Beginners Affiliate Marketing Free Blog Series

I’m starting a free blog series here on DavidOsajie.com, on how to set up and run an affiliate website/business that makes money.

If you’re already an affiliate, but not making enough. Or perhaps you’re just trying to test the waters, I invite you to stick with me as we go through this step by step right here on this blog.

The purpose of this blog series is to make the whole process simple and fun. I could have just packaged this (I would in the future), and given it out for free download. But in my opinion it wouldn’t be as effective as working together, and asking questions. Besides you’d be more motivated when you see others taking part.

Here’s how I’m structuring this series:

1. Pick a Product to Promote.

2. Research Your Main Keyword.

3. Register a Domain Name And Get a Web host.

4. Install WordPress On Your Domain.

5. Search And Install a Suitable Theme For Your WordPress Site.

6. Install & Configure The WordPress Plugins Required.

7. Plan & create Your Site’s Contents.

8. Obtain And Cloak Your Affiliate Link.

9. Drive Traffic To Your New Site And Make Some Money.

10. Rinse And Repeat.

Immediately I finish with each post, I’ll come back here to link to it. So ensure you bookmark this page, better still subscribe to my RSS feeds to get notified of each new post.

By the end of this series, you will not only make your first affiliate sale (if you’re yet to make one), but you’ll become a super affiliate. Ok, I agree that’s stretching it too far, but at least you’ll start making a decent monthly income, and hopefully expand from there.

Requirements: What You Need To Successfully Follow Along:

1. First and foremost, you need a credit card for hosting and domain registration.

2. Get an internet connection, cyber cafe won’t help you one bit. But if you can manage, no problem. I just can’t work in a cyber cafe, especially in Nigeria.

3. You need a Clickbank account, and a means of receiving your affiliate cheques in Nigeria.

4. The rest is just the investment of your time, patience, hard work, and diligence.

I hope this series go smoothly like I plan, so everybody can make money and be happy.

First Lesson: Pick a Product to Promote.

  • I was told by respected internet marketer that without getting
    your tax number on clickbank, you cannot withdraw money from your click bank account. Is that saying true? If yes, how can i get my tax number?

  • @Fred, it’s funny these respected internet marketers didn’t see it fit to explain to you how they went around theirs.

    Somebody asked a similar question here, and I gave a simple solution to it. Just go through the post and the comments.

  • David,
    I have tried somany things on the internet but with nothing encouraging for a future.The Aw survey you gave me when I paid for my paypal acct opening have not produced any decent income since they only give one survey of$1 every month. Will this affiliate marketing make a real change?

  • Great work Dav. But i will want you to rewrite on an article you’ve already published title “Blogger for newbies”. I think Blogger can be a steping stone for the newbies in affiliate marketing without investing much of naira, from there we can move to register domain.

    Thank you.

  • David am very greatful on how U keep on teaching people the road to better their life.please how can i open Click bank account because they don’t ascept Nigerians also how to open Paypal account,Please help me.

    I must commend your efforts on trying to show naija boys on how to make money online the legit way. You a different kind.
    But its like you have abandoned the training on afffiliate marketing as publiced.
    My area of interest is on the list is from 7-9.I’ll most grateful if you can elaborate on that.
    Finally, i want to know if the ip changer you recently advertised works on proxy settings like your-freedom.
    THANKS

    • Of course I didn’t abandon it. I’ve just been tied down lately. Will get to it pretty soon, plus I’m thinking of doing some videos to simplify the whole process.

  • HELLO BROS,
    PLEASE, FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE A MEANS OF COLLECTING THEIR AFFILIATE CHECK HERE IN NIGERIA, WOULD PAYPAL OR GRAPH-CARD BE AN ALTERNATIVE?
    CAN WE USE LIBERTY RESERVE TO HOST AND REGISTER A DOMAIN NAME? IF NOT, WHAT ABOUT THE VISA CARD FROM GRAPH-CARD? THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WILL HELP A LOT OF MEMBERS HERE. THANKS.

  • Dear David,
    Many thanks for your great effort in all ramifications for this valuable information found on this site. As one of your students,
    I humbly request you to help me get a credit card as all effort in getting have proved futile.I shall welcome your reply and the procedural requirements. thanks

  • Is it really possible for me to monetize this kind of FREE WEBSITE I developed?If not,how can I get authentic CREDIT CARD in Nigeria;basically for my online deals?What else do I really need to be successful online-please,give honest advice,I once attended your seminar….Thanks for your honest reply.

  • Hi,
    How is work ?
    To make this session flow beta , i think newbies should just make post on areas of difficulty, cos some of us have actually gone far, but with problems like good cloaking of links and driving traffic to site.
    Best Regards.

  • I have bought a lot of products on Affiliate Marketing, Work From Home etc. but only end up getting half baked infos. 4rm these so called inforenueurs.
    i have recieved mails 4rm u but refused to key in cos i thought u were one of those fake inforenuers. Pls. how do i get started on Affiliate marketting.
    how do i fund my payoneer Master card in Abuja

    Thanks

  • Is there no body saying anything about affiliate marketing any longer or have had enough lessons already ?
    Please lets do and talk business.
    All my best

  • Oga David, I have read so many of your posts on this blog. I must commend your hardwork. You are doing a nice work. Helping newbie on online business in Nigeria. Pls i want to be part of the Affiliate marketing for newbie. I will be greatful, if my request is honoured.

  • Good interest, but you must try and put in your best. Affiliate marketing is the bomb, don,t wait to be spoon fed. M ake you for carry last.

  • Hello David,
    Please a very simple note, my question is, is it possible to withdraw money from my click bank account?
    will it be possible to do internet home work without a personal website?

    Thanks

  • This is a laudable acivehement. Please go ahead and make us in Nigeria proud. God Bless you!Something else to add. Perhaps beg for. Please just try to make it available in other pltforms. Like um in the form of JAva games/apps. or better, launch it on the Apple iphone application store.
