Updated: Apr 4

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start making money online… if you do it right.


But most people fail.


How We Run Affiliate Marketing on IBIFoundry (And How You Can Start Too)
How We Run Affiliate Marketing on IBIFoundry (And How You Can Start Too)

Why?


Because they jump in blindly, throwing random affiliate links everywhere and hoping to get lucky.


But here’s the shocking truth: The people making $1,000s in affiliate marketing (like we do at IBIFoundry) follow a proven system.


In this blog post, I’m revealing exactly how we do affiliate marketing on IBIFoundry—our strategies, the mistakes we avoid, and how you can start making money online today.


Let’s get into it.

Introduction: My First Affiliate Sale (And How It Changed Everything)


It was 2018. I was deep into blogging, experimenting with different ways to make money online.


One day, I signed up for the Thrive Leads affiliate program, wrote a simple blog post about it, and added my affiliate link.


A few weeks later, I logged in and saw something unbelievable: I had made my first affiliate sale.


It was just a few dollars, but it felt like I had cracked the code. I was hyped!


Fast forward to today, IBIFoundry makes thousands of dollars through affiliate marketing, using a refined strategy that consistently drives sales.


And in this post, I’m going to break it all down for you.


What Is Affiliate Marketing?


Affiliate marketing is simple: You promote other people’s products and earn a commission for every sale made through your link.


Think of it like this…


You refer someone to a great restaurant, and the owner thanks you with a cash reward.


That’s basically what affiliate marketing is, but online!


It’s a multi-billion-dollar industry, and some people are making $10,000+ per month just by sharing useful recommendations.


But here’s the catch…


Not all affiliate marketing strategies work.


So, let me show you the exact method we use at IBIFoundry to generate consistent affiliate commissions.


The IBIFoundry Strategy: How We Made Our First Affiliate Sale


  1. We Found Perfect Products That Match IBIFoundry


Randomly promoting products is a bad strategy.


Instead, we chose products that:


  • Align with IBIFoundry’s audience (entrepreneurs, bloggers, and online business owners).

  • Have great affiliate programs (good commission rates and reliable payments).

  • Solve real problems (things we actually use and recommend).


  1. Signed Up for Platforms


We joined reputable affiliate networks like:


  • Impact

  • PartnerStack

  • ShareASale

  • Amazon Associates


These platforms give access to thousands of products, making it easy to find the best ones.


  1. Created Content Consistently for Weeks


No traffic = No sales.


So, we started publishing valuable blog posts, product reviews, and comparison articles to attract readers.


For example, our CartFlows Alternatives post was a game-changer—it ranked on Google and brought in our first affiliate commissions.


  1. Used Strategic Affiliate Links


We never spam links. Instead, we:


  • Placed links naturally inside helpful content.

  • Used call-to-actions like “Check out this tool here” instead of just dumping links.

  • Tested different placements to see what converts best.


  1. Optimized Each Content for SEO


We made sure our blog posts ranked on Google by:


  • Targeting low-competition, high-search volume keywords.

  • Using SEO-friendly blog structures (like this one).

  • Adding internal links to boost rankings.


  1. Repurposed Each Content


One blog post isn’t enough. So, we repurpose content into:


  • Pinterest Pins

  • YouTube videos

  • LinkedIn posts


This drives extra traffic and leads to more affiliate sales.


How You Can Begin Affiliate Marketing (Step-by-Step)


  1. Pick a niche (stick to what you know).

  2. Join affiliate programs (Amazon, PartnerStack, Impact, etc.).

  3. Create helpful content (product reviews, guides, comparisons).

  4. Place your affiliate links strategically (inside valuable content).

  5. Focus on SEO (to get free Google traffic).

  6. Repurpose your content (turn blog posts into social media posts).

  7. Be consistent (affiliate marketing takes time, but it works!).


Conclusion


Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start making money online—but only if you do it right.


At IBIFoundry, we built our affiliate income using a simple but effective strategy: choosing the right products, creating valuable content, and optimizing for SEO.


If you’re serious about making money online, start today!


And if you need help growing your blog or website with SEO, IBIFoundry is here for you.


Now, over to you… What’s stopping you from trying affiliate marketing?
