Affiliates redirect their audience to the landing page link which is in their bio and provide free e books to capture email and then retarget them with affiliate products in their niche .

The benefit of creating short form content is even if you don't get sales from affiliate marketing once you build your audience either you can create your own product in that niche or else you can get brand deals later on . 

Conclusion and my personal points

There are many free resources out there to learn affiliate marketing but the problem I have seen with students is that they give up easily within the first 2-3 months as they didn't get results . Bro If you want to start an online business you have to be patient and learn things from your competitors and keep on hustling.

I preach love what you do because at the end of the day people get frustrated for the things they don't like doing for example I did coding and mobile app development but I hate it .I hope you got the point here.

Hope this blog helped you in some ways!
