After you have joined the afliate programs, the next step is to start integrating afliate marketing into your daily Facebook usage so that you can make some money!
Don't get ahead of yourself though.
You can't just go and start pasting your afliate links for random products all over Facebook. The most important thing to remember with afliate marketing on Facebook is....
Relevance
When you post an afliate link on Facebook it must be relevant to to the discussion, person or group that you are communicating with.
If you just start sending out random afliate links to anyone you come across on Facebook, without any thought as to what the ofer is and whether that person will be interested in it, then what you are doing is essentially spam.
And not only is it spam, but it's also a waste of your time.
If you are just sending out afliate links to random ofers that you don't even know if people are going to be interested in, then it is very unlikely they are going to buy anything.
On the other hand, if you are smart about what you do, and give people afliate links to products and services that are relevant to them, you can make a lot of money.
And as we discussed previously, Facebook makes it super easy for you to fnd out exactly what people are interested in, thinking about or feeling at any given moment.
From a persons Facebook account you can see at a glance:
• Status updates – Tell the story of exactly what is happening in a persons life at any given moment (having a baby, started a diet, going on a holiday etc.)
• Likes – Give a quick overview of what types of things people are interested in.
• Groups – People with similar interests all join together in a single group on Facebook so that you can easily reach out to a large group of people with a targeted ofer. Think about Facebook groups for people that want to lose weight, new parents, people looking to make money, cooking groups and many, many more.
Once you know what a group of people are interested in, it's easy to fnd and recommend products they may be interested in (with your afliate links).
• Apps And Games – Facebook allows you to see what apps and games people use on Facebook, which can give you great information about what else they might be interested in buying.
The 3 Steps To Making Money On
Step 1 – Identify an interest
The frst thing you need to do is fnd someone, or a group of people, on Facebook that you have identifed as having a specifc interest (through a status update, comment, like, group etc.).
You will come across these all the time just with your normal use of Facebook. Your newsfeed is constantly flled with information saying that someone has liked a particular page, joined a group or set themselves a new goal through a status update etc.
If you want to fnd even more potential people to contact, you can look outside of your own connections and use the Facebook search function to identify groups, pages or tags that will help you segment a target audience.
Step 2 – Find a product to promote
Once you have identifed a person or group of people with a specifc interest, the second step is to fnd an afliate product that you can promote to them.
Clickbank has a huge number of digital products like ebooks, video courses, audio programs, software, membership sites and more that cover a plethora of topics. And as I'm sure you know, Amazon sells everything from books, to bikes, TV’s, phones,
tablets and...... well just about everything.
So between the Clickbank afliate program and the Amazon Associates afliate program, you can fnd a product to promote that will appeal to just about anyone. For example, if you came across a status update on Facebook where someone said:
Arrrrgh! I love my baby but why won't she sleep for more than 2 hours straight!
You could go into the Clickbank marketplace, lookup the 'Parenting and Families' section and fnd a relevant ebook or video course to help them. A quick search in the Clickbank marketplace reveals that there are several products based on teaching parents how to get their children to sleep through the night. These would be perfect, and you get $20 or more per sale.
Once you have found a product that is suitable, the next step is to get your afliate link for it. Clickbank and Amazon both have diferent procedures for this and you can fnd detailed instructions on their websites, in their afliate training sections.
Step 3 – Give them your afliate link!
The fnal and easiest step of all is just to give them your afliate link.
If we look back at the example we gave earlier where someone posted on their Facebook timeline:
Can anyone recommend a good android phone? I just broke my old one and I need to buy a new one ASAP!
You could respond to this with a comment like:
Hey there, I've heard that the new XYZ phone is good. Here is a link to the top selling Android phones, they all have independent customer reviews so it should help you choose: http://yourafliatelink.com
It's as easy as that.
And if you have found a Facebook group with a similar interest you could create a new comment in the group with your link, or reply to some status updates or comments from other members in the group.
Tip: Don't just post your afliate link as a comment or reply. Write a personal, helpful response or comment and only include your afliate link at the end, as an extra source of information they may want to look at. This will help your comments seem more genuine and will help you get more clicks on your afliate link.
