Affiliate Marketing Quick Start: Pick a Niche → Post Content → Get Paid (No BS)
If you want to start affiliate marketing but you’re overwhelmed… this is the simplest path.
This is the Quick Start version of what I teach in my free guide.
The 5-Step Affiliate Marketing Setup (Beginner Safe)
1) Pick ONE niche (don’t overthink it)
Choose something you’ll still enjoy talking about in 2 years, not 2 weeks.
Examples:
  • Fitness / supplements
  • Golf
  • Gardening
  • Fly fishing
  • Gold panning
  • Home improvement
Rule: Pick a niche where you already own products and you’re already solving problems.
2) Pick a content angle (sub-niche)
Don’t be “fitness.” Be one slice of "fitness".
Examples:
  • Fitness → supplement reviews / meal prep / home gym gear
  • Gardening → tomato pruning tools / seed starting / soil hacks
  • Fly fishing → tying flies / gear comparisons
3) Create your profiles + ONE link hub
Make your profiles (TikTok, YouTube, IG, etc.) and use one landing page link so you never have to update old posts.
My recommendation: a simple link hub (Solo.to style setup).
Why?
  • One link goes everywhere (bio + descriptions)
  • Add/remove affiliate links in ONE place
  • Keeps your system organized
4) Find affiliate programs + add links to your hub
Google: “[company name] affiliate program signup”
Get approved, connect payout method, drop the links into your link hub.
5) Start posting simple “problem → solution” content
You’re NOT making ads.
You’re helping someone pick the right thing.
Basic format:
  • What problem you had
  • What you tried
  • What worked (and what didn’t)
  • Who it’s for / who it’s not for
  • “Link in bio if you want the same tool/product”
Example (gardening): “Here’s how I prune tomatoes without wrecking the plant. These are the clippers I use. Link in bio if you want them.”
The only rule that matters:
Don’t spend money until you’re making money.
Start with your phone. Manual posting is fine. When revenue starts coming in, THEN you can stack tools to go faster.
What niche are you leaning toward? Drop your answer like this:
Niche: Sub-niche angle: Platform: (TikTok / YouTube / IG)
