I used to own an Amazon FBA business for 6 years. I did really well with my own ad campaigns. I am going to start a business being an affiliate marketer for other businesses. Ideally, I would like to get on Amazon’s Affiliate program, but I hear it is quite difficult to get in. I am very interested to hear any advice from other people who have experience with affiliate marketing. Thank you all for your time.
You don’t need Amazon for affiliate marketing. There are literally hundreds of thousands of businesses that have affiliate programs. With affiliate marketing, you have to be passionate about what the product or service it is that you’re promoting. Then you can use blogs or landing pages, and since it looks like you’ve already done well with your own ad campaigns, that’s the real expense in the business.
Clickbank is one of the oldest platforms that features affiliate programs including commissions, click thru rates etc…. Or you can see if some of your favorite companies have affiliate programs. Just visit their sites. You would be surprised how many actually do.
I do know that if you’re going to use google ad words you have to use a landing page.
Another way is to pick a topic that you’re very knowledgeable about and write a short how to book on it. Fill the book up with content, but also include affiliate links to things that are related to that topic, and give the book away for free.
Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I really enjoyed creating ad campaigns for my business, more than any other aspect of it. I’ll take a look at Clickbank and explore the idea of creating a free book.
