Affiliate marketing can change your life. But if you’re just getting started, there’s a good chance you’re making it harder than it needs to be.
Not because it’s complicated, but because most people chase the wrong things, listen to the wrong advice, and overlook what actually matters.
Here are the three things you need to know before starting affiliate marketing.
1. You Don’t Need to Fake Authority
When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need to look like an expert. Like no one will take you seriously unless your content is flawless and you already seem successful.
But here’s the thing, people don’t care how perfect you look, they care about how much you can help them.
You don’t need a huge following or years of experience. You just need to show up honestly, share what you know, and explain things in a way that makes someone’s life easier.
If you can do that, people will listen. And eventually they will click.
2. Going Viral Isn’t the Goal—Consistency Is
You might be tempted to chase trends, hoping that one post blows up and puts you on the map.
That almost never works.
What does work is showing up daily. Writing helpful content. Posting with purpose. Not trying to “win the internet,” but focusing on creating trust over time.
You don’t need one viral hit, you need a body of work that compounds.
3. Selling Isn’t Sleazy—If You Believe in What You Promote
A lot of beginners hold back from promoting because they don’t want to seem pushy. Maybe you’ve felt that too…like “selling” means scamming.
It doesn’t.
If you’ve found a product or course that actually helped you, and you know it can help others too, why wouldn’t you share it?
Selling with integrity doesn’t feel like selling. It feels like serving. When you believe in what you promote, it shows, and people respond.
And if you’re ready to start doing affiliate marketing the right way, not with hype or gimmicks, but with strategy and honesty, I put together a guide that can help.
It’s called the Affiliate Marketing Blueprint, and it’s a straight-to-the-point guide that walks you through how to get started, how to get your first clicks, and how to build momentum (even if you don’t have a big audience).
