DESCRIPTION
Affiliate marketing is a relatively easier way to make money online. But it is not as easy as you might think of! You have to do some leg work before you can succeed with affiliate marketing. Find out what's involved!TRANSCRIPT
So you have a website and want to make money off it
There are numerous
ways to make money online
If you have an online business, selling products
is a powerful way to make money!
But you have to create your own products
for that
Ah! The pain
of product creation!
What if you a don’t like to go
through the trouble of creating a product
yourself?
You can STILL make money by selling others’ products
The name is: Affiliate Marketing
Recommend others’ products to your readers,
and make commissions for every sale
Sounds cool, isn’t?
You don’t have to create a product!
You don’t have to deal with offering
support
You don’t have to work on
marketing that product.
Sounds easy isn’t?
Well, let’s not jump into
conclusions.
It is not THAT easy - I am NOT discouraging
you.
But don’t take affiliate marketing
lightly.
People will not simply buy all of your
recommendations.
You have to put forth some leg work before you can make money
off affiliate marketing
Let me tell you!
Here’s the thing - The key to succeed
in affiliate marketing is
to build trust
And now let’s dive in to find out how we can
build trust!
#1 Do not promote a product that you have not tried yourself
You won’t be able to clearly point out the
positives and negatives of a product
if you haven’t tried it out yourself.
There are exceptions - you may not be able to
afford to buy every laptop and camera you
review
#2 Research about the product
Do a search with “product name + negative keywords ” –
and negative keywords are usually stuff l ike “sucks”,
“scam”, “waste” and words l ike that depending upon
which product you are choosing.
Don’t jump into conclusion by reading
one or two reviews
A product cannot please everyone – there always will be haters even for a
decent product
But if you are only seeing bad reviews, its time to
think!
#3 Make sure the product delivers what it
promises.
Don’t believe the words on the sales page (usually pretty hypey)!
Since it is YOUR recommendation, it is YOUR responsibility to check thoroughly
#4 Make sure the product has a good
standing in the market
Let’s assume all is well.

But then things change after a while!
The product stops receiving
any updates.

any updates.
Or the product
owner disappears from
the market.
Specifically research for the “good standing” of the product and/or the product owner in the
market.

• … and this kind of research
#5 Make sure the product gets good support from the developers
You recommended the product to help your
readers.
Without good support your readers will be left confused and annoyed.
I don’t know about you; but I value product support very much!
#6 Don’t write an “all-positive-
buy-it-now” kind of review
I am 200% sure that no product is perfect!
Why? Because “perfect” is a word that is person-
dependent.
Something that is “perfect” to me would be crappy to you! And
vice versa.
Why? Because we all have different preferences.
Just write a genuine review
#7 Update your review often
Reviews need to be updated regularly, don’t
you agree?
Things change! So do products and their
updates.
Un-updated reviews can be misleading!
