🔧 Tools You Need (Free or Built-in):
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Amazon/Flipkart App | To generate product links |
| EarnKaro / BankSathi | Finance product affiliate apps |
| Bitly or Linktree | To shorten or group links |

📈 Step-by-Step Action Plan
✅ Step 1: Join Affiliate Programs (₹0)
| Platform | How to Join |
|---|---|
| Amazon | Sign up at affiliate-program.amazon.in |
| Flipkart | Apply via affiliate.flipkart.com |
| EarnKaro | App-based signup, link with mobile |
| BankSathi | App-based approval for finance leads |
| CRED, Zomato | Look for “Refer & Earn” sections |
💡 Tip: Keep an Excel/Note of your approved accounts + payout cycle.
✅ Step 2: Pick Your Niche
Stick to 1–2 content types that your contacts care about:
| Niche | Sample Ideas |
|---|---|
| Budget Gadgets | “Top 5 Bluetooth Earbuds under ₹999” |
| Skincare | “Best Vitamin C Serums in India 2025” |
| Apps | “Get ₹200 cashback on this app” |
| Finance | “Credit card with zero joining fee” |
✅ Step 3: Create Simple, Value-Based Content
You don’t need reels or blogs (though they help).
Start with:
- WhatsApp broadcast: “Today’s top 3 Amazon offers (with links)”
- Telegram group: “Weekly finance deals”
- Instagram story: “This ₹399 product is 🔥 + my referral link”
- Create a Linktree (free) with all your links
💡 People don’t like being “sold” — be helpful, not pushy.
✅ Step 4: Track Clicks & Earnings
- Most affiliate platforms give dashboards
- Use Bitly to shorten + track link clicks
- Test different styles (text-only, image, deal emoji)
Example WhatsApp Message:
"Just bought this mixer for ₹1,499 — here’s the link if you’re looking too: [short link] (affiliate)"
✅ Step 5: Build Trust & Grow
- Don’t spam — 1–2 useful shares/day max
- Share your own screenshot of earnings or usage
- Add “I may earn a small commission” = builds trust
🧮 Income Potential
| Level | Daily Clicks | Avg. Monthly Income |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 10–20 | ₹1,000–₹3,000 |
| Active Promoter | 50–100 | ₹5,000–₹20,000 |
| Niche Influencer | 100+ | ₹25,000+ |
💡 Finance products (credit cards, trading apps) = higher commission per lead (₹200–₹500+)
⚠️ Common Challenges:
- Links may expire — keep updating
- People may ignore generic posts — add personal notes
- Don’t rely only on friends — grow organically
🚀 Bonus Tips:
- Add your links to Quora answers (where relevant)
- Post product reviews on Telegram/WhatsApp/Instagram
- Create a “Deals of the Day” group
- Add FOMO: “Limited-time ₹500 cashback” or “Only for 24 hrs”
