Never before affiliate marketing for seniors has been such a hot potato 

Affiliate marketing for seniors could sound weird at first sight. In most cultures, we are accustomed to that senior citizens slow down instead of going into new business challenges.

To a certain extent, this could be true some decades ago, long before the digital era took off and started to change everything in our lives.

Any business adventure some 25 years ago required an essential investment of both time and money. Back then, to take your savings and turn it into risk capital for investment was a tough one to overcome and to even think about it.

The digital world allows us to do a lot of business online without tying up capital. In this new scenario, affiliate marketing for seniors is probably at the top of the list of possible business opportunities online.

To begin with, affiliate marketing is a great business model for anyone who would like to do business online.

So, why is it then worthwhile for seniors?

The first reason is that you don’t have to worry about products, keeping stock, and tie up capital in warehouses. As said above, seniors are not willing to risk their life savings in new businesses.

Secondly, you don’t need to have any marketing or technical skills. It’s just about taking time to learn all the relevant skills, taking action on what you learn.

As a matter of fact, affiliate marketing for seniors is a perfect combination.

With life experience, senior citizens understand the importance of hard work. They will generally stick to it and not giving up. Typically, seniors have time to dedicate to their new “baby,” and as retired, they can even get a new ignition in life by watching how their new online business grows, at a pace that is all on our terms.

What Is Affiliate Marketing For Seniors?

What Is Affiliate Marketing For Seniors?

Well, not only for senior people but affiliate marketing, in general, is very simple, You’ll earn a commission by promoting other people’s product or service on the Internet.

You don’t have to worry about anything related to the product but can focus on building a platform where you can attract people to buy the product. People you refer to purchase the product will do it through your unique affiliate link, and once the purchase and payment are done, you will get your commission paid out.

Affiliate marketing fits into small as well as big businesses. Take AirBnB as an example of the big ones. Their business model is to connect house owners who would like to rent their properties, with customers interested in renting the house. For the operation, AirBnB charges a fee, or earn a commission if we talk in affiliate terms. Since the start 2008, AirBnB is now a $10 billion company.

As an example of the small ones, you can take the hundreds of thousand affiliate marketers selling products for companies like Amazon, Clickbank, and eBay.

In other words, there is space for anybody who would like to do affiliate marketing. No matter how big or small you are, the goal is always the same; to connect people on the web with vendors. That’s all.

The beauty of all this is that it is a win-win business model. You, as an affiliate, don’t have to worry about the products and the logistics and get your commission when somebody makes a purchase through your affiliate link.

The vendors love the business model because they only pay for results. No fixed costs.

Affiliate Marketing For Seniors In Four Steps

A successful affiliate marketing business has the following four pillars as a foundation:

Affiliate Marketing For Seniors In Four Steps

1. Choose an interest that you’re passionate about

2. Build a website

3. Attract people

4. Produce revenue

Sounds too easy to be true. There are, of course, things that have to be done within each of these pillars. The reason to show the four steps in such a simple manner is to emphasize that this is no rocket science.

 

Anybody willing to do the necessary work can do it, no matter age, skills, or background.

Let’s go a little bit deeper into each of the four steps.

To choose an interest

To choose an interestAs a senior citizen with a lot of life experience, for sure, you have a hobby of your preference. It can be anything from knitting to gardening, from golfing to traveling. Relevant here is that it has to be something you’re passionate about.

I know that you will start to think about how to earn money out of it, but please forget about the money at this point. It’s a promise that the money will come naturally later on, by following the process correctly.

At this point, it’s all about finding your niche, that you’re passionate about and that can be profitable.

 

Build a Website

Build a websiteFor sure, some will start to be nervous now. To build a website!?

Take it easy, it’s not complicated at all. Even I have done it, and I promise you, I’m not technical at all.

The good thing in today’s digital world is that there are several good systems and platforms you can join and get most of the job already done for you. The rest, you will easily learn with all the support you will get when entering the system.

The one I joined is, without any doubt, one of the best in the industry. I highly recommend you to join in as well.

 

Attract people

Attract peopleYour website is like your shop in the traditional offline world. How do you get potential customers to open the door and walk into your shop?

You need to attract them to step in!

The online world works the same way. Media like Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Instagram, Bing, and many more, you can use to get your messages out to the market.

But don’t worry about how to do it. When you join the system I belong to, you will get all the help and support to become a professional marketer.

 

Produce revenue

Produce revenueNow it starts to be fun. Suddenly money starts rolling into your bank account. The first step to build the correct funnel takes some time. Once it’s ready and the money starts to come in, it’s just about fine-tuning and upscaling.

The incredible thing about the platform I recommend you to join is that they will take care of the product, and they will even sell it for you.

You are, of course, not only limited to their own suite of products, but you can add on other products that you find interesting for your niche.

 

The Right Way Doing Affiliate Marketing For Seniors

As always, there are many ways to do affiliate marketing. In the end, it’s all about how many people will click on your affiliate link.

You can get visitors to your website by paying for traffic, or you can go for, what we call organic growth. Spending money on traffic will, of course, help you to get visitors fast to your website. On the other hand, it can be a financial catastrophe if you don’t know what you’re doing.

To build up a list of potential customers, 100% for free is absolutely possible by using all search engines available on the web. It will take time, but you save money.

The best is probably something in between. Before going ahead and spending money, you need to learn all this stuff.

The way I learned affiliate marketing is through a platform called SFM.

They offer absolutely everything you will need for your business, all the tools, all the training, and support. Nothing is missing!

No matter if you belong to the younger generation, or if you like me belong to the baby boomer generation, it works for everyone.

Affiliate marketing for seniors and anybody else is the key to success.

Don’t try do make it happen alone. Join the SFM community and take the safe route to your success
