Starting in Affiliate Marketing With ZERO Doubts.

Starting out in affiliate marketing, it is completely normal to have doubts.

I know I did when I first began. The online business landscape can seem overwhelming at first, but the potential is big...and by big, I mean massive. But how did I go from knowing nothing, to creating a thriving business online.

It's actually simple. I decided to focus on the OPPORTUNITIES rather than the UNCERTAINTIES. I think a big mistake people make is focusing too much on the latter.

Let me share how you can start with zero doubts and full confidence.

Understanding the Vast Potential Online.

First and foremost, realize the scale of the internet. There are billions of people online, each a potential customer. In fact, there are currently 5.5 BILLION active internet users.

That is a lot of people. That is also a lot of surfers. Social media users. Buyers. Informational consumers. Video watchers. Readers. Community partakers.

You take this, combine with the products that you can promote as an affiliate marketer and that alone represents a massive industry...and one that we want you to capitalize on.
Here are a few things working on your favor right now:

1. Billions of People Online (5.5B to be exact)
2. • The internet is a vast marketplace. With billions of users worldwide, the potential audience for your promotions is enormous.
     
2. Millions of Products to Promote (est. over 550 Million)
   
3. • As an affiliate marketer, you are not limited to a single product or niche. There are literally millions of products and services you can promote, catering to diverse interests and needs. The Amazon marketplace alone sells over 350 MILLION products alone.

Focus on Matching Products With the Right Audience

The next step is understanding how to connect these products with the right audience. Your goal is to find the people who are already looking for what you are promoting.

1. Identify Your Niche
2. • Start by choosing a niche that you are passionate about. This will make it easier to create content and engage with your audience. There are lots of niches out there, and you have tools here at WA to help you align yourself with your niche.
     On another note, we have a REALLY freaking cool platform coming to help you refine your niche from broad ideas, even offering you opportunity rating insights. For example, say I was passionate about "Football" (soccer and NFL), here are some instant business ideas I get...
     
     Lots of viable directions I could go with my business, and that is based off of one search alone. This platform is going to be in your hands within the next few weeks here.
     
2. Research and Understand Your Audience
   
3. • Know who your potential customers are, what they need, and where they hang out online. This will help you create targeted content and marketing strategies.
     This research is done for you right within the 'Niche Research' section inside of Hubs, as you can get to the more specific "problem solving" type content ideas and keywords. These are pure opportunity "gems".
     
     
3. Create Valuable Content
4. • Produce content that provides value to your audience. This could be in the form of blog posts, videos, reviews, or social media posts. Your content should aim to solve a problem or fulfill a need.
     With the AI Designer and Author platforms, I can create articles in minutes. In fact, with the Bulk Writing feature I could write all 10 of the above "How To" articles at once. These are high quality, 100% unique and SEO ready articles!
     
     Remember, content equates to search engines rankings and traffic and that is the early stage focus and the core of your business.
     
4. Selling the Right Stuff
5. • Once you have content and traffic, you can effectively integration product/service offers into your content and earn affiliate commissions. These will range from a few bucks, to potentially $1,000+ commissions.
     In the case of my football niche, I can utilize the Revenue Opportunities section within my hub to discover 100+ instant product/service program ideas along with their affiliate program that I can join.
     
     As you can see, I can earn anywhere from $15 - $120 in commission in this one category alone. Say at an average of $50 commissions, it only takes 6 sales from your website per day to earn a 6+ figure income online.

Overcome Doubts. Look to the Future. And Thrive!

Starting in affiliate marketing may come with its set of doubts. I can tell you first hand, this is normal when starting out anything new.

If you focus vast potential of the online market, first getting traffic to your website through your content creation...and then matching products with a relevant audience, you can and WILL build a successful affiliate marketing business. Remember, the key is to stay persistent and leverage the immense opportunities available to you.

This is the process in a nutshell.

It is simple math. When you have more people online, spending more money (much of which is through affiliate programs), it means the opportunity online continue to grow.
