Affiliate Marketing Secrets – A 5-secret Guide for Beginners!

Last Updated on March 13, 2024 by Jeremy

We all have secrets up our sleeves at some point, and some will always stay that way. Take magicians for example, many of the best performed magic tricks to this date have never been revealed. The same can be said for many activities performed in life, and affiliate marketing is one of them.

Until now! I am going to give you an inside look, a behind the scenes approach, of affiliate marketing secrets that many people are refusing to let go of. These secrets will either help you begin, or help you be further involved within affiliate marketing, taking you from knowing what you know now, to knowing a heck of a lot more.

For starters, there are many proven methods in the online world, where seekers and searchers galore are looking for that extra-income, or another side-hustle. Many people choose real-time jobs such as chat-operators, while others choose more sophisticated lines of work, like freelancing.

The fact is, there is no better online job out there than Affiliate Marketing, and the number 1 secret I’m going to give you right now, is that Wealthy Affiliate is the number 1 platform that can back that statement up!

GETTING STARTED

The first and foremost thing to do if you are just beginning as an affiliate marketer is pick a niche. A niche is your primary step in affiliate marketing as this will be the relatable topic you will create content around for the entirety of your future.

Once your niche has been created you are going to start thinking of topics and articles to write about, promote, or give reviews on. A golden ticket of Intel right here is without a niche, you have nothing to write about. After you have picked a niche, and thought about some topics, you are going to want to create a website.

By reading this article here: How to create a website and make money – A Behind the scenes 1st glance, from a Full-Time RVers P.O.V. you will be informed on what a niche is, and what your next steps in the process are going to be. In the event you want to skip reading this article for right now, basically, you’ll be building yourself a website to generate your affiliate skills.

As an example, I will show you a website I have created called Everything Nature and More:

In the above example, my niche chosen is Nature. This idea is something that resonates and will be showcasing many ideas within the topic. Note already 1 article that is titled “What’s Hemp Used For?…” is a topic written about hemp, and how it’s one of natures most over-looked plants, but has benefits somewhat better than trees.

This niche idea will essentially obtain created content, that may or may not have the potential to access an affiliate link.

HERE COME THE SECRETS

Now this is where creativity comes to mind. In order to get that content created you first need a solid Keyword. Secret Number 2 is all about Keyword searches. There are many SEO tools out there that can be utilized for affiliate marketers but none of them compare to a platform called Jaaxy.

Punching your keyword into Jaaxy, will give you results that you can create your content around in order to write that article which will help you obtain the best rank possible in search engines. Of course, to better understand the knowledge of this platform, you should read this article here: What is a Keyword Search Tool? – My Jaaxy Enterprise Review and why it’s Powerful!

Once you have your keyword, and once you have written your article, you are now geared to publish your content to your website. At this stage, Google and other search engines will in time recognize the value of the content and potentially get you recognized within the top page.

And here is where secret #3 comes into play. Creating your content, so that it has intent!

INTENTIONS

By view of the video below, you will recognize the purpose of why having this secret, will be able to get your customer base driven towards your website.

In having a structured website, you will also learn that over time you can then gear other articles to incorporate affiliate links, but not have your website strictly affiliate linked.

By this, and in the form of a couple of questions, I want to share with you a story, and also, secret number 4:

1. Lets say you are desperate and you are trying so hard to make a few dollars. You Google search affiliate marketing, and come across a platform that allows you to join for free. You join and start spamming social networks a bunch of links, and to your surprise, NO-ONE buys or purchases, let alone clicks on any of the links. Would you say you are an affiliate marketer? – This has happened and is NOT the correct way to approach affiliate marketing. Joining Wealthy Affiliate would be the better option!
2. You have your website up and running, you have 1 month of content, you’ve followed the training from Wealthy Affiliate as a beginner, and you are ranking on Googles 4th page. How do you get noticed quicker? – This is a common question and is also NOT the correct way to approach affiliate marketing.

Therefore, secret number 4 is to take your time, build your foundation, and don’t rush. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, so why are you rushing?

YES, you can obtain affiliate partner links at this stage, and even start creating content reflecting these links with the niche being your primary focus.

See here by this example on my Nature page, that there’s a subtle affiliate link on one of my posts related to composting:

The intentions are that I am informing my customers, or you the viewers, that composting has benefits in nature, as well, I’m offering those that seem interested an option to build their own Greenhouse, so they can utilize their compost materials inside the greenhouse plants, or whatever the purpose they might find alternatively.

FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

Now whether you are an affiliate marketer or not, there is no reason not to consider it, and the secrets mentioned thus far are only the beginning.

To recap:

• ~Secret 1 = Review my Wealthy Affiliate article and sign up. Once inside, look me up, and I’ll be sure to mentor you to success!
• ~Secret 2 = Create a Keyword that has Great potential to get you ranked on Google, by using Jaaxy.
• ~Secret 3 = After your website has been built, create content with intent.
• ~Secret 4 = Obtain Affiliate Links, but don’t rush to insert them. Only do so when necessary, particularly in a product review 😉

And last but not least, Secret 5…

• ~Stay motivated, stay determined, and most of all, HAVE PATIENCE!

The earnings will flow naturally after a few months time. And potentially, you have the capabilities of earning between 4 and 6 figures per month. I don’t know of any other jobs out there that would let you earn that kind of income, but there are definitely other jobs, if affiliate marketing isn’t what you seek.

Now before I close, I want to reiterate how Wealthy Affiliate can drastically change your life, beginner affiliate marketer or not. I know it has for me, and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have if your having second thoughts.
