Passive Income Challenge Day 5.
Affiliate Marketing
Passive income is a very important way to add income to your bottom line. It doesn’t matter what type of business you own now. You can add affiliate income. Affiliate income is a critical way to make money. It’s not a scam, and it’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s a legitimate way to earn money recommending products that you use and that you know your audience will want to use, too.
Affiliate income is also a very lucrative way to earn money. Business owners can add unlimited income to their books by using affiliate programs, so they can earn for recommending. It consists of recommending products, services, and opportunities to an audience using a special link.
The special link tracks who provided the link, who clicked on the link, and what happened after the click. If someone clicks the affiliate link you provide and then they make a purchase, you will get a percentage of that sale – called a commission.
Usually, the commission is paid via your PayPal account or via Stripe to your bank account depending upon the business or platform you’re working with. You’ll be responsible for paying taxes on the income you earn via affiliate marketing so keep track of it.
Affiliate marketing is a very lucrative career opportunity. If you can recommend enough products, services, and opportunities to the right audience, you can make more than a full-time job doing it. It can add a new income stream to your income-producing activities, regardless of what you do for your main source of income right now.
To become an affiliate, you simply need to find the product websites and look for terms such as referral program, affiliate program, or partner program. If you cannot find that on their website, try doing a search for “product name affiliate program” and you may find it that way. If you still cannot find it, email them to ask them if they have an affiliate or referral program and if so, how do you sign up.
To promote the affiliate products, you will want to email your audience about the product, giving information about why they need it. You will want to write a blog post about it, add it to your recommended resources page, and promote the products on social media when allowed. You can also add the affiliate link anytime you mention the product or the type of product in other posts and content too.
The reason affiliate marketing is considered passive income is that you do the work once, and you can get paid multiple times. You write a blog post once, send an email once, and promote them both on social media multiple times, people click the link six months from now and buy and you’ll make money. In fact, if 100 people buy from that blog post, you’ll keep earning money. That’s why affiliate programs are so lucrative – if you can find the right ones that your audience needs, wants, and will buy.
