A beginner’s guide to
Affiliate
Marketing
BY MICHELLE MALLILLIN
@michelle.hustles
I am a first-time mom and a passionate Physical Therapist. A year ago,
we welcomed our little bundle of joy into the world. However, despite
our efforts to be prepared, life had its unexpected twists.
As I navigated through motherhood without the guidance of my own
mom and with limited external help, my partner had to leave his job to
assist me with our baby. For months, we relied on little savings and my
maternity leave pay. But when that ended, I had to return to work
feeling drained and heartbroken, realizing this wasn’t the life I had
envisioned for our family.
I want more quality time with my little one, more freedom in my
schedule, and a secure future for my family, so I began searching for a
change. That’s when I stumbled upon a unique opportunity on social
media: people earning passive income online while working just a few
hours a day.
I was hesitant at first as I come from a different career background.
Could I really succeed in this online business world? I then, discovered
the 15 Day Online Business Builder challenge, which taught me
everything I needed to know about starting an online business as an
Affiliate Marketer.
I’m a complete beginner with no specialized skills, but I took the leap
because I believe it bears great potential. Now, I’m striving to make a
difference in my family’s life and, hopefully, in yours too.
Take a chance. Embrace the risk, take control of your future, and build
the life you’ve always dreamt of.
Join me on this empowering journey to create a profitable online
business through Affiliate Marketing. Together, let's seize the
opportunity to create a brighter tomorrow.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
It is a type of marketing strategy that allows affiliates (YOU) to
earn money online by promoting products or services to your
audience. Simply put, when someone makes a purchase through
your unique affiliate link, you earn a commission.
Think of it as becoming a brand ambassador for the products you
love and getting rewarded for every sale or traffic your referral
generates.
What are the benefits?
No experience is required - a good
way to start for beginners
Flexible schedule - allowing you to
work from home, set your hours and
balance family life with ease.
Share your passion - you can
choose products that resonate with
your values and interests, making
the process more enjoyable.
Extra income - earn money doing
what you love while supporting
your family’s needs.
Low start-up cost - I started mine
with a $7 course!
Steps on How To Get Started
1. Pick your niche - A niche is a specific topic, interest or
area you will focus on while promoting products. Selecting
your niche is the foundation of your success.
Target Audience - A group of people who will be
interested in your niche. To effectively promote products,
you have to understand your audience - research their
needs, preferences, and pain points to tailor your content
and recommendations to resonate with them.
Most profitbable niches:
Health/Wellness
Wealth
Relationship
2. Find an Affiliate Program - Simply search in Google
your selected niche and affiliate programs. Look for
programs that align with your interests and that may
genuinely benefit your audience. Aim for trustworthy
brands with products you trust.
TIP: Choose products that you have personally used or are
confident in recommending. Authenticity is key in affiliate
marketing, and your audience will appreciate genuine
recommendations.
3. Become an Affiliate - Most companies do not require
high following and is completely free to apply.
Take the following into consideration before applying:
The program offers low and high ticket items
They offer no less than 30% commissions
They have a cookie length for at least 30 days
4.Generate Traffic Through your Link - This is where the
fun begins! Now that you’ve identified your niche and
applied to programs. The next step is creating content
and connecting with your audience. Utilize social media
platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest,
TikTok, YouTube, or Email.
Once traffic begins, it continues and turns into revenue.
NOTE: Traffic does not mean
followers. You do not need to have
a lot of followers to promote
products.
5. Create Your Own Business (OPTIONAL) - If you are
interested in making this simple side hustle into a
business opportunity, then I strongly recommend taking
the 15 Day Course that taught me everything I needed
to start.
To launch your business, follow these steps:
1. Get a Domain Name
2. Create a Sales Funnel
3. Set Up an Email Auto Responder
Freelance Digital/Affiliate Marketing Industry is
expected to grow at $27 Billion by 2027.
