Why Affiliate Marketing Crushes Every Other Passive Income Strategy
And where you'll find the big clue to your passive income opportunities that most people miss!
Let me ask you a question:
When you’re going through a tough time in your personal life…
When your self-worth is shaky…
When your leads and sales have slowed and your income has dipped…
Does that affect your ability to show up publicly online, put yourself out there and attract clients?
Do you retreat behind the scenes, put your head down and crack on with client work?
Does selling your work feel inauthentic - like you’re faking it?
Yes?
Me too.
Here’s 5 reasons why I believe authentic affiliate marketing the strategy that crushes every other passive income strategy:
Reason #1: You don’t need to be in Main Character Energy to sell and make money.
The passive income streams typically recommended for online business owners revolve around you making your own courses and digital products.
When you’re not feeling it, telling people your own work is brilliant feels tricky.
However, even in those time, there is one thing you do - consistently….
… tell people about things you’ve bought and like.
And that’s what authentic affiliate marketing is!
Reason #2: You don’t have to create new products or courses.
When you have a chronic illness or lots of other commitments going on in your life, you have to be mindful of how you use your time and energy.
Which means, you might not have the capacity to invest the time into planning a new digital product or course to generate a passive income.
Focusing on authentic affiliate marketing means you don’t have to.
Reason #3: One the customer has bought, your work is done.
When you sell your own digital products, courses or online programs, launching and getting paid is the START of your workload.
Now you have to create and deliver what you have sold alongside managing the customer service and support behind the scenes.
With authentic affiliate marketing, once the customer has bought, your work is done.
Reason #4: You can succeed with a small audience.
To generate a decent income online selling your own offers, you need a growing audience.
It can take some time to position yourself as an authority in your space and build enough of a following.
Another reason I love authentic affiliate marketing is that you don’t need to wait until you become well known to thousands of people before you can make 4 or 5 figures online.
One conversation with one person could earn you £1000 when you share your recommendation for a £2k online program paying 50% commission.
One conversation a month could bring you a recurring passive income of several hundred pounds when you recommend a membership or software/tool with a monthly subscription.
Obviously, the bigger your engaged audience, the greater the income potential.
You can start small and still do very well.
Reason #5: Your genuine excitement creates your momentum to share what you found.
50% of the population are driven by their emotional state.
Remember when I said at the start of this post how, when you feel emotionally wobbly, it can be tricky to show up in Main Character Energy?
That' affects HALF of us! It’s true for me.
So, you are not alone if you nodded your way through that list.
For us, authentic affiliate marketing turns your emotional state into jet fuel for your income potential.
Recently, I discovered a new AI content writing tool.
As a copywriter, I am usually dismissive of generative AI content tools, like ChatGPT, but decided to try it anyway.
I was blown away.
And now I keep feeding ideas for social media posts into it and going giddy over how good the first drafts are.
My excitement makes promoting it effortless.
The ‘marketing’ part of my authentic affiliate marketing of it feels as natural as writing a post about a book I read.
That’s why you’ll love authentic affiliate marketing.
Making a steady income each month will feel natural and fun.
