Hello and thank you for returning back to my website for my latest blog post. I will start by saying Happy #FundMeFriday and I am going to begin by asking you a question. Have you paid yourself today? If your answer is yes, great, good for you and be excited that regardless of the amount you stashed away today in your savings account, you made progress toward financial freedom. If however you answered with a no, please take any amount and make a deposit into your savings. I do not care if you deposit $5 because It is so imperative that you get into this habit of paying yourself first before spending money on anything if you ever hope to make your dreams of financial freedom into your reality. So if you answered with a no, stop what you are doing and make that deposit. If the bank is closed, sit down for five minutes and write yourself a check then deposit it into your savings using your mobile deposit app that just about every bank has. Whatever you have to do, just get it done.
I have been asked to pick a topic and write about a way that people can start making money immediately. I thought about this for a hot minute and the topic I have chosen is affiliate marketing. I am choosing this topic for three reasons. First of all, you can become an affiliate marketer in about five minutes, give or take a few minutes depending on how quickly you type. The second reason I am choosing affiliate marketing is because of the ease of linking your codes in front of an endless audience. Finally the third reason I have chosen to spotlight affiliate marketing is because it helps you build a knowledge base for your use in building and growing your own business.
Becoming an affiliate marketer is extremely easy regardless of whether or not you have a website. Using an affiliate marketing approach to earning money simply means that by filling out a one time “application” you basically become a partner with brands and businesses that literally reach around the world. Once you sign up with a company like Amazon for example, you get your own dashboard on their site and literally whatever product is on their website you can promote with a special link they issue to you. Once you pick a product, you get your link and post it on your social media pages, on your own website and you can even send the links to your friends you think may be interested in the product and then once someone clicks your link and purchases the product, you get paid. Yes it is pretty much that simple.
In general, you want to choose products that align with your business and with your ideals. The point is to enhance your brand and if you align yourself with like minded companies, it strengthens who you are. For example, if your business is baking, you want to choose from the endless amount of products that are related to baking like muffin tins, spatulas and maybe cookie sheets. You do not want to start posting links for plumbing supplies because there is a sale on them and you feel they will sell quickly. When you start doing things like that, people will not take you serious and may even lose trust in you. So when picking items to promote, stick to your niche.
Finally, when you become an affiliate marketer and you stick to your niche, you end up doing lots of research for the perfect products that you want to align yourself with and by doing this research you begin to broaden your knowledge and you may even be able to develop your own product one day.
