AFFILIATE MARKETING; CORRECTING THE MISCONCEPTIONS AMONGST NIGERIANS
Some weeks back, Kalu Aja organised a twitter Space and put Toyin Omotoso on the hot seat.
Like most Nigerians, he too was confused about the business model called affiliate marketing, especially with the way many Nigerians promote it.
But rather than draw unfounded conclusions about affiliate marketing, he sought explanations from an authority in the field.
Those who participated in that space left with a full realisation of what affiliate marketing was...
In affiliate marketing you are helping the creator of a product to sell his/her product and you get a commission for every sale that comes through you. That is why affiliate marketing is referred to as the "comission for promotion business"
In affiliate marketing, You are not inviting people to join you, you are selling a product to them, and the product could be a physical or a digital one.
But how do you help a person sell their products if you don't know how to EFFECTIVELY sell online?
In this era, selling online is the most effective way to do business as long as what you are selling is not a Commodity.
In the online space, you get your product/service in front of millions of potential customers with a single click.
The biggest affiliate marketers are those who have mastered the art of selling online.
When affiliate marketing was started in Nigeria, the founder of the marketing platform realised that though many Nigerians were interested in affiliate marketing, many didn't know how to sell online...
He created a course on affiliate marketing and added online marketing to it.
It is this course that many affiliates are marketing. It is a course, a digital product and not a physical one so you can't see it...
When you pay for it, you are provided a link to download and study it in order to learn online marketing and affiliate marketing
Courses are digital products and not physical products and the affiliate marketing platform we are referring to here, only sells digital products.
Selling of digital products is a a very huge market and if you find an interesting digital product that solves problems for people satisfactorily, promote it like mad and earn mad commissions from it.
And it is true that some Nigerians are making millions weekly with affiliate marketing, promoting and selling digital products.
These Nigerians who are making millions weekly from affiliate marketing, didn't start making millions in their first month.
Some of them didn't make any meaningful amount of money in their first year, but they continued studying and implementing the course they bought, and...
When they mastered the art of selling online, they started making hundreds of tthousands weekly, and eventually progressed to making millions.
Some weeks back, a black American lady released an online course (a digital product)and she was selling it for $997 per copy and made over $1million in 14mins. Yes, in 14mins... it wasn't a typo.
That is how much money someone can make from selling digital products, even as an affiliate marketer.
There is no ponzi in affiliate marketing...A lot of people fail because they are lazy.
Many people are not ready to study the course after buying it... Ponzi has eaten deep into their brains that they just want to start making money without working and when the money doesn't come, they start shouting SCAM.
You must first learn how to sell online before being able to make money online from affiliate marketing
Others who keep shouting SCAM and using derogatory words on affiliate marketers, are those who can't afford the course that teaches affiliate marketing and online marketing.
The topic of affiliate marketing is long and I need to go and attend to my patients Abeg...
But, I will be available to respond to reasonable questions in the Comment section or inbox.
