Making money online can be simple. In this blog post, I’ll share a powerful strategy that uses just three things—Google, Gmail, and affiliate marketing. It’s quick, easy, and effective!
Step 1: Set Up a Blog or Website
First, you need a Gmail account, which is free to create. With this, you can either use a full website or start a simple blog on Blogger. If you don’t have a website, don’t worry. Blogger works just fine for this strategy. Just go to your Gmail, click on the grid of dots (Google Apps), and select Blogger. You can create a blog in minutes!
If you want a website, you can buy a cheap domain and hosting. For example, you can check offers like a $40 deal for a year’s domain and hosting. Either way, a website or blog will allow you to post content easily.
Step 2: Get Your Affiliate Links
Now, head over to your affiliate accounts. Whether you use Clickbank, Digistore24, CPA marketing, or freelance platforms like Fiverr, get the links you want to promote. This strategy works across all niches, so you can use it to drive traffic to any of your affiliate links.
Step 3: Set Up an Autoresponder in Gmail
Here’s where the magic happens. In your Gmail settings, you can enable the "out of office" autoresponder. Go to your Gmail, click on the gear icon for settings, then click "See all settings." Scroll down to the "Vacation Responder" section.
This feature will automatically send replies to anyone who emails you. In the subject line, type something related to your niche. For example, if you're promoting a product from Clickbank, you could say, “Get the Ultimate Guide Now!”
In the body of the email, list the benefits of the product you’re promoting and include your affiliate links. You can promote multiple products in this autoresponder email.
Step 4: Drive Traffic to Your Email
The next step is getting people to send you emails. One way to do this is by posting on free job posting sites, forums, or even answering questions on Quora. The key is to include your email in the posts, encouraging people to contact you.
For example, you could post something like, “Contact me at [your email] for a free guide!” When they email you, your autoresponder will send them your affiliate offers without you lifting a finger.
Step 5: Repeat and Scale
You can set up as many Gmail accounts as you need for different niches. Just make sure each account’s autoresponder is specific to the products you’re promoting. This strategy is fully automated, allowing you to scale your affiliate marketing efforts.
This simple method uses Gmail’s autoresponder to drive traffic to your affiliate links. It’s free, easy, and works for any niche! All you need is a Gmail account, affiliate links, and the willingness to post your email in forums and job boards.
