How affiliate marketing works [TikTok Affiliate marketing strategies for beginners]

Introduction

Welcome to another training session! In this article, I'm going to share how I effectively utilize TikTok for affiliate marketing and give you an overview of how affiliate marketing operates.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing

At its core, affiliate marketing involves promoting other people's products and earning a commission on sales made through your unique affiliate links. You can find products to promote by exploring affiliate marketplaces such as ClickBank, JvZoo, and ShareASale.

Personally, I prefer promoting high-ticket items, such as the Freedom Breakthrough 3.0, alongside lower-ticket options like the $ 72 Challenge. In my affiliate dashboard, I can see my earnings, for example, $ 71 from one opportunity which offers a 40% commission.

High-Ticket vs. Low-Ticket Products

High-ticket affiliate marketing focuses on promoting expensive products, while low-ticket items serve as entry points. For instance, when a customer buys the $ 72 Challenge, they might later opt for the high-ticket item if they seek further training or wish to scale their business.

The Freedom Breakthrough 3.0 program includes a structured approach to affiliate marketing. It covers several phases including:

Building an automated sales system.
Utilizing various traffic strategies.
Enhancing conversions.
Automating processes for scalability.

Automated Sales Funnel

One key aspect of my strategy is utilizing a sales funnel to collect leads instead of driving traffic directly to affiliate links. I accomplish this through software like Funnel Freedom, creating a landing page that offers a free course—developed by Jonathan Montoya—for anyone interested in beginning their affiliate marketing journey.

The sales funnel captures users' names and emails, enabling me to follow up with them via automated email marketing, showcasing various affiliate products.

TikTok as a Traffic Source

Currently, my TikTok account has around 171 followers. It’s important to reach 1,000 subscribers to utilize clickable links in your bio. Therefore, I create short videos directing viewers to my sales funnel, allowing me to capture leads effectively and engage with them through an email list.

My content creation strategy revolves around producing long-form videos (like YouTube lives) which are then cut down into short snippets for platforms like TikTok. I aim to upload three videos daily, ensuring that I have a stockpile of content ready to go.

Creating Engaging Video Content

When uploading videos, I focus on incorporating relevant hashtags and engaging titles to increase visibility. Here’s a quick breakdown of my process:

Upload multiple short videos at once rather than daily.
Use tools to generate engaging titles and descriptions.
Replicate this strategy across different platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to maximize reach.

By distributing content widely, I'm able to connect with a larger audience and increase lead generation opportunities.

Conclusion

By using a combination of high-ticket and low-ticket products, creating engaging content, leveraging automated systems, and utilizing platforms like TikTok, anyone can build a successful affiliate marketing strategy. Remember, collecting emails and following up with prospects is key to promoting multiple products within the affiliate marketing ecosystem.
