What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a marketing process where you don’t own any personal products. But using your marketing skills to sell the products of big digital-based companies by placing links on your blog websites and also advertising on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram is called affiliate marketing. People do affiliate marketing with different companies, among them, Amazon affiliate marketing is one of them.
How to do affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is very easy to do compared to other digital marketing. And nowadays, affiliate marketing has become very popular to earn money online. Affiliate marketing does not require many technical skills. You just need to have some marketing skills. Whatever, how do you start your affiliate marketing journey? Suppose you have a blog website where you write various articles about books. Now when writing a blog, your job will be to put an affiliate link of a book somewhere in your article. The most important thing is that before this, you must go to the affiliate program of various popular companies like Amazon, Alibaba, Flipkart, eBay, and open an affiliate account. When you open an account on their platform, they will give you a specific link. You will basically put that link inside your article. And when the visitor of your website buys the book on the affiliate link, the company will give you a certain amount of commission according to the price of the book. And this way, you can earn money by doing affiliate marketing through a blog website.
You can also promote the products and services of popular companies through ads on your social media account. If someone buys your promoted products or services, you will get a good amount of commission from there.
Or if you notice that when different YouTubers are affiliates, they add links to different companies’ products in the description box of their videos. Through this, if someone wants to buy the product, or if a visitor buys the product by clicking on the link, then they get the commission according to the product.
Which platform is best for affiliate marketing?
Currently, Amazon has occupied the number one position among online businesses. I think Amazon affiliate marketing is the best for affiliates. Amazon gives a good amount of commission compared to other companies. And it is relatively easy to do. Choose the one you like from Amazon. Write an article on your website by reviewing the products. And add the link inside the article. If a person comes to your website and reads the review and is interested in buying the product, then he will click on that link. If he clicks on the link and buys the product, then you will get a 9% commission from Amazon according to the product. But it is good to know if the visitor clicks on that link. If you do not purchase the product from Amazon within 30 days, you will not get the commission.
