They say by 2021 it will be a $6.8 billion market. It seems like more and more brands are now using affiliate marketing. And I want to tell you the story about how I got involved in share a sale and I sell my products on there now. But first, let me tell you how to use share a sale so that you could make money whether you have products or not. First off, let's talk about affiliate marketing because that's what share a sale is in so many of these other sites. Affiliate marketing is basically somebody recommending or sending somebody to a landing page, a sales page and for that referral, they get a commission. It's something you can do too. And it's really quite simple. What's gonna happen is a customer lands on your page. You as an affiliate, you have a link on that page. They click that link. They go to a product such as maybe my survival food. If they buy that product, I then pay a commission to that affiliate but it's done through an affiliate site. So I don't have to deal with it. The affiliate site deals with it. The affiliate doesn't have to try to collect the money because the affiliate site pays them and we're all happy. And it's really pretty simple. I mean, it sounds complicated but what's happening is the customer is clicking on a particular link that identifies that affiliate so that when they come to my site and they actually buy something, it's identified as that affiliate who sent the customer there. Share a sale, grabs that information, says, hey, you got a sale here and that commission is then paid out to the affiliate and neither one of us had to do anything more. Now, let's go through some of the terminology used in affiliate marketing, first off. First off, the advertiser. The advertiser is generally the person who owns the product. It can also be called as the merchant or the brand, something along those lines. The next term you're gonna hear is publisher. Now the publisher is the person or company who actually promotes and gets that particular product sold. Now this person can be somebody who has a blog or a website or post videos on YouTube. I know I post videos on YouTube and if you look down in the description here, you'll see links to Amazon because I'm an affiliate for Amazon. Now the next thing you're gonna hear and that's what share a sale is, is an affiliate network. An affiliate network is that intermediary company that brings the seller together along with the affiliate and makes it all happen. And of course the last term we all know, the customer. The customer's so important because they're the one who actually buy the product. Now the other thing you're gonna hear about is the affiliate program. And basically the affiliate program is how all this is set up through one of these affiliate networks. And the affiliate program, I may say I wanna pay out 5% or 10% or whatever I decide and that affiliate network will take care of all that. The next thing you're gonna hear about is affiliate tracking. Affiliate tracking is basically that code that tells the affiliate network who to pay and how much to pay. There are two basic ways to start affiliate marketing. Number one, you can start from scratch, okay? Start right off from scratch from the very beginning. The next thing you can do is if you already have a product or service, you can become an affiliate or offer other affiliates to buy your product or service. So for example, we have a company that sells survival food. Now we joined Share-A-Sale and Share-A-Sale actually will send business to my company through these affiliates. So what I've done is I've added that to my stream of income. The other thing I can do of course is I can be an affiliate, which I am. I just mentioned in the description below there are links down there that take you back to Amazon and when you buy one of those products I get a small commission. Now what's really important is that you find a niche. Too many people try to go in four or five different directions. I was just reading one of my comments on my videos this morning and I asked somebody what they sold and they said they sold dog beds and they sold vitamins and they sold exercise equipment and they sold skin cream and they sold clothing and they sold hats and T-shirts. And I'm like, oh my gosh, you have no niche. You have no niche whatsoever. So what I would tell you in the beginning is you gotta get a niche. You gotta get a direction that you're going to. You've gotta have an area of expertise. Now I want you to think of it this way. First off, what are people interested in? What do you know about, okay? So you wanna feel what people are interested in and what you know about. What are you passionate about? What would you like to maybe learn about? Even if you don't have that much knowledge yet, you can certainly learn about anything. Next thing I would warn you against is it evergreen. You'll see a lot of products come out, everything from the pet rock to the fidget spinner and it's sold, but it's sold for a short period of time and then those people were scrambling to find something else. And of course, if you're gonna be an affiliate, you wanna know if there's an affiliate network for that particular product or for that particular niche. If there isn't, it's not gonna do you any good because you need that affiliate network. And of course, the last thing is, is it gonna be profitable? Can you make money doing this? If you're gonna be an affiliate and you're gonna buy traffic and send it to a site and try to sell somebody's product, you gotta make sure that you make more money than you spend, just simple economics. Now a great place to start is Google Trends. See what's trending, see what's going up or at least remaining steady. You don't wanna catch something on the downturn. You wanna make sure that it's either steadily going up or it's at least even. Once you've done this and you found this niche, you've gotta go out there and see if there's products that are available to sell to that niche. You gotta have the products and they have to be available through an affiliate network. Now you can do something simple like go to Google and type in your niche, let's say survival food and then add affiliate program to that. Once you do that, you'll see what affiliate programs there are out there. You may ask yourself, well, how do I become an affiliate marketer? It's really quite easy. Now this video is about share a sale and basically all you have to do is go to share a sales website, sign up to be an affiliate, find the products you wanna promote and you're off and running. Now the next question I almost always get is how much money am I gonna make? A, can't answer that question. It's not possible to answer that question. It's not possible to answer it because it depends on how much effort you put forth in it, it depends on what niche you pick. I will tell you that according to business.com, the average income for an affiliate marketer is $62,327 a year, which is not bad, but I know you're not gonna be average, right? You're gonna be better than average and you're gonna earn even more than that. There are people that earn in the millions of dollars a year of being affiliates. What is really so exciting about this is there's really no cap to it. As soon as you find some products that work, you can go out and find more products and more products and more products and once you get a few ads that are turning profitable, you can add more and more ads. So it's something you can build on over the years. Now let's talk about share a sale for a second. They were founded in 2000. So they've been around for 20 years now. They're really established with partners. They're established with affiliates and they're a good place to start and it's a place where you don't have to worry about the payouts and when you're gonna get them. They take care of all that for you. Now, I promised you, I would tell you how I got involved with share a sale and I knew about it for years and I'm involved with ClickBank and I'm involved with Amazon and different websites but I had somebody working on my site the other day in India and he's a really intelligent guy and he did a great job and he says, why aren't you on share a sale? And I said, oh, I had heard about that. It just seems like a lot of trouble and he says, no, no, no, all you gotta do is go fill out these forms and go fill out these things and you can start getting business. And I thought, well, what's the odds of me getting any business? But I went ahead and did it. I went ahead and filled out all this stuff and I had to put on there my logo. I had to put my website and I really didn't put any tools in there yet and I still haven't which are like banners and ads and all those things. I need to get those things going but I put my website there and I put my logo there and within hours, literally, I had a $797 sale and I thought, wow, that's great but I also thought to myself, for the past 10 years I could have been doing this and getting traffic to my site and making money but the bottom line of the story is you wanna always learn and share a sale had been around I hadn't investigated, I knew it was there and I'll do something else but it's a great way to start guys. Whether you have a product and you wanna find affiliates to sell your product or you're in a position where you have no products whatsoever and you just wanna be an affiliate and send traffic share a sale is a great place to start.
