My Top 5 Best Recommended Affiliate Marketing Blogs 2019: What You Really Need to Know?

Personally, for me Affiliate Marketing is a direct method of earning commission by promoting a product in your website or a social page.

In other words, you earn a commission by promoting a company’s or a person’s product. It’s an easy way to earn passive income. Just sign up for a program, put the links of the product on your site or social media page and watch your income grow from the purchases through your links.

Unfortunately, there are certain creases in the details of Affiliate Marketing that must be ironed out for you to truly appreciate the process and start earning significant income from it.

For me, the 3 Key Factors of becoming Successful in Affiliate Marketing are – 

• Set Achievable Goals
• Stick to What You Know – you will need to write content, ad copy, emails, etc…so if you know what you’re selling, you’ll have a better chance to succeed
• Acquire some technical knowledge –  These days nothing can be done without technology. I am not saying you need to be a top programmer or an IT Whiz Kid, but you need to know how things work!!

Now, I don’t want to get too much into detail with Affiliate Marketing, but, what I will do is send you some links to my previous affiliate marketing blog posts which I have worked on and which you can have a run down at –
