ers in that niche like those products.
In other words, there’s no second
guessing; you know for a fact that you can
make money in that niche and you know
for a fact which products are successful,
unlike if you had to develop your own
product!
Once you’re happy with a product, you
sign-up as an affiliate for it and are given
a unique link that you place on your web-
site. When a visitor clicks on that link they
go to the vendor’s sales page where, if
they buy, you get paid the commission
assigned to that product.
- Get Your Domain Name.
Before you setup your website
you need to get a domain name
based around your niche. For
example, fastgoutcure.com, weightloss-
forseniors.com. Get the idea? This will
become your website “address.”
Two of the most popular domain regis-
trars are “GoDaddy” and “NameCheap.”
- Get Hosting.
Next, you need to get hosting for your
website. This is where all your website
files will be stored and secured. When
someone enters your domain name in their
browser they will be directed to your web-
site.
There are many web hosting compa-
nies out there, but you can’t go far wrong
as a newbie by going with “HostGator.”
- Set-Up Your Website.
You then need to set-up your website.
This needs to be highly relevant to, and
laser-focused on, your chosen niche and
product. For example, having a website
about “arthritis” and trying to promote a
product that cures “gout” will neither rank
well in the search engines nor make sales.
Although gout and arthritis are linked
medically, most people don’t know that, so
they’ll be searching for “arthritis” solu-
tions or “gout” solutions and Google will
present webpages on their search results
that reflect that. So always stay laser-
focused!
You need a platform or specialist soft-
ware to build your website. The most pop-
ular platform today by far is “WordPress”
which is free. Most good hosting compa-
nies like HostGator allow you to select
WordPress directly from within your host-
ing control panel in just a couple of clicks.- Add Great Content.
There’s a saying in marketing that
“content is king!” I like to say that
“GREAT content is king!” So the content
on your website has to be highly relevant
to, and laser-focused on, your niche, such
that your site visitors get great value (and
know they get great value) from it.
For example, if your site is about
“gout” you write content about what caus-
es it, its symptoms, how it’s diagnosed,
how it’s treated, any natural remedies, any
specific diets, lifestyle changes, and so on.
Give top tips, some recipes, the latest stud-
ies, news, etc. That is, keep adding
“value.”- Drive Traffic (Visitors).
Now, you can have the best website in
the world, the best product(s) to promote
that will definitely, absolutely, help your
target audience; but, if nobody ever lands
on your site, you might as well not have
bothered!
So getting visitors (called “traffic” in
Internet marketing) to your website is
absolutely critical to your success and to
helping all those people who are desper-
ately searching for a solution to their prob-
lem.
There’s basically two ways to get traf-
fic; “pay for it” or “get it free.”
Paid traffic is things like advertising
on other niche websites, Google, Bing,
Facebook, etc. You can also pay people
who have large email lists in the same
niche as you to send out a promotional
email of yours to their list.
But paying for traffic may not be the
best option when starting out because you
really need to know what you are doing
because it’s very easy to get “burnt” when
you don’t.Free traffic comes from things like
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) which
is the art of getting your website on page 1
of Google, Bing, and other search engines.
You can also get tons of free traffic
from posting great content (with links
back to your site) on Social Media plat-
forms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
Pinterest, etc. When people click on your
link they end up on your website.
You can produce simple, short,
YouTube videos that can drive traffic to
your site via your site link in the video
description.
One very popular way to drive free
traffic to your site is to post comments on
blogs and forums in the same or similar
niche to you.
Another very simple way to get free
traffic is by publishing short articles in
Article Directories.
This also has the added benefit that
other website owners in your niche are
allowed to copy and publish your article
on their sites, but they must leave your
website link intact so that you can get free
traffic from THEIR site too!So, here’s your affiliate marketing check-
list:- Choose Your Niche and Product
- Get Your Domain Name
- Get Hosting
- Set-Up Your Website
- Add Great Content
- Drive Traffic (Visitors)
If you’re a beginner to affiliate market-
ing don’t be overawed by all this; it really

mean anybody, who has an Internet con-
nection and a computer or laptop can be up

sions, in as little as 48 hours. And all with-
