Then we go deep into how to pick a niche from items already in your house, build a small “product ecosystem” around one main item, and find solid affiliate programs that actually want to work with you.You’ll learn how to start affiliate marketing by creating problem-solving content on one platform, instead of trying to be everywhere and burning out. We’ll talk about unboxings, reviews, comparisons, “best X for Y” videos, and how to turn product cons into a powerful lead magnet that grows your email list. Finally, I’ll show you why email marketing is the real difference between random one-off commissions and a long-term affiliate business.If you’re serious about affiliate marketing for beginners and want a realistic plan, watch this video all the way through, pause and take notes, and leave a comment with your biggest takeaway.
