1) How did you find out about affiliate marketing and what inspired you to pursue this field?
I discovered affiliate marketing thanks to my 8-year experience in digital marketing. In this world, you come across various business models that can be beneficial without losing focus on what we are passionate about. When I started with my first digital courses, I realized that I could recommend the same tools I used for my strategies and get paid for it. It was the perfect job, right? That's when I understood that this would be a part of my life.
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?
The main strategies I used to succeed as an affiliate were focused on building a community. I have spent years working hard to grow my personal brand as a digital instructor in social media, which has allowed me to gain the trust of people who follow me and hire my consulting and educational services to achieve their goals and enhance their digital strategies.
If you're just starting out in affiliate marketing, my recommendation is to build a genuine, consistent, and above all, honest brand. This will ensure that your business is sustainable for the long term and that you can organically scale it.
3) How do you choose the products or services to promote as an affiliate? Is there any specific criteria you follow?
To promote a product or service as an affiliate, I always take into account my own business vision. In other words, if a service or product doesn't align with my vision, I don't even consider it. I promote Builderall because it meets the consistency between what I say and what I do. This tool has allowed me to become an expert in creating complex digital strategies, such as automation. Having achieved this through this service is a compelling reason to recommend it to other entrepreneurs who also have the desire to succeed through the internet.
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?
My opinion on the future of affiliate marketing is positive. I believe that we are just starting, especially in Latin America, to understand the importance of leverage that affiliate marketing provides, which traditional business models don't offer.
I firmly believe that there is a lot of room for growth as an affiliate and, above all, for innovation within the business model. As I mentioned earlier, we are just beginning to grasp its potential, and this applies not only to affiliates but also to companies that offer referral systems. There is still much to innovate and learn.
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?
I believe that the key to success for an affiliate network is to work exclusively with those who share your long-term vision of the business. These business models are not built in a month; they are built over the years. Therefore, you should collaborate with individuals who truly understand that this is a business like any other, and that it needs to be developed on a solid foundation to sustain and scale it in the long run.
The main characteristics I look for in an affiliate are:
a) Proactiveness.
b) Understanding that this is a long-term business.
c) Patience.
d) A willingness to learn and be guided.
e) A strong work ethic.
