If you want to get into affiliate marketing now but are worried about whether it’s still worth it, that’s fine. It is a question that many people ask themselves. Don’t worry. Affiliate marketing in 2019 is still profitable.
Affiliate marketing adds a lot of value to the market, online commerce is expanding, and more and more people use the Internet every day. That means you can make money from affiliate marketing.
One reason you might think you won’t is that many people don’t do affiliate marketing well. They fail at it. But you can do better and succeed.
Remember, affiliate marketing will always be profitable.
That’s because it adds value.
You can make money by providing value to your audience. You help companies sell more products and services. The consumer gets what he wants, the business gets paid, and you make money by connecting the two.
But first people have to trust you. Consumers have to trust that you are giving them valuable advice. By being honest in your reviews, and not just selling everything online, you can build that trust. Once it’s there, people will click on your affiliate links and you’ll earn a commission.
The more trust people have in you, the more money you will earn. That is the most important thing about affiliate marketing.
There will always be things to sell too. Online commerce is growing and by 2040 95% of purchases will be made online. Right now it only accounts for 13.7% of retail purchases. Now is a great time to start building trust as eCommerce continues to boom.
Online commerce is growing as more and more people connect to the Internet each year. In 2017 less than half the world was online. There is a lot of room for growth and new audiences. That even puts aside how many more people are being born as well.
With that in mind, it’s time to think about how to give yourself the best chance of success.
Most people fail at affiliate marketing. It is not easy to build trust with strangers. You have to constantly add value. It’s hard work, but it will be worth it.
Most affiliate marketers have a hard time getting traffic and converting it into sales.
People quit because they don’t give enough time for their blog or social media account to grow. The first fights can be unpleasant. To persist!
Even then it can be difficult to convert views to clicks. People will not just instantly click on your links when they first see your content. It takes time to build trust with your audience. You have to attract people who are interested in what you are doing and how you are doing it. The right mix between the content creator and the audience will drive clicks. Again, you have to be persistent.
There are ways to grow traffic and clicks, which I have presented here.
Keep going and you will be rewarded.
