But is it all that easy?

No. of course.

But the good news is that if you have the determination and are willing to put in the time and effort, you will be on the right track for affiliate marketing success.

In this article, I want to share something about the world of affiliate marketing. About the models that many people are implementing with affiliate marketing.

Participating in affiliate marketing means you have to be brave warriors. Do not be afraid of difficulties and hardships. Persist until your goal is achieved.

Affiliate marketing and psychology lessons

Making money from affiliate marketing is real or just a myth?

There is no need to argue about this. And this topic becomes obsolete. Why?

Because there are too many successful people with affiliate marketing out there. It’s not difficult to cite a few examples. For example shoutmeloud.com helped an Indian blogger earn over $30,000 a month from affiliate marketing.

The bottom line, to achieve such success bloggers’ authors went through a very difficult time at first. Making money in general is not easy, making money from affiliate marketing is even more difficult.

Behind many bloggers’ aura of success are those hard early days that they sometimes don’t even mention.

This is the reality of affiliate marketing:

You have to be mentally prepared for something crazy. Working hard for many months without earning any money. Personally, it took me many months to see the first dollars:

Affiliate marketing is an area that requires perseverance. Those who succeed in affiliate marketing are truly brave warriors.

They persisted in following their plan. And be willing to change, and learn from failures.

In short, to pursue this arduous marketing path you need perseverance, passion and determination. And an open mind. Accept defeat. Because each time you fail, you know that you are getting closer to the goal of success.

The knowledge baggage of an affiliate marketer

Becoming an affiliate marketer, you have to learn a lot of knowledge. Of course, you can’t just stuff a bunch of knowledge into your head all at once. Doing this way is easy to fire and enter ghosts.

As with all fields, knowledge and experience will be gained when you practice or put into action. The more you practice, the more knowledge you gain. And the more you mature in the field of affiliate marketing.

But there are some knowledge you need to prepare first

Website building and management

There are many ways to get started with affiliate marketing. But building a website is still the most popular and sustainable way. Through your website, you build a loyal audience.

People with whom you will change their lives by sharing, providing them with valuable knowledge. In return, they will trust you to use the products you recommend.

But the thought of building a website right now numbs you. Simply, you tell yourself that you are not a technical person. I don’t know the code.

In fact, building a website is really not as complicated as you think.

WordPress is the most popular platform for creating a personal website. And using WordPress is extremely simple. For example, installing WordPress usually takes only a few hours. Sometimes only in minutes if you are proficient.

There are many Vietnamese websites that provide you with WordPress knowledge. And is one of them. In a few weeks, you will have enough basic knowledge about using and administering WordPress.

SEO knowledge

SEO is knowledge that helps you improve your website’s ranking in Google’s search results.

You don’t have to become an SEO expert. But SEO knowledge is still important if you don’t want your website to sink into the cold darkness of Google. And readers will never find your page.

To learn about SEO, you don’t necessarily have to take part in learning about SEO. You can go to Google to find out. On , I also try to provide basic articles about SEO.

Knowledge of SEO is very vast. But first, you should understand on-page SEO. And learn how to use Yoast SEO plugin .

Good news for you, from my practical experience, if you make a website in Vietnamese to serve people in the country, you can easily get good rankings in Google. Because many fields in Vietnam, the competition is still very low.

Even if you start today, you could be the first to pave the way. Take for example Linh Trang with her culinary blog sweetdays.com .

If many years ago when starting to write about fruit cake, surely Trang would not have imagined that her current blog has become the leading food blog in Vietnam.

4 models for an affiliate marketing site

Perhaps, you are still confused with affiliate marketing. In other words, you’re still thinking: ” How to get started with affiliate marketing .”

Ok, I will give you 4 models for an affiliate marketing site for you to study. Imitating those who came before is still the most popular route.

Of course, to be successful you need to be creative.

But the models I provide below are good suggestions for you to get started with affiliate marketing

1. Create a website that offers a discount code (coupon)

Creating a website that offers discount codes or promotions is becoming a trend. Most of you joining the affiliate marketing network AccessTrade, Masoffer, Civi , Yeah1 are eager to open a series of discount sites.

Successful people also have examples such as magiamgia.com, offers.vn. But surely there are many losers.

The obvious advantage of making a discount code page is how simple it is to do it. In general, the articles merely provide discount codes.

You don’t need to put a lot of gray matter in it. I mean with other articles you need to invest time doing general research before you start writing.

Of course, as a coupon page, you have to spend time searching for coupons. In particular, you must always update coupons and discounts. Keep the information on your site up to date.

Only then will you be ahead of your competition.

Honestly, if you’re starting a coupon site, consider it very carefully.

Like I said, the coupon segment is very competitive. Your chances of succeeding like Magiamgia are certainly not much unless you have a large customer base in your hands.

Therefore, to be successful, you still need to add to your website a lot of valuable content, not just provide a discount code.

You also need to know that some affiliate programs are very allergic to coupon sites. Because they think their products will lose value when customers only buy because there is a discount code, without paying attention to the features of the product.

So if you do a coupon site, you should also pay attention to the terms when participating in marketing programs to avoid working for free. This is common in foreign marketing programs. As for Vietnam, you probably don’t have to worry about this problem.

2. Create a price comparison page

Talking about price comparison, you probably know the success of websosanh. But if you pay closer attention, in addition to the price comparison feature, this site offers a lot of reviews and tips for customers when shopping.

The idea of ​​comparing prices is not new, but it is also difficult to implement.

If you are just getting started with affiliate marketing, this model is not suitable. To create a price comparison site certainly requires a lot of resources while the risk is high.

3. Build a product review page

There are two types of product review pages in affiliate marketing

Mini product review site : These are review sites for only a single product or product line. This type of site is divided into 2 subtypes

Review Authority Site : are product review sites but on a larger scale. You do product reviews that fall under a broad category like technology.

This type of site requires you a lot of time. You need to create a lot of content and update it regularly. An example I can mention is the vnreview.vn page.

This site both provides reviews and technology news articles. It’s not easy for an individual to make these types of sites, is it?

In return with these authority sites, you reach a wide audience. Besides, the amount of organic traffic from Google is also large. Revenue results are also worse.

4. Create an affiliate marketing blog

This is the most suitable image for beginners with affiliate marketing like you.

In fact, making money through affiliate marketing from blogging is becoming a popular model these days. I have shared an article about investing in building a blog to earn money and save quality. Investing in a blog doesn’t have to be expensive.

The important thing here:

You must be willing to put in the time to provide your readers with valuable articles. Articles that change their lives, their way of thinking about an issue.

In other words, you create the best content that helps your readers solve their problems. Give them tips and knowledge that they can apply to improve their condition. Make their lives easier.

After you build trust in your readers, they will be ready to use the product you recommend.

The outstanding advantage of this model is that you can easily pull traffic from Google to your website. As I said in the SEO section, Vietnamese websites are easy to rank because in Vietnam the competition in many niche markets (or topics your blog intends to write about) is not high.

The obvious downside is that it takes time to build credibility and trust with your readers. This is the psychological time as I said in the beginning. You also need to know that you have to write a lot of articles that do not directly generate revenue.

Why?

Because those articles do not contain affiliate marketing. They simply help you build trust in your readers. They show your readers that you are an expert in their area of ​​interest.

Such content itself also helps you drive traffic and build email lists for email marketing later.

Epilogue

As you can see, making money from affiliate marketing is not easy. But with the models that I share in the article, you certainly have a direction if you intend to embark on affiliate marketing.

Honestly, affiliate marketing is still a piece of cake that is hard to chew but still very big for you in the Vietnamese market.

So let’s start now before there’s too much competition.
