Jumia affiliate: Learn how to easily make money on Jumia

Jumia affiliate marketing can make you good money if you choose the right products and understand exactly how to market them.

In this post, Tanya Mimi teaches you how to begin a blog and make money. Her blog Slacher.Com brings him thousands of dollars every month. You may never get to herlevel, but how about pocketing just a fraction of her earning by being a Jumia affiliate?

Note sure? You can also create a like Dimepiece LA and sell online. However, let’s see what affiliate marketing is.

What is affiliate marketing?

This how Wikipedia, defines affiliate marketing;

“Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.”

In other words, an affiliate is a person who promotes other peoples’ or companies’ products or services and is paid when those products and services are bought.

Let us say company X offers to pay a 4% commission on a TV, worthy Ksh.40000, if you promote this TV and it is bought, then you make Ksh. 1600. Hundreds of these TVs can be bought within a day due to your efforts.  You can see how much you can make within a single day if you are a good promoter.

How is it different from network marketing?

If you have been involved with GNLD, forever living ,Tieens or Jeunesse , then you know what network marketing is.

Here is how Wikipedia defines network marketing;

“Multi-level marketing (MLM), also called pyramid selling, network marketing,and referral marketing,^[is a marketing strategy for the sale of products or services where the revenue of the MLM company is derived from a non-salaried workforce selling the company’s products/services, while the earnings of the participants are derived from a pyramid-shaped or binary compensation commission system.”

Let me make a confession, I once joined GNLD, I was lured by those stories you hear of people making a lot money. I was very optimistic that I was going to make it, so I thought. To succeed, I pumped in a lot on money to try to move through the ranks very quickly and even bought products worthy thousands of shillings.

I failed terribly.

I do not mean to say that network marketing is not good. No, that is not what I am saying. What I learned is that network marketing is not meant for everyone. If you are not wired to convince people to buy their own shoes, you likely to fail with network marketing.

To date, I still have those scars of network marketing. Network marketing was difficult for me because you try to sell to people products that they do not want and to add injury to insult, at very exorbitant prices.

That made me hate network marketing.

The beauty with affiliate marketing is I do not have to look for customers. Customers come looking for me and they get what they are looking for. That is not all; you can promote different products from different companies.
