Affiliate marketing means earning a commission when a customer purchases through your referral link.

Start with an audience and problem

It is easier to recommend tools when you understand who you are helping and what they need.

Choose products carefully

Promote offers you can explain clearly. Add original analysis instead of rewriting the sales page.

Disclose affiliate relationships

Readers should understand when a link may earn you a commission.

Build an email list

Launch traffic comes and goes. A permission-based subscriber list creates a more durable audience.
