In fact, they prefer to stay out of the limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/why-affiliate-marketing-is-good-for-introverts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">why affiliate marketing is the best career for introverts<\/a> &#8211; and I count myself as one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you&#8217;re not an Instagram influencer yet, it&#8217;s all good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take the free Commission Academy course<\/a> and you&#8217;ll discover how to build a commission-generating affiliate business that drives traffic from Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media is great and all, but search engines (in my view, anyway) are the best way to get traffic if you want to make consistent sales online and <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-make-passive-income-with-affiliate-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a passive income for yourself<\/a> because it&#8217;s laser-targeted and once the traffic starts flowing, it will do for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Should You Wait To Add Affiliate Links?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to wait at all. As soon as you have 20-30 blog posts published, apply to the affiliate programs you want to join and add your <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-do-affiliate-links-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affiliate links<\/a> right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people think Google has a big problem with affiliate links&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They imagine their rankings taking a nosedive because they added an affiliate link or two to a blog post but this simply isn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google themselves confirmed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/how-to-get-a-google-penalty-using-affiliate-links-and-how-to-recover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affiliate links have zero effect on your SEO<\/a> so don&#8217;t worry and don&#8217;t wait:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add affiliate links as soon as you can to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-do-you-earn-commissions-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start earning commissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officially there&#8217;s no minimum number of blog posts you need to apply for affiliate programs but I&#8217;d recommend having 20-30 blog posts published on your site to increase your chances of getting approved.
