The best method, hands down, is affiliate marketing. Though you need to have a decent amount of traffic, once you build the trust of your audience, sky is your limit.
Affiliate marketing is just recommending products to your friends and followers, and earning commissions when they purchase it.
There are also other types of affiliate marketing where you receive commissions just for the visits, sign ups, e-mail submits etc. They don’t have to purchase anything from them. This method is called CPA (cost per action) marketing.
To make money in affiliate marketing, you just have to do the following steps..
1 Pick a niche
For these types of recommendations, you first need to have some following in the niche of your interest.
These are few of the popular niches for affiliate marketing :
Health & fitness
Technology
Finance
Beauty & Fashion
Lifestyle
2 Build your authority on a platform
After selecting a niche, pick a platform to build your authority over the topic. Develop sufficient knowledge, and become a trustworthy and go-to person for your niche.
You can select some free platforms to create valuable content. The platforms include
Instagram etc.
3. Add relevant affiliate products
After that find only products that are relevant to your niche that you have used or at least would love to, and sign up on their site to create an account. You can mostly join those programs immediately. But few of them require approval before joining them. So first explore and then choose your affiliate products.
Now, add relevant products to your content only whenever appropriate.
Now whenever a person clicks on your recommendations and buys it within a certain time range (called the cookie time), you will automatically receive your commissions.
YouTube
