What to invest in to create a profitable affiliate marketing business?

Hello, let's say I'd prefer to outsource as much of my work as possible to make a profitable affiliate marketing plan promoting products from JVZoo for example.

I don't want to be on video or rely on my own social media accounts to personally promote products.

What would be the most effective way to drive traffic to affiliate links? Can I achieve a profitable business just through outsourcing all of my work on Fiverr? What elements would I need to account for? If you have any experience creating a business this way, please advise. Thank you.

    I think using paid traffic would be more effective and profitable than trying to outsource the work.

      Is there a recommended place to purchase traffic?

        You can purchase traffic using Google AdWords, Facebook advertising, Pinterest advertising, YouTube advertising, Instagram advertising, Amazon advertising and there are many more places to advertise.

        However, those websites won't allow you to link directly to affiliate offers. Create a lead capture page, content filled landing page or a blog to link to, that you are able to collect email addresses from your prospects, so you can create your email list. You will require an auto responder (if you don't already have one) to send out a sequence of followup emails, to remind your prospects to purchase your affiliate offer via your affiliate links.

    The thing is that before using outsourcers you should know what you are doing first, so you know what is involved and can then manage them accordingly.

    I get the impression from how you are asking the question that you don't really know how to drive traffic and if you can just pass this aspect of your business off to a fiverr worker, if thats the case the answer is no because you will have no clue if what they are doing is right or wrong and if they managing their time correctly.

    When you take the time to learn about driving traffic then you can easily outsource various components of traffic generation to gig workers.

      I understand that I should be driving targeted traffic but I don't know what that entails beyond calling it "targeted traffic" or advertising to certain forums or using Facebook ads directed to certain groups of people. What should I be looking for as far as proper traffic driving? Where should I purchase traffic and how can I tell if they are managing their time properly?

    Traffic, traffic and traffic. You can get traffic from bing. You can create youtube videos helping people.

  • You can build an affiliate business without putting your face, name or voice on it. You can outsource anything and everything needed to create content (videos or writing). You just need to come up with a business name and logo instead of your name and face.

    Running ads would be the easiest way to drive traffic, however, you can waste quite a bit of money if you are not sure on what you are doing.

    You've already failed because you're trying to buy something you don't understand.
