How To Learn Affiliate Marketing Strategy
How to learn affiliate marketing strategy so you can become a successful blogger…because you don’t want to waste time launching an affiliate marketing business, do you?
Just today I was watching a new video about this very topic at the training site of my choice – which you can view if you click over to it from one the buttons below. If you’re ready to get going, you can do that, can come back and finish reading my ideas about this later.
How do I build an effective affiliate marketing strategy
My focus on how to build an effective affiliate marketing strategy was prompted because I saw an ad for an appealing product on Facebook.
A laundry sheet that dissolves in your washing machine, that requires no plastic to contain or deliver it. Many people are aware of the plastic problem we’ve created, and now need solutions for that.
In blog writing, you need a product or topic that you’re really passionate about. Why?
Because you need to produce a high volume of content to achieve success in blogging for affiliate commissions, so that’s difficult if it’s a topic that bores you, right? I’ve already covered two aspects of strategy:
- Choosing a topic that inspires you
- You will write a volume of content (one successful blogger I follow recommends at least 100 posts before a significant presence is made, on the internet, leading to a significant income. When I saw this ad I clicked over to read about the product, and yes, it sounds like something worth trying.
But my curiosity was also to determine – can one be an affiliate for this product? And, is Earth Breeze worth the time? What would the commission be? I clicked from the purchase page to the main website. Indeed, on scrolling down to the menu at the bottom of the page, I see you can become an affiliate.
Then I clicked again and came to a page where a blogger can sign up for ShareASale, a huge marketplace for affiliate products.

One of the qualifications you need to become an affiliate for ShareASale is to have a website that is developed enough to get some volume of traffic, so that the vendor can assume you’ll get some referrals over to their sales page. Makes sense, right? So now we have number three and four on the strategy list.
- You found an affiliate product you’re passionate about.
- You plan to build a site about it and qualify to become an affiliate.
What is the best strategy a beginner can use in succeeding in affiliate marketing
Now, you may be thinking, how am I going to produce 100 blog posts about a laundry sheet?
The good news is, you don’t have to. Just think of how many related products you can write about involving the laundry experience. Let’s consider washing machines.
Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes and other major retailers offer affiliate programs. So here are strategies 5 & 6.
- Make a list of related products that can add to the relevancy of your laundry sheet.
- Find out where they can be bought, and where you can get affiliate links for those.
Also, on your blog, you want to provide vital information about the problem your recommended product is going to solve for your readers. Having done no research, a myriad of ideas come to mind:
- Plastics don’t break down in landfill sites
- Plastic leeches into foods from packaging trays, plastic wraps, and plastic bags
- Plastic leeches into water in many plastic water bottles
- Micro plastic particles are found in our blood, breast milk, new born babies and our organs
- Plastics are hormone mimickers and endocrine disruptors – this can lead to many life-threatening degenerative conditions
This leads to the awareness of more related products you can promote for affiliate commissions:
- Glass food tubs
- Glass or metal water bottles
- Silicon reusable ziplock bags
- Household water filters erasing the need for bottled water
Just to name a few. See how this strategy snowballs?
There is a lot to write about to encourage your readers (and the search engines) to conclude that you know what you’re talking about, and that the laundry sheet IS a good solution to the monster plastic problem.
It is easy to find things to write about, even without ChatGPT, but you can use that too.
The affiliate marketing training community I recommend has a series of training classes on using AI. This series adds to all its other training classes for beginner bloggers.
Why is affiliate marketing difficult for beginners
Affiliate marketing is difficult for beginners because they (you) don’t know about:
- Hosting/domain names/building a blog/legal pages/ blog post formats/ creating guaranteed targeted web traffic
- Finding information on all those topics and putting the pieces of the puzzle together correctly
- Don’t know where to find all this information in one place
- How to coordinate the development of a blog while creating it and publishing it online
And that’s why I urge you to take a look at the site where I learned all these factors – and still learn new things every week!
