Want to make a great ongoing income using your writing skills? Affiliate marketing is the answer if you love to write; you can even get started today.
Affiliate marketing is basically selling others’ products, for which you receive a commission. Your commissions may be paid instantly you make a sale, or every two weeks, or once a month. Your money’s paid via PayPal, or via check.
As a writer, you’ve got all the skills you need to sell affiliate products with panache – you can write.
In addition, since many affiliate marketers hire writers, once you know how the process works, you can offer your writing services to them. They’ll hire you if they know you’re an affiliate marketer too, because they know that you have what they need – you have experience.
Not sure whether you can handle affiliate marketing?
Read on for the answer.
Sell What You Love
I know that some writers cringe at the idea of selling – writers are by nature shy, and they don’t want to be pushy. This is one of the reasons they’re writers.
Here’s the answer: sell what you love. Let’s say you use a certain model of cell phone. You adore this piece of high tech equipment. You load programs onto it, browse the Web with it, take snaps of your kids – you know everything about this phone.
Could you sell this phone?
Of course you could. The fact that you LOVE this phone will come across in everything you write. The writing won’t be a chore (you’d probably write about it for free) – and you won’t feel as if you’re selling, you’re just sharing your enthusiasm, because you want others to get the benefits of this superb phone.
As the saying goes, you can’t fake sincerity, so I encourage you to look around you. What do you use every day? What great product or service makes you smile? What did you save up to buy?
You’ll be amazed that, as you look at your life, you’re using many products which have high-paying affiliate programs. Join the programs, write about the products, and collect the money. By the way, once you’ve written an affiliate marketing piece and posted it online, this piece of writing will keep selling for you (and earning you commissions) for months and years to come.
Affiliate marketing lets you use your writing skills in a fun way, and get paid for it too.
