How to do Affiliate Marketing without compromise

If you’re new to affiliate marketing or have only dabble in it up to this point, I thought now would be a great time to give you some of my very best affiliate marketing tips:

1. Do it for the RIGHT reasons

Affiliate marketing just for passive income or just for the money are not good enough reasons and they’re not going to get you very far in your results. Share products, programs and services that you believe in ONLY.

Become an affiliate to add value to your people’s lives. NEVER share something just to make a buck and always be sure it’s something you’d personally invest in before you ask your customers and subscribers to do so.

2. Buy the product yourself.

If you can, buy the product yourself. How are you going to promote something you’ve never bought yourself?

Now there are situations where you trust the product creator or have some relationship with them – that works. OR you might just simply be listing products you think LOOK good, and you tell your audience that.

I actually did do that on this post about under desk treadmills because I knew people would ask which one I bought. The one I bought isn’t online anymore so I found similar ones and I told my audience that.

It’s about TRUST. If you’re promoting just for a quick buck, they’ll know.

I’ll tell you whenever I’ve bought something as an affiliate and told my people I’ve invested in it I’ve sold WAY more than when I don’t. They know I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is, and that’s important!

3. Share what you love, what speaks to you, what fits NATURALLY into what you’re doing.

I call this natural affiliate marketing and it’s so much easier and more effective to add affiliate offers into the natural flow of your business. Don’t take products out of left field that have NO logical fit into what you’re doing.

Affiliate marketing works best when you share what you’re doing and incorporate your offers into that. A great example is when I teach people how to set up WordPress sites the most natural thing in the world to recommend to them is the hosting company that I use and love. I make sales on that every single time, and a lot of them!

Affiliate marketing does NOT need to make you feel like a sleezy car salesman and it shouldn’t. It should feel NATURAL and when it does the sales come in a very easy and non-painful way!

That’s why I created my course Lifestyle Affiliate Marketing. In it I teach you how to incorporate affiliate marketing into your business to help you grow lifestyle freedom!
