Make sure that the company you are promoting is something you are passionate about or that you have tried the product or services in question. Usually 3 good affiliate trends to specialize in is in the health, wealth and dating/relationships. People always tend to buy from these particular niches because people are always looking to feel and look better, or want to make money or are concerned about the relationships in their lives.
Look for returns of 50% or greater and see if you only earn a commission on the initial sale and how long cookies last when someone clicks on your link on the website you have so you can get credit for the sale. See if there are up sells or down sells as well, because if there are up sells or down sells, you will get the commission down the road when a purchase is made and that means more money for you. Also see how often they pay and if they pay weekly or every 2 weeks. Know the pay structure.
Do your research on what you choose to represent and your audience and it will help you big time. And if you decide to go with a platform, such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Linkedln or any other platform, choose one and learn that platform. Choosing too many will get you overwhelmed and may get you discouraged. Choose one platform to start with and learn it. When you feel you have mastered one, feel free to go on to other platforms and branch out and you will have much more accomplishment doing it this way. Also remember when posting affiliate links to place disclaimers that you are promoting another companies products and that if they decide to purchase you will be getting paid something for this. Brush up on your state laws regarding this. If you are to run a successful online business and be in business for yourself you need to know these things and take it seriously.
