In case you didn't know but Affiliate Marketing is not a scam! and if you think it is then that's fine with me because you're the one missing out, Not me!
Making money online is not what you think it is. There is no auto pilot system that floods your paypal account with cash all day every day. So don't believe that hype!
The way you make the money is by working for it just like every other normal person does. Affiliate marketing too often gets a bad rep because of those people out there who try it and spend their rent money on either eBooks claiming to show them an auto pilot system or on just plain dumb marketing strategies.
Don't be stupid!
Social media has made it a lot easier for the everyday person to make extra cash these days. Now if you mix that with Affiliate programs and do it the right way, then there should be no reason why you can't make money via your online efforts and face it we are all on social media all day every day. So getting something to go viral today should not be rocket science to any of us.
BTW, Affiliate programs are Free to join and they are everywhere. They're no secret. Amazon, Groupon and sites like Expedia all have affiliate programs that you can join.
Therefore it's a no brainer when you're not asked to put up any money and you're sitting at home stressed out with no job and no money or just want to make extra cash. Let me break it down real quick....
If you have at least 60 Friends on any social media website you can make an easy $90 or more any day. Take This Affiliate program for instance; All you need to do is ask your Friends to input their email in a form, for every 20 ppl that do it you'll earn $30. Get 60 ppl make $90, 120 people $180 but I'm sure you can do the math. It's FREE...You have absolutely Nothing to lose and neither do your friends and family.

"You're in a world full of social media and online shopping fanatics, so why not make profit off Amazon.com utilizing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram"

In today's world there is not a soul who hasn't ordered something from Amazon.com. It really is the biggest shopping mall in the world, and everywhere you go you either hear or see something about amazon they're even talking about drones doing deliveries now. Amazon is here to stay and it's a shopping center for the whole world and if you are smart you'd use that to your advantage. Don't know how? It's alright. That's why I'm here :)
After creating your Free affiliate account with amazon you should now reach out to all of your family and friends who shop on Amazon and let them know that they can know purchase anything they would get on Amazon.com through your site or link all for the same price. In fact let them know that they will still be purchasing from Amazon and amazon will pay you for every sale you make. It's really that simple and *If they're really your friends and family they will purchase through you for now on*.
Just be sure to leave them with your link, have them save it on their computer or phone and make sure that you have it in your profile somewhere they can find it with ease.(ex; email signature and bios are the perfect place to leave your links..)
Then.....
Pick a product (Books are my personal favorites, but you can get more help on this in the "extra resources" section below) or you can create an a-store (You learn more on a-Stores below as well) with a bunch of products and promote that as your own online store, but don't be tempted to build a website around a topic you love before you've checked
whether there are any decent products that you can promote. *Just because you
love something, doesn't mean it will make you money!*
- Quick Amazon formula I go by (Natural Search Traffic):
- # of Amazon reviews for niche/product > 20 or more.
- Go to Amazons Movers & Shakers and see what's trending up.
The reason I look for niches that contain products on Amazon.com that have > 20 reviews or better is because
only a small percentage of people who purchase products on Amazon actually decide to leave a
review. So if you get a lot of people leaving a review of a particular product, then you know that there is
likely to be demand for products in that niche.
And Then....
Obtain your referral links!
And Theeeen....
- Create a Facebook fanpage to promote your products. Post daily updates that will attract people to like your page (ex; Deal of the Day) and purchase a $5 boost for your post which usually attracts 800-1000 views. If people like the post they'll "Like" it.
- Create a separate post for your friends and followers on facebook to see; ideally it should be a recommendation post or something in the form of a question about the book or product you chose but don't flood your timeline with ads just interact. Remember these are the folks you know personally the people who trust you so being honest and educating them instead of selling them always works best.
Finally....
Take to Twitter and send a tweet recommending that product and insert your link (Since Twitter only allows 140 characters try to use a url shortener for the link, it gives you more space to write about your product)
Remember, Whatever you do make sure that you Don't flood your timelines advertising products. That can be very annoying and will cause people to unfollow you, yes it will!
You need to interact with your followers, if they start to follow you reach out to them and say thanks for the follow and follow back. This is what builds long lasting and trusting relationships and people tend to make purchases from those they trust most.
That's it for this! Just Follow these simple steps and you're guaranteed to start earning commissions off Amazon products.
Good Luck Y'all! :)

The 3 Simple Rules to making extra money that does not involve a second part-time job.
Rule 1 - Build up a following (email list, subscribers, followers, friends etc).
By now I'm sure you're already on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any other social network out there. You're friends and followers will be the beginning of your following, If you have a ton of friends/followers throughout all of your social media accounts I would recommend you start with them. These people may consists of your family and close friends that you interact with on a daily basis. These are the people that trust you most and the people that you trust most, so why not go to them first to expose your business or idea. Explain to them exactly what you're doing or trying to do and what you'll need from them and won't need from them. Get them all on board this way you show yourself some progress, I have learned through my experience that we as people seem to never get discouraged as long as we see some progress happening. Progress makes us all happy and with that progress you can now use as proof to attract new people/customers to your business later, people that you have never met before, people that are not part of your current following.
Rule 2 - Find an offer or product to offer or sell (Create your own Tshirts, Ebooks or Affiliate Marketing, etc..)
First you need to make sure that whatever you plan to push will convert, how will you know if it would convert or not?
Did it convert or entice you to want to learn more about it? That's how you know!
If you hate it don't offer or try to sell it. If you love it then go for it. You know the saying "When you're doing something you love you never work a day in your life" It really is that simple.
Rule 3 - Action plan (put that offer or product in front of your following).
This is where the work starts, now you start working with that following of yours and begin to expose your product/offer to them. Again you will need to explain to them exactly what you're doing or trying to do and also remember these are the people who trust you already so there should be no problem sitting down with them and asking for their help if needed. After you go through your following you should have now gained some experience and maybe even learned a few new things along the way. All it takes is a little success with your original following to give you something you can work with when trying to build an even bigger following that will consists of people you don't know and may have never met before.
Build a new or even bigger following or find a new product/offer so you can simply duplicate these steps and continue to earn extra cash daily, weekly or monthly.
Remember you can't reinvent the wheel you can only duplicate.
Consistency and taking action is the key!!!!
My Top Converters (No particular order);
Earn a cool $1.50 for each person you refer, your referrals do not even have to become a fully activated member for you to get paid. Just refer 20-30 people a day who might be interested, and you'll soon be making an extra $315-$1000 a month!
You play a role in every single decision they make. Help decide something as simple as what color they should make a product, or as complicated as how to solve an engineering issue. Simply clicking buttons on the Quirky website makes you residual income.
We all know what Amazon is, heck it's only the largest shopping mall in the world so pick some products and start selling them as if they were your own products. Simple!
Good Luck!
