I struggled for years because I didn’t know the right direction, or the right strategies. I’m going to share the strategies which have made my progress with an online business, much faster. Here’s a few strategies which will make the journey much faster, if you start the journey of affiliate marketing. More on how fast this will take later on..

Digital Products

The same amount of effort is required to sell a variety of different items on the internet. As long as you get your target audience right, you’ll be able to sell products. So if that’s the case, why choose low value products which only give you a small percentage of commission?

Some physical products, for example only pay 3-10% commission on sales. You would need to sell continuously in order to make this work as an affiliate. Digital products on the other hand can pay out up to 50% commissions. By choosing digital products, you are already far ahead of the potential commissions you would have made having chosen physical products. Choose digital.

Subscription Products – How Fast Can You Make Money With Affiliate Marketing?

Firstly you need to define ‘make money’ when you start your affiliate business. It’s not enough to make a single sale. Ideally, you want a business which can grow and far exceed your current income. When I started out, I focused on this single sale! It was my goal! Once I achieved it, I was still pretty broke! Set a larger goal and you can achieve far more. Your motivation levels can, in part, determine how quickly you can replace your existing income. If you’re desperate to escape your 9 to 5 job, your reasoning can help you achieve it faster than if you’re just looking casually and your situation isn’t so expedient.

Subscription products are another big key to making affiliate marketing pay. With ‘one off’ products you only get paid once. With subscriptions you get paid again and again for your previous sales. Selling just 10 subscriptions at $20 per month each can give you $200 a month. Selling 100 of these will give you $2000 a month! Even if you stopped advertising at this point, you will continue earning for those who maintain their subscriptions.

Putting this money back into your business, and not living off it, can be another major ‘key’ to your business growth.

High Ticket Products – How Fast Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

High ticket products are products which sell for a much larger amount than the standard affiliate products many affiliates sell online. With digital products, you can also earn larger commissions. You would need to sell many $100 items in order to make al living from your 40% commissions. If you chose to sell $2000 items instead, you’ll earn $800 on a sale. Choose $20,000 items to sell and you can earn $8000 on a sale.

Using high ticket items is another game changing decision which can allow your online business to grow and produce an income much faster. It also of course comes down to the steps you take and how dedicated you are in making your online business work. More on this later.

Up-Sells – What Are up-Sells And How Does This Speed Up Affiliate Marketing Progress?

An up-sell is the action of selling a product to an existing customer. You’re probably heard an up-sell at Burger King or McDonald’s. “Do you want fries with that?” is an up-sell. Up-sells work for affiliate marketing too. If you choose a sales funnel with a range of products, you can benefit from later sales made to your customers by an in-house sales team who close sales on your behalf.

Multi-tier sales are commissions made on sales made by your referrals. Multi-tier sales are another option for some sales funnels with high ticket products in them. The Six Figure Mentors offers a multi-tier sales option for those who join at a partner level.

As you make sales of memberships and your referrals go on to also make sales, you earn commissions based on their success. Multi-tier is another way of speeding up your progress and adding another commission structure to your earning power.

You do of course need to make the sales in the first place and positioning yourself at the top level of the commission structure is in no way a guarantee of successfully making sales.

Marketing Your Sales Funnel – How Fast Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

Lets assume you’ve got a ready made sales funnel with all the bells and whistles:

• Subscription products
• Up-sells
• A built in sales team
• High ticket sales
• Multi-tier sales

Depending on where you position in such a commission structure (See Six Figure Mentors Cost), you can access some or all of theses benefits. With a variety of earning structures within your sales funnel, you can make far faster progress with affiliate marketing than by choosing the wrong products to promote.

How you promote your sales funnel will in large part determine the speed of your success. Of course there are other factors too. Running an advert is no guarantee of success. Your mindset and determination are also factors. Your monthly marketing budget will also play its part.

How Fast Can I Get Results With Affiliate Marketing?

We all want results with our affiliate marketing business. But answering this question is pretty tough. With the above sales structure, a good attitude and with a community of people on hand to help, this can still take between 6 months and year given all the right circumstances such as:

• Time to work on your business daily
• A monthly budget for marketing
• The right attitude and mindset
• A strong work ethic

With no marketing budget, this can set you back some time. I struggled for a few years trying to make affiliate marketing work with only using content marketing. You can still get results, but it will be harder and take longer. Plus, you need to be very disciplined and work very hard at it.

With paid marketing strategies you still have no guarantee of a timeframe. You’re likely to get your first few adverts wrong.

You may focus on the wrong activities and delay making difficult decisions or taking bigger steps out of your comfort zone such as creating video content or using paid marketing.

The Gym Analogy

So, depending on your circumstances and attributes, building an internet business can take some time. If you decide you’ll never quit and have a ‘can do’ attitude, you’ll eventually get there. You still need to learn from your mistakes and let go of any entitlement attitudes which you may have. It’s still a business and you need to take 100% responsibility for all of your successes and failure.

It’s a little like getting a gym membership and expecting the membership alone to give you the results you want. It never happens if you don’t go to the gym and diligently work out. Some people will have an amazing body in a few months, others will be exactly where they are now. It depends on your attitude and work ethic.

If you work hard and focus on a specific goal, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to start earning a regular income from affiliate marketing within 6 months to a year. However, the statistics show that 90% of new affiliate marketers will drop out.
