Class 10: Teens & Affiliate Marketing


One free and very popular online business strategy is utilizing affiliate marketing. Affiliate networks like ClickBank.com, CJ.com, and Digistore24.com, offer thousands of products (i.e. physical products, PDF’s, ebooks, and videos) that you can choose to market on your blogs and social media platforms that could earn you a ton of money, and instantly. If interested, register on Clickbank (my recommended affiliate platform) and search out a particular digital product in your niche. Then copy the link from that Clickbank product and place it on your website/social media platform. If someone purchases that digital product through the link on your blog/social media account, you can earn a commission between 50% to 75% of the sale.


You don’t have to do much of anything. You don’t need to create the product, build the sales page/website, worry about email marketing, stress about how to collect payments, deal with customer service…...nothing. This is the beauty of affiliate marketing. You are only referring customers to someone else’s product and getting paid a huge commission.


Amazon even hosts their own affiliate program on their platform called Amazon Associates. Amazon pays between 4% and 10% commissions from the sales of products that you recommend. I believe the minimum age requirement is 18 years old to participate in most affiliate programs. If you are under 18, you could ask your parents/guardians if they would like to partner with you on your journey and have them register. Unfortunately, most online platforms will require you to be 18 and have a PayPal and/or bank account. If you don’t have a Paypal account, go open one! Be sure to check the age requirements before registering on any platform.


If you are unfamiliar with Paypal, it’s an online financial service that allows you to pay for items using a secure internet account. Simply add your bank account, credit card, or debit card details. Most online merchants accept Paypal. Also, many affiliate programs will pay into your Paypal account when sales are completed. After receiving money into Paypal, funds can be easily transferred into your bank account.


Call To Action: Go to clickbank.com and try finding a few products within your niche. Do you see any products that you would promote within your business?
