Alright, you got it!
Step 1. Pick A Winning Topic
It could be absolutely anything.
As I explain in this short video, the key to becoming unstoppable is to choose a niche or topic you can kinda get excited about:
Maybe you’re a sports fanatic…
Maybe you love all things home and decor…
Maybe you’re a natural in the kitchen…
Or perhaps it’s stamp collecting that really rocks your boat.
Whatever the topic is, the beauty of affiliate marketing is you can earn 6-figures by turning your passion into your dream online business.
Haven’t got a topic immediately springing to mind?
Follow our simple 3-step strategy for choosing a niche and you’ll land on your winning topic in no time.
Step 2. Find Low-Hanging Keywords
Affiliate marketing is commission-based, meaning you only get paid when humans click your affiliate links and buy.
Where are these humans going to come from you ask?
Google.
Google is the best traffic source because:
- It’s free
- It’s targeted
- It’s residual
So how do you get free traffic from Google?
By creating a website around your chosen topic or niche and then creating content that’s focused on ranking in the search engines for specific keywords.
This is what’s known as keyword research:
It’s where you use a keyword tool like Mangools to check to see how many searches a phrase gets googled on average each month:
Get this part right and you’ll find high-volume, low-hanging (i.e. low competition) keywords that’ll generate 10,000s of clicks to your website…
If you complete step 3 that is.
Step 3. Create Epic Content
That is, the type of content that helps answer the questions and solves the problems of the people who are interested in your chosen topic.
And don’t worry, no one’s expecting Shakespeare here.
Just pretend you’re typing a message to a close friend and do it in a way that’s as helpful as possible.
And since Google is in the business of giving people the most helpful results possible, it shouldn’t be too long before your content starts to rank in their search results.
Is it possible to create epic content on your mobile phone?
I’d say so.
But you might get a headache from staring at a small screen for so long so be sure to take frequent breaks.
Better yet, use your phone to find keywords and come up with post outlines and then write them out when you’ve got access to a computer.
Step 4. Earn With Affiliate Programs
So you’ve chosen a topic and you’re creating content about that topic that’s sending 1,000s of people to your website each day.
Now it’s time to make money.
This part is easy:
Just think about what products and services people interested in your topic would want to buy and join an affiliate program which has these products you can promote as an affiliate.
For example, if soccer was my topic, I’d do a Google search for “soccer affiliate programs“.
Or “ballet affiliate programs” if my website was about ballet and so on…
And trust me when I say there is no end or shortage of affiliate products out there you can recommend to earn big bucks online.
Check out our beginner’s guide to affiliate programs and how they work.

But why stop there?
Dig around for more of those high-volume, low-competition keywords, create the best content for it and make even more money.
You can repeat this process 100s if not 1000 of times to completely smash your online income goals.

Why Affiliate Marketing On Your Phone Might Be Tricky
Doing affiliate marketing on your phone is definitely doable, but you’re going to want to invest in a good laptop as soon as possible as this’ll make certain tasks easier to manage.
That being said, here are some workarounds.
Tiny Screen Size
Replying to comments, checking stats and coming up with keyword ideas shouldn’t be too much of a problem on your phone, just don’t overdo it and take frequent breaks to rest your eyes.
Creating Content Will Be A Pain
Writing blog posts is gonna be the biggest challenge for affiliate marketers working on a phone, but it can be done.
It might be a good idea to connect your mobile device to your smart TV to avoid eye fatigue.
Download Grammarly’s app that automatically checks for typos and misspellings and you’ll be good to go.
Designing Your Website Layout Might Be Awkward
I’ve never met a website designer who doesn’t use a PC or laptop to do his work.
But to be fair, once your website is set up there’s not much website design you have to do as an affiliate.
The solution?
Choose a good WordPress theme like GeneratePress that already looks good “as is” and you won’t need to do much customisation at all.
Affiliate Marketing On Your Phone: Bottom Line
You can manage your affiliate marketing business on your phone but a laptop or tablet is better to launch and grow your affiliate marketing business.
That being said, if all you’ve got is a phone right now, there are easy workarounds so it doesn’t have to hold you back from making your dream business a reality, starting today.
