When I first got introduced to John’s method, I was like:

“Man, this can’t possibly work just like that”

Granted, the actual business model has been around for a while…

But, the way he’s doing it is unlike anything I’ve seen before...

He calls it “Profit Cycles”...

And - in short - it allows you to find the most successful deals online… Test them for FREE… And then use other people’s money to scale it to $5,000 - $10,000 a month.

The craziest thing is…

He doesn’t just teach or show this stuff; he literally lets his students replicate the entire business, click by click.

No wonder people who attend his events regularly make their first $100, $500, or even $1000+ paychecks fast.

5 steps that you need to take on your way of affiliate marketing:

Choose Your Product/Affiliate Program

The first step is to choose what product you want to sell. The best practice here is to promote products that you personally use and love.

Promote something that is easy to sell and got a huge demand.

Promote products that got a high commission. Over 20%

2. Choose a platform. The most popular are:

Youtube

Pinterest

Instagram

Blog

3. Choose your audience

Ask yourself:

-What do they spend a lot of time thinking about?

-What do they do?

-What are they most interested in?

-Where do they hang out online?

In fact, finding your target market is half the battle of building a successful affiliate marketing business.

4. Build a sales funnel

Today it’s not enough to have a website on the other hand sales funnel can capture people’s attention and encourage them to take a particular action in your sale process. One of the most effective funnels for affiliate marketing is the squeeze funnel where you capture someone’s email address by providing them with some kind of free stuff (online course, challenge, workshop, cheatsheet…) for example you can take the 5-day lead challenge by Clickfunnels that is free, all you do is type in your email address.

5. Drive Traffic

Long-term:

SEO is one of the best ways to drive long-term traffic to your website. I say “long-term” because, while SEO is crazy effective, it also takes quite a bit of time to build authority and rankings on a new site. I also say “long-term” because once you have some solid rankings, those keywords will drive consistent traffic to your website for a long time into the future. In other words, it’s hard to build your SEO… but it’s also hard to lose your SEO.

Collaborate With Influencers

You can collaborate with influencers. There’s some way to do it…

first, you can reach out to an influencer and pay him/her for sharing your product with their audience

another way is ‘Mention-For-a-Mention’ offer to mention them to your own email list if they’ll mention your business to their email list

Or you can suggest them a commission they bring a sale

Engage in conversation on different platforms, such as Quora, Facebook groups, forums…

Affiliate marketing is a lucrative field that many people are venturing into. However, there are a couple of mistakes that we should avoid. They include the following but are not limited to:-

Choosing Products with High Earnings.

Many affiliate marketers especially newbies tend to pick products with high earnings per sale thinking that they will be rich the next day after promoting. The best thing to look out for is a product that has a higher EPC and good Gravity.

Picking Products irrelevant to your Niche.

It is important that you pick products that a related and relevant to your niche and audience in general.

For Instance, promoting accounting services to SEO savvies can be considered incompetent.

Spamming Platforms with Affiliate links.

I always advocate for any affiliate marketer to have a blog where they can provide links to the affiliate products and promote the article URL as a landing page.

Focus on the product and not the value.

Ever read an article that is full of affiliate links? as a good practice, it is better to give real value in an article and promote a product explain to your readers how the product will help them and the great value associated with it.

Being Impatience.

Avoid the narrative of getting rich tomorrow and you only invested today. Despite being a good lucrative field, affiliate marketing can be challenging and a lot of patience is required. Work hard for a few months, build trust with your audience and you will start enjoying great benefits in any relevant product you promote to your audiences.

Don't forget to maintain the trust you have built with your audience.

Ignoring the SEO basics.

Lastly, for today, SEO will keep you propelled in a good direction. Make sure you perform basic SEO Checks to rank your website in the top 10 positions in SERPs.
