HOW TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE MARKETER FOR FREE

---

It’s actually very easy to become an affiliate marketer for free since you shouldn’t apply to any affiliate programs that require a payment.

To become an affiliate marketer for free, you just need the following steps:

1. Sign up with an affiliate program or network.
2. Grab your affiliate link(s).
3. Promote them on a platform.
4. Earn commissions.

In this very simple way, all you have to do is sign up to an affiliate network like Clickbank or affiliate program from companies like Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, or Target.

Then, copy the affiliate links that are offered to you for the products you want to promote.

Find a social media platform where you can paste your links on.

When someone clicks on your affiliate links and buys something, you’ll make a commission!

In this way, you don’t need a website, you don’t need to buy anything, you literally can be an affiliate marketer this way for free.

However, is that the best way?

 

 

It is definitely possible to be a successful affiliate marketer this way if you have a large following on a social media channel like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube.

You will need a large following on social media to make this work because you need to able to build trust.

If you don’t build trust between you and your audience, then why would they click on your link or worse, why buy from your link?

Web surfers these days are more sophisticated and will not click on any links for the sake of it, they are more cautious and you need to establish that you’re genuine and trustworthy.

So building one of these social media accounts is a way to become affiliate marketer for free but it’s not a faster way by any means.

 

Why This Path Won’t Work Well

Most affiliate programs, including one of the biggest ones like Amazon’s Associate Program, require you to have a website in order to apply.

Without a website, you’ll be limited to the affiliate programs you can join and you won’t be able to get search traffic from search engines which is really the best traffic to get out there.

You won’t have an online presence the way a website can offer if you’re going to the free route, and thus your income potential will not be as high this way as a result.

 

 

BEST PATH TO TAKE TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL AFFILIATE MARKETER

---

The best path to take if you want to become an actual successful affiliate marketer is to build your own affiliate website.

It is more involved than just grabbing a link and pasting it somewhere but you’ll be building something that will earn you money far into the future as a website will have that kind of earning power.

The cost of building an affiliate is actually not that much, there are two things you’ll need:

1. A domain name – approx. $15/year
2. Web hosting – $2.75/month

I host my website, Work Anywhere Now, at HostGator and that rate is for their Hatchling Plan, I’ve actually been on their Baby Plan for 9 years (not for jus this website as this website only started in 2016) but recently upgraded to their Cloud hosting.

As I mentioned in my HostGator review here, you won’t need the Cloud hosting at the beginning of your journey, just not needed yet but as your site grows, you may want this plan in the future.

I also buy all my domains at GoDaddy, so check them out here.

So, if you just pay a little money like that, then you could get yourself a blog website which will give you more credibility and you’ll be able to create a lot of value on your blog to attract visitors.

The real game to this affiliate marketing business is building trust with your audience and there’s no better way to do that than to use a blog website so you can provide tons of value for your audience to help them with solving the aches and pains of your niche.

If you can provide value to your readers, you will create trust this way, and if you blog right, you’ll be able to attract the golden traffic from search engines to get massive visitors to your site.

Once you have traffic, you’ll be able to really earn like I have:

 

The above graph is my 2 year results from when I started in Sep/16 to Aug/18.  Even with a website, it will take some time before you make some real money.

The blue line indicates my monthly income and the red line shows my work effort.  How blogging works is that your must do the work first (producing content), then comes traffic, then comes the money.

Because I’m in a very competitive niche, it took me a whole 12 months to start making 3 figures and then 1.5 years to break 4 figures.

With less competitive niches, I have seen my affiliate marketing friends break 4 figures much earlier than me and I get a bit jealous because it seems I’m doing so much more work!! LOL But, I really do love the niche I’m in so, so be it.

I mean, just look at Zarina below, she broke 4 digits in like 12 months:

 

 

Even faster is my friend Dylan here who was able to earn $2K+ at 6 month mark:

 

Dylan uses a particular strategy for his niche websites and it has worked for many folks, he created a training for it too which you can see here:

 

I belong to an affiliate marketing community (more info below) where I get to learn all this stuff at and basically where I started my affiliate marketing career.

Not only I get to meet so many new friends who are doing the same thing, but I get to learn everyday on there from their comprehensive training and weekly live webinars which leads me to the next section below.
