JEBCommerce Question of the Week – How do I get started in affiliate marketing and make money online?
This week an old friend of mine asked me the following question: “We talked years ago about starting a retail business online and dropshipping. I’m now in a place I want to get started making money online as an affiliate. Where do you suggest I get started?”
That is a great question with a ton of opportunity. In the video above I answer her as best I can. I lay out three steps:
- Start with what you are passionate about
- Determine what you have expertise in
- Then figure out a way to monetize it
There are so many different ways to get started in affiliate marketing, but the most successful affiliates start out with doing what they love doing. I hope this helps.
Got a question – email me at Jamie AT JEBCommerce.com
