What is Affiliate Digital Marketing

I mostly recommend the products and services that I utilize.

So, you as an affiliate marketer will earn a commission on the sale on the product or service that was sold through a specific company’s website. This commission is a percentage of the total sale of a product or service; that is, this earned commission is never added to the actual price of the product or service. So, basically you can post a link on your site for each product or service; then, when someone follows that link and purchases that product or service, you get a commission.

What are the most important principles of Affiliate Digital Marketing? The most import aspect of the strategy is to recommend relevant products and services to your audience. If you have a blog about how to lose weight, and you post blogs about video games or how to start an e-commerce store, this will not spark any interests for your audience. Instead, write about how start ad balanced and nutritious diet and stay fit and energized by creating your own exercising and fitness schedule. So, promote products & services that have to do with your audience needs.

5 STARTING STEPS

---

Choose a Niche

---

STEP ONE

Choose a Niche and Start a Blog

Niche

A Niche is basically a distinct and specific market area aimed to its own particular customers, products and services.You need to write about something that you enjoy, have experience or knowledge about.

Remember that the blog content will reflect your intention and personality that you want to bring to your readers; therefore; it is essential that the topic should be concise, relevant, goal oriented and with a truthful meaning.

Niche   Definitions from Oxford Languages

Noun       a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service. ” he believes he has found a niche in the market”

Adjective denoting or relating to products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population. “other companies in this space had to adapt to being niche players”

It is very important to consider who your audience is going to be, meaning what is my ideal visitor, what interests visitors have in common or what kind of problems they may have that I can offer a valuable solution to.

BLOG

A blog is generally aim to a specific market or audience which can provide answers to common questions and valuable information to someone who visits your site.

One of the best ways to get more organic traffic to your website is by using long keyword title. For example you can post an article entitled “how does affiliate marketing work” then you could include the steps of to start a business and maybe disclose the benefits and advantages of having one. So when visitors search the same or similar question it is because they want to get more information about the topic or somebody recommended to them, you will acquire a warm lead and a potential customer.

In a Blog one can post any meaningful stories, opinions, photos, videos, or any other valuable information can be posted about a specific subject on a regular basis. A specific market audience needs to be selected so valuable information and answers can be delivered to website visitor.

I will also suggest to create content that is interesting and original. The most important thing is that you must add new content in a consistent manner which will help you to have successful blogging and website.

Get Hosting and Domain

---

STEP TWO

GET HOSTING & Domain – Web Hosting Creation

Once you decided to start a affiliate marketing business the first thing you need to do is to create a webpage. You will need Web hosting service and a Domain.I would suggest not to get the typical free blog because it doesn’t provide the flexibility, the control and the professional image you you need for your business.

Domain

A domain is basically the name of your website which serves as an URL address in the internet and it is usually included in the service. You get a 1 year free when you sign up at BluehostSo now, it is per say quite affordable to set up your website so you can begin your new blogging life.

As you grow and start reaching between 10,00 to 15,000 visitors hits, you need to consider to upgrade your service.

Finding a good domain is very simple, but it is important to point out that it should be short, unique and easy to remember. In order to find out if a domain is available one need to check it out in the hosting service. I recommend to choose one that includes the .com on the name. Once you pick the right domain, you can register so you can start configuring your website.

WordPress

A good option is to Install WordPress Software

Some Web Hosting sites provide FREE WordPress Download.

WordPress is very user friendly and all you have to do is install and activate once you purchase your web hosting site. It provides hundreds of plugins to help you create an customize your blog structure as well as many varieties of themes for  your website appearance with a few add and drop and clicks without any need of high technical knowledge, but must have some patience and exercise some practice. Millions of users trust WordPress worldwide and it accounts for 25 % of usage in the internet.
