This article is going to educate you about affiliate marketing. If you are a YouTuber or a Blogger or have any type of such online business then you need to grow your business by affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing has increased people's passive income to a great level. Many platforms let you earn 3% to 50% of their commission but you need to make sure that you follow the right strategies and promote their business.

If you wonder that why would anyone pay me that much by promoting their business? Then let me tell you, Amazon has earned so much fame and is extensively used because of its well-working affiliate program. Surprisingly, you don't even need to make any investment to become an affiliate marketer!

WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?

When an online retailer pays a commission to an external website to build up the traffic or generate sales from its referrals through a marketing arrangement is called affiliate marketing.

You can not get rich quickly through affiliate marketing. It takes patience and time to gain and grow your audience. To see which channel connects best with your audience you would have to test many different channels

MAIN TYPES OF AFFILIATE MARKETING:

There are three main types of affiliate marketing; unattached, related, and involved affiliate marketing.

Unattached affiliate marketing

The best example of unattached affiliate marketing is a pay-per-click ad on Facebook Ads or Google Ads. Unattached affiliate marketing is considered a low-effort strategy to earn a passive income. Because you don't need a community or following since the affiliate has no connection, expertise, or authority in the product so there is no expectation or pressure to make an informed recommendation.

Related affiliate marketing

When the affiliate has some sort of relation between them and the service they are promoting, an affiliate would have to go through an experience related to the product or service in the niche. Related affiliate marketing has two benefits, the product provider is going to see a higher conversation rate because of the person who is promoting it, and the affiliate will also see better success as the audience is more likely to accept the product because of someone they trust and respect.

Involved affiliate marketing

When the affiliate has experience using the product or service and thus is comfortable with recommending it to their audience. This type of affiliate marketing also involves a risk factor, if the audience is not satisfied after making a purchase based on an affiliate recommendation then this can damage the reputation of an affiliate.

This also includes quite transparency since it involves an honest advertising model which is great for the people buying it and the brand as well.

Common channels are used to employ the above types of affiliate marketing:

Influencer Marketing

Blogging

Email Marketing

Paid Search Microsites

Affiliate Website Marketing

Coupon Sites

HOW MUCH MONEY DO AFFILIATE MARKETERS MAKE?

To be an affiliate marketer, you need skilled practice, and learning the skill can be slow and hard. So, one should be prepared to spend a lot of time at the start of your affiliate career rather than spending a lot of money.

The average salary of an affiliate marketer is $59,060 per year according to Glassdoor. Though it ranges from $58k to $158k, including commissions, cash bonuses, tips, or profit sharing.

Usually, there is no investment required when starting affiliate marketing. But it might take a long time to see the results without spending money initially.

In recent years, affiliate marketing has become an important part of the digital marketing landscape.

I am soon coming up with an article where I will educate you about a platform that helps you earn $50 per click on your affiliate link.
