Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make money but you need a strategy to be successful - don't just wing it.

Here's how it should look:

Year 1

The first year you're just tying to build up your organic search traffic and earning money with free traffic.

This includes various best of posts, reviews, vs. articles and Youtube.

This should easily keep you busy for a year and honestly for multiple years.

If you choose the right niche organic traffic can make you anywhere from $3000 to $10,000+.

Year 2

This is when you start looking at ad networks (Adsense, Mediavine, etc.) and thinking about hiring a writer.

I wouldn't worry about a writer or ads until you're making at least $1000 a month.

Ads can make you $2000+ if you have good traffic.

Year 3

This would be a good time to hire even more writers and start paid traffic. You can make serious money with paid traffic and some make 6 figures a year doing it.

You want revenue coming in before hand, though. Paid traffic takes time to learn and you're going to lose money in the beginning.

Going Beyond

Once you're making money, running ads, hiring writers there's so much you can do.

You can create a new site in a new niche using the same tactics, you can make your own product, you can sell your website for big profits and more.

There's people out there selling affiliate sites that do product reviews for multiple millions.

Here's the thing, though, YOU HAVE TO STICK WITH IT.

There's a lot of people that fail who quit before a year. There's not many failures that stick with it for multiple years.

Eventually you'll catch on and make money. If you're willing to try, learn and keep with it you'll find success.

I'm proof of this.

I went 18 months without making a dollar but I didn't quit. I learned and kept trying new things.

Eventually I figured things out and can make profitable websites now.

The thing is I'm not even close to learning everything. I only consider myself to be an intermediate to be honest.

I can't even imagine where I'll be in 10 years. I guarantee I'm making more than I am now and I guarantee I've learned a lot in that time.

That's the kind of thinking you need to have.

You don't make money in the first 6 months? No big deal if you've committed fully to affiliate marketing because in 5 years you will a expert.

In 10 years you will be a master.

Affiliate marketing has the potential to change your life. There's people making millions!

They aren't different than you or I. They just stuck with and found a way that worked. You can too!
