Q1 What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a process in which we promote other's products and when there is a purchase of the product via your promotion link, you earn a commission, but why do they give you a commission? The simple answer to this is, you act as a salesperson for them, for which they pay you when you generate sales.

* It's a kind of freelancing, when you generate sales then only you get paid otherwise no monthly money earnings.

*Some companies provide monthly payment but that too depends on the type of customer you provide.

Q2 How to Start Affiliate Marketing for Beginners?

**I would tell you the easiest and without investment methods here.

Starting an affiliate marketing earning setup is not much complicated, the first step is to choose any affiliate service.

To choose any Affiliate Program

There are many Affiliate Programs out there, some of them are-

Q3 From where to get sales?

This step is the main pillar of your whole affiliate marketing business.

So the question arises in some services you are required to share your website link or your URL so the solution to this is- Medium 

Medium is a site where you can publish your own blogs and articles and the main benefit of this website is, what we are using this site provides us our own URL for free and we can make use out of it in our own way.

Here we can publish our articles and embed our links in them on medium too.

Now what I personally prefer for advertising your links are-

1. 

 Quora is a Q/A site where poles apart people throughout the world ask different questions. 

Quora has a monthly visit of 550.40M which is effective traffic if used properly.

Now the question comes how to promote your link on Quora.

After setting up your profile you need to search for the question related to your affiliate company for example you choose GetResponse, so search for email marketing and related questions. 

After getting the questions related to email marketing filter the questions on the past day or past hour.

So that we can get those question which is not answered yet and we are the first one to answer them.

After searching for the perfect question you cannot directly spam your link here, this might ban your account.

 To avoid banning your account you can use these ways -

1. Do not spam your link in every answer, like answer 5 questions, and post your link in any 2 questions.

2. Create a landing page and use that link to redirect the audience. (this may cost you)

3. Create your own space and on Quora and post articles there and use your link there(do not use links in the articles too much).

4. Create your own blog and use as many links as you can (Best).

*You can use Tumblr with 311.30M monthly visits with the same strategy to scale.

2. Blogging is a difficult task to accomplish but it is one of the best ways to drive traffic as blogs are most 

effective when it comes to sales and affiliate marketing.

You must not need any writing skills to master writing content.

You just need some info about your affiliate product and the basic FAQ included in your blog and use your link as much as you can.

Use images and the content provided by your affiliate company that is more than enough.

*For more and better content ideas you can use h-supertools for questions and keyword search.

3.

When we talk about Youtube first thought that comes to mind is content creation, but here is the key there is no need to create videos, we just need a youtube account.

After this search videos related to your affiliate services and find the latest videos related to your company.

Next is go to the comment section and just write few sentences about your services and share your links there.

Reply to many comments and help people out and make them reach your affiliate links and services. 

These are few suggestions for the young and upcoming business personalities. 90% of the people would just read and ignore the rest of the part but the key point and the main tip is to START no matter what you do just pull out some hours of your day and execute and just see the change.

*For any questions or any queries the comment section is open for all.😊
