The one thing that you must know that we all start from zero. Everyone that has a big following online or offline all started from zero. When I started my YouTube channel, I had zero subs and now 5 years later, I have 3200 subs to that took me a while to get that much people subbed to my channel. So don’t think that you need any following to get started with affiliate marketing, you don’t but it does help to have some type of following. So how can we start affiliate marketing with no following at all?
How do I start affiliate marketing with no following at all?
So the first thing that you can do is start producing content today so you can start getting some traffic and a following. The social media planforms that I like to use YouTube, Tiktok and my blog here. Tiktok is free to use and YouTube is free to use as well. I would pick a niche that you want to do content about and do videos about that niche on YouTube and tiktok. The one tip I can give you is shoot your YouTube video and then upload to YouTube. Next take that YouTube video content and reuse that content to make a tiktok so you are making a YouTube video and with that sane video you are making a tiktok one min video.
Yes you can start affiliate marketing right now with no following but as soon as you sign up with an affiliate network, you need to start producing some content everyday if you can. The next tip is before even signing up with an affiliate network, start making some content online to get started. Getting people following will take some time so get started today. One tip is to take one piece of content and share that content on every social media planform that you can. So make a YouTube video and share that video on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and make that content into a tiktok video.
I would make an schedule on when yo upload content online and for me I post 1 new blog post per day, I do 3 videos on both of my YouTube channel, I post about 5 videos on tiktok, I post 5 to 6 Pinterest pins per week. If you can this for 2 months, you will start to see a following behind you as long as you produce content every week if you can. To give you an example, I started tiktok on December 21 2020 and at the time of me writing this post it’s been one month and I have 56 followers right now and I am making only one min videos in my share time. to tell you the truth, I shoot my YouTube video and then upload and while this is uploading to YouTube, I will make a tiktok about that YouTube video. By the time my tiktok video is made and uploaded, that YouTube video is done with the uploading to YouTube. Once you have following, you can start promoting your affiliate offers to them.
So that’s the free way to make money and affiliate marketing with no following at all but there is another way to do this and that way is called paid traffic. With paid traffic, you don’t need no following at all, all you need is some money to invest. Paid traffic is the way to go if you want to make money with affiliate marketing online with no following at all. I like to use Bing ads and Pinterest ads for paid traffic. Please be sure that if you are using paid traffic that you collect the email addresses of the people that is seeing your ad.
I use Aweber for my email service and now that have landing pages so you can buy the traffic and collect their email so you can promote your affiliate offers to them and build a email list. With the email list, you can promote affiliate offers to them but you must build you list first and that takes time. It takes time to build a following but if you start right now, you will be ahead of everyone else right now.
So here’s how you start affiliate marketing with no following at all. First you start posting content on YouTube, tiktok and Facebook and try to do this everyday. About a month or so you may start seeing some people start to follow you. Just keep on posting content and help people when you can with your content. Once you build up enough followers with your content, then you can start affiliate marketing but you may not need to wait that long. The next thing that you can do is use paid traffic or paid ads to get your affiliate marketing program in front of people and with paid traffic you don’t need no followers to make any money. I would say to collect the email of the people that is clicking on your ad.
Just keep in mind that we all start from zero and we had to start from somewhere. If you don’t have the money to start buying traffic, then using free traffic and posting content is your best bet you over time if you stay consistent with posting content, overtime you should see some people following. I mention tiktok because the video are 15 seconds or one min long and you can do 10 videos a day in a short amount of time. tiktok is big right now and the time is now to get started and that is the main thing that you have to do. Just start and make your first video on YouTube and then keep making videos.
If you don’t have any following, then start building that following today and don’t waste time with things that will not help you gain more followers. It took me a long time to get where I am at today and I am still making content everyday that I can. This is how you can make money online with affiliate marketing with no followers at all.
