Probably you have heard of Affiliate Marketing in Nigeria and it's something you have not been able to wrap your head around.

Funny enough majority if these big boys earn money from the comfort of their own homes.

In this article, I am going to explain exactly what is Affiliate Marketing, how it works, some existing programs that you can take immediate advantage from and how to go about it like a pro.

Isn't that cool? So let's get started immediately to see exactly how this work.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?
One of the best definition of Affiliate Marketing I found is Patt Flynn's Smart Passive Income:

Affiliate Marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people's (or company's) products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale you make.

To simplify it in bullets:

Find a product/service you like,
Promote it to your audience and,
You earn a profit or commission from the product owner for every sake you make.
According to Wikipedia

Affiliate Marketing is a type of performance-based marketing, in which a business rewards one or more Affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the Merchant (also known as ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the Network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the Publisher (also known as ‘the Affiliate’), and the Customer.

Simplifying this for better understanding:

Wikipedia talks about 4 different parties that are involved: the Merchant, the Network, the Publisher, and the Customer:

Merchant:
This is the owner or the creator of the product/service. This could be any product ranging from physical products like (Jewelry) or even digital products (eBook). Anyone offering a product online for sales is a Merchant and most serious Merchants will likely be open to getting Affiliates on his blog or website.

Publisher:
This is someone always called an Affiliate, he simply takes a product link from a merchant and promotes it to his own audience, thereby sending traffic (Leads) to the Merchant's website - to make sales and earn commission/profits.

Network:
This is a platform where both Merchants and Affiliates co-exist. Merchants signup to list all their products in their affiliate program and Affiliates see these, pick up offers appealing to them. These platforms always stand as a third-party between the Merchant and Affiliate especially with ensuring due payments and satisfaction of both parties.

Customer:
Anyone who makes a purchase from the Merchant through the Affiliate is known to be a Customer. I always call them the most important party because, without them, there aren't any commission or revenue to be made.

Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
As of 2018, it is expected that every Affiliate should disclose the relationship they have with a Merchant and let customers know they are part of an affiliate marketing system, but sincerely most Affiliates don't. Affiliate Marketing in Nigeria is getting big and we must start operating on a global scale.

What Affiliate Marketers do is to keep the tracking system in the background, a customer can follow the purchase process like his own. For example, I can advertise a product on Jumia to you, promote it as though I own it and I give you a link to buy and I earn a commission without you knowing. It's not much of a big deal anyway, but I think transparency keeps relationships that can close more deals in the future.

Personally, I will simply advise Affiliate Marketers to be transparent to potential customers and I will let you know why I strongly hold on to this in the cause of this article.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
Let's assume you have a website that you drive traffic through your marketing efforts online to make sales. It could be through Google, organic traffic, social media etc.



What happens is that marketers usually get exhausted. They may exhaust sales on generated traffic, or run out on ideas on how to keep marketing campaign going.

In this scenario, the best thing these companies do is to outsource sales to other affiliate members who have potential buyers of the products. And of course, share the revenue. In this case, it is usually a win-win for both parties. Both the Merchant and Affiliate makes sales in passive income.

https://dapsdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/aff1-min.png

This is what Merchants do to sort sales:
They will give Affiliates a “unique link” through which Customer visits.

Usually the format for affiliate links look like this:
www.anywebsite.com?affiliate=1 (Affiliate 1)
www.anywebsite.com?affiliate=2 (Affiliate 2)

The part after the “?” in the URL is a unique ID and this is what the Merchant use to track which Affiliate sends him the sale and then he makes necessary commission as agreed.

Here is what it should look like:

https://dapsdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/aff4-min.png

In the picture above. Affiliate 1 and Affiliate 2 both sent traffic to the website www.anywebsite.com but for some reasons the only sale made was through Affiliate 1

The website owner will be able to track the unique ID through the tag; “affiliate=1”.
https://dapsdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/aff5-min.png

He then sends commission to the Affiliate through a pre-arranged payment methods.

affiliate marketing in nigeria

What we must note again is that most affiliate programs do not pay based on “per-click” but “per-sale” basis.

Few Affiliate Programs that works In Nigeria.
Before now, Affiliate Marketing in Nigeria seem to be a hard knot to crack because of the “trust issues” most foreign affiliate network programs have in Nigerians.

Nigerians suffered: complete omission of Nigeria from the list of accepted countries for most Affiliate Programs. Clickbank still will not accept Nigerians today, talk less of Paypal.

The Inability to find a suitable payment method for Nigerians, made it look impossible to do Affiliate business beyond the shores of the country.

Now?

The story is different, thanks to services like Payoneer, Skrill, etc. Nigerians can now receive earnings easily from these Affiliate Programs. This is the simple reason why majority of Affiliate Marketers make huge profit from this online model.

The challenge with most Nigerians is the ability to find good Affiliate Programs. Here are a little few you should consider:

Affiliate Programs In Nigeria
There are quite a hand-full of Affiliate programs in Nigeria today with amazing commissions, I know quite a few people who are basically Affiliate members with Jumia and Konga and they make millions in sales.

Jumia Affiliate program:
Jumia affiliate program can be everything a blogger or website owner needs to make it big if he/she knows how to go about it. In fact, you can turn your website or blog into a money-making machine. All that is required of you is to drive traffic to Jumia online store by choosing from their thousands of products to advertise to customers and make money when your visitors buy from them.

Konga affiliate program:
With over hundred thousand available products waiting to be promoted, Konga affiliate program is actually one affiliate program that should be considered.

Reputed for paying, its 9% commission on every product is capable of earning you some fortune.

Interestingly, you actually don’t need anything to get started with Konga affiliate.

Wakanow affiliate program:
Wakanow.com Limited is Africa’s leading online travel companies. And its affiliate program is designed to enable travel agencies and individuals who engage in selling travel products to make big profits by selling highly discounted Wakanow travel products (flight, hotels, airport pick-ups, tour packages etc) to their customers.

Web4africa Affiliate Program:
Web4africa has headquarter based in Ghana, deals on professional reseller and shared web hosting on Linux and Windows platforms.

They offer an affordable domain name registration and e-commerce solutions for Africans and the world at large.

Looking for a job

Thanks

Do you want a better life? you want a better job? perhaps more business opportunities in Nigeria is all you desire, whichever the case is, personal branding plays a significant role in ensuring you get more deals – by implication more financial gratification.

Personally, my concept of business is building a brand. Studying Business Administration in the University of Jos played a significant role in understanding the concept of personal branding and why it is important to create a lots of business opportunities in Nigeria especially. In the same manner I have always faulted the popular concept of cost minimization and profit maximization which most entrepreneurs build their business around. Using this concept will make you compromise on quality, branding and catalysts to bring more business opportunities.

Since I started my entrepreneurial journey since college days, I have been working on building myself a brand and the results have been amazing, to call a spade a spade – it is what has brought me this far. So I thought to share my personal branding strategy in this article. This is far from saying I have built a strong brand, NO! I’d rather say I’m building a strong brand.

My personal branding efforts singled me out in the massive crowd, got me some good deals, brought more income, and life cannot get any better. I have got random invitations to speak at workshops, got some deals to help start-ups run digital marketing campaigns, consult for some businesses on digital marketing, get clients all over the globe to design beautiful and engaging websites for business and personal use, and so many more. All of these came through deliberate and intentional personal branding efforts.

I feel very sad when I see people ignore this little but highly significant and distinctive ability to stand out. I will focus on how to brand yourself to get more job offers and more business deals.

Do You Exist In A Market?
The undeniable truth is this: Every organization out there wants good people with amazing skills and qualities who they see as an asset to work with them. Amazingly you know you are all of these things but yet you do not have that job. You have all the skills, yet your business is dragging. Your competitors whom apparently you are more skillful than get all the good deals and leaves you with crumbs. This can be very annoying, very painful I must confess. The reality is that you deserve more, unfortunately those who need you and everything you have to offer do not know you exist. That is just the problem, and the only solution is to market yourself as a brand even if you goal is just to get a job.

Through experience, I can confidently say that this is the best way to get any dream job or create any dream life. I have been in a similar situation before. This problem cannot be solved by uploading your resume in more employment portals like jobberman, having an active LinkedIn profile or by applying for more jobs offline. If you have tried that before, I am sure you ended up bored and frustrated with the process. Those portals that have several job listings and you wonder whoever get the jobs.

With my personal branding method, I am getting relevant and good job offers and also lots of business opportunities in Nigeria. I’m grateful for this, so I thought to share my experience. Just the other day I got a call from someone who would want me to help him penetrate his business into a new market, he is looking to penetrate more in the Nigerian market and also Africa. So he told me, he knows I have lived in Jos, Nigeria for some years and I know the terrain and I also have the skills, and he needs to create a new market in the North-Central. That is just an example. Now people recognize me as a promising entrepreneur and digital marketing expert, and I’ll never have to hunt for good jobs again.

Why Good People Don’t Always Get Good Jobs or create more business opportunities in Nigeria
Before we start discussion on my personal branding strategy, let us have a look at this ugly reality first. Good people are not the only ones having a difficulty in finding the right jobs or creating more business opportunities in Nigeria. Organizations are also finding it very difficult to recruit good people to work for them. This is so true.

So there are a lot of good jobs and good people out there, but they are not dating each other. It is true! I know corruption plays a significant role in this but I do not want to go into that. Organizations are always complaining about the difficulty of recruiting the best qualified people to work with them and experts are always complaining about not having enough good and relevant jobs.

Why is this happening? The reason is because most appraisal tools in a recruiting process is not measurable. For example, consider two people who work in a computer factory. One person assembles 500 computers a day and the other person assembles only 400 computers a day. Now it is easy to say who is the expert in assembling computers. More computers per day, the better he/she is.

This is the big problem, in reality this concept is inaccurate. A manager who makes a hiring decision cannot measure your expertise with any tests or tools. So people hire with quick results, emotion and “gut feeling” and hence the mega mismatch between job openings and individuals.

In reality it takes at least 6 months for a manager to completely understand the unique skills of his/her subordinate. So even if you actually possess the skills, they may never give you the chance because not everyone will get a chance to go through a probation period, and you may lose great opportunities. To overcome this, you need to brand yourself in such a way that people perceive you as an expert even before they hire you either for a paid job or business. That’s exactly what preeminent branding is all about.

In general, there is a huge market demand for experts because experts get the job done, no stories. But being an ‘expert’ is a subjective thing. There is no way to measure someone and certify them as an expert or otherwise. You become an expert with indicators of expertise – which for many people is accidental, but for guys like me, it’s a deliberate effort. How to build that brand as an expert is what this article is going to be about.

Why Qualification & Certifications Isn’t Good Enough
Don’t get it twisted at all, certifications never prove that you are an expert. Really?� That’s because the market is crowded with too many certifications. Certifications just demonstrate mere knowledge, but never expertise. People WILL NOT hire you for what you know, they hire you for the results you can bring. I chronicled a similar thought in this article How to Become a Self Made Digital Marketing Expert 2017

Creating more business opportunities in Nigeria has nothing to do with mere certifications. Certificate really is getting outdated. True that!☹

Now Is it OK to Brand and Market Yourself?
Absolutely YES!

I would attest that the idea of marketing yourself may feel a little creepy when starting out. You have to overcome that hesitation. If you are really good at something, it is your responsibility to let the world know about it.

My branding strategy is based on how companies market their brands to their customers. But it is not the marketing that you see around you. Don’t worry! I am not going to tell you to create banner ads for yourself neither will you need to start an advertising campaign!

How To Be Seen As An “Expert” to get more business opportunities in Nigeria
The web definition of an Expert is a person who is very knowledgeable about or skillful in a particular area.

It is one thing to be an expert, it another thing to be seen or perceived as an expert. Yup!�

As difficult as it is to become an expert – perhaps as difficult as a lifetime of learning, it is the easy part. Making people see you as an expert is the hardest and most important part. You are never going to become an expert for yourself, are you? not even when you want more business opportunities in Nigeria.

Okay, let’s quickly run through what experts do. This will help us to identify how to be seen as an expert.

Experts Write: Experts write books. They also publish great informative articles on their blog. Many people read their blog. They post articles on reputed publications, newspapers, magazines and blogs.
Experts Speak: Experts speak at seminars, do guest lectures at universities, conferences, and workshops.
Experts are Thought Leaders: Experts are not just “I-know-a-lot-of-stuff” people. They also have unique ideas, concepts and theories which they have developed over a period of time. To cut short, they are authorities and thought leaders in their field of work.
Experts Train: Experts also train other people. They charge a lot for the training. The Experts of experts charge even more.
Experts Consult: They work as consultants to many businesses and organizations because… well, they are experts!
You see how experts create more business opportunities in Nigeria? If an expert does none of the above, then it would be quite an uphill for us to accept that he/she is an expert. If you are an expert and you have not started any of the things mentioned above, you want to start immediately.

Here’s My Personal Branding Strategy

Do you want a better life? you want a better job? perhaps more business opportunities in Nigeria is all you desire, whichever the case is, personal branding plays a significant role in ensuring you get more deals – by implication more financial gratification.

Personally, my concept of business is building a brand. Studying Business Administration in the University of Jos played a significant role in understanding the concept of personal branding and why it is important to create a lots of business opportunities in Nigeria especially. In the same manner I have always faulted the popular concept of cost minimization and profit maximization which most entrepreneurs build their business around. Using this concept will make you compromise on quality, branding and catalysts to bring more business opportunities.

Since I started my entrepreneurial journey since college days, I have been working on building myself a brand and the results have been amazing, to call a spade a spade – it is what has brought me this far. So I thought to share my personal branding strategy in this article. This is far from saying I have built a strong brand, NO! I’d rather say I’m building a strong brand.

My personal branding efforts singled me out in the massive crowd, got me some good deals, brought more income, and life cannot get any better. I have got random invitations to speak at workshops, got some deals to help start-ups run digital marketing campaigns, consult for some businesses on digital marketing, get clients all over the globe to design beautiful and engaging websites for business and personal use, and so many more. All of these came through deliberate and intentional personal branding efforts.

I feel very sad when I see people ignore this little but highly significant and distinctive ability to stand out. I will focus on how to brand yourself to get more job offers and more business deals.

Do You Exist In A Market?
The undeniable truth is this: Every organization out there wants good people with amazing skills and qualities who they see as an asset to work with them. Amazingly you know you are all of these things but yet you do not have that job. You have all the skills, yet your business is dragging. Your competitors whom apparently you are more skillful than get all the good deals and leaves you with crumbs. This can be very annoying, very painful I must confess. The reality is that you deserve more, unfortunately those who need you and everything you have to offer do not know you exist. That is just the problem, and the only solution is to market yourself as a brand even if you goal is just to get a job.

Through experience, I can confidently say that this is the best way to get any dream job or create any dream life. I have been in a similar situation before. This problem cannot be solved by uploading your resume in more employment portals like jobberman, having an active LinkedIn profile or by applying for more jobs offline. If you have tried that before, I am sure you ended up bored and frustrated with the process. Those portals that have several job listings and you wonder whoever get the jobs.

Are you a business owner and you have wondered why you should create a website for your business in Nigeria? Perhaps you are bothered because you are a small business owner, don’t worry in this post I’ll show you exactly why you should create a website for your business.

Nigeria has one of the biggest market in Africa, no credible/wise brand targets Africa and rule out the Nigerian market. Would you expect anything less from the most populous black nation on earth? Whether you are a small business owner or not, I’ll tell you why you should create a website for you business today.

We have a huge market, nothing more! Worse case, we are a consuming nation. Everything sells in Nigeria. If you have issues selling in the Nigerian market then you probably are not doing your homework well.

The level of internet accessibility and penetration in Nigeria is overwhelming – One of the largest internet user in Africa, I feel we just began this journey in Nigeria. Another thing worthy of mention is the level of obsession of the social media especially among the Nigerian youths. This is changing the business environment in Nigeria completely. Well, It’s really a global phenomenon.

Before I lost you completely, the intention of this post is to tell you why creating your own website for business is right thing to do. Alright! Let’s get started. This is now the trend – every serious business now wants to pitch their products and services right before their buyers or potential customers – this customers spend less time now on television, radio, magazines and other traditional means of marketing. They spend all of their time on the internet, especially on social media and their choicest blogs and websites. This is why Google and Facebook especially are becoming the strongest brands in the world – they make serious money from ads on their platforms.

I know there are several reasons listed on the internet why creating your own website for business is important, I won’t be joining the rat race, I’ll share very important few tips from personal experiences why you should consider to create a website for your business today especially if you are in Nigeria.

To create a website Isn’t much expensive anymore:
Yes! This is true, even though I believe it can negate the reality out there. But the truth is that you do not need to hire the biggest web design agency to design your business website – they are charging you more for their brand than for the website. I am a professional website designer and developer so I am qualified to say this. There are several website designer like myself that are targeting small and medium scale businesses like yours. The problem starts when you try to hire top brands and their quote is unrealistic for your business. I design the best websites at the cheapest – you can checkout my previous work using this link http://services.dapsdigital.com or just call 08032502708. We workout easy plans, as far as hosting you on our server till you are able to buy your own hosting account. You cannot beat that.�

Your business stops being invisible:
I know how hard it is to start a business and you just realize you are invisible. You have heard about the big market opportunity in Nigeria and you want to harness it. Somehow you have the right the product/services but no one pays enough attention. This is painful! �Hey, here is where you got it wrong! YOU ARE INVISIBLE. You wonder despite sharing your gigs or pitching your products/services on your social media handles. Here is another truth, you are pitching a good product to people who do not need it. Today, more and more consumers in Nigeria use the internet to search for the products or services they need. Your small business will be visible and also gain credibility by having a business website. Without one, potential customers will go to your competitors that do. If you already have a website but it is “home-made”, having it professionally redesigned will provide your business with a professional image which will inspire even greater confidence.��

Your business website can affect your pricing:
Studying business in the University of Jos is a blessing I’m grateful for always. I understand the concept of branding and how it is important in business. The other day I told a friend who is an MC after checking his Instagram page and I saw his gigs, immediately I advised him to create a website for his business, after offering him a good deal he was ready to have a website. Cutting the long story short, after the website, when people visited his page and they got a link to make bookings on his website, they also see him use professional emails (like mine: mail@dapsdigital.com), that did not only made him look more professional but affected his pricing up to 100%. People couldn’t price is services less because of the aura of professionalism that emanates from him. We love that branding and we are ready to pay for it in Nigeria.


Your business website improves customer service:
Maybe you sell environmentally friendly products and would like to share tips on how to recycle, or perhaps you’re an accountant and want to give your clients advice on how to simplify their bookkeeping practices. By including a FAQ page, adding articles or uploading newsletters to answer all your customers’ questions you can keep them up-to-date. What better way to provide them with value added service than by sharing information on your website. The good thing is that this also save you time, you do not need to always have to answer every client who need some information – you have them already on your website. This will allow you focus more on major things rather than being distracted by minor things.


Y[b]our business website provides social proof:[/b]
Social proof is a big deal in Nigeria as far as consumers are concerned. It’s a typical consumer behavior to always want to get value for their money. What business owners must know today is that marketing has gone way more than what you tell potential customers about your products/services. What sells more is what other people who have used your products/services can say about it. I’d believe more if I see someone used a product and testify to it. Your websites makes you available online for reviews. There are several review blogs and websites right here in Nigeria ready to review products for their readers – not having a website rule you out of that. Social proof even happen on a website now, sellers encourage buyers to leave a positive review of their products on their website, companies also publicly displaying what their customers are saying about them on their websites. These have validated more businesses in Nigeria.��

Your business website help you automate sales:
What can be more important for a business than to automate sales for your business. Instead of always trying to sell directly to new and old customers every time, why not allow your website do that? For example: I have a store on my website https://dapsdiary.com, people randomly visit the store and they can purchase from me without my input. They select which products they need, pay online and even get a receipt online – all automated! This is something you want to consider. Even if you don’t sell products, people can book and also pay for your services on your website. Like I said in my first point above, you do not need to spend a fortune to have this type of website in Nigeria, talk to me and get a good quote for your business at http://services.dapsdigital.com

Digital marketing is a developing trend in Nigeria, hurry before it gets saturated:
I have friends in India, America and Canada and the level of competition in the digital marketing world over there is highly competitive. Almost all businesses compete online, it will still take us some more years to get to that level of competition in Nigeria. It is wise to have a website now and start ranking for relevant keywords – thereby establishing your authority over the internet before all your competitors, if you are one of the ones left behind, it is not too late to join. The truth is that is the final destination every business is going in Nigeria. The internet has just come to stay. I have few clients in the UK and I see how important a website is to their businesses, it is even more important than having an office. People visit websites more often than an office.

Conclusion:
If you have a business in Nigeria right now, you should consider to create a website today. Whether you are an artisan, you own a school, hospital, etc. And if cost has been a challenge and you have an “home-made” crappy looking business website, you should consider a professional website today, that might be all the difference in the competition.

I hope I have made you see why you should create a website for your business in Nigeria and if I have not, I guess you probably do not take your business serious.�

Failing to have a website would be a mistake as big as failing to have a phone in pre-Internet days.
