Are you a part of any of the above affiliate programs. If not then go ahead and join whichever is suitable for you.

As we all know, Amazon is the biggest online seller. It has all kinds of products. Anything you need, you will probably find it on Amazon.

Amazon Associates is their affiliate program and if you join that and promote the products then you get a small percentage. In order to make good money from Amazon associates program, you will need to sell many products. 

Many affiliate programs require you to enter a website address and also briefly explain how you would get traffic to their offers. If you have not created a website then I highly recommend you to do that first. 

Do not join an affiliate program without a website.

How to make the most money using Affiliate programs?

The concept is simple really. You have to get as many visitors to buy a product from your affiliate link. The more people you refer, the more money you will make.

The amount of money you will make by selling one affiliate product depends on which product you are selling and how much percentage is the commission.

There are programs which pay from a few cents to more than a thousand dollars.

They are called low ticket items and high ticket items.

If you sell low ticket items, you have to make more sales but if you are selling high ticket items then you can make a few sales and can make good money.

The whole idea is to build a following to your web property. When you have more people visiting your website or your youtube channel, then you have the leverage. 

You can reach more number of people and accordingly make more money.

There are affiliate programs which pay one time commission and there are affiliate programs which pay a recurring commission every month.

If you sell programs that give recurring commissions then you will be eventually making more money. 

But if you sell one time payment affiliate programs then you will have to keep selling to new customers.

One of the best ways to make sure you can send offers again and again to people is by collecting their name and email addresses from your website.

When you have a list of people who will receive your email and along the way you add products which will be helpful to them, then you will make more money from your existing customers again and again.

The money is in the List. Remember that.

The bigger your list, the more money you can make potentially.

Disclaimer: All this information will be of no use to you unless you work on it. I cannot guarantee that you will make X amount of money by following what I say. You have to do it if you want it.

Everybody’s experience is different and the amount of money everybody makes is also different.

There is no fixed income when you are working on your own. There is upside and there is downside.

You get freedom to choose what you work on. When you start making the regular income, you will be able to work on more projects that interest you.

So go ahead and get working. The most popular affiliate programs are waiting for you. Use them to your advantage. 

By the way, most people in the world who are trying their luck with affiliate marketing will not make a decent living. They will quit before they can get to that point. I would encourage you to keep going if you are serious about it.
