“Affiliate Marketing will make you bastard money”?
They’re not wrong.

But (as a Nigerian) here are 7 things successful affiliate marketers might not tell you..

(From Nigeria’s No1 Affiliate Marketer)
1. Calm down…

AM is a business, but because there’s so much hype about it, you think it’s a sprint.. but it’s actually a marathon

Calm down and take your time, map out your path, the journey to success is far. A blogger said it takes 12 months to start seeing result. True
2. Focus on learning.

Because the terrain is new to you, there are things you didn’t know you’d need to know, SEO, Facebook and google ads, landing pages, copywriting etc

There’s a lot to learn, but you don’t need to be an expert in all…

Just take it apart, bit by bit.
3. Focus on giving value.

This is probably an area newbies in AM don’t get… In AM you have to be willing to give first… before taking.

Give Give Give Give.. take.

This means you’ll have to do a lot of reading, researching, product and market research..

Yes A.M is a way to
create passive income, but before it is passive, it is first active.

So do your research and then give value, lots of it.. it establishes you as an authority in your niche which leads me to no 4.
Pick a Niche..

I’ve found out, that you can sell anything.. anything..

But finding a niche gives you laser like focus.. e.g. My niche is information marketing and I focus on How to Make money online products. It’s not that I won’t sell other things oh.. but focus
I heard this phrase “The riches are in the niches”

It’s true.. after mastering a particular niche, you can now choose to dabble into other areas with transferrable knowledge..
5. Build..

This is one area I found out late..

Build an audience… and it’s not as difficult as it sounds…this could be done on whatsapp or social media but email lists can never be wrong.

Find what it takes and build..

“To sell overnight, build an audience for years”
6. Get ready to spend

Yeah you probably don’t like this one, but not gonna lie, it’s true.. But it takes money to make money..

However time is money.. so either you spend money, or you’ll spend lots of time figuring things out from YouTube, blogs etc plus quality leads from
facebook and google ads, don’t come cheap…

So either spend time experimenting and learning, or hire someone who knows their onions to do it for you.. e.g you don’t need to learn how to build a website, you can hire a web developer or ask your network of friends to help
Last but not least..

Follow someone who is succeeding already.

A lot of times, it helps your learning curve, find their active social media profiles, follow them, join and study their newsletters, pay for their webinars, buy and review their materials..

It always pays off
