Hello, today I'm going to answer the question can we earn regular income by doing affiliate marketing? When I hear the word regular income I'm thinking the same money every month. Almost like you would get from an hourly job. 

Affiliate marketing is a sales job and because of this the income can sometimes be really good and sometimes not good. I only make money if someone clicks on my affiliate link goes to a website and buys something. 

There are different ways to make money as an affiliate. There are programs where you can make recurring income or residual income. Maybe you sale a membership or monthly plan. 

With this your income can be a little bit more regular, however it's not going to be the exact same every month. The way I make money with affiliate marketing is I do a little bit of everything. 

I have a some low ticket items up front and I keep 100% of the money on that. Then towards the middle of the sales funnel I have residual income products. This is where you do the work 1 time and make money over and over again. 

Then towards the end I have some high ticket items where I can earn $1,000-$2,000 to $4,000 per sale. These high ticket items is where most of the money is made in affiliate marketing. 

How many $20 dollar products do you have to sale to make $4,000? You see my point? The only way to make more money with affiliate marketing is by creating products and having other people sale them. 

Even if you have people selling your products you need lots of volume to make the same amount of money. Is my money consistent? NO, it's not. I look at the residual income products as being extra, but you really should have low ticket items and high ticket items that you are promoting. 

Can you really make money doing this, is this real and how quickly can you do this? The secret sauce, the magic with this business is with list building, how you promote your offers and your system with this. 

It doesn't matter how much traffic you get if nobody buys anything. A big misconception with affiliate marketing is all you have to do is post a link and people will click on it and buy things. Traffic is everything. No, traffic is not everything. 

The truth is most people have to look at something 7-10 times before they pull the trigger. Even then it really helps to create urgency to get someone off the fence. 

You absolutely have to learn how to do this correctly if you want to make good money in this business. Traffic is the last thing to think about and there are an insane amount of ways to get it. 

Traffic can come slow or it can come quickly depending on what you use. In conclusion it's better to have the mindset that you want to learn, your curious and your going to celebrate every victory you get. Start off doing affiliate part time and see what happens. 

When you start to see results, continue doing what is working.  I highly recommend not even thinking about earning money when you start, which can be hard for some people. 

I've been doing affiliate marketing for 10 years. There is one person that I highly recommend you learn from. He goes over the fundamentals that you need to understand, list building, promoting offers and how to find good offers to promote.
