The first thing to know is that 99% of people fail at affiliate marketing because they don't realise how much hard work it is. If you're determined and ready to build something of your own then you might make it though.

See, people seem to have this preconceived notion that you can just start advertising another companies site and you'll be paid an everything will be hunky-dory. Thing is, how are you going to promote the company in the first place?

Thing 1 to know: Affiliates come SECOND

You should really have something you're passionate about first and are trying to build into a successful business before you think about affiliate marketing. I see this question here a lot How do I get into affiliate marketing/How do I make money in affiliates bla bla bla... It always strikes me that affiliate marketing should come SECOND. The business should come first.

What's the business? Well, that's up for you to decide, it could be a blog, youtube channel or Instagram account. You're going to have to have something to say before people click your links.

Thing 2 to know: Have something to SAY

In it's purest form you will be selling a product. This will be through reviews and recommendations. You could do a travel blog about your experiences around Europe and include a link to Skyscanner. You've got to travel around Europe though!

You might think a website designing software is good and review its features, then attach an affiliate link in the write-up. However, what's the point of reviewing one product, you need to at least do 5, so now you got to buy and use all of them, which is time-consuming and expensive.

My point is, make something engaging and interesting! Something that is actually going to give people benefit.

Thing 3 to know: Do your RESEARCH

It's great that you've posted on Reddit but let me tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg! You need to know what you're getting into before you start down this road. I already said that you should make the business FIRST so have a look at resources around doing that.

Here are some useful articles:

Blog- Starting a Blog or r/Blogging or Google Search- Starting a Business

Blog- Becoming an Instagram Influencer or r/influencermarketing or Google Search- Starting an Instagram Business

Starting a youtube business or there's probably a subreddit for that but I couldn't find it.

I'd ask some questions on the subreddits on starting a blog and such. That will put you in a good starting position.

Way way way down the line, when you've made your amazing blog/channel or have a bunch of followers you can then start to promote products. When this happens you should start to do your research again- I would recommend a couple of blogs and resources:

Blog - High Paying Affiliate Programs - This actually gets updated regularly so I'm confident you can come back to it at a later date and it will still be relevant. There are literally thousands of articles on google, this one has over 100 programs though so it's a good place to start, or you could just Google - Best ??? Affiliate Programs

r/Affiliatemarketing - you could ask the question back on this subreddit when you're ready, and people should be able to help you out.

The Affiliate Monkey - This is an affiliate comparison tool, if you want to know which programs pay the most or offer the best products then it's useful. You need to know what industry you're going to promote though,

Final thoughts

I think the reason this industry has such a high drop off rate is that people think it will be easy and they can't be bothered to put in the effort and grow something that they actually care about. Don't be that person!

Be thankful at you get to a stage in your business that you have enough loyal followers that you can start making money from the products you're promoting. But you have to get to that stage first and growing a business is hard.

Good Luck
