If you've decided to get involved in the online world and start an affiliate marketing business, there are a few things you need to know before you get started.

So, here are five things you ought to know and #1 is probably the most important.

1. Affiiliate marketing will be harder and will take you much longer to master than you expect. So, set your expectations right before you start and understand that you are in this for the long haul.
   
2. To be a successful affiliate marketer, you need to know for whom you are writing. Think seriously about your ideal customer. Develop a persona for him or her. Once you know this, you'll be able to solve their issues and build loyalty with your audience.
   
3. You'll need to know how to write compelling content. Storytelling is a vital part of compelling content. If your readers can envision themselves within the story of the product or service that you are promoting, you will begin building trust with them. This will lead them to the point of purchase.
   
4. Know that you should get comfortable with SEO [search engine optimization]. Research and use the right keywords. The right keywords will be a bridge between you and your ideal customer. It is also crucial to know that you should always be writing for people, not for search engines.
   
5. Finally, know and understand how to analyze data. Google Analytics can help you with this. It can show you which articles appeal to your audience and which don't. By understanding website traffic and audience behaviors, you can adapt to changing trends efficiently and stay in the game.
   

Of course, there are many more things that you'll eventually need to know, and this is just the right place to learn them.

Good luck on your affiliate marketing journey.
