One of the biggest hurdles people face when considering affiliate marketing is the fear of not knowing where to start and the reluctance to risk their money on costly courses. This is where I come in. Today, I’m excited to share with you an excellent method that requires no risk and no upfront investment — all you need is your time.

So, you might be wondering, how can you make money with no experience and no initial investment? The answer is affiliate marketing.

What affiliate marketing is?

Let me break down what affiliate marketing is in simple terms: It’s a performance-based marketing strategy where individuals or businesses earn a commission by promoting products or services of other companies. The first step is to apply for an affiliate program.

Now, you might be concerned about the application process, as some programs can take days to approve. But don’t worry — I’ll introduce you to a program called GetResponse, an email marketing platform that typically approves applicants immediately.

Here’s how you can apply:

1. Go to Google and search for GetResponse. You’ll find the link to their website.
2. Once on their website, scroll down to the bottom where you’ll find the section titled “Company Affiliate Program.”
3. Create an account using your Gmail, or I recommend using a new email specifically for this purpose.
4. Complete the registration process by providing your name, birth date, and other necessary details.
5. Check your Gmail for a verification email from GetResponse. Click on the verification link, and your affiliate account will be ready to use.

Now that your account is set up, you’ll be directed to the dashboard, where you can track your performance, such as the number of clicks and commissions earned. You’ll also receive a unique program link that looks something like this: [example link]. This link is what you’ll promote, and for every click, you’ll earn a commission.

But how do you drive traffic to your link?

There are numerous methods and tools available, and as promised, I’ll be sharing them with you for free in my next article. Stay tuned for strategies on how to effectively generate traffic and maximize your affiliate earnings.

And always remember, there are endless opportunities out there waiting for you to seize them
