Collecting Commissions with Affiliate Marketing

Did you know you can earn commissions in your spare time? While you work? While you sleep? With affiliate marketing, you put your content out there and if an interested viewer likes what you have to say, you could earn a commission from the referral.

While Affiliate Marketing is a very broad subject, I wanted to share a barebones map of the basic set up to get started. I am purposefully going to bullet point this and if you are hungry for more information, well, then become a member and get my articles sent to your inbox! In my subsequent articles, I will take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of my website, how it is integrated with other sites like an email aggregator, as well as how it links to affiliate partners. And, of course, how commissions get paid out!

Step #1

Get good training. YouTube is awesome, but to be honest, you are getting snippets of a much larger, more important picture. I learned from Legendary Marketer. They have videos and walkthroughs on how to write good blog articles and tips on how to shoot good videos, how to edit videos, how to create landing pages, etc. They are a legitimate business and I have learn a great deal from them and am still a member to this day. I figure, if I want to create and BUILD a business that earns bigger and bigger commissions over time, I would want access to the best training.

Avoid costly mistakes by finding good training. I learned from Legendary Marketer Dave Sharpe as a one-stop-stop for affiliate marketing and collecting commissions.
