So this question raises another question really – what does it take to be an affiliate marketer?
The answer, in my opinion, is that it takes these three things:
- Laptop/ mobile phone with internet connection
- Some affiliate links for people to buy through
- Determination
If you’ve got all three, you have everything it takes to be an affiliate marketer.
See, I keep saying – affiliate marketing is not rocket science.
You also don’t have to be one of those savvy salesmen – I never saw myself as having an ability to sell stuff – affiliate marketing is not about that.
So what is it about?
As cliche as this may sound, it’s about helping people.
It’s really true, because as an affiliate you’re literally not selling anything. It’s the product owner who’s supposed to sell the product, and that’s what their sales page is for.
Your job is different. Your job is to find out what the pain points are for your prospective customers.
You then have to identify the product in your portfolio of affiliate products that will help them with those pain points.
You need to explain to them how this product would help them, and convince them of that.
And then you need to get them to that sales page, where the product owner will sell them on the product.
So affiliate marketing is about listening to your customer and caring about their problems, and helping them find the solution.
For some people, this comes naturally. But even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, it is a completely teachable skill, and one that most affiliate marketing courses deal with.
Hope that helps
