Steps to Start An Affiliate Marketing Business

In today’s post, I am going to share with you the steps to start an Affiliate Marketing Business for $50 or less.

First step to start your affiliate marketing business, go sign up for a free account with Rakuten. Rakuten is an app that provides cash back when you spend money at certain stores or sites online. I have been using Rakuten for a while, and have received cash back.

Be sure to sign up with Rakuten today. Some of the tools and sites you will use to build your affiliate marketing business provide cash back through Rakuten, and you have to have it downloaded to grab the cash back. 

Now that you have Rakuten downloaded, let’s dive into how to build your affiliate marketing business.

Top Tools to Use in Your Affiliate Marketing Business

  1. Canva: There is a free and Pro version. I use the pro version for $12.95, and with Rakuten, Canva provides 35% cashback. I use Canva to create all my graphics for social media and blog. It is definitely beginner user friendly.
  1. Get Response: An email responder that will allow you to automate your affiliate marketing business. This service runs you around $15.00 a month.

  • You can schedule e-mails to go to your potential clients to nurture your relationship with them. 
  • You also can use your email list to offer new affiliate products that you find. Get Response has been the most user friendly email responder that I have used. 
  • You are able to create your optin funnels to collect email addresses also. 

3. Legendary Marketer Online Business Builder 15 Day Challenge:  When an online friend recommended that I join a challenge, not going to lie, I blew it off for a few weeks.  When I finally joined it, I am thankful I did.  It was one of the smallest investments I have ever made in my business BUT  filled with the most value. When you join the Legendary Marketer 15 Day Online Business Challenge today for a very small investment of just $7.00,  yes you read that right, JUST  $7.00

You will get…

  • 15 days of online training with the $250 million man, Dave Sharpe, on the nuts and bolts of building a successful and sustainable online business.  He delivers the training in a way that is not overwhelming to you but is just digestible enough that  you know what you need your next steps to be.  
  • You will learn the fundamentals of scaling a high ticket business in the right way, the top 3 high-income skills you need to develop to kill this online business and how to start making sales.

But, y’all that’s just the beginning.

  • You get a business plan that is fully customizable for you and your business, so you have a clear plan to follow to building and scaling your business with laser-sharp vision.
  • Done for you email templates so you can start following up with your leads and growing those relationships that will lead to sales on autopilot.
  • Done for you Facebook Ad Template– so you can craft rockstar ad copy faster and start generating leads and sales
  • Done for you video scripts to craft a highly effective and persuasive bridge video to introduce your leads to your affiliate product you are promoting.
  • Done for you phone script to never wonder what to say when it comes time to take the conversation to the phone to sell your high ticket item.
  • A-One to One Business Plan Advisor to walk you through the challenge, cheer you on, answer your questions, and just be there to help you.
  • A Done for you Funnel so there is no delay in you promoting products like a rockstar affiliate.

So with all three of those tools, the total cost is $35.00. Keep in mind, Canva and Get Response will be a monthly fee, but are tax deductible. (Always check with your accountant)
