Affiliate Marketing Instructions Step 5: The Ideal Affiliate Profile
Affiliate marketing is not for everyone, so what is the ideal profile of a successful affiliate marketer? We’ll answer this question here. There is no perfect affiliate profile. Anyone can succeed sharing their affiliate link and make good money. The primary characteristics have nothing to do with the person’s background, education, experience, or the length of their hair. Generally speaking, here are the kinds of attributes and practices and habits that produce the most successful affiliate marketers.
- Willing to take the time and effort to share their link with others continuously without giving up too early,
- Possessing the self-discipline and perseverance to overcome shortcomings, to learn why or where their marketing isn’t working effectively, and willing to make course corrections as they learn the most effective words and phrases to use to get people to click on the link, as well as learning where their links reach the most people,
- Independent and one who takes personal responsibility for their own success and failures, and
- Those who already have a large number of viewers for their Youtube channel (or podcast or social media) will be able to immediately reach many potential customers, and could start making money right away.

As you can see, you can be an individual working from home, a full time professional Youtuber, a podcaster, or a social media influencer, or you might have very little presence on the Internet. The key will be how much you share your link, and anyone can share an affiliate link.
