I am proud to say that I am in Affiliate Marketing and having the time of my life! Mostly everything today is done online. And, that is how I market new trending products, brands and promotions. All from the comfort of my home. There are no more long commutes driving to work, or worries of a car accident, or wasted drive time. Now, I make my own hours, set my own schedule and so much more productive than I ever was working for someone else’s dream. This is my dream and what I love to do!
I Am a Affiliate Marketer! What is Niche?
If you are juggling work, dreams, and the weight of the world. I’ve been there—the sleepless nights, the doubts, the balancing act. But guess what? You’ve got this! Your online business isn’t just about money; it’s about reclaiming your time and freedom. Imagine ditching that hour-long commute, slipping into jeans when you please, and dancing confidently. Picture your kids’ smiles as you chase your dreams. Affiliate Marketing can be a way to make all your dreams come true.
I have tried a couple of different avenues when it comes to this industry. Many times I try the products myself to see if they are as good as advertised or seem to be. I give you my complete honesty and review of each of these products or services. Surprisingly, I don’t promote any product that either doesn’t work, or simply don’t like. I just won’t recommend (market) it. Truth! Affiliate Marketing is all about using products so you can give a honest review.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Let’s talk about it. Affiliate marketing is a way for businesses to team up with other folks like bloggers, YouTubers, or influencers. These affiliates help spread the word about the business’s products and services to make more sales or get more people interested. And guess what? The affiliate receives income for their services.
Why do businesses do this? Well, there are a few reasons:
First they want to sell more products.
They also want more people to visit their website.
Another reason is, they want more people to know about their brand.
They want to connect with the affiliate’s followers.
What’s great about affiliate marketing is that it’s not super expensive for businesses. They can offer affiliates things like:
A cut of the sales they help make.
Free stuff to try out.
Special rewards just for them.
Chances to meet others.
Access to helpful training.
Now, affiliate marketing isn’t brand new. But these days, it’s all about online stuff. Affiliates put links to a business’s products or services online, and when people buy through those links, the affiliates get a piece of the action. According to Statista, businesses spent around $8.2 billion on affiliate marketing in 2022. Did you know that?
For every business that has failed over the years, it is most likely due to the lack of Marketing their own products or promoting their business itself. Marketing is everything! Just because you think you have a great product, does not mean it will automatically sell. Every successful business needs to advertise or market their products.
Affiliate marketing examples
You likely have seen examples of affiliate marketing before, even if you didn’t realize it. The most effective affiliate marketing tends to be put together with quality content that readers enjoy and find useful. Although it can be tempting to promote various products to make sales and drive traffic for merchants, affiliates who built trust with their audience by recommending products they believe in are more likely to make more sales.
Some examples of affiliate marketing are:
- Websites covering general topics that occasionally include affiliate links in blog posts or articles, on varying topics and selling diverse products. A great example of this is this website Trendingup Community.
- Website videos that include affiliate links in the description, such as this one from my website entitled.
