Affiliate marketing strategies have become one of my passions lately and I love hearing success stories and writing about what actually worked for me (eventually). Because after failing to make any real money in the first months of blogging, and almost giving up on it, I revised my approach and turned affiliate marketing into one of my main sources of income that stream from my blog. And this shows in my income reports:

In fact, as further proof that after you put in the work, the income can be very much passive, I recently took a short family trip to Italy and in the 4 days that I was away, I made enough money in affiliate sales to cover my full expenses. I am only pointing this out because I have been blogging for less than a year and I want to encourage you and make you see that it is possible!

But as I looked back at how I got started I realize there is so much to learn from my failures and my misconceptions about affiliate marketing that will help others succeed with it quicker, because I now see that is a great and very real opportunity to make money blogging.

So I put together some of my most embarrassing mistakes that resulted in my affiliate marketing fail and what I learned from them. In the name of full transparency, please be aware that this post also contains affiliate links and any purchases made through such links will result in a small commission for me, at no extra cost for you.

To be completely honest with you, when I first found out about affiliate marketing I was so excited to get started and implement what I had read in a few blog posts here and there that I had no real strategy, no goals (other than that of making money) and no clear idea of what I was doing.

And that cost me 4 months of my time and a lot of wasted hours. So if you are just starting out and want to see results quickly, I would recommend that you invest in your education on this topic.

For me, things finally started to make sense and bring results when I purchase this e-book that not only thought me how to successfully use affiliate links on Pinterest but some of the core basics of affiliate marketing that were lacking from my knowledge vault.

Priced at only $25, How to Make Your First Affiliate Sale in 24 Hours Using Pinterest was the reason I made my first $100 blogging a few weeks later and a big contributor to making my first $1000 online. (See my income reports above to read more.) So I think any investment made in affiliate marketing e-books or e-courses are definitely going to pay off if you then take the time to apply what you learned.

If you want my full, step-by-step blueprint that I now use to promote affiliate products on Pinterest, be sure to check out my post on How I made my first affiliate sale in 2017 With Pinterest where I explain exactly how I made it happen to give away a free printable game plan for you to follow.

When I first started The She Approach I had no real vision for it. I only knew that I wanted to write (basically about everything and for everyone) and I did just that. I treated it like a lifestyle blog and I posted everything from blogging tips to university posts, recipes and photos of my dog.

There is nothing wrong with lifestyle blogs. In fact, there are many of them who are doing an amazing job! But I had no vision for my blog, no idea who I was writing for and to be honest, I was messy and inconsistent when posting.

This had a huge impact on my affiliate sales because I was promoting the most random products that were not really in line with what I was writing and not everyone who was interested in my university blog posts cared about my dog or about blogging.

In fact, I still remember the first thing I become an affiliate for: a $97 online productivity course that I knew nothing about. Since I was writing about university tips, I thought this was a great product for students that were my audience at the time.

When I was promoting the productivity course, I wrote a blog post about how to be productive and promoted it on Facebook that week. And that was it. I had no creative ways to get people to read my posts and I had to keep posting to keep getting traffic consistent which was exhausting.

The thing with getting people to buy through your links is that you have to get them to click first. And to get them to click, they have to read your posts and be interested in what you were promoting. Even so, a ridiculously low amount click.

Looking back I am not at all surprised that I went so long without making any affiliate sales. Why would anyone want to buy through my links? I was offering no value, I was all over the place blogging wise and I had no real connection with my readers!

Since then, I made sure to work on all that and besides building a professional platform that people can come to for blogging advice and offer free value as often as I could (in blog posts and other freebies that I have on my website, as well as exclusive bonuses for anyone who purchases something through my links). But more than that, I wanted to build that trust with my readers and actually help them, so I started an email list.

Not only do I now successfully promote affiliate deals to my email list, but I created a bridge of trust and a way of communication between me and my readers that beats any cold traffic (new people who randomly find my blog).

As you begin this journey, remember that presenting your affiliate links on a well-designed website can make a big difference. HubSpot's drag-and-drop website builder is a great tool to effortlessly create a professional-looking site to showcase your affiliate products.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing tactic where an online retailer gives niche website owners the ability to create unique product links (called affiliate links). The website owners must promote the link; in exchange, when someone visits the link and makes a purchase, the website owner automatically receives commission. As an affiliate, you only make money once the link is used in a transaction.

Affiliate marketing is right for you if you already own a website or blog and your content offers opportunities for product mentions. For instance, if you own a recipe blog, you can create links for product ingredients.

Here's something that surprised me when I first joined the Affiliate program: not all products offer the same commission rate. The rate changes depending on the product category, and can jump from anywhere between 1 to 20% of the sales price.

For instance, if I sell a hair dryer on Amazon, I can earn 10% from each sale. But if I sell an Amazon Fire Tablet, the commission rate drops to 4%. You can see a complete breakdown of Amazon's product category commission rates below:

Although it is free to join the Amazon Associates program, you need to meet certain criteria in order to be eligible. To state the obvious, you need to have a valid Amazon account. You also need to promote products through an active channel, such as a website, blog, or TikTok account.

Being an Amazon Associate is a great way to monetize passion projects or make supplemental income from your brand. However, Amazon has requirements for associates to follow once you are accepted into the affiliate program, so it's best to understand those before you dive in.

To start, you must have an active website, blog, app, TikTok account, or YouTube channel. To take it one step further, I recommend pre-populated your site (or social media channels) with content. That way, it appears active and authentic to both users and Amazon.

In order to become an Amazon affiliate, you'll need to create your Amazon Associates account. To do that, visit the Amazon Associates homepage and click Sign Up. From there, you'll be prompted to log in to your existing Amazon account or create one.

From here, I click the Text button in the Get Link selector. Then, I can choose to generate a short link or a full-length link in the popup. Now I can use that link in my promotions.

To use this tool, click on Product Linking in the top banner and select Link to Any Page. Then choose the Link to Favorite Destinations tab. From here, you can narrow your search with the drop-down menus on the left. Name your link, then click Get HTML.

In my experience, targeted content has been a game-changer. Essentially, you create links for a specific keyword within a product category. For example, if I'm running a spooky lawn decoration promotion for Halloween, I can post a link to that specific search. This lets me highlight many great options for my audience at the same time.

To use this tool, click on Product Linking in the top banner and choose Link to Any Page. Then select the Link to Search Results tab. From here, you can narrow your search with the drop-down menus on the left. Name your link, then click Get HTML.
