There are 3 major characters you need to know of:

• Merchant - these are the people or companies which sells their products

• Affiliate - this is going to be you, the one who markets the products

• Consumer - the end-user/buyer 

Here is the basics of how affiliate marketing works: 

Merchant makes the product -> affiliate advertises it -> consumer buys

Merchant then pays you(affiliate) a commission rate. 

Keep this in mind because this is basically the whole process of affiliate marketing. As an affiliate, you will be more concerned on how to reach the consumers and advertise your merchant’s products.

Let’s move on to the next simple step:

A niche can be any specific category. Here are some good examples of niches:

• Food (restaurants, diet, reviews)

• Health (fitness, skincare, stress management) 

• Technology (tech reviews, cryptocurrency)

• Marketing (SEO tutorials, social media management, Instagram postings)

• Finance (educate your audience how to be financially independent)

• Travel (tips on finding a good hotel, tourist spot reviews)

• Relationship advice

Choose a niche that you are familiar with. Successful affiliate marketers are usually those who are knowledgeable of their particular category. This does not mean, however, that you need to be an expert on your niche. 

This is where your consumers will find you and the products you are advertising. It can be a blog, a youtube channel, a podcast or even your own Instagram/Facebook accounts. Make your content clickable and interesting. It’s all up to you how you would like to customize your website.

The content of your blog or youtube channel is crucial to building an audience. Write compelling articles about your particular niche. It is much better to plan this first and publish at least 25 articles before signing up for an affiliate program. Your content will contain the product links for commission. 

Reach your audience in the most efficient way by building a powerful email list. Engage with your audience and get them in touch with your advertisements. Email marketing starts with a great provider. It will help maintain your subscriber's trust and increase site visibility.

You can search for an affiliate program in your niche through Google. Top examples this 2021 are Amazon, eBay, and Clickbank. Choose the program with the following:

• High commission rates

• A wide range of products in your niche

• A user-friendly platform

Register on your chosen program and fill out the necessary details for confirmation. Follow the step-by-step process provided by your desired affiliate marketing program. After you are admitted, you will be given the product links to start advertising.

Now that you have your website and a good affiliate marketing program, it’s time to grind to build an audience. Consumers of your merchants need to find you and click your affiliate links to earn commission. 

There are a lot of ways to generate traffic on your site. Post on your social media accounts, do some guest posts, find the good keywords, create valuable content, and many more! Continue researching about your particular niche and strategize for your audience.

There are two traits you need to learn along the way: Perseverance and patience. Once you start attracting an audience to your site, the rest will be easy. With the right products, a single sale made from a hundred clicks will get you your first hundred dollars! A lucrative passive income indeed.
