It is a good idea to “publish” valuable content on these social media platforms because visitors to these popular social media platforms may find your content, read your content, and eventually click through to visit your blog (or website).

If a visitor provides his or her email address (& name) and then clicks on the “submit” button, he or she will be given the free lead magnet. 

8. Email marketing.
When an affiliate marketer has successfully built a good list of subscribers, he or she can send emails to these subscribers. Inside these emails, the affiliate marketer can provide valuable content and sometimes the affiliate marketer can mention a good affiliate product. If a subscriber buys the affiliate product through the affiliate link of the affiliate marketer, the affiliate marketer will receive a commission (which is like a small income to the affiliate marketer). 

9. Affiliate networks.
There many affiliate networks. A merchant can offer an affiliate product through an affiliate network. An affiliate marketer can join the affiliate network and then the affiliate marketer can choose to promote this particular merchant’s affiliate product.
