Many of my friends have no idea what affiliate marketing really is. So I will tell you a little story today from my real life that you can contemplate a bit about.

Not long ago I was asked by a friend.
What are those posts you put on your timeline all about?

What do you really do?

Me: I do affiliate marketing beside my normal work.

Friend: Oh - well I guess Affiliate marketing is for people with a special interest in it.

Me: it depends on how you look at it really

Friend: So who is it for?

Me:

Affiliate marketing is a way to earn income online by earning commissions from selling other peoples products or create your own product and use affiliates to sell your product.

It is for people who would like to earn an extra income part time or full time.

People who wants to monetize their hobbies and specia skills and build a business from it

It is also for persons who like to learn new skills and to help other people solving problems.

Most people online starts as affiliates and learn different methods how to earn commissions for selling other peoples products.

Some are creators and use affiliate marketing as a method to build their business.

Friend:: I see, so you are like an online sales agent in a way?

Me: Yes you may say so in a way, but at the same tim I build skills and recurring income for doing my job one time.

Friend: That i interesting. Do you think I could sell my art online?

Me: for sure you can. I can help you out if you need any help.

The lesson I learned from this conversation with my friend is that not all people know the power of affiliate marketng and what it will mean for them if they should start with it.

My friend who was very sceptic to sales and marketing stuff and had no interest in it suddenly realized she could use it to her own benefit as an artist. It became interesting.

Now she is in the process of creating an online video painting course.

Helping someone create a vision of a positive outcome is powerful

Yes it is. It is all about seeing it from the other persons perspective

Thank you for sharing.
What a great illustration of helping people see that there is an opportunity online that resonates with them.

Yes. Often people do not see how an opportunity can benefit them. Especially when it comes to artists who are in a very different mindset than affiliate marketing

You make some very valid points here, Hilde!
