Affiliate Marketing Step By Step For Beginners 2021 - 3 minutes read
In today's video, I'm going to be walking you through how to start affiliate marketing for beginners and
this is going to go step by step. This video has three parts. The first part is going to talk about the general overview of what affiliate marketing is, then we'll quickly move into what kind of options you have for building your platform and getting traffic to it to make this affiliate marketing work, this will be with a website or even without a website, and then third, we'll move into what kind of affiliate offers you should be focusing on, there are both low ticket offers and there are high ticket offers and we're going to talk about both.
By the end of this video, you'll have everything you need to start affiliate marketing today. So, without further ado, let's jump into the computer and get into this. So, the first thing that we need to discuss and need to be on the same page about is affiliate marketing. If you have ever referred anyone to any business in the past, someone asks you 'hey, do you have a good air-conditioner guy?' 'hey, do you have a good person that cuts your hair?' Whatever it is and you refer them to your person, that is effectively affiliate marketing.
All it is, is referring people to things that you know and you like and you trust. So, when you look at the actual definition of how people explain affiliate marketing, it's essentially commission-based or performance-based marketing. A business rewards you for bringing them a customer. That's all it is.
So, you're not actually an employee, you're not on a payroll, you do not commit, you can work whenever you want to work, and you only get paid when you drive them a new customer or a new click, a new lead, whatever the affiliate offer is. Now, you don't need to have crazy marketing experience for this.
What I'm going to show you in this video, we'll go over how you can share basically your knowledge and your experience to lead other people down the same path that you went, to make the same decisions and find the product that's right for them. And by doing that and doing it this way, you will actually get the commission on them making their purchase or whatever they're buying.
So, now that we understand what affiliate marketing is, I want to show you two examples of affiliate marketing websites. One is really big, this is Expedia.com There are a ton of examples of this, but anytime you see mostly travel companies or cruise companies, anyone who's a search engine helps you find a deal or something like that, that is likely an affiliate marketing website.
So, for example, Expedia, gives you all the tools in a search engine, everything you need. This is what they put their money into building this tool here, You can go on here, and it gives you all the information to find the best option of available deals out there. Expedia does not have an airline, they do not have hotels.
They send you to a company that does, and then they get a commission for sending you to that company. So, this is a large-scale affiliate marketing website. And then, this is another one. This is a smaller scale, this is made by another YouTuber. I just think it's a perfect example to use, so, Odie I hope you don't mind me using this, but this is an example of his website, it's called RecordingNow.
