MARKETING!
What is it?
Affiliate marketing is working with established companies to advertise their products. When someone buys a product through a method that you have provided, you get paid a commission!
Ever see those "Top 20 gift ideas for Dad!" posts? When you click on an item, it typically goes to an Amazon page, or some other store page. If you buy it, the creator of the article or post will likely get a small reward or commission for that purchase. This is an example of affiliate marketing.
Many businesses leave a lot of money on the table by not taking advantage of affiliate partnerships that their customers would appreciate and benefit from.
Why is it so great?
Low start up costs! - Can sign up for many affiliate programs for free and use social media and blogs to advertise.
No Inventory! Since you are not actually fulfilling any orders, you do not need to carry or purchase any inventory. No storing loads of products!
Advertise established products! No need to create a new product, you can just advertise already popular products! Many have amazing commission payouts.
Get paid for what you know! If you have knowledge in a certain realm, you can use that to connect people with problems to the right solutions.
Challenges
Many people approach affiliate marketing all wrong and come off spammy. You've probably seen bot accounts on Instagram or in the comments sections of posts spamming their affiliate links.
A lot of affiliate marketers actually LOSE money because they spend more money on ads than they earn from their efforts. It is not sustainable to constantly lose money running unprofitable ad campaigns, so many quit.
Requires persistence, knowledge, adding value, and systems like any real business. While a person can make money with little energy and resource investment, the returns often reflect the effort and investment put forth.
