Are you looking for tips on affiliate marketing and how to get started? Today let me share with you some simple and easy pointers for you to get started.

For a start, you need to know what niche you want to target. There are many profitable niches that you can target if you go to the ClickBank marketplace. I recommend that you go there. As a guideline, you can pick a niche that you are either familiar with or passionate about. Once you have narrowed down on a niche, choose one product that you want to promote. You can look at the gravity score as a gauge on how profitable the product is. The higher the score, the better it is. If you see that a gravity score is not too high for most of the products in the niche then that could be an indicator that the niche is not profitable and it would be a good idea to look for a different product in a different niche.

Once you have decided on what product you want to promote, it is time to create a simple website for that product. But first, I recommend you do some research on keywords. Head over to the Google keyword planner and do a search on keywords. Type a keyword that is related to your niche and look at the keyword ideas that the keyword planner generates for you. As a general rule of thumb, pick keywords that get at least 2,000 monthly search volumes. This step is to ensure that you pick keywords that get good demand. You can make do with 7 to 10 keywords. Once you have your keywords ready, you can start building your website.

Building your website isn’t a difficult step. I recommend getting a web host that runs on cPanel. You can use the QuickInstall function to install a simple WordPress website. After that, write articles based on the keywords you have picked and then publish them. Be sure to add your affiliate link at the bottom of each article.

Now that you have your website up, you need to promote it. Since you already have those articles, I recommend you submit them to article and document directories. You will not be allowed to leave your affiliate link there, but you can leave a link back to your website and that is what you should do.

I hope you have learnt something from these tips on affiliate marketing. I wish you success in your affiliate marketing ventures.
