The coronavirus pandemic is developing quickly and as more and more countries shut down schools, public services and more, a lot of people are finding themselves stranded at home with little to do but worry.

But in the middle of the COVID-19 [ coronavirus ] panic, there is a group of work-from-home entrepreneurs that are largely unaffected. They don’t fear losing their jobs, their income is not in danger and they are already working from home, so the prospect of quarantine and shutdowns, pretty much still means business as usual.

Maybe you have been quarantined, maybe your school or workspace has closed down because of the coronavirus pandemic. 

If you find yourself with some extra time on hand… it might be a good idea to take a cue from these online entrepreneurs and use your time productively.

Building up a second stream of income can never hurt. It’s always nice to have an additional safety net for yourself and your loved ones… especially right now, as we still don’t know exactly how bad the situation will become.

The absolutely easiest way to start earning an extra income online is to become an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing means that you get paid a commission whenever you refer a sale to a merchant.

You don’t have to worry about creating products, managing stock, doing customer support or anything like that. You just grab your special affiliate link, share it and you will automatically get paid when someone buys from your link.

So how do you get started?

Here are the 5 steps you can take today, to quickly start earning affiliate commissions from the comfort of your own home.

 

  1. Join JVZoo.com for free

  1. Start a blog

The easiest way to start a blog is to grab a free one at WordPress.com.

  1. Document your journey… and profit!

Use your new blog to post about your life as an affiliate marketer. Do daily journal-style posts musing about what you are doing, why and how. Talk about your challenges and your triumphs. You could also review the products you purchased and make posts about how you are using it and how it’s helping you. Include affiliate links in your posts, so you will earn commissions when people buy anything after reading your blog

Your blog posts will soon start getting search engine traffic and you can boost your traffic a lot if you also share your posts on social media… and don’t be afraid to do so, lots of people are in the same boat as you and would find your journey both interesting and inspiring.

  1. (Optional) take it to the next level
