Is Affiliate Marketing Right for Me?

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and shows no signs of slowing down. With so much promise the thought has likely crossed your mind;


"Why haven't I tried this yet?" 


So why haven't you? The good news is that literally, anyone can do affiliate marketing!

However, affiliate marketing is not for everyone. People often struggle with the concept of affiliate marketing because they think it's 'sales' or have doubts about their ability to be successful 

 

Not that long ago I was part of that crowd! 


Prior to understanding how affiliate marketing worked, I was wary of the idea. I had heard the horror stories of people investing in different programs and ultimately losing their shirt in the process. However, once I came to understand the benefits I was sold and I can happily say that haven't looked back. 


Affiliate Marketing has personally given me the opportunity to earn an income with the freedom to choose my own working hours. You don't have any physical products to worry about and the scalability makes it the best option for anyone looking for flexibility in the future of their business.


One of the greatest aspects of affiliate marketing is the advancement in technology that has made this opportunity available and allows anyone to build an online business. As long as you are prepared to learn and implement that knowledge, you can use email combined with online platforms you can thrive in the online space.


So now you are probably thinking that while this sounds good and all at what point can I expect to replace or make a decent income? 


There are different motivating factors for people starting their journey into affiliate marketing. This alone can play a role in how quickly you could see results. Some people want an additional source of income. While other people want to make big money.


 No matter what the driving force your results will be dependent on the amount of time you choose to dedicate to your affiliate business. However, it is important to remember not to compare your results to others because results vary from person to person. 


That being said with the right tools and guidance some affiliates have taken a mere 3 months to see results and  6-12 months to fully replace an income. 


In other cases, it can take years before an existing income is replaced. All of this boils down to the fact that it can as little as 3 months or as long as several years to replace your income. 


As mentioned earlier affiliate marketing also offers incredible scalability. Certain businesses with physical products or location-based are limited to the people who can physically come into the location. 


Online business on the other hand can have a global reach. Offering digital products as an affiliate combined with a global reach will allow you to put offers in front of thousands of people in the online space. 


Using automation will also cut down on much of the work involved in building up your own business without it. Including automation in your business model, will allow you to focus on your activities and reach a larger audience through content creation as well as other organic strategies.
