1) How did you find out about affiliate marketing and what inspired you to pursue this field?

I discovered affiliate marketing in 2009. Initially, I started promoting products from ClickBank, then transitioned to promoting Hotmart products until I eventually became a producer myself. I came across Builderall in 2017, and ever since, I have been working tirelessly with their platform.

What inspires me to work in affiliate marketing is the fact that it doesn't require a significant investment to get started, or perhaps only a minimal investment. Another reason why I enjoy working with affiliate marketing is that I leverage the infrastructure of the product companies, which saves me a lot of time.

2) What were the main strategies you used to succeed as an affiliate? Could you share some valuable tips or insights for those who are starting out?

Initially, being an affiliate was much easier because there was less competition, and strategies like blog article positioning or YouTube videos worked well for me. In addition, providing support to people who purchased their membership was effective. Another strategy that works well is offering bonuses that exceed the perceived value of the customer's investment.

The main advice I give to someone who wants to start promoting as an affiliate is not to despair. This takes time. First, they must thoroughly understand the brand they are going to promote, study it extensively, know how to use it, and discover its strengths and weaknesses. They should immerse themselves in the brand, love it without being a blind fanatic who knows it's not perfect but is ideal for certain functions. Therefore, they should not judge it, but accept it as it is and love its growth process, in which it will correct flaws and continuously improve.

Once this process is ready, they should create a plan to promote tirelessly, without hesitation, and knowing that the results will not be immediate but will gradually increase their income.

3) How do you choose the products or services to promote as an affiliate? Is there any specific criteria you follow?

Sure, the products I choose to promote as an affiliate must meet the following criteria:

1. They must be usable, so that people who purchase them can use them immediately and derive significant benefits.
2. They must generate recurring earnings, allowing me to build a solid and constantly increasing income stream while promoting them. I avoid one-time sale products as they become disposable and require a significant amount of time and money to promote, which is not productive in the long run.
3. I must genuinely like the product, as it empowers me and brings me joy to promote it.
4. The product should have a track record in the market and demonstrate sustained growth potential for many years, helping me to build the desired lifestyle.

4) What is your opinion on the future of affiliate marketing? Do you think there is still a lot of room to grow and innovate in this area?

As an online business model, affiliate marketing has been a resounding success in recent years and continues to be one of the most effective ways to make money online for affiliates and merchants alike. In my opinion, the future of affiliate marketing is very promising, with plenty of room for growth and innovation in this field.

One of the reasons why I believe affiliate marketing will continue to thrive in the future is because it aligns perfectly with the growing trend of online commerce. As more and more people shop online, affiliate marketing becomes an increasingly effective way to promote products and services.

Furthermore, technology is evolving rapidly, presenting many opportunities to innovate in affiliate marketing. For instance, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning can help affiliates and merchants improve the accuracy of their advertising and increase its effectiveness.

5) How do you manage your affiliate network and communicate with them? What are the key characteristics you look for in an affiliate to work together?

Each affiliate is different and has specific needs as their personal level of knowledge varies from one affiliate to another. That's why I strive to provide personalized guidance to each of them, mainly through WhatsApp, although I have also created many tutorials to better guide them.

I don't look for specific characteristics in an affiliate, I simply promote the product through social media. In terms of targeting, I look for entrepreneurs, fan page administrators, individuals with some technological knowledge, and those between 25 and 45 years old. However, people of all types end up reaching out to me, so I assess their level of knowledge, their desire to have an online business, and I help and inspire them as much as I can. Each individual evolves at their own pace, so I don't judge their process but rather have all the patience in the world until they achieve their goals.

I am immensely grateful to Builderall for allowing me to showcase what has worked best for me in online business. I hope that my experience inspires many other people to choose this path and achieve the success they desire.
