One of the best ways to make a reasonable amount of money online is affiliate marketing, but you have to do it in the correct way.

 

First of all, for any newbie that doesn't know what is affiliate marketing, read below how affiliate marketing works:

 

1. You register to an affiliate program of a company.

 

2. You get an affiliate link with a unique id

 

3. You can promote the affiliate products/services of the company with your unique affiliate link

 

4. Each time someone buys something using your affiliate link you earn a commission

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1: Choose The Most Profitable Affiliate Services

 

Three tips that I can give to help you choose the most profitable affiliate services to promote is to choose to promote services that reward you with a recurring commission, also to choose affiliate programs that are giving you the option to register tier affiliates, and affiliate programs that have longer cookies duration-expire period.

 

1. A recurring commission is when you will continue to receive a commission for a lifetime, for a customer that subscribes to a service using your affiliate link, as long as the

customer is a subscribed/paying customer. Recurring commissions only apply to services/products that have a subscription plan, not services/products that are a one-time payment.

Recurring commissions often apply to SaaS (Software as a Service) affiliate programs.

 

2. Another tip I can give you is to use an affiliate marketing program that has tier affiliates.

A tier affiliate is when you referred a person to an affiliate program, and you make an extra commission for each sale your tier affiliate makes.

You can find many tier affiliates that will make sales, so you will have passive income from them.

 

3. You receive your commission if someone buys something using your affiliate link in a specific time frame from the day that someone visits a website, each affiliate program has its own time frame.

This time frame is based on the cookie duration each affiliate program has, cookies are small blocks of data that are saved on each person's device when he/she visits a website.

If someone visits a website using your affiliate link, this person it’s tracked by the cookie that is saved on their devices, even if they visit a website again with the normal link of a website, and not your affiliate link in the given specific time frame you receive your commission.

If you choose to promote an affiliate program with a longer cookie duration-expire period that means that you can send a potential customer to a website with your affiliate link and even if he/she decides to buy something after a long time, you will still receive your commission.

 

As an entrepreneur, you must always try to create passive income you get the work done once and after you start generating money with no more actions that need to be done.

As Warren Buffett said 'If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die'.

 

Two affiliate programs that have some of these features are the Fiverr and Systeme affiliate programs.

 

1. Fiverr

 

I also suggest joining the Fiverr affiliate program.

The Fiverr sub-affiliate is called the Fiverr program for tier affiliates.

You get paid 10% of every referred affiliate’s earnings for a lifetime.

Fiverr cookies duration is 30 days for all Fiverr affiliate programs.

 

 

Some of the Fiverr Services you can promote as an affiliate.

 

1) Fiverr marketplace is the most well-known Fiverr service.

You can use Fiverr Marketplace to hire the cheapest freelancers for any kind of service.

Some of the services you can find are graphic design, SEO, social media marketing, website design, video creation/editing, and many more.

Fiverr marketplace has two commission plans, the CPA and the Hybrid, you can choose to promote which one suits you best, or you can promote both of them.

On the CPA commission plan, you get paid once $15 to $150 for first-time buyers (FTBs), depending on the category of the service, and on the Hybrid commission plan, you get paid $10 CPA, plus a 10% recurring revenue share, for purchases made within the first 12 months.

Fiverr only pays you a commission for first-time buyers.

If someone buys something from Fiverr using your affiliate link, but they already were a Fiverr customer in the past, you will not get paid a commission.

You can promote your CPA affiliate link to specific people that want to buy something once from a category with a well-paid commission if you need money fast, and you believe they will not be returning customers.

You can promote your Hybrid affiliate link to people you believe will purchase many services so you will get paid a commission for all the services they will purchase in the first 12 months.

When you register to the Fiverr affiliate program, you get access to both commission plans affiliate links, the CPA and the Hybrid.

 

2) Learn from Fiverr it’s an academy with courses related to freelancers (digital marketing, graphic design, website design, image, video editing, etc.).

(30% of every course order)

 

3) Fiverr Workspace is software for freelancers and small businesses, that is designed to streamline the time and expense tracking process with tools such as invoicing, contract creation, time tracking, expense tracking, payments, and more.

(50% of every unlimited plan)

 

4) Fiverr Business offer access to the same Fiverr marketplace, but with even more functionality and control.

For example, you can use the new interface to collaborate with your freelance team as a group and monitor the completion of your project with custom task lists.

($100 + 10% $100 CPA once the account reaches $100 in spend + 10% RevShare for 12 months)

 

 

5) The Fiverr sub-affiliate is called the Fiverr program for tier affiliates. You get paid 10% of every referred affiliate’s earnings for a lifetime.

 

2. Systeme

 

I suggest you join the Systeme affiliate program that has both recurring commissions and a lifetime tier affiliate program.

You must find the right customers that will continue to renew their subscription, and/or the right tier affiliates will make sales for you, and you start having passive income.

You are rewarded with 40% for each sale you make, and also 5% for each sale your tier affiliates make.

 

Systeme has a lifetime affiliation program, this means whenever someone visits the Systeme website using your affiliate link even if is 6 months or a year later you will still receive your commission.

Systeme uses a different kind of affiliate system than most companies, with no cookies duration-expire period, that can track someone for a lifetime.

 

Systeme is an all-in-one platform to help you launch, grow and scale your online business.

It includes tools for sales funnels, email marketing, online courses, website builders, affiliate program management, and marketing automation tools.

It has a free plan that may have limited features than the paid plans but the features you get in the free plan are more than enough to help you run an online business.

The free plans give you the option to create a sales funnel, create your own course, run your own affiliate program for your own products/services, create a blog, and many more.

Systeme Plans:

 

1. Free

 

2. Startup $27/month $228/year

 

3. Webinar $47/month $396/year

 

4. Unlimited $97/month $828/year

 

 

The Systeme affiliate program has both a recurring commission and a tier affiliate program for a lifetime.

You just find the right customers that will continue to renew their subscription, or ( and) the right tier affiliates they will make sales for you, and you start having passive income.

You reward 40% for each sale you make, and also 5% for each sale your tier affiliates make.

The way the affiliate program of Systeme works it's by creating a free or paid account so you can use Systeme to build/run your online business you register also automatic to the affiliate program of Systeme, no other registration is needed.

Once you log in you can add your payment details, you can choose to get paid by Paypal or by Wire transfer.

The last step is to find and copy your affiliate link on your affiliate dashboard and you can start promoting!

 

An extra benefit of Systeme is that it has a marketplace with affiliate products/services from 3rd party companies/creators you can promote with the same account.

 

There are products or services like courses or software, etc on different niches like marketing, finance, real estate, health, etc each of these products/services have different commissions and also some give you a tier affiliate commission.

If you have any products/services you can create a sales funnel and sell them through Systeme with a free or paid plan and also you can include them in the marketplace of Systeme.

You can include them in the marketplace of Systeme only if you offer an affiliate commission that you will choose, and also you can include a tier affiliate commission if you want that again you will choose the percentage.

Systeme has one of the most attractive and innovative affiliate programs in the market!

 

Chapter 2. Create A Blog For Free

 

One of the best ways to make money with affiliate marketing is to create a website/blog with original content, where you will promote affiliate products relevant to your website/blog niche.

Create also content about your affiliate products like reviews, articles, videos, etc

You must try using SEO, social media marketing, etc to bring as much traffic as you can to your affiliate website.

If you succeed to bring a lot of traffic to your website each month, your website will start generating money.

You can do it with other methods like creating a YouTube channel, a Facebook group, etc but if you create a blog you will have faster results, and you if you manage to make your blog have a lot of traffic each month you can leave it on the automatic pilot.

I mean no more actions are needed after some time, if you have a lot of traffic from Google, etc each month new visitors will find your blog and some of them will buy your affiliate products/services.

You must forget the recurring commission and the tier affiliates you will create after some time, you will receive also commission from them except for the new visitors that some of them can become buyers of your affiliate services or your tier affiliates.

 

You can create a blog for free with Systeme, in this way you can promote easier also Systeme because you will test Systeme and you speak about it from personal experience.

It will be easier to convince someone to buy/try for free Systeme.

 

The only expense that is not required but is recommended to do, is to buy a custom domain name for your blog.

If you have a custom name it will make you look more professional and it will give you SEO benefits on Google.

You can buy a custom name on any 3rd party domain name seller and connect it with your Systeme blog.

With the free plan of Systeme you allowed to create one website with a custom name

(blog, sales funnel, etc).

There is a different price range for each name but generally speaking, a domain name can cost you from $2-$20 per year, which is not a big amount and it's considered an investment for your online business.

 

Chapter 3. Ways to produce content for free for your affiliate business

 

1. Free Articles

 

You can use PLR (Private Label Rights) digital products (ebooks, articles, etc) in your blog.

PLR products are products that give you the right to rebrand them, sell them, give them for free, put your name on them, distribute them in different ways online, etc

Each PLR product gives you different rights, you can see the rights each product gives you in the license each PLR product has.

It's good to mention MRR (Master Resell Rights) products and RR (Resell Rights) products that give you similar but limited rights in compliance with PLR.

You can download for free or buy PLR content.

Paid PLR content often it's of better quality instead than free PLR content.

Remember in chapter 2 that I mention that is good to publish original content, so how you will do that if you just copy and paste PLR content that is already used by many people.

 

The solution to that is to rewrite some parts, to have the same meaning by using different words for example.

Also, you can include your own personal experience in your articles or you can enrich your articles with some business facts from Statista.

It's not good for Google SEO (Search Engine Optimization), if your content is not original, like PLR content that is already used by many people.

So it's better to use PLR content as a starting point, and try to personalize and customized your article as much as possible, because that will give you Goggle SEO benefits.

As original your content will be as better it will be for your SEO, use PLR content to create your own original content, not just copy and paste.

 

You can find PLR content on these websites:

 

1. PLR Database

2. PLR Free Online

3. Free Plr Downloads

4. Resell Rights Weekly

5. PLR

6. In Digital Works

7. Plr Mines

8. Buy Quality Plr

9. IDplr

10. My Resell Rights Products

 

2. Free Images

 

It's good to publish also visual content (images) with each article and also images will help you with your marketing strategy that I will mention in the last chapter.

You can create custom images you will use on your projects with Canva.

 

Canva is an online graphic design platform, that it's very useful for any online business owner

It helps you design any kind of images like banners, infographics, logos, or any kind of visual content, that you can use on your blog.

It's user-friendly, it works by drag and drop, and it has many templates you can choose from for any kind of design.

You can choose a template and customize it after you can download the final image and publish it on your blog.

The best of all is that you can use many of the templates/functions of Canva for free, if you want to use more templates/functions you can upgrade to the pro version, but for the average small business owner/ blogger the free version will be fine.

 

The second option for free images is to download royalty-free images.

 

Royalty-free images are images that give you the right to use them on your commercial or private projects.

Some pictures required attribution of the author to give you the right to use them some of them not.

Check the rights each image gives you before you use them.

On these websites you can download free royalty-free images:

 

1. Unsplash

2. FreeImages

3. Pexels

4. Pixabay

 

Paid options:

 

I know that this Blueprint is about how to create a profitable affiliate business for free, but there are some paid options to produce content that is worth mentioning.

Everyone's financial condition is different, and there are people who are able to invest some money in their business.

 

1. You can use AI ( Artificial Intelligence) Writing Software to produce articles or any kind of text.

The generic way an AI writing software works is by writing some keywords about what kind of article you want and the AI writing software creates an article/text for you.

As the first free option with the PLR products, you don't get SEO benefits for articles/content that is coming from an AI writing software.

It's wise to use AI writing software as a writing assistant and not to create your final article.

Don't copy-paste the article you get from an AI writing software but instead personalized and customized your article with your own personal experience or by adding some business facts

from Statista, rewriting some parts of the text, etc because in this way you will have Google SEO benefits.

 

If you want to try the AI writing software solution you can use Writesonic to create any kind of article/text/content.

 

2. You can hire a ghostwriter from Fiverr to write an article for you starting as cheap as $5.

A ghostwriter is someone that writes an article on demand for you and gives you all the copyrights.

You can present it as your own article or use it however your want.

You can also hire ghostwriters that have SEO skills, to write an article optimized for SEO according to your website niche/keywords.

 

One tip that you can use so you can check if the articles/content you buy from a ghostwriter on Fiverr are original, and the ghostwriter didn't buy them/copy them from another

source, or creates them but sold also the same articles that are sold to you to other customers is to use Copyscape.

Copyscape is one of the best tools that helps you check plagiarism for your articles/content, you can copy-paste your article and it will tell you if is original or is already

published somewhere else on the web.

Some of the ghostwriters on Fiverr offer you a Copyscape proof, they mention on their gig description that they will provide a Copyscape proof.

 

3. If you have some writing skills but your writing is not perfect you can write your own articles, and if you are worrying that your articles will have a lot of mistakes

(grammatical, etc) you can hire a proofreader/editor from Fiverr to correct your article.

Also if you are not a native English speaker and you don't have the skills to write an article in English but you are good at writing you can write the article in your native language

and to hire a translator from Fiver to translate it into English.

Some people can choose to create an affiliate business in their native language, this is a personal choice of everyone, but English is the international language, and with

a Blog/Online Business in English, you target a bigger and international audience.

Both Editor/Proofreader and translator can be found on Fiverr with prices from $5.

 

Chapter 4. Free Marketing Strategy to Gain Huge Amount Of Traffic On Your Blog

 

There are many digital marketing strategies someone can use to gain traffic on their website/blog like SEO, social media marketing, etc

If someone has some of these skills can use them and can combine them with the strategy I will mention.

I will mention this specific marketing strategy that can help someone gain a huge amount of traffic on their blog if is done correctly, and no other marketing strategies because the subject of this Blueprint is how to create an affiliate business, and not a digital marketing lesson.

This strategy is used by many affiliate marketers/ bloggers/ any kind of website or online business owners to gain traffic on their website.

 

You can use Quora to gain traffic to your website.

 

Quora is a QA (Questions and Answers) website, people ask questions on any niche and anyone that wants can answer them.

You can answer questions on Quora in order to gain traffic to your blog.

You can send people to your blog by adding the link of your blog to relevant questions, and also you can include your website in your profile description.

First of all, Quora doesn't allow posting affiliate links so you must send people to your blog article where you will add your affiliate links, second don't spam your website link in irrelevant questions, because you will be blocked or your answer will be deleted, the same will happen if you post your affiliate links.

If you create a new account Quora will not let you post your website, even in answers that will be relevant, it will consider it spam.

The way to change that is if you create a new Quora account and spend at least one month or even a little bit more, answering questions without posting your website in any answer and after you can start posting your link in some answers.

You can spend for example each day one hour of your time or even more, depending on your available time to answer questions on Quora.

After the one-month time period (it depends), you can post your link once a while, after once every 5 answers, etc, and after some time Quora can let you post your link every time, if the post is relevant, again don't spam because you will get blocked.

Your purpose if you create a new account is to build credibility on Quora, that's why if you answer questions and give valuable answers to people for at least one month Quora can trust you and let you post your link.

 

You can answer questions that are relevant to your niche, that in that case is affiliate marketing and our affiliate products Fiverr and Systeme.

For example, you can answer questions that are relevant to the affiliate marketing niche like any affiliate marketing question, online businesses, how to make money online, etc or questions that are relevant to Fiverr or Systeme like freelancers, blogs, sales funnels, etc questions.

When you create a new account, Quora will ask you to provide some information about your interest, etc, and will show you questions/content you can answer based on that.

You can use also the search bar of Quora to find relevant questions, you can make a combination of questions you will answer.

You can ask questions that are maid recently and questions that are more popular (more answers, interactions, views).

Also, you can search on Google search engine for questions, you can try to write some questions on the Google search engine related to affiliate marketing or with anything and you will see that some Quora answers will show up on the first page.

You can answer these questions, and in this way, you can gain traffic from Google except of Quora.

 

Spend some of your time creating a professional profile on Quora, add your credentials, good profile description, professional profile photo, etc

Also, you can become contributors on some Quora spaces, a space in Quora is similar to a Facebook group, if they accept you as a contributor in a space then you can share your own content there, also you can create your own space.

This means more exposure and credibility!

Now the most important part, is how to answer the questions, first of all, you must give valuable answers, your goal is to write a better answer than everyone else because in this way your answer will take more views/shares that will lead to more traffic to your blog.

If you want to answer a question but you are not sure if your answer is correct, you can research on Google for more information before you answer.

Format your question, for example, include bold text, bulleted or numbered lists, etc.

You can use any text editing software like Google Docs to format your answer and after you can copy and paste it on Quora.

Also include an image with each answer you give, you can use Canva to create some custom images, or you can download some royalty-free images from the websites mentioned above.

You can create some answer templates (text and images) that you can use each time to help you save time.

You can use Goggle Docs to create answer templates or any other software you want.

You can research on Quora the way some of the most popular answers are maid (format style, the image they used, etc,) and you copy the styles that are used on them.

An affiliate business or any other online business without traffic is worth nothing, without traffic no sales will be done.

If you invest some time to learn and use Quora correctly, it can skyrocket your affiliate business!

 

If you know any persons, that you believe will want an extra source of income you can send them this Blueprint!
