Hi guys, Are you interested in earning money through affiliate marketing? If so, great! In this video, we're going to see how you can create an affiliate marketing website, which can earn money for you. This is Bryan from website learners Now, before we begin, First, let's see what is affiliate marketing. ‘Affiliate marketing‘ is where, there's a company, which sells products now, you come in And you promote these products, for this company, on the internet. and when someone purchases a product based on your recommendation, this company, pays you a commission for the sale. Okay, but how do you promote the product? Let’s say you want to promote this product which is available for purchase online.
The first thing you need to do is become an affiliate for the company . This is a simple process, like creating a new account on facebook. Now Once you do this , you will get a unique link called, an affiliate link, which you can use to promote the product. Now once you promote this link, and if someone buys from it, You will earn a commission from this company for every sale you make. Okay! So now you know how affiliate marketing works. But, once you get your affiliate link, Where exactly do you promote that link? If you share this link on social media platforms and ask people to buy this product. Not many people are going to buy! because they don’t have a reason to buy this product and they are not looking for it right now.
So You need to first find people who have a need for this product. And then you need to help them GET what they are
Looking for. So to understand this better, let’s look at a real-life example Now, let’s say you know very well about how to maintain your hair. And all the hair-care products needed to maintain hair. Now if you want to help people get what they are looking for 1st you need to find out, what people are searching for, related to ‘your-chosen-topic’ which is ‘hair care’. So now if we go to google, And search for ‘best shampoos you will find the ‘terms’ which people are searching, for related to ‘hair care’ Now once you find this, just choose ‘1 term’ and, I’m going to choose this. Now we’ve identified people that have a need for this product which is ‘Best Shampoos for Curly Hair’ Now to reach these people, you need to, create a valuable article, on this topic, on your website, which will help these users.
So let’s say you create this article. And you list down all the products that are good. Next you need to sign up for the affiliate program which has the products you recommend & then add those products here. And then add your affiliate links next to these products Once you write this content And google finds your content valuable to these searchers, it will show your site to visitors. And when those visitors go through your affiliate link And purchase the products. you will make a commission. So this is how affiliate marketing works. And in this video, we’re going to see how you can build a successful affiliate marketing site, which can make money. So let’s get started. We’re going to create our affiliate website in 5 parts The first part is to Pick a topic for your website .
Choosing your topic, is very important to be successful in affiliate marketing. This is because, if you want people to follow your recommendations, and buy the products that you recommend You need to talk about 1particular topic or area. it can be anything, but it needs to be around 1 specific area. This is important, as it will help you to be seen as the expert or a knowledgeable person on that topic. And people want to follow an expert, rather than someone who talks about everything. So Choose a topic which you are most knowledgeable, or which you can easily talk about. to make it easier for you to choose a topic for your website we’ve made a list of popular topics for you.
