Affiliate marketing has been proven to be one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money online. Easy and fast because you don’t need to have your products and also because you want to promote products that are already selling in the market. However, the real test is whether you will be in a position to create a sustainable business by promoting other people’s products. In this article, I want to show you how to achieve a four or five-figure income through the best affiliate program in Malaysia.
Establish an affiliate program
Usually, by working with your affiliate marketing business mentor, you will already have set in motion the process of establishing the right affiliate program for you. These affiliate programs can be free to start with or cost thousands of dollars. At least when you start with a free program. What you can only lose is your time. So don’t start with an affiliate program that is way above your budget. Free affiliate programs are only free up to the point where you feel that you have learned enough.
Look for a business mentor
The first thing you need to do is to look for a business mentor. To be successful with affiliate marketing business, you need someone to hold your hand and walk you through the tough times and good times. Finding the right mentor can be time consuming and expensive. Some will even charge you thousands of dollars for a short time.
For me, Stone Evans was the perfect guy. Already an accomplished affiliate marketer, he immediately slashed two years off my learning curve. Within a few weeks of starting internet marketing, I was in the path of bagging my very first dollars. It would help if you were comfortable with your mentor, and he/she will guide you seamlessly through the many pitfalls associated with affiliate marketing. You will also be advised on what products to purchase to help you move faster.
Create a business plan
Just like in offline marketing, you need to be clear on where your business is going. Write down realistic goals and have a plan to follow these goals. A good affiliate marketing mentor should help you create a business plan that outlines such things as budget, revenue objective and time required to meet your overall strategy as well as whether you want to be in the affiliate marketing business on a part-time or a full-time basis
The programs also recommend paid-up services
An example is the affiliate program that I started with, though free to join had a precondition of buying hosting space. As such, it recommended one of the best hosting packages available at an introductory price of $1.00 for the first month. So by the time, I got to pay out for the “real price” of the hosting, I was already generating enough revenue from the program
Finally, stick to your affiliate program and make it work
The secret to success is to focus on one thing and don’t quit. By implementing the tactics that you have learned from your affiliate program, you already are nine miles into your journey of ten miles.
