What is Affiliate Marketing (and the Top 5 reasons why you should consider getting started with the Business opportunity).

There are several ways to make money online and Affiliate Marketing is one of the simplest and perfect ones to start for a complete beginner or novice in the online space.

In this article...I will be explaining what the business actually is and 5 reasons why you should consider the opportunity.

Read with an open mind.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Let me ask you this…

I assume you’re using a smartphone. Have any of your friends told you how they liked your phone and asked you where you bought it so they can get it?

And you told them the vendor or maybe even went along with them to get the phone…

That is Affiliate Marketing – only in this case … you don’t get paid for the service.

Affiliate Marketing is RECOMMENDING helpful products to those who can benefit from it and can afford it and you get paid commission on EACH sale.

Back to the example of your friend…

Let’s say you had an agreement with the vendor that if you could get a person to buy a phone…you would be paid a % commission.

If the phone is N50, 000 with a 50% commission…that’s N25, 000 commission on EACH sale you could make.

So the more person you could get the buy a phone from the vendor…the more commission you get paid.

Affiliate Marketing is a business that is incorporated in many professions and business organizations.

Real Estate agents do Affiliate Marketing - they sell someone else's houses and properties and get paid a commission on each sale.

Amazon does this. Netflix at one time did this and even Jumia is currently doing this.

Jumia doesn't own any products on its platform. What they do is promote those products for the vendors and they get their percentage commission per product sold.

That's a sweet deal if you ask me.

Affiliate Marketing basically is selling products without creating or buying them yourself.

The products could be:

• Physical products such as goods...houses...landed properties or any products in their physical form.
• Digital or Electronic products such as E-books...Online Training programs...Webinars...Seminars...Online Events and even software.

Any products that can be sold and people can benefit from.

Here are the top 5 reasons why you may want to consider starting a business like Affiliate Marketing.

Watch out for number 4!

1. It requires little to no capital to start.

Unlike most businesses where you need to rent a shop for a heavy yearly fee…get a delivery system and all other kinds of stuff…

All you need to get started in the business is your mobile phone/laptop connected to an internet source and your hands to operate it.

You don’t need to create any products or buy one to sell later…

You’re simply PROMOTING a ready-made product via the internet and making money while doing so.

and with social media platforms on the rise...promoting has become much easier.

• No hassle about how to deliver the products...
• No dealing with customer complaints...
• No worries about creating any product.

All you need is to:

1. Have access to a platform where quality products are listed...
2. Pick a HOT product to promote...
3. Have access to an effective system of selling online.

2. No formal Education is required.

To make money from this business…your certification is not in question. Whether a student…graduate…stay-at-home mom/dad…9-5 worker…

In fact... this business is perfect for individuals who know close to nothing about selling online and has no products to sell.

As long as you can send and receive messages on Whatsapp and you’re reading up to this point…you’re good to go.

3. You are the boss.

You are in entire control of your business and you choose to run it anywhere and anytime you like.

You could literally be on your bed with pajamas on and still be making money from this business. Who wouldn’t want that?

There’s no boss yelling at you as to why you’re late for work…or your salary being deducted due to lateness.

You practically run the show.

4. The potential is endless.

Gone are the days when you need to work 9-5 for 30days a month to make money (even though 9-5 is a scam in a country like Nigeria. You never work 9-5. It’s more like 5 am - 9 pm…if not more).

You can start the business as a side hustle or as a full-timer and make a good amount of money within the shortest time possible.

Take me for example…

I started my Affiliate Marketing journey 5-6 months ago and with the little time I could spare from working 8 am - 9 pm and going to school…

I’ve been able to make 6-figures from the business.

Imagine the potential if I could dedicate more time to it? I’m currently working on it but shey you get my point?

You can go as far as make millions from the business like countless others have done.

5. It could turn into a passive income for you.

After you’ve earned a good amount of money…you can automate some heavy parts of the business so you could have more time to do what you love.

You can run ads to get more traffic. You can hire a copywriter to write your sales message or a ghostwriter to write content for you or can even hire people to run your business for you.

Money keeps coming in…more time for you to spend with your family…travel or if you’re like me… not miss out on big game nights to watch your favorite movie or football team – I’m a big Chelsea Fan.
