My 5 Golden Rules to TRULY Earn Money Online with Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate Marketing is one of the best ways to make passive income. Unfortunately, most people fail at it, and
the reason is cause they don’t follow a few basic rules.
I'm gonna list the 5 rules I follow to choose what products to promote, and how to make it work!
If you prefer to watch the video, with screenshots and deeper tips, click here.
#1 – PREFER RECURRING PAYMENT PRODUCTS
I rarely affiliate for single-payment products. I definitely prefer recurring payment products, especially the
ones that are difficult to quit!
Don’t worry, I’m not promoting drugs.
I’m affiliated to software like Teachable, ActiveCampaign and Elementor. There are a few things these tools
have in common.
They need to be paid monthly or annually.
Moving to a competitor or quitting them is difficult.
Let me give you an example.
If I create my website and all my landing pages with Elementor, it will take me a long time to move to a
competitor. I will need to recreate all my pages with the new tool. In the same way, if I quit paying for
Elementor, I won’t have the possibility to modify the pages I created with it.
Or take Teachable. I have my online courses on it, and all the content is uploaded on the platform. Moving to a
competitor means a lot of work to migrate all my content, and quitting the service would mean deactivating
my courses.
These 2 characteristics combined assure you a recurring commission and a low probability that users will
quit paying for the service.
#2 – PRIORITISE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE LONG TIME
COOKIES
Cookies are online stalkers. They track your clicks, and they recognise if someone bought a product because
of your recommendation. In this case through your affiliate link.
Most of the people anyway don’t pay attention if a program offers short time or long time cookies. To be
more precise, let’s assume someone uses your affiliate link, but she doesn’t buy. Then she revisits the page

main your affiliate link and buys the product. If the purchase was made1within the cookie time, you
content
get a commission anyway. Create
Amazon, for example, offers just 24-hour cookies on regular affiliate links. I suggest you promote only
products that offer long time cookies.
Search for this info in the detail page, and usually is well hidden like those tiny texts at the bottom of contracts
that end up fucking up your life.
#3 – CHOOSE PRODUCTS YOU ALREADY USE
If you’re familiar with a product and you use it consistently, you could teach how to use it and keep users
paying for it.
It’s always a great idea to publish tutorials and guides on how to use the products you promote. If you
have a YouTube Channel or a blog, they’re great channels to educate your followers on how to use those
products productively.
As I said, I’m an affiliate for Elementor, and you can find a lot of videos on my channel where I promote it and
share tips on how to use it.
#4 – PROMOTE THEM JUST WHEN THERE ARE DISCOUNTS
Apart from the affiliate links you may have in your articles or videos, you should promote those products via
email or ads, just when these products are running discounts.
Target only your warm audience, people who read or watch your content.
It’s firstly a way to award your followers. Those discounts are a win-win situation. Plus, your followers are
well aware of the benefits of using those products and will be happy to spare some money.
If you want to take a look to a real case study, I’ve put up a document where I show you all the steps how I
promoted Elementor during the Black Friday offer using Facebook Ads and Chatbots.
#5 – SIGN TO THOSE PRODUCTS NEWSLETTERS
If you want to promote a product, you definitely need to sign up for their newsletter.The reason is cause when
they’re gonna launch a promotion, you’ll be the first to know it.
Sometimes they even send you content that you can use for the advertising.

Solid Piece of Information going on here. Thanks for sharing. However, I would like to know two things
1. Have you Tried Launch Jacking? Promoted Products during the Launch Week through your Blogs
and Youtube channel? If yes, then how good or bad result have you seen with them?
2. Have you Promoted Affiliate Products through Paid methods like FB Ads, YouTube Ads or Solo Ads
or Display Network Ads like Taboola? If yes then how good result have you seen with paid ads?

Yes, I promoted a few products on launches (although I do it mostly on promotion) but just through
my email list. I didn’t use my blog or YouTube channel. I got different results depending on the
products.
I’ve used Facebook Ads to promote products discounts and I had amazing results, to say the truth. I
got around 3x ROI, but I have to say that I promoted just to warm audience.

Yes That could be the difference. Because Getting a Good ROI by Promoting Product to Cold
Audience using Facebook Ads seems very difficult nowadays unless you have a big budget to
split test different offers, ad copies and ad creatives to find out a winner campaign and then scale
it up. But it requires a lot of budget and also technical capabilities to track and split test
everything.

speaking of launch jacking, there was a post on here a while ago in which someone posted a website
that has a schedule of big upcoming digital product releases. do you know which site i'm talking
about by any chance? can't find it..
1
nkracademy • 5y ago •
It Could be MunchEye. It is the place where upcoming digital launches from WarriorPlus, JVZoo,
and ClickBank is Listed. It Appears that People with an Authority YouTube Channel or Big Email
Lists are Crushing on with these Launches but seems to be a competitive Affiliate Niche to me.

Great list, thank you for posting. There's are some good insights here.
how I promoted Elementor during the Black Friday offer using Facebook Ads and Chatbots
How many sign ups did that result in?

pickupchange OP • 5y ago •
You mean since I’ve posted here on Reddit?

I mean on Black Friday

pickupchange OP • 5y ago •
I got a dozen purchase there.

ear2theshell • 5y ago •
That hardly seems like a good return, unless you spent virtually no money and no time
doing that

You literally said that you used Facebook Ads. I'd love to know how you used FB
Ads without spending anything.

pickupchange OP • 5y ago •
No, the dozen purchases I made were through my email list. I thought you were
asking about it. For the technique I’ve used in the pdf, I tripled the investment
with Facebook Ads. If I’m not wrong, I think I spent around $800 for the entire
Black Friday Promotion. I should check the data to be more precise.

I'm just curious how much money you manage to do per month? I'm kust wondering if it's worth my time,
energy and money into affiliate marketing with recursive payments
2
pickupchange OP • 5y ago •
It all depends on the traffic you have on your content. But I didn’t start my Youtube channel to make
money with affiliate marketing. It’s just a secondary thing I use to make profit.

This is one of the rare posts on this subreddit that actually taught me something I might be able to use.
Beating myself up for not even considering looking for affiliates with recurring payments, smh.

Glad I gave you an idea mate! 👍

Best affiliate programs you can find are the ones that pay for the life of the account. Potential revenue for
life, and much more rewarding in general.

Can you give me an example?

SaaS (Software As A Service) programs are a good start. Anything requiring subscriptions - stuff
like Mailing List Platforms (GetResponse, AWeber), Course Software (Teachable), SEO Tools
(SEMrush, Mangools), Squeeze page/sales funnel subscription software like ClickFunnels,
Instapage, Leadpages etc... You'll get commission as long as the person you referred remains a
subscriber.
