Whenever I write about earning, readers ask me, “ How do I make enough from it?”

For that I have written a story, 5 Simple Side Hustle You Can Start to Create Financial Freedom in 2021. It went semi-viral since it was genuinely in favor of readers with no spam.

So, “ How do I make enough from it?”

But I will say — Try and Test. If you succeed, execute it.

The main reason businesses fail is not for lack of capital — it’s for lack of knowledge.

Now we are talking about lack of knowledge. How we able to get it? My answer is the same through try and test.

Suppose you want to swim. Are you going to read a book? No, you will directly jump into the water.

I am not against Books, book needs for a successful business. I will be going to talk about books later. Even I am a Bibliophile and have written How to Digest Books Completely and Increase your Intelligence.

Do you have a Solid Reason?

Many a time, I use to watch Netflix, even I know it is a waste of time. At the same time, I can earn dollars through Web development or from Medium.

I don’t have any solid reason so far.

I don’t want to pay off my debt, take care of someone, create a business. So I am not able to concentrate on Earning.

You have to ask the same question, start with Why. Ask yourselves, do you want to create it.

I jumped over to numerous businesses without any interest and lost everything.

So ask yourself.

After you are ready and have a solid reason to earn, read further.

How you are going to Earn an Extra $51,465.

Through Affiliate Marketing.

Yes, many of us hear people talk about affiliate marketing.

The Internet offers limitless opportunities for earning a living. It might be Digital Marketing, building websites, content writing, freelancing.

But do you know Affiliate Marketing is everywhere?

In every business, from Blogging, Freelancing, Business, it also works for Entrepreneurs.

Also,

Affiliate Marketing is not a new buzz. It existed before the online world in the form of human words.

Affiliate Marketing was first introduced by William J. Tobin in 1989. He also set up the first affiliate marketing program for his company PC Flowers & Gifts.

You can earn enough through Affiliate Marketing.

Like the below ones.

Create a Website, Use Affiliate products, Create Youtube Videos, Use Social Media like Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, and tons of others.

Some Cool Stats of Affiliate Marketing.

According to payscale.com, The average salary for an Affiliate Marketer is $51,465 whereas the average hourly pay for an Affiliate Marketer is $18.93. So if you are an average person like me, you can earn $51,465 from Affiliate Marketing.

2. According to Google Trends, Affiliate Marketing is one of the latest trends with a value of 96 out of 100.

Overwhelmed by reviewing the stats. In the surge of modern digital marketing, building a website, writing content, affiliate marketing also plays a role on the top.

So what is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is a step-by-step process of earning some commission by promoting specific products, deals, offers, services from a company to a specific audience. In simple words when you sell another company’s products, you get some commissions out of it.

The best part is you don’t have to create advanced products or services for users.

One of my friends earned more than 1000$ through Affiliate Marketing and told me the secret.

The next part is the conversation with him.

Making money online is something many people want but many of us can’t turn from teen to tycoon because of lack of strategy, wrong implementation, and selecting the incorrect platform to begin. After my blogging journey, I get to know that One of my friends earned more than 1000$ dollar this month, and I want to know the strategy from him. So I went directly to his place to know about his real success.

I want complete knowledge about it, and he was ready to open his book in front of me because he was one of my best friends and a silent entrepreneur.

Now it’s time to go straight to the point and follow the below guidance to become a real Affiliate Marketer.

Don’t just SignUp for Affiliates that you don’t know.

Beginner signup for affiliate products without knowing about, and ruin their affiliate business. Not knowing that Affiliate is not just a link to copy and paste, it is much more than that.

A review can be great after knowing it.

Suppose you are a Web Developer and recommending Amazon products like Fashion products is ridiculous. And believe me, it will never bring you earning like 1,000$ per month and even more than that.

You have to be well confident before recommending products mainly to your friends and followers.

Do you have a Website or Youtube Channel?

While I have one website before that and he told me it will be necessary for it. Read the Website Development process for a detailed walkthrough of this stage. The Youtube channel will also be a great fit for it.

Think for a while promoting a product without a proper platform is like living without a house. Yes, you can use WordPress to create a website easily and efficiently.

Promote Quality Products

Pasting a link in your post will not be great if it is not well suited for it. The best product is the ones that you use or know about them.

1. You know about products, their quality.

2. Your post will be genuine enough.

3. You don’t have to practice a lot since you know about that.

4. Your post will be in-depth.

I have heard about various affiliate programs like ClickBank, ShareASale. Due to a lack of knowledge, I haven’t tried them. And I advised everyone, not to try an affiliate program that you don’t know (also if it gives you better commission).

Which Affiliate Program do I choose now?

Numerous affiliate programs exist in the world, from Amazon Associates to ClickBank. Some pay a very little commission while some even more.

It depends on you what Professional do you belong to, and what makes you different. For example, if you are a Tech guy, you can promote Web Hosting and Domain Affiliates, Best Books for Technology related, and even similar.

Offer Some Extra and Free Content to Your Readers

The world today wants some extra in every aspect, and the way to achieve it is by providing others some extra.

No one wants to read a boring story and never write a boring story. An article with fun, in-depth information, surveys, facts, proof, and most importantly extra part(bonus) will lead to your goal.

Give 90% of your work for free and earn only 10% from your work.

I prefer not to say it, but it is a fact. People will trust you and always be willing to help you in the future.

Don’t Cheat on your followers

Yes, quality is crucial for your stories/posts. It can engage the reader to read more and even to buy and provide you a commission. But if there will be a vibe of greed, fakeness, falsity in your blog, it will be of no use.

For earning, recommending useless products will also be of no use. It will lead you to earn, a little bit of money but not after that.

Don’t ever fill your story full of affiliate links. It will not provide satisfaction to readers.

Concentrate on conversion rather than clicks.

He told me everything that he wants to guide me, and when I was leaving, he told me to Concentrate on conversion rather than clicks. He earned more than 1000$ in that month, and now It’s my time to go ahead.

Let’s Wrap Up

Up to here, you got the concept of Affiliate marketing and earning related to it. Successful Entrepreneur like Robert Kiyoaki even claims to be a Network Marketer in his book The Business of the 21st Century. It is a bit similar to Affiliate Marketer.

Now get ready to know more about Affiliate marketing and do your hands dirty. If an average person can earn $51,465, then you can also earn. Try something different, test it, if work executes it.
