Imagine having the freedom to decide how you live your own days... and still make money.
Lets look at how that can happen with Affiliate Marketing.
My Life before Affiliate Marketing....
I turned to an entrepreneurial life after uni, and even though I had great success in small business in my 20's and 30's, I have watched this last decade be consumed with 'the relentlessness of paying the bills'.
My hubby and I traveled for years with our young family. We were original laptop lifestylers, pre iPhones. We lived the freedom dream, and yet we still found ourselves looping these last 10 years; raising our kids, getting food on the table and paying the bills.
The country lifestyle called us as our kids got a bit older. We sold up our online business, mostly because we had no idea how to scale it with the skillsets we had. We got to experience the golden days of early internet sales without needing much more than a dream. As more and more people found their way to the online space, we really needed to skill-up to be relevant. But we decided to put our attention to raising kids and living the simple life.
My hubby turned to his electrical licence to cover our living expenses. I got to homeschool our kids and adventure with them. But as they became young adults, the reality of what had happened, smacked us in the face. All of the possibilty that we were - the vision, the opportunity, the freedom - it had reduced itself to the loop of paying the bills; the rent, the groceries, the electricity, the tax.
I often joked about how jealous I was of myself 20 years ago.
On top of that, I had become the 'wife' dependent on her 'fella'. That was never supposed to happen. But here I was!!! And there he was, climbing into roofs and under houses, day after day, just to keep our boat afloat.
I had my 'there has to be another way' moment too.
So I went back to my online business roots to find out how things were rolling in the 'new world', more than a decade later. I discovered that there were many opportunites that I could action immediately. I think the realisation that blew my mind the most was that I wasn't too old and that I could start from exactly where I was at. I hadn't missed the boat.
I began to rediscover my entreprenuerial spirit; the ability to create my 'what's next', on my own terms, and the ability to generate unlimited financial abundance and freedom.... without having to have a product to sell.
Yeah... without even having a product to sell!!!!
That was my next mind-blowing realisation.

What is Affiliate Marketing?
I have always been the girl who lets everyone I know, know, about all of the very cool things that I discover.
I often thought that if I could get just one dollar for each of the sales I'd made for other people by simply being a raving fan of their stuff, I would be a millionaire.
Imagine my joy when I discovered that selling other people's stuff online to make money, is actually a thing, and that it is in fact a lucrative business model when you step into the world of High Ticket Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is simply about promoting someone else's product or service to an interested audience, and getting paid thank you money when a sale is made. It is about generating leads for other businesses who then make the sale. So it is not about selling anything. It is more like being a guide; letting people know why they might want a particular product or service and where to go to get it. That's it!!!
Affiliate Marketers often establish themselves online with a particular focus. You may have heard the saying that to sell to everyone is to sell to no one. So even though an Affiliate Marketer is not necessarily selling anything, the same idea can apply to the promotion of things and ideas. If your audience is too general, your guidance might not be relevant at all.
This idea of getting a clear and specific focus for your content and offers, leads us to the concept of Authority Marketing and building a business that you love... a brand that is essentially YOU... focusing specifically on everything that makes you excited. We will talk more about Authority Marketing in a bit. To quickly summarise, it is about how people get to know you online because you represent a particular niche – like being the Tech Guy or the Nutrition Guru. When people know that you are focused in a particular field, you become somewhat of an expert, and people are more likely to follow your relevant affiliate link suggestions.
As an Affiliate Marketer you build a loyal audience by creating valuable niche content and sharing it through channels such as blogs, social media posts and videos, podcasts and emails. And when you say to your audience 'Hey, I found this really cool thing... check it out!!!!', they are often curious enough to have a look.... because they know, like and trust you for all of the value you have given already with your content.
Lets look at the basics of Affiliate Marketing and how you make money!!!
- You search for businesses with affiliate programs, that sell products or services that you like, value and trust
- You sign up as an affiliate and get a unique tracking link for each of the products or services you want to promote
- You promote the product or service using the affiliate link in your online content
- When someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase, you get paid a commission
It seems pretty simple, doesn't it!!
But the reality is that if you are promoting a $30 product with a 10% commission, you are going to need a huge audience of raving fans to make the kind of money that can replace your current income.
If 100 people purchased from your link, you would make a commission of $300. If 1000 people click your link and purchase, you would make $3000. Which is great...!!!! But how realistic is it, that you will consistently sell products to thousands of people every day, without having to become a legendary influencer on YouTube or TikTok?
What if I told you there are ways; strategies and opportunities, to create life changing income, as an affiliate, without having to establish yourself first as an influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers?
That way, is the way of High Ticket Affiliate Marketing.
What is High Ticket Affiliate Marketing?
This strategy focuses on products and services that offer substantial commission; ranging from hundreds, to thousands, of dollars.
This is the game changer.
This is where less sales can translate to more money.
Quality over quantity.
And once your systems are in place, this is where that 'make money while you sleep' catch phrase kicks in.
You can be on your island holiday, taking the kids to soccer practice, planting seedlings in the garden, jamming at the local open mic, getting on with the housework, on your mat at a yoga class, heading out for coffee with friends.... or actually even sleeping.
I mean anywhere, anytime.... and the money can roll on in.
Not just the money.... but the really good money.
It is true that there are affiliates who generate millions of dollars. It is a vision to work towards. Like anything, the more we apply ourselves, the more those visions start to awaken as our reality.
Beyond the lucrative financial opportunity of High Ticket Affiliate Marketing, is the understanding that you really are helping people.
Whether it is a tech product, a coaching service, an education platform or the latest healing device, the high ticket product's value lies in being able to either resolve a pain, or evolve the experience of life.
Essentially as an Affiliate of High Ticket Products, you are in the business of Life Transformation. Imagine getting paid to help people grow and change, without having to have your own product or service!!!
Authority Marketing is about establishing yourself as a trusted resource in your niche. When you're seen as an authority, people trust your recommendations. They're more likely to click on your affiliate links and make purchases because they value your expertise and insights.
It is like setting up a stall at the local market that stands out for offering something valuable and sought after... like the best cakes and coffee. They don't sell take-away chinese dinners while they are at it. They simply focus on offering the best cake and coffee at the market. And that is what everyone knows them for. That is why their customers keep coming back. And when they have a new cake, it is easy to offer and sell to their loyal customer base... because everything they make is delicious.... and everyone knows it. They are masters in their field.
The 7 steps to Making Money with Authority Marketing :
1. Identify a Profitable Niche that Excites You: Consider what interests or skills you are passionate about or have experience in. Look for niches where there's demand but also align with your strengths.
2. Get Clear on Who Your Audience Is: Picture the diverse shoppers in the marketplace—each with their own needs and preferences. Who do you want to serve? What problems can you help solve?
3. Get to Know What They Want: Engage with potential customers. What are their pain points or desires? Understanding their needs will guide you in providing valuable solutions.
4. Create Your Brand and Message: Develop your unique brand identity. Share your story, expertise, and why you're passionate about helping others in your chosen niche.
5. Launch Marketing Systems: Start sharing content—whether it's blogs, videos, social media posts or emails —that showcase your knowledge and provide helpful insights to your audience.
6. Promote Offers: Recommend products or services that align with your audience's needs and interests. Be genuine and transparent in your recommendations.
7. Make Money: As you build trust and credibility, customers will be more inclined to support your recommendations and purchase through your affiliate links, generating income for you.
This strategy, combined with High Ticket Affiliate Marketing is how you can turn passion into profit. It is how you get to be paid really well, to simply be you.
Pros and Cons
So what am I not telling you??? It all sounds too good to be true, right?!!!
Lets have a look at Pros and Cons of Affiliate Marketing.
Pros:
- Easy To Get Started: You don't need to create your own product or service. You can start promoting other people's products right away.
- Flexibility: You can work from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. It's perfect if you love the idea of being your own boss and setting your own schedule.
- No Customer Support: You don't have to deal with customer service headaches like refunds or complaints. That's all handled by the product owner.
- Passive Income Potential: Once you've set up your content and affiliate links, you can earn commissions while you sleep. It's like having your own little money-making machine.
- Wide Range of Products: You can choose from thousands of products across various niches, so there's almost always something that matches your audience's interests.
Cons...
- Dependency on Affiliate Programs: Your income depends on the affiliate programs you join. If they change their terms or shut down, your income could be affected.
- Competition: Many people are promoting the same products, so standing out requires effort and creativity.
- Income Variability: Your income can fluctuate. It's not always consistent, especially in the beginning when you're building your audience.
- No Control Over Products: Since you're promoting someone else's product, you can't control its quality or changes in pricing, which might affect your credibility.
- Learning Curve: There's a learning curve to understand SEO, content creation, and marketing strategies that work. It takes time and persistence to see significant results. And it will require some financial investment to get you going.
The cons, the way I see it, are really just opportunities waiting for your clarity.
When you embrace Authority Marketing, the competition falls away, because you are showing up uniquely as you. When you promote an array of products that you are aligned with, you are not dependent on any one product. And when you commit to your own evolution, the learning curve is something to get excited about. Investment, both of your time and finances, is the path of any new endeavour. It is the currency of priority. What are you prioritising? How much do you want change??
