The novel coronavirus is keeping all of us at home. Much of the world is on lockdown, and, even in places that aren't, people are encouraged to stay indoors. Where it's possible, employers are encouraging or requiring people to work from home for an indeterminate amount of time. And since all of our time is at home, there has never been more perfect timing to start an affiliate marketing business right from your bedroom.
But let me explain if briefly what affiliate marketing means in case this is your first time here.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
To learn how to start your affiliate marketing business, you need to know what affiliate marketing is in the first place.
The fastest way to make money anywhere, is by earning a commission on sales.
In affiliate marketing, you will be referring someone else's business, product, or any service they provide. Once any customer buys their products through your shared links, you will earn a commission. That simple.
This is the easiest way to make money online. And if you are a beginner and want to learn more about affiliate marketing programs.
But in order to start your affiliate program, make sure you always have a blog running and you are always providing good content for your readers.

How and where to start an affiliate marketing business?
To start, you have to go through 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Choosing Product
This depends on your niche. Whatever your niche is, you can always find affiliate products that you can share and earn money for.
Step 2: Create Content about Product
Create valuable content about your product. Whether it is a review, tutorial, or even sharing some advanced features with the readers. Content is the key.
Step 3: Drive Traffic to your content
Try to get traffic to your content. In case you are writing a blog, improve your SEO. You can learn many ways to drive traffic to your content by following this simple tutorial.
Let's now dig into how you can share your affiliate links and start your affiliate marketing business in no time.
Sharing Links in your Content
As mentioned earlier, content is key. And one way to provide your audience with content is by writing articles about the product you want to share, or making videos about them.
Case study:
A lot of people feel that they would be wasting their time trying to make money online, but that is simply not true, so I created this affiliate marketing case study to prove you CAN earn money online, and faster than you think. This article will walk you through the steps to making money fast with affiliate marketing by running a paid ads campaign on Quora.
To engage you with the process and to show you first-hand how to get the best results in the shortest time possible, I will walk you through the affiliate marketing case study designed specifically to serve this goal.
The 3 main steps of the Case Study
1. Write an article in which you promote multiple affiliate products (in this case study I chose 2 products) and publish it on your blog.
2. Drive traffic to the article by running paid Ads on Quora.
3. Sit back and earn passive income!
Creating the Campaign:
You can simply create a campaign on Quora by clicking the blue link labeled “New Campaign” and then you will have to provide the following details:
1. Choose a name for your campaign. In my case, it’s “Traffic Blog”. You also have to indicate the objective of this campaign and in my case it’s “Traffic” since I want to drive traffic to my blog.
2. Set the budget. For this campaign, I chose to make it 10$ which is a good amount of money to start with.
3. Choose a name for your ad set. The name can be anything. I went with “Adset 1”.
4. Pick a location. I went for “India” since I would get a lower CPC (Cost Per Click). You can add more countries to get more reach, but don’t go with countries with high CPC to keep the cost low. The point is to test the strategy safely before you scale up with bigger campaigns.
5. Choose primary targeting. This is how you will target a specific group of people for your campaign. My choice was “Contextual Targeting” and I filled in the targeted topics with “Email marketing”. In addition to that I added “Email Service Provides”, “Email Deliverability”…etc. to get more reach.
In this way, I am targeting people who are asking and answering questions about email marketing and email marketing services on Quora. As you can see, the target audience is very precise, increasing the value and effectiveness of my ad.
6. Set the device and browser: I set it to “All desktop browsers” since I want all desktop users to see my ad.
7. Set the bid: I kept it as suggested which is “0.74"
