It can take few weeks, or even few months. but, if you’re on it – and keep improving your efforts – it will happen. Trust me on this one. If you’re just thinking about how to start your affiliate marketing venture – These are 3 recommended affiliate marketing programs for begginers.

Do you have a website or blog to promote your affiliate marketing products?

It’s true that the secret to making money with affiliate marketing is to be mentally strong and keep on going until it works. in addition to that, there are few additional things that are important. For example, do you have a blog or any other digital asset to promote your affiliate marketing products? In this post, I discussed wether it’s a must or not to have a website when trying to earn money via affiliate marketing.

Do you plan on earning side money with affiliate marketing or you want it to be your full time job?

This is a very important issue. Why? because if you plan on earning your income entirely from affiliate marketing with no other job it requires a whole different approach to it. If you plan on going all in with your affiliate marketing venture – I highly suggest you take professional digital marketing courses. You can also get a lot of free affiliate marketing tutorials on youtube, like this one. But.. if you want to be the best and serious in it – go for paid courses. If you only want a side income and want to take it slow – start slow with joining big affiliate networks like this one, which I started with, because you can get a wide range of programs you can start from, and it’s good to have a variety to choose the one who suits you the best.

“Should I create a blog or focus on PPC ads? SEO?

Well, that’s the main question. A lot of young affiliate marketers are wondering about the question: “should I start a blog or do PPC?” the answer, to my opinion is definitely do both! why? because it’s always better to keep your options open. If you only blog – it’s a bit limited. If you only do PPC and don’t have digital assets of your own – it’s not a good strategy for long. If you’re not sure if to start your blog with Wix or Worpress – read this review of mine.

If I need to choose between the 2 – I will always recommend starting a blog, rather than doing only PPC. Why? because in your own blog that you create, you have control on the results. It’s your media and your prices. If you write well and get high volume traffic, you can earn a very nice amount of money. If we compare this to PPC campaigns on google and facebook, instagram and etc, it’s better for you. But again, I suggest you do both, if possible.

“what will I write about in my blog”?

Well, it can be very focused to the niche products you’re trying to promote. It can also be a “general blog” that relates to different topics which you write about, and put affiliate links which relates to the content. There is no one right method to blog or a “good theme or subject”. I suggest you read the post I wrote on “what to blog about and how to start blogging?

Write about stuff you’re passionate about in your blog or any other digital asset

The only thing you need is to write about something you’re passionate about. Some really like computers (like anand chimpi – which started this amazing blog about computers and became huge). Others can love parenting and review motherhood or parenting products.. others can write about fashion, and promote fashion affiliate marketing products and etc.
