This Affiliate Marketing Strategy for Beginners Could Make You $4,000 a Month (by 2024)

Hi, my name is Benjamin. I've been working in the affiliate marketing industry for nearly 8 years, and I'm currently earning a net profit of $200,000 annually. I believe I'm making enough money, and I want to share my method with everyone.

I know that many people around the world have Googled, "How to Make Money Online?" After going through dozens of search results, they might think, "This doesn't look easy, I better give up!"

Of course, like most people, I did the same thing and got the same results. From starting to giving up, it took just a few minutes to make an important life decision. Fortunately, like most people, I only wasted a few minutes and didn't lose anything significant. But does that mean there's really no beginner-friendly, quick way to "Make Money Online"?


Clearly, there is.

At the AWS conference in Bavaria in 2018, I confirmed this once again. We were on the rooftop of the World Trade Center hotel, enjoying good food, sipping champagne, and discussing our ad campaigns on Facebook Ads and Google Ads. Interestingly, these businesses were very simple. We were all just making easy money using the most basic resources and techniques.

The reason you don't know "How to Make Money Online" is simply because of the existence of information silos. An information silo is like the movie "The Truman Show." From the moment you wake up in bed each morning, you encounter the people and things arranged for you by the world. The difference is that, in the internet world, it's the tech companies that push all the news and information to you. It's not what you want to know, but what the internet companies want you to know. Your only choice is to click on the titles of the articles you want to read more about from the list.

You had one opportunity when you Googled or searched on Facebook, "How to Make Money Online?" At least, I can now confirm that if you check 10 or 20 search results, there are definitely 1-2 that can truly help you achieve real "Make Money Online." You just need to prepare, spend a little time looking for more information, but you can 100% find the information and resources you need through Google.

If you happened to come across this article, congratulations! You're on your way to making real money.

With nearly 8 years of experience in the affiliate marketing industry, I've written this guide. It allows you to get an insider's view of the industry. I believe that by following the steps outlined in this guide, you can quickly get started and create at least $50 in profit from a $20 budget on your first ad campaign. It's very simple; you just need to read and follow the steps to achieve this. Within a few months, you'll easily reach at least $4,000 per month in income!


Lastly, as a reader of this book, I have to lower your expectations: if you hope to get rich overnight or immediately change your financial situation by following my tutorial, I don't think that's easy. While some of my readers have indeed made over $10,000 a day within a week using the content of this book, chances are you won't be that extraordinary. Most people are ordinary, with their own jobs and lives. They usually can't spend more than 2 hours a day on affiliate marketing, so their daily profits are typically between $300 to $500.

Nevertheless, this might be your best chance to "Make Money Online" since you started using the internet.

If you're eager to get started, let's dive right in!

1. Summary of Principles

The business logic of affiliate marketing is very simple.

1.Bob's company is a clothing company with an online store, constantly offering discounts and hoping for more customers to place orders every day.

2.Susan's company is an affiliate network company that partners with Bob's company. Whenever a visitor clicks on an affiliate link provided by Susan's company and completes an order on Bob's online store, Bob's company will pay 15% of the order amount to Susan's company as a commission.

3.Martin is an individual affiliate. Martin gets Bob's affiliate link from Susan's company's website and promotes it using Google Ads. Whenever someone clicks on Martin's ad link and completes an order on Bob's online store, Susan's company will pay 10% of the order amount to Martin as an affiliate commission.

It's a simple business logic, right? But here are some things to note:

1.There are many companies similar to Bob's clothing store worldwide; Susan's company collaborates not only with Bob's company but also with hundreds of Bob's competitors globally.

2.Martin is just one of Susan's affiliates; Susan collaborates with at least 20,000 affiliates worldwide.

From this, you can conclude:

1.Bob's clothing store chooses to partner with Susan's company mainly because Susan's company has many affiliates, which means many affiliates might choose to promote Bob's offers, giving Bob the chance to get more orders.

2.Martin doesn't have a company, so he, like other affiliates globally, chooses Susan's company and becomes an affiliate, instantly finding hundreds of Bob's competitors and applying for offers to promote and earn profits.

3.Bob pays Susan 15% of the order amount, but Martin only gets 10% of the order amount because Susan's affiliate network takes 5%. The benefit is that Martin doesn't have to contact Bob directly.

3.Preparing for Google Ads Campaigns

Before you start creating your Google Ads campaigns, it's essential to do some preparation. Each step we take is crucial in the Affiliate Marketing process.


Google Email: Budget: Free. A Gmail account is necessary for running ads, as you'll use Google Ads to manage your campaigns. You may need multiple Gmail accounts to create several Google Ads accounts.


Join Affiliate Networks: Register with networks such as Golden Goose, MaxBounty, Zeydoo, ClickDealer, CrakRevenue, LosPollos, AdsEmpire, and Advidi. Some networks are easier to join than others, so be sure to look up tutorials on how to get approved. You can also find offers in your niche on sites like Offervault.

Create Landing Pages: It’s recommended to use GetResponse for creating landing pages and managing ads. GetResponse integrates email marketing, automation, and ad management in one platform, making all your marketing efforts more efficient.

3. Landing page production

1. What is a landing page?

A landing page is also called a landing page or a guide page. It refers to a specific marketing campaign with a clear theme that visitors see somewhere - attractive discount information released through email, social media or advertisements, etc., and are linked to the first page on your website after clicking.


Generally speaking, the purpose of a landing page is to mine and collect visitor information, with the goal of converting visitors into potential customers and following up based on the collected information. A landing page provides visitors with a visit experience with a very clear goal: by presenting a specific page, it points out a clear path of action for them to complete the transaction between them and the company.

2. The importance of landing pages?

Landing pages play a vital role in advertising. If account optimization has an impact of 60% on the effect, then the remaining 40% is the impact of landing pages. Therefore, a good landing page can help us save costs and increase the conversion level.


How does a landing page affect the effect?


Many people who do marketing know the concept of "five quantities and four rates", but not everyone can clearly tell which "five quantities" and "four rates" they are. Let me tell you again here: the five quantities in the five quantities and four rates are display volume, click volume, visit volume, consultation volume, and order volume; the four rates are click rate, visit rate, consultation rate, and final conversion rate. The landing page has a particularly important impact on the visit volume and consultation volume.


3. What is a good landing page?


Strictly speaking, there is no absolute good or bad landing page, only whether it is suitable for your account. Sometimes, some page designs are not so beautiful in our eyes, but visitors find the results they want on this page and complete the actions we hope they will complete on this page. This is a good landing page.


Although many landing pages are beautifully designed, visitors can't understand them at all. Such pages cannot be considered good landing pages.


4. How to design a good landing page?


Normally, if you don't have many years of experience in the Internet, it is not an easy task to create a landing page. Generally, the following steps are required to create it from scratch:


Purchase a Server:


Choose a suitable hosting provider (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean).

Select the type of server (shared hosting, VPS, dedicated server, cloud server).

Configure and purchase the server, obtaining the IP address and login credentials.

Purchase a Domain Name:


Choose and register a domain name (e.g., through GoDaddy, Namecheap).

Ensure the domain name is relevant to your website and easy to remember.

Configure Domain and Server:


Point the domain name to the server's IP address at the domain registrar (configure DNS records).

Verify domain propagation, using command line tools or online services.

Set Up Server Environment:


Select and install the server operating system (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).

Install web server software (e.g., Apache, Nginx). Install necessary software and tools (e.g., database server MySQL/PostgreSQL, runtime environment Node.js/PHP/Python). Implement Security Measures: Configure the firewall, opening necessary ports (e.g., ports 80 and 443). Install an SSL certificate to ensure secure HTTPS access. Regularly update the system and software, applying security patches. Develop the Website: Front-end development: Write HTML, CSS, JavaScript to create an attractive and responsive design. Back-end development : Write server-side code to handle business logic and database operations. Database design: Design and create database tables to store website data. Deploy the Website: Upload the developed website code to the server (using FTP, SCP, Git). Configure the web server to correctly serve the website. Set up an automated deployment process (using CI/CD tools) for future updates. Testing and Optimization: Conduct functional testing to ensure all features work correctly. performance testing to optimize loading speed and resource usage. Fix any discovered bugs and optimize the code. Launch and Maintenance:
