Chances are that you've about affiliate marketing and you want to know how you can use it to
make more money.
Well, you came to the right place.
What's up, go-getter?
It's Angie with Fab and Focused, and on my channel I talk about successful side hustle
advice to help you turn it into your main hustle.
Be sure to subscribe to my channel and hit that bell so that way you can get notified
when I post a new video every week.
Let's start off with what is affiliate marketing actually is.
Affiliate marketing is when a company pays you to promote their products through a commission.
Basically you promote the product, someone buys the product through you, and then you
get a percentage of the total sales for your work.
And there's a lot of affiliate programs out there, but they usually work the same way.
Now, I've made a couple thousand dollars myself with affiliate marketing, so I am so excited
to share this with you guys.
Let's talk about getting started.
Before you do anything else, you need to figure out your personal brand.
If you already have a social media presence then this is not going to be hard to figure
out.
What are most of your posts about?
And what subjects get the most people talking on your page?
Once you've figured out what kinds of things people associate with you personally, then
you want to look for products and services that match your image.
And if you don't have a social media presence, then that's fine.
Just think about things that you like, or know a lot about.
Once you've identified a few things that you feel really comfortable and confident talking
about, then you can look for brands that match your interests.
And actually I accidentally did this and I made $4,000 the first time with affiliate
marketing.
I made a video about it of course.
I'll add that link somewhere here and in the description below.
Go ahead and check it out if you want.
The good news is that most brands have some kind of affiliate program.
There's literally thousands to choose from.
And you can find the right one just by simply Googling it.
If you're into cosmetics, then just type cosmetic affiliate program.
If you're into health, the health affiliate program.
You get the idea, right?
Just a little side note, sometimes you're going to have to go through a whole application
process before you can get approved to promote that product or service.
Brands are very selective on who they want promoting their products, at least some.
All right, now I want to hear from you guys.
Comment below and tell me if you can think of a product or service that you're really
interesting in trying to promote.
With that in mind, let's talk about making money.
Once you're all signed up and approved the company is going to send you an affiliate
link.
And this affiliate link is basically your golden ticket because any purchases made with
that link is going to make you money.
Now with that said, commissions do vary from program to program.
So it could literally be 1% to 75% or more that you could be making off commission for
a particular product you're promoting.
Now, where you post that link is entirely up to you.
But I wanted to give you a few options.
The first are Facebook posts.
They are a great way for you to experiment with the wording to see what works and what
doesn't work.
Another one is Instagram.
It's great, but the thing is that you can't really link it to the caption or the comment,
you have to put it in the bio section.
So when people actually click on it, it'll take them to that product or service.
Another one is through your YouTube channel.
You can and you should include it your description of your video.
And if you like writing and have a blog that you can actually post it there as well.
As far as the affiliate link itself, the one that the company usually gives you is pretty
long and it looks pretty spammy, so what I like to do is use a tool called Bitly to shorten
it up.
What you basically do is you copy the long link and then you paste it on there, and what
it'll do, it'll generate a shorter one.
That's the one that I use to post on my Instagram bio section or my Facebook post.
I encourage you guys to do the same.
I'll add that link for you below, if you want to go check that out.
All right, now let's get into the pros and cons of affiliate marketing.
Like any other job, affiliate marketing does have its share of pros and cons that you should
consider.
The first pro is that it's passive income, which means that as long as your link is active
and up then you're going to make money.
And if you get really good at it, then you can make this your main source of income.
Another pro is that there's really no startup costs, which means that you don't really need
to have a website, a business, to start doing affiliate marketing.
The third pro, and it's probably my favorite, is that you don't need to create a product
or store it anywhere in your house or anything like that.
The fourth is that you can use social media, and that's free to use.
So literally there's no excuses to not do this.
And last but not least is that you get to talk about products and services that you
like, which is always fun.
With that said, the biggest con is that if you don't have an online presence, or it's
very low, it is going to take you some time to generate some money.
Now there is a way of promoting products and services, but just keep in mind that nobody
wants someone who is constantly and aggressively just telling them to buy, buy, buy.
So instead, start off by explaining the benefits, the features, your experience with the product,
things like that so it comes off more of like a conversation.
Just don't ever come across really sales-y.
Because if you do, people are not going to buy it.
Now, I did want to mention a few disclaimers.
The first is that you're obligated by the FTC to tell people that you're going to be
making commission off that product or service that you're promoting.
The thing is that you don't you deceiving people.
If you have a blog, you can just put a little disclaimer on there.
If you have a YouTube channel or you're making a video on that product and you can state
it at the end.
And also put it in the description below.
What I've found is that when you're honest and upfront and transparent with people, then
they're going to want to buy even more, whatever it is that you're promoting.
But anyway, I encourage you to go to the FTC site and review all of that before you start
promoting.
I'll add that link for you below, just to make it a little easier.
Now, the second thing that I do want to warn you is that reputation is everything.
With that said, always be selective of the products or services that you promote.
If you promote a very cheap and bad product just to get money, then you're eventually
going to ruin your reputation, and then no one is going to want to buy from you.
And that's a wrap.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below and I will be more than happy
to help you.

Here it goes again.
This little piece of hair.
Damn it.

We're going to be talking about blah, blah, blah.
