How to win as an affiliate promoter

What is Affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is simply referring people to check out particular products and when they make purchases as a result of your referrals, you earn commissions on the products.
Many people are interested in Affiliate promotions but do not know how to go about it. Here are the fundamentals of becoming a seasoned Affiliate marketer.
1. Set up your blog/website and identify with a niche you are very passionate about. Setting up a blog takes nothing because there are several free hosting domains such as blogger, wordpress, joomla, drupal e.t.c to get started with. But to be more professional, purchasing a hosted domain isn't a bad idea.

2. Register with an Affiliate program. There are quite a number of them like Amazon, Ebay, Commission junction, Clickbank, Shareasale, Ejunkie e.t.c as foreign Affiliate programs and Jumia, Konga, Dealdey, Kaymu, Jiji e.t.c as Nigerian Affiliate programs.

3. Select your referral products. Mind you, products must be related to your blog/website niche.

4. Generate banners or link codes for the products and paste it on your blog/website life page.

5. Make reviews of the products on your blog/website. Give a concise description of the products,
advantages of purchasing and using the products, testimonies of your very self using the product as well as your relationship with the companies of manufacture. That gives would be buyers the confidence to check out the products by clicking on the banners or links.

6. Continue to promote your reviews of the products on social media network platforms like facebook, twitter, linkedin, instagram, tagged e.t.c to attract buyers until you make sales. Most times, potential customers you meet on social media networks do not know what to do. So, you have to tell them what to do. Therefore, your product review must carry affiliate links like: click here to buy, buy now etc.

7. Earn commissions whenever sales are made on the products when quality visitors are referred to the products through the banners or links. Commissions are strictly base on purchases made on the products by the visitors.
It is worth noting that success with Affiliate marketing depends on the choice of products for referrals and the amount of compensations the companies are willing to pay as commissions. So always select products with high market demands from companies with good Affiliate marketing track record partnership.
