What Is Affiliate Marketing About Really?
When we research and start doing affiliate marketing, much of our focus naturally is on making it work for us so we can make money. Of course, that is the end goal and motivation for just about all marketers, but that aim is hardly the secret to affiliate marketing success
What Is Affiliate Marketing About? Really About?
The picture holds the clue.
It's about helping people.
As Kyle often states in the training here at Wealthy Affiliate, our goal is to help people first and foremost and the money will be a natural result of that. How do we help people?
- Identify and problem and offer a solution
- Give readers free quality content
- Advise them on a purchase decision with an honest product review
- Offer encouragement and inspiration
- Through tips and advice
- Being genuine and believable
There are numerous ways we can help our readers as marketers. Big business is successful because it fulfils certain needs. Goods and services often fulfil a need or provide a solution to a problem. Not always, as there are things we buy just for fun, but if you help someone solve a problem and are genuine about it, this will invariably lead to you making money.
And if you are ever considering creating your own product, if you can identify a need or a problem, find a gap in the market to provide a solution to that problem, you could end up very rich!
As affiliate marketers, if we place our focus on helping people in any way we can, we build a fan base, gain credibility and trust, and this in turn will lead to sales and referrals and an increasing bank balance.
Help first, make money second is really how this business works.

Good morning and thanks for the post ,
Absolutely agree with it, money comes and goes , no matter how much you make , to have the money, we got to make sure why do we need it , is it only for our greed? Or we do really need to work and help other with it ? If we can manage and use it toward others that's great.
I would rather to help others and make a good memories while This life is a temporary and life is much shorter of what we imagine, so make your best of it by helping and creating them.
Money will come as you are helping others .
