Affiliate marketing is one way to make money online for those who want to derive an income from their web use. An affiliate marketer promotes specific products or websites in exchange for a cut of the profits or commissions from the web traffic she generates. Any time the recommendation/web traffic from an internet affiliate leads to a sale, the affiliate earns money. In other words, the products or services are provided by others, while you provide a sales or marketing outlet. While there are no successful get-rich-quick schemes, many people have found success doing internet marketing as an affiliate. Learning how to work as a successful affiliate marketer can help you determine whether a career in this potentially lucrative field might be right for you.
Breaking Into Affiliate Marketing
Decide on a business model. There are two primary business models that prospective affiliate marketers choose between. The first is a resource site, and the second is a review site. Which model you choose will depend on your familiarity with the products or services you advertise.[1]
Resource sites typically embed a merchant partner's website in an affiliate link or banner advertisement within how-to articles and posts. This business model requires frequent updates and fresh content to ensure that customers return to the marketer's website on a regular basis.[2]
Review sites feature reviews of products/services that the marketer has tried and can attest for. Each product/service review includes a link or banner ad that will take customers to the merchant partner's website. The advantage of review sites is that they require less frequent updates. Marketers simply have to make minor tweaks to their websites to ensure that search engines continue to list the website in their search results.[3]
2
Create a website. In order to work as an affiliate marketer, you'll need your own platform (a personal website or blog) on which to post links and advertise for your chosen products or services. If you already have a website or blog, you can use that platform to begin earning additional income as an affiliate marketer. If you do not yet have a website or blog, you will need to create one, or you can use already existing blogs or websites that allow you to submit your posts.
The advantage of a blog, such as Blogger, is that it's free to operate, whereas some websites require a fee to operate. However, sites like GoDaddy.com and Hostgator offer website services that are relatively inexpensive to operate, and may look more professional than a personal blog.[4]
Consider joining up with an affiliated marketing company. One easy way to enter the field of affiliate marketing is to join a company that specializes in online marketing. Though you'll ultimately work independently, companies like MoreNiche allow aspiring affiliate marketers to join for free to have a platform for advertising products/services.[5]
Some websites allow you to engage in pay-per-click affiliate marketing without running your own website or blog. Direct links through outside merchant websites allow you to create and make money off of ads without having to post them to your own website. For instance, you might make an ad for a dating website and advertise on Facebook; when someone clicks on your ad, they go straight to the dating site, instead of a website or landing page you have created. Some affiliate networks that specialize in direct linking include Associate Programs, Affiliates Directory, E-commerce Guide, and Link Share.[6]
3
Select a niche. Most affiliate marketers choose a niche, or area of specialization. Before you begin marketing products or services, you'll need to find an area you can easily work within to advertise.[7]
Your niche doesn't necessarily need to be an area you're already an expert in. You can also choose a specialized area which you're enthusiastic or interested in learning more about.Think of Oprah, she doesn't market herself as an expert, but she frequently brings other experts on her show. You can do the same in your niche, by giving other experts a platform to promote themselves in exchange for content creation.[8]
The initial startup work can be very intensive, so it's important to choose a niche in which you won't mind working for prolonged periods. This can help set you up for success as you get your new career off the ground.[9]
4
Choose products and services. Once you've chosen a niche in which to work, you're ready to start finding products and services to promote on your platform. The products/services you choose to promote, as well as how much work you'll have to put in, will vary depending on your chosen niche.[10]
A company like Commission Junction is ideal for marketers who want to promote more traditional products/services. Commission Junction is involved in a diverse range of potential advertising opportunities, which may be ideal for newcomers to the field who haven't narrowed down their niche yet.[11]
Marketers interested in digital content, like e-books and software, may enjoy working with companies like Amazon, Clickbank, E-junkie, and PayDotCom.[12]
Pay-per-click (PPC) marketing models like Google AdSense may appeal to some marketers. PPC models pay considerably less than other marketing models, but the advantage is that they require less active work of the marketer. The marketer's pay is determined by how much web traffic is directed to the target site.[13]
5
Find and work with affiliates. Affiliates will help grow your business and help you tap into web traffic. There are many ways to meet and engage with affiliates, but the best way to access desirable affiliates is by building a reputation for yourself. You can do this by developing a popular blog or otherwise earning a large online following, or by becoming a published author of a book or article.[14] There are other ways of meeting affiliates, of course, and each method will vary in its success and required effort. Generally speaking, the basic course of action for acquiring affiliates typically involves one of the following methods:
Emailing or otherwise contacting other bloggers and online marketers who share a common niche and asking them to either promote your product, or engaging in a mutually-beneficial cross-promotion wherein both you and the other blogger promote one another's products[15]
Finding successful affiliates online, either through forums, mutual contacts, or affiliate networks (such as Clickbank or Commission Junction) that you can join online[16]
6
Drive traffic to your affiliate program. Once you've built a popular platform and secured affiliates to work with, you'll need to drive traffic to your affiliate program. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, but one of the easiest and most successful methods involves writing a blog post or web article and using your email newsletter to invite your subscribers to join the affiliate program of your choosing.[17] Other methods include:
Giving away free content to other websites (which may drive traffic to your links)[18]
Using viral marketing, like a link at the end of newsletters that allows readers to pass the newsletter on to other readers quickly and easily[19]
Securing free links on websites that already drive a lot of traffic[20]
Developing Your Business
1
Study and learn from other affiliates. A quick and easy way to gain experience and familiarity as an affiliate marketer is by joining an online community or forum. These online resources are free to join and can offer invaluable advice to marketers at all experience levels.[21]
Digital Point, aBestWeb, and Warrior Forum are excellent and free resources for affiliate marketers. In addition to advice from more experienced marketers, these forums also offer networking opportunities to connect with other marketers.[22]
2
Build relationships. Affiliate marketing takes a lot of work and patience before any real money is made. Affiliate marketing programs drive traffic to the affiliate marketer's website, but the marketer is responsible for building lasting professional relationships with the affiliate partners out of that web traffic. The marketer must also continually seek out better partnerships with other affiliates.[23]
Learn how your affiliate partners prefer to communicate. Every partner will have a different work schedule and communication preferences, and it falls on you to respect those preferences.[24]
Know what your affiliates need and expect from you.[25]
Brainstorm new ideas to pitch to your affiliates. You should do a substantial amount of research on your affiliates' websites, and know how they can improve their websites and services.[26]
Seek feedback from your affiliates on how you can improve your own platform.[27]
3
Attract targeted traffic. It's not enough to get people to visit your website or blog. In order to generate money from your marketing platform, you'll need to get people to click your affiliates' links.[28] There are four primary methods of attracting potential customers:
Paid advertising — this method requires an effective combination of ad copy, graphics, and a highly-clickable link.[29] Unlike more traditional affiliate marketing strategies, paid advertising (through pay-per-click ads) earn you money regardless of whether a reader buys the product or not. Services like Google's AdSense make this quick and easy for you, and can even supply you with an advertising code.
Free advertising — this method involves placing links and advertisements on free websites, like Craigslist or US Free Ads. Whenever someone clicks on your ad, both you and the website (for example, Craigslist) earn money from the clicks.[30]
Article marketing — this method seeks to gain a higher ranking in search engine results by establishing the marketer as a credible source that won't use spam software.[31] Many marketers use websites like Ezine Articles to publish articles that contain a unique "resource box," and as other bloggers and website managers republish the article (with the resource box intact), the marketer who published the original article gradually earns higher search engine rankings.[32]
Email marketing — in this method, marketers embed an email subscription option for website visitors. This allows the marketer to acquire a site visitor's name and email address, which can help build a lasting relationship and expose the visitor to the marketer's newsletter.[33]
4
Write a pay-per-click ad. Pay-per-click (PPC) advertisements are the bread and butter of affiliate marketing, but how well you craft your ad could be the difference between success and failure. A strong PPC ad should:
Address a specific problem that consumers might be facing, and call attention to a solution or benefit that the product offers[34]
Use a strong and specific keyword that will help drive traffic (for help choosing appropriate keywords, use Google's free AdWords Keyword Tool)[35]
Reflect the keywords used on the primary "landing" (linked-to) page[36]
Work in an imperative or call to action to gently urge consumers to click through your link[37]
5
Aim for quality over quantity. Having a vast network of affiliates will not necessarily help you earn more money. According to some experts, the key to successful affiliate marketing is to find the right affiliates that will drive the most results for your platform. Those affiliates may be big sites, small sites, or a combination of the two, but the most important thing is to build and maintain strong relationships with your chosen affiliates. [38] Once you have found quality affiliates, it is important to stay consistent. So make sure to find that quality product or service to market, and set a goal of how many affiliates you would like to advertise per day. Once you have set this goal, make sure to stick to it and stay consistent.
Knowing What to Expect
1
Expect a lot of hard work. Many people breaking into affiliate marketing expect to get rich quick. However, it takes a lot of work to get your affiliate marketing business off the ground, especially in the early stages. Some marketers work 12 hours each day, seven days a week as they try to launch and develop their platforms.[39]
Keep in mind the field is very competitive and many marketing companies are run by professional marketers or large companies cable of spending large sums to attract traffic.
2
Learn how it works. An affiliate marketer embeds her own unique affiliate link in her web page or blog. This link does not have any impact on customers, and it does not alter the price of any products/services being offered by affiliates. However, any time the customer makes a purchase after clicking an affiliate link within a specified time frame, the marketer gets a commission from that sale. How much you earn will depend on each affiliate's prices, commission percentages, and the number of sales you're able to initiate on a weekly or monthly basis.[40]
3
Understand your demographics. Every affiliate will have their own target demographic. As the affiliate marketer, it's your job to understand your affiliates' demographics, and tailor your advertisements or reviews in such a way that that target demographic will be reached through your platform. Knowing, for example, the target demographic's age, interests, and average income range, will help you tailor your reviews and advertisements to that demographic.[41]

How Fast Can You Make Money with Affiliate Marketing?
There are countless ways to make money online. But for most beginners, affiliate marketing seems to be one of the most lucrative ways to start creating a consistent, reliable income.
For most aspiring affiliates, the biggest question on their mind is, “How long will it take to start making money with affiliate marketing?”
The answer to that question is: It depends.
The majority of well-made affiliate sites see their first affiliate income within the first six months, but while some affiliates make money from day one, others go months and even a year or two before they make their first sale.
It all depends on a variety of factors that we’ll dive into below.
If you're looking to create a new income stream or generate passive income, read on to discover what affiliate marketing is, how it works, and how fast you can start making money with it.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is an arrangement in which a retailer pays a commission to an outside company or individual who generates traffic or sales by promoting the retailer’s products or services.
This means that as an affiliate marketer, you can earn money each time your recommendation of a product or service results in a sale.
In fact, when done right, affiliate marketing can even be a fantastic source of passive income.
You don’t have to create your own product and customer service is out of your hands, for the most part, which means reducing a lot of variable expenses that come from creating a new widget or hiring customer services representatives.
The image below shows a simplified version of how affiliate marketing works:
Affiliate marketing is one of several monetization methods that you can use on a website, social media, email, and various other digital channels.
Here are the different ways to make money from affiliate marketing:
Blogging
Social media
Microsites
Digital billboards
Email newsletters
Video marketing
Podcasts
Webinars
Forums/Groups
Google Ads
…and anywhere else you’re allowed to share links.
Whichever way you choose, affiliate marketing works in pretty much the same way whereby a publisher (that's you) partners with an advertiser/merchant to promote their products or services to their audience.
When customers buy from the advertiser, the affiliate gets paid a commission for their efforts. Payouts are made once the minimum payment threshold is reached.
With this business model, everyone wins!
The customer gets a quality product;
The merchant makes a sale that they may not have made otherwise; and
You get paid for recommending a product that enhances your reader's life.
How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
Affiliate marketing works in a very simple way. First, you need to find an affiliate network or program that you are interested in. Affiliate networks include sites like Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction, etc.
There are a few important factors you should consider before making a choice, such as the types of products or services on offer, commissions, and payment methods (PayPal, check, bank transfer, etc.)
As an affiliate, you have the option of working with individual companies or networks where there are multiple affiliate programs to choose from. You can find and connect individuals as well who will help you with your campaign.
A great example of this is Amazon's affiliate program, Amazon Associates, which helps content creators and publishers monetize the traffic with millions of different products.
The image below shows how simple it is to get started as an Amazon affiliate:
Source: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/
If Amazon doesn’t fit your particular needs, conduct a quick search to find affiliate networks or companies in your niche.
Once you’ve found an appealing network or program, sign up as an affiliate, and after you’ve been approved, you can start creating content around the products or services you want to promote.
Add the custom affiliate links provided by the program throughout your content, and these will keep track of any users who make a purchase through your link so you can be paid your commission.
Although you can use any affiliate network you want, many beginners find it easier to use Amazon when starting out as affiliates.
There are many reasons for this:
First, it's extremely easy to sign up as an Amazon affiliate. Within minutes you can start using your affiliate link to promote their products on your website, email, or social media.
Amazon Associates works for any niche thanks to the platform's huge and diverse catalog of products divided into categories to make selection easier.
Also, Amazon is a well-known, established retailer that is trusted by many users, which means you'll experience higher conversion rates.
Finally, there's no friction to buying on Amazon and customers receive their products quickly.
Examples of Successful Amazon Affiliate Websites
Statistics from different sources online show that affiliate marketers earn amounts from one end of the income spectrum to the other.
According to PayScale, the average annual income for affiliate marketers is $52,750, with the bottom 10% earning $39,000, and the top 10% earning upwards of $73,000.
According to Glassdoor, affiliate earnings are even higher, at $89,169/year, with incomes ranging from $42,000 to $83,000.
ZipRecruiter’s forecast for potential affiliate earnings is the highest, with estimates at $154,000/year average income, ranging between $11,000 and $401,500 per year.
Source:https://www.ziprecruiter.co.uk/
My own research shows that Amazon affiliates make on average between $100 and $20,000 per month selling products from this retailer.
Of course, there are some who make nothing at all, and others who make six figures from Amazon and other passive income affiliate programs.
To calculate how much you could make as an affiliate, you have to take the following variables into account:
How much traffic your site can expect
Your traffic sources (Google search, Paid Ads, social media, etc.)
How many visitors will click on your affiliate links
How many of those people will actually make a purchase
How much each customer will spend on average
What the commission rate is for the product
On Amazon, commission rates differ according to the type of product category.
Here are a few examples of successful Amazon affiliates to give you a better idea of what the typical monthly income for affiliate marketers is.
Example #1: ThisIsWhyImBroke.com ($20,000+ per month)
Source:https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/
According to a case study from NicheHacks, this website (which is known as the internet’s mall), makes an estimated $20,000+ per month from Amazon.
This is not surprising when you consider how effectively the website puts together the coolest tech, gadgets, gifts, and oddities from Amazon that people love to buy and then presents them in a fun and engaging way on the website.
When visitors click on any of these products, the affiliate link takes them to the Amazon store and if they make a purchase, the site receives a commission.
Example #2: Income School ($147k in 12 months).
Source:https://incomeschool.com/how-much-amazon-associates-earn/
This blog owner has been blogging full-time for the past five years and has amassed a network of blogs that earned almost $150,000 from Amazon in the past year.
The blogs are in many different niches, including photography, boating, knife reviews, campers, tool review, etc., and all the products they promote can be found on Amazon.
Example #3: Side Hustle Nation ($10-15,000/month).
Source: https://www.sidehustlenation.com/
This site is eight years in the making, and now makes an income of between 10 and $15,000 each month from the Amazon Associates program.
Most of its earnings come from touting Amazon products in blog posts and podcasts, and including affiliate links in blog posts and other content online.
When the website’s audience buys the products through the Amazon affiliate link, the site earns commissions on the sales.
How Affiliate Marketing Works For Me
In 2014, I started my web business, which mostly consisted of creating websites and experimenting with different monetization methods. Since my earliest days, I’ve tracked my income reports to bring transparency into the industry and show everyone exactly how much I make, how much I spend, and the overall trends.
It wasn’t until 2017 that I began seeing any revenue from affiliate marketing. Before then, display ads, the sale of digital assets, and content creation were my primary means of income. And as you can see, even when I started bringing in affiliate income, it wasn’t all that much:
Yep, just $1.08.
But jump ahead a few years to April 2022:
In this month, I earned $13,582 from affiliate marketing across 6 websites that I own. However,
Over 92% of those earnings came from my main site which I’ve personally branded the “One Hour Professor.”
The other 5 sites didn’t really bring in that much affiliate income. The lowest brought in only $7 while the highest after OHP only brought in $378.
The reason for this is that while those other 5 sites all passively generate afiliate income, I actively work on OHP and run it like a business with a team I’ve built from the ground up.
And that’s the key: affiliate marketing can become a great source of passive income but to really make money doing it, you have to treat it like a business because it is a business.
It’s also worth noting that affiliate marketing is just one revenue channel that I use as part of my business. If you take a look below, you’ll notice that my total earning in April 2022 was $35,514:
Source:https://onehourprofessor.com/income-reports/
This means affiliate marketing constituted of about 38% of my total earnings while display ads, business consulting services, sales of branded content on online course platforms, and YouTube together constitute the majority of my earnings.
My advice is to always experiment with different monetization methods on all of the sites you own. While you may think affiliate marketing is the most lucrative, the particular target audience may be more likely to click on display ads and might even find affiliate links off-putting or too “salesy.”
By experimenting with different on-site monetization methods and off-site revenue channels, you’ll be able to find the best way to make the most money with your particular suite of digital assets, brand, and target audiences.
For example, while I create all of own online courses, I have considered experimenting with PLR courses, which means I would buy the course instead of creating my own and then have life-time rights to it.
So far, I haven’t found any that would make it worth the initial investment, but by thinking this way, you’re sure to always discover new ways to make money with a web business from affiliate marketing to display to selling third-party digital assets you’ve purchased the rights to.
At the end of the day, there’s a way for just about everyone to make at least a little extra money online.
Bottom Line: How Fast Can You Make Money with Affiliate Marketing?
As a rule of thumb, affiliates can expect to start earning consistent commissions within 6 - 12 months - depending, of course, on the variables discussed earlier.
Take a look at how long it took these affiliates to make their first sale:
1. Lauren Wittry from Becoming WellThy.com
Blog Start Date: September 2016
First Sale: Same month
Amount: $13.50
Affiliate Network: ShareaSale
2. Sireesha Narumanchi from CrowdWorkNews.com

4. Debbie Gartner from TheFlooringGirl.com
Blog Start Date: 2011
First Sale: January 2016 (4.5 years later!)

As you can see, different affiliates make money at different rates.
Affiliate Marketing Challenges and How to Overcome Them
By now, you’ve seen that there are many other benefits to affiliate marketing:
Affiliate marketing has a low barrier to entry - it’s easy and free to start.
It’s a business model you can scale easily.
It provides passive income potential which means more freedom for you.
It’s a rapidly growing industry with ever-expanding opportunities.
The best thing about affiliate marketing is that it can help you create a source of passive income. If you've ever read Tim Ferriss’ The Four-Hour Workweek, then you know about the dream of making money while you sleep - affiliate marketing can help you make that dream a reality.
But, it also comes with a set of challenges that you need to be aware of before you decide whether or not affiliate marketing is the right business model for you.
Here are some of the more prominent challenges affiliates face:
Making a full-time income can take time.
You need a lot of traffic to make a substantial income.
You have no control over the product/service you’re recommending to your audience, which means the customer experience is out of your hands.
There’s high competition in the most profitable affiliate marketing niches.
Your monthly income isn’t fixed, and commissions can get slashed at any time.
There’s a risk of link hi-jacking where unscrupulous people may steal your commissions.
So, how do you overcome these challenges?
By providing a seamless user experience. Although conversion is your ultimate goal, you need to ensure that you create your site using a website builder best designed to offer a stunning end-user experience with full SEO functionality and social sharing tools to ensure you’re able to reach the largest audience on the most popular digital platforms.
Conclusion
There you have it. A (not-so-clear-cut) answer to the question of how fast you can make money with affiliate marketing. I hope by now you have a firm understanding of what it takes to make your first sale or earn a full-time living as an affiliate.

Member showcasing is one method for bringing in cash online for the people who need to get a pay from their web use. A member advertiser advances explicit items or sites in return for a cut of the benefits or commissions from the web traffic she produces. Any time the suggestion/web traffic from a web partner prompts a deal, the subsidiary brings in cash. At the end of the day, the items or administrations are given by others, while you give a deals or showcasing outlet. While there are no effective easy money scams, many individuals have made progress doing web promoting as an offshoot. Figuring out how to function as an effective offshoot advertiser can assist you with deciding if a profession in this possibly worthwhile field may be ideal for you.
Breaking Into Partner Promoting
Settle on a plan of action. There are two essential plans of action that forthcoming member advertisers pick between. The first is an asset site, and the second is a survey site. Which model you pick will rely upon your experience with the items or administrations you advertise.[1]
Asset destinations commonly implant a shipper accomplice's site in an offshoot connection or pennant notice inside how-to articles and posts. This plan of action requires successive updates and new satisfied to guarantee that clients return to the advertiser's site on a normal basis.[2]
Survey destinations include audits of items/benefits that the advertiser has attempted and can confirm for. Every item/administration survey incorporates a connection or pennant promotion that will take clients to the shipper accomplice's site. The upside of survey destinations is that they require less successive updates. Advertisers basically need to make minor changes to their sites to guarantee that web crawlers keep on posting the site in their hunt results.[3]
2
Make a site. To function as a partner advertiser, you'll require your own foundation (an individual site or blog) on which to post connects and publicize for your picked items or administrations. Assuming you as of now have a site or blog, you can utilize that stage to start procuring extra pay as a subsidiary advertiser. In the event that you don't yet have a site or blog, you should make one, or you can utilize previously existing web journals or sites that permit you to present your posts.
The benefit of a blog, like Blogger, is that it's allowed to work, though a few sites require an expense to work. Nonetheless, destinations like GoDaddy.com and Hostgator offer site benefits that are generally modest to work, and may look more expert than an individual blog.[4]
Consider getting together with an associated promoting organization. One simple method for entering the field of partner promoting is to join an organization that has practical experience in web based showcasing. However you'll at last work freely, organizations like MoreNiche permit hopeful subsidiary advertisers to join for nothing to have a stage for promoting items/services.[5]
A few sites permit you to take part in pay-per-click member promoting without running your own site or blog. Direct connections through external vendor sites permit you to make and bring in cash off of advertisements without presenting them on your own site. For example, you could make a promotion for a dating site and publicize on Facebook; when somebody taps on your promotion, they go directly to the dating webpage, rather than a site or greeting page you have made. Some partner networks that represent considerable authority in direct connecting incorporate Partner Projects, Offshoots Catalog, Online business Guide, and Connection Share.[6]
3
Select a specialty. Most member advertisers pick a specialty, or area of specialization. Before you start showcasing items or administrations, you'll have to find a region you can without much of a stretch work inside to advertise.[7]
Your specialty doesn't be guaranteed to should be a region you're now a specialist in. You can likewise pick a particular region which you're excited or keen on learning more about.Think of Oprah, she doesn't showcase herself as a specialist, yet she regularly welcomes different specialists on her show. You can do likewise in your specialty, by giving different specialists a stage to advance themselves in return for content creation.[8]
The underlying startup work can be extremely escalated, so it's vital to pick a specialty in which you wouldn't fret working for delayed periods. This can assist with placing you in a good position as you get your new profession off the ground.[9]
4
Pick items and administrations. Whenever you've picked a specialty in which to work, you're prepared to begin tracking down items and administrations to advance on your foundation. The items/administrations you decide to advance, as well as how much work you'll need to place in, will shift contingent upon your picked niche.[10]
An organization like Commission Intersection is great for advertisers who need to advance more conventional items/administrations. Commission Intersection is engaged with a different scope of potential promoting open doors, which might be great for newbies to the field who haven't reduced their specialty yet.[11]
Advertisers intrigued by computerized content, similar to digital books and programming, may appreciate working with organizations like Amazon, Clickbank, E-addict, and PayDotCom.[12]
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising models like Google AdSense might interest a few advertisers. PPC models pay impressively not exactly other showcasing models, however the benefit is that they require less dynamic work of the advertiser.
