Affiliate Marketing
teenagers are affiliate marketing experts

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. It’s one of the most popular ways for teenagers to start making money on their own. There are many reasons why this could be, but I think the biggest reason is that teenagers have more free time than adults and are ready to take risks. They also have an understanding of social media and above all, they know which content delivery network works best for their content. This article will go over nine things you can do as a teenager today to get started with affiliate marketing right now.

Get Started With Affiliate Marketing

Before you grab your laptop and start building a profile, it’s better to map things out, make a strategy, set realistic goals, and decide on the right platforms for maximum outcomes. 

Make a plan

First, you need to decide what affiliate marketing is. It’s promoting products on your site or social media accounts to earn a commission when someone purchases that product after clicking through from your site. You can promote anything you want – clothes, beauty items, supplements. The possibilities are endless.

Set a profile

Second, you’ll need to create an account on Amazon.com if you don’t already have one. It’s free to sign up for an easy-to-use once your account is set up.

Third, you need to create an account on Google AdWords. This platform will allow your affiliate links to be tracked when someone clicks through from them and purchases a product after clicking.

Promote your product

Fourth, find some products you want to promote! Remember, these should either be things you use yourself or don’t use yourself.

Create a blog

Fifth, you need to create a blog. This can be done for free on your website builder of choice or through Medium if you don’t want to spend the money upfront (be aware that it costs $50/month). You’ll also need hosting, another monthly expense but should only cost around $13 per month. Moreover, picking the right content delivery network platform can help optimize your content in an effective and seamless manner. 

Social media presence

Sixth, you should create Facebook and Instagram accounts if you don’t already have them. These are the two major social media platforms that will allow you to promote your affiliate links to people for them to click through and purchase products on Amazon

SEO for affiliate marketing

Seventh, optimize your blog! This means writing great content and using the right keywords. Teenagers are affiliate marketing experts, for they are always in the know about the trending stories

Twitter can do wonders

Eighth, you can also promote your affiliate links on Twitter if you want another social media platform for marketing. This is even easier than promoting through Instagram or Facebook because it’s so simple to set up.

Try Pinterest 

Ninth, you can also promote your affiliate links on Pinterest! This is a great way to share images of the products you’re promoting and get people clicking through from those pins.

With these simple steps, you can not only get started with affiliate marketing but will become an expert in no time. So buckle up and set your strategy.
