I absolutely love digital marketing! Yes, it is easy to learn if you are willing to learn it. I recommend checking out my Digital Course Millionaire review. However, what is difficult is having the discipline to stick with it and create a semi-passive income online.
Hi. I’m Eartha and I’ve been doing digital marketing for quite some time. My favorite form of digital marketing is affiliate marketing.
There are other ways to do digital marketing to earn income online. I’ll explain how they work below and what the differences are.

How Hard is it to Learn Digital Marketing for Beginners?
Digital marketing is not difficult to learn. There are many different parts to it but if you focus on one thing at a time, it is easy to pick up.
Some areas to consider include SEO (search engine optimization), podcasts, videos, social media, etc. to promote and sell products online.
In this post, I’m going to focus on two digital marketing businesses which include:
- Affiliate Marketing
- MRR (Master Resell Rights)
Is Digital Marketing Easy for Beginners?
Yes. Many beginners of digital marketing crush it and create a lucrative income for themselves. This is not typical. Some people have an excellent work ethic and when you teach them the skills, they go all in.
Is it Possible to Learn Digital Marketing in One Month?
You can learn a lot about digital marketing in one month but it is important to continue learning. The more you learn, the better you’ll get.
Not only that, but this industry is always changing so it’s important to stay on top of updates and new ways of doing things.
Here are some digital marketing topics to consider focusing on:
- SEO (search engine optimization)
- Copywriting
- Email Marketing
SEO is helpful if you plan on creating a blog. Copywriting is important if you plan on creating your own landing pages and writing emails for email marketing.
Types of Digital Marketing Businesses
There are different ways to earn an income online with digital marketing. However, the following business models are great even for complete beginners.
You don’t have to create your own product with either model and you can do the same exact marketing no matter which route you choose.
If you do it right, you can combine both models and really level up your income!
MRR (Master Resell Rights)
The first online business model that falls under digital marketing is MRR. MRR stands for master resell rights.
It works by buying a digital product (in most cases an online course) in which you get to license as your product.
Depending on the type of license, you may even be able to modify the product and rebrand it as yours.
The major benefit to MRR is that you get to keep 100% of every sale that you make. This is an advantage since with affiliate marketing you only get to keep a percentage of a sale.
If you’re wondering if master resell rights is the right online business for you, check out these pros and cons of MRR:
The Pros of MRR
- You have a digital product you didn’t have to create
- Price the product for whatever you want
- Keep 100% profit of every sale
- Unlimited inventory because the product is digital
The Cons of MRR
- You must set up an online shop
- Need a payment processor
- Customer support
- You may not be able to modify the product (depending on the license)
Affiliate Marketing
Many people gravitate towards affiliate marketing because of the low barrier to entry. It is one of the easiest business models to start. Affiliate marketing is one of my favorite business models.
Affiliate marketing is the promotion of another company’s product in exchange for a commission for every sale that you refer.
Here are some pros and cons of affiliate marketing to consider:
The Pros of Affiliate Marketing
- Easy to start
- Low-cost to start
- No need to process payments
- Zero customer service
- Unlimited earning potential
The Cons of Affiliate Marketing
- Only receive a percentage of every sale
- No control over the product
- Income can fluctuate
What’s Next?
If either digital marketing business model resonates with you, then it’s time to figure out how to get started.
How to Get Started with MRR
The easiest way to start MRR is to find an MRR product that you like. Before you do, keep in mind that many master resell rights digital products are not always high quality.
I’ve heard on many occasions that most of them are generic and offer very little value. Do some research and look for product reviews before investing your money.
Once you have your product, it’s a matter of marketing it to the right audience. The most popular marketing method is social media marketing.
Instagram is a great place to start. You can get immediate views even if you have a brand-new account.
How to Get Started with Affiliate Marketing
There are plenty of affiliate products that you can become an affiliate of. Similar to MRR, it’s important to do your research.
Some affiliate products are not the best quality. When you find one that you like, learn the product inside and out.
Even though it is not your product, it’s important to know everything about it so that you can better help your audience.
It’s difficult to recommend a product to anyone if you are not using it yourself. I’ve always had the best results recommending products I use.
Combine MRR with Affiliate Marketing
A big benefit of MRR is that you can use it to promote affiliate products on the backend.
The way this is possible is that inside the MRR digital course, you can recommend different types of software and tools.
These software and tools may have affiliate programs that you can join. Place your affiliate links within the MRR course and your customers may use your affiliate links to sign up for those options.
Another method is to recommend affiliate offers using email marketing. Chances are you will have created a sales funnel for your MRR product.
That means you’ll be collecting leads who will be added to your email list. Building an email list is essential to any online business.
