You b

1. Speak english
2. Ask questions here, I don't want to get flooded with PM's

Yo! Bro

So far I have been accepted to 2 affiliate networks one terminated my account. Still trying to fill more affiliate applications. The thing I don't understand is you said something about we putting water marks on the image. I have secured some some nice images like someone owns the item but I don't quite understand that watermark part

You don't have to do this if you don't know how.
It's just photoshopping watermarks of your brand name on the product images to make it seem more legit than just copying them off amazon.

Keep applying to affiliate networks, you will get here! 2 is nog enough though, try at least 50 (different products and niches, you don't need to know anyhting about the product)

No problems bro.....I'm a Graphics designer and I know my way around the environment.

Still applying to more, hopefully the 2 I'm waiting on is going to be approved.

So like I should just come up with brand logo and put it on the image right

It's not amazon image. Its images snapped of people that own them, is that the one?

Funny story tho! I saw two products that I the image of on one I applied for

Sorry Quick question: let's say I get a buyer on an auction item on eBay is there like a message method I'd on the platfform I'd use to send the message to the buyer and doespecially it accept bit.ly links

If not what auction sites do you recommend

Thanks.

Hi @JVRZ Thanks for shearing this amazing startup moneymaking business,

i'm from Belgium too and i would like to know how do you avoid TVA by doing this in Belgium, are they ask you for tax number for affiliation?

Thanks

Some networks did and some didn't (amazon certainly does but the commissions are no longer worth it)
I would start of withdrawing to Paypal or skrill (you can get a free skrill card) for a small amount of money.
Some affiliate networks can pay you in BTC, but I don't like that so I did PayPal.
Taxes for entrepreneurs are getting delayed and might even not have to be paid so for now I would focus on making money.
Try to find affiliate networks that don't require your tax id. I am pretty sure Walmart, home depot and aliexpress didn't ask for one.

Thank you very much for your help!
I'll try to find some affiliate networks free of tax.

All the best and stay safe!

Does this method still work, I don't know where to start. Opened an eBay account but it got blocked. Advise me bro

This method will always work if you put in the manual work and find a affiliate network that allows what you are doing.

Ebay is hard for sure, have you tried facebook marketplace and craigslist? Or a local marketplace from your country?
The hardest part is finding an affiliate program that doesn't ban you after a couple of weeks/months and has decent payouts and conversion rates.
More and more people shop online now so there is money to be made with this method now.
Make sure the webshop you are affiliated with can deliver without too many problems!

Once you start getting bigger payouts you will need to contact an accountant and pay taxes and all that complicated stuff.
This method is just manual work for extreme beginners to get a foot in the door and make some money.
Once you start seeing results, try to look for affiliate marketing methods that are more passive or try to scale this even further.
I just felt like I wasn't learning any skills (besides sales and creating product listings that convert) that I could monetize long term.

Good luck!

OK....I was about to try craiglist...and get on that and get back to you

Quick question: let's say I list an item on craigslist, how would the person reach out to me that he wants to buy. Would they be like a message box for me to send him that message?

And I almost made a sale recently:
So this guy posts an ad that he want to buy a dumb bell and I reached out to him and told him stylishly that I had sold the one I had and sent him and affiliate link he almost bought till he found out that the dumell is being delivered by May so he backed out, I was this close.

Looked for him on eBay and he bought from there, I was really helpful to him too

What's your take on this and how can I advance with this method Bro?

That's good, you made a twist for this method, that's awesome!
Keep working and you will make some money.

Yes, usually people will reach out to you after creating an offer because they have some questions.
If not then you send them the message after they placed an offer saying that the item has already been sold on another marketplace but you bought it from here (affiliate link)
Try different messages and see wich ones convert best.

Hey dude, how can I have an affiliate link?

 

[JVRZ]

Hey dude, how can I have an affiliate link?

You sign up to an affiliate network (google the product you want to promote + affiliate program)
Then you want to fill in some basic information and wait until they accept you.
Once you are in the affiliate network you can browse the products and if there is one you are interested in, you click "get link"
Please check cookie duration and commissions as well.

Watch some video's like "affiliate marketing for beginners" and read some articles to get a basic understanding of the business model, it is hard to explain like this.

 

[Apostorial]

Okey dude thanks for your time

 

[WebTG]

Great method, this can work extremely well if executed properly.

 

[Jstrydor]

Love this method and as a long time lurker this is my first "actually going to try it" post. Thank you for helping give me something relatively easy on a newcomer like me to learn some of the basics. My question is about the affiliate program, specifically clickbank. It's my understanding that anyone can sign up for clickbank, would this method work with them? Or is there any drawback to using clickbank specifically? I read through the entire thread and didn't see it mentioned. Thanks again!

Clickbank could work but most offers look pretty scammy in my opinion.
I wouldn't recommend starting off with digital products because they are way harder to pull off.
Stick to affiliate programs like Walmart, home depot, amazon, small and big brands,..... at least to start.
You will get easier conversions than digital products.
I don't know if Clickbank does physical products as well though...
Take a look at shareasale and jvzoo aswell.
Googling "product or brand name + affiliate program" will get a lot of results too, don't just look at the major brands. Their affiliate programs are more strict and harder to get into I have found.
Good luck!

Does ebay allow pm's with affiliate links? Isn't selling outside their plateform against their TOS, won't they suspend your account for doing that? Do you paste affiliate links directly or through an url shortener?
