I remember when I started my trials on making money online, I watched almost every video on YouTube just to find something that would work for me. Guess what, just like any other person starting in this field, I was looking for something that would work immediately. That is the worst mistake you should make. Please, if you are new to making money online, take the hard decision and look for a strategy that will work in the long run. More about this later. Let me get to why you are here.
Today I'll share an affiliate marketing strategy case study showing you the way I earned $25 in just twenty-four hours! Essentially, I did this by promoting an affiliate product with native ads.
Keep on reading to learn what native ads are and what they entail. From the network to the campaign, the ad, and the product, repeating my method can make you cash online!
Objective: This case study can show you the best and quickest method to start and earn through affiliate marketing.
About affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing entails you promoting a product that belongs to another person and getting a commission when it is purchased. What this means is you don’t have to have a product yourself. They are all available waiting for you to promote them. There are three steps to this method and I will go over each one of them in detail so you can be able to do this yourself.
Step 1: Finding an affiliate product that pays per lead.
An affiliate that pays per lead means every person that is directed by you to the product you are promoting doesn’t have to buy the product, they only need to sign up and you will have your commission.
For this case study, I chose Swagbucks which is one of the best products I found and met the criteria. In most of the affiliate products out there, you will have to have a good website that has enough content to convince them to allow you to work as an affiliate. But with Swagbuck, you can start as soon as now and start making money on it in the next one hour. So head on to their site https://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=112006990, register, get your link and find some people to sign up and start earning money on this. If you have friends who you are sure would like to make some money online, get them to sign up and see where this takes you.
Advertising the product on a blog.
In this blog, you will realize that every time I mention GetResponse, I put a link in the name. This is so that if you are interested in finding the site, you can just click on the name and be taken to their official site with my referral link. This way I can get paid when you do so. You can also place other links in the same blog if you mention other products and you have registered with them as an affiliate marketer.
Get traffic to the product for free.
There are several ways you can do this, one of them is mentioned above. If you have people visiting your website, then you have the chance of using the site to get people to click on your link. This way you are not paying anything. The other methods would be to use Facebook ads, YouTube ads, google ads, or Quora ads.
There is also another method, which is more effective but will need some investment. This method is way better and will surely get you the clicks you want. This method is called Native ads.
What are Native Ads?
First of all, let me explain what native ads are. To use a random visual example, take a look at CNN.com; if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will find the paid content section.
This section is for paid ads or native ads. As you can see, the paid content section is recommended by Outbrain, a native ad network.
The special thing about native ads is that they look like a normal post; the shape and design of native ads are chosen to avoid interfering with the website’s look and design.
Creating a Native Ad
To create your own native ad, you need to choose a native ad network and then promote the affiliate product. Some examples of native ad networks to choose from are:
- Outbrain
- mgid.com
- Revcontent
In this case study, I chose mgid.com. I recommend you choose mgid.com since this case study aims to have readers copy my methods and get similar results, but you can select one of the aforementioned networks if you’d like or do some research and pick out a network that best suits you.
Now that you understand what native ads are and you’ve chosen which advertising network you want to use, it is time to discuss promoting the product, choosing the budget, and the revenue.
Conclusion
I want to emphasize one thing, do not live page and go again looking for another website on how to make money online. Why do I say so? Because that is what you will be doing for a very long time before you make a decision on what to do to get out of your financial constraints.
