Thinking to start a blog and establish a career in this field? As simple as that! Firstly, you need to choose your domain name (like we did for “Fintrakk”), purchase the hosting name (Fintrakk.com) and start writing.

5. Become an Affiliate Marketer:

What is Affiliate marketing? A method of earning income by promoting someone else’s products or services. In simple terms, if a business gets leads and conversions and earns profit through your marketing techniques, then you earn a percentage of sales as commission.

Let me explain the affiliate marketing money cycle here:

• You start your own blog or website in a specific niche
• You enable ads of a product or service in your portal or page or platform
• You put a Call to Action (Visit Client’s page or Buy the Product/service)
• Your subscriber or visitor of the page clicks on such ads
• The member buys such product or services
• The sale is tagged in your name and you ultimately earn your income through.

Some of the popular affiliate networks used are Clickbank, Shareasale, JVzoo, Hotmart, Clickbooth, Ads 4 Dough, Commission Junction, Amazon Affiliate Program, and eBay Partners Program.

Affiliate Marketing Tip of the Day:

It seems simple linking of ads to your platform, but the activity involves deep research into product and services, understanding the current ongoing trends and interests of general public to choose the correct set of ads plug-ins. Ah! It’s not as simple as it looks! You must have an audience willing to purchase the products/services that you promote.
