SIX LESSONS TO AFFILIATE MARKETING THAT NO ONE TELLS YOU

LESSON 1: THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS. 

EVERY AFFILIATE MARKETER THAT YOU SEE TODAY HAVE GOOD OLD STRUGGLING DAYS.

So, don’t think that you can master affiliate marketing in no time.

It takes time, patience and experience to become a successful affiliatemarketer.

LESSON 2: LEARN FORM MISTAKES

A successful affiliate marketer knows what he is doing. If the returns did not meet his expectations, he would simple move to the next marketing strategy.

Successful affiliate marketers learn from their mistakes. We have lot of opportunities for affiliate marketing. But, a successful affiliate marketer will find the best opportunity.

And, don’t think that all these opportunities work for them. Some have failures.

But a successful affiliate marketer will learn from the mistake and will analyze the cause for failure.

LESSON 3: TIME VS RESOURCES

A successful affiliate marketer should choose the path which suits him the best. Let me explain it with a simple example. You can promote products in two ways.

The first method: Time

You can write a review article on a product and promote it. But this method requires time. As, the article has to be indexed in the search console which brings organic traffic.

Such articles should be written well with excellent SEO. But, it takes time for the search engines to send traffic to the article.

The second method: Resource

The second method obviously uses resources or money. Here you will promote the product through Facebook ads or good ads.

The second method uses resources instead of time.

A successful affiliate marketer should know whether to invest time or resource to promote a product. Both work well in their own terms. I have seen people who earn big amounts in both ways.

LESSON 4: SUPPORT

Successful marketers always arise as organizations. Have you ever seen a single person who makes good amount of money himself in affiliate marketing? Definitely not.

They always work in groups. They take the help of other in need. They form organizations to run affiliate marketing.

If you want to become a successful marketer, always lean to work together in groups. This can help in smooth running of your affiliate marketingstrategy.

LESSON 5: INVEST BIG

A successful affiliate marketing need good amount of investment. Both in terms of money and time.

Becoming affiliate marketing without money in hand is a myth. Never believe in such things. Yes! It’s true in today’s conditions.

Everyone talks about their earnings in affiliate marketing. But have you ever heard about how much they invested? Obviously No! Because, no one is willing to speak the bitter truth.

A successful affiliate marketer will have a history of huge investment on marketing.

If you want to earn good amount from affiliate marketing, you have to invest good amount in it. Because big investments gain big money.

On the other hand, if you are investing without an idea what you are doing, they you may lose your money in no time. So, have a clear idea of how much you invest and how much you expect in return. Do a perfect math before investing.

LESSON 6: HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION

A successful marketer will have a robust plan to implement every marketing strategy. They do not do it in a random way.

A perfect strategy should and will work for them in scaling their profits.

So, to become a successful marketer, have a robust plan of action in first place. This might work in some conditions, but may also bounce back in other conditions.

If your plan fails, analyze the failure and try to change them in your next implementation.

Let me explain with a simple example. In the beginning days, I used to do affiliate marketing using FACEBOOK ADS. But, I have no idea about finding the target audience, selecting their age and gender and keyword analysis.

As a result, I lost big amount. But later, I learnt from my mistakes. I started researching on keyword analysis and finding the correct target audience for my product on Facebook.

You have to struggle to find the best strategy that works for you. For this to happen, it takes some time and money. Be prepared for it.

A successful affiliate marketer will always have a series of steps he follows during marketing. This is his strategy.

It results in predictable outcomes. He exactly knows how much he would get in return for his investment.

If you can predict such outcomes, it is a sign of better marketer. Hence try to make a sitemap to success for your affiliate marketing.
