Avon, Mary Kay and Amway may be the most popular MLMs, but there are a myriad of companies out there using this business model to sell their products.

However, there are some big problems with MLM that need to be brought to your attention.

• When you sign-up as independent contractor, you MUST sign a 'standing order' for a certain amount of product, also called 'auto-ship' program. If you decline, you will NOT qualify for certain commissions
• You will have to recruit new members to build your down line for recurring commissions
•  Retail sales are only a very small percentage of your commissions
• The products are way over priced
• Less than 2% of participating members make money, and that's a proven fact

MLM is definitely not the way to go...you want to MAKE money, not lose it, right?

That brings me to the best way how to make money selling CBD OIL Online

Affiliate Marketing - Best Way To Sell CBD Oil Online

The concept of Affiliate Marketing is pretty simple: 

The Affiliate Marketer promotes the products or service of a merchant or provider, and receives  commission if a sale is consummated.

Below are some of the benefits using Affiliate Marketing to promote CBD Oil products:

However, what I like best about Affiliate Marketing is the fact that you are totally in control of all aspects of your business. You are NOT stuck with a certain product or merchant, and you can promote as many different brands as you like.

You are able to create your own email list, and target the subscribers with different product offers. 

How exactly is that working, you ask? Well, there are 4 simple steps ...

1. Pick a Niche - already done because our Niche is CBD Oil     
2. Determine your method of promoting product (Landing Page or Website)
3. Generate Traffic  
4. Broker Sales, earn commissions

We can put a check mark behind step 1, but let's find out what we actually have to do still.

Landing Page vs Website

Usually, a Landing Page, aka squeeze page, is used when email marketing is the vehicle to promote product.  This requires that the advertiser has a huge list of potential customers. If you don't have a list, you can promote your product by using other people's email lists by buying Solo Ads.

Another way to drive traffic to that landing page is Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising or paying for Facebook Ads. However, these methods are very expensive and cannot be recommended.

A much better, albeit slower way to drive targeted traffic to your product offers is via your OWN Website. ​​​​​​​​​

First of all, you will be 100% in charge of your business. And secondly, you are not limited in the ways to generate traffic. You own site gives you the ability to generate a lot of FREE and targeted traffic from people's web searches.

Let me give you just one example. 

I did a keyword search 'where to buy cbd oil' and the result shows that there are 8,300 searches per month with exactly this phrase on the internet. It also shows that you can expect 1,403 visits  per month  IF an article or blog with this title ranks on page 1  in Google search result.

That's FREE traffic of 1,400 potential buyers of the products you promote.

That makes it obvious that the best way to make money selling CBD oil online is with Affiliate Marketing and your own website.

You've decided on your Niche and chose to go the Affiliate Marketing way with your own website. While you are busy learning the trade and building your site, you also must decide on the products to promote.

How To Find Product To Promote

There is no shortage of merchants with lots of products. Some of them have their own Affiliate Program, others use one of the large Affiliate Networks. I even found help full information on  how to start a cbd oil business on a couple of merchant sites.

Affiliate Networks

Here are the links to affiliate networks that handle the process for merchants

Below is a list of merchants that maintain their own affiliate programs

What About Amazon?

Amazon carries a large assortment of CBD Oil products. They pay the lowest percentage on commissions, from 1%  to 8%. However, applying is simple, and affiliates profit from 'side ways' commissions; that is when a customer clicks on your CBD Oil link and buys a computer, you still receive commissions.

How Much Money Can You Make Selling CBD Oil Online?

To be honest, a prognosis is difficult to make. It depends on several factors:

For instance, understand that you create a business and treat it as such. It's not a hobby but work.

Be willing to LEARN Affiliate Marketing and that includes:

• build a Website
• add quality content
• learn SEO
• get involved in at least 2 Social Media platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram etc.)

I always like to say 'from nothing comes nothing!', meaning  that it takes to put something of value in to get something of value out. 

Put in Effort and Work, take out Earned Commissions

Best Way To Get Started!

I understand that the prospect of starting an online business from scratch is challenging and scary.

However, the CBD industry is booming and forecasts estimate a market volume of $20 Billion by the year 2021. Opportunities like that don't come too often and you may not want to miss out. Let me show you the way to  'jump on the band wagon' and get YOUR share of a very large affiliate commission pie.
