10 Reasons Why Affiliate Marketing Is Great

I see a lot of posts on here talking about why affiliate marketing is a good side hustle.

Don't get me wrong - it is great.

It's not all about us marketers though.

Everyone benefits when affiliate marketing is done right.

So, here are the top 10 reasons why affiliate marketing is great for

- Creators (1-3)
- Affiliates (4-7)
- Customers (8-10)

Let's go.
1. Cost-Effective and Low-Risk
Creators like affiliate marketing because of its cost-effectiveness. Unlike other forms of advertising, the product owner only pays an affiliate when they sell. It's therefore ideal for creators who don't have big budgets for advertising.
2. Brand Exposure
Successful advertising means good brand visibility. Affiliate marketing lets creators market their products or services on hundreds of accounts/sites, giving them more brand exposure.

And an increase in brand visibility leads to increased revenue for them.
3. Targeted marketing
Affiliate marketing gets creators targeted prospects. Most affiliates only market products and services that are likely to appeal to their followers/visitors. They understand their audience so promote more relevant offers. Again, this equals more revenue.
4. Low start up costs
One reason many people start doing affiliate marketing is the low start up costs. These can range from absolutely nothing to $50 or so. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

The ROI from that initial investment can be huge - choose wisely.
5. You can start right away
If you are developing your own product, this can take some time, especially for physical products. With affiliate marketing on the other hand, those products have been created already and are waiting for you to start selling them.

You can start today!
6. Plenty of choice
Unless you're a robot, it takes a while to create quality products. However, there are already thousands of offers you could affiliate for. The more variety you have to offer, the more likely it is you can solve someone's problems.

And that means a sale.
7. Helping people.
Probably the best thing about being an affiliate marketer is being able to help people. Some of the most heartwarming exchanges I've had online come after someone has purchased something and they come back to say thanks for the info.

You can change lives.
8. You can see social proof
For buyers, especially on social media, you get to see hundreds of people talking about courses that are impacting their lives. You get to see reviews on sales pages from real, ordinary people you know and trust.

If they can get results, so can you.
9. You're buying from a user of the product
Most affiliate marketers only sell products they use and personally recommend. That means you're not talking to a sales person. You're talking to a user of the product.

A user who loved it enough to Tweet about it 5 times a day!
10. You already like the content
In most cases, you're buying from someone you follow. This means you like their content, and you probably think the same about most things. You're probably going to like their recommendations.

There's a good reason why affiliate marketing works!
