Where this spread started from two videos that Professor Mohamed Hafez published on his YouTube channel, The two videos spread widely and caused a stir in the internet world. Hence the work on Affiliate Market started. Then came many people who explained the issue in more detail. And these videos I will put at the end of the article, God willing, for those who want to hear them.
What is Souq.com (Amazon KSA Now)?
Souq.com is one of The largest electronic stores in the Arab worldAnd this company has been affiliated with Amazon since 2017, and this company includes more than 400,000 products, and it has many competitors such as: “Noon – Jumia.” Souq.com provides a system for merchants on the site; In order for them to sell their products, let’s learn about the types of products that we can market on Souq.
What products can be marketed?
There are 12 sections on Souq.com that you can market to. Such as: “Fashion Market – Mobiles and Tablets – Electronics – Home – Home Appliances – Health and Beauty…etc”.
Meaning that you will find the best products that you can market, God willing. Focus on what’s to come.
How do I choose the products that I will market?
In this step, you will find the successful marketer in choosing the right product. And the unsuccessful marketer in choosing the product,
So be careful in this step, because if you neglect it, you will find problems later.
There are several steps that you must follow in order to choose the right product: In principle, before I explain the steps, before you choose the product to be marketed, think with yourself for a minute.. Is there a season or a specific occasion such as religious holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, these holidays are one of the best seasons From which marketers make a lot of money from experience.. but I don’t swear to that
You may ask what do I sell on religious holidays?
religious holidays in particular or seasons in general, You find many of us think where to buy clothes or shoes,
Here is your role in your advertising campaigns and strategies through which you can reach the customer who wants to buy a specific thing
Market for products you understand
There are marketers who market products they know nothing about. When a customer inquires about this product,
They find that they cannot answer it, This is due to his failure to choose the right product for him.
This step is neglected by many of us as marketers. It is an understanding of the type of products we will market, Every marketer should market the products that he understands as their characteristics. Or in other words, you can talk to the customer, discuss and negotiate with him about the product.
Product quality
You and the quality of the product.. Marketers may choose poor quality products, He may ask why I did not find a buyer?
Your good choice of product quality, It brings you many benefits, including: You find the customer recommending his friends, for example, to buy from you, Gives you a respected name in the market you work in, You don’t find many returns.
While choosing the wrong product is the biggest mistake you will face in your business, And in our work on Affiliate Market, when you sell a poor quality product, you may find a lot of returns that will cause you depression, You find reviews and opinions you may not like from customers that damage your brand’s reputation, So I recommend the quality of the product.
Product price
You find marketers who choose the product at random without considering whether the price of this product is suitable for the customer or not,
And when he spends a lot of money in advertising campaigns, he says why didn’t I find clients?
The price of the product is certainly a big factor in the success of your marketing campaign.
for example: Most of us, but not all of us, when he goes to buy a particular product, finds him asking how much?
So take care of comparing the prices of this product with its competitors and recommend you for the second time the quality of the product.
There is a filter on Souq.com where you can set the minimum and maximum price for a particular product that you want to market.
Reviews
There is a great feature in Souq.com, which are the reviews on each product, At the end of any product page you will find reviews, These evaluations enable the customer to leave his impression and his opinion on the product.
This feature will actually benefit you in looking at the opinions of customers who have purchased the product, Know what are its advantages and what are its disadvantages.
Shipping by Souq
One of the best features that will benefit you on Souq is: You will be lucky if this feature is available in the product you will be marketing for. The shipping feature from Souq allows you that when the total price of the customer’s products exceeds 350 pounds, you will receive free shipping, This saves the customer the amount of freight. This feature is found on some products, as you can see in the next picture
By the way.. The shipping price on Souq to anywhere in Egypt is 26 pounds, There is also 5 pounds to be paid upon receipt .
Providing all product features:
If you want to market a product like shoes, And the shoes have characteristics of colors, sizes and the number of stokes in the site “any quantity of the product”
For example, if we choose to market shoes, We found a good quality shoe, a good evaluation, and a simple price. We come to this step, which provides the characteristics of the shoe in terms of its colors, sizes and shoe quantity:
- Colors: The shoes must have the common colors that customers need, Such as: White – black – maroon – navy – camel – gray
- Sizes: Must have 5 common sizes: 41-42-43-44-45″
- Shoe Quantity: I hear you say why is it important to know how many shoes are available?
When you know the amount of shoes, you can determine whether I will stop the advertising campaign or not, In other words, when you work on a product and run your advertising campaign, And the quantity of the product is implemented, you stop the advertising campaign in order not to spend a budget without orders.
Some may ask how do I know the quantity of shoes currently available? The truth is that we as marketers cannot know the available quantity in the shoes, but on Souq.com, when the quantity of any product reaches 10 pieces, the site starts placing a red flag like this image to alert you that the product is in limited quantity.
What happens when I work on a product with a red label, meaning the quantity is limited? When you work on a product with a limited quantity, you run your advertising campaign, and in a few hours, this quantity will be executed, so that the advertising campaign may not withdraw a budget, and in this case you may have wasted time And some of your budget. When you choose shoes, this sign should not be present.
Seller status
When you choose the product that you will market, it is preferable to enter the seller’s page, and take a look at the overall rating of the seller, From here you make the decision. Are you going to market to him or not to enter the seller’s page.. enter any product, Then click on the seller’s name on the left, you will find the seller’s rating.
Thus, we have explained the correct way to choose the product on Souq.com.

Thus, we have reached the end of our explanation of the strategy of profit from commission marketing or affiliate market.com.
Reasons and solutions for closing your Affiliate Souq account
There are several mistakes that affiliate marketers make on Souq.com, But those who work in violation of the policies of Souq.com or in the correct sense of the north way.
The illegal way that marketers use to profit from Affiliate Souq is that they place orders for customers themselves, In other words, the marketer asks the customer for the product he wants to buy. And as we mentioned in the laws above that this method is illegal and violates 100% with the policies of Affiliate Souq.
But as we all know that the concept of online shopping for Arabs is not widespread, But in the coming years, this future will become, God willing. Therefore, the customer may not know how to order the product himself from Souq.com. Therefore, the marketer resorts to asking him for his order himself in order not to lose the customer.
At the beginning of my work on Affiliate Souq, I was not aware of these laws, and that asking for the product to customers is against, I was talking to customer service one day to solve a problem, I spontaneously mentioned that I buy for clients myself, The account was closed the same day with the money in it and I can’t get it back until today, Therefore, I will present the causes of the problems faced by marketers who work in violation of the laws of Affiliate Market, And the way to solve it, God willing. And every new marketer should avoid them as much as possible.
When you speak with Souq.com customer service, do not mention to them that you are ordering customers yourself as you made a mistake.
It is also preferable not to forget, after your customers receive the product, to enter the account and give an evaluation of the product so that you are not suspected that you are making orders yourself, and rate all products a positive evaluation
Allocate a phone number to contact customer service, or even better if you have a landline phone, it is preferable to call from it, because if they suspect that you are not the customer that you enter and communicate with about a problem you are facing, or you are a marketer and find out that you are working illegally, they close your account.
We prefer to operate legally. And according to the popular saying of the Egyptians, “Walk right. Your enemy is confused about you.”
If you have finished reading up to here, I highly encourage you to focus on this, my friend. Send blessings upon me (Our Master Muhammad, the best of prayers and peace be upon him), And let’s get into the problem of not calculating commissions.
The problem of not calculating commissions in Affiliate Souq
Many marketers who have already started working on Affiliate Souq are facing the problem of not calculating profits, There are many reasons, so let’s know them now to avoid them
- Do not clear browser cookies or history:
The non-calculation of the Souq affiliate commission is due to the failure to clear the cookies of the browser on which orders are requested by customers,
Therefore, I advise you to clear cookies every week in order to keep your browser clean
Affiliate link:
- The problem may be due to the fact that the affiliate link is invalid or invalid, so make sure your links are always correct
- Do not shorten the affiliate link on sites such as bitly or any link shortening site
- Do not follow your stats from the dashboard, affiliate souq dashboard
- If you want to see your statistics, I advise you to go to the Reports section to see the statistics of orders.
- The requests you request from ten in the evening until six in the morning will not appear on the system until after six in the morning, God willing.
- Be patient because the Affiliate market system or website is very, very slow to respond and I know that you will suffer from it,
So wait for a while and come back to see your stats .
Payment methods, profit withdrawal method and minimum withdrawal
There is only one payment method on Affiliate Souq.com, which is by bank transfer, In the sense that it requires you to make a bank account in any Egyptian bank that supports transfers from abroad in order to receive your money, such as the National Bank or the Bank of Alexandria
This information is required from you when you enter the payment method on Souq.com. So you should get it from the bank:
- Account Holder Name
- Account Number
- Swift – BIC
- Bank Name
- Bank Address
- City
- Country
There is an error in the video that Mr. Mohamed Hafez was requesting orders for all customers from only one market email, But this is the problem that I lost the account that was closed, I recommend that you order each customer with a different email.
Here we come to the end of this article about affiliate marketing and follow us in upcoming lessons on modern sources adopted by affiliate marketers in 2020, who caught my eye with their success, which I see daily from the increase in popularity and visibility on Google … not in their words.
