Affiliate Marketing is one of the most popular and most profitable ways to make money online. With that being said, many who try to make any significant amount of money from affiliate marketing fails to do so. Lucky for you that you do not have to be one of the failures. You can be one of the successful affiliate marketers that make money on the regular as an affiliate marketer.
In this post I am going to share with you the 3 P’s that I feel you need to be successful as an affiliate marketer. The 3 P’s are Product, Platform and Persistence.
Product – Best believe that they’re are no shortage of products/services to become an affiliate of. When just getting started I suggest promoting products in a niche that you have a real interest and or knowledge in. This will make promoting the product a lot easier and even enjoyable to do. Also, make sure to do some research on what it is you are promoting. Make sure that it is a quality product that you will feel good about promoting and that you believe in.
Platform – This is simple but can be very important. I highly recommend picking 1 main platform the you promote your offer. Pick the one that you feel most comfortable using and that you have experience with. Experiment with some marketing strategies on that platform. Really work the platform and start generating some sales before you expand to another platform to promote on. Some of the most popular online platforms as of writing this post are YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Start with one of these and you should be good!
Persistence – One of the main reasons so many people fail when it comes to affiliate marketing is they quit to soon. Yes, it is possible to make money from affiliate marketing on the very first day you start it. But you should know that it can take longer than that to start seeing those commission roll in. The key is to stick with it and be persistent. It might take a few days, a few weeks r even a few months to get that first commission but it will happen if you just stick with it. It might take a couple strategy tweaks and maybe a couple product switches but success will come if you hang in there.
There are several factors that go into being a successful affiliate marketer but these 3 P’s, I feel is the foundation for real success in this game. Just know, there are 1000’s of people making money with affiliate marketing and there is no reason why you can’t be one of them!
