I’m happy to introduce to you another guest on TBC today, His name is Alvin and I’ve known him for some time now which made me believe that he is indeed knowledgeable and has some time to share with you. You will read more about him in the author bio below. Let’s enjoy his tips.
Are you still craving for Affiliate Marketing Success? If you want to succeed in the world of Affiliate Marketing then you will have to learn how to create unique and innovative solutions into this industry.
Instead of doing everything the same way as everyone else, you will have to create a different approach and do it better. This is the best way to approach affiliate marketing and will help you win against your competitors in the long run. Here are some great tips that can help you succeed in the world of affiliate marketing:
Affiliate Marketing Success
Tip #1: Be Original
The first step to success as an Affiliate Marketer is to be original! If you are going to copy something from another Affiliate Marketing then think about how you can improve on it and make it better. If everyone in your niche is doing the same thing then it will get over-saturated and you will see a decrease in sales. Therefore, rise above all of the newbie copycats and develop a sense of originality! You will reap more rewards by being unique and original rather than boring & the same!
Tip #2: Have a Solid Plan
In order to be a successful Affiliate Marketer, you are going to need a solid plan. You can’t just start a blog and expect to make money the very next week. And you can’t just purchase advertisements and expect to make a profit from it the next day. You are going to need a solid plan otherwise you will end up wasting time & money. Remember, if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

Tip#3 Stop Learning, Start Doing
You’ve probably purchased tons of courses! You’ve spent hours learning and watching videos and you pretty much know it all! Well, what you need to do is stop absorbing information and start taking action! You will never see results if you don’t do. Doing is a better way of learning as you are applying what you know into actuality. You will never know until you try so get out of your comfort zone and start taking action!
Tip #4: Relationships Are Important
On the internet, building relationships is important, especially for Affiliate Marketers. Sometimes in life, it’s not about what you know, it’s about who. The relationships that you build now can help you reap the rewards later in your online career. Try to build as many relationships as possible even if you don’t see the point in doing so. Also, you should be learning off of those who are already successful in your niche as there is a lot to learn from successful people.
Tip #5: Don’t Give Up, Play Things Smart
If you give up then you will never be successful. If you dream of having an affiliate marketing success thereby making a stable income online through Affiliate Marketing then I’m going to tell you right now, that it’s gonna be tough. But if you think about it, the successful people are the ones who sucked it up and didn’t quit. Anyway successful Affiliate Marketer will tell you that they failed a lot more times than they succeeded. Entrepreneurs are people who live a few years of their life like nobody wants too so that they can live the rest of their lives like nobody can.
That’s all for now and, thanks for reading :).

I think tip no.5 is important one. Today online marketing has made many affiliate marketers do the same thing since information widely spread. If we want to be success then we must not give up easily because we do realize the competition is high and that is why we need to be smart.
Alvin Chadwick says
Thanks for the reply and I agree, those who give up easily will never taste success!

Thanks for the visit Okto,
I’m happy you enjoyed the post
Harleena Singh says
Hi Alvin, and welcome to Theodore’s blog 🙂
Although I am not into Affiliate marketing nor do I sell anything, but I do know many friends who are into it so I can well relate to it. Yes, you do need to be original and have your own way or voice of saying what you want to. If you don’t chances are rare that anyone would be able to relate to you.
Relationships matter in anything I think, and if you cannot build relationships with others, there would be no trust, upon which is based everything, especially if you are wanting to sell something, isn’t it? Your last point is the most important because if you give up, you really have lost it. I guess it makes sense to keep trying and being right there till you achieve success, after all Rome wasn’t built in a day!
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week, both of you 🙂
Alvin Chadwick says
Thanks for the reply, Harleena and yes, relationships and not giving play an important role in Affiliate Marketing. I think that all Affiliate Marketers who are just starting out quickly learn that developing some level of trust will help get you more sales than trying to market without first obtaining trust.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks a lot Harleena,
I’m glad you like what Alvin said here and, I’m sure you will try affiliate marketing some day because, i know you can do it very well 🙂
Ryan Biddulph says
#3 is the way to go Alvin. Act now. Learn on the run. The quickest and easiest way to succeed online is by embracing uncomfortable moments and moving forward. Awesome share.
Alvin Chadwick says
Yea, some people will spend all of their time learning and they never apply what they’ve learned!
Theodore Nwangene says
You’re right Ryan,
And, i can’t agree more :), thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
Bashir Ahmed says
Hi Alvin,
Nothing new in this post but I liked the way you mentioned these tips. Number #1 tip is what we need to focus. I’ve seen lot of affiliate markerts are doing the same thing that’s why readers don’t trust on them.
Building the trust and relationship with fellow bloggers and readers is the key of success. Provide them best products that you’ve tested and used for yourself. Don’t try to cheat always be honest and be clear.
I don’t agree with number #3 Tip: Stop learning, start doing.
Don’t stop yourself to learn new things, this is internet world and I Believe that there are so many super affiliate markerts are doing good job, we should learn from them. Learn Learn and learn. I’m not saying that don’t act but act as you’ve learned, if you failed then learn from your mistakes – Again LEARN!
Thanks for sharing!
Alvin Chadwick says
Hey, thanks for the reply and I agree with you. I think that 20% of time should be spent learning and 80% doing.
Theodore Nwangene says
So happy to have you here again Bashir,
Yea, i agree with all your points but, i also think that its better to learn less and practice more because, it will do anyone no good to learn about all the informations out there without putting them to use, it will only become an activity.
And yes, its also good to choose the people you listen else, you will become confused too as a lot of people will even be saying different things and at the end, you might not know which one to follow.
Thanks for coming once again my man 🙂
Yesh Quijano says
I do believe that tip number 5 is the most important. I am actually guilty of failing to follow tip number 5. I have created a website which earns through affiliate sales but after a few weeks of nothingness, I got frustrated and just quit. Sometimes it’s the motivation that makes or breaks your business. I really should work on that! Thanks for the article by the way.
Alvin Chadwick says
Thanks for the reply, and yes, being motivated will definitely help! What I usually do for motivating myself from time to time is watching inspirational videos of successful people. It really helps out!
Theodore Nwangene says
You’re right Yesh,
Motivation really matters in anything we do and that’s why we should always try and find ways to get it in order to get things going because, quitting will never be the best option :). Thanks for coming Yesh and go and get back to work.
Lisa says
Alan – great point to just do it as Nike had branded that slogan. Too many wait for action and wait for perfection to come. Following up is another action that many get lazy with. Your 5 points are all important. Have a great day and you too Theodore!
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Lisa,
I sincerely appreciate the visit :), you have a great day too
Alvin Chadwick says
Thanks for the reply, Lisa, glad you find this post meaningful!
