Affiliate marketing is the act of promoting merchant products to potential buyers using an affiliate link to earn a commission when someone makes a purchase using your link. Most merchants pay a commission of 3%-10% of the product prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, an affiliate marketer can earn commissions of 30% and above when they choose to promote high-ticket affiliate products. Some of the best high-ticket affiliate products include digital products and SaaS (Software as a Service) products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Does It Cost to Do Affiliate Marketing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can start affiliate marketing with zero capital. Many affiliate marketers start by creating social media pages, blogs, or a YouTube<\/a> channel to promote affiliate products. However, you can choose to start with little capital, promote your platform, and start making passive income. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affiliate marketing is a low-cost endeavor because the merchant covers most of the costs involved. You won't need a website or payment processing system when you choose to do affiliate marketing. It may take time to build a client list without any capital, but it is doable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Select a Niche<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many broad categories of affiliate marketing and many niches under each category. It is imperative to carry out thorough research when selecting a niche to promote<\/a>. It should be something you are passionate about, with low competition and good commission rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
