Affiliate marketing is a business model where you promote another company's products and earn a commission on every sale made through your unique affiliate link. It is a popular way to make money online in Nigeria, and it has been growing in popularity over the years.

Three questions I often get asked from my email subscribers include:
"Does Affiliate Marketing work?"
"How much can I earn from it?"
"How soon can I start earning?"

Yes, affiliate marketing works. It has worked for others, it's working for me and it'll probably work for you if you put in the necessary effort. The answers to the other two questions depend on your competence, effort and commitment. Some people started earning in 2 weeks, others in a month or two months. (Check the images below for proof).

Just remember no sale no commission.


To start affiliate marketing in Nigeria, you need to follow these steps:

1. Choose a niche: You need to find a niche that you are passionate about and has products that you can promote.

Some stats I read state that around 80% of online content publishers join affiliate marketing and 8 out of 10 brands run an affiliate program. It is a definitely way to go, but it's necessary to learn the best practices and do it right. To get familiar with the software to grow, track and manage your campaigns. For example, use an affiliate dashboard to keep track of your performance - conversions, commission, sale amount, clicks, sessions, CTR (Click Through Rate) and ECPC (Earned Commission per Click). Also, you need to know which affiliate links are performing the best and where you could use some improvement or a change of strategy. If you are serious and invest in courses and tools, it can be great source of income.
