Hi all,

I work for a book company as an independent contractor and I'm also part of their affiliate program. They have over 50 books as products.(Physical Books, health & Biblical). They don't have a social media presence at all since they have door to door sales people selling their books. Today I was given all their product images to help my affiliate efforts. My question is this. What would be my best option to drive traffic to these products? Do I set up a website, pay for adds via social media or set up a Shopify store with these products linking to their website? If I do the website route, how would my company know that I got this person to purchase from them so I can be paid ?What do i do, im new to affiliate marketing.

  • Is there a specific set of books you want to promote? or are you going broad and want to promote all of their books?

    Do you know your target audience?

    • The two genre of the books are health and religious . My target audience would be parents with young children for the story books and the health books are are kinda broad I guess.
  • For starters WordPress CMS has an awful lot of advantages as a website platform. This platform is excellent for the beginner blogger or online marketer.

    • It's easy to set up

    • Easy to learn

    • Easy to customize for your specific use

    • Hundreds of free themes and plugins

    • Basically free to use.

    • You can get plenty of WP help online
    I hope that helps.

    • I agree with Tony S, the best platform for something like this specially if you're a beginner is Wordpress. It's easy to set up and there is a lot of free support online if you get stuck somewhere.

  • Did you try to sell online on Ebay, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc?
