How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing


Years ago I was suckered into an Amway pitch...
But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today.
During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this...
"Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket."
So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing.
Most products and services pay you in money.
However, some reward you with credit toward their product.
So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost.
One example is a meal delivery service called HelloFresh.
I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscription this means that if I consistently refer enough people I can cover that cost.
It's very similar to the network marketing model that preaches "get 3 and your product is free".
In this way you can cancel out popular services that you use everyday, basically making them free so you no longer have to think about those costs.
I apply this to pretty much every single online product and service I subscribe to.
I'll become an affiliate and put in at least enough effort to cancel out the cost of each of those subscriptions. 
A couple of other sites and products I like to recommend that reward you with credit are...

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

What Is The Average Salary For An Affiliate Marketer?

Honestly there really isn't an "average" salary for affiliate marketers because there's so many different skill levels when it comes to online marketing. Most people that call themselves affiliate marketers have probably made less than $100... While on the high end others make six or even seven figures every year. However, the magic number that I've found most people are aiming to hit when they first dive into the world on affiliate marketing is about $100-$200/day. Sure, everybody likes the idea of driving Lambos and Ferraris and partying on  private jets  and expensive yachts... But the reason why, for most people, $100-$200/day is all they need is that it's all that's standing in between them and having to be at their dreaded 9 to 5 job for 40+ hours every week. The great news is that $100-$200/day is really not that hard to achieve, even if you're just getting started and know nothing about making money on the Internet. Now, there a...

Is It Still Possible To Make Money From Craigslist With Affiliate Marketing?

So, you want to make money with  Craigslist  as an affiliate marketer, huh? Well, that makes sense... After all, Craigslist is one of the top 20 sites on the planet, according to  Alexa . But, even though it doesn't look like the site design has been updated since 1995, unfortunately, it's unusually challenging to game their platform. But it can be done. There's always a way. So, just to give you a quick recap of the evolution of Craigslist affiliate marketing over the years... In the beginning it was pretty easy...and then Craiglist closed all those loopholes Then it got harder, and so the marketers that stuck around started using virtual assistant services like  TaskBullet  to manually post ads in different cities in order to scale, and to try and avoid ads getting ghosted And then that got less effective Which brings us to where we are now. Now, two kinds of resources that I recommend checking out if you're serious about marketing ...
