Affiliate marketing, this is one of the most popular platforms and choices when it come to jumping into a business online.

Make It A Simple Process…
It is not a “simple” process if you keep chasing the latest and greatest tool or software the Jones’ have..
It is not a “simple” process if you subscribe to only using one method to generate traffic, and once again, have to keep paying for it.
The shortest route to affiliate marketing success is the road you are ignoring, building something that lasts…
Have you ever met or really and truly know anyone who “made money over night” here? Me either. As a matter of fact, it took me months.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular and, I have to say, easiest ways to build a solid income stream online, given you build it the right way, the first time.
However, it is also something that takes time to build, because in the end, you have to build authority and trust.
This is where a solid web presence matters most!
Let’s look at some of the basic and most fundamental platforms you will need…

Let’s look at some of the basic and most fundamental platforms you will need…
You Need A Passion:
While I will keep the comment about this short, you need passion about what it is you want to promote online.
I suggest looking at least two years down the road and seeing if by chance, you could still hold a passion for it. Of course there are those who say find “hot” products, but nothing wastes more time and money than that concept.
Look for specific products and services within your passion to promote…those will be your “HOT” items anyways.
Besides, how are you going to create the type of content that converts if you know very little about “said” products and services. It makes no sense to me.
You have time, you are not in a hurry, so find what you are passionate about first!
Here are the platforms you will need to successfully build, brand and manage a successful affiliate based business:
1. A Website & Blog
Yes, you need one, I don’t care what affiliate guru hack tells you. If you want to work at home online, here is your main hub.
Your website will contain first and foremost, static pages. These pages will include not just an “about” page and link to a sales page. These will hold “EVERGREEN”content that matters most to you industry.
Your blog. You need content, and between you and me, blogging and video are the two most productive venues for traffic driving content.
Regular content not only excites search engines, it also excites people!

Did you know that 64% of people online love to visit websites that continually add valuable content about their industry? It’s true.
Think about that the next time some guru says “you don’t need content.” Hmm.

2. Video And Podcasts
These are no longer strategies, they are the platforms we demand more value added content from.
Videos and podcasts are also the most popular ways to take in content via mobile devices.
These platforms are a great way o personalize your blogging, sales funnel and other strategies online.There is nothing better than a voice, face or both to really brand your products or services.
Try them out, and don’t be afraid, more people will love what you have to say than not care at all.

3. Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing, no matter how much it takes away from the “social media” experience, it is here to stay.

Here you do have a chance to build your brand. Notice I did not say be a “seller” of stuff, I said building your brand? Take it easy with people on social media…
Paid media is good here, especially Facebook for affiliates
This is another great place to get your answers out about the products and services people are searching.
Becoming a part of communities and groups is a massive advantage for you! With these platforms you can queue into your competitors and, specifically target audiences that are already interested in your niche industry.
Be careful though, most of the affiliate marketers using social media make nothing here, and if you take a longer harder look at their practices, you will see why.
Be Different, Offer Support, Build Brand Awareness, Become An Authority, Engage!
