Affiliate marketing is the best way to make money online without any investment. It is a process of selling the product or service of a brand/company. In short, you will sell a product through your affiliate id to earn a small amount of commission from a company. I shall explain all the processes in an easy way, so continue reading this article.

How to earn money through Affiliate Marketing

A new company or a brand can promote its products or services in two ways. By hiring a person who has their own face value or through affiliate marketers. The company has its own perspective value. Some companies ask affiliate marketers to sell their products or service and for selling their products, the company gives a little money to the affiliate marketers. Now, I give you a few names of affiliate marketing programs. For example Amazon Affiliate Marketing, Flipkart Affiliate Marketing, Godaddy Affiliate Marketing, Hostinger affiliate program, etc.

Types of Affiliate Marketing

There are many types of Affiliate Marketing. For example, Web hosting affiliate marketing, E-commerce affiliate marketing, Service affiliate marketing, etc.

Now, there is a question!! How much money can you make from affiliate marketing?

There is no limit to generating revenue from affiliate marketing. For a beginner, it may be tough to start earning through affiliate marketing. But, after a few days, it will be easier to earn money.

How to do affiliate marketing?

I hope you understand the meaning of affiliate marketing now. Again, another question for you, Why does a person will buy anything from your affiliate link? If this question comes to your mind, then you will find a way to interact with the people. There are 3 main ways to interact with people.

• without aiming anyone, anonymously
• Indirect way (showing your identity)
• Direct way ( aiming your selected people with showing your identity)

With the first method, it is very tough to make engagement with people. Because it is like throwing an arrow in the dark without aiming anything. Many beginners do this thing at first, and after a couple of days they leave out. Because they can’t earn money from it. In my opinion, it is the worst method.

Indirect way (showing your identity): Yes, you can earn a little money from this method. I mentioned showing your identity in the bracket. Why? Because in this method, you have to show your identity to build trust between you and the audience. You can share your affiliate link with a review video or a blog post about the product on the social media platform. With this trick, you will build a bond between you and your targeted audience.

Direct way ( aiming your selected people with showing your identity): A fully working method is this. Why? because with this method you will target a specific bulk of people to buy products/services from your affiliate link. But one main thing you should remember is that your niche and the customer niche should be the same. So, that your meaningful blog or video can impress them and motivate them to buy something through your affiliate link. In my opinion, the formula given below will help everyone to make money in this field.

A meaningful video + A meaningful blog = Earn money

Note: Do not create fake review videos or fake blog posts to earn money. Because the first time you will make a little money but you will lose confidence from the valuable audience.

As a result, you will also lose your face value and you cannot earn money from it again.
