2. Do Affiliate Marketing

Yes I know you have heard about this millions of times but the truth is still there, affiliate marketing is like a Starter for me, sometimes it requires no investment because you can still do the marketing job offline, how you may ask? Let’s say you went to visit a friend that maybe wants to start a blog and want to get a website but he/she doesn’t know the best hosting site to use, that is where you come in as an affiliate marketer and recommend a good hosting site to him/her, but still, you have to be smart about it so you can get your reward for that referral,

Now, do you get my point? You can refer products, software’s or services to your family, friends, Colleagues, Strangers at a store, customers at your local market places or business. The point I’m trying to make here is that so many people, bloggers, and influences, all make it seem like affiliate marketing can only be done online, making us forget more about the old ways of marketing, yes don’t get me wrong online marketing is the fastest way to get to your audience, discover more people and all that but still we can add a little bit of effort in offline marketing.

Just like the example I made with you visiting a friend, imagine it’s a family member that needs a product, software, or service that you know about or you are an affiliate for, you can actually give him/her the knowledge about the software product or services, then enquire about the persons online contacts, like the person's Facebook name, WhatsApp number or Instagram handle, then you can send them a direct message with your affiliate link, it’s just something you need to be smart and improvise.

The point I’m trying to make here is that whether offline or online you can still be an affiliate marketer, you can still refer people and still get paid for referring others to a product, software, or service.

Now so many people still don’t understand or know what affiliate marketing is.

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards a certain percentage of commission for each product bought by the customers who are brought by the affiliates on marketing efforts (ONLINE/OFFLINE).

1.Select an online product from the domain in which you are well conversant. for example, if you are a dietitian then select a product related to diet. There are lots of products available in every domain you just need to focus on which domain is suitable for you.

2. Places to find products: clickbank.com, Jvzoo.com, warriorplus.com, Moreniche.com this website has thousands of products listed from multiple domains or you can just go and search brands in your Niche for their affiliate program, then register.

3. Choose a product that pays you at least 30 to 50% commission on each sale or recurring commission.

4. Most products website handle affiliate link generation and payouts, so you don’t need to worry about how you will get your commissions. just get your custom affiliate link created by the vendor and start promoting it.

5. If you want to earn instant money from affiliate marketing, try to promote your affiliate link on social sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Quora, and Reddit.

How to Monetize

Monetization is simple, Just make more people buy the products through your affiliate link. Create a Facebook page, write an informative or reviews article or banner ads about the products or just tell people about it whichever way you can, don’t limit yourself or underestimate your marketing skills. Tell people how the product will help them solve their problems. Improve people’s knowledge about the domain or product and help them to solve other related problems ❲ meaning provide value to them ❳ once they click on your link and make a purchase, the brand or company will pay you for that sale. most brands or companies Payout weekly or monthly.

The Time Required For Creating A Gig On Fiverr — You can create a Gig on Fiverr within an hour. All you need to do is first sign up on Fiverr. While creating a gig you’ll have to insert your gig’s title, upload gig’s image, write gig description, and insert relevant tags and keywords.

Tips -

1. Find your best skills — The first thing you need to do is sit down quietly and figure out the skills of which you are the strongest and stick to tasks related to them till you see some success.
For e.g. if you are a person who can design logos and websites, then you should create and sell those gigs in Fiverr that are focused on logo creation and web designing.

2. Do your initial homework — Before diving into gig creation you must do some research to ensure that the gig you are planning to offer has interested buyers. What if you have a wonderful gig idea, but it didn’t sell? To avoid such a situation you must undertake the necessary research to understand what buyers in your niche are looking for.

3. Find popular gigs related to your skillset — One of the best ways of seeing success with Fiverr is to dig out the popular gigs related to your skillset, study them, then model your gig accordingly.

The most important metrics you should look at while studying other gigs are its:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Image
  • Pricing strategy
  • Upsell strategy
  • Bonus strategy

4. Craft your gig’s title — Now as you are ready with all the research data, jump into gig creation. Obviously, here title creation will be your first step. The following are the steps you must follow to optimize your gig’s title.

- Based on your research data model select your gig title, use intriguing words into the title to ensure it catches your target customer's attention and is relevant to them.

For example, if you are offering a logo designing gig. You should consider using titles such as

> I’ll design 3 MAGNIFICENT logos in 24 hours
> I’ll design a PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions
> I’ll design 2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file

- All the above titles are beautifully crafted because they include two important things.

First, they all have intriguing words such as MAGNIFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL, STUNNING, and BONUS. These words definitely help to catch the attention of the right people.

Secondly, they all are appealing to the most important aspects that any person who wants to design a logo is looking at.

For example, the first title “3 MAGNIFICENT logos in 24 hours” will appeal to the people who are in urgent need of a logo.

The second title “PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions” will appeal to the kind of people who want the option of incorporating their changes into logo design.

The third title “2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file” will appeal to the people who have some knowledge of logo designing and want to customize the logo on their own.

5. Create your gig’s image — While doing initial homework you must have observed that some gigs have better images than others which makes them really stand out. Shortlist such images and take inspiration from them while modeling your image.

Once you’re ready with the initial idea use free online image editing tools such as Pixlr or BeFunky to create your gig’s image.

6. Write the gig’s description — Your gig’s description plays an important role in convincing your potential customers to place an order with you. So you must ensure that your gig’s description is precise, clear, and appealing to your potential customers.

Study other top related gig’s descriptions to get some inspiration and model your description on them.

Remember, don’t ever copy other gig’s descriptions it will get you banned. Just use theirs to get ideas to create your unique description.

Also, make sure you’re listing your gig into the right category to maintain its relevance.

7. Use the right tags — Tags play the most important role in ranking your gig higher. Most people don’t realize its importance, so it provides you with the best opportunity to overtake them if you optimize your gig properly using accurate tags.

8. Apart from all the points mentioned above, you need to make sure that your work is credible and unique on Fiverr. There might be many logo designers out there on Fiverr, but if you are the one who understands the needs of your clients and delivers the work in the best possible way then you’ll be able to secure them as your client for a long time.

8.Become an Amazon Associate

What is the Amazon Associates Program?

Amazon Associates is an affiliate marketing program that allows website owners and bloggers to create links and earn referral commissions when any of the website visitors clicks through and buys products from Amazon.

Suitable For

1. People who love to write, explain things in detail and would like to share their knowledge and expertise with the world.

2. Best for people who already own a blog or website with some daily traffic.

Skills Required

1. Ability to express knowledge in writing in a simpler yet effective way.

2. Ability to persuade and convince people through the right argument and explanation.

Time Required For Becoming An Amazon Associate

First, you should sign up for the Amazon Associate program. You’ll need to provide your website’s name while signing up. Amazon will analyze your website, and if they find it appropriate according to their standards they will approve you as an official Amazon associate. The approval process might take 2 to 5 days. Once you’re approved, find out the relevant products you want to promote on your blog then grab their affiliate links and insert them into your website.

Tips

1. Dig out relevant products — The first and most important thing is to find out the products that are relevant to your website’s or blog’s content and audience. The more relevant the product, the better chance you’ll have of selling. For example, promoting wristwatches on a blog that teaches people to do Yoga exercises is highly unlikely to make you any sale. But instead, if you try to promote Yoga mats, pants and books you’ll see great success.

2. Place affiliate links inside your content — Placing simple text links within the context of an article is the most effective way to get people to click your affiliate links. People trust the body of the content on a page more than any other area of the website. Hence it is very likely that they will click on the link when it’s placed inside the content’s body. For example, “Check out this cool [your aff link] smartwatch [/your aff link]. It has retained the position of No 1 bestseller for the last two months.”

3. Link product images to Amazon — Images play an important role in grabbing visitor’s attention. Another simple way to get people to click on your affiliate links is to use lots of high-quality product images and make those images clickable affiliate links. One good thing about Amazon is that it allows you to freely use any product’s image on your website for promotional purposes.

4. Write a product review article — Doing a quality product review and writing a great article explaining all the facets of a product is another great way to generate high click-thru rates and sales. But while doing any review make sure it is of high quality and unbiased. People shouldn’t think that you are badly trying to get them to buy the product. A high-quality review should answer all the answers and clear the confusion or reservations any potential buyer might have. Make sure your review does cover all the above-mentioned aspects.

5. Just send people to Amazon — One of the great things about Amazon is that it is very good at converting visitors into buyers. You don’t need to follow them nor target them with ads, Amazon will do the rest for you. All you need to do is send them to Amazon.com through your affiliate link. The great thing about this is when somebody visits Amazon.com through your link you get a percentage of anything they buy for the next 24 hours. For example, if one person clicks on your “Yoga Mat” affiliate link and visits Amazon.com and buys 2 wristwatches instead of a Yoga Mat within 24 hours, you’ll get commissions for the wristwatch sales even if you didn’t promote it directly.

6. Build loyalty and trust — One major factor that will boost your sales is your readers’ loyalty and trust towards you and your website. Most of your sales will come from people who are loyal and repeat readers. Readers who connect with you on a regular basis, over a long period, begin to trust you and your website. So when you make any recommendation or do a review, they are more likely to take that advice than someone they don’t trust.

How To Monetize

The monetization formula is almost similar to most of the other methods discussed in this app. More people visit Amazon.com via your affiliate link and buy products, the more money you make. Amazon.com will handle all the payment and commission processing for you so you don’t need to worry about it.

The Time Required For Creating Your Store On Etsy -

You can register on Etsy almost instantly. But while creating your store you’ll need to craft its title, get photos of items that you want to sell, write a compelling description, decide on pricing points. To complete the above-mentioned steps it might one or two days.

Tips -

1. Decide what you are going to sell — Before getting your feet inside Etsy make a list of list of items that you think you can create.

Once the list is ready, go to Etsy and type in keywords to find other sellers who offer similar items that you are planning to sell.

Discover what they are selling? how do their products differ from others? What are their pricing strategies? Do some competition analysis and try to find items on your list which will face less competition.

Based on your initial research and competition analysis finalize an item that you think will be more suitable for creating your initial space on Etsy.

2. Select a name for your store — Once you register an account with Etsy, the first thing you’ll have to do is to set up your store. And naming your store is the first step of the setup process.

Select a name that represents what you want to sell. But don’t waste your time lingering for finding a perfect name.

Etsy gives you one more chance to rename your store, so pick a name right away, and give it more thought later on.

3. Set up your store — The following are the important steps you’ll need to follow while setting up for the store.

- Create a logo

Creating a logo is very important for building a brand and improving credibility. Make sure the logo you design is unique and represents the items you want to sell. If you don’t have graphic design skills it’s always better to outsource the logo designing task to somebody on Fiverr. Tell them what you want and let the Fiverr experts do the job for you.

- Take appealing item photos

Photos are going to be the first point of contact between your potential customer and your item.
So you need to make sure that your item photos do the job of catching the customer’s eyeballs and convince them to read the description.

If they don’t find the item’s photos appealing then they’ll never bother reading your item’s description. One trick is to study the photographs of other successful stores that sell similar items like yours and then replicate their technique.

If possible try to take photos using a DSLR and use white plain backgrounds.

- Offer varying price points and sizes

Most of the successful Etsy sellers offer varying item sizes and prices, this helps them to attract all levels of buyers. This strategy helps them to ensure that there is always something for everyone.

For example, If you sell smaller original pieces at a lower price point, people who cannot afford to buy large expensive pieces can still buy from you. In this way, you’ll cater to the needs of both expensive and budget buyers.

5. Write compelling description — Your item’s description is the second most important factor after photos, it does the job of persuading potential customers to place an order with you. So make sure that you write the most compelling item description.

The best way to start is to study what your competitors have written their description, study the biggest questions that your potential customer asks.

Take notes and model your description based on your notes. Also, try to answer potential customer’s questions so that they don’t have any reservations while placing an order with you.

Also communicate important details about your item such as dimensions, the material used, care to be taken during use, and so on.

6. Include the right tags and keywords — Most of the potential customers will find your store through search. So you need to make sure that your title and description have the right keywords incorporated into them.

To generate a list of keywords, think about what your potential customer would type into the search bar to find what you’re selling.

Snoop into your competitor’s title and description to dig out more relevant keywords. Also, make a list of relevant keywords that appear in the auto-suggested list of Etsy’s search bar and add them to your listings.

If you are ready for these things, then you are ready to post and begin your marketing campaign.

Tips -

1. Select your niche: Before you can start marketing on Instagram, you need to pick a niche in which you’re going to operate. The best way to find a suitable niche for yourselves is to look at the things which interest you most of the things in which you are good.

For example, if you are a fashionista and love to stay updated with the latest fashion trends then you can start an Instagram account on which you can regularly share fashion trends, styles, tips, and tricks with your audience.

2. Fill out your bio correctly: Your bio is the first place where your potential followers get the information about you. So you need to make sure it is creating the perfect first impression on them.

You can add one or two liner description, a link to your website, and emoticons for catching attention.

You can also add in a few keywords and a couple of hashtags to ensure that you’re easily searchable by the right kind of followers.

3. Create posts for your ideal followers: Before you can start posting images on your account do some research and find out what people like the most in your niche? Which images are going to appeal to them? Which taglines will make the best impact on them? And so on.

Finding answers to the questions mentioned above will help you to create targeted posts that will fetch in lots of true followers to your account.

4. Post regularly: To grow your followers at a faster rate, you must post several images per day. But make sure you don’t post all of them at once, post them at a different time in a day. Sometimes if you are too busy to post several images then try to post at least one picture every day.

5. Use only high-quality images: Your Instagram account should be a brand. So make sure you are posting only high-quality images with the best effects.

There’s no point in posting low-quality images as they all decrease your account’s value.

High-quality images build a long-lasting visual impression into the minds of your followers, they also help to catch the eyes of the many casual browsers who will just discover you only because your high-quality image grabbed their attention, eventually increasing your followers.

6. Use relevant hashtags: Hashtags are the most dominant feature of Instagram, if used cleverly they’ll help your posts to reach millions of people who might be interested in your profile. Do some research and find the best hashtags within your niche and make sure you are including them in every single post.

Visit the website Flick.com for discovering, managing, and analyzing Instagram hashtags. Grow your account, business, or influence by reaching new audiences on Instagram's most popular tags within your niche.

Also, keep the hashtags relevant, and don’t try to fit in too many. Instagram allows you to post 30 hashtags per post.

7. Engage with your followers: You need to interact with your followers to build trust, get an insight into their problems, needs, and expectations so that you can use this data to bring in more relevant content for them.

A simple way to engage with your current followers or potential followers within your niche is by liking their images, providing valuable comments, or even following them back.

You can even run daily contests that might seem relevant to your followers.

For example, a reputed watch brand runs a “Pic of the day” of the day contest in which they ask their customers to post images wearing the brand’s watch.

They then select the best image out of submitted ones and post it on their Instagram profile.

Followers like such contests because if selected they get the chance to become popular among the brand’s other followers.

How To Monetize -

Following are the best ways to make money on Instagram:

1. Affiliate Marketing

This is a good way to start making money especially when your Instagram account has gathered a few thousand followers and is growing fast.

Affiliate marketing on Instagram is quite different than other traditional channels such as blogging and video marketing.

Here you’ll need to post beautiful images of the products you want to promote and drive sales by placing your affiliate URL into your bio or caption.

2. Create Sponsored Posts

If you have a high engagement with your followers, you can earn some handsome money by creating sponsored posts for brands.

A sponsored post is nothing but a regular post that contains a high-quality image or a video that highlights a product or a brand.

You get paid for every sponsored post. Payment varies based on your popularity, influence, engagement, follower demographics, and so on.

The aim of any sponsored post is to create awareness about a product or a brand within your followers.

But while doing so make sure that you choose only a product or a brand that is relevant to your audience and is a good fit for your own personal image on Instagram.

Following are the names of the companies where you can visit and register yourself as an influencer:

1. Tapinfluence

2. Ifluenz

3. Takumi

3. Sell your photos

If you are taking high-quality photographs and professionally editing for your Instagram posts then why not sell them to make some extra cash?

There are many individuals, bloggers, and businesses who are always looking for new and creative photographs. Instagram can help you to find them and sell your snaps.

There’s a very simple way of doing this. Add a watermark to your images and list all the selling and contact details precisely within the caption. People who are interested in purchasing them will contact you, and you can sell your shots to them.

The following are the names of some trusted sites where you can put your Instagram photos for sale.

4. Sell your own products

If you personally create any product or you are a retailer, you need to leverage the power of Instagram for getting more sales.

Product promotion works great on Instagram because you can post personalized photos of your products which cannot be found anywhere else.

You can use many promotional tactics such as creating beautiful infographics, asking existing customers to post pictures of them using your product, or even post pictures of the raw materials and actual product creation process.

5. Sell your Instagram account

If you already made it big on Instagram by gathering millions of followers. You’ve achieved all your goals or just you need to move on from Instagram to doing something else.

Here’s the list of few legitimate websites where you can sell your Instagram account:

  • Fameswap.com
  • Viralaccounts.com

Extra Tip -

Above mentioned are the best ways to monetize your Instagram account once you get a few thousand followers, but I’ll suggest you not to start any promotions until you get 10 thousand followers.

Some of you might think waiting to start making any money until the account gets 10 thousand followers is really insane.

But believe me, it’s the right way. You need to first build trust and confidence about yourself into the minds of your followers and you can only do that by providing consistent value to them over a period of time.

Shopify is not just like any website generator or CMS like WordPress. It’s a complete e-commerce platform with more than 70k people using it for selling products online.

Tips -

1. Decide what you are going to sell — Before you can start setting up your online store on Shopify make a list of things that you want to sell.

You can sell anything from wristwatches to t-shirts, necklaces, accessories, and so on. If you still can’t decide what to sell then try to make a list of things you like or which interest you the most, this will give you a heads up.

2. Do some initial research — Once you have the list, you must conduct some research. Find the answers to the questions such as:

  • Does the product you are intending to sell have demand in the market?
  • How much price are people willing to pay?
  • Where are people visiting to buy these products?
  • On which social media channel you can find your best potential customers?
  • What is the age group of your potential customers?
  • What are the current trends?

The best way to find the answers to the above questions is to visit top e-commerce stores such as Amazon.com to find which product designs are selling the best, read the customer reviews to get more insight into customer's expectations.

You can also visit product forums, join social media groups, popular blogs to collect more data about your potential customers.

This data will help you to select the right products that will appeal to your target audience and thus fetch you more sales and profits.

For example, if you plan to sell wristwatches visit Amazon.com and check out best-selling wristwatches note down their price range, observe their designs, read customer reviews, and note down important points.

Find out other similar e-commerce sites like Amazon and repeat the above method. After that move on to watch forums, fashion blogs to collect more data about your potential customers.

3. Find the suppliers — Once you’ve finalized the products you want to sell, you can visit sites like Everbuying.net or Alibaba.com to find the suppliers who can provide you the products.

Shortlist some good suppliers, discuss your marketing plan with them and see if they are the right fit for you and can deliver agreed products within the time limits.

4. Set your store on Shopify — Once you’ve completed the first 3 steps it’s time to set up your online store.

Do this, register on Shopify.com, verify your email, and start the store creation process. Here you’ll need to choose your custom domain name, theme, product category and finally, add products.

While adding products you can use the images and description used by your preferred supplier from Everbuying.net or Aliexpress.com.

5. Pricing strategy — Your pricing strategy is going to define how much money you are going to make. Use the data you collected during the research step to decide your product’s pricing.

For example, if you’ve decided to sell wristwatches and they cost you $17 per piece on Everbuying, and your research data is suggesting you to sell it for a maximum of $30, then you can sell it for $27 and make a $10 profit on every sale.

6. Promote your product links — Once you’ve added products to your Shopify store you can start promoting them wherever you want. Social media is the best place to begin your promotion campaign. You can also offer discount codes to attract more customers to your store.

7. Orders and shipping — Once anyone places an order use that money to place the order from your supplier on Everbuying or Alibaba and provide him your customer’s shipping address. Your supplier will himself make the arrangement for packing and shipping. You don’t need to worry about anything.

The more targeted people visit your store and make the purchase, the more money you make.

Step 1 — Set up your WordPress viral website

Setting up a WordPress website is easy, and you don’t need to learn any technical stuff to do it.

You’ll just need a domain name and a hosting account with a good web host to set up your WordPress site.

If you need a step by step guide for doing this, you can watch WordPress tutorial videos on YouTube to get started.

Step 2 — Create a Facebook fan page for your viral website.

You can create a Facebook fan page within minutes, but if you still need any help, you can always get help from Google.

Use professional-looking photos for your page’s display picture and cover photo and don’t forget to fill in all the necessary details regarding your website while creating the page.

I would also suggest you take a look at the Facebook pages of other popular viral websites and take ideas from them to set up your page.

A word of caution here, never copy any articles from other websites unless you want to get banned from Google or Facebook.

39.Do CPA Marketing

What is CPA?

CPA stands for “Cost Per Action.”

CPA is one of the popular ways of making money on the internet. CPA marketing is very simple: you get paid when someone clicks on your affiliate link and completes an action.

That action could be:

  • Providing an email address
  • Signing up for a free trial of a product
  • Downloading a mobile app
  • Requesting a quote

CPA is easier because you’ll earn money even if a product is not sold. Unlike affiliate marketing where somebody must purchase a product for you to receive commissions.

CPA model works on lead generation. Many big companies are willing to pay big commissions for generating targeted leads.

Your job is to just get them a lead, they will do the rest of the work for generating a sale from those leads.

Suitable For -

1. People who love to talk, write, explain, and have the ability to persuade.

2. Best for people who already own a blog or website with some daily traffic.

Time Required For Starting CPA Marketing?

To start CPA marketing and earn commissions you need to find an offer to promote, then get accepted by a CPA network. You can find an offer almost instantly but getting accepted into a CPA network might take a week. But, once accepted you can instantly start promoting an offer of your wish.

Tips -

1. Find different offers — Your first step here will be to find different CPA offers available in the market. And the best way to dig them out is to visit oDigger.com and OfferVault.com.

Both these sites work as search engines for finding CPA offers. They aggregate offers from all the reputed CPA networks available worldwide.

2. Select your perfect offer — If you already own a blog in any particular niche then select an offer related to that niche. Make sure it is relevant to your blog and audience.

For e.g. If your blog talks about android app gaming, then a CPA offer that pays you when somebody installs an android game app would be perfect for you.

3. Getting accepted — Believe it or not but getting accepted into CPA networks has become a huge stumbling block for most marketers. Most of the CPA networks nowadays implement tough scrutiny to ensure that only high quality and legitimate marketers get access to their offers. This is to prevent any fraud or any illegitimate activity.

Following are a few tips that will help you to get in:

Be honest — CPA networks filter out scammers and not the legitimate people. So make sure the information you provide is real and isn’t shady. Don’t try to trick them.

Know your offer — If you already know what offer you want to promote then it’s a great plus point. You’ll be asked about it when you’ll fill out the application. This shows that you are one with a plan.

Know your traffic sources — While filling out your application you’ll be asked about your traffic sources. So you must know how people are going to reach your offer. Are you going to promote it through email marketing, mobile ads, writing an article on a blog, or anything else, you must clearly mention it.

4. Optimize your blog — Once you’ve joined a network and selected your CPA offer, it’s time to promote it on your blog. The best way to do this to integrate your affiliate links into the blog’s content.

This is so far the best way to get higher click-thru rates. Another way is you can place banners either in the header or sidebar section.

Always do some experiments and try to optimize your link placement to maximize your click-thru rates, but while doing so ensure that you are damaging your blog’s user experience.

How To Monetize -

Commissions for CPA offers usually range from $0.10 to $10 per action. In some niches such as Insurance, Attorney, Antivirus Software it can go up to $50 per action.

Imagine if you could get 10 people to download a trial version of antivirus software that pays you $50 per install, you’ll earn $500 without even selling anything.

Commissions offered are decided based on factors such as niche, back-end product cost, product demand and supply, targeted country, and so on.

In order to earn maximum commissions, it is best that you choose offers that are relevant to your audience and pay higher commissions.
