How I made my first affiliate sale (It’s easy than you think)

how i made my first affiliate sale

When I started this blog I never imagined in a million years that I would be able to make money through affiliate marketing so when I made my first affiliate sale I was so excited.

Am not good at sales, after campus I briefly worked as a sales agent for a telecommunication company and to cut the story short I was dismissed after 5 months for not hitting the minimum monthly number of sales I ought to.

Ouch!

As a new blogger, I continued to read more about how bloggers make money blogging, affiliate marketing kept popping in almost all articles and income reports I read.

Almost all bloggers were monetizing their websites through affiliate marketing, there I was still clueless. I didn’t know where to start.

I was not ready to give up. If other bloggers can do it, so can I.

I did so much research, read so many posts on the subject but still, nothing was happening.

The Affiliate Program Masterlist

The first step to make your first affiliate sale is to join high affiliate programs in your niche. It goes without saying that the higher the commission the more money you make.

This masterlist has more than 500+ affiliate programs which I consider a goldmine. One of the biggest mistakes that bloggers make is promoting the wrong product which means 0 sales and wasted time and energy.

Finding the right affiliate program can be challenging but with the list, it’s super easy. You will be able to find programs that are right for your audience. This masterlist will help you join affiliate programs that resonates with your audience.

I always promote products with atleast 35-50% commission rate because the higher the rate the more I stand to make.

At first pick and focus on at least 3 programs you don’t want to overwhelm yourself. I love the spreadsheet that comes with the list because it helps me keep track of the affiliate links in one place preventing any confusion that may occur in the future.

Read more about the masterlist here.

 

Affiliate marketing case studies

This is my absolute favorite. Reason being I like learning from other people experiences.

Especially when they are so open and honest.

That what Ana does. She shares her own strategy. What has worked and what hasn’t worked for her.

From personal experience, there is no better way to learn than through someone else’s story.

For example, she has included how she made $2500 in one week.

 

Private Facebook Community

 

I love Facebook groups. They are a perfect place to learn and connect with fellow bloggers.

Let me tell you, most bloggers are always will to help each one other out.

The cream of  Zero To Superhero Affiliate Marketing Bundle is that it comes with its own Facebook community. A place where you get accountability from fellow bloggers. From the community alone you get more affiliate marketing which has been tried and worked.

 

Testimonials

Don’t just take my word for it, read a few more testimonials here.

Will the course work for me if I don’t blog about blogging?

Yes, it will. Is perfect for any niche.

How do I drive traffic to the posts with affiliate posts?

One of the reasons most bloggers don’t get conversions is because they don’t know to promote their posts.

I love using Pinterest for that.

If I have a tutorial or a product review on my blog, I create graphics on Canva and I pin them to relevant group boards with relevant keywords directing them to the post. I sometimes also have a few pins which direct start to the product page.

That is just one of the way I drive traffic to my affiliate post but in the course, you will obviously learn more tricks and tips. Which makes it easier for you to make that first affiliate sale believe me.

Do I need a blog to make my first affiliate sale?

Good question.

Most people trying to figure out affiliate marketing always wonder whether they need a blog for affiliate marketing.

Yes and No.

No, because you can make through money affiliate marketing without a blog using platforms such as Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and many more.

Yes because a blog will give you more credibility especially if you are applying for affiliate programs it will give you more points and you will be accepted easily. You will also make more money from your blog.
