What Affiliate Programs Will Generate the Most Money? That's Actually the Wrong Question...
So what is the right question? If you want to make a living with affiliate marketing, be sure that you don't just assume that one size fits all. The right question is, what would be relevant to my target market?
Let's analyze what I do since I've learned from my mistakes. :0 (finally)
Online, the affiliate programs that are making money for me sell only because I have learned how to reach my target market. Educational products about internet network marketing work well for me but they might not for you. Afterall, I'm a renegade network marketer - I had to break out of the MLM mold, so to speak. Why? Because I was failing. Well, people like me who have failed at MLM but still want to build a home-based business - that's who I can help. So I market my affiliate programs to people wanting a solution to that particular problem.
For Example, If You Are Good At Selling All Kinds Of Products, You Aren't My Target Market :)
I'm not good at sales so I can't help you if you are. I could if I chose to find an affiliate program that is right up your alley. I could study marketing your field and try to set up a website that would attract you but I'm better at writing about what I know from experience. Why? Because I can't sell anything face to face and you can. I can't relate.
If you are a network marketer who's not good at sales, you are my target market.
I'm not good at talking to uninterested people about Agel. I'm just not. Maybe you aren't either. Some people are. Some of my upline are excellent salesmen. But not me. Giving a sales pitch feels ridiculous to me.
So what did I do? Well, most of you know exactly what I did. I searched the internet for help, found Ann Sieg's book, The Renegade Network Marketer, and now I promote it. I sell it! Shocking. But I do and it's providing a nice income for me.
The change in my confidence and degree of hope went up because of her eBook. Did I start selling her book immediately as an affiliate? No, I'd never heard of affiliate marketing to cashflow my business with customers who say no to Agel.
But eventually, that became my affiliate marketing niche - I wanted to help people find out about a new way of network marketing online and decided to learn how to write and sell an eBook like Ann Sieg did :)
Of course as time goes on, I continued to study, I discovered that Ann Sieg would pay me to sell her eBook. So if I'm not good at sales, how does that work? Like a charm. Why? Because I only market to interested people, not to everyone I know, not to perfect strangers in the grocery store - just to people who find me online because of my internet marketing skills. All of the products I sell help people leave the old ways of network marketing behind. Sometimes my affiliate program customers ask about my MLM and a few even join.
The really great thing is that I am no longer Ms Desperate Marketer. Lisa explains affiliate marketing so well. Please watch her video. We will get into how to Clickbank in the next post.
That being said - consider some of my favorite affiliate programs and products:
