If you’ve been doing your research about affiliate marketing, then I am sure you have heard about affiliate programs (you can see the best ones for beginners here) and just like “affiliate marketing”, there are a lot of guides and how-to posts out there showing you which ones you need to join.

Today I am going to take it a one step further and give you in a step-by-step manner; how to earn money with an affiliate program.

Now, this is relatively simple, but explaining it would be hard seeing as how not all affiliate programs work the same way.

However, there are some real facts that you can learn today which will help you maximize your profits when you join a new affiliate program.

So, how can you earn money from affiliate programs?

What are some thing you should know and what are some things you can use (supplied by the affiliate programs) that will help you make more sales and achieve your affiliate marketing goals. Let’s find out…


(Below I will also give you a free suggestion to a training course which will provide you with more information on how to earn money as an affiliate marketer. Be sure to read to the end of this post for more details).

5 Things You Should Know About Affiliate Programs

There Are Many

If you think you have to be stuck with one or even just a handful of affiliate programs, then you are wrong. There are many, many many affiliate programs out there that you can choose from.

To find an affiliate program for your niche, all you have to do is type into Google, “your topic + affiliate program”.

I have used this method over and over again in my chosen niches, and each and every time, a simple search like that turns up 100s of programs that I can join and earn money from.

I am sure that whatever niche you want to promote as an affiliate marketer, there are also many to choose from.

Also, and this is good to mention, affiliate programs are not to be confused with “affiliate networks”.

What’s the difference you may ask?

An affiliate program is the affiliate backend system for one product or brand. On the other hand, an affiliate network is the affiliate backend used by many products and brands to run their affiliate marketing.

For instance, the Aweber affiliate site is an affiliate program, but sites such as JVZoo and Clickbank are affiliate networks.

Do you get the difference here?

With programs, you have to join each one individually, but on a network, one sign up and one account will do.

Some, like Share-A-Sale, would require approval from the product owner but for the most part; affiliate programs (such as ClickBank) will allow you to promote anything once you sign up and join the network.

Makes sense? Cool… moving on.

They Are Not The Same

Once you start getting into affiliate programs (and/or networks), it will be very clear to you that they are not all the same. Some companies use an out-of-the-box software to set up their affiliate backend, and some choose to build it themselves.

While both are great and you should use both, please understand that just because you are used to one and know how it works, doesn’t mean the other works the same.

I am telling you this not to confuse you, but to make it clear that you know what you are doing. You do not want to be the person sending traffic to a link that is just not right; that will lead to a huge loss of sales (more on this later).

Again; nothing to worry about; just something to keep an eye on.

Commissions Vary (A Lot)

Not all affiliate programs pay the same amount or even pay the same way.

Just because you find a program that pays 70% off a sale (it’s also common to find 100% commissions), it does not mean that every other program will pay the same way.

For example, Clickbank are known to pay a lot of money to their affiliates, on the other hand; the Amazon Associates program is on the low-end.

You have to also keep in mind that just because one pays you more, it doesn’t mean that it is better either. There are other things to look at instead of the money such as:

The brand reputation (Amazon is the clear winner here)
The variety of products available.
Type of products (digital products tend to pay more than physical products)
Again, this is not something you should be worrying about just yet, and it’s not a deal breaker if you find a low-paying affiliate program. Just do your own research and see the pros and cons of said program.

Some Are Good, Some Are Awful

In the past, affiliate marketing had a bad name because many were using it to scam money from uninformed users however; times have changed now.

Affiliate marketing is moire the “norm” nowadays, and you’d be surprised to know that a lot of big corporate companies now offer affiliate marketing models that you can join.

However, you may come across a few reviews that say certain programs are bad and while that might be true; it’s also good to point out that the “bad ones” are easy to spot.

Here are some of the best affiliate programs for beginners and if you have the time, also check out this post of how to spot an affiliate marketing scam.

There’s An Affiliate Program For Everything

Yes, and I mean this with 100% certainty; there is an affiliate program for everything under the sun.

Whatever is on Amazon, you can sell as an affiliate. That alone covers millions of products in (possibly) millions of niches.

Then, for the rest, whatever that may be, you can easily find an affiliate program by doing a simple search on Google, like I mentioned at the beginning of this article.

Just doing that will generate for you hundreds of different affiliate programs to join that you can use to build your business.

Is it easy as that?

Of course not; but there are free training guides available for you to get you started with affiliate marketing.

So, what’s next? How about we make some money!

How To Earn With An Affiliate Program


You Need A Website

Yes you do need a website, that is a must, and you just can’t build a real business without one.

You can earn a few cents here and there by posting links on Pinterest and Twitter, but that is about it and you can’t expect to grow to making the amount of money you’re thinking of in this way.

One of the first tasks you would need to do if you decided to join my getting started course is to build a website but do not worry; it’s super cheap or if you really do not want to spend money, you can also get a free website from here which will work as good as a “bought one”.

(The only difference between the two is that a free website can’t be branded too much.)

Start Writing Your Content Related To The Program

Right, now that you have your site up online and you’ve joined an affiliate program (or looking to join soon), it’s time to start writing content, which is extremely important.

Why is there so much emphasis on content?

Because you need visitors and the only way visitors will come in is if you have great content for them to see and read.

If you plan on doing any of the traffic generation techniques listed below, you are going to need content and a site to put it on:

SEO (Organic Traffic)
Social Media
Paid Ads (Google or Facebook)
Email marketing
and others.
Depending on which you pick to focus on, you need content. This is where having a site becomes a must because your content will live on your site.

Now, it’s important to note that if you want to earn money with an affiliate program, you need to write content that is tailored towards what the affiliate program is offering.

For instance, if you join an affiliate program that sells “plastic garden furniture” then your content needs to be around this particular area so when a visitor comes, he will see your offers are related to the content and then clicks through to make a purchase.

One thing to remember is that while you do not need to stick with just one affiliate program, it’s best if you stick with one niche or industry.

People are already confused and in a rush to find what they need, do not confuse them. Just create great content that is related to your industry and affiliate program.

Get Your Unique Affiliate Links

Right, this is a simple one but a crucial one to know, understand and do.

Just joining the affiliate program is not enough, you need to make sure you place the links provided by the affiliate program inside your content,

Your unique affiliate ID is what “tags” you to the sale and that is how you get paid commissions.

I am an Amazon Affiliate but sending people to Amazon without the URL having my own unique affiliate ID will not earn me anything.

This is very elementary, but something you really have to make sure you do well because if not, all we’ve just talked about and all the work you will put in will be futile.

See Results, Learn and Optimise

The last and final step that I will talk about is something you will never be “finished” off, and that is seeing the results you’re getting and optimizing for better results in the future.

Starting out, you may not be converting your traffic that well (it takes time to understand how your audience behaves with your affiliate links). That just comes from experience.

However, once you get your first sale, you will be able to “know” your current conversion rate.

For instance, to make things simple:

If, from every 100 people that lands on your site or store, one person converts, you have a 1% conversion rate.

That’s good, but it can always be better and what you need to do to truly understand how to earn money with affiliate marketing is to raise your conversion rate.

1% is good, 2% is even better, and 10% is way better than 5% as well.

You will never perfect this, you just can’t convert 100% of your visitors, but that is ok; as long as you keep pushing to this “unattainable” dream, you will be increasing your income over and over again.

Sounds impossible? It isn’t… it’s just the nature of affiliate marketing and online business in general.

try www.post4solution.com it pays affiliates a 60 percent commission

Forget these long stories. There is a strand of affiliate marketing (more like business arbitrage/brokerage) that yields more rewards than these stale pieces of information spammed all over the forum.

Simply find individuals or organisations with things to sell or services to render and then find people who need those things or services, and channel the markup into your pocket. Yeah, it sounds rather simple, but nothing good comes easy, so no ABC guide is necessary for those who are sufficiently motivated.

It's all in your face if you're willing to think, do some specialised research and take action. I'm probably not going to spill out all the details because salvation is always a personal journey. Every man must find his own way to Heaven's Gate.
