How amazing would it be to earn money on digital and physical products that you did not have to invest blood, sweat, and tears into? Especially when you can simply send an email to your list or push the publish button on your social media account and watch the sales roll in. While I am a huge proponent of every entrepreneur having their own product line, I'm also big on working smarter instead of harder.
Each and every minute a product is sold. New products are constantly being introduced into the marketplace. There are a plethora of ready-made products to choose from. So many in fact that it can become down-right overwhelming as a consumer. However, as an entrepreneur this is like turning your laptop into an ATM machine.
Adding an Extra Income Stream Is Easier Than You Think
One of my favorite ways to add value to my community by offering products that I didn't have to create is affiliate marketing. Unfortunately, some internet marketers have given it a bad rap by scamming folks. You're not them. As long as the product is in alignment with your values and you stand behind it, then you'll be just fine.
Affiliate marketing is where you earn a commission for referring a product, program or service. This is NOT a pyramid scheme. When you sign up to become an affiliate you'll receive a custom link that tracks the number of sales you generate. You can earn anywhere from 3% to 50% for each referral sale.
Affiliate programs aren't only for Fortune 500 companies. Solopreneurs and every size business in between is able to have an affiliate program in this day and time. That's fantastic news for you. With that said, they aren't heavily promoted. Most of the time you can find a sign-up link in the website footer or on the contact page of your favorite brands. If not, then you can always ask on their contact form. Amazon, ClickBank, and Ebay have affiliate programs with more than enough inventory to promote.
Share Products and Services That Have Helped You
The key to generating consistent affiliate income is to promote products that you actually use and would recommend to one of your family members. Remember, your reputation is attached to whatever you promote. Be very selective with both digital and physical products. Even though it's tempting to sign up for a hundred affiliate programs you should limit them to 10 or less.
No one wants to be sold to! Simply share products or services that have helped you to do something quicker, better or faster. Sharing how you use the product, the results that you've gotten, and your honest feedback will allow you to move to the top of your affiliate class. Look for ways to tie it into your day-to-day activities and marketing promotion calendar. Be careful not to bombard your email list and social media followers with promo after promo. Doing this will cause your audience to put on blinders and they'll become immune to your offers and recommendations.
I really want you to soak in the immense benefits of affiliate marketing. You don't have to create a single product. You don't have to fulfill orders. You don't have to manage a website. You don't have to handle any customer service issues. Your initial investment is zero dollars. Are you in? Leave a comment below and let me know which affiliate program you're going to try first. I'll come back and join in the conversation :)
