Hello Guys I am Krushnal Patil mad Welcome back to my new blog post. In today’s blog post I am going to tell mine though on affiliate marketing and What Mistakes I made during Affiliate marketing. So let’s begin…..

What is Affiliate Marketing?

In Affiliate Marketing a person helps to sell another person’s product by promoting it. Here the person who sells the product is called an Affiliate and the person whose product is being sold is called a merchant. So after an Affiliate makes a sale he/she gets a portion of the Merchant’s Income.

For example, I am a merchant and sell the online course and you are an affiliate. To increase my sales you will come to me and we will sign a contract saying if you make a sale I have to give a portion of what I earn, let’s say 30% of what I earn. Let’s say the price of my Course is $1000. Then you will earn $300 per sale. This is called Affiliate Marketing.

How to become an Affiliate?

Today there are many websites and applications which provide affiliate program where you can sign up and start promoting products and earn money. For Example, go to upleap.com scroll all down, you will see an option called “Affiliate”. Just click on it and you will be redirected to another page. Setup your account there and you will get a link. You just have to do is copy the link and place it everywhere wisely. When any person clicks on it and buys the service from upleap you will be paid. Your commission will be directed to your affiliate account from where you transfer it to your bank account.

This is so much basic knowledge. This one was optional. I am 100% sure you know all the above information. If not or want to learn more about it, you can go to google or youtube and search the keyword you want to search. There you will get the best Information on it. I am here just to share my opinion not explaining Affiliate marketing.

My opinion on Affiliate Marketing

I don’t like affiliate marketing. I don’t like promoting other people’s stuff online. I think it is useless. But still many people are earning a lot of money from it.

I initially found it interesting. But I made a lot of mistakes and I am still unsuccessful to make money through it. I’ve watched a lot of videos read few books. Still, I don’t get interested. I joined many affiliate programs and pasted my affiliate link everywhere. When I read books on it, I found it too different than what I was doing.

Mistakes I made doing affiliate marketing,

1)I never had the patience,

2) just pasted the link everywhere. My Twitter was banned because of this,

3) had no interest in it,

4)was just running behind money,

5) was not promoting effectively,

6) didn’t have any kind of knowledge,

7)no source of traffic,

8)not choosing an appropriate affiliate program,

9)thinking no money is required to start

10)not running ads

11)not completely focusing on it,

12)not being stable on one product

These were the same mistakes that I made doing affiliate marketing.

I personally don’t like Affiliate Marketing that is why I am no working on it nowadays.

To earn a living I will recommend you to start affiliate marketing. First of all, learn about it everything and make sure you don’t make any of these mistakes that I made.

I hope you liked today’s blog post. I know this was too short but interesting and I hoped you learned something from it, well tell me in the comments down below.

We will meet in the very next blog post, till then take care and have a nice day…………..
