignorance is the biggest mistake that most people investing in affiliate
marketing make.
People who jump into the industry without a clear plan always land in
trouble for not researching and gaining knowledge about this industry.
Everyone that adopts a concrete strategy of affiliate marketing always has
a chance to make profits through the programs that they choose to invest in
for maximum profits.
In this section, I shall be focusing on the 5 most effective affiliate marketing
strategies that can help you boost your sales and those to avoid using.
1. Exercise Caution when Picking Your Affiliate Niche
What do I mean by saying this?
Well, it is pointless to rush into investing in an affiliate niche that does not
suit your preferences.
Say, you are more interested in the health and fitness niche.
But instead, you decide to go ahead with the financial niche because you
feel it will be more profitable.
In case you settle for such a niche, it is more likely that you shall be
spending a lot of time studying this new niche.
The more time you consume, the higher are your chances of losing your
opportunities to your competitors who may be better than you in the same
niche.
2. Embrace Product Reviews
39

40. Publishing high-quality and authentic reviews about the product that you
want to promote help you subconsciously increase your sales for that
product.
You can also publish your reviews from the analysis which you acquire from
your clients through blog posts to make it easier for people to access them
easily.
If your product reviews are dishonest, they can make your customers
skeptical about buying your affiliate product.
Say, if you want to write a genuine review about an affiliate product that you
want to promote, don’t just stick with the pros. Do also talk about the cons.
40

41. People will realize that your review is genuine and will start trusting your
content.
Moreover, featuring affiliate links in your blog post allows your clients to
acquire more information on the goods that they want to purchase.
3. Offer Incentives
By offering bonuses, you are more prone to acquiring new customers to
your affiliate offers.
Incentives should be relevant and valuable as they win the attention of your
clients.
It encourages your clients to follow up on your affiliate links and purchase
the products they choose.
When every product that you provide in your link attracts the most
exceptional value, everyone wants to visit your website and purchase them
according to the possible profits that they like to earn.
It is crucial to partner with your merchant so they can offer you the correct
affiliate code for your clients to follow up on when purchasing your affiliate
product.
Promoting your affiliate products through social media is an excellent way
to attract your clients and make them know more about your products.
The best way to go about this strategy is to join a few Facebook groups
catering to your niche and provide value by participating in those groups.
This shall also include the bonuses and discounts that you would like to
offer to them.
To add, you can also do webinars with your social followers.
41

42. 4. Focus on Email Marketing
Having an email marketing strategy in place helps your affiliate marketing
business to maximize profits.
Email marketing refers to a type of digital marketing where a business
sends email messages to a target group to convert them to buyers.
Often, affiliate marketers start by collecting emails from website traffic and
turn them into subscribers.
To do this you need to have a way of converting your website visitors to
give you their emails.
As mentioned earlier, you can offer them some kind of incentive (freebie) in
exchange for their emails.
Tip: Create a fantastic incentive that your audience can’t resist. Make sure
to offer a product (like a downloadable eBook) that will solve your
audience’s problem and help them to save time, money, and energy. These
incentives can be a cheat sheet, a planner, guide, ebook, etc.
Once you have a solid email list, you can use it to connect with your fans,
create automated emails, newsletters, and products.
5. Target on the Keywords
You must pay great attention to the keywords that you use to market your
affiliate products.
If your clients can access the right and specific keywords that you are using
to promote your products, then it will become easier for them to access
them.
42

43. The keywords that you set up always make it easier for anyone visiting
your site to get along with everything that you want quickly.
Using a keyword research tool like SEMrush can help you find the
keywords that are relevant and easy to rank for.
The sample keyword phrase “Six Pack Abs Exercise”
You can check the keyword phrase “six-pack abs exercise” which does not have any
volume, not trending, and has zero competition.
43

44. Trying to work on an optimized keyword or a keyword phrase helps you to
generate more organic traffic to your site or blog.
Trying an alternate keyword phrase related to my affiliate marketing niche “six-pack
shows how abs”
By typing the keyword phrase “six-pack abs”, you can see a better search result
showing you the volume density of the suggested keyword phrase, trend analysis,
keyword density percentage (KD%), etc.
44

45. That being said, let’s focus on the tips NOT to use while investing in
affiliate marketing.
Tips Not to Use While Investing in Affiliate Marketing
1. Failing to Track Performance of your Website
You must follow up on the progress of your website so that you can identify
the key areas that you need to change.
Here is a snapshot preview of my blog site showing the number of page views, bounce
rate, etc.
Stats show the source of my blog traffic and the demographics.
45

46. If there are issues that bring you closer to your downfalls, you should strive
to correct them or replace them with the right strategies that allow you to
develop and acquire better progress in your affiliate marketing strategy.
2. Promoting Poor Quality Products
Promoting an affiliate product that is not in demand and of poor quality is
the biggest mistake you can make in affiliate marketing.
If you know in your gut feeling that the product which you want to promote
is of poor standards, then I recommend you not to promote it at all.
This can severely mess up your customer’s trust.
I recommend you do some research and check out the reviews on Google
search or YouTube to have an in-depth insight before you go about
promoting it.
3. Failing to Focus on Support
Before promoting an affiliate product, make sure it has a good support
team.
A good practice would be to purchase the affiliate product which you are
trying to promote to your customers.
Make sure to check out all its applications (test out all its features), and
send out an email to its support team should you have any concerns or
doubts.
If you see that the support team is getting back to you in a day or two, then
you probably have made a good decision to promote this affiliate product.
While testing the support of an affiliate product, always think like a
customer.
46

47. Because at the end of the day the product which you want to promote
should be in a position to please your customers by offering
solutions quickly when required.
3. Focus on the Content
This is specifically important for bloggers who would like to monetize their
blogs with affiliate offers.
Make sure to offer helpful and high-quality content to your audience
revolving around your affiliate niche.
This will make it easier for your audience to click on those affiliate links or
sign-up with a trial affiliate offer.
4. Failure to Learn
Affiliate Marketing is all about learning the right strategies.
Learning from top affiliate mentors can help you acquire new ideas to help
you grow in the affiliate marketing world.
Try to copy some of the effective strategies being used by top affiliate
marketers.
See which specific strategy suits you best when it comes to marketing your
affiliate offers.
It’s sad to see most affiliate marketers fail in this business because they are
not investing their time learning the right strategies.
So, there you have it, my Affiliate Marketing Strategies to use to boost your
sales.
47

48. The above strategies which I have outlined are your go-to resource for any
niche to increase affiliate sales and get more money in your pocket.
You don’t need to buy those expensive ebooks or get sucked in a scammy
course to help you become a better affiliate marketer.
You also don’t need to spend money on your SEO.
All you have to do is start experimenting with a few of the above strategies
and see which one works best in your affiliate marketing business model.
How To Evaluate If An Affiliate Program Is Worth Your Time?
With many affiliate programs out there in the market, selecting the right one
is often a challenging task.
Keenness in studying and evaluating such programs is vital.
By implementing the right approaches in selecting the right affiliate
program ensures that you get the proper returns on your investment.
Here, I have pointed out a few of the effective ways to help you evaluate if
an affiliate program is worth your time or not?
Commission Rate
The rate of commission is usually very crucial in determining the affiliate
program you want to choose.
48

49. If money is the crucial purpose of your selection, you need to focus on the
commission and their conversion rates.
Most people prefer a commission with a higher conversion rate.
It’s quite simple if the rate of conversion is high, there is a strong likelihood
for you as an affiliate to earn a higher commission.
Researchers have, however; proven that affiliates with a low commission
can, at times, generate more profits if the conversion rate is high.
Competitors
Though competition is at times a negative matter when selecting an affiliate
program, it at times proves to be a good gesture while marketing a specific
product.
Before venturing into a product that you want to market, you must research
and measure the rate of its competition.
When many people are selling and marketing the same product, the
product is likely to have some high value.
Such products can bring more profits if you choose to invest in the latter.
You should, however, be keen to focus on the saturation level of the
product to evaluate if it hurts the initial budget that may have been planned
for you.
The more saturated a product is, the higher your chances of spending
more capital marketing it.
49

50. Restrictions for Product Promotion
Researching the different promotions offered by a program allows you to
know the limitations you ought to face while handling your affiliate program.
Some affiliate programs do not endorse Facebook advertisements and this
may severely limit your potential to market that product.
Especially, if you are having a good number of Facebook followers :(
The Type of Product
Your niche determines the program that you want to invest in so that you
can make profits.
If an affiliate program can’t allow you to invest in the product that you want
to make profits in, then you should ignore it and select a new one.
50

51. Moreover, you must select products that have a high value and those that
are likely to bring you a high value throughout the year.
I can term these affiliate products as “Evergreen” products.
Finally,
Mode of Payment
The method in which a company pays its affiliate should be your utmost
consideration before you invest in that affiliate program that you want to
market and promote to your target audience.
Make sure to check out your merchant’s mode of payment policies.
Say, if you require cash in between the payment periods, you must choose
an affiliate program that pays in the specific period that you prefer.
Here is a sample of the commission payout structure by ClickMagick.
This could be either giving out payment end of each week, bi-weekly, or
daily payment cashouts.
It also depends on whether the affiliate program investment is your
part-time venture or not.
51

52. By now you have a better understanding of what to look out for when
evaluating an affiliate program.
With the right knowledge, flexibility, implementing the right strategies, and
willingness to learn, affiliate marketing can be really rewarding for you.
Just remember to promote the right kind of affiliate program which has a lot
of demand in the market.
Your primary aim as an affiliate is to promote a product that shall provide a
solution to your customers.

source of useful data across on-page SEO, social media, rank-tracking,
market analysis, and much more.
5. Grammarly
In content marketing, spelling and grammar mistakes create leaks in your
sales funnel because your work doesn’t come across as a professional.
It seems like such a simple thing, but it’s amazing how a reader will pick up
subconsciously and make a judgment about it as a result.
Grammarly is the answer :)
It’s a fantastic tool that works in the background, constantly checking your
