How to become Affiliate Marketer (Beginner’s Guide):

If you are considering to become affiliate marketer here are some steps to follow, but first you need to remember that, do not promote products or services which you did not tried or which have bad reviews, otherwise you might end up going into loss when it turns out to be a bad product.

Blogs are not mandatory but it is the easiest way. There are also others ways to promote such as :

• Youtube videos

• Facebook Ads

• Email Marketing

• Content writing, etc

Let me explain with an example, image you want to recommend the product which you have used and found it to be good product .

For ex, let us consider that we bought Redmi 10 Prime (Phantom Black, 64 GB) 

Step 1: Create a affiliate website and explain the features .

Ex: The phone has the following features:

·        4 GB RAM | 64 GB ROM

·        16.51 cm (6.5 inch) Display

·        8MP Rear Camera

·        6000 mAh Battery

Step 2: Mention the price and discounts available. And finally add the merchant website link.

Ex: The price of Redmi 10 Prime is Rs.14999, but you can avail this product at just Rs.11,290 by clicking this link.
