Rather than spam links, build a brand and niche down to a specific, passionate topic. Solve problems with tutorials, reviews, comparisons. Guide customers along their journey from unaware to purchase.

- Affiliate marketing is free to start and beginners can find success with no prior experience. You can start making money within the first month.
- There are 3 main strategies: search, creating content that shows up in search results; social, building an audience on social media; and spend, spending money on ads to promote affiliate products.
- The search strategy is best for beginners. You create written articles or YouTube videos recommending affiliate products so people find your content when searching to make a purchase. This is low risk, passive income.
- The social strategy involves building an engaged audience on platforms like Instagram and continually promoting affiliate products to them. This requires consistently creating content.
- The spend strategy means spending your own money on ads to target people ready to make a purchase. This is the most advanced approach, with only a 20% profit margin, but huge potential to scale.
- Each strategy comes with a different lifestyle. Search is low stress and passive. Social requires more continual work. Spend is high stress but scalable.
